"Why are there so many people injured?" Ma Yanlin, who followed Ling Ran to the hospital, knew that he was in trouble.
No matter what kind of injuries the patients had, the most tiring and miscellaneous tasks would definitely fall on his shoulders. Moreover, most of the medical staff in Guozheng Charity Hospital had run away. Now, there were only a few nurses and care workers left. Ma Yanlin could imagine how heavy the task would be next.
Chef Zhu, who was carrying a frying pan on his back, acted as a translator. He was stunned when he saw the wailing patients on the ground. He asked in a low voice for a while before he stood up and said, "There are patients who were injured in car accidents, some whose houses collapsed, some who fell from the barn while repairing it, and some who fell from their horses …"
"In short, they are all patients who had accidents? So many? "Ma Yanlin was even more surprised.
"It didn't happen in one day. The patients from the past few days have all been gathered here. Because there are too few medical staff, the volunteers who came to help later gathered them in the hall so that they could solve the problem together. "
Ma Yanlin looked at the hall that was as lively as a small clinic in the countryside, and his face turned green. "The volunteers who came to help are not doctors, right?"
"The doctors have all run away, so now we have to find a way to transport the seriously injured out." Chef Zhu asked a few more questions, shrugged, and said helplessly, "It's like the apocalypse. There are at least one hundred injured people now, and they all need to be treated urgently …"
Ma Yanlin suddenly laughed when he heard that.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I mean …" Ma Yanlin thought about it and said, "This is far from the apocalypse. This is the daily life of large-scale tertiary Grade A hospitals in the country."
"Huh?"
"Two doctors, one hundred patients, and we still have enough hospital beds. We also have a few volunteers who don't know what to do, and a few nurses, right?" Ma Yanlin pursed his lips and said, "Before we came to Brazil, we did this every day. Alright, roll up your sleeves. "
As Ma Yanlin spoke, he brought Chef Zhu to check the labels on the patients' wrists one by one and did further checks. Just by looking at the current state of the hospital, he lost confidence in the volunteers' classification of patients.
"All the doctors have run away. You Brazilians are really something," Ma Yanlin said and shook his head.
Chef Zhu chuckled. "I'm not a Brazilian. Besides, doctors have a high status. Why would they stay?"
Ma Yanlin cast a sidelong glance at Chef Zhu. "Aren't we doctors?"
"My fault, my fault." Chef Zhu laughed and said, "At times like this, we can only rely on the doctors in our country."
"We are reliable, but some good-for-nothings are equally unreliable," Ma Yanlin said as he glanced at the patients.
At this time, Ling Ran had also returned from the operating theater. Beside him was the beautiful Selena, who was dressed in a maid's uniform, who acted as his interpreter.
"The operating theater can still be used. Right now, there are only two nurses in total. Leave one outside, and I'll bring the other in. In addition, Selena will temporarily act as an off-stage nurse." Ling Ran quickly made a decision. He looked around and picked out one of the patients. Then, he called out to his family members and said, "Send him to the operating theater first. Also, send all the patients back to the wards."
"No." At this moment, the volunteer in charge of the hospital stood up. The leader was a middle-aged woman. She looked like she had amazing fighting spirit. She said, "Only by gathering the patients together can we take care of them. Right now, we don't have enough manpower. No one knows how many days the heavy rain and flood will last. During this period, even helicopters can't come over …"
"Gathering the patients together will increase the rate of infection. The hospital also lacks enough drugs. So, send the patients back to the wards." When Ling Ran gave a medical explanation, he was willing to say a few more words, but his tone was a little stiff.
The middle-aged woman snorted a few times. She was a little worried, but she still insisted and said, "We only have a total of five volunteers, and we have to take care of more than a hundred patients. If we were to split them into different wards … We're not professional nurses …"
"Let the patients' family members help. Think of ways to take care of the patients with minor injuries." Ling Ran had stayed in the Emergency Department for more than a year. Not only did he perform surgeries and play emergency medicine, but he also often listened to Huo Congjun talk about skills. Military doctors had long since come up with all kinds of mature plans to deal with the situation in front of them.
In fact, if there were no doctors to help in a short period of time, Ling Ran's operation in the operating theater would also change.
For example, he would not complete the surgery completely. Instead, he would focus on saving lives and maintaining the patient's condition.
At this moment, Guozheng Charity Hospital in Cuba Town was no longer a complete hospital. The lack of medical staff, especially the lack of drugs, blood products, and medical consumables, had greatly reduced the safety of the hospital.
The hospital's current problem was mainly the lack of transportation capacity.
Due to the heavy rain in Cuba Town, helicopters could not take off and land at all. Ordinary SUVs and pickup trucks could not drive more than one hundred miles in the mud, let alone ordinary cars. Only large trucks could barely pass through, and it also depended on the skills of the driver and the mechanical condition of the vehicle.
Most importantly, Cuba Town was currently in a higher position. At least, it was not threatened by floods and mudslides. Once they drove out, they might be trapped by floods and mudslides at some part of the road. This was a matter of probability. It was not something that could be avoided even if the driver had a good car or good skills.
Even Unimogs would be at a loss if they encountered mudslides, or if they encountered a landslide or a road behind a mudslide. A large amount of mud would also cause a lot of headaches.
Such a problem made the risk of transportation so high that it was basically impossible to carry out.
Ling Ran also realized that he had to persevere for a period of time under the lack of doctors and medicine. Therefore, he was very determined when he faced the volunteers.
The volunteers who stood against Ling Ran looked at Ling Ran and felt that they could no longer fight against him.
"Alright, you're the only doctor on the scene. We'll listen to you." The middle-aged volunteer sighed and said, "My name is Julia. You can just call me Julie. What should we do now?"
"Tidy up and clean the ward. Make a list of the drugs and medical consumables in the storeroom. Then, move the patient into the ward and establish contact with the outside world. It's best if there's a satellite phone." Ling Ran poured out the things he got from Huo Congjun, roughly glanced at the patient, and entered the operating theater.
"The patient has an abdominal injury, and his shoulder is also very painful. He was involved in a car accident, but there's no X-ray machine." Selena translated for Ling Ran every few sentences the nurse said.
In just a few dozen seconds, the terrible situation of the hospital was exposed.
Fortunately, the X-ray machine could be replaced by a Virtual Human. Ling Ran nodded and habitually looked to the right. He frowned and asked, "Where's the anesthetist?"
"He ran away." Selena's translation was very straightforward.
Ling Ran was silent, but he was handsome.
