Chapter 53: The Thing in the Banyan Tree
"It's you...... Something in the banyan tree...... Leave me alone......"
The patient who was fixed on the stretcher cried out in pain, and suddenly began to cry aloud, all anger and confusion were gone, and only the fear of death and the humility of survival were left on his distorted face: "Please, I don't want to die...... Leave me alone......"
Gu Jun frowned deeply, why did he seem to have seen me?
Could it be that he is the person on the other end of the phone in Gurong Village? No, Gurong Village should have been emptied and quarantined a long time ago, and the population would not be so large.
"Go away." The female nurse rushed over and very skillfully pushed the patient away, these nurses were all wearing walkie-talkie headsets, and she reported to the command center as she pushed away: "Orthopedics, patient 128 is in a state of delirium and is suspected to be transitioning to a mourning phase. ”
"Oops......" Zhou Jiaqiang muttered, and explained to the somewhat stunned interns: "This patient has to be operated on immediately, and there is no way to save it when it comes to the period of mourning." Talking nonsense is a symptom of the patient's beginning to transform, and it is common to mention 'something in the banyan tree', I don't know what it means. ”
Gu Jun suddenly remembered that the voice on the other end of the phone also said "something in the banyan tree", but he didn't say "it's you", so he asked: "Brother Qiang, will they all say 'it's you' to others like this?" ”
"This seems to be...... It's the first time I've seen it. Zhou Jiaqiang didn't care much, "Delirium is a delusion that produces fragmentary delusions due to delusions and hallucinations, and then is emotionally disturbed, let's go." ”
They continued to walk forward, and Gu Jun followed and asked, "Brother Qiang, where did this group of patients come from?" Is it different from the banyan tree in the competition? ”
"You know I can't say that, and I don't know." Zhou Jiaqiang said solemnly, "Let's do our clinical work first and save people." ”
But before they could finish the long corridor, another patient suddenly became delirious and shouted at them uncontrollably: "Things in the banyan tree, don't come here...... Leave me alone, don't ...... Stuff in the banyan tree ......"
Suddenly, another nurse rushed to exclaim, "Patient No. 143 has delirium!" ”
"It's weird." Zhou Jiaqiang scratched his face in distress, "This batch of patients has just arrived at the second stage, it shouldn't be so fast, how can it be a few days to ......?"
Everyone's faces sank. And Gu Jun's mood was the most messy, it seemed that he had inadvertently made eye contact with patient No. 143 just now, and the patient started to go crazy...... As if he had seen him, the "things in the banyan tree" were referring to him again......
Gu Jun pressed his aching head, and the feeling of restlessness became even stronger, as if there was an illusion that was about to be triggered at any time.
Is the direct link to the hallucinations to these people with metaficus disease? But there is a similar scenario missing......
"Gu Jun, are you okay?" Wang Ruoxiang asked softly, but saw that his face was pale. She was a little strange, Gu Jun was not so small.
"It's nothing...... Gu Jun's voice was hoarse, "Seeing them like this, I feel a little uncomfortable." "That's really his mood.
"Me too." Wang Ruoxiang pursed her lips, "I hope I can do something." ”
Brother Qiang told them not to stop, and soon arrived at a huge office after walking all the way, where there was already a lot of commotion, everyone was disrupted by the two patients whose condition suddenly worsened, and the two groups of people needed to act immediately.
However, in such an emergency situation, it is natural that the operation is performed by a team of experienced and skilled veterans.
Zhou Jiaqiang handed over the five interns to the miscellaneous nurses in different groups to take them, and he went to work himself. And the five followed their respective nurses to report.
Only then did Gu Jun know that he had joined Dr. Zhu Ruiwen's group, and he followed the miscellaneous nurse to the group's rest room, locker room, and operating room to take a look and familiarize himself with the place first.
In the group's single room, Gu Jun met the chief surgeon Zhu Ruiwen, a kind middle-aged man; There are also anesthesiologists Yan Haizhe and Zeng Jianguo, both of whom are very kind-hearted; Sanzhu is a young man of the same age who has just turned into a regular G-class personnel, Li Hualong.
But unlike them, who were selected by the competition, Li Hualong entered the Tianji Bureau after finding a hospital internship like Brother Qiang, and came out of regular training. Li Hualong was also very polite to him, but a little too polite. It is not difficult for Gu Jun to guess the reason, he came late but became the second assistant first, Li Hualong was arrogant and a little complaining.
