Chapter 659: Boss, Are You Sure?

Zhao Yunlong was in the distance, checking what had been brought over.

Other than a small amount of food and water, it mostly consisted of medical supplies and some tools to clean up debris.

A helicopter could only transport a limited amount of goods so it was obvious they needed to make a choice of what was more important.

One day without drinking water or eating would not kill anyone. Besides, there were thousands of survivors in the town. If they were to transport water and food for everyone, it would take up too many resources.

Zheng Ren’s roar came from the rescue team while they were busy taking inventory and distributing tools.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Yunlong did not even look at Zheng Ren and answered with a roar.

Zheng Ren only wanted to know where Zhao Yunlong was. He followed the sound and made his way through the white curtain of rain.

“Chief Zhao, I just heard that a doctor and a nurse were rescued. Where are they?”

Zhao Yunlong pointed to a place not far away where a man and a woman were busy with the other rescue team members.

Zheng Ren walked over and asked, “Are you guys from Nanchuan Town Hospital?”

The male doctor raised his head and looked at Zheng Ren as he adjusted his gla.s.ses. The lenses were washed clean by the rain but he could not see anything clearly.

He took off his gla.s.ses and wiped them clean with all his strength. “I am, and you are…”

“I heard that the place where you were saved is the hospital’s radiology department? Do you have a machine?” Zheng Ren asked.

“A machine…” The male doctor was stunned.

In this situation, who cared about whether there was a machine or not. Even if there was a machine, there was no electricity.

“Is there one?” Zheng Ren saw that he was stunned, so he asked again.

“There is a gastrointestinal machine. I don’t know if it’s broken or not.” The male doctor thought of the room. It was surrounded by lead plates. The support was relatively strong, so there was a possibility that it was still working.

Because the earthquake was particularly strong, the doctor was not sure whether the machine was still intact and if it could even be used.

“Take me to take a look,” Zheng Ren said.

“Boss, don’t tell me you want to do interventional surgery under such circ.u.mstances?” Su Yun asked as he glanced at Zheng Ren.

“Patients with severe pelvic fractures need the bleeding to be stopped. Those with necrosis of the lower limbs need to have their limbs amputated,” Zheng Ren said.

Su Yun was puzzled but when he thought about it more, he immediately realized what Zheng Ren wanted to do.

“You’re not going to remove the suppository, are you?” Su Yun was surprised.

“That’s the idea but I don’t know if I can do it,” Zheng Ren said.

Su Yun suddenly became spirited, sparking some glimmer of life in his eyes. He stretched out a finger.

“We’ve done a lot of pelvic fractures in Sea City. But there are a few questions about removing the suppository. First, after removing the suppository, ischemia and reperfusion will result in a large amount of necrotic tissue toxins entering the blood, causing the patient to have acute kidney failure. What are you going to do about that?”

Zheng Ren’s lips moved. Just as he was about to speak, Su Yun shook his finger and stretched out a second finger. “Second, I remember that the removal of the emboli has to be done in six hours. The latest is twelve to twenty-four hours tops. What will you do? We have the personnel, equipment, and medical supplies but do you have a clear idea of how to do things?”

Zheng Ren shook his head. “I’ve thought about this. The time limit you mentioned is for nerve intervention to remove the emboli. There aren’t so many restrictions for limb vascular intervention. Old emboli can also be removed. You… Vascular intervention is relatively unpopular. It’s normal that you don’t know about it. Second, you’re asking a multiple-choice question. The amputation is 10 centimeters less and after surgery, you have to do 10 more days of dialysis. Which treatment would you choose?”

Su Yun wiped the rainwater off his face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Zheng Ren’s lack of understanding of vascular intervention.

However, the medical branch was complicated and trivial. Su Yun…would only know about it after he had seen it. If he did not have the chance to see it, he would not know about it either.

Not even a genius like Su Yun knew these things naturally.

“A kidney physician will definitely be one of the most important specialists after a large number of injured patients are rescued. The number of acute kidney failures will be extremely shocking. However, there is no need to use everyone’s peritoneal dialysis equipment to report to the frontline headquarters. Mobilize equipment and personnel to prevent this from advancing. The number of patients with kidney failure that might be caused by the removal of the thrombus is small. It won’t cause a change in quant.i.ty. We just need to pay more attention to it.” Zheng Ren clearly had a comprehensive plan.

“Equipment, medical supplies… Do you think we need to worry about this? As long as we can deal with them in the next few days, everything will be fine,” Zheng Ren said as he pointed to the air.

Su Yun realized what Zheng Ren was talking about.

In this kind of weather, driving the helicopter to land and deliver supplies recklessly would probably make the eyes of the people behind them redden.

Those young pilots who did not have enough experience and were unable to find the landing point with the slightest clue were probably banging their heads against the wall right now.

Moreover… The Imperial Capital doctors had traveled thousands of miles to come here in less than 24 hours. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the country’s entire strength.

There was really no need to worry about just a few little medical supplies.

Su Yun smiled and said, “Boss, are you trying to get the vascular intervention done over here as well?”

“Isn’t it an emergency? When we go back, we still have to focus on the TIPS surgery and the interventional treatment of liver cancer.” Zheng Ren also smiled and looked at the sky. He did not know when the next batch of rescue helicopters would arrive.

The junior doctor of Nanchuan Town did not understand what the two of them were saying. He just brought Zheng Ren and Su Yun to the hospital.

The hospital was located southwest of the town’s central square, only a few hundred meters away. Normally, it would take a few minutes to reach but after the earthquake, they had to walk through the ruins for more than ten minutes before they arrived.

The three-story-tall town hospital had become a small second floor, and the first floor had become a bas.e.m.e.nt. The entire building was slanted and on the verge of collapse.

“This side is the radiology department. There’s a gastrointestinal machine inside,” the junior doctor said as he brought Zheng Ren and Su Yun to the side of the collapsing building and found a ventilation window.

The place was originally piled with rubble. After the rescue team dug it up, they expanded the ventilation window and saved the two of them.

Su Yun held a flashlight and turned it on. A beam of light shone inside.

A simple gastrointestinal machine appeared in front of him in good condition.

It looked like it was fine. The only problem was getting a functional power supply.

“Boss, it looks fine, but this is the place…” Su Yun raised his head and looked at the building that was in danger. His heart was beating fast.

Interventional surgery was to be performed here? Putting aside the simple and crude equipment like the gastrointestinal machine, it could only be seen from the shadows. It could not be compared to the specialized Siemen’s double c-arm machine.

Even if Zheng Ren’s skill level was high enough to use the gastrointestinal machine to perform interventional surgery—which was quite difficult normally—but…this building… As long as there was a strong aftershock, it could completely collapse.

This was not a freaking surgery, this was courting death!

“It looks alright. Go find Zhao Yunlong.” Zheng Ren was more than satisfied. The gastrointestinal machine was placed there and supported by the lead wall. It had not been damaged by the hospital building’s collapse.

It could definitely be used. They just needed to connect the power source and testing the machine. If it was possible, they would perform the surgery to remove the suppository of the patients whose limbs were necrotic. The second stage of amputation would naturally be performed by the doctors from Huaxi and the Provincial Capital Hospital.

“Boss, are you sure?” Su Yun turned his hand, letting the bright light beam of the flashlight s.h.i.+ne in Zheng Ren’s face.
