In the courtyard of Huaxi, experienced doctors from the emergency department stood in the courtyard, triaging the rescued patients that had been transported over.
Xie Ning was beside the doctor, silently busy.
At first, he helped carry the patients to the ward and to the operating theater.
As volunteers joined in one after another, middle-aged and elderly people like Xie Ning were pushed to the side by the young men.
Everyone was so anxious that their eyes turned red. They did not care about respecting the old and loving the young.
Xie Ning stood in front of a wall, holding a piece of paper and a pen from the emergency department in his hand. He distributed them to the survivors and family seekers.
Behind him was an ordinary wall. Not long ago, an old man who had been rescued from the disaster area looked for paper and a pen with tears in his eyes.
After writing down the last location and appearance of his missing relative, the old man cried silently.
Perhaps this farewell would be an eternal one.
Xie Ning saw that the old man's words were messy and unclear. After asking the old man's family's specific appearance and characteristics, he wrote a new one and silently posted the missing person notice on the wall.
When there was one, there would be another.
Soon, a long wall was covered with missing person notices.
As the wind blew, the white paper rustled as if it was crying.
It looked like a simple job, but it quickly consumed Xie Ning's energy. During this period, he started smoking again. It seemed that the spicy stimulation of tobacco could make him feel more … alive.
For the rest of the time, he did not even need to sleep. He was busy day and night.
The sound of the ambulance was no longer so ear-piercing. Instead, it sounded a little cheerful. After all, the continuous arrival of ambulances meant that a large number of injured people had been rescued and sent over.
With Huaxi Hospital behind them, most of the injured could receive timely and appropriate treatment.
Huaxi's doctors were the same as the Imperial Capital Hospital. During the earthquake, the emergency surgical force that stayed at home was taken away by a car.
Then, their vacation was canceled and all the doctors were recalled. They began to work day and night.
Another car of injured people was sent over. Xie Ning watched from afar. Although he was a little numb from fatigue, he still habitually analyzed the severity of the patient from some small movements and whether there was still value in saving them.
However, this time, Xie Ning saw that the expression of the white-haired chief of Huaxi's emergency department seemed to be a little off.
The emergency department chief looked at the patients. He was a little surprised and did not triage them like in the past.
It was very strange. Xie Ning found a place to paste the missing person notice in his hand. He tried his best not to affect the surrounding missing person notices and then leaned over.
"Where was the surgery done?" the old chief of the emergency department asked in surprise when he saw the incision on the patient's abdomen.
A doctor got out of the car and reported the patient's condition.
"It's a patient who was picked up by a helicopter. It's said that he's injured on an isolated island that can't be entered. The doctor who entered the frontline performed the emergency surgery and wrote down the patient's diagnosis, treatment, and suggestions for the future and attached them to the patient. "
The old chief physician frowned. The area in front of them was like an isolated island. Could they perform level three or four surgeries?
There should not be such a condition. This was the first batch of postoperative patients he had received for level three or four surgeries.
Other than that, at most, there were only simple orthopedic splints and simple debridement and suturing.
However, time was tight. The patient's blood type had been tested and blood transfusion had begun. However, seeing that his condition was not stable, he needed to immediately send him to the corresponding department to confirm the diagnosis and carry out follow-up treatment.
The old chief physician saw that there were layers of adhesive tape on the patient's body. He tore off a patient's tape, took out the paper inside, and looked at it carefully.
It was a piece of tissue. It was wet and the words on it were a little blurred, but it did not affect reading.
Hemorrhagic shock, liver rupture, and liver rupture had already been sutured under local anesthesia. The surgeon wrote down his suggestion at the back — blood transfusion, second laparotomy in the general surgery department, debridement, and then sent to the ICU for anti-shock treatment.
This was the suggestion of the frontline personnel. The emergency department chief would not refuse.
Then, the treatment of this group of people would be much simpler. They could just be sent directly to the general surgery department.
Although more than a dozen seriously injured people were on the verge of death, they still managed to reach Huaxi alive.
As long as they came to Huaxi, even if they wanted to die, it would not be so easy. The emergency department chief was confident about this.
However, his expression was strange and filled with disbelief.
After all the patients were triaged and the doctors escorted the patients to the corresponding departments, the old chief frowned.
"Chief, what's wrong?" Xie Ning handed him a cigarette and asked.
"Ning, why don't you go and rest for a while?" the old chief asked.
He did not know what Xie Ning's name was, and Xie Ning did not say it either. He only said that he could be called Ning. As for those junior doctors, it was enough for them to call him Brother Ning or Uncle Ning.
There was no need to know each other. In a few days, the earthquake relief would end. They would be far apart from each other and forget each other.
"I'm not tired." Xie Ning also lit a cigarette and took advantage of the short interval to slow down. "The batch of patients just now looked different from the others."
"Yes. They performed the surgery on the frontline. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have survived until now. " The old chief took a deep puff of his cigarette and said in confusion, "But the paper said that the surgery was performed under local anesthesia. I believe in the previous condition of local anesthesia, but surgery … local anesthesia to cut the spleen and sew the liver? I've never seen it before. "
"Who cares? As long as they come to us alive, it's enough," Xie Ning said with a smile.
What he said made sense. Now was not the time to delve into academic issues.
The old chief smiled, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and then put it out.
There were not many patients sent over now, but it was said that the majority of the patients had already entered. It could be foreseen that in the next few days and nights, there would be a huge peak period waiting for him.
It was not only Huaxi, but also Chengdu Provincial Hospital and City Hospital.
There was a huge flow of patients and there were many patients who needed surgery. The doctors in the inpatient department would probably be too busy.
He might need to do the surgery on his own.
He would take advantage of this opportunity to find a place to take a nap.
He really did not know when he would be able to sleep again.
"Ning, you go ahead with your work. I'll find a place to take a nap," the old chief said.
Xie Ning watched as the old chief called a capable doctor under him to wait for the triage. Then, he left. He also put out his cigarette and went back to his work.
Some people were lucky and left their names and physical signs on each other's wall of missing people. Xie Ning's brain was like a computer, matching up in an instant.
The separated people reunited and hugged each other to celebrate. Xie Ning was sincerely happy for them.
However, the vast majority of people could not wait for the results. Their loved ones had long been separated from them.
Only the paper on the wall of missing people was blown by the wind, leaving behind their worries and sacrifices in this world.
Not long after, a group of young people in suits and leather shoes came to Huaxi. Xie Ning brought them away and rushed to the frontline that he had already planned.