But now there is something more important, both of them focused on listening to Team Leader Zhu's talk about the surgical plan for patient No. 25 in the first operation in the afternoon.
It was also at this time that Gu Jun heard a situation that made his heart pinch immediately, "It's just local anesthesia!?" He exclaimed.
"Yes." Zhu Ruiwen's face is only serious, "The amputation of patients with Banyan disease cannot be done under general anesthesia, otherwise the patient is prone to acute heart failure during the operation, and the failure rate of the operation will be higher, and more than 80% of patients with general anesthesia will have complete loss of consciousness even if they can wake up...... So we can only give the patient a local anesthetic. ”
Gu Jun was the only one in the office who knew for the first time, and the only one who couldn't speak at this time.
Professor Qin only said that the patients in the second stage could be saved, but did not say what the success rate of the operation was, giving them the illusion of 100% success......
But...... Scapular girdle dissection, which is commonly referred to as sawing off part of the entire hand attached to the shoulder, is expected to last three hours.
Local anesthesia.
This time, it seems to be going back to the barbaric and bloody era before human beings ran out of anesthetics.
"It's going to test the patient's will." Zhu Ruiwen said with encouragement, "But it will test our will even more." ”
Gu Jun nodded silently, but his face was still very poor. Li Hualong didn't take the opportunity to talk about him at this time, but patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "It's okay, the 76% success rate of local anesthesia is very high." Gu Jun is grateful for this, this person is not bad, and he thinks about it, it is not easy to pass the level of the review department.
He had just gotten to know everyone and understood today's surgery plan, and he had a boxed lunch in the lounge at noon, and the first operation was almost about to begin.
Gu Jun followed Zhu Ruiwen and the others to the locker room for disinfection and changed into sterile equipment, which was no different from the preparation process for ordinary surgery.
However, it is impossible for the ordinary operating room to still hear the patient's screams at this time: "Ah...... It hurts......"
"Whew, whew." Gu Jun followed a few people out of the locker room and walked to the open door of the operating room next to him, the peculiar smell of the deformity of the ficus disease in the air continued to stimulate his nose through the mask, and his head hurt a little again.
The spacious and bright operating room is fully equipped, a male patient has been lying on the operating table in the lateral decubitus position, connected to various instruments such as ventilators and anesthesia monitors, and the trunk and normal limbs are completely encircled by a special leather whole body stable, leaving only the left upper limb on the affected side facing upwards exposed, deformed and distorted.
Zhu Ruiwen took the lead in walking to the position of the chief surgeon, and anesthesiologist Yan Haizhe sat at the anesthesia machine one step earlier and stared at the data of various indicators.
"Help......" The patient was constantly struggling, crying and screaming.
Gu Jun could feel that his psychological pressure was rising rapidly, even though he had already experienced some things and had a calm hand, the blood in his whole body still seemed to be coagulating. This operating room pulls him back to the barbaric and bloody era before humans had no anesthetics.
In comparison, the canine thoracotomy operating room he operated in the morning was like a child's house.
"Let's all take their places." Zhu Ruiwen came to the right side of the patient and sat down, the first assistant Zeng Jianguo was opposite the main knife, Gu Jun stood on the side below the main knife, and the third assistant Li Hualong stood opposite him. Several nurses, such as instrument nurses and itinerant nurses, are also busy.
"You ......" The patient on the operating table turned his head to look at them, saw something, and suddenly panicked and exclaimed: "Something in the banyan tree!" No, don't ......"
Gu Jun was very sure this time that the patient would ...... after making eye contact with him
No. 128, No. 143, No. 25...... Three patients, why, why it seems like I'm going to accelerate the progression of their condition, why!
Gu Jun's heart fell into a blank, something blocked his throat, and it was very uncomfortable...... My head started to hurt again, cracking......
And in front of his eyes, the illusion of light and shadow appeared again after half a month, the scene of the surrounding operating room was rapidly disappearing, and for a few moments he couldn't even hear the screams of the patients, he fell into the illusion, and the strange light and shadow gradually became real......
He seemed to have come to the side of an ancient huge banyan tree, and around him, one after another figures knelt on the ground and worshiped the banyan tree.
