Next, Xia Ruofei's movements were very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had inserted silver needles into seven or eight acupoints. It was rather dazzling.
Xia Ruofei's pulse reading and acupuncture were not just a cover-up in front of Guo Zhan. He had been self-studying Chinese medicine for a long time. Now, he was no longer a layman in Chinese medicine theory and practice.
Acupuncture naturally couldn't cure the poison, but it could slow down the circulation of the blood and prevent the poison from spreading.
Then again, he still needed the Spiritual Heart Flower's solution if he wanted to cure the poison.
Xia Ruofei did not remove the needles from Jin Gang's body. Instead, he stood up and took out a bottle of Spiritual Heart Flower's solution from his bag.
When Xia Ruofei received Guo Zhan's call, he already knew what might happen. Hence, he took the Spiritual Heart Flower's solution from the Ring-Tu space as a backup.
Furthermore, it was a solution with a relatively high concentration.
From the looks of it, this decision was correct. In Jin Gang's situation, the poison was extremely dangerous. Furthermore, it had spread throughout his body through his bloodstream. It could be said that he was in imminent danger. If the Spiritual Heart Flower's petals were too diluted, it might not be able to treat him well.
When Xia Ruofei looked at Jin Gang's situation, he realised that Jin Gang had undergone a tracheotomy and was placed on a ventilator. Hence, it wasn't practical to feed him medicine directly.
Xia Ruofei looked up and instantly had an idea.
After the patient was placed on a ventilator, he would have to use a gastric tube if he needed to eat. Then again, the patients in the ICU did not need to eat since most of them had lost their ability to chew. Hence, the nutrients and electrolytes that their bodies required would be delivered through an intravenous drip.
In other words, it was an IV drip.
Right now, there was a bag that was almost empty. Hence, Xia Ruofei walked to the other side of the bed. There were some commonly used medical equipment on the shelf, including disposable syringes.
Xia Ruofei took one and tore open the outer packaging. Then, she inserted the syringe into the small porcelain bottle and inhaled the syringe of Spirit Heart Flower petal solution.
Next, Xia Ruofei turned on the flow regulator on the infusion device to temporarily cut off the flow. Then, without hesitation, he picked up the syringe and inserted it into the infusion bag to inject the Spirit Heart Flower's petal solution.
When Guo Zhan saw this scene, he opened his mouth. But in the end, he did not disturb Xia Ruofei.
Due to his absolute trust in his comrade, he remained silent when he saw Xia Ruofei violating the ICU's procedure.
Xia Ruofei sucked a few more times, and the dried-up infusion bag became full again. He put the remaining half of the bottle of flower petal solution into his bag, turned on the regulator, and started the infusion again.
This might be more effective than taking the flower petal solution, because the solution was directly injected into the vein, and the stomach did not need to absorb it.
Of course, the best method was to directly inject the solution. After all, the infusion speed was relatively slow.
However, Xia Ruofei had never studied nursing, so she couldn't do this job well. It was even more impossible to find an outside nurse to do it. They could only turn a blind eye to it. Without a doctor's prescription, recklessly injecting a patient with an unknown drug would cause them to lose their job if they were investigated!
Moreover, Xia Ruofei had just checked Jin Gang's condition. For the time being, his condition was stable. At least, his life wouldn't be in danger for a few hours.
As more and more Spiritual Heart Flower's solution was injected into his body, his life would naturally not be in danger. In this way, the recovery process would be slower and less noticeable.
After Xia Ruofei was done, he nodded to Guo Zhan and said, "Captain, don't worry too much. This is an antidote that I specially formulated. It has a good effect on many toxins. Today, there are two bottles in my bag, so it's just in time."
"Thank you for your hard work, Blood Wolf." Guo Zhan said, "Whether Jin can survive this time or not, I am very grateful to you."
"Wolf King, we are brothers. Jin is also a soldier that I personally trained. Don't treat me like an outsider." Xia Ruofei said.
Guo Zhan reached out and patted Xia Ruofei's shoulder heavily. He didn't say anything more.
At this time, silence was better than words.
Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan didn't leave the IcU. The two moved chairs together and sat down, paying attention to Jin Gang's condition.
The two had a tacit understanding. Xia Ruofei didn't ask Guo Zhan about the mission, nor did he ask which comrade had sacrificed.
