Chapter 134: Support

Sun Lien really wanted to explain, in his opinion, although Song Hualin's injury was serious, it really didn't mean to explain the future now. The patient with a fractured vertebra who had died before in the fourth hospital was already delirious when he was admitted to the hospital. It is clear that the caudal end of the medulla oblongata had already been injured when he fractured the pivotal vertebrae. It was also because of this that his condition took a turn for the worse within 20 minutes after he was admitted to the hospital, and he suddenly lost his breath and heartbeat.

And Song Hualin's state column only has a fracture of the pivotal vertebrae. There is no suggestion of bulbar injury or neurologic injury. Although there was no further examination, looking at Song Hualin's steady breathing and the strength to speak clearly and neatly, his nervous system may not have received any damage at all. As long as the person can be sent to the hospital safely, the broken axial vertebrae will be examined to confirm the fracture and then have an internal fixation, or simply a replacement. It won't be long before he can be discharged from the hospital – provided he doesn't suffer thoracic and lumbar injuries that would turn him into a high paraplegia.

"Dr. Sun. Dr. Pascal lowered his head and slipped into the car. He saw Song Hualin lying on the ground with tears in his eyes, and Sun Lien, who was only wearing a T-shirt. "How's it going?"

"I'm okay. Sun Lien rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, "The patient's condition is not particularly good. There are fractures in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, and there may be a few broken ribs......" He pointed to the ups and downs on Song Hualin's chest, "Although it's not a flail chest, it's not much worse." ”

The symptom of "flail chest" refers to the symptoms of chest softening that occur with breathing after multiple rib fractures. The chest is inverted when you inhale and bulges outward when you exhale, in contrast to the chest ups and downs when you breathe normally. It is one of the most dangerous symptoms in emergency trauma. It may even induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The clinical mortality rate is about 10%.

"Flail Chest?" even if Dr. Pascal's Chinese is good, he is a little stretched when it comes to professional vocabulary. But he also saw signs that Song Hualin's chest was undulating abnormally. "How's he conscious? Is he suffering from hypoxia?"

Sun Lien shook his head and asked directly at Song Hualin, "Mr. Song, how do you feel?"

"It sucks. Song Hualin seemed to be much more relaxed after the phone call. "Want to know how I'm feeling right now? Why don't you switch with me?"

Sun Lien laughed and said to Dr. Pascal, "It seems that he is doing well, and he is still in the mood to joke with me." ”

Pascal walked up to Sun Lien, took off his woolen coat and lent it to him. "The other wounded are in fine condition and may have had a couple of minor concussions. Except for the young woman who was sent out just now, she is in a stable state. ”

"Did you call an ambulance?" Sun Lien was more concerned about the condition and transport status of the two seriously injured than those who had already been diagnosed by the status bar. "The fire brigade also has to come, Mr. Song will definitely not be able to get out of the way he is now, only let the fire brigade see this car open. ”

"Rachel has already called. Dr. Pascal was wearing a thin wool sweater inside, but it didn't seem to be cold at all. He said calmly, "Rachel received a call just now, and the emergency department of Tongxie Hospital is ready. All the emergency physicians and master's students were gathered in the hospital and waited for the ambulance to transport the wounded. ”

"No helicopters?" Sun Lien scratched his head, he had seen many air emergency transfers in the Fourth Courtyard. It is said that such a serious accident, and the capital's first-aid resources must be more abundant than Ningyuan, so it stands to reason that there should also be helicopter rescue.

"Neither of the two seriously injured can be transported by helicopter. "Dr. Pascal has a lot of experience and immediately points to the crux of the matter. "A fracture or misalignment of the vertebrae can lead to ...... Result in...... Cerebro-Spinal Fluid pressure increases. He didn't remember for a moment how to say cerebrospinal fluid in Chinese. "Changes in air pressure can cause the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid to be more pressurized. ”

Sun Lien said embarrassedly, "I really didn't expect this." He said to Song Hualin, "Mr. Song, I thought I could let you take a helicopter, but it seems that this wish can't be realized." ”

"It's okay if you don't fly. Sun Lien joked, and Song Hualin was also very open when he joked, "I just got off the plane, and it's too hard to sit again after such a while - there is no first-class service on the helicopter, and there is no beautiful flight attendant for me to see." ”

"How are you feeling?" Dr. Pascal was a little surprised by the atmosphere of the conversation in the car, and he was a little worried that the excessive optimism might be a symptom, "Do you feel dizzy?"

"Don't get dizzy. It is...... It hurts, I feel like my neck is about to break. Song Hualin's eyes looked at Dr. Pascal, and then he was surprised, "Your Chinese is really good." ”

Sun added, "Your neck is not about to break, they are already broken. He looked at Song Hualin and said solemnly, "Your luck is very good. Being able to speak even if you have a broken neck means that your central nervous system has not been damaged too badly. So don't feel like you're going to see Hades right away, stay positive and optimistic. ”

Song Hualin agreed, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "It's just that it hurts too much, this feeling is really annoying." Sweat began to dripp from his forehead, "Can I wipe the sweat with my hands?"

