  Chapter 713 - Pengxi Village Hospital?

  At Huaxi in the courtyard, figures in white clothes were constantly shuttling through the green tents. The overall atmosphere was busy. It was like a sky full of bright clouds that had been pressing down on their hearts for a long time. It pressed down on them so much that they did not even have the time to complain about being tired. If they had the time, they might as well find a place to lie down and sleep for a while. There was nothing more blissful than that. The emergency department chief was sitting by the roadside in Huaxi Hospital. He was holding the printed data in his hand and thinking about something. "Chief, the new emergency management system is really useful," a young clerk from the medical administration division said as he stood by the side. "Well, why don't you see who did it?" The chief looked at the data in his hand and thought about something. "Who did it?" The little clerk was surprised. Could it be that the chief knew the person who worked in the system? "That person was still helping us a few days ago. Later, a group of people came under his command and went to the frontline." The little clerk was stunned. At this time, it was not easy to go to the frontline. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the individual had to be extremely powerful. However, what did it have to do with the Emergency Medical Management System Software? "The data isn't right." The chief of the emergency department pointed at the A4 paper in his hand and said, "What about the pelvis fracture patients in Pengxi Village? Why isn't it reflected in the data?" The young clerk was not a medical student. He was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "I'll go and check it out." After saying that, he ran away like a wisp of smoke. The old chief frowned and pondered, afraid that something might go wrong. Pengxi Village was supposed to be at the forefront, so more critically ill patients should be transferred. However, the data showed that from about two days ago, there had been no serious pelvic fracture injuries. Internal organ rupture, serious pelvic fracture injuries were some of the most frequently treated types of trauma. This type of trauma was not life-threatening, but it was also very serious. If treatment was prolonged, it would definitely be fatal. Normally, if a large army went in and dug people out of the rubble, it would take at least a day. Almost all the people who were sent here were in a state of hemorrhagic shock and had to be treated urgently. Could it be that there was something wrong with the rescue work of the six counties and cities that had been severely affected by the radiation in Pengxi Village? It should not be. Other people with light and heavy injuries were continuously sent from Pengxi Village but there were no people with serious pelvic fractures. According to the data from the past few hours, even the number of amputees was gradually decreasing. Soon, the young clerk from the medical administration division ran back. He held a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Chief, it was Pengxi Village that carried out the surgery. The postoperative patients were not sent to us. They were sent directly to Chengdu Provincial Hospital and other lower-level hospitals." "How many were there?" "197 patients. The patients were sent to Chengdu Provincial Hospital and lower-level hospitals and have recovered well. Only two of them have not been corrected for hemorrhagic shock. They are still being treated." The data in the small clerk's hand explained everything. It was strange. How could Pengxi Village Hospital withstand such a large amount of treatment for serious pelvic fractures? The emergency department chief did not really believe it, but the data showed him the truth of the matter. Whether he believed it or not, the data was there. It was not just the number of surgeries, but also the response of the patients after surgery. "Oh right, I received a call from Pengxi Village. They said that they have started to perform embolectomy on patients who need an amputation. The corresponding patients should be sent to us very soon," the young clerk said. The emergency department chief was silent. He still could not understand how Pengxi Village was able to achieve such results with their simple and crude condition. Huaxi was the last dam that blocked the flood-like flow of the wounded from the frontline. Countless people were being treated here. The number was shocking. As the chief of the emergency department who received and triaged patients here, he did not want to think too much about it. However, as the eldest brother of Southwest Medical Hospital and one of the few Class Three Grade A Hospitals in the country, they had opened all the interventional surgery rooms at the same time. Only then was he able to barely cope with the treatment of a large number of patients with severe pelvic fractures and large retroperitoneal hematoma. Pengxi Village Hospital? It was really strange. They still needed to perform an embolectomy? Not to mention the technical strength, were there enough machines on their side? Just as he thought about it, a first-aid ambulance sped over. The whimpering sound of the ambulance did not faze anymore. He stood up, handed the A4 paper to the small clerk, and strode over. The first-aid ambulance stopped at the triage position. A stretcher trolley was immediately pushed over and placed at the back door of the ambulance at the first moment. The doctor in the ambulance jumped down and followed the procedure as he said simply, "The patients who were transferred from Pengxi Village Hospital for amputation have already undergone thrombectomy. Here are the radiographic films and medical records. By