Sun Lien wanted to explain. In his opinion, although Song Hualin's injury was serious, he really did not need to explain his funeral now. The patient with a spinal fracture who died in the fourth hospital was already unconscious when he was sent to the hospital. He was very unconscious.
Obviously, when he fractured his axis, the tail end of his medulla oblongata had already been damaged. It was also because of this that his condition took a turn for the worse within twenty minutes after being admitted to the hospital, and he suddenly lost breathing and heartbeat.
Song Hualin's status column only showed a fracture of the axis. There was no indication of medulla bulbar injury or neurological damage. Although there was no further examination, looking at Song Hualin's relatively steady breathing and the energy to speak clearly and neatly, it is possible that his nervous system was not damaged at all.
No matter what kind of injury he suffered, as long as he can be sent to the hospital safely, the broken axis will be inspected to determine the fracture condition and then internally fixed, or simply replaced. It won't take long for him to be discharged from the hospital. Of course, the prerequisite
The condition is that his thoracic and lumbar spine injuries will not cause high paraplegia.
"Doctor Sun." Dr. Pascal lowered his head and got into the car. He saw Song Hualin lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face, and Sun Lien wearing only a T-shirt. "How is the situation?"
"I'm okay." Sun Lien rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, "The patient's condition is not particularly good. There are fractures in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, and there may be a few broken ribs..." He pointed to the ups and downs on Song Hualin's chest and said
, "Although it's not quite a flail chest, it's not much different."
The symptom of "flail chest" refers to the softening of the chest that occurs as the patient breathes after multiple rib fractures. The chest sinks in when inhaling and protrudes when exhaling, which is exactly the opposite of the chest rise and fall during normal breathing.
It is one of the very dangerous symptoms in emergency trauma. It may even induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The clinical mortality rate is about 10%.
"Fail chest?" No matter how good Dr. Pascal's Chinese is, he is still a little overwhelmed when faced with professional vocabulary. But he also saw signs of abnormal rise and fall of Song Hualin's chest. "How is his consciousness? Does he have symptoms of hypoxia?
?”
Sun Lien shook his head and asked directly to Song Hualin, "Mr. Song, how do you feel?"
"It sucks." Song Hualin seemed to feel a lot more relaxed after making the call. "Want to know how I feel now? How about you switch with me?"
Sun Lien laughed and said to Dr. Pascal, "It seems that his condition is not bad, and he is still in the mood to joke with me."
Pascal walked up to Sun Lien, took off his wool coat and lent it to him. "The condition of the other wounded is not bad, there may be a few minor concussions. Except for the young woman who was sent out just now, they are all in stable condition.
."
"Did you call an ambulance?" Sun Lien was more concerned about the situation and transfer status of the two seriously injured people than those who had been diagnosed by the status bar. "The fire brigade has to come too. Mr. Song will definitely not be able to get out in this state.
, the only way is to let the fire brigade come and saw the car apart."
"Rachel has already called." Dr. Pascal was wearing a thin woolen sweater underneath, but he didn't seem to be cold at all. He said calmly, "Rachel received a call just now. Tongxie Hospital
The emergency department is ready. All emergency doctors and master's students are gathered in the hospital and are on standby, waiting for ambulances to transport the injured."
"There's no helicopter?" Sun Lien scratched his head. He had seen many air ambulance transfers in the Fourth Hospital. Normally, for such a serious accident, the capital's first aid resources must be richer than Ningyuan's, so it stands to reason that there should be helicopters as well.
Rescue is the right thing.
"Neither of these two seriously injured patients can be transported by helicopter." Dr. Pascal was experienced and pointed out the crux of the problem immediately. "Spinal fractures or dislocations may lead to... leading to... an increase in the pressure of the cerebro-spinal fluid."
He couldn't remember how to say cerebrospinal fluid in Chinese. "Changes in air pressure may cause cerebro-spinal fluid pressure to be greater."
Sun Lien said embarrassedly, "I really didn't expect this." He said to Song Hualin, "Mr. Song, I originally thought I could let you take a helicopter, but it seems that this wish cannot be realized."
"It's okay not to take a plane." Sun Lien joked, and Song Hualin was also very open-minded in joking, "I just got off the plane, and it would be too strenuous to have to fly again in such a short time. There is no first class in the helicopter."
In-cabin service, there are no beautiful stewardesses for me to see.”
"How are you feeling?" Dr. Pascal was a little surprised by the atmosphere of the conversation in the car. He was a little worried that this excessive optimism might be a symptom. "Are you feeling dizzy?"
"I'm not dizzy. It just... hurts. I feel like my neck is about to break." Song Hualin looked at Dr. Pascal, and then said in surprise, "Your Chinese is really good."
Sun Lien added, "Your neck is not about to break, they are already broken." He said seriously to Song Hualin, "You are very lucky. You can still speak even with a broken neck, which shows that your central nervous system is not functioning properly.
