Chapter 247 Du Ruoxia suddenly faints

Du Ruoxia was so engrossed in her treatment that she was completely oblivious to the passage of time.

Du Ruoxia had some millet porridge in the morning and didn't eat anything at noon. Now that it was afternoon, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her stomach started growling loudly.

Du Ruoxia was so nervous that she was sweating profusely.

She opened the operating room door, took only one step forward, and felt as if her feet were filled with lead.

She took a step forward, and her mind went completely blank.

She hadn't felt this weak in a very, very long time.

The last time she was this weak was before she died.

She had just finished surgery on a patient and had been working continuously for more than 30 hours, so her mental state was extremely poor.

The moment she put down the scalpel, her mind completely collapsed, and her body slumped uncontrollably.

I feel the same way I did back then: weak, tired, hungry, and a barrage of negative emotions.

Du Ruoxia felt like she was about to faint, and what made her most desperate was...

Today's treatment is just the beginning.

While she was feeling dizzy, weak, and powerless, another group of patients who had been shot were brought in.

This time, even more people were brought in, and they were more seriously injured.

The people who were just brought in were screaming in pain, and some even cried out.

The group, who had just finished treating all the patients and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, panicked again when they saw the current situation.

They panicked completely, and a deep sense of despair washed over them.

They worked continuously for nine hours without eating, drinking, or even going to the toilet.

I thought I could leave work smoothly, but before I could even catch my breath, more patients poured in.

The horrific state of these soldiers was truly appalling.

The three military doctors all looked over, waiting for Du Ruoxia's orders.

Du Ruoxia looked at everyone in silence, trying her best to suppress her physical discomfort.

She tightened her grip on the door frame, feeling immense pressure.

Du Ruoxia steadied herself and straightened her back again.

"Everyone is tired after working so hard for so long. With more and more patients, we must persevere no matter how tired we are."

"Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhang, you go get some water and use the restroom first. When you come back, it will be Dr. Liu's and my turn."

"I will notify the soldiers in the unit to bring the food over, and we will take turns eating and resting in a while."

"With more and more patients, and our bodies not being made of iron, if we keep going without eating or drinking, the situation will only get worse."

Du Ruoxia quickly made arrangements, which calmed everyone down a bit.

Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhang quietly sat down at their seats, drank some water, and then went to the restroom.

Du Ruoxia asked the soldiers to get them food from the canteen.

"Everyone's appetite isn't very good, so the food should be a little lighter and the variety of dishes should be more plentiful."

Du Ruoxia made a simple request, and the soldiers who were originally staying in the infirmary to take care of the wounded immediately went to do so.

Du Ruoxia categorized the patients who were brought in, and the critically ill patients were still handed over to her.

The patients with minor injuries were handed over to Dr. Wu, while Dr. Liu and Dr. Zhang handled the remaining patients.

When Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhang returned, Du Ruoxia and Dr. Liu quickly went to get water and use the restroom.

After a short rest, everyone's spirits improved considerably.

However, their hunger still affected their speed.

Fortunately, at this time, the army cook personally delivered the meal.

Completely in accordance with Du Ruoxia's request, the food was light and delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that easily whetted one's appetite.

In addition to these dishes, there was even seafood soup.

After finishing her treatment of the patients, Du Ruoxia immediately went to eat without saying a word.

She had just experienced low blood sugar and was already at her limit.

Only by eating can one be fully revitalized.

"Everyone, come and eat after you've finished treating your patients."

"Saving lives is important, but health is the foundation of everything. We've all been working for more than ten hours straight. If we don't eat soon, even the strongest body won't be able to hold on."

Du Ruoxia picked up a lunchbox, filled it with some of her favorite dishes, and began to wolf it down.

She usually eats very politely, habitually chewing slowly, but now that time is of the essence, she can't care about that at all.

Du Ruoxia finished half a box of rice in just 6 minutes, and then quickly gulped down a bowl of soup.

She ate too fast; the food she had just swallowed hadn't even reached her stomach yet.

Although she felt that she had eaten enough, her stomach still felt empty.

Du Ruoxia returned to her job, and this time her mental state was much better, and even her speed in treating and saving lives was much faster.

Next, Dr. Wu went to eat. Although Du Ruoxia did not arrange who ate first or last, they still lined up in an orderly manner.

After everyone finished their meal, they all felt much better.

They had initially seen so many patients looking worried and distressed, but now they suddenly seemed calm.

If Dr. Du, a young woman, can handle it, what can't they, grown men, handle?

In addition to these patients, another batch of patients was sent over in the middle of the night.

By this time, everyone was already numb. They only raised their eyelids to glance at it briefly before throwing themselves back into their work.

This treatment was very long, so long that they had to work without sleep.

Du Ruoxia finished treating all the critically ill patients at 1 p.m. on the second day.

Fortunately, I ate a nutritious meal last night, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been so full until now.

After treating the last critically ill patient, Du Ruoxia collapsed onto the operating table.

Although she is young, this kind of surgery is really mentally and physically exhausting.

She had worked for more than 20 consecutive hours, which was not far from the 30-plus hours she had worked before her sudden death.

Du Ruoxia was already at her breaking point when she performed her last surgery.

My hands were shaking uncontrollably, and my body was swaying uncontrollably.

Her head started to spin, and she had already shown signs of fainting.

But the surgery wasn't over, and she knew she couldn't stop.

Du Ruoxia bit her tongue to force herself through the surgery.

After saving the soldiers, she herself collapsed.

Du Ruoxia collapsed very suddenly; no one even saw it.

It wasn't until everyone heard a loud bang that they came to their senses.

Liu Wang was the first to notice; he dropped the patient he was holding, shouted, and rushed over.

"Dr. Du! Dr. Du! Dr. Du, what's wrong with you!"

Liu Wang was terrified. He rushed to Du Ruoxia and quickly helped her up.

Du Ruoxia fainted suddenly, her body falling straight forward.

Fortunately, she managed to grab a pillow and place it in front of her before collapsing.

Although he fell face down, he was not seriously injured.

When Liu Wang helped her up, Du Ruoxia was still unconscious.

She was fully conscious, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did.

Her mind was very heavy, and in the midst of the confusion, she heard many people calling her name.

"Dr. Du, Dr. Du, Dr. Du, wake up!"
