Chapter 528 Transfer
Li Zehui has participated in the medical assistance work of the International Red Cross many times, and he is very familiar with Yemen.
The Aden branch of the International Red Cross sent a station wagon to pick them up and take them to the Aden Republic Hospital.
In the observation ward of the emergency department, Robert finally saw Yang Ping. He was so excited that tears fell down and he opened his arms to hug Yang Ping.
Also coming with him were Li Zehui, Dodge, and Amin, a local doctor in Saudi Arabia.
"Professor, we meet again after a long absence. Is everything okay?"
Robert remembered that Yang Ping didn't like to hug men, so he shook hands instead and held Yang Ping's hand tightly.
Yang Ping was very grateful to them: "It's so dangerous, how can you follow me?"
Robert said in the Wenjue form: "Professor, this is a friend in need. How could I put you in danger alone?"
"Robert! Did you bring a medical plane?" Yang Ping immediately confirmed with him.
"Professor, if you think the plane I brought can work, please call me Carrot Head!" Robert said very seriously and a little aggrieved.
It seemed that Yang Ping didn't call him Luobotou, and he was very disappointed.
Yang Ping was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Why did Robert like to be called Carrot Head? Since you like him, let's call him Carrot Head.
It’s not a bad name either, it’s down to earth!
"Luotou, you brought a medical plane?" Yang Ping asked again.
Robert nodded very proudly: "Of course, how could we come empty-handed? After you left, Li and I discussed that we can't stay in Saudi Arabia like this and do nothing. We must do something for you. I think you need to transfer The wounded must need a medical plane, but it is very difficult to find a medical plane now, even in Saudi Arabia. However, we still found one. Li and Dodge also made a lot of efforts in this matter, and provided the same type of red blood cells and plasma as the wounded. We also brought a lot, 4,000 milliliters, which is enough.”
"Let's evacuate the injured quickly. The plane may not be able to take off if it's late," Li Ze would urge.
There was a medical plane, so what else could he say? Yang Ping immediately told Manager Qiu the good news.
Manager Qiu was in a dilemma about this matter, his cell phone was buzzing. Not to mention the medical plane, an ordinary passenger plane was still hesitating whether to come over.
The rumbling sound of artillery outside the window felt closer and closer, and the flames formed by the artillery fire became more and more intensive. They never stopped, and the horizon was illuminated by artillery fire from time to time.
Aden is an important port and has an oil refinery, so it will definitely be a key target for both sides in the war.
The streets have become a mess, with people dragging their families and luggage with them, crowds of people crowding each other, and car horns blaring one after another.
Expatriates from all over the world gather here. No matter whether there is a ship leaving or not, they are ready to evacuate at any time.
Legend has it that the U.S. military had withdrawn on its own, and then dropped a note: American expatriates found their own transportation to leave Yemen.
Our embassy is working around the clock to collect information about the overseas Chinese, then contact them, find them, transfer them to a safe city, and be ready to evacuate the overseas Chinese at any time.
Even two tourists on a small island have been contacted.
Yang Ping came to Yemen from Saudi Arabia, and the entire route was almost closed-loop. He got off the plane and took a car directly to the hospital, where he stayed the whole time.
Although he did not go to the street to take a look, he could feel the approaching danger from the gunfire outside the window.
People kept crowding into the hospital, and there were even conflicts. Yemeni soldiers began to station in the hospital to maintain order. Once the war approaches, this place will become a field hospital on the front line.
Doctor Zhou and the director of the emergency department are mobilizing ambulances to take Chen Dashun to the airport.
Manager Qiu arranged for Ershun to go to Saudi Arabia with him and take good care of Dashun. Ershun had no problem with visas because the company also has business in Saudi Arabia and many surrounding countries have work visas.
At this time, a Yemeni officer and several soldiers were looking for Manager Qiu in the emergency department.
Under the leadership of the doctor, he found Manager Qiu and immediately said that he was sent by his superiors to protect the Chinese wounded here.
The friendship between China and Yemen is very profound, and China has provided a lot of assistance to Yemen.
In addition to necessary supplies such as food and medicine, they also assisted them in building hospitals, schools, libraries, and bridges, and regularly dispatched doctors for medical assistance. While treating a large number of patients, they also trained more than 3,000 doctors for them.
