"Thanks to the doctors, when the earthquake occurred, they carried me to the square..." In the medical tent, the Bai old man gratefully gave a thumbs up to the medical staff of the 75th Army Hospital.
At 21:48 on May 21, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake occurred in Yangpi County, Dali Prefecture, and the hospital felt the earthquake obviously. The party committee of the hospital reacted at the first time, launched the plan, organized the field medical team to set up a field tent, transferred the patients in the ward, prepared material equipment, and was ready to go out at any time.
At this time, a newly admitted patient in the general surgery department is to be diagnosed with acute appendicitis with localized peritonitis, and the attending doctor's physical examination found that the patient had signs of peritonitis, and the biochemical indicators seriously exceeded the standard, and the consequences of not doing surgery were unimaginable. At this time, however, there were still aftershocks. The general surgery director with rich experience in field surgery temporarily decided to transfer the operating room, and the field operating room was prepared in seconds, and the surgical treatment was successfully carried out for the patient with the full cooperation of various departments, and the patient's condition is currently stable.
It is reported that the hospital's 30-person emergency medical team is in a state of readiness for war all year round, has participated in the task of guarding exercises many times, and most of the team members have received training in the treatment of the wounded in the background of the earthquake, and have rich experience in the treatment of war wounds.
Chen Liusheng, the leader of the medical team, introduced that after the earthquake, while doing a good job in the transfer of patients at the hospital level, the medical team combined with the climatic characteristics of the plateau in the earthquake area to prepare relevant medical rescue equipment and drugs to ensure that under a single order, the medical team can quickly rush out, save and cure well!
