Chapter 328: Getting out of the psychological shadow
Huang Feng muttered, "The quality of this lamp is too poor."
Then he took off the still glowing searchlight from his head and handed it to Xia Songlan, "Take it with you and watch your step."
Xia Songlan didn't answer. "Huang Feng, you should wear it. I'm fine. I'll follow you closely. Let's pay attention to safety together."
Just as the two of them were about to push each other away, a voice called out from a distance, "Is there a doctor? Come quickly... an injured person has just been rescued."
Xia Songlan stopped arguing with Huang Feng and turned around and ran towards the direction of the voice.
Huang Feng quickly put the searchlight on his head again and ran over.
The intense rescue work lasted until nearly five in the morning, when finally medical staff from other cities arrived and took over their work.
They were forced back to the camp for a short rest.
Finally, I had my first meal of the day.
Although it was a white flour bun, it had been frozen so hard that it pierced your teeth when you bit into it.
Fortunately, there was hot water.
Xia Songlan broke the steamed buns into pieces and soaked them in hot water. The buns absorbed enough water and became soft and plump, and tasted very filling.
Even with the bland steamed buns, everyone was very satisfied.
Although the conditions were difficult, no medical staff complained.
Everyone even wanted to join the rescue again.
However, Director Wu, who led the team, strongly demanded that all personnel must rest on the spot and wait until their energy was restored before starting the rescue.
Xia Songlan did not sleep well as another wave of aftershocks occurred during her sleep.
Fortunately, the amplitude was small and everyone had adapted to it without too much panic.
Many doctors were tired after a day of work, and they fell asleep quickly after the aftershocks, with snoring sounds coming one after another.
Xia Songlan forced herself to sleep, she knew that her body had reached its limit.
If I don't rest, it will be just like what Ning Jingmo said, I can't even take care of myself, how can I help the people.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by Nurse Liu, "Song Lan, wake up, a PLA cadre was injured during the rescue.
Emergency surgery is needed. Director Wu asked me to invite you over."
Xia Songlan didn't hesitate at all. She jumped out of bed and subconsciously looked at her watch. The time was 10:09 am.
He slept for a full four hours.
Nurse Liu pointed to the wash basin beside her and said, "This is the water I just filled for you to wash your face. The conditions are tough, so you have to make do with it for now."
"Thank you." Xia Songlan directly picked up the water and washed her face.
The water was cold, icy cold, but it made her suddenly sober.
When they arrived at the first aid tent, they found that the injured person was Xie Lin, the same Xie Lin who had eaten at his house during the Chinese New Year.
A steel bar pierced through his right chest. If he was not treated in time, it would be extremely dangerous.
Not only him, but also Dr. Zuo Ming from the Department of Surgery of the City Central Hospital participated in the operation.
Zuo Ming and Xia Songlan are old acquaintances. He was once a member of the diplomatic delegation visiting Country M.
After graduating from university, I was assigned to work in the surgery department of the City Central Hospital.
He has outstanding performance in surgical operations and has solid clinical experience.
Although the two had never worked together before, they knew each other before and had a certain tacit understanding. They quickly discussed the best rescue plan.
Considering that Zuo Ming had performed two operations consecutively last night, this operation was performed by Xia Songlan, with Zuo Ming assisting.
This operation is not small, and the current medical conditions are extremely poor, so it can be said to be a very big challenge.
Both the medical staff on the scene and other people who were aware of the situation were extremely concerned about this operation.
Finally, with the tacit cooperation of the two, the operation was a complete success.
However, considering the current medical conditions and sanitary environment in the earthquake-stricken area, Xia Songlan suggested transferring to other municipal hospitals in a timely manner.
Dean Wu was a little embarrassed, "The ambulance has just taken away the two most seriously ill patients.
There are no vehicles now, and the earliest you can get there is four hours later.”
Zuo Ming frowned, "Four hours is fine. During this time, I will keep a close eye on Deputy Commander Xie's situation."
The matter was settled, and at this moment several patients were carried in one after another.
Zuo Ming said to Xia Songlan, "You've worked hard just now. Take a rest first. Let me do it now."
Xia Songlan had indeed consumed a lot of physical energy during the operation just now, so she didn't show any courtesy to Zuo Ming.
Pushing it aside, he said, "Okay, let me help you."
The two of them worked in perfect harmony and became the most efficient team in the temporary hospital in the earthquake-stricken area.
The next day, Zuo Ming took the initiative to find Xia Songlan, "Songlan, let's be partners today! Partnering with you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Xia Songlan also felt the same way and readily agreed.
During the tense 72 hours, Xia Songlan insisted on staying at her work post except for necessary rest and meal times.
In fact, no one knows how much impact the earthquake has brought to Xia Songlan.
The reason why she traveled through the book was to participate in earthquake relief with her classmates. After an aftershock, she was buried underground and then traveled through time into the book.
Fortunately, she traveled through the book.
But she clearly remembered that her original body had long been pressed under a huge stone pillar and had no breath of life.
In fact, she had died during the rescue in her world.
This time, when Xia Songlan received the rescue mission, she did not hesitate, but she was extremely frightened in her heart.
The fear emanating from the depths of her soul always enveloped her and made her shudder.
Fortunately, when she first set foot on the earthquake-stricken area, she found the person she could rely on among the People's Liberation Army.
Fortunately, Ning Jingmo was always by her side during the biggest aftershock.
It is because of Ning Jingmo's presence and company that Xia Songlan has the courage to stand in the ruins.
Not only did he eventually overcome the psychological terror, but he also had the courage to help others.
Although the two were in the earthquake-stricken area together these days, they rarely spoke to each other, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Sometimes, even if we meet, we just glance at each other from a distance and nod slightly.
Xia Songlan is busy, but she knows that Ning Jingmo is busier than her.
Ning Jingmo is the chief rescue commander in the entire disaster area, and everything is under his control.
She looked at Ning Jingmo calmly commanding the overall situation, like a seasoned general, and felt extremely proud.
He devoted himself to the rescue work more attentively, hoping that through his own efforts, he could share some of the heavy burden and pressure like Mount Tai for Ning Jingmo.
On this day, the weather was not good. Snowflakes started falling from the sky, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger.
This adds a huge burden to the rescue work.
Although the best rescue time of 72 hours has passed, the rescue team did not relax.
Instead, continue the rescue and strive to rescue as many survivors as possible.
Everyone knows that if they hold on for just one more minute, they can save one more life.
Many seriously ill patients have been taken away to hospitals in other nearby cities.
At present, there are only some patients with minor illnesses in Ning County’s temporary relief medical center.
Doctors like Xia Songlan have gradually become involved in the front-line excavation and rescue work.
