713 Pengxi Township Hospital? (Alliance Leader ynaB extra 5)

Huaxi, in the big compound, figures in White Coat constantly shuttle through the green tents.

Busyness is the overall atmosphere, like dark clouds covering the sky, weighing on hearts for a long time, so much that nobody even has time to complain or feel tired.

With that spare time, it's better to find a spot to lie down and sleep awhile; nothing could be happier than that.

Emergency Department Director sat by the roadside in Huaxi's compound, holding printed data, pondering something.

"Director, the newly launched emergency management system is really easy to use." A small clerk from the Medical Department stood aside and said.

"Hmm, you didn't even check who made it." The director looked at the data in hand, pondering something.

"Who made it?" The small clerk exclaimed in surprise, could it be that the director knows the person who made the system?

"That person was helping here a few days ago, then he brought a batch of people and went to the front line."

The small clerk was stunned.

At times like this, the front line isn't something you can just go to.

Saying they have connections everywhere is not an exaggeration.

But what does that have to do with the emergency medical management system software?

"The data is wrong." The Emergency Department Director pointed at the A4 paper in hand and said: "Where are the pelvic fracture patients from Pengxi Xiang? Why isn't it showing in the data?"

The small clerk isn't a medical student; he paused for a moment, then said: "I'll go check right away."

Having said that, he ran off in a flash.

The old director frowned, deep in thought, afraid something might go wrong.

By rights Pengxi Xiang, being at the forefront, should be transferring more critically ill patients, but the data shows that since about two days ago, severe pelvic fracture casualties have not appeared at all.

Just like abdominal organ rupture, severe pelvic fracture casualties are among the most treated types of trauma.

This trauma isn't instantly fatal, but it's also very serious; over time it will definitely become fatal.

Generally, when large units move in and dig people out of rubble, it delays at least a day.

Almost all such casualties arriving are in hemorrhagic shock and must be rescued in emergency.

Could it be that the relief work in the six severely disaster-affected counties under Pengxi Xiang's jurisdiction has run into problems?

That shouldn't be the case; other lightly and severely wounded keep arriving steadily from Pengxi Xiang, it's just that there are no severe pelvic fracture casualties.

According to data from the past few hours, even the number of amputation casualties is gradually decreasing.

Soon, the small clerk from the Medical Department came running back, holding a paper, and said: "Director, Pengxi Xiang has performed all the Shou Bing. Post‑operative patients were not sent here; they were sent straight to the Provincial Hospital and other lower‑level hospitals."

"How many?"

"197 person‑times, casualties sent to the Provincial Hospital and lower‑level hospitals are recovering well; only two cases of hemorrhagic shock have not been corrected and are still under rescue." The small clerk's data says it all.

Strange, can that kind of place Pengxi Xiang handle such a volume of severe pelvic fracture treatment work?

The Emergency Department Director wasn't really believing it, but the cold hard data showed him the truth.

Whether one believes it or not, the data is there. Not only the surgery volume, but also the postoperative patients' recovery status is recorded.

"Right, after receiving a call from Pengxi Xiang, they said they've started doing thrombectomy surgery for those needing amputation; the corresponding casualties should be sent here soon." The small clerk said.

The Emergency Department Director fell silent.

He still couldn't figure out how Pengxi Xiang, with such rudimentary conditions, managed to do it.

Huaxi is the final great dam, intercepting the flood‑like casualties flowing down from the front line.

Countless people are treated here, the figure is shocking. As the Emergency Department Director in charge of intake and triage here, he doesn't want to dwell on it too much.

But the elder brother of Southwest Medicine, one of the few large tertiary hospitals in the country's medical system, only by opening all interventional operating rooms simultaneously could it barely cope with treating the massive numbers of pelvic fracture and retroperitoneal large hematoma casualties.

Pengxi Xiang?

It really is strange.

Still need to do thrombectomy surgery? Not talking about technical capability, are the machines over there sufficient?

Just then, an Emergency Rescue Service ambulance came flying.

Now the wailing sound of ambulances is gradually being accepted by people; he stood up, handed the A4 paper to the small clerk, and strode over.

The Emergency Rescue Service ambulance stopped at the triage spot, a flatbed cart was immediately pushed over, and it was placed right behind the ambulance's rear door without delay.

The doctor on the ambulance jumped down, followed procedure, and simply said: "The amputation‑needing casualties transferred from Pengxi Xiang Hospital have already undergone thrombectomy; here are the X‑ray films and medical records. By the way, they said to prioritize it, otherwise complications could arise."

Saying that, he handed over the several film bags in his hand; each bag had a number corresponding to the wristband on the casualty, to avoid mix‑ups.

The Emergency Department physicians were somewhat puzzled, but who cares what the front line does? They just need to send the casualties quickly to Orthopedics and wait for surgery.

"Let me take a look at the film." The Emergency Department Director said in a low voice, then took the film bag from the young doctor's hand.

"First send the casualty to Orthopedics; after I finish looking, I'll bring the film myself." Saying that, he took the film to his office.

The office was in disarray, a military coat piled on the sofa; 26 hours ago, the Emergency Department Director had dozed here for three hours.

This is all the sleep he's gotten recently.

He was doubtful, took out a film from the bag, glanced at it, and thought it should be an interventional angiography film.

Did they really do thrombectomy surgery?

Although he isn't very familiar with thrombectomy surgery, some simple images still don't stump him.

But… after inserting the film, he just froze.

This is absolutely not an ordinary blood vessel angiogram; the position and angle are very tricky, and I don't know whether the person who cut the film was dazed or trying to convey some message to those behind with the film.

Can't understand… really can't understand.

He didn't hesitate, directly took out the second film and placed it on the viewer.

Still can't understand.

The third one is the same.

There are only three X‑ray films in total, all of them irregular. The Emergency Department Director stared at the three films placed on the viewer for a few seconds.

He immediately shook his head with a wry smile, wondering which expert was in Pengxi Xiang.

He knew that experts and professors from every discipline nationwide, if they could set aside their work, had all rushed over.

It was said that on the front lines, even a randomly grabbed medical worker had such an impressive résumé it would make one's jaw drop.

He shook his head, then took out a sheet of A4 paper from the film bag.

The handwriting on the paper seemed somewhat familiar… He suddenly recalled that among the earliest wounded evacuated by helicopter from South River Town, similar handwriting had appeared on medical records in a plastic bag on their chests, and this was somewhat like that.

Because all other wounded in Pengxi Xiang had printed medical records, seeing a handwritten one left a deep impression on him.

In retrospect, the diagnoses and suggestions in those medical records were all correct.

He immediately took notice, pulled out his eyeglasses case from his pocket, put on his reading glasses, and began to examine it carefully.
