3pm.
Zhao Sheng and Li Mujia had just finished treating a critically ill patient and were sitting in the doctor's office to rest when they were called to the conference room by head nurse Zhou Hong.
When he arrived at the conference room, Zhao Sheng saw that Lin Haizhou, who was supposed to be off today, was called back, and other doctors who were on vacation were also called back.
Seeing Li Weidong's solemn look, Zhao Sheng knew that something big must have happened.
Zhao Sheng found his seat and sat down. Li Weidong saw that everyone was here, and then he said: "Everyone should have watched the news. Just now, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake occurred on the coast of country T next to us, causing an earthquake. Tsunami, now there are massive casualties.”
"The hospital has received instructions to organize a medical rescue team to go to country T with rescue teams from other hospitals to provide support. This rescue team must be led by at least the deputy chief doctor, and be equipped with at least two attending doctors and four Nurses, a total of seven people.”
After hearing Li Weidong's words, the doctors and nurses below suddenly had serious expressions on their faces.
Earthquakes and tsunamis are huge waves caused by earthquakes on the seabed or on the seashore and volcanic eruptions. They are called earthquakes and tsunamis. Usually, destructive earthquakes and tsunamis can only occur when earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or above have a focal depth of less than 20 to 50 kilometers. To produce a catastrophic tsunami, the magnitude must be above 7.8.
"Earthquakes and tsunamis" occur in the vast ocean. Tsunami waves are hundreds of meters long and can reach hundreds of meters deep under the sea. It moves along the ocean at the speed of a jet aircraft, and when it encounters land it produces a destructive force comparable to that of an atomic bomb. Devastating earthquakes and tsunamis occur around the world about once a year, and earthquakes and tsunamis that have occurred in recent years have been extremely destructive.
The violent waves set off by a tsunami can reach a height ranging from more than 10 meters to dozens of meters, forming a "water wall". In addition, tsunamis have large wavelengths and can travel thousands of kilometers with very little energy loss. Due to the above reasons, if a tsunami reaches the shore, the "water wall" will rush onto the land, posing a serious threat to human life and property.
Therefore, this time an earthquake and tsunami occurred along the coast of country T, which can be said to have caused heavy losses.
"The selection of the rescue team this time is all based on voluntary registration. If there are not enough applicants, then people will be selected from those who have not participated in the rescue in previous years."
After a pause and looking at the silent doctors and nurses under the stage, Li Weidong said slowly.
He knew that his salary had just been reduced this morning, and people would be sent to support Country T in the afternoon. Most people probably didn't want to go.
"I know everyone doesn't want to go, but the main staffing of the medical team in the rescue team will be adjusted according to the nature of the disaster. Team members must master basic pre-hospital first aid techniques, as well as advanced life support techniques and have knowledge of pre-hospital first aid. Rich experience, and also have high requirements in terms of psychological quality and physical fitness. The main task of the first batch of medical staff is classification and preliminary treatment, so experienced emergency doctors in the pre-hospital should be the main force, and later stable treatment requires clinical Experienced elite experts in various subjects will take charge.”
"So, our center must recruit people."
Li Weidong was also a little helpless as he spoke.
If someone is sent to rescue a certain place in their own country, everyone has a duty to do so, but going to country T?
As far as our country is concerned, the medical work of post-disaster rescue is roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is the timely treatment of the injured, which includes on-site treatment, injury identification and transportation.
Generally speaking, this is when a group of doctors go to safe points near the disaster area to set up first aid stations. This aid station does three things:
The first thing is to identify the injury, including declaring the casualty dead. Then establish priorities according to different injuries, which ones require on-site first aid, which ones can be simply treated and left alone, which ones need to be sent out immediately, and which ones can wait. This matter is important because in the early stages of the disaster, the number of doctors who can enter and the transportation capacity to the rear are very limited, and it is impossible to provide everyone with adequate medical treatment according to the standards in the hospital.
The second thing is to deal with emergency situations and give the minimum necessary treatment. For example, hemostasis, initial fixation of fractures, analgesia, primary debridement, antibiotics, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, etc.
The third thing is to transfer patients to the rear, one doctor and one group, to solve accidents during the transfer and to facilitate subsequent handovers.
Generally speaking, different post-disaster periods have different needs for doctors.
In the early stage, the focus was on emergency surgery, with the main focus being extraskeletal and brain surgery, which requires physical fitness and on-the-spot courage, and is more likely to be performed by young people.
In the mid-term, the focus is on the prevention and control of infectious diseases, which requires professional talents, but the conditions are the worst and the most physically demanding as they have to go deep into the disaster area.
The later stages focus on psychological, rehabilitation and guidance work, requiring high-level experts.
"Director, I will lead the team this time."
Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.
This time, a medical team is to be formed. The team leader must be at least a deputy director-level doctor. With so many things going on with Li Weidong, it is impossible for him to lead the team.
According to Lin Haizhou's words, Zhao Sheng felt that he had been exhausted recently and was close to dying suddenly.
Therefore, Zhao Sheng, who had just become deputy director, could only do his duty.
In the past, people would still be willing to go to Country T, which is a tourist destination in Southeast Asia. After the support is completed, they can stay for a few days to experience the different customs.
But now, many people are no longer willing to travel to country T.
Especially recently, the reputation of tourism in Southeast Asia is not very good. It used to be the first choice for going abroad for sunshine and beaches, but it has become what everyone calls "beware of your waist."
Being kidnapped or something like that is of course only a small probability event, but it also reflects the current trend.
This kind of thing is like "pony crossing the river", whether it is deep or shallow, you can only know it by yourself.
But who would let go of a good life at home and insist on taking a trip to see if the water is deep?
The most important thing is that the impact of movies like "She Vanished" and "Desperate" continues.
Of course, Zhao Sheng led the team to provide medical support, so safety was definitely guaranteed.
"I go."
Li Mujia said calmly.
"I am coming too."
Song Wei said immediately.
Seeing that Li Mujia and Song Wei both volunteered, the others looked unsurprised.
Zhao Sheng looked at Zhou Jun and Zong Bao in the audience. The two people were a little entangled as to whether to go or not.
Sure enough, after Li Mujia and Song Wei took the initiative to ask for help, no one took the initiative to come forward again.
Seeing such a situation, Li Weidong was not surprised. If something happened somewhere in the country, everyone would definitely rush to go there. After all, there would still be something to gain when you come back.
But going to country T?
