Chapter 236 Intense Operation
She began to observe Finness's physical condition more carefully. There were many wounds on her arms that were placed on the quilt, and there was a plaster-like healing item on her elbow.
"Can I uncover it and take a look?" Josh turned around and asked the medical officer.
"Miss Farmer, just be careful. The properties of these ointments are about to dissipate. You can peel them off and I will put on a new one."
With the medical officer's permission, Josh gently peeled off the plaster. The small wound was somewhat shocking, and Josh let out a "hiss".
The medical officer also noticed the condition of the wound and frowned even deeper.
"Captain Finness's wound wasn't like this before. How come it's getting more serious?" She was very puzzled.
The injured area was swollen and red and hot. Qiao Xi touched it gently and felt fluctuations under the skin, as if it was festering.
Is this an infection? How could this be?
Josh had previously discovered that it was common for people in this world to get injured, but very few would get infected. Many operations involved a full-blown bacterial attack, but he had never heard of anyone getting hurt for using unclean things.
Ordinary people are like this, and it is even more wrong for Captain Finness, who is a warrior and a person with special abilities, to behave like this.
Could it be that something has breached her immune system?
"Can you tell me about Lady Finness's previous physical condition?" Josh asked.
Seeing Josh seemed to be in deep thought, the medical officer did not dare to delay and carefully recalled the situation when he met Captain Finness before.
"The army led by Lady Finnies was transferred here from another swamp in the afternoon. It is said that they suffered a heavy blow from the alien beasts there and had a direct conflict with a huge group of alien beasts."
The expeditionary force's main purpose when entering the secret realm is to eliminate the alien beasts. Therefore, when facing the large group of alien beasts that the expedition team has discovered in the early stages, the legion cannot stay away from them when it is time to attack. They have to attack when they are fully prepared.
But it doesn't mean that one won't get hurt if they are well prepared. As the main commander, Finness suffered many injuries in a large-scale head-on conflict with the monsters.
They are not the kind of cowards who hide behind soldiers. Generally speaking, the higher the level, the stronger the attribute energy. As people with high-level abilities, they must lead by example on the battlefield.
Her extra move could cause more damage than ten warriors together, so they couldn't hide or take advantage of this kind of battle.
By the time she arrived at the camp and reported the situation to the legion commander, she was already covered in wounds.
But at that time she was still full of energy and in high spirits, and no one expected that she would fall down in an instant.
No one in the medical team cared at the time. After all, there were many people in the legion who were still alive and kicking even after being stabbed through.
That's what people with special abilities are like, they're not that fragile.
But the situation got worse and worse, and no one knew what was in the bottle of medicine. After listening to the general information, Josh had a small guess in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, people with special abilities like Captain Finness would not fall down easily even if they were badly injured. Their strong physical fitness gave them such confidence.
But after she took the potion, she quickly collapsed and her condition worsened, which meant that the dark potion had completely broken down her immune defenses. The wounds all over her body quickly became infected under the catalysis, turning her into this state in just a few hours.
Septic shock? I don’t know. Josh can only cross the river by feeling the stones and give it a try.
The first thing to do when infected is of course anti-infection treatment, but this is a different world, not the world in her previous life where antibiotics were easily available in clinics of all sizes.
Josh could only gamble that after debridement, cleaning the relatively uncontaminated wound would reduce the burden on Finness's body and allow her powerful immune system, which belonged to a person with special abilities, to start working again.
In fact, it is just to give her supportive treatment. She is now extremely weak. Simply using healing items to heal her wounds will only aggravate the infection and further consume the energy stored in her body, making her body even weaker.
Now let’s find a way to give her some energy.
Qiao Xi thought about it, but couldn't think of any suitable food. Her current condition was much worse than the little bear cub's before, and her teeth were clenched, so whether she could be fed or not was another question.
Seeing Josh's serious expression and some embarrassment, the medical officer asked curiously: "Ms. Farmer, do you have any solution? Please tell us, we will do our best to cooperate with you."
As members of the medical team, they were helpless in the face of such a patient, which was really embarrassing. However, what they were more worried about was the bad news from Captain Finness.
So no matter who it is, as long as they can save Captain Finness, they will not be obstacles or stop them.
"I want to try to clean the wound for Captain Finness. The wound on her body has become infected and festered at an abnormal speed. If you touch it, you can see that there is pus under the swollen skin."
Infection? Septic? The medical officer didn't understand, but she replied immediately: "How can I cooperate with you? What can I do? Do you need me to call an assistant to come along?"
Josh nodded: "I want to give Captain Finness some nutrition before cleaning the wound. She is very weak now and may not be able to withstand long-term cleaning. It will be very painful."
Nutrition. The medical officer looked at the unconscious Captain Finness and his mind raced. They had tried many kinds of nutrient solutions and even life potions before, but none of them worked. The medicine overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"I fed her before, but Captain Finness had no consciousness of swallowing and she choked accidentally, so I didn't feed her much." The medical officer also blamed himself very much.
Can't feed it? Qiao Xi asked himself in his heart, what should I do?
Got it!
all
The collecting team was indeed knowledgeable. The plant, which looked like a long soft straw, instantly grew several times longer under the team's stimulation.
After lubricating the front end with glycerin, she began to try the first gastric tube insertion in the other world.
Griffith and others also came after hearing the news. He was a little surprised to see Josh's actions, but looking at Finneas' gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Maybe it would work. It was much better than watching Finneas slowly lose her life.
Put Finnies in a supine position without a pillow, and Josh, wearing clean waterproof gloves, began to slowly move in. Very good, there was a little obstruction, but it didn't matter, he would try again.
This time it's okay, move forward slowly and reach the distance measured in advance.
Josh secured the tube with tape and began testing whether it was inside the stomach.
Fortunately, the medical team had a small prop similar to a syringe for experimental use, which could be used to pump the air. They took food with the property of improving hearing and listened to the sound of air passing through water.
Okay, that's good.
Here's another method. Josh put the end of the tube into a cup of water. There were no bubbles, so he was good to proceed to the next step.
The precious life potion mixed with the attribute honey and nutrient solution was poured into the stomach, and Josh began to clean the wound in a hurry.
