Chapter 3, The First Rescue

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the submersible jolted again, and Li Lerui immediately cried out in pain: "I feel like I'm about to die..."

Indeed. Lying on the stretcher, Li Lerui spoke earnestly, "You must give me the opportunity to repay this kindness properly"

"Doctor Gu, this time it is truly all thanks to you." Wu Dong no longer exhibited the previous arrogance and roughness, tightly grasping Gu Jun's hands, his face showing sincerity. "Otherwise, I would have been scared to death over nothing with A Rui. Once we return to Huaxia, let's get together again, it's a promise."

Ordinary task - Task completed

After a considerable amount of time, the submersible finally stabilized significantly. Gu Jun immediately set about treating Li Lerui's right hand injury, carefully rolling up his sleeve first.

After 40 minutes, Gu Jun loosened the tourniquet on Li Lerui. During the procedure, Li Lerui screamed in pain like a slaughtered pig, his face drenched in cold sweat, accompanied by dry heaving. Gu Jun was genuinely worried that he might go into shock from the tourniquet or actually vomit, but fortunately, neither occurred

It is the radius. Gu Jun looked at the wound, but was filled with another sense of astonishment

Who would normally watch something so bloody? It's already impressive that she dares to look at it

Seeing that there was no one around, he took it out to have a look. Upon seeing the printing on the medicine box, he was immediately filled with doubt. This is ... ...

The old captain hurried to retrieve the small medical kit placed beside the control panel

Li Lerui must undergo surgery on his hand as soon as possible, but the medical facilities on the cruise ship are limited, so he needs to be transported directly by helicopter to the nearest hospital in the Maldives for treatment

Li Lerui's complexion improved, and he felt much more comfortable after the wound was stabilized

The wound was torn by the sleeve, and Li Lerui was in so much pain that he was on the verge of tears. When everyone saw the condition of his right forearm, no one blamed him for being weak. What a tragedy! There was a long skin裂口 approximately 10 cm on the outer side of his right forearm, bleeding profusely, with some muscle exposed, and even some white bone faintly visible.

Gu Jun maintained a conversation with Li Lerui to monitor his mental state until the handover to the ship's doctor. The ship's doctor sincerely expressed gratitude, saying: "Mr. Gu, you handled it very well! If this injury had not been promptly treated to stop the bleeding, it is likely that what would have been brought up would have been a corpse

"Mountain chicken, rabbit meat, vegetable python, silver fish ... ... " Li Lerui continued to read aloud with a pained voice

Gu Jun helplessly examined Li Lerui's chest and back, then said: "There are no obvious injuries or bleeding on the torso, and no significant external wounds. Apart from the right hand, the other limbs also show no apparent external injuries. Fortunately, your injuries are not too severe"

Everyone is also scared, was that just a flag? Wu Dong quickly covered his mouth with his furry hands

"Hmm..." Lin Xiaotang expressed her confusion, "Why don't you reattach his arm first?"

Seventeen minutes later, everyone noticed that the light of the surrounding seawater outside the window was becoming brighter and closer to the surface of the sea

Li Lerui watched nervously from the side, "No way." This was something he had almost risked his life for

Gu Junzhen felt somewhat baffled, not knowing where she had offended her

Soon, amidst their tense emotions, a loud crash echoed as the submersible shook and emerged from the surface of the sea

What about the food? Continue reading. He said this while using scissors to cut off the right sleeve of Li Lerui's shirt, targeting the upper third of the right upper arm. First, he wrapped a layer of gauze to protect the skin, and then tightly secured a buckle-type tourniquet to stop the blood circulation in the forearm

Ah! Stir-fried silver noodles, braised eel, it hurts so much..." Li Lerui cried out, "Stir-fried white shrimp, quick-fried green clams, stir-fried noodle fish..."

No," Li Lerui shook his head and sighed, "I suddenly fell and didn't have time to see it, what a pity.

Where is my phone?" Li Lerui immediately looked around as he regained his spirits, "Everyone, please search; I think I might have captured something..."

At this moment, the old captain handed the medical kit to Gu Jun, "Mr. Gu, here you go."

