Chapter 113 The Red Cross (2)
Although what I got was just an ambiguous answer, it was already a huge surprise for Jenny to have such a hope. She had infinite admiration for Elizabeth since she was a child.
Instead of continuing the topic, Danica asked, “What are you doing now?”
Although Jennie wanted to talk more about the Holy Maiden of Light, since Danica did not plan to continue, she could only suppress her excitement and curiosity, calmed down, and introduced to Danica: "A few of us volunteers who know medicine formed a small medical team to help here. Because many victims of the earthquake were injured, the priests arranged by the Holy See have always been very nervous. Our medical team is very popular!"
Danica said with interest: "Is that so? Can I take a look?"
Jenny said happily: "Of course."
Jennie guided Danica towards their medical tent. Jennie took a step and noticed that she was walking slowly. She could see that Danica was supporting her body with a cane. She asked in surprise: "Miss Fengyu, what's wrong with you?"
Danica smiled and said, "I was injured a little before, but now I'm not seriously injured. Just pay attention to rest."
"Ah? Then you have to pay attention to your health!" Jennie comforted her. Although she was also very curious about how Danica was so injured, it seemed that she was not only "somewhat was a little injured", but it was not convenient to investigate such things if others didn't say it.
Jenny helped Danica slowly towards their tent.
What surprised Danica was that Jennie had a high prestige here. No matter what she was busy with, she would greet Jennie when she saw Jennie. Moreover, there were more than a few people in their medical team. According to Danica's estimate, at least more than twenty should be busy here.
Danica asked, "Are you the captain here?"
Jenny said embarrassedly: "No, it's just that everyone needs to recommend a representative to handle the chores, so I was selected, everyone is the same."
Danica smiled and said nothing. The doctors and nursing staff were not so "equal" in their attitude towards Jenny. When they looked at Jenny, they were obviously looking at their superiors.
It seems that this little girl has some tricks. The high prestige gained in a team dominated by volunteers at least proves that Jennie's organizational and coordination skills are very good.
After a simple turn, Jenny helped Danica into a tent, which was a tent used as a ward.
The tent for Zhenni's medical team was quite large, with more than 40 square meters inside. There were two rows of beds slightly crowded. All the beds were full, and some patients were still lying on temporary bed boards.
The ward is not a pleasant place. Although disaster relief supplies have arrived one after another, medicines and doctors are still scarce. The injuries that can lie here for treatment are relatively serious. After all, many victims who were seriously injured died in less than three days.
Danica listened to Jennie's introduction to the situation. In fact, many victims' injuries were not serious, but because of the trauma and the lack of clean water in the disaster area, the wounds were not well treated, so the suppuration and infection were very serious.
"Some are even at risk of amputation." Jenny said worriedly, "Miss Fengyu, you may not know that an amputation will be a huge burden for the entire family." In this world, ordinary civilian families have a hard life and need to do their best to survive. Even so, many children die due to malnutrition. The lack of any labor force is a huge disaster for maintaining the family.
"It's not that serious." Danica said with some confusion. Of course, wound infection is very dangerous, but at most the injury is worsening, which is more troublesome to deal with. As for amputation?
"But there is no way, things in the world are so bad, so we hope to be saved and forgiven by the Holy Light." Zhenni said devoutly, "I just hope that the reverence of the Holy Light can help me eliminate some inner sins, otherwise I would not be able to face the desperate gaze of the person who had just had an amputation."
"There are many amputations?" Danica asked.
"Yes." Jenny nodded in pain and said, "I will need to help a patient remove his left leg."
"Can I see this patient?" Danica still couldn't believe that a wound infection would be so serious.
"Okay, please come with me." Jenny was not angry about Danica's suspicion of the condition. She would be very happy if she could cure the patient.
Jenny led Danica to a bedside. A distance away, Danica smelled a strong stench. It was not easy to smell such a strong smell in a ward filled with various medicines.
It was a middle-aged man, and his hard work made his face look like cracked bark.
Jenny walked to him, checked the patient's condition before lifting the blanket covering him.
Danica walked over and looked at it, nodded quickly, indicating that she understood. Jennie quickly put down the blanket. She knew that if it weren't for a doctor, most people would be unacceptable to such a disgusting wound, especially when they saw it for the first time.
The two of them said nothing. Jennie took Danica outside the tent. The cool wind blew, Danica felt that her sense of smell seemed to be saved. She took a few deep breaths and said, "It's really bad." The man's left leg rotted from his thigh to his knee, completely rotted. Danica even saw the white bones and exposed blood vessels. With such a serious condition, there was no other way except amputation.
Jenny was also a little depressed, she said: "Actually, his wound was not big at the beginning, but because of the infection, the situation became so bad."
Danica hesitated for a moment and said, "Wound infection is really troublesome. I want to confirm with you one thing. I heard that infection has a lot to do with hygiene."
"Yes, paying attention to hygiene and carefully and thoroughly cleaning the wound will greatly reduce the chance of infection..." Jenny suddenly stopped halfway through her speech, her face flushed, "We still have too few people, so...so..." So after a long time, she didn't say anything.