the way, they said that they need to be rushed or there will be complications." As he said that, he handed over a few bags of radiographic films. The bags had numbers on them. The corresponding numbers were on the wristbands of the patients to avoid confusion. The emergency department doctor was a little puzzled but who cared what the frontline did? They just needed to send the wounded to the orthopedics department quickly and wait for surgery. "Let me take a look at the radiographic films," the chief of the emergency department said in a low voice. Then, he took the bag of radiographic films from the junior doctor's hands. "Send the wounded to the orthopedics department first. After I'm done, I'll send the radiographic films over myself." As he spoke, he took the radiographic films to his office. The office was very messy. There was a military coat resting on the sofa. Twenty-six hours ago, the chief had been sleeping there for three hours. That was how much he had slept throughout the entire ordeal. He was very confused. He took the radiographic films out of the bag and glanced at them. They should be the radiographic films for interventional radiography. Did they really conduct the surgery to remove the embolus? Although he did not know much about the surgery to remove the embolus, some simple images were not difficult for him to understand. However...after inserting the radiographic films, he was stunned. These were definitely not normal radiographic films. The position and angle were very tricky. He did not know whether the person cutting the radiographic films was sleepy or trying to use the radiographic films to send a message to the people behind. He couldn't understand... He really couldn't understand. Without hesitation, he took out the second radiographic film and inserted it into the radiographic film viewer. He still couldn't understand it. The third radiographic film viewer was the same. There were only three radiographic films in total and all of them were unconventional. The Chief of the Emergency Department looked at the three radiographic films inserted into the radiographic film viewer and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Which God was this in Pengxi Village? He knew that all the experts and professors from all the disciplines in the country would rush over as soon as they could put their work down. It was said that a random medical staff from the frontline had such a brilliant resume that it made people's jaws drop. He shook his head and took out a sheet of A4 paper from his bag. The handwriting on the paper was somewhat familiar, it seemed to be... He suddenly remembered that there was similar handwriting on the medical record in the plastic bag on the c.h.e.s.t of the first wounded person who was transported out of Nanchuan Town by helicopter. Because the medical records of the other casualties in Pengxi Town were all printed, he was deeply impressed when he saw the written medical record. In hindsight, the diagnosis and recommendations of these medical records were correct. He immediately paid attention to it, took out the glasses case from his pocket to put on his reading
glasses, and began to read it carefully.

  Chapter 714 - Big Spender

  The A4 paper was much better than Nanchuan Town's tissue paper and the writing was also much clearer. Unlike the seriously injured person sent down from Nanchuan Town, the tissue paper was already wet from the rain, and the handwriting was blurry. It looked like a lot of work. This injured person had a t.h.i.g.h-grinding contusion. He underwent a thrombectomy at Pengxi Village Hospital and they had treated the issue of local ischemia. On the paper, there was a simple record of the operation, and the suggestion for amputation was given—to operate as soon as possible, with the guidance of an experienced imaging doctor to assist the orthopedic doctor in amputation. The final note stated that the prosthetic limb would be sent by the German company Otobork and they would be provided with world-class prosthetic limbs. The chief of the emergency department was stunned. Under the current situation, how could he still think about things that were so far away in the future? What he needed now was to save lives and not think about it... But he had done well enough. Not only had he removed the emboli from the blood vessels at the front line, he had also reduced the range of amputations as much as possible and even contacted the German company Otobork, which was the world's number one manufacturer of artificial limbs. "How expensive is this?" The chief of the emergency department clicked his tongue. If it was just one or two, it would not matter. In the past few days, he had seen too many similar injuries. There were elderly, teenage girls, and even children of a few years old. The doctors at the front were thoughtful but he did not know if they would be useful. The emergency department chief knew that he could not understand this silhouette, so he immediately packed up the radiographic films and medical records. He carried the bag of radiographic films and went directly to the operating theater. The Orthopedics Department had already reached the limit of adding beds and this was still the result of the first-aid emergency vehicles at the back and the owners of a large number of private cars constantly transporting the lightly injured people to the other provincial and city hospitals for treatment. The doctors were all busy in the operating theater. Below them, there was only a chief resident who was in charge of post-operative treatment for all the injured patients with the assistance of the other relatively idle physicians. The emergency department chief knew about the situation so he did not go to the ward area. Instead, he