Old Mrs. He regretted more than once today why she took her granddaughter along this road. In the past, she and the old man always took her granddaughter home directly from another quieter alley. But today, her granddaughter said she wanted to buy star candy. She thought that since she wanted to buy candy, she could go to the big supermarket here.
But in fact, there was a small supermarket not far from the alley that had the same star candy, but the candy in that small supermarket was a bit expensive, so she wanted to take a detour to the big supermarket.
"If I hadn't thought about the two dollars... would this not have happened today?..."
Old Mrs. He's eyes were red with regret. She looked at her granddaughter lying on the asphalt road with her clothes soaked in blood, and then glanced at her husband who was walking towards them with gritted teeth supported by two kind passers-by not far away. Tears rolled down her cheeks and her body shook like a candle in the wind.
"Grandma, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? You just had a car accident. It seems that nothing happened now, but you never know what went wrong. If something happens to you, who will take care of the children later?" The person who supported Grandma He was a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. There was some anxiety in the girl's eyes.
In the car accident just now, the old lady was hit into the green belt next to her. Although the plants in the green belt can provide a certain degree of protection and help the old lady block some of the force, car accidents are often not just superficial. The girl was worried that Mrs. He was old and had some health problems caused by the collision.
"No, I want to wait for Xiangxiang here..." Old Mrs. He's voice was dry and she shook her head instinctively, looking very stubborn.
How could Mrs. He have the mood to sit beside her granddaughter, who was injured and bleeding? Even though her body was covered with bruises, the old lady just wanted to stand here and look at her granddaughter.
Someone nearby sighed, patted the girl on the shoulder and told her not to persuade him anymore, and said to Mrs. He, "Grandma, give me your phone, I'll call your son and daughter-in-law. You old ones can handle things for the young ones, but you can't handle things here."
"My son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident a few years ago..." Old Mrs. He shook her head, her expression full of sadness.
Everyone around was stunned. They didn't expect that the family of three in front of them, old and young, had all gotten into a car accident. This was really too unlucky.
The stagnant atmosphere made no one around mention this matter to Old Lady He anymore. Only a group of people kept comforting the old lady and also helped the equally stubborn old man to their side.
The little girl's fragrant breathing became more and more rapid as she lost blood. Her pale complexion gradually turned into a blue-gray skin. Beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead. The girl's rapid breathing was shallow and fast, as if she was a butterfly that had broken into pieces in the air, flapping its wings for the last time in its life. It seemed that in the next second, this fragile butterfly would fall directly from a height of a hundred feet...
Seeing that Xiangxiang's life seemed to be coming to an end, the old man and the old woman, who were supported by three people, almost fainted on the spot.
Old Mrs. He burst into tears: "Xiangxiang, grandma's Xiangxiang...ah..."
The broken cry was squeezed out of shape by her throat, and Mrs. He pounded her fists hard on her chest. If it weren't for the two or three passers-by who stopped the old lady's movements, dragged and hugged her, Mrs. He would have almost fallen on the little girl on the spot.
"You can't do this, old lady. You can't do this... the doctor is still trying to save the patient!"
"Yes, grandma, you have to be strong, maybe it will be useful, maybe it will still be useful!"
Several passers-by tried to persuade the old lady to calm her down.
The old lady is already quite old, and she is prone to having problems when excited. In addition, she had just been in a car accident, which made the situation even more dangerous.
However, Old Lady He shook her head in pain, tears blurring her cheeks. She slapped her thighs, her voice sounding like an azalea crying blood: "What's the use? What's the use..."
This is how her son and daughter-in-law died. Her son's chest was pierced by external force and he died of shock due to blood loss on the spot.
It seemed that the granddaughter would soon follow her son into the world.
The old man and old woman who came hurriedly hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made many onlookers nearby burst into tears as well.
Although they had never heard of Chinese medicine emergency hemostasis and they were a little distrustful of the young and young-looking doctor, they had no better solution for the child lying in a pool of blood with a metal plate stuck in his chest.
If there is bleeding from a wound or broken limb, you can use a bandage to tighten the upper part of the wound to stop the bleeding. But if there is bleeding in the chest cavity, do you want them to use a rope to strangle the neck?
