Chapter 17 Another Treatment
After returning from Taiping County, Tao Le went to the pharmacy to buy some disposable acupuncture needles. These needles are individually aseptically packaged to meet the requirements of most acupuncture points.
Although she took Ximu out for lunch today, she also brought a few boards with her, which she didn't expect to come in handy.
At this moment, she took out a five-minute hand from her handbag and quickly explained while unpacking it: "Heat stroke is a severe heat stroke. And this patient, in the heat stroke, belongs to the critical category. ”
"Even if the ambulance arrives now, the chances of him surviving are not high - are you sure you're going to waste your time here?"
Probably what she said with a straight face, showing a certain professionalism; It may also be that the three colleagues do not want to bear the harmful consequences of the delay; Or maybe it was the golden needle she carried with her, which confirmed the identity of the doctor, and the three colleagues glanced at each other, and finally decided to follow Tao Le's advice.
Lulu canceled her ride-hailing service and began contacting the tip's wife. Brother Zhao dialed 120, and when describing his symptoms, he handed the phone to Tao Le.
"It was heat stroke, the patient had a high fever of about 42 degrees Celsius, and he was already unconscious, but his breathing was quite smooth. We're trying to cool him down, so please be prepared to rehydrate. She put down the phone, looked at the health level that had dropped to 17 in front of her, and took a deep breath.
The ambulance would arrive twenty-five minutes later, during which time she knew she had to do something.
Because of the high fever, the patient gradually stopped sweating and had convulsions in his limbs.
This is a very poor sign that the patient is losing a lot of water and that the electrolytes are already badly debalanced.
The gold finger interface suggests that the patient has developed heat exhaustion, which is manifested as mild liver and kidney failure, and it is difficult to save the gods if it continues.
Tao Le did not hesitate any longer, and injected a needle on the patient's central acupoint. The needle is tilted upwards and the needle is inserted about one centimeter deep.
For coma, shock and other symptoms, the central acupoint of the person with the effect of awakening and opening the body is the first choice.
At the same time, a prompt popped up on the purple interface in front of her.
Please select a treatment plan:
A. Reduce the core temperature. Number of heals required: 1 time, increases health by 9.
B. Treatment of mild heat exhaustion. Number of heals required: 1 time, increases health by 8.
C. Treatment of other complications. Number of heals required: 5 times, increasing health by 6 points each time.
D. Treatment of tenosynovitis. Number of heals required: 2 times, increasing health by 3 points each time.
E. Treatment of dental caries. Number of heals required: 1 time, increases health by 3.
Seeing these five options, Tao Le's brain was running at high speed. Two of the most critical aspects of heat stroke treatment are lowering the patient's core temperature and rehydration.
Comatose patients are unable to take fluids and are likely to choke on their lungs, so they must be given after the patient is awake or after an ambulance arrives.
The choice in front of Tao Le seems to be very simple, directly choose A, lower the core temperature, and the condition is controlled. As for the rest of the heat exhaustion and complications, there is naturally a hospital to do follow-up treatment.
The only problem with this solution is that the patient has already developed organ failure, and it is inevitable that there will be some sequelae, and even the possibility of death.
Tao Le didn't want to do that, she felt she could do better.
Her plan was to treat heat exhaustion first, then try to lower the patient's body temperature before the ambulance arrived, and with her acupuncture assistance, the effect should be much stronger than the former.
"Pick B." She calmly made her choice.
"Treatment for mild heat exhaustion began. Eight minutes countdown. 479 seconds, 478 seconds....."
Ximu has been shrinking into Tao Le's arms, watching all this with cold eyes. All the emotions of the Blue Star people could not hide his perception. However, it was precisely because of this that he felt even more novel.
In the Mio Empire, a weak person who falls on the streets like a sick person will never attract anyone's attention.
The higher the degree of civilization, the higher the requirements for each citizen of the empire. Those who can't even manage their bodies well will only be despised by the collective.
Of course, the city's public service robots will eventually come to his aid and give him humanitarian aid.
But here at Blue Star, it's a different story.
The people in front of them basically didn't know each other with the patients, but they generally showed sympathy and compassion, and many of them also released messages of help.
And his titular owner, Tao Le, poured a lot of love into the patient—this enthusiasm was not even much worse than that of her to herself, which made him inexplicably a little unhappy.
Does this woman treat everyone equally? Why did the main hall suddenly feel that this weak Blue Star Man on the ground was a bit of an eyesore?
Simu didn't have time to think about the reason before his attention was drawn to another wonderful thing.
Just after Tao Le placed the needle, he clearly felt that there was a strange energy emanating from her body and sending it into the patient's body along the tip of the needle.
It was an energy that he had never heard of before, full of vigor and vitality. Although there was only a thin trace of it, it was slowly eating away at the death qi that enveloped the patient.
It seems that the reason why Tao Le can become her own signal tower is also because of her own particularity.
The unbelievable thought that had come to Simu's mind again lingered. Could it really be that she is......
He looked up at Tao Le, but saw that plain face, surrounded by the sunlight above his head, made him unbearable, but he was reluctant to look away.
Tao Le didn't notice the ugly cat in his arms at all, and was secretly aiming at him.
After a few twists and turns, she pulled out the quintome hand.
Although the patient did not wake up directly, he let out a sigh like a pout.
"People are reacting, maybe they're going to wake up!" The onlookers were amazed, and the solemn atmosphere was light.
"This doctor has two brushes under his hands, and the needle is really decisive."
"If you want me to say, you can't offend the doctor if you offend anyone, people carry needles with them, if you don't come up honestly and give you a needle, believe it or not, you won't be able to move!"
"Come on, do you think you're reading martial arts novels?"
Tao Le's eyes were only on the patient, and he didn't hear the gossip coming from around him at all. Only she knows that the patient's condition has not improved much, and it is still not optimistic.
She said to Brother Zhao and the others who were guarding the side: "The patient must be cooled down immediately." Carry him to...," she looked up and around, pointing to the nearest restaurant in Asuka, "There." ”
Just when Tao Le was getting the needle, many people used their mobile phones to check the entry "heat stroke", including Brother Zhao.
Although they are all experts in medicine and do not understand many terms, they can still understand the fatality rate of 20%-70%, and they are inevitably a little afraid at this time.
Although there are still doubts about Tao Le's diagnosis, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that the treatment of the tip will be delayed because of the relationship between the three of them, they dare not think about the consequences, let alone bear it.
You must know that although the tip is not yet thirty years old, it already has a pair of children, and it is the pillar of the family, so there must be no mistakes.
Hearing Tao Le's command at this moment, Brother Zhao didn't say a word, and immediately beckoned Xiao Wu to lift the patient. The patient was tall and muscular, and the two of them struggled to lift it, and two more young men rushed forward to help.
The crowd got out of the way. As soon as a few people carried the patient up the steps, they were stopped by the waiter in front of the restaurant.
