Plague Doctor

Chapter 402: Acute radiation sickness

The darkness was dark, the lights were bright, and the rumbling of the car rang through the sparsely populated land.

The people in the Ma'erwan District have evacuated safely. There are no more residents and animals in the "quarantine zone", and the plants here will become a thing of the past. In Mobei, even in towns, trees are rare in many places, but it is for this reason that every tree here is precious.

Tree cutting trucks, excavators, bulldozers and other vehicles participating in the "Isolation Circle Program" are driving to the tree points in the circle.

In the command center of Mobei, the chief commander of the operation, Zhou Dajun, has a middle-aged face. He is a native of Mobei. Over the years, the environment here has become better and better. The carts at the location drove to the trees with spring foliage.

The creaking saw cut off, the crashing sound ...

One by one trees fell down, and then transported away by truck, leaving no saplings.

At the same time, the blazing fire is also burning everywhere, burning the grass on the ground, burning the original colors of spring, burning all the vitality.

In the dark night all turned into thick smoke and turned into ashes.

The isolation zone, the death zone, appeared gradually and quickly, enclosing a 30-square-kilometer change zone.

...

The Department of Medicine of Mobei Tianji Bureau has two operations in the surgical building.

The two patients were elderly Tian Fuhou and Officer Bian Yi, both of whom had amputation of the right upper arm.

They all once reached into the locust tree, causing minor burns below their elbows, which was caused by intense nuclear radiation.

For human body to absorb radiation, 1Gy is approximately equal to 1Sv. Sv is the dose equivalent unit, which is the product of the absorbed dose, quality factor and all other correction factors at a certain point in the tissue under study.

The dose equivalents received by the two people were about 6.2Sv and 4.5Sv respectively, but the maximum absorption of the right hand reached 1723Sv and 1871Sv respectively.

There are two other patients, elderly man Zhang Maidong and police officer Ma Zhenxing, with a systemic dose equivalent of about 5.6Sv and 4.2Sv.

On the day of the incident, the symptoms of acute radiation sickness of all four people were worsening, frequent vomiting, dizziness and headache. After the measurement was indeed radiation sickness, the medical team gave sedation, desensitization, antiemetic and anti-radiation drugs. The situation of Zhang Maidong and Ma Zhenxing was temporarily under control.

But Tian Fuhou and Bian Yi, from noon, they felt severe pain in the skin of their right hand burn.

1723Sv and 1871Sv are there, and the condition is developing very rapidly. The burned skin first became more red and swollen, then the ulcers rotted, then the blood vessels inside bleed and bleed, the tissue collapsed, the damaged cells were broken down, and the entire hand was no longer humanoid.

Tian Fu was so full of pain that he rolled in bed. He survived in his life and faced with many hardships, even in those days when he could not eat, drink or wear warm, the elderly did not cry.

But now, the old man is crying and crying, just because of the great pain in his body.

The 79-year-old man has such severe pain that his blood pressure has soared and his breathing has been difficult. All his physical functions are being damaged. There is also a risk of cerebral hemorrhage and heart and lung failure. The medical team immediately injected a sufficient amount of morphine into the elderly, but this has little effect on the pain caused by nuclear radiation, and there is no special medicine for radiation sickness.

Officer Bian Yi's situation is no better, even worse, because his dose equivalent is greater.

The cry of pain continued to ring in the nuclear radiation isolation ward where he lived, just like the cry of a prisoner in hell.

The situation quickly deteriorated to the point where the amputation was indispensable, the patient could not bear the huge pain, and the spread of radioactive material in the body.

If there are some problems that need to be clarified, at least there is more data to support, these two operations have been carried out during the day. The main question is, is the nuclear radiation in the aberrant area just nuclear radiation? Is this radiation sickness? Can anesthesia be performed during surgery? Can you even have surgery?

The surgical building was busy, and the medical team sent by the curse department arrived in the afternoon, including Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan.

The two of them will take part in a single operation and serve as the third aid.

Faced with such a situation, they naturally remembered Gu Jun, but at the pre-operative meeting in the conference room, they and others were very focused.

The staff of the two white coats in the operation are concentrated in the conference room, and there are many experts and professors who consulted.

"For the moment," a middle-aged and elderly man with a generous face stood in front of the conference screen and said judgment to everyone. This is Professor Zhang Bohai.

Professor Zhang is the director of the first clinical department of the National Nuclear Accident Medical Emergency Center, as well as a series of titles such as the Institute of Radiological Medicine and the Institute of Radiological Protection. This authoritative Daniel will lead ordinary medical staff to cooperate with the Tianji Bureau in the medical work of health prevention, nuclear and radiation emergency treatment in response to this incident.

"The symptoms of the two patients are no different from ordinary acute radiation injury, and there is no such supernatural abnormality in various indicators. We believe that surgery can be performed according to conventional procedures and general anesthesia." Professor Zhang said, "The sooner the surgery is performed, the better . "

Everyone nodded their heads. If there was no anesthesia, Mr. Tian Fuhou might not be able to withstand it, even if he was tenacious and his blood pressure could not be carried.

Wang Ruoxiang also nodded slightly, this was her first mission after returning to the curse department.

I did not expect it to be such a serious disaster.

One of the difficulties of these two operations is that doctors and nurses must wear bulky nuclear radiation protective clothing for operation.

But this question is not under the consideration of Professor Zhang. He will not have surgery. Yang Rongzhong and Tan Bo who are in charge of the surgeon are both the orthopedic trump card of Mobei Medical Department, plus the personnel dispatched by the Curse Department ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Prepared to deal with abnormal conditions that may occur during surgery.

After deciding that the surgery should be carried out as a routine procedure, the two chief surgeons worked out a surgical plan with their team.

After the meeting, all white coats got up and went to the operating room.

"Alas." Cai Zixuan fell behind, still looking at the picture of the patient's diseased hand in the conference screen, and sighed.

Tian Fuhou ’s old man ’s right hand, which was also about to be cut off, planted hundreds of acres of wasteland trees.

"Zixuan, don't be nervous." Wang Ruoxiang patted the old classmate's shoulder. "Anyway, there is no radiation, your hair is gone."

Over the past two years, she has changed a lot, the only thing that hasn't changed is her hair.

"This is also true." Cai Zixuan touched his bald head with a smile, knowing that the squad leader had a good intention to mediate the atmosphere.

The two spoke, and the crowd outside the meeting room caught up. It is midnight, but they still have two battles in the operating room.
