Chapter 973
Two girls, one crying and one already unconscious.
"Sis, wake up!"
It seems to be her sister.
Evie moved quickly, despite her small stature, she walked extremely fast even in the water, the crazy water flow seemed to have no effect on her at all.
Mostly because of her strength, she had been practicing shooting since she was a child, the water pressure was nothing in front of her.
She brought the two sisters to a safe place, then quickly turned back to continue rescuing the people who had not come out of the carriage.
On the safe ground around them, a doctor was kneeling down to help the unconscious people in a row on the ground.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The doctor's white coat was already soaked through, but he still continued to perform CPR on the unconscious individuals.
Evie immediately instructed the Royal Galaxy's private doctor she had brought with her, "Dr. Santiago, you also help with CPR, we will continue to rescue people from the carriage."
Dr. Santiago was one of Dr. Munoz's apprentices, very young, and was originally helping the people inside the carriage.
Now upon hearing Evie's words, he immediately started to help the unconscious people along with the other doctor.
One by one, the people trapped inside the subway were all rescued.
Some of the unconscious individuals slowly regained consciousness, while a few with weaker physical conditions were taken to the arriving ambulances for further treatment. Surviving a catastrophe, everyone seemed to become especially cautious of their own lives.
Hand in hand, they walked out in a line through the water.
But some anxious family members rushed in to search for their loved ones trapped inside, one man couldn't find his wife and knelt down on the ground crying in despair. But there was no one left inside the carriage, the only possibility was that she had been washed away.
He knelt on the ground, "Please, please, find her, find her, please?"
Evie quickly helped him up, "We will continue the search, we have a motorboat, our people will use the motorboat to search."
Disaster is ruthless, humanity is too insignificant.
She worriedly looked at the various expressions of life around her, thinking of Jasper, she took out her phone from under her life jacket and called Jasper, but there was no answer.
Her heart skipped a beat, but at that moment someone called for her, and without thinking about anything else, she dove into another round of rescues.
Meanwhile, in the tunnel of the overpass, Jasper and Franklin's group had already rescued all the people trapped inside that tunnel.
They all floated to the surface, their bodies soaked, not knowing if it was sweat or rain. But they were truly exhausted.
At this point, the rain was no longer as intense as before, but it was still pouring.
The sky seemed to have been torn open by a demon's fork, constantly pouring water down below.
Near the elevated bridge, there was a hospital that used to be a ten-minute drive away, but now Sylvia was dragging this woman forward desperately, swimming until the water could reach her knees. She started to carry the woman on her back, fresh blood continuously poured from the woman's abdominal wound, Sylvia could almost feel the woman's body temperature gradually dropping, becoming colder and colder.
"Madam! You must hold on, the hospital is almost there!"
Sylvia kept calling into the woman's ear, but by then the woman was already in pain, she had lost consciousness and slipped into a coma.
She couldn't hear anything, but Sylvia kept trying to awaken her consciousness.
The rain kept pouring down on both of them, and as they neared the hospital, Sylvia suddenly saw several doctors and nurses rushing out from the hospital, carrying stretchers in their hands.
An ambulance was also coming from a distance, it seemed they were about to take in the patients.
Sylvia rushed towards the ambulance, waving her hand, and shouted to the doctors at the hospital entrance, "Help! Come save her!"
The driver sitting in the ambulance saw her waving from afar and immediately told a doctor inside the vehicle, "That lady ahead seems to be carrying a patient on her back!"
The doctor immediately informed the doctors waiting below, and two young and strong male doctors jumped into the water and rushed towards Sylvia with big strides.
When they reached Sylvia, they immediately took over the woman on her back and hurried towards the emergency room of the hospital, shouting as they walked, "This patient is critically ill!"
"She has lost too much blood and is in danger." With the woman's weight off her back, Sylvia quickly followed after, "I am a surgeon at Lilypad General Hospital. She was pinched by the car door in the rushing water, the current was very strong, the water pressure was intense, so she suffered severe injuries."
"It is estimated that her internal organs are also crushed and injured, I recommend an immediate full-body examination."
Her voice was fast, and the doctor carrying the woman had already rushed into the emergency room.
As they put the woman on the bed, everyone took off her clothes and realized that her lower abdomen had been crushed beyond recognition, and after being soaked in rain, it was almost impossible to make out the original appearance.
Sylvia placed her fingers on the woman's pulse while scanning her surroundings.
