maternity hospital

He Quan once took a helicopter to treat patients across provinces before, and almost knocked out his internal organs when encountering a draft, which is still fresh in his memory.This time it was not much better. Although the "Super Puma" transferred by the army was more stable than the ordinary medical helicopter last time, the climate after the disaster was changeable. He vomited after only 15 minutes of flying.

Xue Wei didn't do much, and tore off the vomit bag within 5 minutes of flying.He was afraid of heights, his face turned pale as soon as the helicopter was pulled up, and he broke out in cold sweat layer by layer.Zheng Zhiqing also had a tense expression. Although Zhao Yue was a girl, she was calmer than they looked, and was praised by the pilot all the way.Ji Xianli decided to join the rescue team on the spur of the moment before taking off. When he was in the Americas, he often traveled between small islands and often took helicopters, and he was used to this feeling of weightlessness.

The model is large. After arriving at the destination, it cannot land due to insufficient ground conditions and can only hover in the air. The medical staff on board must slide down to the ground by ropes.Zheng Zhiqing has climbed rocks before, and there is no obstacle in using it.Ji Xianli also has experience.But the others were dumbfounded when they saw that it was at least ten floors above the ground, and went down by the dangling rope.

The fellow soldiers taught them how to use the downhill rope one by one.Zheng Zhiqing was the first to land, untied the rope, raised her head and shouted He Quan's name, telling him not to be afraid.He Quan slid down with his eyes closed, and was caught by Zheng Zhiqing and held in his arms.Xue Wei grabbed the rope and knelt at the door of the helicopter, not daring to move, almost getting kicked out of the cabin by Ji Xianli.

As soon as all the people on board landed safely, a wave of aftershocks hit.Zheng Zhiqing grabbed He Quan with one hand and supported Zhao Yue with the other, and it took more than 30 seconds for her to calm down.The landing site is a temporary medical area, and a group of medical staff has already arrived, and white coats have entered and exited the [-] medical tents with red crosses on them.

Ji Xianli, Zheng Zhiqing, and Xue Wei have emergency backgrounds and followed the search and rescue team into the town. He Quan and Zhao Yue stayed in the medical area to treat the injured.The road was completely broken, and the large troops and excavators hadn't arrived yet. The progress of the clearing work was slow, and some places had to be crawled with hands and feet.

Although there was no snow on the road, the snow melted and made the road muddy and slippery. The search and rescue team spent nearly an hour on the road that usually only takes 10 minutes to walk.Fortunately, all the doctors who came here were young and middle-aged doctors, and most of them had good physical strength for emergency treatment, otherwise they would not be able to save others if they were exhausted first.

Zheng Zhiqing was relieved to see Xie Miao covered in mud next to a ruin.Dirty gauze was stuck to Xie Miao's forehead, but the rest seemed to be fine.He also saw Zheng Zhiqing, and immediately pointed to the ruins of the collapsed building not far away and said, "There are more than a dozen buried over there, so hurry up and help."

Once a person is found in the ruins, the doctor immediately stepped forward to confirm the vital signs, give up on the dead, and save the living.Zheng Zhiqing was tying a tourniquet on a wounded man when she heard a woman's cry from beside her.

"I beg you, save my man!" She knelt in front of the search and rescue team members with disheveled hair, the dirt on her face was washed away by tears.

Her man died, just Ji Xianli had confirmed it.The deceased was buried under the ruins, with only the head and half of the shoulders exposed. It would take a lot of manpower to get it out completely.The 48 hours after the disaster is the prime time for searching and rescuing survivors. After this time, very few survive.

"He pushed me out but he was buried underneath. Please, save him!" The woman, unwilling to face the reality, begged the search and rescue team, seeing them busy digging up the collapsed building materials and shouting "Help!" The man had no time to take care of himself, and turned to beg Zheng Zhiqing who was bandaging the wounded, "Doctor! Please show kindness! As long as I can save him! I will be your cow and horse in the next life!"

Although sad, Zheng Zhiqing could only helplessly persuade her to leave here first.

"There are still aftershocks, sister, it's too dangerous, can you go to the camp with the people over there first?" Zheng Zhiqing dragged her up from the ground, half dragged her, and brought her to the search and rescue personnel who organized the survivors to evacuate to the station. "She was stimulated, take care of her."

Before the search and rescue team reached out, the woman suddenly slapped Zheng Zhiqing across the face, and shouted hysterically: "Aren't you here to save people!? Why don't you go save my man?!"

This slap seemed to use all the strength of the whole body. Zheng Zhiqing's nose was hot, and he raised his hand reflexively to wipe it. Looking down, the mud and blood on the palm of his hand were mixed together.When the search and rescue team saw the medical staff being beaten, they hurriedly pulled the woman away, and then asked Zheng Zhiqing if he needed help.

Pulling out a piece of gauze to wipe away the nosebleed, Zheng Zhiqing waved his hand, telling them to take good care of the woman, and returned to the wounded waiting for treatment.

He wouldn't blame that desperate woman, the sudden disaster broke most of the people here.

He Quan performed two caesarean sections in the continuous aftershocks, and the patients were all carried by family members and search and rescue personnel on stretchers.The power supply of the generator was unstable, and the lights in the tent flickered, which brought a lot of trouble to the operation.He has never been so nervous, even when he was on the operating table for the first time, he was more relaxed than he is now.

The electric light went out for as long as 5 minutes, and Zhao Yue had to use the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to illuminate He Quan to ensure that he could suture in time, and at the same time, he had to take care of delivering surgical instruments.After the two operations, although the temperature in the mountainous area was below freezing, their close-fitting clothes were soaked in sweat.

