Chapter 219: Infection
The nose of the plane finally slowly sank into the water, leaving only a small whirlpool on the surface of the sea and disappearing, and it is very easy for such a plane to disappear in the vast sea.
More than 200 meters away from the sinking site, one of the pilots who had escaped by the accident was paddling his oars, and in front of them was a golden sandy beach. It is the area of Bang Lamong, a coastal city in southeastern Thailand, which is located just east of the Gulf of Thailand, on the border between Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand.
"How far is it? My arm hurts to death, that damn bastard! One of the pilots gently lifted the gauze from the wound on his arm, and blood flowed out. I'm not going to bleed to death, am I? ”
"Hey, buddy, don't be so downcast. We'll get you a doctor as soon as we get ashore. Another paddler kicked the big travel bag, which was full of bags of white crystals, "How happy we can get $1 million this one."
"Maybe, God, I feel myself shaking, damn it, I must have lost too much blood." The other pilot retightened the wound on his arm and turned his gaze to the medical metal box. "If only I hadn't killed the doctor, but thankfully I brought the kit."
When he was about to get on the lifeboat, he also brought the metal medical pad, which now seems to be a wise decision. There was also a combination lock on the medical kit, and the wounded did not bother to crack the code, but instead used a brutal method and fired a shot at the keyhole.
When Antonite escaped, he was too nervous and just chose an ordinary medical storage box, so he saved the effort of these two.
Inside are neatly arranged surgical instruments, gauze, iodine tincture, thermometers, blood transfusion sets, etc., and in a deeper layer, a flat metal locket is placed. The wounded picked it up curiously, looked into the sunlight, and only saw that the metal locket had a red cross emblem on it, and the words azithromycin were written in English.
"Yes, yes, I need to give myself a shot. Now it looks like the wound is a little inflamed, really. Overjoyed, the wounded man opened the metal locket, revealing a vial of blue liquid.
The paddle pilot put a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Is that thing an antibiotic?" ”
The wounded man made a sharp cut of the bottle with a grinding wheel, broke it with his hand, and then sucked it in with the syringe in the medical box, and erected the needle to expel the excess gas. I found the vein in my arm and injected it, and the blue potion was pushed into the body.
"That's right, this is a potion commonly used by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) under the International Red Cross, and I have used it before, and it is of good quality." The wounded threw the syringe into the sea and lay down comfortably, "It's up to you next, let's work hard to get this thing done." ”……
Four hours later, at the church hospital in Banglamong, two nurses rushed to the operating room with a dying patient. There are also a few tattooed characters who look like underworlds.
When the attending doctor on the night shift arrived at the news, he opened the patient's eyelids with his hand and shone it with a small flashlight, and found that the patient's pupils were extremely weak. Immediately loudly arranged:
"Sent him to operating room six and put him on a ventilator."
The attending doctor turned his head and began to ask the underworld figures, "When did he get sick?" ”
"Just an hour ago, it started to be fine." The underworld figure replied.
"What's the matter with the injury on his arm?" The attending physician noticed the trauma on the patient's arm.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the specifics, it seems that I was injured when I was in a hurry."
"Really?" The attending doctor did not continue, although the wound was a simple look, but it could still be found that it was a gunshot wound! It's not a wound on the job, but given the background of the underworld, it's better to be quieter.
"Okay, send the blood sample to the lab, and hang the liquid first." At this time, the attending doctor noticed that the patient's skin had turned yellow, and he was short of breath, and looked at the monitor again. The patient's body temperature has become 39.6 degrees, the blood oxygen concentration has dropped to 75, and the heart rate has reached more than 100 beats per minute.
It's weird! After 15 minutes of receiving the test book, he found that the patient's white blood cells had risen to more than twice the normal level, which is a typical symptom of bacterial infection. Could it be that the wound on the arm is infected and inflamed? …,
He gently cut the clothes on his arm with scissors, and then removed the gauze, leaking the wound inside. At this time, the wound muscle is turned outward, and the connective tissue is secreting a large amount of yellow and white cell fluid.
It can be seen that the muscular units of the wound have begun to change color, they are blackish-purple, and pus is produced from time to time.
"It's also a bacterial infection, right?" The doctor didn't know where the guy had gotten and had gotten some gunshot wounds from there, but now unfortunately it looks like he's going to be treated.
