Chapter 118 Overlooking the Turtle (4/4)(1/2)
Almost all people who go to the plateau for the first time will have a high rebellion.
But most patients with high reflexes do not endanger their lives.
However, there are also few people who are rapidly exposed to ultra-high altitude areas, which leads to acute plateau pulmonary edema and even cerebral edema.
The incidence of acute plateau pulmonary edema is about 3%.
If acute plateau pulmonary edema occurs in cities, the patient will be almost in danger of life. But if he gets this disease in a remote high-altitude area, it is hard to say.
Generally speaking, if a patient suffers from acute plateau pulmonary edema, if he can be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment within one or two hours, the probability of rescue is still very high. But once it exceeds two hours, it will only be a matter of his or her duties.
Especially if you suffer from cerebral edema with a higher mortality rate...
In the 1960s and 1970s, the mortality rate of acute plateau pulmonary edema could be as high as 20%, while the mortality rate of cerebral edema was as high as 30%.
Although the mortality rate of these two acute diseases has been greatly reduced, it must not be taken lightly.
Like what Lao Liu heard when he passed by Wudaoliang before, many of them died of acute plateau pulmonary edema or cerebral edema...
The young man in front of him is a typical acute plateau pulmonary edema.
If he was in Dangquka County, although his illness was very serious, it could still be cured very smoothly. After all, where is the medical conditions in the hospital?
But here, at the Genla Pass, which is nearly forty kilometers away from the county town, if you get this disease, I pray that the ambulance will run faster.
Once acute plateau pulmonary edema develops, it will first cause pulmonary hypertension due to hypoxia, and then pulmonary congestion, which will cause left heart failure and then cause a series of serious chain reactions.
Usually, in addition to oxygen inhalation, many other drugs must be used, such as diuretics and antibiotics to treat lung infections.
Only by combining a variety of drugs with high flow oxygen inhalation can this acute and critical illness be treated.
But here, obviously, such conditions are not met...
When these people heard Lao Liu's words, they turned their heads and looked at Lao Liu holding a bottle of mineral water.
A policeman frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Comrade police officer, I am a tourist. But I have a potion that can relieve altitude retardation and even treat altitude retardation, and may also be effective for acute plateau pulmonary edema."
"Are you a doctor?" Another policeman also asked frowned.
"No." Old Liu shook his head, "I am the owner of Tianlu Inn in Obacuo, Zhongning Township. My surname is Liu. Wang Chaoyang, the instructor of Zhongning Township Police Station, is one of my uncles..."
In this case, it is obviously not enough to do good deeds without leaving a name, and this is not the time to be sluggish, so Lao Liu directly brought Wang Chaoyang out.
Not to mention, the two policemen immediately calmed down when they heard Wang Chaoyang's name, but they obviously didn't believe that Lao Liu could treat altitude sickness and still did not get out of the way.
However, the construction team leader asked in surprise: "Are you the boss Liu who can cure altitude sickness? The boss Liu from Tianlu Inn?"
Old Liu nodded, and the man immediately said to the two policemen excitedly: "Comrade Police, this boss Xiao Liu may really be able to cure Xiao Luo. Many people know about Boss Xiao Liu's ability to cure atrocities, and I have also heard of it from my fellow villagers."
As he said that, the man explained to Lao Liu again: "Boss Xiao Liu? You should know that he is a Bashu man named Feng in Quka County who works in decoration? Well? He broke his leg some time ago, and he had a good relationship with a decoration manager in the county construction company."
When this man said this, Lao Liu immediately remembered the scene when he first came to the plateau to drink with Danzengjeb. When he was drinking that night, Danzengjeb was worried. Later, he said that he broke his leg while working with an old friend who had been with him for a long time.
It seems that the worker who broke his leg was surnamed Feng.
"Hmm? I heard Captain Danzengjeb talk about this."