A group of passers-by were like ants on a hot pot, anxious and worried.
Someone saw a middle-aged doctor wearing glasses nearby, who had already bandaged the amputated patient to stop the bleeding, and quickly pulled the patient over.
"Doctor, doctor! Come and take a look at this girl! She's bleeding a lot, please take a look at her!"
The man dragged the middle-aged doctor as he spoke, very anxiously.
The middle-aged doctor did not dare to delay and quickly followed the man to the little girl Xiangxiang.
At this time, the little girl was lying on the ground, with forty or fifty silver needles stuck in her body, and metal fragments stuck in her chest, staining her chest red. A lot of blood stained the ground red. Her face was blue-gray, and even her lips were bloodless. It was obvious that she was breathing more in than out...
"What are you doing?! The child is in shock due to chest trauma. He needs to move to a concave seat immediately. How can you let the child lie on the ground?" The middle-aged doctor looked grim and tried to push Su Tang away.
In his heart, he cursed Su Tang. How dare a TCM apprentice who came from nowhere to perform emergency rescue so casually? Didn't this person ever learn emergency rescue in school? !
The child in front of him obviously had a head injury, a broken left hand, and an obvious open wound on his left chest, accompanied by massive bleeding and shock.
According to the principles of emergency rescue, they must first deal with chest trauma, which poses the greatest threat to life. They should adopt a concave lying position and raise the head, upper limbs and lower limbs to reduce venous return in the lower limbs and increase blood return to the heart. This is one of the best ways to deal with shock caused by chest trauma.
And the man in front of me kept the little girl lying on the ground from beginning to end. How could this be possible?
The little girl had to be quickly put into a lying position to treat her shock.
Especially when he felt the little girl's pulse which was almost weak and undetectable, he became extremely angry and his face looked so ugly that water seemed to drip out of it.
However, just as the middle-aged doctor stretched out his hand, it was grabbed by Su Tang. Her eyes, which were always smiling in the past, narrowed dangerously into a thin line.
Su Tang held the needle in one hand and grabbed the person with the other. Her voice was as cold as if it was mixed with ice chips: "Don't mess around here. There are still two last shots before you can change to a lying position."
It’s not that Su Tang doesn’t want to change to a better concave lying position to deal with shock.
Rather, it is more important to use acupuncture to directly treat shock, stop bleeding, and stimulate blood pressure recovery than to use body positions to relieve symptoms.
After all, one is for relief and the other is for treatment. If you have to choose one of the two, Su Tang will naturally give priority to the latter.
"What are the last two injections?" The middle-aged doctor was slightly stunned when his wrist was grabbed by Su Tang.
However, it was precisely because of this moment of distraction that Su Tang's men moved extremely quickly.
Swish! Swish!
The last two needles were inserted in two strokes, one in the Baihui point and the other in the Shangxing point. It took only about ten seconds to complete the two needles.
As Su Tang finished the last injection——
The little girl's originally rapid breathing slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally irritable appearance also improved significantly. The middle-aged doctor was shocked and even thought he was hallucinating.
How come a mere injection can have such a significant relief effect?
"Hurry up and change her lying position. Be careful not to let the silver needles on her body touch her casually." Su Tang raised the back of her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. The blood from the little girl's body on her fingertips rubbed onto her face, but she was not moved.
Su Tang was really tired. Even though she had done the injection very quickly, in fact, she had reached her ultimate speed. She first used the flat tonic and flattening technique, and then used the Shaoshanhuo Acupuncture to forcibly stimulate the acupuncture points. To raise blood pressure, even though the little girl only has fifty-six silver needles inserted into her body now, the needles need to be twisted thousands of times. Many acupuncture points need to be twisted back and forth at least a hundred times to achieve the desired effect through repeated stimulation. Effect.
The middle-aged doctor looked at Su Tang suspiciously, then looked at the little girl lying on the ground, and saw that the little girl was indeed in better condition than when he had just seen her.