Supplies are limited, and it is impossible to do one set of equipment for one person.After the operation, He Quan and Zhao Yue were busy throwing the instruments into boiling water to sterilize them.The sporadic falling snowflakes were scalded by the steam, and drops of water condensed on He Quan's long eyelashes, dripping down with trembling eyelashes.Zhao Yue thought he was crying, so he quickly touched a piece of clean gauze and handed it to him.

He Quan waved his hand and wiped the water droplets from his face.

"It's too miserable..." Zhao Yue sighed softly, "Human beings are so small in front of nature."

"Now is not the time to be emotional, saving one more life is the key."

Patting Zhao Yue's shoulder, He Quan took out the sterilized instruments one by one with surgical forceps and stuffed them into sterile bags for storage.

More and more rescuers arrived, and more and more survivors were sent to the medical area.Those who were slightly injured were left for treatment, and those who were seriously injured were immediately admitted to the hospital. The roar of the helicopter propeller never stopped.

It had been more than twenty hours since he arrived in the disaster area, and He Quan only drank water once and took a piece of chocolate that Zhao Yue stuffed into his mouth, so he didn't have time to eat at all.The doctors here are no longer divided into departments. Whoever is free will take care of the wounded. Only when surgery is necessary, they are divided into departments.He Quan seemed to have returned to the days of rotating in the emergency department, his hands never stopped.It wasn't until my hands were shaking that I couldn't hold the suture steadily, so I had to sit down to catch my breath.

Some of the medical staff who arrived before them were exhausted. It is said that they had not closed their eyes for more than [-] hours.Just now, the aftershock caused a landslide next to the camp, and a medical tent was buried. Two doctors and a nurse were photographed underneath, as well as the wounded who were undergoing surgery.Fortunately, the excavation was done in time, and everyone was alive, but the three medical staff obviously couldn't continue working, and their psychology was extremely traumatized.They will follow the next batch of seriously injured people back to the urban area, away from danger, but the shadow in their hearts may not be eliminated in this life.

He Quan asked Zhao Yue to go with him, but Zhao Yue refused, saying that he was sexist.He Quan didn't even have the strength to force a smile, he just slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.The roar of the helicopter sounded again overhead, and the fire in front of him was almost extinguished by the airflow from the propeller.He Quan squinted his eyes against the wind, and saw a familiar figure sliding down the downhill rope.

As soon as Ouyang's feet touched the ground, he immediately walked towards the camp, looking left and right to find the person in charge.Seeing He Quan, he greeted him first.He Quan sat down and reached out to shake his hand—to save some effort, he just received the news that there will be another fetus in an abnormal position to be cut later, and he is on his way to the camp.

"When did you arrive?" Ouyang said, waving to the people he had brought, and those people were immediately trained to receive the supplies dropped one after another from the "Black Hawk" helicopter.

"Yesterday, right? Or was it the day before yesterday?" He Quan said as he thumped his shoulder, "Did you bring the Marine Corps here?"

"They're all former comrades-in-arms." The walkie-talkie pinned to his waist rang, Ouyang picked it up and responded to the other party, and nodded at He Quan, "I'll go see the person in charge first, and talk when I'm done."

"I can't finish it."

He Quan stood up on his knees, and dragged his legs filled with lead into the medical tent.Zhao Yue curled up next to the medical bed for a nap, and opened her eyes in a daze when she heard the movement.

"Director He, how long have I been asleep?"

"In less than 10 minutes, sleep a little longer, there will be surgery later."

Zhao Yue yawned and stood up, pointing to the cart under the medical equipment: "There are instant noodles, you can eat something."

Bending down to take out a box of instant noodles from the bottom of the trolley, He Quan lifted the lid and took out the miscellaneous ingredients inside, sprinkled them in, and poured boiling water on them.While waiting for the instant noodles to boil, he fell asleep leaning against the pillars of the tent, but was woken up by Zhao Yue after less than 5 minutes of sleep.

"Look at how tired you are, how do you do the surgery?" Zhao Yue threw a piece of gauze to wipe his face - Director He's handsome face is the public property of Dazheng, how can it be so dirty that everyone is angry?

After wiping his face, He Quan lifted the lid of the instant noodle box that was stuck by the fork, blew on the hot air and said, "I, as soon as I picked up the scalpel, I was beaten—cough—"

Putting the instant noodles into Zhao Yue's hands, He Quan turned his face and rushed out of the tent, bent down and supported his knees, choking out a mouthful of stomach acid.Zhao Yue chased him out and saw him throwing up, so he hurriedly patted his back.

"Are you okay? Why don't you go to bed first?" Zhao Yue looked around anxiously—the executives haven't come back yet, how can there be only one obstetrician in the camp now, if this continues, another operation will collapse.

Ten hours ago, he received a message from Zheng Zhiqing, saying that he was still in the town for rescue, and he told He Quan that Xie Miao was fine.He Quan also saw Pan Yongxiu in the camp, and the whole family was fine, except for the youngest daughter who ran out during the earthquake and fell, and her forehead was scratched.Pan Yongxiu said that it was a blessing to Xie Miao to cure illnesses and save people to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. The houses in the whole village collapsed, but theirs was fine.

He Quan coughed a few times, straightened up with difficulty and asked, "Is the seasoning packet in the instant noodles broken? Why does it taste so disgusting?"

"I think it's quite delicious..." Zhao Yue frowned, "How about some compressed biscuits? And ham sausage."

He Quan's face froze, and he bent down and poured out a mouthful of acidic water.
