Chapter 134: Impatient
The work in the afternoon was mainly to assist the victims in dealing with the aftermath of the victims' families, because the corpses were exposed to the air and left for a long time, which could easily induce epidemics.
In addition, Bai Qingxiu personally led several medical personnel to the resettlement camp to check on the victims there, and Qiao Xi also went with him.
The resettlement camp is located in a large open field, and thousands of victims are concentrated, almost all of whom have their families with them.
The victims were pitiful, and the floods left them homeless and loved ones overnight, and many of them asked for news of their missing family members as soon as they saw them.
The whereabouts of the missing people are unknown, and the survivors are anxious and panicked.
Rescuers can only do their best to actively search for the whereabouts of those people.
When they come here, these people will also ask them how the disaster is doing.
Bai Qingxiu, as the leader of the medical team, tried his best to reassure everyone.
"Fellow villagers, rest assured, our officers and soldiers are fighting day and night, making all-out search and rescue, and as long as there is a glimmer of life, they will not give up. What you need is to wait patiently, and our medical team will also provide you with medical protection. If you feel unwell, you can go to the medical team for treatment. ”
They set up simple tables and chairs in the camp, and soon all the people who were not feeling well came to see them.
During the examination, Bai Qingxiu observed that after the flood, some skin diseases also broke out.
The victims' lower limbs were soaked in sewage for a long time, and their hands were often exposed to sewage, which could easily lead to diseases such as impregnated dermatitis, ringworm of the hands and feet, and skin infections.
Many people in the camp have contracted a skin disease that causes erythema, mostly on the lower legs and face.
Based on the patient's description, several symptoms can be summarized.
First, the patient will have symptoms such as sudden fever, chills, feeling unwell and nausea.
Second, the patient's skin appears erythema, and the area is gradually expanding, the affected area is warm, the epidermis is tense and burning, and there are induration and non-pitting edema, and even lymphadenopathy is enlarged.
As a general practitioner, Bai Qingxiu was quick to conclude that it was a skin disease called erysipelas, an infection involving the superficial lymphatic vessels of the dermis.
His treatment was to treat the skin disease with antimicrobial drugs, compression therapy, and physical therapy.
When Bai Qingxiu was treating a patient, Qiao Xi stood aside and recorded the patient's symptoms and countermeasures in a small notebook, which are all good examples in practice, which is conducive to helping her improve her clinical experience.
After a busy afternoon, Qiao Xi received a lot of knowledge about practicing medicine after seeing a doctor for the victims in the resettlement camp.
At the same time, through acupuncture, he also treated patients with other diseases, and when the medical team finished work, Qiao Xi accumulated another 120 blessing points.
As far as the eye can see, the floodwaters on all sides have receded, and the drainage and epidemic prevention work is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner.
I heard that so far, the dam embankment has been blocked, and the rescue officers and soldiers are still doing the final reinforcement work.
As it got dark, they returned to the medical team's station.
The bodies of the five victims were brought back here, and the families of the victims who had been contacted were crying around the corpses, and the scene was so sad.
When those family members heard about Yao'er's rescue, and when they saw Bai Qingxiu coming back, they all cried and knelt down to beg him, begging him to save their family.
"Doctor, please save my mother!" A man knelt down and kowtowed.
"Divine doctor, please save my son too." An aunt also knelt down.
The others followed suit, and they all knelt down and begged.
