Under Pan Gui's reprimand, the ambulance of the Huangpi District Hospital had to take the patient to the Provincial People's Hospital. Sirens whistled into Hankou and crossed the Yangtze River Bridge.
The space in this ambulance is not as large as our hospital ambulance, Professor Zheng stuffed the phone into my hand, and began to check on Qingqing, Pangui was invited by the nurse to stay near the back door, I couldn't help but look at Qingqing, she was pale, her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing an oxygen mask on her face.
The phone vibrated suddenly, and I hurriedly took it out and asked Professor Zheng to check it out.
"There's a call coming in, you can answer it for me!" Professor Zheng, who was busy, instructed me.
But I don't know how to answer? Before, I didn't even know what a mobile phone was, let alone how to use it, so I had to ask Pan Gui for help, but he didn't know it.
The doctor from the district hospital gave us both a disdainful look, and then signaled, "Press the green button and you're ready to answer!" ”
I found the green button on the microphone logo, and when I pressed it, I heard Zheng Xiumin's questioning voice coming from inside: "Uncle, where are you?" Why can't I see the ambulance? ”
"Talk to your phone and she'll be able to hear it!" Professor Zheng ordered.
I hurriedly put my phone in front of me and said, "Sergeant Zheng, we are already rushing in the direction of the provincial hospital, where are you?" ”
There was a cacophony in the microphone, and I was relieved when I saw the Jaguar SUV in front of me.
"Master, keep up with the black off-road vehicle in front!" I said to the ambulance driver.
The ambulance walked through the street, crossed the alley, followed the off-road vehicle, and soon drove into the gate of the Provincial People's Hospital, the off-road vehicle stopped directly at the entrance of the ward building, Zheng Xiumin and the old Taoist priest opened the door and rushed over, I hurriedly put the mobile phone in my pocket and opened the back door of the ambulance.
I jumped out of the car with Pan Gui, and saw Zheng Xiumin still holding a mobile phone in his hand and making a call.
Soon a stretcher cart was pushed out of the lobby of the ward building, and a doctor wearing a mask and a white coat waved to us, and Zheng Xiumin rushed over and instructed me and Pan Gui: "Quickly move the patient to the trolley!" ”
The two of us worked together to move Qingqing to the trolley, and Professor Cheng greeted the doctor and ordered us to push the patient to the lobby of the ward.
The doctor in the ambulance chased us out and asked, "Who will pay for our departure and rescue expenses?" ”
Zheng Xiumin frowned, and then instructed the old Taoist: "Old Tan, you deal with it!" ”
We followed the doctor to push the patient into the elevator, and Professor Zheng introduced to the doctor: "The patient had a cranial infection caused by acute meningitis, and at the most severe time, he had become a vegetative person, but suddenly he got better and was able to walk on the ground, but he lost his memory, and now he suddenly became ill again!" ”
As he spoke, the elevator sped up to the upper floors and stopped on the 24th floor.
The expert from the provincial hospital, surnamed Hong and Chang Shan, said to Professor Zheng: "I personally recommend that the patient be immediately underwent a craniotomy to find out the patient's intracranial lesions and reduce the patient's intracranial pressure!" ”
The twenty-fourth floor is the operating room, and Hong Changshan said to the nurses here: "Nurse An, prepare for craniotomy!" ”
The nurse pushed Qingqing into the operating room with the nurse just now, and Fatepangui and I stayed outside to wait.
Professor Zheng hurriedly introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is my niece Zheng Xiumin, she is a doctor in the Luoyang Military Region, responsible for treating and protecting the safety of patients; This is Dr. Yuan Chenghua from the emergency department of Luoyang Mine Hospital, and he needs to enter the operating room with us! ”
Hong Changshan nodded and said to Pan Gui: "You are a family member of the patient, right?" ”
Pan Gui nodded nervously in response, and then looked at me.
"You stay outside the operating room and wait for news, and a nurse will take you to the patient's hospitalization!" Dr. Hong explained, and then said to me and Zheng Xiumin: "Let's hurry up and disinfect and get ready to go to the operating table!" ”
Pan Gui hurriedly grabbed me and said in a low voice, "Doctor Yuan, do you have any money with you?" ”
I immediately understood, and hurriedly took out a thousand yuan from the pocket of the winter jacket and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "I came in a hurry this time, and I only brought so much money with me!" ”
Seeing this, Zheng Xiumin immediately said: "Comrade Pangui, you don't have to worry about the cost of the patient's hospitalization, we will be responsible!" ”
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and was about to return the money to me, but Zheng Xiumin had already dragged me into the disinfection room.
When I was working in the emergency department of the mine hospital, I also followed Dr. Min to the operating table several times, and the disinfection procedures were very complicated and strict, so I could only watch Professor Zheng and Dr. Hong and follow their steps.
A nurse took our coats first, and the two specialists in charge of the surgery stripped off only their vests, and then completely immersed their arms in a tin bucket containing iodine to disinfect them.
Zheng Xiumin and I only took off our winter jackets, then pulled the sleeves of our warm clothes up to the top of our elbows and soaked them in a disinfectant bucket.
The nurse in charge of the operation read aloud: "Patient: Pan Qingqing." Symptoms: Acute meningitis causes increased intracranial pressure, name of surgery: craniotomy. Chief Knife: Hong Changshan, Zheng Xuezhong, Assistant: Zheng Xiumin, Nurse: Yin Runrun, Auxiliary: Yuan Chenghua! ”
After the sterilization was completed, the nurse put on dark green surgical gowns and surgical caps of the same color for all the people participating in the operation, and I followed them into the operating room.
The air conditioner in the operating room was on, not very cold, but it was quiet inside, only the ticking of instruments.
Qingqing was lying on the operating table, and a nurse next to her was doing a preoperative examination for her.
"The plasma is ready, the patient is in stable condition, and he is ready for surgery!" Nurse Yin Runrun reported.
Professor Zheng said to me, "Dr. Yuan, this is a rare craniotomy, you should observe carefully!" ”
Zheng Xiumin also signaled that I don't need to be nervous and not get too close to the operating table, which I know, but I am still worried about Qingqing's condition.
Everything was ready, the lights in the operating room were dimmed, the shadowless lights were turned on, Professor Zheng and Hong Changshan boarded the operating table, and Yin Runrun also pushed the instrument cart over.
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and my mood was even more nervous.
A nurse put on masks for us, then pressed the timer, and the operation officially began. I stood on the left side of the operating table, Zheng Xiumin stood across from me, and the two surgeons stood on either side of Qingqing's head, a sterile isolation hood separating Qingqing's face from her skull.
The nurse handed the stainless steel scalpel, then the stainless steel chisel, the hammer, the saw.
Many of the surgical instruments used in this orthopedic department are the same as those of a carpenter, except that they are more delicate and durable than those of a carpenter, and of course they are all cast in stainless steel and sterilized in a pressure cooker.
Zheng Xiumin motioned for me to look over Qingqing's head, where her hair had been shaved and her scalp had been cut open with a scalpel, revealing the skull, which Hong Changshan was breaking open with a hacksaw.
Professor Cheng had already used a chisel to chisel a row of small holes in the surgical area of the patient's head, and through the meningeal tissue, the brain tissue inside could be clearly seen, like walnut kernels, covered with hills and ravines.
Surgery is to save the patient's life, and it is also the most dangerous time for the patient, and if the operation fails, the patient may lose his life.
