The experts from the capital were woken up in the middle of the night, and by the time they finished packing, it was already dawn.
I was vaguely aware of being crammed into a transport plane. Once on board, I recognized several people, and they were all people I knew well.
The team consisted of three experts, four assistants, and three professional nurses.
We don't know where we're going, we only know there's an emergency mission. We're all military medics, so we just need to follow orders and won't ask around. Where are we going, and what are we going to do?
They wouldn't ask these questions, but they all knew in their hearts that an important person needed their emergency care.
The straight-line distance from the capital to Genhe is about 1,300 kilometers.
Genhe has a small airport, which usually handles small aircraft and mainly serves a forest protection function.
Medium-sized passenger planes are not suitable for takeoff and landing; only crude transport planes are not restricted by runways.
The flight took off at 5:30 and arrived in Genhe around 7:00.
The medical team got off the plane with their luggage, and before they could even catch their breath, they were ushered onto a bus.
In the early morning, there are few pedestrians and cars on the road. The driver, relying on his skills, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor and drove along the winding road at the speed of a go-kart, just short of drifting and adding nitro.
One of the assistants and nurses couldn't stand the speed. They endured it on the transport plane, but it was still like this when they landed. They opened their mouths and vomited all over the floor of the carriage.
At Genhe District Hospital, Captain Han, holding the hospital director's hand after he had finished his rounds, waited to welcome the experts from the capital.
The experts arrived at the hospital at 8:20 a.m.
The first to go were not the experts, but the assistants and nurses, who went straight to the nearby tree roots or green belt to vomit.
"This..." The director of Genhe District Hospital looked blankly, actually wanting to ask what was going on.
He then turned to a doctor behind him and said, "Get some water so the comrades can rinse their mouths."
As Captain Han saw the experts get out of the car, he said to the hospital director, "Let me introduce you to the professors from the General Hospital of the Army. This is Professor Li, an orthopedic expert. That is Professor Wang, a cardiopulmonary expert, and that is Professor Sun, a surgical expert."
"Thank you for your hard work," the dean said, extending his hands to greet her.
This is like a great deity coming to a small temple! We couldn't even invite one person, but today three have come.
“It’s not hard work. You woke us up in the middle of the night and traveled a thousand miles, so the illness must be very urgent. Let’s go see the patient first. Tell me about the condition as you walk.” Professor Li said first, and then walked inside.
A large group of people walked into the inpatient department, followed by many doctors in white coats. You'd think someone from higher up had come down for an inspection.
Three experts gathered around Xing Baohua's bed, passing around X-ray images. Professor Li even looked at the 12.7mm warhead.
The conclusion was quickly reached: the bullet did not hit the body armor directly, but passed through an object before striking it.
If it weren't for that object, even if the bulletproof vest had stopped the 12.7mm bullet, the person would have died from internal organ damage due to the kinetic energy.
They simply won't give you the chance to cross the mountains.
According to the X-ray, Xing Baohua's current condition is dangerous. Just as the hospital director said, one of his ribs is broken and dislocated.
If moved, it could easily puncture the lung, causing pneumothorax or hemothorax. In severe cases, it could cause open wounds.
After observation, Xing Baohua showed signs of pneumothorax. Fortunately, it was just pneumothorax; if it had been hemothorax, it would have been much more serious.
Genhe District Hospital is, after all, a county-level hospital, so don't expect its medical equipment to be very advanced.
Upon asking, I discovered that there was even a CT scanner here.
Why do you need an X-ray when you have a CT scan? Get a full-body CT scan right now.
While Xing Baohua was getting a CT scan, the expert from the capital took a short break and chatted with the hospital director, saying that their facility was very advanced and that many municipal medical units did not have CT scanners.
The director of Genhe District Hospital said with a smile, "It's because of the good policies from above that we can buy them with loans and pay in installments. These machines are all Japanese imports."
Captain Han was delighted when he heard this. Wasn't this the same business Xing Baohua had given Nikon to boost its stock price so he could sell his shares in Nikon?
See, an unintentional act saved him.
Xing Baohua's CT scan results came back quickly, and the experts gathered to discuss a treatment plan. A cardiopulmonary specialist, belonging to internal medicine, was not needed at the moment.
After the surgical team and orthopedic specialists completed their medical plan, Professor Sun asked Captain Han, "Who will sign this document?"
Well, nobody dared to sign it, not even Captain Han, so he called his superiors.
Getting Xing Baohua's family to sign the papers now is unrealistic. Even if there were a plane, it would still take a day, and given that Xing Baohua is in a coma with a high fever, no one feels they can wait.
The situation was reported to superiors, explaining the emergency, and then wartime regulations were followed.
With that sentence in mind, medical staff can go all out!
After completing various pre-operative physical examinations and numerous lab reports, according to industry standards, surgery cannot be performed if the patient has a fever, as this would increase post-operative risks.
The fever needs to subside and the inflammation needs to disappear before proceeding. Otherwise, it can easily lead to infection, especially in the lungs, and once infected, the person can easily die.
According to the assessment of cardiopulmonary specialists, the lung infection rate could reach 50%.
Treating the fever caused by the inflammation first, without surgery, is also very difficult.
After careful further consultation, the decision was made to proceed with the surgery, placing the postoperative risks on the cardiopulmonary specialist.
The cardiopulmonary specialist went to the pharmacy to check the medications and found that they were all common drugs.
And this is considered post-operative? There used to be a 50% chance, now there's an 80% chance of post-operative infection.
We discussed with Captain Han whether we could airlift a batch of medicine from the main hospital, including some special drugs.
