678 Don't worry, I'll do my best. (Alliance Leader lunar_coco extra chapter 4)

「There are many wounded, we can't keep up. 」 Director Chiang said: 「Pick the critically ill to operate on, send the slightly less severe ones to Rongcheng. 」

「Hmm. 」 Zheng Ren nodded, started changing clothes.

He had a bruise at the corner of his left eye, a not-large bloodstain had already scabbed. This injury was sustained together with a fracture of his left rib; Zheng Ren didn't mind too much, as long as it didn't Impact the Shou Bing field of view.

As soon as the clothes came off, dirt scraps fell down with a swish.

These days rolling in muddy water, especially going up and down the mountain, crawling and scrambling all the way, I didn't even notice I'd gotten this dirty.

Director Chiang grimly forced a faint smile and asked: "May I ask your esteemed surname?"

"Just call me Xiao Zheng," Zheng Ren said with a simple, honest smile, "this is Su Yun."

"Why not rinse with pure water? Conditions are limited, just make do, I'm really sorry." Seeing Zheng Ren take off his clothes, inside were also muddy water dried by body heat, Director Chiang said in a hoarse voice.

Besides the muddy water, his body was covered in countless bruises and scrapes.

Knowing the road ahead would be tough, I thought just making it back alive and kicking was already lucky. I never expected to have so many wounds……

Director Chiang felt somewhat guilty, having returned but unable to even take a hot shower. Right after the earthquake, conditions were primitive, and there was nothing he could do.

Zheng Ren nodded.

Using pure water to bathe is indeed a bit luxurious, but for the sake of Shou Bing, we have no choice but to do it this way.

Having come down from the front line, we have sterile conditions, so we should strive for sterile operation.

Soon, Director Chiang brought a container of pure water, stood on a stool, and poured bottle after bottle into a simple, elevated container.

At this moment, a voice came from the Operating Room.

"Director Chiang, done, next."

Director Chiang apologetically glanced at Zheng Ren.

"You go ahead, we'll handle this side." Zheng Ren smiled, and the dry, hard mud on his face kept falling off.

"Right, Director Chiang." Zheng Ren suddenly remembered something, and seeing Director Chiang about to leave, he immediately said:

"Hmm?"

"Bring two wounded up here, we'll finish this side quickly."

"Okay." Director Chiang turned and jogged away.

"Boss, you first, or me first?" Su Yun asked.

"You go first, I'll have a smoke." Zheng Ren said, "Where's the cigarette?"

Su Yun took out the innermost, close-fitting plastic bag and carefully opened it.

The cigarettes inside the plastic bag were all crushed; who knows how many falls he'd taken today.

Su Yun shook his head, Zheng Ren picked a half-smoked cigarette butt from inside, opened the window, and lit it.

Taking a puff, he rested. He didn't know when he'd get to smoke again, Zheng Ren thought.

Soon, Su Yun finished washing. He had nothing else, just rubbing off the mud on his body.

Just going to change into an Isolation Gown while naked…… This feeling is rather peculiar. But one can't wear underwear soaked in muddy water, can one?

Zheng Ren began pouring water into the storage container himself, then took a shower.

Like that night's rain, the icy pure water fell on his body, Zheng Ren again thought of that helicopter, the roar of its rotors, and the bearded pilot.

He unconsciously raised his hand, fist aimed at the empty air.

Don't worry, I'll do my best!

Zheng Ren then lowered his hand and thoroughly rinsed himself clean.

He didn't feel refreshed; this place still essentially differed from Xie Yiren's bathtub.

As long as it's clean, that's fine. Zheng Ren heard the sound of a cart outside, grabbed an Isolation Gown, gave it a quick wipe, put it on, and walked into the hallway.

One Operating Room door was closed, while another in the distance was open; probably Su Yun was in that one.

Zheng Ren hurried over and saw Su Yun in the process of disinfecting.

"Any images?" Zheng Ren, seeing Director Chiang present, asked.

"Only X-rays." Director Chiang said.

Zheng Ren guessed the same; at a township-level hospital, after the wounded arrive, doing a head CT, abdominal ultrasound, and taking X-rays of other fracture sites counts as a full checkup.

Just take a quick look.

The Operating Room is very rudimentary, lacking even a viewbox.

Zheng Ren picked up the X-ray film and squinted at the light.

"Doctor Zheng, I'll be your assistant in a moment." Director Chiang said.

"No need." Zheng Ren glanced at the film and answered offhand.

"Afraid you're not used to our equipment." Director Chiang said.

Actually, Zheng Ren also knew this was just polite talk; you can't just let anyone show up and start performing Shou Bing.

It's not an Appendectomy; almost all General Surgery Department doctors… in fact, nearly all surgeons can do it.

Interventional surgery, all are level three or four surgeries. Though they look minimally invasive, the Shou Bing is actually major, requiring at least an attending-level physician to perform.

Come on, it's fine; one Shou Bing will put Director Chiang at ease.

Zheng Ren didn't mind, squinting at the X-ray film.

"Boss, hands are scrubbed." Su Yun called out from that side.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren put down the film and asked: "Where's the hand-washing station?"

"This way." Director Chiang called over a circulating nurse to help, and he and Zheng Ren scrubbed their hands together.

With the state machinery activated and the people's efforts, supplies are not lacking.

All necessary supplies are piled up like mountains; they just can't be transported up in a short time.

Especially the location of Pengxi Xiang as a transfer station, although conditions remain limited, lacking professional talent, but not lacking living supplies.

Scrub hands, disinfect, put on clothes.

Su Yun saw Director Jiang go up directly, also knowing his meaning. He curled his lip in disdain, but didn't say anything weird, left the operating room, and sat down in the procedure room.

"Director Jiang, then I won't be polite." Zheng Ren saw the airtight lead door close, Directly Say.

Director Jiang saw Zheng Ren full of confidence, also a bit puzzled.

Such a young Intervention Department Doctor? At this age, although from 912 Hospital, he's probably just a doctoral student, and not even graduated yet.

On the other hand, full of confidence, not knowing how the Shou Bing would turn out, afraid of being overambitious but under-skilled.

"No problem, I do circulatory interventional surgery; I'm not very familiar with interventional embolization for pelvic bone fractures." Director Jiang also had no objection, yielding the operator's position.

On the monitor, the patient's blood pressure was very low, systolic pressure not exceeding 60 mmHg.

Zheng Ren glanced, seeing the ECG Monitor still relatively stable, sinus rhythm, estimating that after the Shou Bing he could recover quickly.

While thinking, the Puncture Needle directly went into the femoral artery flattened into a white line.

Insert needle, penetrate skin, enter the outer membrane of the femoral artery, then a quick flick. The movement was extremely skilled, causing Director Jiang's eyelid to twitch involuntarily.

Doing the same interventional surgery, he knows this movement, but he can hardly ever pull it off.

You have to know that for a patient with hemorrhagic shock, even the femoral artery, a major artery, becomes a white line due to ischemia, making puncture extremely difficult.

Generally, interventional doctors use a syringe to aspirate; only when they see blood return can they confirm the needle tip has entered.

The whole process was very slow and careful, for fear that a little force would cause the Puncture Needle's tip to puncture the femoral artery.

But his…… movement was so skilled, without hesitation, he hit blood on the first try.

Director Jiang sighed inwardly, truly a doctor from 912 Hospital, his level is unfathomable!
