Section 887 - Deserted Village
"No, don't ......"
The young man Cui Jianqiang wanted to object, he didn't want to be so troublesome, but he didn't want his head to rise, his eyes were full of stars, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
His girlfriend threw away the snack bag in her hand and screamed in panic.
"Strong, strong, you're okay!"
I shouted twice, but I didn't respond at all.
Who would have thought that altitude sickness would come at once without warning.
"Pinch people!"
A voice came from the passenger seat, and it was Li Bai who spoke, although he was a psychiatric doctor, he still knew some basic rescue techniques.
The philtrum acupoint under the nose is one of the best ways to temporarily awaken a coma.
In the hurry, Cui Jianqiang, who was strangled by the people, woke up slowly, gasped, and grinned.
His girlfriend's nails were sharp and pinched the skin of his upper lip, leaving deep finger marks and painful pain.
However, altitude sickness is not a cure for the symptoms by pinching people's acupoints, Cui Jianqiang is out of breath again, like a fish out of water, trying to breathe hard, but the amount of oxygen inhaled into the lungs is still far from enough.
Hypoxia and low air pressure are the main causes of altitude sickness, the first of which is the most important.
"Do you have an oxygen cylinder?"
Li Bai's eyes swept the corners of the carriage.
The Highlander driver even had a humidifier and maybe a necessary oxygen cylinder for the plateau.
"Yes, yes, yes! in the toolbox in front of you. ”
After Li Bai reminded him of this, the driver surnamed Gao immediately remembered.
I pulled open the toolbox, and sure enough, I saw two portable oxygen tanks in the shape of insecticide spray cans.
It's just that the insecticide sprays insects, while the oxygen tank sprays people.
As expected, the attentive driver took into account all the circumstances and was very well prepared in the car.
Li Bai took out one of the cans and flipped it in his hand.
The weight was heavy, very pressing, it should have not been used, it was still full, and then turned around and handed it to the little couple.
At this juncture, an oxygen tank can be a lifesaver.
The girl who shared snacks in the car before thanked her, quickly took the oxygen tank, pressed the breathing mask against her boyfriend's mouth and nose, and sprayed it again and again.
The gas tank hissed and sprayed high-purity oxygen, and although the air pressure in the cabin did not change much, the effect was immediate.
The rapidly increasing concentration of inhaled oxygen made Cui Jianqiang, who had fallen into a coma, gradually ease up, reopened his eyes, and greedily inhaled oxygen.
However, the storage capacity of the oxygen tank is limited, so the clinic still has to hang a large oxygen cylinder to continue to supply oxygen, otherwise it will be interrupted for a while, and the mistake will be repeated.
Relying on the familiarity with the road conditions, the senior driver, who had not slowed down, asked without looking back: "Xiao He, there are still a few minutes, I will bring two cans of oxygen, and I won't last long." ”
There are only two cans of oxygen in the passenger seat toolbox, which will be depleted in a maximum of an hour.
On the plateau, once altitude sickness occurs, seemingly inconspicuous oxygen tanks in small bottles can sometimes mean a life.
"It's almost there, there are ten minutes left, you can see the T-junction, turn right!"
As He Jian, a college student, said, after ten minutes, Highlander turned a corner, drove into a small road, and soon saw a large pasture.
I used to fight with my friends in groups, and I bandaged my wounds here, so I know the place.
In this area, the term pasture mainly refers to the place where the herders live.
There is no problem with calling the village, the administrative name is ×× village, mainly animal husbandry, no farmland can be seen, occasionally there is a small area of strictly guarded vegetable fields or vegetable greenhouses, and the villagers' daily life mainly revolves around their own cattle.
As long as there is grass and water, it can be called pasture, often without a fence, and the yaks run unscrupulously, grazing grass and drinking water, but the herders have their own way of distinguishing which one is their own.
There is also a fence, which is only used to enclose the residential area to avoid the encroachment of the cattle, and with the size and weight of the yak, if you want to occupy the road illegally and lose your temper, even if there is a trailer, there is no way.
On the side of the road, four or five meters high, a large iron sheet hangs on the cement telephone pole, which is not square and round, and on it is written in red paint the Tibetan and Chinese characters "Deji Village", which looks more like a sail from a distance, and when a strong wind blows, it will make a rattling sound.
