Chapter 709: with translation of chapter title

Liu Xu zhi and two fellow outdoor climbing enthusiasts from his team discovered more than ten power workers trapped on a collapsed mountain.

After discovering the survivors, they immediately located them and sought help.

After thirty hours of effort, they finally rescued all the power workers.

Along with the Liberation Army soldiers came a TV station's reporter and filming crew.

He didn't know how many cheers rang out nationwide when the TV broadcast showed the successful rescue of the trapped; there's no need to know, at least not right now.

During the rescue, Liu Xu zhi also got injured. His left arm was cut with a long wound, the bandaged gauze already soaked with blood, but he didn't mind.

It's just a minor injury.

As a doctor, although he is an Intervention Department Doctor in the Radiology Department, he nevertheless has basic emergency rescue knowledge.

The wound was only given the simplest treatment, and he didn't breathe easy until the casualty was lifted onto the 120 ambulance.

"Pelvic fracture, go to Pengxi Xiang!" said the doctor on the 120 ambulance, who together with Liu Xu zhi made a quick judgment and immediately told the driver ahead.

Liu Xu zhi froze for a moment.

Shouldn't the patient be taken directly to Rongcheng, then undergo Interventional surgery, blood transfusion, fluid replacement, and the like?

Why send him to Pengxi Xiang?

Liu Xu zhi also sat in the 120 ambulance, preparing to go to a Hospital to have his arm wound sutured.

His current condition is no longer suitable for the front lines; if he insists on staying, he will only bring greater trouble upon himself and the rescue team.

The 120 ambulance drove along the rugged mountain road, Liu Xu zhi glug-glug drank a bottle of pure water, licked his lips, and then felt a bit of his energy return.

The workload during this period was so intense that even Liu Xu zhi, an amateur outdoor climbing enthusiast, could not bear it.

They measured blood pressure and other vital signs, then hooked up fluids. The casualty's blood pressure was low, indicating hemorrhagic shock, but as long as fluids were infused, there likely wouldn't be any problems along the way.

"Where are you from?" the doctor on the 120 ambulance asked after finishing his work.

"Inner Mongolia." Liu Xu zhi gave a grin.

"That far! To make it to the front lines, you're really lucky!" the doctor on the 120 ambulance exclaimed.

After days of busyness, he saw too many volunteers who could only help in the rear and couldn't reach the front line.

That's why he said that.

"Heh." Liu Xu zhi's smile was dry and forced.

During these days, he had witnessed too many tragic scenes. He didn't want to speak of them; he only wanted to bury those images forever in his heart.

But his habitual smile seemed somewhat unnatural.

The doctor on the 120 ambulance knew the situation; people coming down from the front all had the same expression. He fell silent, watching the rescued casualties.

"Why go to Pengxi Xiang? Why not go to Rongcheng?" The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive; Liu Xu zhi felt uneasy, and to avoid thinking of those sad scenes, he broke the silence.

"Brother, you don't know, Pengxi Xiang specializes in this kind of surgery. Blood Vessel Interventional embolization for pelvic fractures can be done very quickly." The doctor on the 120 ambulance then started gossiping.

Talking about gossip is always better than thinking about those scenes. May the departed rest in peace, and the living stay strong.

Days must go on, and they should keep getting better.

Liu Xu zhi laughed; he himself is an Intervention Department Doctor, although just an Intervention Department Doctor at a small secondary hospital, but this is his specialty.

Finally he could exert a greater effect.

Even if Pengxi Xiang has a big shot holding down the fort, people still get tired sometimes. He can rest, then go up and perform a surgery. Even if their assistant gets tired, he can go up and lend a hand, and that's fine too.

No matter what he does, as long as he gives it his all, that's enough.

"How fast is the surgery?" Liu Xu zhi asked casually.

Actually, he already had the answer in his heart.

One hour, that's the basic figure. Because he had seen a god in the Surgery Livestream Room perform internal iliac artery branch embolization for pelvic fracture, which also took several tens of minutes.

So he just asked casually to lighten the oppressive atmosphere in the 120 ambulance.

"I'm not into this, but I've heard that doing one takes just ten-something or twenty minutes." The doctor on the 120 ambulance said mysteriously: "Brother, is this speed fast?"

Seeing Liu Xu zhi's surprised expression, he immediately explained: "Saying this, I'm not afraid you'll laugh, but before coming here, I didn't even know what Interventional surgery could actually do. In our place, severe pelvic fractures and large retroperitoneal hematomas are directly transferred to the Provincial Hospital; we can't perform this kind of surgery. A large retroperitoneal hematoma—who would dare touch it? Open it up and a gush of blood would send you to the ceiling."

"Uh..." Liu Xu zhi felt a bit dazed.

Ten-something to twenty minutes per case? Really?

Doing one case of severe pelvic fracture Interventional embolization takes me three to four hours, and that's already with relatively good luck.

And the expert in the Xinglin Yuan Surgery Livestream Room whom I admire also needs several tens of minutes to complete one case.

In Liu Xu zhi's view, this is already the limit speed.

Any faster, and it's simply impossible!

They, however, are confident enough to livestream on the doctors' professional forum as a big shot.

The claim that a pelvic fracture Interventional embolization takes ten-something or twenty minutes is probably just rumor.

People, after all, tend to unconsciously exaggerate miraculous things, especially in such an oppressive atmosphere.

Liu Xu zhi smiled kindly and said: "It really is fast; it's the fastest I've ever seen."

"I've heard that a doctor who studied at the Mayo Clinic flew back without hesitation to perform surgery." The doctor on the 120 ambulance said, full of admiration.

The Mayo Clinic, that's a holy land in the hearts of many doctors.

Liu Xu zhi was somewhat surprised, but deep down he stubbornly refused to believe. Coming from the Mayo Clinic, what could that possibly mean? Skill-wise, the expert in the Xinglin Yuan Surgery Livestream Room is definitely more capable!

He has full trust in the expert of the Surgery Livestream Room.

This admiration, this remote admiration, is not blind. Rather, Liu Xu zhi has followed and learned several new techniques, new ways of solving problems, saved several patients, and gradually built it up.

What about the Mayo Clinic? Surely the expert in the Surgery Livestream Room is still more capable.

Although he thought that, Liu Xu zhi didn't say it out loud. Being able to fly back from the Mayo Clinic without hesitation and return to the front lines—that's a hero!

Regardless of skill, just this mindset alone is enough to be called a hero.

All along talking about things unrelated to Earthquake Relief, the 120 ambulance arrived at Pengxi Township Hospital.

Liu Xu zhi arrived here and went straight to the front line; this was his first time coming down.

When he saw the neat camp, rows of deep-green tents, everything in order, his anxious heart finally eased.

Pengxi Xiang is on the very edge of the front line; to keep up this standard is truly invigorating.

All the effort was not wasted.
