My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 518: Chapter 512: Seriously Injured Chapter 518: Chapter 512: Seriously Injured Tang Yuxin took off her cotton coat, but Gu Ning pressed a hand onto her shoulder, “Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”

“I have no time to worry about that,” replied Tang Yuxin, the stuff she needed was all in her pocket.

Both Li Jia and Lin Yile glanced at each other, also removing their cotton coats.

The do-it-all military coats were truly a godsend in the snow, but for them who were about to treat patients, it was a bulky liability.

After all, who would wear such a heavy coat to treat patients.

Tang Yuxin stepped into the makeshift tent.

It was surprisingly windproof.

It was spacious, and the ground had been swept clean.

There was a fire blazing inside, rendering the air mildly dry.

It wasn’t so cold anymore.

The moment they entered, the warmth inside melted the snowflakes on her eyelashes.

Two heavily injured soldiers lay on the ground.

Without delay, Lin Yile took out the first aid kit she had been holding close to her.

Because she had kept it against her body, its contents retained some of her body heat.

Meanwhile, Li Jia, who was holding two large boxes, faced a challenge.

Many of the contents were frozen solid.

She took out those items one by one, setting them near the fire to thaw, readying them for use later.

Seeing the patient’s critical condition, Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

She had an intuition that something like this might happen, which was why she had brought everything she could think of.

With what Lin Yile and Tang Yuxin brought, it should be enough to treat the two.

“Where are they injured?” Tang Yuxin asked as she uncovered a blanket and pressed her finger onto the pulse of one injured soldier’s wrist.

He was gravely injured indeed.

“Here,” Shen Fei squatted down, pointing at the soldier’s waist, “His waist here, the bleeding hasn’t stopped.

Thanks to the coagulation powder you gave Gu Ning, the bleeding has been intermittent.

However, due to the lack of medicine, the bleeding is still going on.”

Tang Yuxin carefully placed her hand over the soldier’s wound, and then gently pressed her other hand on his abdomen.

Her brow furrowed, and remained so, as she proceeded to examine the other patient.

She gently parted the eyelids of the other wounded soldier and pressed his abdomen.

“How does he look?” Lin Yile, who had prepared the medicine, had even readied the basic necessities.

“His body has multiple fractures,” Tang Yuxin put her hand behind the wounded soldier’s neck.

“His vertebrae are not affected.

The reason for his unconsciousness might be this,” She reached out and touched the soldier’s head.

“There’s no way to conduct a CT scan for his head here, but I suspect he has sustained a head injury and probably suffered from cerebral hemorrhaging.”

“Such severe wounds?” Lin Yile clenched her fists.

Performing cranial surgery under current conditions was impossible.

Such a major operation would require a return to the hospital.

“He’s not in that bad of shape,” Tang Yuxin took out a hemostatic needle from the first aid kit.

“His bleeding isn’t too severe.

I will administer the hemostatic needle first and if he stops bleeding, he might survive for a few more days.

There might not even be a need for surgery, the hematoma could possibly be reabsorbed.”

“In that case, it’s not too serious,” Lin Yile breathed a sigh of relief.

In a hospital, even the most severe illnesses are potentially treatable due to the medical resources available.

But out here, where many resources were lacking, how could they possibly carry out operations?

Tang Yuxin hung the stethoscope around her neck and started examining the soldier whose abdomen was injured, “This one is in critical condition.”

“What’s wrong?” Li Jia walked over to her.

“Listen to it yourself,” Tang Yuxin handed the stethoscope to Li Jia.

Li Jia took it, hung it around her ears, and put the other end on the soldier’s abdomen, before gently pressing down.

“Does it seem like there’s fluid accumulation in his abdomen?”

“Yes,” Tang Yuxin nodded.

“Preliminary diagnosis suggests splenic rupture.”

Li Jia’s fingers trembled a bit, “Splenic rupture?”

“Yes,” Tang Yuxin nodded.

Most likely so.

She had tried Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine examination methods.

It seemed like the spleen had ruptured with a lot of fluid accumulated inside the abdominal cavity.

This is a very serious condition.

“What should we do?” Li Jia put down the stethoscope.

In her mind, it was not a serious issue-medically speaking.

Once they made it to a hospital, it could be treated, at worst by removing the spleen.

But given the present conditions, there wasn’t even a surgical table.

How could they perform an operation?

That was why Tang Yuxin had said this was serious.

Moreover, this patient had evidently lost a lot of blood.

Even if they could operate here, there was no way to perform a blood transfusion.

“Do we have enough of the medicine we brought?” Asked Tang Yuxin of Li Jia as a lot of the equipment was brought by her.

As to whether they had enough, Li Jia had to make the call.

“Let me see,” Li Jia stood up and walked over to the two large medicine boxes left in front of the fire.

“Syringes, glucose…

I brought them.

They’re all in small bottles.

I have five bottles of them.

Also, there are antipyretics and fever reducers,” she opened another box which contained basic tools that she brought out of caution in case they would have to stitch up some wounds.

“Li Jia, can we manage to perform a surgery?” Tang Yuxin started examining the patient’s wounds, determined to stop him from losing more blood.

“A surgery?

Impossible,” Li Jia didn’t think on it for even a moment.

“Perform surgery here?

Impossible.

We have insufficient medicine and blood to transfuse.

Conditions here are deplorable.

Even if we operate, it is highly likely for infections to occur.”

Tang Yuxin placed her hand on the patient’s forehead while the silver needle in her hand went to work on his body.

“If we don’t operate now, he won’t survive through the night.”

Li Jia fell silent.

She was a doctor, too.

It was impossible for her not to understand.

But how could they possibly perform a surgery here?

If they insisted on it, with Tang Yuxin’s skill, it might just be manageable.

But…

“We don’t have a blood source.

He’s already lost too much blood,” In Li Jia’s mind, this patient was as good as dying.

He wouldn’t survive through the night.

The loss of blood was too great to make it up.

“What blood type is he?” Tang Yuxin asked Gu Ning and the others.

Gu Kong shook his head, “We don’t know,” The two of them just joined the company and were still training.

Gu Ning was often busy with other matters, so these trivial details were taken care of by others.

He might know their names and faces, but he would not know their blood type.
