above the point of the knife

Chapter 174 On the Operating Table
"you are a doctor?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Shen nodded subconsciously. The pretty Russian girl in front of him is actually a doctor, and she looks younger than herself.

The doctor at Khabarovsk No. [-] Hospital is also too young. Will she see a doctor at such a young age?
Not right either.

In the middle of the night, besides the young doctor on duty, who else would be willing to be on duty?
With blond hair, a face like a porcelain doll, and a curvy figure, this white uniform (coat) really makes men unable to help but dream about it.

"Galetkin is bleeding internally. It is not clear where the bleeding is. He needs immediate surgery. I need your help." The beautiful doctor named Natasha said.

"I'm an orthopedic doctor, not a surgeon?" Zhou Sen explained, he didn't know how to disembowel him.

"I need an assistant. There is no one in the hospital who can help me now. If I don't operate immediately, Galekin may die." Natasha said.

"Then call someone?"

Natasha was silent.

Zhou Sen understood. She called and shook people, but they didn't come, or they refused after hearing the patient's medical introduction.

She thought of him, the orthopedic doctor with two knives who sent patients here.

"Can you do it alone?"

"I don't know, I just know that if it continues, Galekin will die." Natasha's brown eyes flashed a trace of strong unwillingness and pity.

"As long as you can get Galekin's parents to sign a waiver, I will accompany you crazy." Zhou Sen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, no matter what, it is a life. He thought that if he hadn't been adopted by Anthony, He froze to death.

"Really?" A gleam of hope flashed in Natasha's eyes.

"I can declare that this is my first time. If there is no disclaimer, I will not do this matter." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, I'll go and convince Galetkin's parents."

……

"Are you crazy, dare you agree to have an operation with Natasha?" Anna was also blown away by Zhou Sen's decision when she heard the news.

"It's a life, we doctors can't ignore it."

"You still think of yourself as..." Anna was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"You can fool your enemy only by lying to yourself. If we don't meet tonight, we don't need to worry about it. No one will blame us. But since we have met, if we don't do anything, we will have a bad conscience." Zhou Sen tried to convince himself , also convinced Anna.

"Do you think conscience is useful in our business?" Anna asked back.

"A person is alive and has no conscience. What's the difference between that and a walking corpse?" Zhou Sen snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, "I'm going to have an operation, do you want to help? The operating room is short of manpower. training."

"Doctor Steven, I got the power of attorney!" Natasha ran over quickly with a piece of paper in her hand.

"Then prepare for the operation." Zhou Sen said lightly.

He's not stupid, can't he see that nothing is written on the piece of paper Natasha is holding?
The book is right, beautiful women are the best at deceiving people.

"Don't you take a look?"

"No, I believe you."

In the operating room, the shadowless lamp was turned on, and Galekin was pushed onto the operating table. With the addition of Anna, a temporary guest nurse, there were only three people in the entire operation, not even an anesthetist.

No wonder Natasha is looking for herself, she is no one available.

Well, the big hospitals can’t find other doctors and nurses to cooperate with?Zhou Sen really wanted to find out the reason, but now is not the time.

Three daring men and women, without any surgical plan, performed a thoracotomy on a seriously injured little boy. (Don't be serious, artistic processing)

This is a scalp-numbing decision. It is estimated that Galekin's parents were also desperate, so they died as a living horse doctor.

This is also in the country. I am afraid that no parents will agree to let their children suffer such a crime before they are 'dying', even if it is a hope that they may survive.

"Have you prepared plasma?"

"Prepare. Galekin's parents have the same blood type as him. I have drawn three hundred each." Natasha said, "If it is not enough, I will use mine. I have type O blood."

"Six hundred milliliters of plasma is probably not enough for such a major operation, at least two liters is enough. If it is not enough, it will be dangerous."

"So we must operate as quickly as possible, find the internal bleeding point, and block it, so as to ensure the least blood consumption. Galekin is a child, not an adult. I calculated it. If the operation goes well, six hundred Milliliters are enough." Natasha started the preoperative preparation very attentively.

Galetkin was already in a deep coma, so he didn't even need anesthesia, and the operation could be performed directly. Of course, in order to prevent him from waking up during the operation, he was still given anesthesia.

In fact, surgery in this era does not have as many rules as in the future. An anesthetist and various full-time nurses are also required. One operation requires the cooperation of at least four or five people, and at most eight or nine people.

Now, it is considered good to have an operating room with a shadowless lamp during surgery, but in the field hospital, there is nothing, and the operation will not be performed if it is exposed to the environment with bacteria. Of course, if it is done, it will be done. If you have a chance to survive, if you don't do it, you will be completely dead.

Reason told Zhou Sen that he shouldn't go crazy with Dr. Natasha, whom he just met, but another voice told him that this was the only chance for this kid named Galekin to live in this world.

When the scalpel was in her hand, Natasha became a little nervous, as if she couldn't get the knife off.

