Plague Doctor

Man's bones, very hard.

Bones in all four limbs —— long bones -- are hardened again.

Ordinary amputation involves the use of a large horsepower bone saw, and Cao Yichuang's right hand, which needs to be amputated, is still such a different limb, probably harder.

Perhaps even a bone saw would be blocked in such a situation.

And worst of all, there's no bone saw, no other chainsaw, no hand saw.

So I heard that Gu Jun said that he was going to amputate his limbs. Except for Cao Yicheng, who became more and more unconscious, Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were both in the same mood. Although they were not the ones who were going to perform the surgery, they were not studying medicine, but some common sense still existed. This environment, this condition...

“Dr. Gu, what are you going to do?” Li Liangbin had to ask.

Wang Yong looked around in a hurry and was also looking to see if there were any sharp instruments that could serve as bone saws.

Actually, it's okay to have a kitchen knife now. After all, the most primitive amputation technique, basically, is to cut it off directly and then tighten the amputation flat with the fabric.

However, they did not carry any cold weapons, the pistol could not amputate the limb, and the small scalpel on Gu Jun's hand could not amputate the limb...

“I'm ready to use this scalpel, including the sawbone steps.” Gu Jun said seriously, this is the only chance.

Li Liangbin and the others were stunned, but Gu Jun knew that he was neither joking nor trying blindly, but also that this Karop anatomical knife penetrated the bones of the legs of the black goats and young sheep who could not even saw the chainsaw. This is not a bone saw in the Callup appliance, but he has room for manipulation.

“This scalpel is very sharp.” He explained slightly, "Anything harder than iron stone can be broken. ”

“Dr. Gu... if you think you can...” Cao Yanchuang bites his teeth, his mind is unsettled, and he can put up with a great deal of pain until now. “If you really can't... give me a... hurry... don't hesitate, don't blame yourself...”

“Lieutenant!” Li Liangbin couldn't help but hurry up and Wang Yong rose.

They knew, they understood, they all wrote the suicide note, and they would say the same thing if they were in this position.

Not only do they not want to suffer, but because of this harsh marshy environment, where supplies are extremely limited, they do not know where they end and when they will receive rest and supplies, and the team will not tolerate anything that will only drag the entire team down to the wounded.

But how.

“I won't promise you.” Gu Jun interrupted their mood. As he said, he put the medical kit on the ground, took a morphine out of the box and put an IV needle in it. "Lieutenant Cao, I'll give you pain relief first. Just hold on. It's just a amputation. Don't think about how hard it is. ”

There's not much time left, he moves every move as fast as he can, and it's already been arranged in his head before he makes the move.

Having grabbed Cao Yicheng's left hand, tucked up his sleeve, exposed the coarse blood vessels inside his left elbow, unplugged the cannula of the needle, pinched the injured person's elbow with one hand, held the needle at a suitable angle to tie the blood vessel, had a puncture sensation, bled well, bolted, then bled back, no problem.

Gu Jun hasn't done an IV operation in a long time, but the power he practiced from the mouse has not been lost. One shot of blood is complete.

That's just a little relief in my heart.

He knows that the more confident he is and the better he is, the higher the patient's resistance to the disease, the stronger his will becomes.

If a needle fails, I'm afraid Cao's chances of survival will be greatly reduced.

But now, as he expected, Li Liangbin and Wang Yong's confidence soared, their eyes were different; Cao Yichuang bit his teeth harder again, also because morphine was working quickly, his mind was clearer, and he was willing to try his best to support: “I try to hold on...”

These investigators, who were best at emotional manipulation, also lost sight of the sickness and pain.

Gu Jun looked around and decided to perform the surgery in situ. The swamps around him were not particularly good, and the light was good, and there was a small piece of hard mud to accommodate. As for shadowless lamps, operating tables, sterile cloths, etc., naturally none.

If it was in the surgery building of the Department of Medicine, CT and MRI would be done before surgery, and if it wasn't enough, an X-ray would be done to check the bone condition, which is still not available.

Looking at what was in the small medical box, Gu Jun took a deep breath quietly, regular tourniquet, several rolls of sterile gauze, two bottles of saline, stitched needle thread...

Karop's anatomical shears, anatomical tweezers, anatomical hammers, anatomical needles, and a few common instruments.

There is topical procaine on the drug, hemostatic thrombin...

There is not much, but there is an opportunity, and it must be done at once, and it must not be wasted at all.

While thinking about the surgical plan, Gu Jun has taken the hemostasis and tied it to the mutant end of Cao Yichong's right upper limb - the truncated bone will be about 5cm below the upper humerus, almost to the scapula, and the entire hand will be severed in appearance.

Gu Jun's confidence came from the right upper arm amputation he had just participated in. He remembered the surgical steps, intraoperative precautions, postoperative treatment and complications clearly, and now what to do.

“Hemothrombin, used to prevent bleeding.” He drugged Cao and injected Cao Yizhong quietly, deliberately to explain to continue to strengthen their confidence: “The surgery will definitely meet with blood, don't worry, it is normal, I will tie all the large blood vessels and other blood vessels together, without major bleeding there will be no major problems. ”

Wang Yong and Li Liangbin nodded, even though they knew it was a consolation to their words, they listened freely.

Gu Jun's wonderful hands are famous inside the astronomical machine station. It's not the first time he's completed surgery in the field. It's promising.

“Lieutenant, just hang in there.” Li Liangbin is responsible for pressing Cao Yicheng's right hand with both hands. Before Gu Jun starts making the flap, let Wang Yongxian also press it together, because once the blade scratches the skin of the opposite limb, the force of the struggle is likely to suddenly increase several times, even tenfold.

One of the biggest difficulties with this surgery is that this limb won't be laid safely, and there's a lack of fixtures.

You can't let go of those meticulous manipulations just because it's urgent.

Even with a kitchen knife around him, Gu Jun would not have chosen to cut off this limb directly. If the blood vessels were not handled gradually, the injured person would have suffered too much blood during surgery, could not stop the blood after surgery, and could not get a blood transfusion. It was impossible to survive in this exotic wilderness.

So the cuts and flaps must be done well, the higher the quality, the higher the survival rate.

Gu Jun gave Cao Yizhong's right shoulder a circumstance, then picked up Karop's scalpel again and started surgery in this harsh environment.
