A relatively flat and safe area in the village has become a centralized storage location for the injured.
Dr. Xie Wanying and her group returned and followed Dr. Zhao Zhaowei to the village clinic.
The village clinic is at the other end, and the walking route runs almost through the entire village. Along the way, Dr. Xie and his colleagues witnessed the collapsed village houses one after another, which was even more shocking than the scenes they had experienced before.
It should be said that both teams are lucky.
The natural disaster occurred in the morning. Most of the adults in the village were out working on the farm, and the ones left at home were mostly the elderly, children, women and children.
When the house collapses, it is most inevitable if there are people inside the house.
As for the remaining human disasters, some, such as Dr. Gu Hongnian, did not hear or did hear the calls not to return to the house, but had to return to the house for some special reasons.
For example, some people who were doing housework in the yard and left their children inside the house would rush back into the house to save their children out of blood ties when they saw the earthquake.
This resulted in some houses that appeared to be slightly more earthquake-resistant, such as the village clinic, surviving the first wave of disaster, but collapsing when the second wave came, taking the lives of these kind-hearted people.
...
...
The ruthlessness of natural disasters can only be fully appreciated through personal experience.
The villagers who ran back home from the farmland cried and used their bare hands to dig for their parents and children in the rubble. After digging for almost a day, only a few were able to dig out life in time. Most of the time, they either couldn't dig out anything, or they didn't dare to dig, or what they dug out was a corpse.
The number of casualties caused by an earthquake is like human diseases. With the passage of time, it develops to a peak, stabilizes to a certain number after all treatments, and then returns to the normal state of daily life.
There will inevitably be a period of extreme pain during this period.
Therefore, when an earthquake occurs, it is unscientific for those who survive to infer that the natural disaster was not as terrible as they imagined based on their own survival. Until the above process occurs, people's psychology will be crushed again and again, forming a deep mark, which is what we often call post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD in the previous article.
Doctor Shen Xifei, who had finally stood up, was shivering as he walked, and his legs were shaking, making it difficult for him to stand. When he heard the loud noise, he jumped like a frightened bird.
There was a loud scream from the crowd, confirming that another house had collapsed.
Houses that are not built with a good earthquake-proof foundation are unlikely to survive a major earthquake. Every such house will be wrapped in death. This is why only a few houses collapsed at the beginning of the earthquake, but now more than half of the village's houses have collapsed.
Those who have not experienced it are learning the most horrible and profound lesson in life.
Doctor Xiao Yang, who vomited once on the spot, waved his hands and said it was okay, but everyone could see that his face had turned pale again. It was unclear whether there were other injuries inside the body but they were not detected at first.
Other colleagues urged Dr. Xiao Yang to lie down and rest.
The village temporarily arranged a flat and relatively safe area to treat the wounded, which can be called a temporary rescue site.
When we arrived in front of the village clinic, we saw this piece of land. It was a very simple first aid site. Many of the wounded lying on the ground didn't even have a blanket to cover them.
Regardless of whether the weather is cooling down or not, patients with blood loss have a lower body temperature than normal people and need to be kept warm.
Just like now, everyone was helping Dr. Xiao Yang lie down, his body was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Dr. Zhao asked someone to look for any heating supplies.
Everyone first met Doctor Duan Sanbao who was treating the wounded on the scene.
Doctor Duan Sanbao, a Buddhist, has long ceased to be a Buddhist. Now is a life-saving moment and he has no time to chant sutras. He just lowered his head and worked hard to bandage the wounds of the wounded.
When Dr. Duan Sanbao heard Dr. Zhao Zhaowei's voice, he raised his head and a look of displeasure appeared on his face: Where have you been? Didn't you see that I was so busy that my legs were cramping?
Doctor Zhao Zhaowei pointed his lips at the other party.
Doctor Duan Sanbao looked over again and saw Doctor Xie and the others. At that moment, his eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up like Doctor Shen Xifei.