went directly to the operating theater outside the hospital. "Old Lu! Are you on stage?!" After entering the main door, he did not change his clothes. Instead, he stood outside and shouted. A nurse stuck her head out, took a look, and said, "I just got off the stage. Let me call him for you." Soon, a doctor wearing an isolation suit rushed over. As he walked, he answered the phone. "Old Sui, what's wrong?" Chief Lu asked. "A patient who needs amputation was just sent from Pengxi Village Hospital with radiographic films and medical records. Take a look," Chief Sui said. Chief Lui was a little surprised. He said to the phone, "I'll call you later." Then, he stuffed his phone into his jacket pocket, took the radiographic films, and started to read them under the incandescent light. The hurried Chief Lu immediately fell silent. He looked at the radiographic films for a minute before he slowly put them down. "You said that this was done in Pengxi Village Hospital?" "Yes, there are medical records sent with it." "The person who performed the embolectomy is an expert. This silhouette shows the network of capillaries and tells me the best location for amputation. At the very least, there must be blood supply from the capillaries in order to reserve the skin flap." Chief Lu immediately took out his phone and dialed a number as he said, "We need the operating theater outside the hospital and are coming over right away. It's urgent." At this moment, all the gossip was described in the simplest words. Otherwise, there would be no time at all. "Chief Lu, what's wrong?" Chief Sui of the emergency department felt a trace of abnormality. "I just received a call from Chief Li of the intervention department. Chief Wu of Shenzhen City asked how his subordinate, Professor Mu, is doing here. I told him that I don't know. It seems that Chief Li said that Professor Mu is in Pengxi Village Hospital." Oh, so that's how it is. The emergency department chief finally understood. If it was really a famous god overseeing the interventional surgery in Pengxi Village Hospital, then it was no wonder. Chief Lu took out another radiographic film and analyzed them with fondness. "Old Lu, how was the embolectomy?" Chief Sui asked. "It was especially good. It was at least an interventional surgery of Chief Li's level," Chief Lu said affirmatively. That was good. It seemed that there was hope for this batch of wounded. Soon, the doorbell of the operating theater rang. Chief Sui opened the door without thinking. Chief Li did not wait for the door to open and entered. He was wearing a white suit and slippers. It was obvious that he had just come down from the stage. "What's the matter? Can't you tell me over the phone?" "What's the hurry?" Chief Li glared at him. "There are a bunch of seriously injured people waiting for surgery on my side. How can I not be in a hurry?" "Take a look at these radiographic films." Chief Lu handed the radiographic films to him. Chief Li of the Department of intervention took the radiographic films and took a look at them. He did not say anything else. This was within Chief Lu's expectations. "This surgery was done beautifully. I reckon that it was done by Elder Wu's disciple, Professor Mu. Therefore, I called you over when I saw it. You can also give Elder Wu an explanation," Chief Lu said. "This surgery..." Chief Li was a little hesitant. "What? It wasn't done well?" "No, it was done too well. Although there were no images during the surgery, why do I feel that I can't do it?" Chief Li simply admitted. At this moment, what face or academic status was not important. Usually, when academic status was in conflict, things that could kill people became insignificant after the flood of seriously injured people washed through. Now, the important thing was to seize every moment to treat the injured. Other than that, everything else could be ignored. "There are medical records here. Chief Li, take a look." Chief Sui of the emergency department took out the A4 paper and said, "Professor Mu said that he has contacted the German company, Otto Bock, to provide prostheses so this surgery can be more unrestrained." The other two were speechless and stunned. Otto Bock? A normal prosthetic limb cost at least 100,000 RMB and that was not even counting one of high quality. A large number of injured people who needed artificial limbs were all going to use Otto Bock products? Wasn't this a joke? But they did not refute. At this moment, everything was said after careful consideration. Very few people would say things that could not be done. "All the patients with pelvic fractures in Pengxi Village Hospital received embolization surgery there. After the surgery, they were sent to a lower-level hospital for anti-shock treatment. The effect of the surgery was very good. You can refer to the data," Chief Sui said conveniently. Chief Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "How many cases were done?" "200 cases." This was undoubtedly a shocking number. "I'll give Chief Wu a call." Chief Li was silent for a few seconds before he picked up his phone and dialed. "Chief Wu, we just received an embolic patient from Pengxi Village. It was done by Professor Mu. Oh, in less than three days, Pengxi Village has completed nearly 200 cases of pelvic fracture interventional embolization. It's said that the patients recovered well after the surgery. Because it was after the surgery, they were not sent to us. You brought a good disciple. "Huh? Impossible? How is it impossible? Professor Mu's level can't be that high? But he was brought up by you alone. Good, good. Don't worry, I will contact him right away. This side is pretty good. You don't have to come over since we have everything under control. Take care of your health."