Therefore, in Yemen, both the government and the people have a very high opinion of China.
They have too much to take care of in the current chaotic situation, but they still allocate manpower to help the Chinese and send armed forces to help transport and protect Chinese expatriates.
Hearing that there was a seriously injured person in this hospital who needed to be transported, they received the order and came immediately.
Manager Qiu chatted with the officer for a while and told the officer that the medical plane was parked at the international airport and the injured needed to be transported now, but there was a traffic jam outside and he hoped the officer could help. The military officers said that the airport was under martial law and a firefight could occur at any time. Now that they could control the situation, they hoped that the wounded could be evacuated quickly. They cleared the way for the military vehicles and escorted them all the way to the airport.
After speaking, the officer shook hands with Yang Ping, showing great respect.
The military officer said that his father was critically ill and his intestines were completely rotten. It was a Chinese doctor who operated on his father and saved his life.
The officer also said that he wanted to entertain his Chinese friends well, but now, he was powerless and could only do what he could.
The situation is so tense now that there is no further delay.
Manager Qiu arranged the ambulance and escort manpower, and carefully planned the flight route of the plane based on the map.
The plane took off from Aden International Airport, diverted directly to the sea, flew along the coast, drew a large arc, arrived in Oman, and then flew to Saudi Arabia via Oman.
This route takes longer, but is much safer and does not require passing through a war zone on land.
Manager Qiu reported the flight route to the embassy, and the embassy needed to coordinate all parties for filing and aviation identification to avoid being accidentally hit.
Soon, the ambulance was in place and parked at the entrance of the emergency department.
Yemeni soldiers lined up on either side to create an aisle in a crowded emergency department.
Dashun was carried out of the ward on a stretcher, and Dodge also participated in the transportation and worked very hard.
Along the way, he followed Robert. When he saw Yang Ping, he didn't have the guts to participate in the exchange and stayed beside him.
Dashun was put into the ambulance. The Yemeni officer jumped into a military vehicle converted from a pickup truck and opened the way in front. There was a machine gun on the roof of the cockpit and several soldiers with live ammunition sitting in the car.
Behind the ambulance was a commercial vehicle, with Manager Qiu, Ershun, Dodge, Li Zehui and A Ming sitting in it.
Behind the commercial vehicle was a military vehicle with a machine gun.
After several sirens, a convoy of four vehicles set off from the hospital and rushed to the international airport.
The chaotic vehicles and people on the street were squeezing each other. If it weren't for military vehicles driving the way and ambulances going to the airport, it wouldn't have been possible within a few hours.
When people saw the military vehicles, they were afraid of the machine guns on them and quickly took shelter. In this way, they forced a way out and the convoy moved forward smoothly.
The ambulance was not big, with Dashun lying on a stretcher in the middle, and Yang Ping, Dr. Zhou, Robert, and Yemeni doctors and nurses sitting on both sides. It seemed very crowded.
The ambulance stopped and trudged forward, its piercing whistle making the eardrums buzz.
Yang Ping truly saw what a great escape was, a scene that could only be seen in movies before.
Fortunately, there is a medical plane. If he is transported by car, he may not be able to get out of Aden in more than ten hours.
Yang Ping looked at the data on the monitor, felt Dashun's pulse, and then listened to his heart and lungs, hoping that he would be transported safely along the way.
Dashun should be lying in the ICU ward at this time, not in the car, but the situation forced him.
This kind of transfer is extremely risky.
"A little feverish!"
After taking the temperature, Dr. Zhou became worried.
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome is fatal to such severe and complex trauma, I hope not.
Although Yang Ping performed a very beautiful operation and the intraoperative flushing was sufficient, after all, the operating room is an ordinary room, not a laminar flow operating room. Bacteria are floating everywhere in the air. Dashun also performed a craniotomy and a thoracotomy. At that time, the whole body was in low perfusion, and the possibility of infection was extremely high.
But the infection does not come so quickly. This increase in body temperature is likely to be caused by absorption of heat or massive blood transfusion.
"Ice your head!"
Yang Ping took decisive measures to reduce the brain's oxygen consumption.
Li Ze would take out an ice pack and put it on Dashun's forehead.
The convoy moved forward at a snail's pace.