The emergency room had long turned into chaos, with many patients who had been in the water for too long needing to be saved. Every nurse and doctor was busy rushing around, almost floating on air, moving hastily.
One doctor accidentally saw Sylvia checking the woman's pulse and was startled, "Does she still have a pulse? What's her condition?"
"The pulse is faint, very weak, she needs immediate suturing surgery."
Sylvia said calmly.
The doctor was taken aback, "She hasn't been examined yet, the examination room is crowded, it's not her turn..."
She was so severely injured, if she doesn't get treated soon... She's in real danger.
Sylvia stood up from her chair, dripping wet all over, with water droplets falling from her clothes, soaking the small spot where she stood.
"Now arrange for surgery immediately, I'll do it."
"You... You do?"
Upon hearing that she was going to perform the surgery, the doctor was shocked, and the medical staff around, who had been initially busy, stopped their work, stunned at her decision. "Can you do it? Do you have your medical license with you? Aren't you a doctor at our hospital?"
"Responsible matters like this, be careful not to be overly ambitious."
Doubtful voices kept coming.
"Are you crazy to want to be a hero these days?"
Sylvia lazily raised her eyelids and glanced at them, "I am Sylvia, a surgeon at Lilypad General Hospital. This surgery must be done by me. Can anyone at your hospital do it?"
She pointed to the woman's
mangled abdominal wound, where
her intestines were almost visible through the broken skin, "Her injuries are very severe, if we delay any. longen she will lose all signs of life. I saved her from the water at great risk, and I don't want anything unfortunate to happen to her undermining my efforts to rescue her from the water."
"... Sylvia?"
"The best surgeon at Lilypad General Hospital?"
"God!"
"You... Dr. Sylvia, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you."
From the initial shock, the doctor became embarrassed, Sylvia was dripping wet, her hair was also wet and scattered on her back, who could recognize her?
On closer examination, it was indeed...
Someone had already taken out their phone and started comparing Sylvia's photos from the internet.
"It really looks like her!"
"Arrange the operating room immediately!"
"Yes, hurry up."
"This patient must not die."
So... the once quiet and rigid emergency room was once again bustling with activity.
"Um, Dr. Sylvia, the patient's family hasn't signed the surgery consent form... what should we do?"
Sylvia's voice was firm. "I'll take full responsibility. It has nothing to do with your hospital."
In just about ten minutes, the operating room was ready, and the injured woman was wheeled into the operating room. Sylvia had by then taken off her dripping wet clothes, and changed into sterile surgical attire.
After making all preparations, she entered the makeshift operating room in the emergency room.
Inside the operating room, there were only two nurses serving as her assistants, as there was a shortage of medical staff due to the continuous arrival of injured patients from the water.
The emergency room was located
on the first floor of the hospital, and
this temporary and rudimentary operating room was also inside the emergency room, but no one had anticipated that the heavy rain would flood the hospital's ground
floor.
The rainwater kept flooding into the hospital lobby, and knee-deep water flowed into various departments.
The water rose up to their calves
and knees, and in such a situation,
the two young nurses were trembling with fear, their hands shaking. The excitement they had accompanying Sylvia to perform surgery had turned heavy and fearful.
"Are we going to drown?"
"Shouldn't we stop?"
"Shut up, focus on the surgery." Sylvia coldly interrupted their conversation. "I know how to swim, no one will die."
The surgery proceeded smoothly, but suddenly, halfway through the surgery, the room went dark as the lights in the operating room went out.
"Power outage? It must be due to the heavy rain causing electrical issues." The voice of one nurse sounded panicked.
"What do we do now?" the other nurse asked.
"Turn on the emergency lights, flashlight, don't panic." Sylvia's calm voice immediately came through. "The operation must not be abandoned, a life is at stake."
"Yes, yes."
The nurse quickly turned on the emergency lights, while the other turned on a flashlight.
Outside the operating room, the entire hospital was plunged into panic due to the power outage, with doctors and nurses soothing patients and their families in loud voices.
"Don't panic, we have backup power."
"We will never abandon the patients."
"Don't worry, in times of disaster, we must unite."
"Hold on, we must hold on."
Meanwhile, inside the operating room, Sylvia continued the surgery with determination, her gaze fixed on the surgical site, "Hemostatic forceps."
If others couldn't do it, just let Sylvia do it for them.
