"This one is okay, it is far away from the heart. This one is closer to the injured person's heart." Xie Wanying pointed to the direction of the two steel bars.
The meaning of this statement is that the steel bar that looks like a knife inserted into the injured person's chest from the front is very scary, but in fact it is not as dangerous as the steel bar inserted from the side of the chest wall under the armpit.
Sometimes the most dangerous things to the human body are like the tip of the iceberg on the sea level, which are not fully displayed to doctors.
Others observe her judgment.
Due to the poor visibility at the scene and the fact that the steel bars were submerged into the human body, it was impossible for the doctor's eyes to transform into CT machines and X-ray machines, so Dr. Liu did not think he could see it.
Dr. Liu called 120 and hoped to send more specialists to support this reason: the exposed part of the steel bar was too long and needed to be cut on site before the injured could be moved to the ambulance.
When cutting the steel bars, there is a fear that the patient's heart may be vibrated and die. The heart rate of the injured person is frightening to listen to.
Putting on the stethoscope earplugs she carried with her, Xie Wanying quickly placed the listening head on the chest surface of the wounded person and listened again.
"Doctor, how are you doing?" asked the worker standing next to him. "He is my cousin. He just got married last year and his wife is pregnant in my hometown. I took him out to work. Things happened so fast that I didn't have time to give his family a check.
Telephone."
Not being able to afford to die is a common story among patients who work as migrant workers. Since migrant workers bear the financial burden of the family, once something unexpected happens, the entire family will be destroyed.
The patient's cousin who spoke had red eyes and was about to cry. He wiped his eyes with his hands and waited eagerly for the doctor to say it was okay.
No doctor dared to say that he was fine with such a seriously injured patient. Dr. Liu turned his back and sighed, not wanting to offend his family members.
"There is a chance." Xie Wanying said.
Others turned to look at her.
Don’t think that the family just called the doctor to save the patient, but if the doctor can’t give a reasonable explanation, the patient’s family will not feel comforted, because they are afraid that the doctor is fooling him. The patient’s cousin was angry: “Really?”
"This steel bar with its head end close to the heart is stuck in the middle of the ribs and is tightly held by the intercostal ligament. If there is a chance of shearing, it will not cause secondary huge damage." Xie Wanying pointed out.
The patient's family members immediately let out a sigh of relief. Although they did not understand the doctor's professional terminology, as long as the doctor spoke clearly, it was clear that it was not nonsense.
Dr. Liu tilted his head. There was no X-ray machine at the scene and he couldn't tell with his eyes.
"Prepare to cut the steel bars." After making the judgment, Xie Wanying ordered.
The workers hurriedly went to find hydraulic shears.
The hydraulic shears will be brought soon. Workers, look at me and I look at you, no one dares to do anything.
When it comes to cutting steel bars for the injured, they are definitely not professional if they have never done it before. The professionals are firefighters.
Several workers were angry there: they called someone not only to call 120 but also to call 119 and call the police 110, but no one was called.
In this era, mobile phones were relatively expensive and not popular in China. Migrant workers working on construction sites were not willing to pay for mobile phones. If something happened, they had to ask the construction site management to make a call.
When people complained, management was late in coming.
"Manager Wang." The security guard followed the company leader and made a report, "They opened the iron door themselves and wanted to beat me."
When Manager Wang saw the expressions on the workers' faces, he turned around and criticized the security guard first: "Who asked you to stop the ambulance and save people?"
Didn't you ask me to do that? The security guard is suffocating.
"Lao Chen, don't worry. The doctor is here to see if there is any way to save Xiao Chen."
