She lifted his eyelids to check his pupils' reaction, checked his pulse, and finally checked the injuries on his legs. Bai Yalan made a quick decision, "He's seriously injured. Surgery is necessary immediately!"
Fu Yunzheng met her gaze and immediately pointed in a direction. "Over there, our people have already requisitioned a nearby house as a temporary clinic."
"Okay! Let's go over there right now. He is seriously injured and needs surgery as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will get infected and it will be troublesome!" Bai Yalan said hurriedly.
Fu Yunzheng waved his hand, "Okay, then you all go over together first, hurry up!"
Two soldiers carrying a stretcher responded and immediately trotted towards the temporarily requisitioned clinic. Bai Yalan followed closely beside the stretcher, never leaving its side, keeping a close eye on the condition of the injured.
Fu Yunzheng watched her leave with a glint of admiration in his eyes.
Bai Yalan was a few years younger than him. She was so young and a girl. It was her first time seeing such a scene, but she could remain so calm and not show any fear at all.
Such courage and calmness are truly admirable.
However, he did not think any more about it, as the current situation was more serious than he had imagined.
Fu Yunzheng quickly collected his thoughts and led the soldiers to the rescue center and continued to devote himself to the rescue work at hand.
There are still many civilians trapped under the collapsed houses, and they must be rescued as soon as possible.
The sky is gray and cloudy, and it will be even more troublesome if it starts to rain later.
The rescue team was busy all the time. Fu Yunzheng's eyes were determined as he calmly and carefully surveyed the surrounding environment.
Finally, he stood at a high point on the scene, and even though he was hoarse, he tried to raise his voice as loudly as possible, directing and arranging every step of the rescue.
"Zhang Sheng, take three men and go around from that side. Dig this passage for me! Lin Dayou, you and your men will be responsible for keeping a close watch on this area to prevent a second collapse in the excavated area... Wang Guojun, have someone bring a stretcher over here immediately. As soon as the wounded are rescued here, send them to the temporary clinic over there... Chen Weizhong, you immediately..."
"yes!"
"It's the battalion commander!"
"I'm sorry, Battalion Commander!"
The soldiers who were named responded one after another, without even taking a breath, and quickly followed the instructions and threw themselves into the urgent and busy rescue work.
Meanwhile, in the makeshift clinic, where many wounded were already present, everyone was busy yet working in a tense and orderly manner.
Bai Yalan followed the injured person on the stretcher in and placed him in the designated position as required. Then, a middle-aged male doctor wearing a white coat with the words "Town Health Center" printed in bright red came over. He was obviously a doctor temporarily transferred from a nearby town health center.
After taking a quick look at the condition of the wounded sent here, he was shocked, "How could this person be injured so seriously!"
"Yes, judging by the injury, it must have been broken by the collapsed brick wall!" Bai Yalan didn't waste any words and simply answered.
The middle-aged male doctor looked at her in surprise, his eyes falling on the nameplate on her chest. Only then did he realize that this young female comrade was actually a junior military doctor.
He nodded, "Your judgment is correct, his injury is too serious..."
"Yes, surgery must be performed as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of infection."
Without even looking up, Bai Yalan set down the first aid kit and quickly, adapting to the situation, began preoperative preparations. She then called the medical staff at the clinic, "The patient's legs are severely fractured. Initial diagnosis is that the broken bones have penetrated the skin, causing a mixture of blood and flesh. Immediate surgery is required to prevent viral infection. I need an assistant!"
As she spoke, she looked at the other person.
The middle-aged male doctor looked at her in surprise, "Performing surgery here? Are you sure?"
Bai Yalan glanced at him with an extremely firm look in her eyes, "I'm sure!"
After that, he continued to prepare for the operation without stopping. Washing and disinfecting hands, putting on masks and gloves, etc.
"Comrade, although you're young, I have faith in your abilities as a military medical intern. But I must remind you..." Seeing her attitude, the other party knew she was serious, so he had to remind her, "This is a temporary clinic in a requisitioned civilian building. Medical facilities are limited. With his injuries, I'm afraid surgery here isn't suitable. He must be transported to a hospital with better facilities as soon as possible."
In response, Bai Yalan only asked, "How close is the nearest hospital to here?"
"If you drive fast, it'll take about half an hour!"
"Okay, it'll take another half an hour to drive over, and another ten minutes waiting for the patient to be transported to the operating room! And we can't rule out the possibility of secondary infection of the wound on the way." Bai Yalan spoke quickly, looking into the other person's eyes and emphasizing, "The patient can't wait any longer!"
“But…” The doctor was not young anymore. Although he was only a doctor at a township clinic, based on his experience, the patient’s condition was indeed not optimistic.
"No buts, start the surgery right away!" Bai Yalan only said this once, and then repeated again: "I need an assistant!"
