Plague Doctor

Human bones are very hard.

The bones of the limbs, long bones, are among the hardest among them.

Ordinary amputation requires the use of a high-powered bone saw, but Cao Yicong's right hand that needs to be amputated is still such a foreign limb, and the hardness is likely to be higher.

In such a situation, perhaps even the bone saw would be hindered.

And the worst part is, there are no bone saws, other electric saws, or hand saws.

So when they heard Gu Jun talking about amputation, except for Cao Yicong, who was getting more and more confused, Li Liangbin and Wang Yong were all startled, feeling completely unsure. Although they were not the ones who were going to perform the operation, and they were not medical students, some common sense was still there Yes, this environment, this condition...

"Doctor Gu, what are you going to do?" Li Liangbin couldn't help but ask.

Wang Yong glanced around anxiously, also looking to see if there was any sharp weapon that could be used as a bone saw.

In fact, it’s okay to have a kitchen knife now. After all, the most primitive amputation method is basically to cut off the leg directly and then wrap the cut plane tightly with cloth.

But they didn't bring any cold weapons. The pistol couldn't amputate the limb, and the small scalpel in Gu Jun's hand couldn't amputate the limb either...

"I'm going to use this scalpel to finish it, including the step of sawing the bones." Gu Jun said seriously, this is the only chance at the moment.

Li Liangbin and the others were stunned when they heard this, but Gu Jun knew that he was neither joking nor trying blindly. It was also the Calop scalpel that penetrated the bones of the black goat kid's leg that even the electric saw could not cut. It's not the bone saw in Calop's equipment, but he has room to maneuver.

"This scalpel is extremely sharp." He briefly explained, "It can break through anything harder than iron and stone."

"Doctor Gu... If you think it's possible, just try..." Cao Yicong gritted his teeth and said, his mind wandering. He was worthy of the Dongzhou Investigation Department for being able to endure the huge pain until now. "If it really doesn't work... just give it a try..." I am... so happy... don't hesitate, don't blame yourself..."

"Deputy team!" Li Liangbin couldn't help but said anxiously, and Wang Yong also blushed.

They know, they understand, they have all written suicide notes, and they would have said the same thing if they were in this position.

Not only did they not want to fall into pain, but also because of this harsh swamp environment, where supplies were extremely limited, and they didn’t know where the end was or when they would be able to get recuperation and supplies. The team would not allow any wounded that would only drag down the entire team.

But how can it be.

"I don't promise you." Gu Jun interrupted their thoughts and put the portable medical box on the ground as he spoke, took out a bottle of morphine from the box and installed an intravenous needle. "Deputy Captain Cao, I will give it to you first. To relieve pain, just hold on, this is just an amputation, don’t think how difficult it is.”

There was little time, so every move he made was as fast as possible, and he had already planned it in his mind before making it.

He grabbed Cao Yicong's left hand, rolled up his sleeve, and exposed the thick blood vessels on the inside of his left elbow. He pulled out the needle's cannula, pinched the injured person's elbow with one hand, and used the other hand to stab the blood vessel at a suitable angle with the needle. There is a piercing sensation and the blood returns very well. If you give it a bolus, the blood will return again, no problem.

Gu Jun had not done intravenous injection for a long time, but he had not lost the skills he had learned from the mice. He hit the nail on the head and completed the injection in one shot.

Only then did I feel a little relieved.

He knows that the more confident and agile he is, the higher the patient's confidence in fighting the disease will be and the stronger his will will be.

If the needle hadn't hit just now, I'm afraid Cao Yicong's chance of survival would have been greatly reduced.

But now, just as he expected, Li Liangbin and Wang Yong's confidence increased greatly, and their eyes looked different. Cao Yicong bit his teeth harder again, also because the morphine was taking effect quickly, his consciousness became clearer, and he was willing to try his best to support : "I'll try my best to hold on..."

These investigators were originally the most proficient in emotional manipulation, but they also lost their ability in the face of illness and pain.

Gu Jun looked around and decided to perform the operation on the spot. There was no particularly good location in the surrounding swamp, but the light here was good and there was a small piece of hard mud for shelter. As for the shadowless lamp, operating table, sterile wound dressings, etc., of course there are none.

If it is in the surgical building of the medical department, CT and MRI examinations will be done before the operation. If not possible, an X-ray film will be taken to check the condition of the bones. There are none now.

Gu Jun took a deep breath quietly as he looked at the contents of the small medical kit: ordinary tourniquets, several rolls of sterile gauze, two bottles of physiological saline, needles and thread for suturing...

Carlop's dissecting scissors, dissecting forceps, dissecting hammer, dissecting needle, and several common instruments.

The medicines include procaine for local anesthesia and hemocoagulase for hemostasis...

There are not many things, but there are indeed opportunities. It must be done once and for all, and nothing can be wasted.

While thinking about the surgical plan, Gu Jun had already picked up the tourniquet and tied it with some more on the abnormal end of Cao Yicong's right upper limb - the position of the osteotomy plane will be about 5cm below the upper end of the humerus, almost to the scapula. , the entire hand will appear to be amputated.

Gu Jun's confidence comes from the right upper arm amputation he just participated in. He still clearly remembers the surgical steps, intraoperative precautions, postoperative treatment and complications, and he does what he needs to do now.

"Hemocoagulase is used to prevent bleeding." While applying medicine and giving Cao Yicong an intravenous injection, he deliberately continued to increase their confidence by explaining: "There will definitely be blood during the operation. Don't worry, it is normal. I will remove the large blood vessels and All other blood vessels have been ligated, and there is no major problem if there is no major bleeding.”

Wang Yong and Li Liangbin nodded when they heard this, even though they knew it was to comfort them.

, and still felt comfortable listening to it.

Gu Jun's skill is well-known within the Bureau of Secrets. This is not the first time he has performed surgery in the field. There is hope.

"Lieutenant, just hold on." Li Liangbin was responsible for pressing Cao Yicong's constantly struggling right hand with both hands. Before Gu Jun started to do the skin flap, he asked Wang Yong to go up and press it together, because once the blade scratched the skin of the alien limb, , the force of struggling is likely to suddenly increase several times, or even ten times.

One of the biggest difficulties in this operation is that the affected limb cannot be safely manipulated by others, and there is a lack of fixation tools.

Don't give up on those delicate operations just because the situation is urgent.

Even if there was a kitchen knife by his side, Gu Jun would not choose to cut off the affected limb directly. If the blood vessels were not gradually treated, the injured person would bleed too much during the operation, would not be able to stop the bleeding after the operation, and would not be able to stop the bleeding after the operation. It would be impossible to survive in this alien wilderness without a blood transfusion.

Therefore, the incision and flap must be done well. The higher the quality, the higher the survival rate.

Gu Jun gave Cao Yicong's right shoulder a local anesthesia, then picked up the Carlop scalpel again and began the operation in this harsh environment.

Love the Plague Doctor.
