The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.
Chapter 981 In Hawaii (8)
What followed was a flurry of activity. Jack temporarily used healing magic to stabilize the FBI agent's condition. The two gunshot wounds in the chest and abdomen almost caused the fifty- or sixty-year-old agent to lose nearly a third of his body's blood.
Perhaps it was because of aging that his body functions were not as strong as those of young people, and the premature hemorrhagic shock put him into a long-term near-death state.
However, the problem is still very tricky. Near-death is near-death. In this case where all the organs in the body fail due to ischemia, even Jack's treatment can only temporarily delay the time of death without performing a "miracle".
Although his treatment method was unscientific, it still followed the law of conservation of matter. Jack had no way of forcing the injured man to drink a lot of sugar water to replenish his lost blood in public.
The first aid kit in Cheng Hao's car only contained epinephrine and naloxone injection needles, not even a bag of glucose, and the injured now urgently needed electrolyte water for infusion.
Now the old agent is relying on Jack's healing skills to survive. If they had arrived a few minutes later, his heart might have stopped completely.
By this time, Danny and Kono had finished searching the cabin. After confirming there was no threat, they hurried back. "No one was in the house. There were signs of forced entry and footprints, but no trace of Julie."
Cheng Hao, who was standing by, had just hung up the satellite phone. "The Coast Guard has a rescue helicopter that can be called in, but it will take at least half an hour to prepare, plus the time on the road, it will take at least 45 minutes. In addition, we must first clear a landing field.
In addition, the HPD support team is on the way with police dogs, but it will take time for a larger search team to assemble."
Jack looked up and followed his gaze towards the fruit trees in the open space in front of the house. Two of the particularly tall palm trees and coconut trees had to be cut down to avoid affecting the helicopter's landing.
Coconut tree? He couldn't help but think of an old movie he had seen before, "I need a few fresh coconuts for emergency treatment, fresh and green coconuts."
"???"
Question marks popped up in the heads of several people at the same time. Kono was the fastest to react and was the first to guess what he wanted to do. However, her expression was a little hesitant. "You want to use coconut infusion? I've only seen this method on the Internet."
"I have read relevant papers and also consulted military doctors when I was in DEVGRU. It is indeed possible to temporarily replace intravenous fluids with fresh coconut water. Although it is very risky, there is no better way at the moment."
"When did you join the army? And were you in 'DEVGRU'?" Danny knew that his "eldest nephew" was very capable, but he knew very little about his experiences over the years. He had no idea about going to Mexico with SEAL Team B to fight drug dealers.
"It doesn't count as joining the army, I just stayed in there for three months. We'll talk about this later." Jack acted confidently.
After all, with the support of healing skills, it was not a big risk to do so. But if he didn't do so, he couldn't explain how he saved a wounded man with such severe blood loss with his bare hands.
The coconut water mentioned here is certainly not the coconut milk mixed with coconut milk of the "drink since childhood" brand, but the part of the coconut that is as clear as water. It contains fructose that can be directly absorbed by the human body and electrolytes rich in inorganic ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium.
Of course, the most important thing is that a well-sealed coconut is relatively sterile, and the osmotic pressure of the coconut water in a green coconut that has just matured and has not yet aged is similar to that of blood.
Cheng Hao and Danny took out a chainsaw from the bed of the F150 and with the help of four HPD police officers who came with them, they easily cut down the coconut tree.
They continued to clear other trees on the open space. With her rich experience of island life, Kono picked three fresh coconuts and hung them on the rearview mirror of the F150 with a net bag.
At the same time, Jack had made a simple infusion pump using a needle and a knotted rubber tube, and stuffed a small piece of gauze inside to filter out impurities.
Kono, who was squatting beside him and helping him, watched this green-skinned operation with horror. What he used to disinfect the hose was not even regular alcohol. She clearly smelled alcohol.
After adjusting the flow rate of the coconut water with the knot on the hose, Jack inserted the needle into the vein in the old agent's arm, then heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Danny and Cheng Hao, who were also busy on the other side, came over and watched the incredible scene without blinking, expecting a miracle to happen.
Seeing the old agent's chest finally rise and fall visibly, and his pale lips regaining a hint of color, Danny exclaimed, "Fuck, this actually works."
-
As the sound of a helicopter engine was heard in the distance, Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out the needle. The rescue helicopter must have brought enough first aid supplies, so these emergency measures would not be needed.
At this time, several fallen trees in the open space in front of the house had been towed away by Cheng Hao and several HPD police officers in their police car. The red and white painted helicopter landed smoothly, and two emergency workers bent over and trotted towards this side with a simple stretcher.
"How are the wounded?"
One of them seemed to be a temporary emergency doctor, a white man in his 40s, who didn't even have time to change out of his white coat.
"The condition is relatively stable. One bullet is lodged in the abdominal cavity, which must have caused contamination. The other bullet was shot from the back. I'm not sure if there are shrapnel left in the body, but this wound caused excessive blood loss. I used some emergency measures."
Jack said as he helped put the man on the stretcher.
"Are you a military doctor? Great job. Leave the rest to us." The white doctor gave the old agent plasma, glanced at the simple coconut infusion pump hanging on the rearview mirror of the F150, and gave Jack a thumbs up.
In his opinion, only military doctors would use this kind of emergency treatment method with the purpose of saving lives to the greatest extent possible, regardless of the consequences.
"Did we succeed?" Danny watched the helicopter leave, still unable to believe what had just happened.
"The rest depends on the hospital." Jack sighed in mock worry.
The bullet to the right side of the old agent's chest was in a good spot. Not only was it a penetrating wound, but the bullet also missed the pulmonary artery and vein. However, the bullet to the abdomen was a bit troublesome. The intestinal damage caused feces to flow into the abdominal cavity, which would cause serious infection and even sepsis.
But he was very lucky to have met me. As long as the doctor who performs the operation on him is not too bad, he will not have any sequelae in the future except for a small section of intestine missing and a scar.
"Let's turn our attention back to Julie. The girl's whereabouts are still unknown." The joy on Danny's face from successfully rescuing someone quickly faded. They now had to face a more difficult task.
"Yes, our troubles are far more than these." Cheng Hao tilted his head slightly towards the crowd, motioning them to follow him.
He walked to the back of one of the two police cars that the others had seen when they arrived and opened the trunk. Inside were two male bodies that had been stripped down to their underwear. One had been shot in the head, and the other had been shot twice in the back.
"They are Officer Tim Rackahan and Officer Joe Lee. I've just confirmed it with the HPD people." Cheng Hao stated the identities of the two bodies with a grim expression.