He immediately called on passers-by to help change the little girl's lying position, and he reached out to feel the little girl's pulse again. Unlike massive external bleeding, hemothorax often has the most serious bleeding inside the chest cavity.
The blood accumulation in the chest cavity cannot be seen or felt by the naked eye, so it can only be judged by rough methods:
One is drainage and thoracotomy.
The second is routine medical imaging and so on.
The third is to observe the other person's breathing, vital signs, pulse, etc.
Now, the first two are of course impossible, but the third one...
The middle-aged doctor frowned and carefully touched the little girl's pulse again. The child's pulse was almost undetectable just now, making him think that the child would die in the next second as her pulse disappeared.
But now...
The middle-aged doctor's eyes widened in disbelief.
If the pulse just now was so weak that it would break if a hair was pulled, then the pulse strength now was at least 10 times stronger than before! Even though it was still terribly weak compared to a normal person, it was much, much stronger than before.
This is not scientific, it is not logical, it is not reasonable!
How could such a strange thing happen?!
I could clearly feel the child's pulse just now and it was almost dying! How could a single injection cause such a big change?
Most importantly, the wound on the little girl's chest has stopped bleeding.
The middle-aged doctor was completely confused and shocked, and his slightly bald head was full of various question marks.
Is Chinese medicine and acupuncture so powerful nowadays?
Why didn't he think those guys from the Chinese Medicine Hospital were so amazing when he had meetings and discussions with them before?
…
The onlookers had all focused their attention on the little girl. When they saw that her condition had improved slightly, they were like detectives with magnifying glasses, and they discovered clues one by one.
"Hey, do you think the child's complexion is better than before? It was blue-gray before, but now it seems to be slowly turning white and not as dark anymore?"
"Why do I feel that her pure color seems to have become a little rosier?"
"Is the blood in the child's chest no longer flowing? It was bleeding continuously before, but now it seems to have stopped... This female doctor is amazing! She looks so small, but I didn't expect that she has real skills."
The passers-by, who were originally worried and apprehensive, were silent for a moment before they all started talking at once.
They exclaimed in amazement at the change in the little girl. They had previously thought that the child who had just been rescued from under the wheel would die, but now it seemed that there was still a chance to rescue her.
The driver of the white car wiped the blood dripping from his eyelashes, grabbed the arm of the middle-aged man next to him and pulled it frantically, stammering: "I, I am not mistaken... The blood on the child's wound has stopped, right? Does this mean that the child will be able to come back soon?"
"Yes, it has stopped..." The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and felt equally unbelievable.
He originally thought that the child could not be saved, and was even afraid that he would die from excessive blood loss before the ambulance even arrived.
I didn't expect that there seems to be a turnaround now?
Compared to the disbelief and surprise of the white car driver and the middle-aged man, Mrs. He and Mr. He were filled with joy. Mrs. He grabbed Mr. He's arm, crying and laughing: "That's great! It's great that the bleeding can be stopped! It's great that the bleeding can be stopped!"
For the patient's family, just being able to hold on to a little bit of hope will make them happy to the point of tears.
Seeing the wound on the little girl's chest that stopped bleeding without anyone pressing on it, the middle-aged doctor wanted to ask Su Tang what on earth was going on with her acupuncture.
How come it's so amazing?!
Before the middle-aged doctor could finish his sentence, the noisy sound of sirens nearby came closer and closer, quickly arriving at the scene.
Police, traffic police and ambulances arrived at the scene almost at the same time. The hospital was closest and had the most ambulances.
The Sixth Hospital was only two or three kilometers away from the scene of the incident, so all the idle ambulances were naturally sent there first. The staff in the ambulances carried stretchers and first aid kits and rushed to the most seriously injured people first. Among them, three people rushed directly in the direction of the little girl.
When the paramedic saw the little girl with a pale face, in shock and covered in blood, he immediately said to another paramedic beside him with a serious expression: "The patient is in shock due to massive chest bleeding. Hurry up and use the emergency equipment."
"What's up with the silver needle in this child's body? Who inserted it? Pull it out quickly. It's delaying our first aid. Isn't this harming people?!" Another paramedic frowned and stretched out his hand to pull out the silver needle. Another paramedic quickly reached out to help.
