"This one is fine, it's farther away from the heart. This one is actually closer to the victim's heart." Xie Wanying pointed at the direction of the two steel bars to make a judgment.
The meaning of this statement is that, although it seems scary to insert a knife into the victim's chest from the front, it is actually not as dangerous as the steel bar inserted from the side of the chest wall under the armpit.
Sometimes the most dangerous things to the human body are like the tip of an iceberg above the sea level and are not fully visible to doctors.
Others observe her judgment.
The visibility at the scene was poor, and after the steel bars were embedded in the human body, it was impossible for the doctor's eyes to transform into a CT or X-ray machine, so Dr. Liu did not think he could see it.
This is the reason why Dr. Liu called 120 and hoped to send a specialist to provide support: the exposed part of the steel bar was too long and needed to be cut on the spot before the injured person could be moved to the ambulance.
When cutting steel bars, one is afraid that the steel bars may vibrate the patient's heart and cause death. The victim's heart rate at that moment is terrifying to hear.
Putting on the stethoscope earplugs she carried with her, Xie Wanying quickly placed the stethoscope head on the injured person's chest and listened again.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" asked a worker standing nearby. "He's my cousin. He got married last year and his wife is pregnant back home. I brought him out to work. Things happened so fast that I didn't have time to call his family."
...
...
Unable to afford death is a common story among migrant workers. Since migrant workers bear the financial burden of their families, once they encounter misfortune, the whole family will be ruined.
The patient's uncle who was speaking had red eyes and was about to cry. He wiped his eyes with his hands and waited anxiously for the doctor to say that everything was fine.
No doctor dared to say that such a seriously injured person was fine. Doctor Liu turned his back and sighed, not wanting to upset the family members.
"There's a chance." Xie Wanying said.
The others turned to look at her.
Don’t think that the family members just shouted to the doctor to save the patient. If the doctor can’t give a reasonable explanation, the patient’s family members will not feel comforted. They are afraid that the doctor is fooling him. The patient’s uncle was angry: “Really?”
"The steel bar with its head close to the heart is stuck between the ribs and is tightly held by the ligaments between the ribs. If it gets sheared, it will not cause major secondary damage," Xie Wanying pointed out.
The patient's family members immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not understand the doctor's professional terms, as long as the doctor spoke clearly and explained, he was not talking nonsense.
Doctor Liu tilted his head. Without an X-ray machine on site, he really couldn't see it.
"Prepare to cut the steel bars." After making the judgment, Xie Wanying gave the order.
The workers hurried to find hydraulic shears.
Soon the hydraulic shears were brought in. The workers looked at each other, but no one dared to take action.
When it comes to cutting steel bars for the injured, they are definitely not professional because they have never done it before. The professionals are the firefighters.
Several workers were angry: they asked someone to call not only 120 but also 119 and the police 110, but no one came.
Mobile phones were relatively expensive in those days and were not widely used in China. Migrant workers working on construction sites were reluctant to spend money on mobile phones. If something went wrong, they had to ask the construction site management to make a phone call.
When people were complaining, the management arrived late.
"Manager Wang." The security guard followed the company leader and reported, "They opened the iron door themselves and wanted to hit me."
Manager Wang noticed that the workers had strange expressions, so he turned around and criticized the security guard: "Who told you to stop the ambulance to save people?"
Didn't you let me? The security guard was almost suffocating.
"Don't worry, Lao Chen. The doctor is here. Let's see if there is any way to save Xiao Chen."
