Counting down, every day feels like a year. This is the psychological portrayal of many people waiting for the ambulance to arrive at the disaster site.
There is no excuse for stopping the treatment of the injured on the scene before the ambulance arrives.
Not to mention waiting for an ambulance, some of the injured didn't even have time to wait for sunrise.
At around four or five in the morning, before the sun rose over the mountains, an injured person at the makeshift rescue site where Dr. Xie Wanying and her team were working suddenly suffered from respiratory and heart failure.
There were no air bags at the scene, so the doctors could only perform the simplest cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the injured.
When rescuing patients, the most powerful weapon for frontline clinicians to fight against death is medicine. This is to repeat what I said before, surgery and other strategies are not as good as medicine, and only medicine can play the best positive effect.
To be precise, it is intravenous medication, which can reach the target of treatment the fastest. Doctor Xie Wanying and her colleagues came to provide free medical services to the villagers on a daily basis, not to carry out disaster rescue, so it is impossible for them to bring any rescue drugs.
This may be the reason why Dr. Gu Hongnian rushed back without hesitation and tried to get some medical supplies from the village clinic that had not collapsed at that time. Unfortunately, when the tragic disaster struck, there was no intention to give the lives a way out.
Dr. Gu Hongnian not only failed to get the medicine, but also fell into the outstretched hands of death.
...
...
Except for the doctor who was performing CPR on the patient, other doctors lowered their heads and used the weak light of flashlights to recheck all the medicines they could collect, hoping to find one that could be used to rescue the injured.
The surviving villagers were standing on the periphery watching, and they could quickly read some information from the doctor's lip language and facial expressions, and they all looked panicked.
Is there no medicine at all?
Although there is no doctor in the clinic in the next village, the clinic in the village still exists, and that clinic survived half of the disaster here. This is the source of the only manual blood pressure monitor that the doctors now have.
The neighboring village then sent all the remaining medical supplies they could find to the temporary rescue facility where Dr. Xie and his team were.
Immediately, a quarrel broke out at the scene: We need medicine, but this medicine is from our village, not yours. People from your village should go find the medicine themselves.
Someone in our family is dying and needs medicine. If we have any surplus, we will definitely give it to you. How can we give it to you when we don’t have any left?
Can you say that human nature is selfish at this moment?
It is highly likely that no one can give the most fair answer.
This is the source of the scramble for supplies during a disaster. Everyone wants to live and no one wants their family members to die.
During the quarrel, some villagers collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
Every time a dispute occurs, it is a moment when everyone feels under tremendous pressure and is about to explode.
The village cadres understood the situation and kept persuading everyone: Let the doctor decide. We are not professionals and don’t understand, so we should just trust the doctor.
Unfortunately, the blow suffered by the villagers this time was not a small one.
First of all, the earthquake came too quickly and no one notified or took precautions in advance. In addition, the impact range was large and the number of casualties exceeded the psychological limits of all local people for earthquake disasters.
Everyone was filled with resentment, and everyone wanted to take revenge on someone, but after all, it was impossible to take revenge on God.
Some emotional villagers surrounded the village cadres and asked: "You said this is not allowed and that is not allowed, what should we do? Are you asking us to die?"