But the two paramedics had just stretched out their hands halfway when a middle-aged doctor with a slightly bald head stretched out his two hands, tightly grasped their arms, and said in a stern tone: "Are you from the emergency department of the Sixth Hospital? I am Lei Tao, the director of the general surgery department. This silver needle cannot be removed. The child's bleeding has just stopped. If it is removed, she will definitely explode immediately. Hurry up and give her a ventilator and blood substitute, and send her back to the hospital for surgery!"
Their hospital ambulance does not have the ability to test blood types or perform blood matching experiments.
Therefore, in this case, plasma can only be used to replace blood volume.
The three paramedics looked at each other. The oldest doctor among them was a mid-level attending physician. Facing the senior doctor, he hesitated for only a moment and then nodded to follow the other's opinion.
They had come in a hurry before and did not recognize that the person in front of them was the director of general surgery. Now that he named his identity, they realized it was indeed him.
After all, I have been trained in general internal medicine for a period of time.
The leading paramedic nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, then we'll listen to Director Lei! Hurry up and give this child some blood plasma."
The emergency rescue was quick, oxygen and plasma were delivered simultaneously, and the little girl's condition immediately improved again, and even her breathing became smoother.
Su Tang stood aside and looked at the middle-aged doctor in surprise. She thought that he would ask the doctor to remove the silver needle like the paramedics at the emergency center, but she didn't expect that he would stand up and speak for her at the first time.
Don't think it's just a sentence, in fact the other party also needs to take responsibility.
Even as a senior doctor, if he had asked this question, he would be held more responsible than her if anything went wrong.
"What are you looking at?! This silver needle must be removed during the operation. Which hospital's Chinese medicine department are you from? Tell me quickly how to remove this silver needle." Director Lei, just like his name, speaks sharply and swiftly. It seems that he intends to go back with the ambulance to perform rescue on the operating table.
"Of these fifty-six silver needles, thirty-eight are used to treat shock and raise blood pressure. The other fourteen are used to stop bleeding. When you perform hemothorax puncture, you must enter from this area on the left side."
Su Tang pointed at the 7th to 9th intercostal space on the mid-axillary line of the little girl Xiangxiang and said calmly, "So don't remove the silver needles used to stop bleeding at these five acupuncture points for the time being. Keep them until at least tomorrow morning. You can directly remove the remaining fifty-one needles. Although the blood pressure will drop after removal, the chest cavity will bleed again, but the amount of bleeding will not be much. It should be no problem to treat it."
Su Tang explained the situation to Director Lei in detail for more than a minute, and then marked the tails of the five silver needles that needed attention with a marker pen. Then she nodded to Director Lei and said, "Hello, Director Lei. I am Su Tang from the General Internal Medicine Department of the Sixth Hospital. If there is anything else with this child, you can call me directly."
As he spoke, Su Tang picked up a piece of white paper handed to him by someone else and quickly wrote down his phone number.
Director Lei looked at Su Tang deeply and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many talented people in our hospital. You are quite good. If there are any patients on the operating table who need to stop bleeding, I will come to you."
After saying this, Director Lei waved his hand and asked three paramedics to carry Xiangxiang, who had just received first aid, and get on the ambulance and go back to the hospital.
From frowning and distrusting, to helping to hold other people back, and then to inviting the female doctor in front of him.
Director Lei's entire transformation process took only a few minutes, which not only stunned the onlookers nearby, but also the attending physician in the emergency department who was carrying the stretcher.
Damn! When he was doing his internship in general surgery, he had never seen Director Lei have such a good temper towards anyone!
General surgeons have a heavy workload. Often, before the surgery on the previous patient is completed, another emergency surgery comes up. Every day is very stressful.
Therefore, in the department, if the work is done correctly, it is your duty, but if it is done wrong, you will be scolded by your superiors.
Director Lei left behind a legend as a devil in the general surgery department long ago.
"What are you looking at, kid?!"
Director Lei slapped the attending doctor on the head and urged, "Why don't you call the hospital and tell them to prepare the things for the surgery? Hurry!"