"Can't you take the knife?"

"No, I just didn't choose where to put the knife..."

"Or if I come, time won't wait for anyone?" Zhou Sen was also a little nervous, but he was the only man in the operating room.

Natasha did not hand over the scalpel to Zhou Sen, but took a deep breath, and then the knife fell and cut open. The following description omits hundreds of words, it is too bloody...

This girl is really a tiger, and also really brave.

Suck away the blood in the abdominal cavity, and then look for the bleeding point, find it and plug it up. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

Half an hour later, Natasha exclaimed in surprise, "I found it!"

Then it's blocked.

The operation took nearly two hours, and when it was finally completed, Natasha was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and Zhou Sen was responsible for the final closing and stitching.

He is quite familiar with this part, he sewed chicken skin and pig skin a lot at home, and it was almost the same for human skin.

Clean up the blood, disinfect, and send to the ward.

The next step is to wait.

Now the only person who can help Galekin is himself. If he can make it through, he can survive. If he can't, it will be a pity.

"Thank you, Mr. Steven."

"Don't thank me, you saved the man, and it has nothing to do with us." Zhou Sen didn't wait too long, and when the man arrived at the hospital, it had nothing to do with him.

What's more, he was also very tired, almost spinning around, so he should go back and rest.

……

When I got home, I washed up, made another glass of milk, drank it, and went to bed. I slept until seven or eight in the morning before waking up.

After eating something, Zhou Sen fiddled with the herbs he had just bought back from Vladivostok at his home.

Since we want to open a clinic, we must have medicine. It is not enough to sell herbs directly, but to make these into pills or ointments.

This still requires tools, and it is necessary to find someone to customize some.

Zhou Sen had to list all the things he needed, and if necessary, he had to buy some more.

But this time, he didn't have to go to Vladivostok in person, he could just call there to place an order and have it delivered directly.

This establishes a stable cooperative relationship, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Anna was making lunch in the kitchen when Krasnov came over again, bringing someone with him, Ramovich's son.

He'd seen it at the Ramovich's, but hadn't spoken much.

"Uncle Krasnov, why are you here? Have you had lunch yet?" Zhou Sen put down his work and hurried up to greet him.

"Steven, we just came from the hospital. The doctor said that no one dared to perform Ramovich's operation in Khabarovsk. If you want to perform such a difficult operation, you have to go to Vladivostok or other places." Clarke Snowf explained.

"Then go to Vladivostok, why are you looking for me?" Zhou Sen asked strangely.

"We are afraid that Vladivostok will not be able to do it, and this back and forth has been delayed." Krasnov explained.

"No, since the doctor has told you that Vladivostok can perform this operation, I shouldn't lie to you."

"Why, there are still difficulties?"

"The money to go to Vladivostok..."

"Okay, I'll give you some money first, so you hurry up and take someone to the operation." Zhou Sen said, "But the money is not given for free, it's a loan, and you have to pay it back later."

Sheng Mien, he still understands the truth of Dou Miqiu.

Zhou Sen didn't give too much. He took 300 rubles and gave it to Krasnov and Amovich's son, letting them go.

This Khabarovsk is the capital of the Far Eastern Military Region. A large number of troops are stationed here, and the troops have field hospitals.

The level of medical treatment in this military hospital is not bad, so how can we look far away?
Zhou Sen couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the hospitals in the military region are not open to civilians, so they can't seek medical treatment even if they have money?

It's not impossible.

Soviet Russia implemented a system of free medical care for all, but no system can be perfect, especially from the establishment of the system to its implementation, which requires a process.

He has a set of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment procedures, but subject to some local conditions, the implementation of the systems in various places is completely different.

Here, you can set up specialized clinics. For example, Zhou Sen can specialize in orthopedics, but he cannot open general practice clinics. Of course, it is impossible for hospitals, because these are all publicly owned, and private clinics are only a small part, which can be regarded as a supplement.

Although it doesn't cost money to see a doctor, once you can't see a doctor in the local area, it will cost money. If you really want to get treated as you want, the finances will not be able to bear it.

For example, the "barefoot doctor" system, which was actually initiated by Soviet Russia, was later spread to China as an experience, and finally made a huge contribution to the protection of Chinese people's lives and health.

The level of medical care in border areas is even more backward, and this cannot be solved for a while. Only by relying on the continuous development of society can the root cause of the problem be solved.

Zhou Sen is also thinking about these issues in his spare time. No matter whether it will be useful in the future, thinking more will never go wrong.

In the afternoon, Galekin's father sent a basket of eggs. In addition to thanking him for his rescue of his son, he also gave them a happy announcement. Galekin was already awake and very weak, but it was a good start.

After Zhou Sen accepted the egg, he passed it on to Galekin's father, so that he could increase the nutrition for the child during the recovery process.

Zhou Sen had no problem accepting these eggs, but sometimes his reputation couldn't be bought with a basket of eggs.