In fact, the two kept silent most of the time. Occasionally, they would talk about the past.
As time passed, there was only the regular beeping sound of the monitoring equipment in the ward. Guo Zhan occasionally looked up at Jin Gang. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and take a closer look.
Then he said, "Blood Wolf, come and take a look. I don't know if it's my illusion, but Jin's complexion seems to have improved a lot."
Of course, it was not an illusion. When the two first entered the door, Jin Gang's face was dark gray, and the color of his skin was very dim. What was more shocking was that although the wound had been treated with anti-inflammatory treatment, it was still bluish-purple. At first glance, it was obvious that he had been poisoned very deeply.
Now, the dark gray color had faded a lot, and a trace of color had begun to return to his face. The terrible bluish-purple color of the wound had also faded a lot.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Wolf King, it seems that my antidote should be effective. At least Jin's vital signs are very stable, and there is a trend of improvement. "
Guo Zhan exhaled a long breath, then patted Xia Ruofei's shoulder and said, "Brother! Thank you! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He also patted Guo Zhan gently. He could see that Guo Zhan was very excited. This extremely calm old leader had a lot of mood swings today, which was a little different from the Guo Zhan he remembered.
Xia Ruofei asked Guo Zhan to sit down and calm down a little. Then he looked up at the infusion bag. There was still about one-third of the solution of the spirit flower petals left.
Xia Ruofei nodded secretly. After using the solution of the spirit flower petals so many times, he was more experienced than before in controlling the concentration and dosage. This time, he controlled it very accurately.
If the concentration of the solution was too high and the dosage was too large, there would be a situation where not only would all the toxins be eliminated, but even the wounds would begin to heal. In this way, it would be too shocking.
Now it seemed that today's dosage was just about enough. Because of the length of the syringe, the solution of the spirit flower petals in the small porcelain bottle was not completely extracted. However, Xia Ruofei roughly calculated and felt that the dosage should be about enough. The toxins that made the experts in the General Hospital helpless couldn't be completely eliminated in one dose, could they?
Also, the gunshot wounds and the wounds left from the surgery couldn't be healed without medication, right?
So … Xia Ruofei looked at the unconscious Jin Gang lying on the hospital bed and silently said in his heart, Little Jin, I can only let you suffer a little.
The men of the Lone Wolf Commando Team weren't afraid of death. What was a little pain to them?
Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan didn't say anything. When the bag of flower petals was finished, the nurse outside came in to change the bottle.
The nurse felt that it was a little strange. She felt that this bottle took a lot longer than expected. She looked at Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan suspiciously. However, their superiors had already specially instructed that this patient's condition was special and confidential, so Guo Zhan could act according to his discretion.
Therefore, although the nurse felt that it was a little strange, she didn't say anything.
As for the IcU's surveillance footage, the nurse naturally didn't have the authority to look at it. Moreover, Xia Ruofei also knew that Guo Zhan would definitely coordinate to delete it, so he wasn't worried.
After the nurse changed the bottle, she checked Jin Gang's various physical indicators as usual. She couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
In particular, Jin Gang's complexion and complexion were obviously better. Even people without medical professional knowledge could see it.
"Nurse, is there a problem?" Guo Zhan asked.
"The patient seems to be getting better." The nurse said with some excitement, "I'll report to Director Cai right away!"
After that, the nurse hurried out.
Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan looked at each other. Although the masks covered their expressions, they quickly read each other's intentions from their eyes.
Guo Zhan said, "Blood Wolf, if you're afraid of trouble, why don't you leave first?"
Guo Zhan knew very well what Xia Ruofei's treatment meant. He knew that his old subordinate must have some secrets, but Guo Zhan didn't care. Who didn't have some privacy? If Xia Ruofei could tell him, he would have told him long ago.
Moreover, in a unit with such a high level of confidentiality, Guo Zhan had long been used to keeping his mouth shut. He also had a lot of things that he couldn't tell Xia Ruofei, even if they were like brothers. For example, this operation.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's okay. Your level of confidentiality is the best shield. But don't take off my mask. In addition, I'll have to trouble you to deal with the internal and external surveillance images today."
Guo Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry!"
After a while, the director of the General Hospital's Department of Surgery, Academician Cai Zhengbin, entered the IcU with a group of experts. They immediately did a comprehensive examination of Jin Gang's situation.
