Chapter 187: The Ambulance Appears
In the ink hospital!
Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao looked at the strange-looking carriage in front of them with a curious expression, and the four horses in front of the carriage stood side by side, which was strange because the carriage in front of them had four wheels.
"That's what you call an ambulance?"
Hua Yuan looked at the strange-looking carriage in front of him, turned his head and asked Merton.
"Not bad!" Merton nodded.
Looking at this four-wheeled carriage that gathered the efforts of all the craftsmen in Mojia Village, Merton's heart was filled with pride, this four-wheeled carriage was not as simple as the previous Quyuan plough or columb, and the technical difficulties encountered in it were simply countless.
Just solving the problem of the four-wheeled carriage turning made the Mo family embarrassed for a long time, so it has been delayed until now that the four-wheeled carriage was made.
"Four wheels?" Sun Simiao also looked at a strange-shaped carriage suspiciously, how it looked so heavy.
Now all the Tang Dynasty are two-wheeled carriages, but Merton from later generations really knows clearly that the four-wheeled carriage is the king, because the two-wheeled carriage has a small part of the power on the body of the ox and horse, while the four-wheeled carriage is not, the four wheels hit the ground and divide the weight equally, and it is enough for the ox and horse to have enough pull force to pull the wheels to run, which directly reduces the burden of the cow and horse.
The burden on cattle and horses is reduced, and the endurance of the cart is naturally extended.
"Old Sun, I don't know, although the two-wheeled carriage is light, it is too shaky, which is not conducive to the patient's condition, but the four-wheeled carriage is different, the driving is more stable, and the space is large enough!" Merton explained as he opened the back door of the carriage, and like the ambulances of later generations, Merton's ambulance was also driven from the back.
Merton pulled out a stretcher from the carriage and said, "The patient should not move around, but he should be lifted directly on the stretcher to avoid unnecessary secondary injuries caused by the patient's excessive movements." ”
"Stretcher!" Hua Yuan nodded, he is good at surgery, of course he knows how dangerous it is to move patients sometimes, and it is indeed necessary to have a stretcher.
"In addition to this, the ambulance needs to be equipped with a general practitioner, a nurse, and a driver. And all the necessary herbs! Merton asked Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan to act as physicians and assistants, and he lay there as patients.
"Not bad indeed!"
When Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan entered the carriage, they found that the space inside was very spacious, and a small space was almost used to the extreme.
Mo Dun also had good intentions, and specially asked Mo Wu to prepare all the items he usually used to save people, which made the second elder full of praise.
Having said that, after all, many modern first-aid equipment has not yet arrived at this time, so the most important first-aid method is to let the doctor arrive as quickly as possible.
"Drive!"
Tie'an, who acted as a coachman, skillfully drove the carriage.
"Herod!"
Four horses flew on all fours, and drove out of the ink hospital at a fast pace.
The carriage drove on the bluestone road on the streets of Chang'an City, and the three people in the carriage did not feel bumpy at all, you must know that this era is not a smooth cement asphalt road in later generations, and the wheels do not have the air tires of later generations, they are all solid wooden wheels.
"This is Uncle Zhang's latest achievement, shock suspension." Merton explained that it is a shock absorption facility, but it is actually a simplest curved iron sheet, which uses the principle of iron sheet tension to absorb shock.
Even so, it is only produced by concentrating the best steel in Mojia Village and using the best technology, after all, the steelmaking technology of this era is not up to par, and even the spring has not been solved.
"Fast and steady! Indeed, it is most conducive to the stability of the patient's condition and the realization of the purpose of first aid. Sun Simiao exclaimed.
"Tie'an be careful! This is a busy city, don't run so fast! Hua Yuan saw the regressing street behind him and reminded worriedly.
"Hua Lao rest assured! The car was designed to have brakes. Tie An said loudly outside.
"Brakes?" Hua Lao looked at Merton with a puzzled face.
"If the carriage is running and there is a sudden situation ahead, you can stop the carriage in time to avoid accidents!" Merton explained.
At this time, passing by a junction, Tie'an exclaimed, only to hear a piercing grinding sound, and the carriage stopped steadily.
"Brakes, it needs to be improved!" Merton sneered, it was too loud.
"It would be nice to be able to stop!" Hua Lao was not disappointed, he had seen too many cases of serious injuries in the carriage, even the sound was harsh than an accident, besides, saving people is like fighting a fire, the ambulance must be too fast, with this braking device, it will definitely be able to make the ambulance run with confidence.
At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the right, and a carriage was driving too fast, and it collided with the carriage in front, and the scene was chaotic.
"Someone is hurt! Bleeding!
"Help!"
………………
There was panic ahead, exclamations, and cries for help.
"Someone hurt? Get out of the car and check it out. Hua Lao Huo Ran got up and said, and Sun Simiao also followed.
The ambulance door opened, and Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao ran towards the scene of the accident with a first-aid kit, and behind them, Merton and Tie An followed closely with stretchers.
"Get out of the way, the doctors from the Ink Hospital are here!" Merton yelled when he saw that there was too much crowd of onlookers.
"The doctor from the Ink Hospital?"
The Mo Hospital represents the highest medical skills in Chang'an City, and with the doctors of the Mo Hospital, it represents the hope of life. When everyone heard this, they immediately got out of the way.
In the crowd, in front of the collapsed carriage, a middle-aged woman was wailing and crying with an unconscious strong man in her arms, and several wounded people were lying on the ground wailing, and blood was flowing on the ground.
"Doctor, you must save my father-in-law!"
The middle-aged woman heard the arrival of the doctor from the Mo Hospital and pleaded urgently.
"Don't worry, we'll do our best!" Hua Yuan said softly.
The two elders acted separately, Sun Simiao left you a lightly wounded person to bandage, and Hua Yuan focused on treating this unconscious strong man.
The two elders were both skilled doctors, and they quickly stopped the bleeding from the wound, and the strong man also woke up leisurely under the treatment of Hua Lao.
"Thank you, doctor!" The middle-aged woman thanked her repeatedly.
"His condition has only just stabilized and further treatment is needed." Hua Yuan said with a sigh of relief.
"Everything is at the doctor's command!" The middle-aged woman nodded hurriedly.
Merton and Tie'an teamed up to lift the strong man onto a stretcher and put him in an ambulance, followed by a middle-aged woman.
"Tie'an, open the way!" Merton shouted.
"Yes, young master!" Tie An responded.
The carriage turned, Tie An grabbed an iron whistle and blew it out vigorously, and in an instant, a sharp whistle sounded through the streets of Chang'an City.
Ambulances from later generations appeared in Chang'an City for the first time.