"Oh, yes, yes." The attending doctor nodded repeatedly and quickly took out his phone to call the emergency department's internal hotline to supplement a series of items and personnel needed for the little girl's operation.
…………
There were many casualties in this chain reaction, but the first batch of ambulances that arrived at the scene were only four.
According to the patients' conditions, traffic police and police officers first assisted the four most urgent patients to be taken back to the Sixth Hospital. The remaining car accident patients will wait for the second batch of ambulances to arrive.
The clean light-colored clothes had long been stained with blood and dust, and even looked a little wrinkled because of half-kneeling on the ground while saving people. Su Tang looked around with an expressionless face.
She now has very few silver needles on her body. If she encounters another patient like Xiangxiang, she may not be able to save her in time. Fortunately, the four most critically ill patients have been taken away. Although the remaining patients look bad, they are obviously conscious and do not have large-scale open wounds.
However, even so, Su Tang planned to wait until the second batch of ambulances arrived before leaving the scene.
Avoid accidents during the journey.
After all, traffic accidents often present some special circumstances. For example, there are no open wounds on the body, but severe concussion, vomiting and coma are found, or there may be a ruptured liver or spleen, massive internal bleeding, etc.
"Little girl, are you waiting here for other ambulances? Or why don't you rest here for a while and drink some water?" A middle-aged lady in the crowd saw that Su Tang's forehead was already soaked with sweat, and immediately bought some icy mineral water from a small supermarket on the side of the road and handed it to her.
Even in the summer, around six or seven in the evening, the weather was still hot and uneasy. In addition, Su Tang had been chasing the thief and then performing acupuncture, so her clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"Thank you." Su Tang asked the aunt to open the water bottle, washed her blood-stained hands first, and then took two sips of mineral water.
"Girl, you doctors in the Sixth Hospital are all very good. I saw you and Director Lei's movements were very smooth when you saved people. The others are not bad either, but I heard that one is an intern and the other two are nurses."
The middle-aged lady gave Su Tang a thumbs up and said, "It's great to be able to see a car accident and come out to help rescue people as soon as possible!"
"You're exaggerating. This is what we should do."
Su Tang felt a little embarrassed by being praised, and scratched her head awkwardly. However, the soft hair on her forehead stuck tightly to her fair and tender cheeks with sweat, and turned a few small circles, making the girl look even more adorable.
The middle-aged aunt's eyes sparkled as she tried to promote her son: "Girl, are you married? I have a son. He just graduated from college this year and he's very handsome. He's a perfect match for you!"
Su Tang: “……???”
Su Tang stared with dead fish eyes: "…………"
No, do people nowadays like to introduce people to each other so much?
I just experienced one last night, and now I have another one after get off work today?
"No, Auntie, I've been graduated from graduate school for almost a year. Isn't this too much of an old cow eating young grass?" Su Tang shuddered and waved her hands, trying to dissuade the middle-aged aunt from the idea.
The middle-aged aunt was full of excitement. She slapped her thigh and said happily: "What's the big deal? My family likes cultured people. If you want to be with my son, then my son is the winner. A woman who is three years older than you is a treasure!"
Su Tang had no expression on her face: “…………”
The more she listened to the look and tone, the more it sounded like a sale at a mall? And the goods were slow-moving.
Just as Su Tang was racking her brains, trying to think of how to refuse without appearing stiff and embarrassing, a boy sitting under a tree on the roadside suddenly exclaimed, "Auntie, your face is so pale. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
The crowd, who were already highly alert to the scene of the car accident, immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Su Tang's face became even more solemn, and he ran quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.
The woman under the tree's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She covered her abdomen with her hands unconsciously and trembled all over. Drops of cold sweat slid down her cheeks. She didn't even dare to take a deep breath, for fear of causing more painful backlash.
Su Tang carefully observed the other person's face and reached out to touch the other person's abdomen. The patient's muscles were tense and his abdomen was as tense as an iron plate. As Su Tang pressed it, his face became paler and ugly.
Su Tang immediately made a serious conclusion.
"The liver and spleen are ruptured and bleeding heavily. He must be rushed to the hospital!"