"Barbiturates 200 units, intravenous infusion. In addition, 1.6 million units of penicillin were instilled with 12 pieces, plus 1.2 million units of azithromycin" The attending doctor methodically placed a diagnosis list, and for him, this person was just a relatively serious bacterial infection, "By the way, did you add mycoplasma infection to the test just now?" ”
After receiving a positive answer, he continued to write in his diagnosis: "The patient's condition is estimated to be caused by a gunshot wound and requires close observation, and care should be taken not to allow the patient to develop SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), although the patient's kidneys seem to be in condition." Care should be taken to prevent organ decay. ”
After seeing that the patient was in a relatively calm state, the attending doctor yawned and looked at his watch It was already half past twelve at night.
"Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and then call me if there's any situation."
This situation is a common situation in the emergency room of any piggybacking hospital, so at this point, the entire hospital night shift staff did not realize what a terrible start it was!
The attending doctor returned to his small lounge, and as a doctor with a higher status than a nurse, he had a little space, and he wrapped himself in a sheet and lay down on the bed. But the patient just now always gave himself a deeper impression, that is, the speed of the bacterial infection was also faster.
By the way, the most puzzling thing about that person is that when he stimulates his pupils with lights, it seems that there is a faint dark green in the eyelids, is that not due to excessive pigmentation? When the immune system is compromised, lymphocytes are produced in large numbers, and then ......
When I thought of this, the attending doctor also fell asleep, and in the middle of this meeting, I seemed to float in my hometown, Lebuto, Italy. He is a Catholic who came to the South Asian country on the behalft of the Catholic Medical Association.
Although he has been away from Italy for several years, he still misses his homeland in his heart. In this dream, it seems to be back there, as if the scene is in the country hospital during Easter. In the hall, dozens of beds were neatly placed, and on each bed lay a sleeping patient.
Suddenly, a red-haired devil appeared, with smoke in his mouth and a trident in his hand. Along the side of the bed, he tore off the sheet covering the patient, and then stabbed it down with the long weapon in his hand!
The person who was stabbed simply snorted and died, and then the devil walked all the way with a fork, but not everyone was stabbed to death, as if he had been examined before acting. The attending doctor trembled with fright, lay on a hospital bed, and prayed to God that he would be spared.
The footsteps grew closer, and finally stopped in his hospital bed, as if staring at whether the person covering his body was the target of his search. After a long time, the attending doctor did not hear any other movement and thought that the devil was gone, so he carefully pulled down the sheet to reveal his two eyes.
But what appeared in front of him was a swarthy skull, deep in the eye sockets, and two dark red flames were burning gloomily. When it saw its target, it opened its jaws with sharp teeth, laughed wildly, and stabbed the trident down!
"Ah~" The attending doctor felt a sharp pain in his chest, which made him wake up from his dream. He ripped open his shirt and breathed heavily, his heart beating so fast that he couldn't stop.
"Bang bang bang!" The knock on the door made him startled again, and it turned out that the devil's cry and fear in the dream were affected by the knocking on the door.
Calming down, he jumped out of bed and opened the door, and at this time knocking on the door, it was estimated that a new emergency patient was coming.
"Doctor, three more emergency patients are coming, and the situation is very bad, please take a look at it immediately." The nurse looked a little worried, her face pale, "Your face is very bad, isn't it uncomfortable?" ”
"Well, nothing, what kind of three people?" The doctor put on a white coat, wrapped a stethoscope around his neck, and looked at the time around 5 o'clock in the morning.
"It's very similar to the situation last night, only one of the three people is awake, and the other two are a little confused." The nurse replied, confused.
When they arrived outside the emergency room, the attending doctor did see three mobile stretchers, and the underworld was still there, but there were more of them. There were also more than a dozen underworld figures huddled outside the ward, whispering.
"These three people have been with the one from last night, but around three o'clock this morning, three more people have this symptom." The intern can't sleep, so the first step in diagnosis is to be taken care of.
"Like yesterday's patient?" The attending doctor felt his heart twitch twice, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, it was the same as yesterday's.
The intern's face turned green, "Teacher, is there a contagious disease?" ”
"It may be that everyone should be prepared to prevent secondary infection." The attending doctor's face also turned white, and he hurriedly arranged, only then did he feel a little stuffy pain in his chest.
"Doctor, your chest!" A few people around shouted.
He looked down and saw that a flush was slowly oozing out of the middle of his white coat......