The bottom of the cement pole is tightly piled up by large and small stones more than a meter high, and there are several waste tires, and the top radiates out more than a dozen thin ropes in all directions, and strings of colorful small pennants are hung, fluttering in the wind.
Maybe it's to be more eye-catching, but basically it's as simple as it gets.
There are mostly pragmatists here, and it is not uncommon to use a wave wheel washing machine to make ghee, since Haier lit up the ghee washing machine, a branch of the technology tree...... The ghee machines all have a strong washing machine style.
The white seven Highlanders sounded their horns all the way and broke into Deji Village in a hurry.
The village was empty, but there was no one in sight, not even a lively one, only a few chimneys with curling smoke, indicating the existence of people here.
The smell of cow dung is in the air, and because of the lack of firewood and coal, dry cow dung, rich in crude fiber, is naturally the most economical fuel.
Burning poop, of course, will have a special burning smell, those who are not used to it will feel unpleasant, and those who are used to it will feel kind.
The large red cross emblem, although somewhat mottled and faded, is very conspicuous in the village.
"Doctor, doctor! Someone has altitude sickness!"
Under the instructions of college student He Jian, the Highlander driver and Li Bai, who parked the car steadily, supported Cui Jianqiang, who was weak in his hands and feet, and took three steps and two steps, and walked into the health station with the door open and only two thick curtains.
The health station in Deji Village is just a color steel tile shack sandwiched with thermal insulation materials, which is even more simple than the container-style housing that Li Bai once saw at the foot of Helan Mountain, with a horizontal and vertical area of only more than 20 square meters, half of which is a pharmacy, half of which is a diagnosis and treatment room with two beds, and a desk is a little cramped.
The main function is to sell medicine, to see bruises and headaches, brain fever, small colds or something.
If you have a fever of more than 38 degrees or break a bone and bleed, I'm sorry, go to a big hospital and don't waste time here.
In the highlands, medical oxygen cylinders are standard, and one or two can be seen at grassroots health stations like this one.
At one end of the two hospital beds, against the wall, each leaned on a large steel cylinder the thickness of an adult's waist.
The two portable oxygen tanks stored in the Highlander's passenger seat toolbox are far from comparable to this "regular army" in terms of volume and capacity.
"Where's the man? I didn't see the doctor!
The middle-aged woman who came home from work looked inside and out, but she didn't see the doctor.
She shouted at the top of her voice, "Help!
is worthy of being a local, and his voice is loud and spreads far away.
Strangely, no one responded.
The village seemed deserted.
"What should I do?
As Cui Jianqiang's girlfriend, the girl jumped on the spot in a hurry, and saw that the medical oxygen cylinder that was nearly more than one person high was too strong to make it, for fear that the misoperation would blow it up.
The cylinder is filled with high-pressure oxygen, which is sprayed directly on people, which is not a joke.
"What should I do? Who will fiddle with the oxygen cylinder?
The college student He Jian who pointed the way was also very numb, he was not a doctor, so naturally he would not fiddle with this thing.
"Neither will I!"
The tall driver scratched his head, helpless.
It's very common, but I don't know how to use it because I can't use it.
Although this large cylinder has a large amount of oxygen, it is not as convenient to use as a portable small cylinder.
"That's it!"
The breathing mask was buckled on the face of the young man lying on the hospital bed, Li Bai clapped his hands, and it was easy to do.
"Hey, hey, you, you, don't mess around!"
Driver Gao's eyes widened suddenly, but he didn't expect that when they were still at a loss, someone would simply put a breathing mask on the young man, is this okay?
Oxygen irrigation requires technology, you can't simply unscrew the valve and hard irrigate, less oxygen is not good, more is not good, high concentration of oxygen is easy to cause lung damage, this is not a joke.
Li Bai said confidently: "I am a doctor, I have a certificate!"
He had learned a complete range of first aid techniques, even how to treat gunshot wounds.
If nothing else, even if you don't see a mental illness, there is no problem in opening a small clinic, which is enough to be easily competent.
The girl asked weakly, "Which subject are you?" ”
"Psychiatric!"
Wait, something seems wrong?