The results came out quickly — the toxin content in Jin Gang's blood had been reduced by 80% compared to the post-operation examination.
In other words, about 20% of the original toxin was still in the body.
Academician Cai Zhengbin said excitedly, "This is great! It will buy precious time for our follow-up treatment! "
Guo Zhan bowed to the white-haired old academician and said, "Academician Cai, thank you very much for your hard work in saving the life of an ordinary soldier. But … I think we have found a way to deal with the toxin, so we won't bother you with the detoxification. "
Cai Zhengbin was stunned when he heard this. The experts and students behind him all looked unhappy.
What the hell is this?
However, Cai Zhengbin didn't mind at all. He heard something unusual from Guo Zhan's words.
Cai Zhengbin asked excitedly, "Comrade, you … You said you found an effective antidote?"
Guo Zhan nodded with certainty.
Cai Zhengbin immediately looked at Xia Ruofei, who was next to Guo Zhan. However, Xia Ruofei was wearing a sterile suit and a mask, so it was impossible to recognize who he was.
Guo Zhan seemed to know what Cai Zhengbin was thinking. He said apologetically, "Academician Cai, I'm sorry … This matter is highly confidential. I have no right to disclose the antidote and treatment plan, including the identity of this comrade. Please understand."
A chief physician behind Cai Zhengbin couldn't help but frown and say, "This is against the rules, right? The patient was treated by our hospital, and it was Director Cai who personally performed the surgery. As for the antidote treatment, we also organized a consultation overnight. Without the hospital's permission, you quietly used an unknown drug and even wanted to keep it a secret from us … "
Cai Zhengbin turned around and glared at the chief physician. He said, "Huang, watch your words!"
Most of these experts were Cai Zhengbin's students. Many of them had followed Cai Zhengbin since their undergraduate, master's, and doctorate degrees. Therefore, after Academician Cai said a few words, they all calmed down.
In fact, Cai Zhengbin was very clear about what his students were thinking. This unknown poison was so fierce and difficult to treat. If they could study its principle and dig deeper into it, it would definitely be an excellent topic. A little sorting out would be very good results.
Now that the antidote treatment had nothing to do with them, how could they not be anxious?
And it was obvious that the antidote Guo Zhan found was symptomatic, which made the medical experts even more eager.
However, Cai Zhengbin also knew that this patient, as well as Guo Zhan, came from a highly confidential unit. Moreover, the head of the military region had personally called to ask about it overnight.
The head of the military region had even called his cell phone and told him that these two people were very important. He asked them to do their best to save the patient's life. At the same time, he emphasized the confidentiality discipline and told them to only care about the treatment and not to inquire about things that they shouldn't inquire about.
Academician Cai, who had been in the military for decades, naturally knew the weight of these words. Therefore, after he scolded the chief physician surnamed Huang, he immediately said to Guo Zhan, "We respect your opinion. In addition to the antidote treatment, our general hospital will also send the most capable people to ensure that there are no accidents during the recovery period! If you need anything, you can call me directly. "
Guo Zhan said sincerely, "Thank you, Elder Cai!"
Cai Zhengbin nodded with a smile and then left the ward with the experts in his department. The problem of the unknown toxin had been basically solved. The patient's vital signs were very stable. There was no need for so many experts to keep an eye on him.
After the doctors left, Xia Ruofei smiled and gave Guo Zhan a thumbs up.
Guo Zhan looked at Jin Gang on the bed and said, "Blood Wolf, Jin's condition is basically stable. Let's go out for a smoke."
"Okay!"
Xia Ruofei stood up and the two left the IcU. After changing out of the sterile clothes, Xia Ruofei didn't take off his mask and just went out with it.
Smoking was definitely prohibited in the hospital, so the two came to the end of the corridor and walked to the balcony outside. Guo Zhan took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and threw it to Xia Ruofei, then took out one for himself and lit it.
Xia Ruofei took a deep breath and then exhaled deeply. He looked at the dark night sky without saying a word.
But what will come will come.
Guo Zhan asked calmly, "Niu Tao told you everything?"
Xia Ruofei's body trembled slightly. He looked back at Guo Zhan and nodded silently. The familiar faces of his comrades appeared in front of his eyes. Who would be … unfortunately sacrificed in this mission?