The damage was too severe. So don’t think that you are going to see the King of Hell soon, stay positive and optimistic.”
Song Hualin agreed, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "It just hurts too much. This feeling is really annoying." Sweat began to appear on his forehead, "Can I wipe the sweat with my hand?"
"No!" Sun Lien and Dr. Pascal drank together to stop his thoughts. Sun Lien quickly took out a pack of tissues from his pants pocket, "Just lie down and don't move, I will wipe your sweat."
Song Hualin's axis has been fractured. Although it is not certain what type of fracture it is, his spinal cord and the tail end of his medulla oblongata are probably in a state without the protection of hard bones. Sun Lien did not want to see Song Hualin's movements when wiping sweat.
Twist your own spinal cord!
Sun Lien held the tissue in his hand, and he gently used one corner to wipe off the sweat on Song Hualin's head. Pascal was taller than Sun Lien, and the sleeves of his woolen coat couldn't stop sliding down after he put it on Sun Lien.
, Sun Lien wiped it twice and found that the clothes were in the way, so he simply took off the coat again.
"Beep~dirty~drip~dirty!" The siren gradually sounded outside. Sun Lien suddenly became energetic, "The ambulance is coming!"
Many people may not have noticed, but in fact the sirens used by the three common special vehicles are all different. The sirens of fire trucks have longer intervals, ranging from bass to treble, and then lower the pitch back.
It sounds like a prolonged "Ouch~~~~". A complete warning sound lasts for about three seconds. The ambulance only has two tones, one high and one low, playing back and forth at a medium speed. It sounds like
It was the sound of "drip~dir~drip~dirty". The police car's warning sound had a much higher frequency. Although it was also one high and one low, it sounded like one sound.
Sun Lien had long been accustomed to hearing the sound of ambulances in the hospital, and now he immediately recognized it. He quickly stood up, put Dr. Pascal's coat on Song Hualin's body, and jumped out of the carriage.
go out.
After getting out of the carriage, Sun Lien saw the outside. The traffic jam blocked by the bus had been blocked for at least two kilometers. Only an emergency lane near the guardrail was left for ambulances and rescue vehicles to pass. Sun Lien saw
Looking at the ambulance speeding in the emergency lane, I nodded happily because the people in the capital are of high quality! Looking at it, there was not a single car occupying the emergency lane.
The ambulance flashed blue lights and quickly drove to the side of the overturned bus. Five doctors jumped out of the car. They were all wearing white coats, masks and gloves. This was somewhat beyond Sun Lien's expectation. Normally,
For example, there are only three people in an ambulance. A pre-hospital emergency doctor, a stretcher bearer, and a driver. There are five doctors in the car, which means that when this car drives over, I am afraid that even
There were people sitting on the stretchers.
"Everyone give way, everyone give way!" A doctor waved to the cars around him, and then he and another doctor pushed the stretcher and ran toward the bus. "What do you do? Come down quickly!"
The doctor who waved at the beginning shouted angrily at Sun Lien, "What are you doing climbing up there? Do you think you are Superman? Why didn't I see you wearing your red underwear?"
Sun Lien was amused. He took out his ID card from his pants pocket and said, "I am a doctor, here to save people." He pointed to the black MPV in the distance, "We are from Ningyuan Fourth Central Hospital.
, came to Beijing on a business trip.”
The doctors who came with the car looked back suspiciously and asked, "Is there anyone else in the car?"
"There is another injured person. He may have a cervical vertebra fracture, as well as problems with his thoracic vertebrae and ribs." Sun Lien pointed to the overturned bus, "It's useless for you to come in now. The wounded inside will have to wait until the fire department arrives.
"
Several doctors discussed with each other and decided to go first to see the other injured people who had been transported out. The doctor who accused Sun Lien of not wearing underwear climbed up along the chassis of the bus carrying the medicine box.
"The patient is in the car? Let me go and take a look." He acted decisively and climbed neatly. He only said this to Sun Lien, then leaned over and got into the car. When he landed and stood still, he saw Dr. Pascal.
He was startled for a moment, "Should I go? Why is there a foreigner here?"
"Hello, doctor." Dr. Pascal seemed to have gotten used to it. He smiled gently and replied in fluent Chinese, "Hello, I am Pascal. I am also a doctor."
The doctor in the ambulance looked at Pascal in surprise, and then at Sun Lien, "Is this really a meeting with the doctor?" He muttered to himself, then walked to Song Hualin and asked, "Hey,
Brother, wake up, hey! Don't move around when I tell you to wake up. Do you know where you are? Do you know who you are?"
"Your voice is much harsher than the two doctors just now." Song Hualin groaned, and then said dissatisfied, "My name is Song Hualin, and I came to the capital from Shanghai for business. Unfortunately, the car I was riding in overturned.
My neck is broken, and my waist may also be broken. The doctor just said that I can't die, but I think he is lying to me." Song Hualin paused and continued, "If you can discuss it with those two doctors,
I'd be grateful if you didn't come over and yell at me."