"Yes, that's right? It's Danzengjeb. My fellow villager, Lao Feng, followed Manager Danzengjeb to decorate."
The man said? He turned his head excitedly and said to the two policemen: "Comrade Police, please let this boss Liu give it a try. His ancestral secret medicine is really effective in treating altitude reflux. I just heard that many tourists who come to the plateau have altitude reflux were cured by this boss Liu."
The policeman who was the first to speak suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization. He hesitated to his partner: "I seem to have heard of such a person who can cure altitude sickness? At first I didn't believe it..."
Another policeman looked at Lao Liu again? He turned his head and looked at the Xiaolong parked not far away, and then asked hesitantly: "Are you really sure you can treat this young man?"
Old Liu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but now everyone is like this. If the ambulance doesn't come, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on. Instead of doing this, why do I give it a try? What if it can work?"
The policeman just hesitated for two seconds and said to the men: "Please help him up."
Lao Liu immediately unscrewed the bottle cap of the mineral water? The police took off the oxygen mask hanging on the young man's mouth and nose.
"Drink this water in a small mouthful!" Old Liu immediately squatted down and said to the young man.
Although the young man was cyanotic, his consciousness had not been lost yet. Hearing this, he opened his mouth and drank water in small sips.
Although patients with acute plateau pulmonary edema try not to drink too much water, they don’t care about that much at this time.
To put it bluntly? This young man is now just trying to save his life.
Others don’t know this? The two policemen who have been on duty here all year round know it very well. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to let Lao Liu pour water on this young man.
After using a bottle of water, I drank it in less than a minute? Then the young man was laid flat again.
Just as a group of people were looking at each other with eager and expectant eyes, three or four minutes later, the young man, who was not sure whether he was surnamed Luo or Xiao Luo, gradually calmed down, and the color of his lips gradually became less blue and purple...
Who doesn't know what this change is, so the six or seven people, including the two policemen, immediately cheered excitedly, and the captain even hugged Lao Liu in excitement.
"You did it, you saved Xiao Luo, you saved Xiao Luo..."
The two policemen also patted Lao Liu on the shoulder with uncontrollable smiles on their faces, grinning.
But he still laughed loudly.
Similar situations have not happened before. The car accident that morning and the treatment today made Lao Liu feel particularly satisfied.
Sure enough, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun!
Not to mention the joyful point that surges in from the Five Elements Jade Hourglass...
Seeing that the young man had basically recovered, Lao Liu then hugged the few people and trotted back to the Xiaolong Off-Road Vehicle, opened the door and left...
"How is that young man?" Molan asked as soon as his son got into the car.
"It should be fine. The secret recipe my second uncle got really effective. The young man just now was cyanotic and had acute pulmonary edema, but after a bottle of potion was poured, it relieved a lot in three or four minutes. According to this situation, the ambulance came and pulled the young man to the county hospital, and the possibility of cure was more than 90%.
Seeing his son saying it was certain, Liu Dahe patted his son's shoulder with relief, "Good job! Son!"
Chu Qian also smiled and said, "Save a life better than building a seven-level Buddhist temple! Brother Liu, you are really great!"
Although my mother didn't praise her, her expression showed that she was very happy now.
I am in a good mood and enjoy everything I see. Not to mention that this is a plateau and lake scenic spot that can be counted all over the world, which is very refreshing.
After crossing the Genla Pass, I started to go all the way down, but the winding mountain road is not easy to walk, and there are many places with bumpy pits.
And looking east, it seems that new roads are also being built to the east. It is estimated that the newly built road will meet the old road at the Genla Pass, and then this dilapidated road will be temporarily abandoned or renovated.
Sure enough, after walking a few kilometers forward, after climbing a large slope, a road that had been repaired met with the old road. However, there was a pile of earth and stones between the new road and the old road. It was obvious that the road had not opened yet. (PS: On November 16 last year, Lao Mo and his brother drove to Namcuo, but they were blocked when they came back. The reason was that there were several large trucks on the old road that could not get on the road because the road was frozen and the wheels were slipping. The vehicle was blocked for several kilometers. Finally, the construction party came to drive a forklift to push the earth and stones that blocked the road away. My brother's Prado was fortunate to become the first car to take the new road...)