"No!" Sun Lien and Dr. Pascal drank together to stop his thoughts, Sun Lien quickly took out a pack of tissues from his pants pocket, "You lie down and don't move, I'll wipe your sweat." ”

Song Hualin's axial vertebrae have been fractured, and although it is uncertain what type of fracture it is, it is likely that his spinal cord and caudal medulla oblongata are already in a state where there is no hard bone to protect them. Sun Lien didn't want to see Song Hualin twist his spinal cord because of his actions when wiping sweat!

The tissue was held by Sun Lien in his hand, and he gently wiped the sweat on Song Hualin's head with one of the corners. Pascal's height is taller than Sun Lien, after his wool coat is worn on Sun Lien, the sleeves can't stop sliding down, Sun Lien wiped it twice and found that the clothes were a little in the way, so he simply took off the coat again.

"Drip~Dirt~Drip~Dirt!" Sirens gradually sounded outside. Sun Lien suddenly perked up, "The ambulance is here!"

Many people may not have paid attention to it, but in fact, the siren sound used by the three common special vehicles is different. The fire truck's siren sounds at long intervals, pulling from the bass all the way to the treble, and then lowering the pitch back, sounding like a long-delayed "whoa~~~~". A full warning tone lasts for about three seconds. The ambulance only has two tones, one high and one low and one medium speed back and forth, which sounds like "drip~dirt~drip~dirt". The warning sound of a police car is much more frequent. Although it is also one high and one low, it sounds like a sound.

Sun Lien had long been accustomed to hearing the sound of an ambulance in the hospital, and now he immediately recognized it as an ambulance. He hurriedly got up, put Dr. Pascal's coat on Song Hualin's body, and turned out of the carriage directly.

After turning out of the carriage, Sun Lien saw the outside. The traffic blocked by the bus has been blocked for at least two kilometers. Only one emergency lane near the guardrail was set aside for ambulances and rescue vehicles. Sun Lien looked at the ambulance speeding on the emergency lane and nodded with satisfaction -- the people of the capital are still of high quality! At a glance, there was not a single car occupying the emergency lane.

The ambulance flashed its blue lights and quickly drove next to the overturned bus. Five doctors jumped out of the car at once. They were all wearing white coats, masks and gloves. This was somewhat unexpected, as in general, there are only three people in an ambulance. A pre-hospital emergency doctor, a stretcher, and a driver. There were five doctors in the car, which means that when this car drove over, I am afraid that there were even people sitting on the stretcher.

"Let's go, let's go!" one doctor waved at the cars around him, and then ran toward the bus with another doctor pushing the stretcher bed. "What are you doing? Hurry down!" the doctor who waved at the beginning shouted angrily at Sun Lien, "What are you doing climbing up? When you're Superman, why didn't I see you wearing red panties outside?"

Sun Lien was amused, he took out the documents in his pants pocket, "I'm a doctor, I'm here to save people." He pointed to the black MPV in the distance, "We are from Ningyuan Fourth Central Hospital, and we are here in Beijing on a business trip." ”

The doctors who came with the car looked back suspiciously and asked, "Is there anyone else in the car?"

"There is also an injured man who may have a fracture of the cervical vertebrae and also problems with the thoracic vertebrae and ribs. Sun Lien pointed to the overturned bus, "It's useless for you to come in now, the wounded inside will have to wait for the fire department to come." ”

Several doctors consulted with each other and decided to go and see the other wounded who had been removed. And the doctor who accused Sun Lien of not wearing his underwear outside climbed up along the chassis of the bus with a medicine box on his shoulder.

"The patient is in the car? I'll take a look. "He's very decisive and his climbing movements are crisp. only said one sentence to Sun Lien, and leaned over into the car. Landing and standing firmly, the moment he saw Dr. Pascal was taken aback, "I'm going, why is there a foreigner?"

"Hello doctor. Dr. Pascal seemed to be no longer surprised, and he smiled gently and replied in fluent Chinese, "Hello, I'm Pascal." He is also a doctor. ”

The doctor in the ambulance looked at Pascal in surprise, and then at Sun Lien, "This is really a meeting with a doctor, huh?" he muttered to himself, then walked up to Song Hualin and asked, "Hey, buddy, wake up, hey, wake you up, don't move, do you know where you are?"

"Your voice is much harsher than the two doctors just now. Song Hualin groaned, and then said dissatisfiedly, "My name is Song Hualin, and I came to the capital from Shanghai to do business." Unfortunately, the car I was in overturned and my neck was broken, and maybe my waist was broken. The doctor said I couldn't die, but I thought he was lying to me. Song Hualin paused and continued, "I would appreciate it if you could talk to those two doctors a little more instead of coming over and yelling at me." ”
