Episode 47: Lending a helping hand
"Forest nurse, I'll come instead..."
At this moment, Lin Xiao Yun was using both hands to press down on the injured person's thigh, temporarily relieving the speed of arterial bleeding through compression. However, it was unclear whether her technique was insufficient or the injury was simply too severe, but despite her best efforts, the situation did not seem to be improving at all. Just as she was getting anxious and didn't know what to do, a faintly familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, causing her body to stiffen and her head to unconsciously lift up, only to see an unexpected face that she never could have imagined.
"How is it you?" Lin Xiaoyun couldn't think of how the person who came was neither a doctor from the emergency department nor an experienced nurse, but Li Yan, a family member of the patient. Although she admitted to being somewhat curious about this young man, when it came to matters of life and death, no matter what, she couldn't let him randomly interfere, or else if something were to happen later on, nobody would be able to bear the responsibility.
"What's wrong with me." In response to Lin Xiaoyun's astonishment, Li Yan didn't show much expression, but instead directly bypassed her and came to the other side, squatting down beside the injured person. A hint of sharp light flashed in his eyes, and in just an instant, he had already determined the extent of the injury.
"What are you doing here?" Although she knew Li Yan was coming to help with good intentions, Lin Xiao Yun also knew that human life was at stake and couldn't be taken lightly. As a nurse, she couldn't joke about patients' lives no matter what. So when she saw Li Yan, she still frowned coldly and said bluntly: "This isn't the time for you to play hero and think you can save the day. The injured person's situation is already very dangerous. If you want to help, then quickly go call the emergency doctor or our head nurse."
Li Yan didn't pay attention to Lin Xiaoyun, although the girl was beautiful, kind-hearted and responsible, but at this moment, the injured person's condition was already very dangerous, so he decided to save people, naturally putting all his attention on the injured.
At first glance, the wound of the injured person does not seem to be large, only a cut of less than ten centimeters. It should have been cut by the sharp iron sheet that was lifted up when the car collided. Although it is very narrow, the wound is very deep and directly cuts off the main artery on the inside of the thigh.
Although this injury is not an incurable disease, because it is a major artery, the bleeding speed of the injured person is very fast. If timely treatment is not received, it is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the car accident occurred at the gate of the Municipal People's Hospital. Otherwise, if it had happened elsewhere, just waiting for the ambulance would have been enough to cost the injured person their life!
The rupture of the main artery requires vascular suturing to stop bleeding, which is a minor surgical procedure for Western medicine. However, even if it's a small operation, it's not something that a nurse can complete independently, especially an intern nurse like Lin Xiaojun.
However, the entire hospital is now in chaos, and all surgeons are busy with their hands full, it's estimated that no one will come to perform vascular suture surgery for this injured person for a while. But this injured person's condition has clearly become very serious and cannot be delayed any longer.
Even as a loose immortal, Li Yan could clearly feel that the vital energy of the wounded person in front of him was rapidly dwindling, and a faint aura of death was beginning to emerge.
Vitality, hidden in every living being's body, is a mysterious power that sustains life. In short, as long as this power exists within a person or animal's body, they can maintain good health. However, once this power begins to weaken, people and animals will fall ill, while plants will wither and eventually die.
And Li Yan and these scattered immortals, or other cultivators, have been cultivating with all their might to get rid of the control of life over themselves, or directly enhance their own life, so as to reach the highest state of longevity, immortality, and transcendence beyond reincarnation.
To put it bluntly, vitality is a person's life. A person has as much vitality as they have lifespan. Vitality can be replenished through water and food. Young people can absorb more energy, so their vitality is strong. However, the absorption ability of older people gradually weakens and even disappears. Therefore, when their vitality is exhausted, it means that a person has reached the end of their life.
The injured person in front of her was a woman in her thirties, still young and full of vitality. However, despite the strong vitality, she couldn't withstand the continuous loss, and in just a short moment, Li Yan felt that the injured person's vitality had already lost nearly one-tenth. At this rate, it was estimated that it wouldn't take long for all the vitality in her body to disappear completely.
He reached into his pocket and immediately pulled out a needle box, which he had bought when he picked up the medicine he had ordered at the pharmacy last time. He had deliberately purchased it for emergency use, considering what happened to the old man in the park that day. Although the Hundred Herb Needle was incredibly effective, not all illnesses required this kind of divine treasure.
Put the needle box on the ground beside, open the box, and instantly you can see dozens of silver needles of varying lengths, after all, it's not an incurable disease that requires golden needles, let alone hundred-herb needles.
In the blink of an eye, a faint ray of light flashed by, and Li Yan's expression turned solemn. He immediately reached for the silver needle with his right hand, while his left hand formed a knife-like shape with his fingers. With a swift motion, he tore apart the injured person's skirt, revealing their white thighs and the outline of their underwear beneath.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" Lin Xiaoyun saw that Li Yan didn't take her words seriously, and even took out a needle box, intending to operate on the critically injured person without hesitation. Her face instantly turned pale with rage. However, at this moment, her two hands were still pressing down on the blood vessels in the injured person's thigh, unable to stop Li Yan, so she twisted her body, preparing to use her own body to block Li Yan's reckless actions.
"Save him." Li Yan spoke calmly, and at the same time, his right hand holding the silver needle had unconsciously moved away from Lin Xiaojun's body, and with a very strange angle, the needle tip trembled and directly entered a certain acupoint on the injured person's thigh.
"Ah, stop it at once!" Lin Xiaoyun was shocked and lost her composure. At this moment, her heart had almost sunk to the bottom. If something happened to the injured person, not only Li Yan would be in trouble, but she might also be implicated.
Li Yan didn't respond to Lin Xiaoyun, and in the blink of an eye, he had already stabbed two more silver needles into the patient's thigh, right on the vital points. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, and with his fingers extended, almost simultaneously landed on the tips of the three silver needles, lightly plucking them, causing the three silver needles to start vibrating continuously in a strange rhythm.
Lin Xiaoyun, who had never seen such a scene before, couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock!
Li Yan smiled softly and said, "Alright, Nurse Lin, you don't have to press down on the wound's blood vessels anymore. I've used a sealing technique to temporarily stop the bleeding. What's left is figuring out how to repair the damaged artery, that's the key."
Lin Xiaoyun hesitantly raised her hand, and in an instant, she couldn't help but be shocked again, her mouth wide open, feeling that it was really hard to believe what she saw before her eyes...
