The soldier saluted her and said respectfully, "Hello, sister-in-law! My name is Xiao Yichen, and I am Brother Cheng's subordinate and brother. I am here to pick you up. The leaders are very concerned about you and Captain Lu's situation, and have arranged a vehicle to take you directly to the hospital."
Lin Yuexi felt warm in her heart and said gratefully: "Thank you..."
Xiao Yichen helped carry the luggage and took Lin Yuexi and her son to a military vehicle. He carefully placed them in the vehicle and drove towards the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, Lin Yuexi found that Lu Cheng had been transferred to a separate ward, which was fully equipped and clean.
Lin Yuexi walked forward with Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun.
Lu Cheng lying on the hospital bed had his eyes closed, his handsome and resolute face now pale as a bee.
His head was wrapped in a thick bandage with blood smeared on the gauze. His legs were flat on the bed, but it was impossible to tell whether he was paralyzed or not.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun looked at Lu Cheng on the bed, a little overwhelmed, and asked softly: "Mom, is Dad asleep?"
"Yes, your father is just asleep. You just need to call him gently and he will wake up..." As a doctor, Lin Yuexi knows that in order to wake up a seriously injured and unconscious person, in addition to medicine, family affection is also needed.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun are his blood relatives. As long as he keeps calling out and gives him acupuncture, Lu Cheng will definitely wake up.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi asked Xiao Yichen beside her: "Comrade, can you take me to see Lu Cheng's attending physician..."
"Sister-in-law, sure, I'll take you there now..."
Xiao Yichen brought Lin Yuexi to the doctor's office. The attending doctor was a middle-aged man who looked tired but focused. When he saw Lin Yuexi, he nodded slightly.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath and asked, "Doctor, I am Lu Cheng's family member. I would like to know his current specific condition. How serious is his head injury? And his legs..."
The doctor pushed up his glasses, looked at the medical records and said, "Captain Lu suffered a severe head injury and intracranial congestion. He is currently in a coma. As for his legs, there are no obvious signs of fractures for the time being, but further observation is needed on the damage to the nerves and muscles. The risk of subsequent movement disorders cannot be ruled out.
The next 48 hours are critical, and if they go smoothly, the chances of recovery will increase.”
Lin Yuexi's face became solemn, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Doctor, although I haven't obtained a doctor's qualification certificate.
But my grandmother has been practicing medicine for generations and has superb medical skills. I have inherited her skills. I have experience in Chinese medicine acupuncture and in clearing blood stasis in the brain. I would like to participate in his follow-up treatment. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yichen was very surprised after listening in. He had never heard Lu Cheng tell him that he had two children and that his wife was proficient in medicine.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he would hardly have believed it.
Is this really the illiterate country girl that Cheng Ge described as someone who can’t even fart for a long time?
The attending doctor also looked at her in surprise, hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not in line with the hospital's normal procedures, but in view of Captain Lu's special situation, if you can ensure that it will not interfere with normal treatment, I can apply to my superiors."
Lin Yuexi thanked him quickly, her eyes revealing determination and hope.
After returning to the ward, Lin Yuexi asked Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun to sit by the bed, gently held Lu Cheng's hand, and said softly: "Lu Cheng, the children are here, you must try your best to wake up, the children are still waiting for you to go home together."
That night, Xiao Yichen helped Lin Yuexi add two beds in the single room and prepared everything they needed for life for her and her two children.
Lin Yuexi then settled down in Lu Cheng's ward with peace of mind.
Since the attending physician's application to his superiors had not yet been approved, Lin Yuexi was afraid that the treatment would be delayed.
Late at night in the hospital, when the two little guys fell asleep, Lin Yuexi brought Lu Cheng into the space for a full-body examination.
The film showed that Lu Cheng's brain was hit by a heavy object and there was indeed a large amount of blood clots in his skull. If it was not cleared in time, it would not only threaten his life, but even if he woke up, he would most likely suffer serious sequelae.
Lu Cheng's thighs and calves were hit by several bullets. The shrapnel penetrated his bones and damaged the nerves in his legs.
Although the shrapnel had been removed long ago, due to the poor conditions at the time and the small dosage of anti-inflammatory drugs used in subsequent treatment, the anti-inflammatory effect was not achieved in time, causing him to fall into a coma again.
Lin Yuexi decided not to wait any longer and performed a craniotomy on him right away to clear the blood clots.
Anyway, staying in the space for an hour and a half is equivalent to more than ten minutes outside.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She took out a set of medical supplies that had been stockpiled long ago, carefully selected high-quality precision surgical instruments, and began the craniotomy operation.
She first injected Lu Cheng with Ma Fei San, and then carefully disinfected Lu Cheng's head with a special medicine. Then she picked up the scalpel, and with a focused and determined look, she gently cut along the pre-designed incision position. Her movements were careful and precise, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
With every cut, her heart tightened, but her hands did not tremble at all.
As the skull was slowly opened, the blood clot appeared in front of her eyes. Lin Yuexi carefully used tweezers and aspirator to remove the blood clot bit by bit, while paying close attention to Lu Cheng's vital signs to ensure the safety of the operation.
The process was long and arduous, and sweat soaked her back, but she never stopped what she was doing.
After completing the craniotomy, Lin Yuexi quickly turned her attention to Lu Cheng's injured legs.
She first used acupuncture to stimulate the acupuncture points on the legs, dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation, and relieve nerve compression.
Then, she used the spiritual spring water to clean all the wounds on Lu Cheng's body, and prepared a special herbal ointment, which she gently applied around the wounds to help reduce inflammation and relieve pain and promote tissue repair.
In the space, time seemed to freeze, and Lin Yuexi devoted herself to treating Lu Cheng.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally completed all the treatment steps and bandaged Lu Cheng's wound carefully.
She sat aside tiredly, looking at Lu Cheng, who was still unconscious but whose complexion seemed to have improved slightly, and prayed silently in her heart that this risky treatment would be successful and that he would wake up as soon as possible.
After resting in the space for a while, Lin Yuexi was afraid that the attending doctor would make rounds at night, so she took Lu Cheng out of the space, put him back on the bed, and pretended nothing had happened.
Lin Yuexi guessed correctly. For patients like Lu Cheng who were still in critical condition, the doctor would come to check on them every 20 minutes.