After getting off the mountain, I quickly arrived at Namcuo Township. The highway was divided here. On one side, it was the road to Bangor, and the other was the way to turn west. This was the road to the Tashi Peninsula. However, there were about fifty miles from Namcuo Township to the Tashi Peninsula!
The car headed westward, on the left was the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains that were close to each other, on the right was the vast Namtau Lake, and on both sides of the road were endless grasslands. Groups of cattle and sheep were trying hard to eat grass and gain weight before winter came.
"It's really beautiful here!" Even though Chu Qian sat behind her, she looked at the scenery outside the car with a fascination.
Indeed, the scenery here is really indescribable.
The sky is the clear and pure blue that makes people unable to find adjectives to describe. The sky is white and it also makes people unable to find adjectives to describe snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and lakes can still be described in this way. As for the grassland that still tenaciously maintains yellow and green, it also makes people unable to think of any adjectives.
If it weren't for the parents and a lady sitting in the car, Lao Liu could only use "fuck" to express it now.
There is no way, who made Lao Liu uneducated and go around the world with just one word...
After the car drove west for a distance, a not-so-high stone tablet appeared on the side of the road.
Although Liu Dahe has only been here for a day, he has already understood one thing along the way. As long as such a stone tablet appears on the roadside, it will definitely be a scenic spot.
The car was parked aside, and the four of them got out of the car and arrived in front of this large stone with a height of about one meter and two meters in the middle of winter.
This stone has four words engraved on it - the divine turtle from afar.
"My God, why is there such a scary skull on it? Is this a cow's skull?" Mo Lan was startled, and Chu Qian simply took Mo Lan's arm directly, and a look of horror appeared on her face.
To be honest, Lao Liu was also feeling a little embarrassed by this strange decoration. After all, a cow skull suddenly appeared on a good stone tablet. Whoever saw it wouldn't be shy?
Moreover, there are several Hadas tied to the cow skull...
Liu Dahe scolded: "Don't talk nonsense here. Why scare people? This is obviously a totem worship ceremony for local Tibetans. This is a very solemn way of worship, so don't talk nonsense here. If you are afraid, don't get close to it."
Lao Liu was also a little surprised that his father was doing this, and why did he dare to speak to the Empress Dowager, Lady Buddha in this tone.
What Lao Liu did not expect was that his mother said embarrassedly: "Okay, why don't I be wrong?"
This is obviously admitting a mistake.
Old Liu immediately started to pull out his phone, and within a short while he found an explanation for this.
"Mom, my dad is right. This cow skull is the totem worship of Tibetans. You see, the totem of our Han people is a dragon, but for Tibetans, their totem is a yak. So a bull head here is actually a totem worship ceremony."
My mother nodded, but did not get closer to the stone tablet.
Standing at this position and looking north, you will find two mountains in the distance, one big, one small, one tall and one short. From this angle, these two mountains really look like a huge thousand-year-old turtle lying on the ground. The tall and large mountain has a turtle body, while the small and short one is a head. It is really vivid, and people will sigh at the magic of nature at a glance.
Just like the magical sleeping Buddha in Leshan, which consists of three mountains, the principle of the divine turtle from afar is actually similar to that sleeping Buddha.
However, the scenery is really good with your eyes, but it won’t work if you leave it in the photo.
At least Lao Liu took so many photos with his mobile phone, but from his mobile phone, he had no charm of a divine turtle at all.
No wonder this attraction doesn't seem to be very famous.
After passing this attraction, you can continue to drive forward, and you can see the observation decks built of wood from time to time on both sides, but Liu's father did not stop.
To be continued...
