My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 378: An Accident

Tang Yuxin quickly came over, kneeling on the ground. She placed her hand on his neck, tightly held his wrist, and then forcefully pressed down on Lin Yile’s shoulder.

“Lele, you’re a nurse. Stay calm, believe in yourself. You can handle this, we’ve been trained for this. He’s just been knocked unconscious from a head injury. Where’s your medical kit?”

“I’ll get it, I’ll fetch it right away,” Lin Yile turned around, tumbling to the floor with a loud thump. She did not cry but got up immediately, lifting her medical bag from the tricycle.

Inside were medications, alcohol, gauzes and bandages, an impressive assortment of supplies.

“Qingtong, let’s go and check on the others. Let’s leave these people in their hands.”

“Okay,” Song Qingtong’s experience had been purely academic until now; this was the first time she had encountered so many injuries. She wasn’t like Tang Yuxin, who had practical experience with patients, even with death.

She stumbled her way to a man who had just been pulled out from the snow. Her hands quivering, she fumbled and dropped some of the medical supplies. To add insult to injury, her fingers were frozen stiff.

She carefully set the man on the ground, her voice trembling as she tried fervently to regain composure.

She carefully examined the soldier’s injuries.

“The femur and the wrist are fractured, but the head is fine.”

“Find a piece of wood. I’ll stabilize him,” she said quickly to people nearby.

One person quickly scrambled to find usable items and returned soon after with some broken tree branches, his hands were reddened by the freezing cold.

Song Qingtong took a deep breath.

She reminded herself that she could do this. She had received the highest grades in her training exams, she had the knowledge. She treated it like another test.

She carefully set the branches around the soldier’s broken leg and wrist, covered him with her coat, and moved on to the next person.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuxin was squatting in front of another casualty.

This one had been dug out by Gu Ning.

Tang Yuxin held the victim’s wrist, pressing down with her two fingers. She wore a solemn expression as she pulled out her needle kit and selected the longest needle. The silver needle gleamed in the streetlight with a chill that outmatched the snow.

The condition was severe cerebral hemorrhage and was extremely critical. Waiting for an ambulance was out of the question, even ten minutes could result in brain damage.

She inserted the long needle into the victim’s skull directly, hoping to minimize the symptoms of his cerebral hemorrhage. She was helpless for this patient and could only try to buy time until the ambulance arrived. If she could stop the bleeding, she stood a chance of saving his life.

“How is it?” Gu Ning’s face was extremely grave, he had asked them to be careful, yet accidents still occurred.

“Not looking good,” Tang Yuxin also took off her coat, laid it on the snow and placed the man’s head on it. “It’s cerebral hemorrhage. I’m trying to suppress the blood vessels until the ambulance arrives, but there’s really not much I can do.”

“Yuxin, come over quickly,” Lin Yile shouted, calling for Tang Yuxin.

Tang Yuxin rose at her call. At the moment, she was only wearing a thin woolen sweater. Meanwhile, Lin Yile and other uninjured soldiers had also given their coats to the wounded.

Tang Yuxin squatted in front of Lin Yile. Lin Yile had her hands full of blood, holding them to a man’s mouth. “Yuxin, what to do? He’s constantly vomiting blood. I can’t stop it. What should I do…?”

Tang Yuxin unbuttoned the man’s clothing, with pressing fingers she assessed him.

“Internal bleeding. You handle his external injuries for now,” she then took out another needle package. She could only do such simple treatments, anything more complicated was beyond her ability.

“Give me the needle,” she said to Lin Yile, who quickly handed it to Tang Yuxin. Tang Yuxin had stopped the bleeding utilizing a simple needle method, but the snow was already stained red with his blood.

This man’s blood loss was extreme; even if the bleeding had stopped, he would still suffer from excessive blood loss. She rolled up the sleeve of her own cloth, inserted a needle into her vein and pulled out a tube of her blood.

“Yuxin, what…”

Lin Yile was horrified, “What are you doing?”

“I have Type O blood. He’s losing too much blood.”

With that, she injected the tube of her own blood into the soldier’s vein. Without a blood transfusion, he wouldn’t survive. She couldn’t let anyone die.

As she prepared to draw more blood, her hand was stopped by another.

It was Gu Ning.

Tang Yuxin stopped and looked up. Gu Ning rolled up his own sleeve, “I’m also Type O, draw from me.”

Soon, a few more soldiers came over, revealing their arms.

“I’m O type too. Draw from me.”

“Take more, I’m not afraid, my body is strong.”

“Doctor, don’t draw from yourself anymore. If something happens to you, what about our comrades? They’re all waiting for you to save them.”

Tang Yuxin laid down the syringe and looked at the frozen faces. She grabbed Gu Ning’s arm, disinfected the area and drew blood. She then required more soldiers to transfuse blood into the wounded man’s body.

After several blood transfusions, his face got better and his breathing rate became much more normal.

Tang Yuxin got up and went to help someone else. Despite her pleas for caution, there were still over a dozen injured people and another seven or eight critical cases. All those who were critically injured had fractures, cerebral hemorrhages, and internal bleeding. Transfusions of Type O blood were given to keep them alive in this freezing weather.

The soldiers were carefully moved into a group, forming a human wall to keep them safe. The snow was still falling and daylight was just beginning to break.

But the snow kept falling, and they kept waiting.

Shouts from a distance could be heard, crowd members cleared the snow from the road allowing the vehicles, including buses, to make a path for the ambulance.
