Chapter 304: The Wounded
On the third day, Shulka was able to get out of bed and walk.
In fact, Shulka was able to get out of bed and walk from the beginning, but Andreusa insisted on it for fear of the wound rupture, and in order to prevent Shulka from unconsciously turning over while asleep, she also used several ridiculous wooden frames to fix Shulka's head and shoulders, which made Shulka feel very twisted.
However, as a patient, Shulka thinks that it is better for him to obediently listen to the doctors and nurses, this is a place where there is no need and no need to be a hero.
So Andreusa changed Shulka gauze and took medicine, during which Dr. Anatoly also came twice, and he said to Shulka: "The wound is recovering well, Comrade Shulka, but I think you should stay in the hospital for a while, because you are not in a good situation to go to war right away!" ”
For a wounded, that's what he likes to hear the most.
However, Shulka believes that if other people had recovered to Shulka's level, they would have been kicked out of the hospital long ago, at least they would not have stayed in this single ward to be cared for.
Although the hospital room was comfortable, it had been a long time since Shulka had been in bed for two days in a row like he was now.
So, when Andreusa told Shulka that he could get out of bed, Shulka immediately rolled out of bed.
"You should slow down, Comrade Shulka!" Andreusa warned: "I don't think you want me to go back!" ”
"Okay, Comrade Andreusa!" Shulka replied.
In fact, he knew that he was wrong right away, because the moment he got up, there was a tingling pain in the back of his neck, and his head was also dizzy.
There was nowhere to walk in the hospital, the temperature outside was very low, and Shulka could feel the cold outside through the window.
Shulka could only move between the hallways and the upstairs and downstairs, and when passing through the ward, the wounded on both sides would always get up to greet Shulka and cast a respectful and envious look at Shulka.
Of course, there are also a considerable number of people who cannot stand up, and some patients are even unconscious.
Although Shulka was reluctant to admit it, the walk did not make Shulka feel better, but instead had a sense of depression.
On the one hand, because he was surrounded by wounded, and a considerable number of them were seriously injured, so the air was full of sadness, despair, helplessness, etc.
On the other hand, it was the sight of those who were much more seriously injured than Shulka huddled together, which made Shulka feel guilty.
Especially after that one thing happens......
"Comrade Shulka!" Just as Shulka was about to walk back to the room, Dr. Anatoly leaned out of the door of one of the rooms and called out to him, "Can you come and do me a favor?" ”
"Of course, doctor!" Shulka replied as he walked up.
But Shulka soon became nervous, as he discovered that the ward was actually an operating room...... He saw a horrific scene, a barrel in the corner filled with stumps or a blur of flesh that he didn't know which part it was.
Although Shulka has been on the battlefield for a long time, it can even be said that he crawled out of the pile of the dead...... He had been drawn from the corpses of the Germans before he was wounded, but it was still chilling to see the severed limbs and organs piled up one by one in this environment.
In the middle of the room lay a wounded man, who appeared to have been transferred from elsewhere, in a semi-unconscious state, and Dr. Anatoly and several nurses appeared to be preparing to operate on him.
Sure enough, Dr. Anatoly put on his gloves and said to Shulka: "I need you to hold him down with the nurses, Comrade Shulka!" ”
"Hold him down? Amputation? ”
"Yes!" Dr. Anatoly picked up scissors and expertly cut through the wounded's bandaged trousers, explaining: "He had been on the road for too long, his leg was necrotic, and I had to remove it immediately......"
"You mean to start with the wound?" Shulka looked at the injury with some horror, which was in the thigh, which meant that the entire leg would have to be removed.
"Yes!" Dr. Anatoly calmly replied: "We don't have enough people, and I'm worried that they won't be able to hold down the wounded, which will be dangerous for the operation, understand?" ”
"Yes, Dr. Anatoly!"
"Do you have no problem?" Dr. Anatoly asked again, pausing his movements and looking at Shulka, as if waiting for Shulka's answer.
This has two meanings:
The first is whether Shulka can bear it psychologically...... It's one thing to come down from the battlefield, it's another to watch an amputation on your eyes.
Second, Anatoly is worried about whether Shulka's body will recover to the extent that he can "help".
"No problem!" Shulka replied.
Shulka wasn't sure if he was up to the task, but he should have no hesitation at this point, because the soldier's life was in his hands.
"Good!" Anatoly replied, then ordered the nurse to tie the wounded to the operating table.
"What are you going to do?" At this time, the wounded man opened his eyes, and he looked at the nurse who was tying his hands and feet in a daze, and shouted, "Let go of me!" ”
"We'll have to amputate your legs, lad!" Dr. Anatoly told him bluntly.
"No, you can't do that!" The wounded shouted.
Ignoring the wounded, Dr. Anatoly raised his head at the table behind Shulka and said, "Wotga! ”
Shulka willingly took Waterga and handed it over.
"No!" Dr. Anatoly frowned and said, "Give him ......"
So Shulka understood that this waterga was not used by Dr. Anatoly to disinfect or sober up wounds, but to intoxicate the wounded or used as an anesthetic.
Shulka shulded inwardly.
The operation on his neck was performed with an anesthetic, and when it was time for the wounded to be amputated, he had to use Waterga.
But this was certainly not the time to discuss the matter, and Shulka handed the bottle to the wounded and said: "Come on, comrade! It's going to make you feel better! ”
"No, stay away from me!" The wounded cried out loudly: "I will not allow you to hold my leg ......"
"You're going to die!" Shulka said.
"Then I'll die!" The wounded replied: "What's the point of living without legs?" ”
"Listen!" Shulka grabbed the wounded man's neck and yelled at him: "It may be easy to die, but it is not easy to live, it depends on whether you choose to escape or face it bravely, if you choose to be a coward, no one will stop you!" ”
At that moment, the operating room suddenly fell silent, and even the wounded were stunned.
"Do you know who he is?" Dr. Anatoly said: "In front of you is Comrade Shulka, I think you must have heard his name!" ”