Because this phone stores data directly in its memory and does not have an SD card, I can only wait until I return to see if the phone can be repaired before checking it again

Gu Jun took the medical kit and opened it, looking at the scissors, gauze, and other tools inside, taking a deep breath to keep himself calm. In fact, this was his first time treating someone else. As an eight-year program student in Dongzhou, he was doing his first hospital internship in the second semester of his fourth year, which would last for a year and a half into his fifth year. He was still unsure if he would survive this.

Lin Xiaotang and Wu Dong are also going along; at this moment, on the lower deck of the cruise ship, the three are bidding farewell to Gu Jun

Fortunately, before Wu Dong truly fainted, Gu Jun had already taken care of Li Lerui's right hand. "Every 40 to 60 minutes, loosen the tourniquet for 2 minutes to prevent this hand from suffering from ischemia and necrosis. If you feel any discomfort, speak up immediately."

"Shut up!" Lin Xiaotang exclaimed angrily, "You are already busy making a declaration before even going out!"

"Let me give it a try." Lin Xiaotang, sitting behind Gu Jun, took the phone and tried it, but it also could not be opened

Ah! Wu Dong shouted, laughing and crying, filled with the ecstatic joy of having narrowly escaped death, "We survived! Haha, we all survived!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, yet they were still anxious about not having completely escaped the perilous situation; fortunately, the submersible was no longer rocking.

Gu Jun felt a weight in the pocket of his jacket; upon reaching in, he indeed found a small box added to it

"Just treat me to a meal," Gu Jun said with a smile, "I truly do not mean to take credit; I am merely fulfilling my responsibilities as a medical professional. However, all the delicacies you have studied must be served at the table"

Lin Xiaotang was at a loss for words, her eyes darting around, feeling that she had asked a foolish question, but she thought, "I am not a medical student..."

Of course I checked, otherwise would I touch you? I am also afraid of having nightmares at night

Fortunately, not long after, the submersible safely docked alongside the cruise ship. The rescue personnel, who had already prepared in advance, immediately descended. In the cramped cabin, they first secured Li Lerui onto a stretcher and then carefully lifted him onto the deck of the cruise ship

Li Lerui and Wu Dong both burst into laughter. They exchanged WeChat and phone numbers with Gu Jun, and everyone agreed to stay in touch. If that phone captured anything, they would send it to him at the first opportunity

This is not a small skull fracture or a distal fracture; it is a mid-shaft fracture. Medical knowledge informs him that such a fracture requires a significant amount of force, such as that from a car accident. The jolt just now was surprisingly enough to injure Li Lerui with just a slight support.

The task reward has been issued: 1 box of targeted medication for human brainstem tumors, which can extend the host's lifespan by five days

Wu Dong did not dare to look the entire time, covering his eyes and shrinking to one side. When he saw her looking over, he hurriedly said: "I am fainting at the sight of blood, I am fainting at the sight of blood"

Did you see anything at that time?" Gu Jun asked Li Lerui, while he himself had seen that sharp peak rock...

Gu Jun then used two medicine boxes as splints to stabilize and bandage Li Lerui's forearm injury, possibly due to his calm demeanor, showing no signs of trembling at all

Your proficiency in Tai Ran has increased, and your current level is the first stage (1000 / 5000 proficiency)

Gu Jun noticed that his complexion was becoming increasingly pale and that fresh blood was continuously dripping from the cuff of his right sleeve, so he did not dare to be negligent and insisted, "Continue to tell me about your favorite foods, do not stop." This way, he could continuously assess whether the patient was clear-headed.

The handover was completely finished, and just as everyone was surrounding the stretcher and leaving, Gu Jun suddenly heard a ringing sound in his mind.

Here, Gu Jun found something at his feet. He picked it up and saw that the phone screen was completely shattered, so he turned it off. He pressed the power button, but it would not turn on.

"Take it back?" Gu Jun did not stop his hands, and said seriously, "In the case of an open fracture, one must never simply and roughly push the exposed muscles and bones back in, to avoid secondary damage to the nerves and blood vessels, and also to prevent bacteria from being introduced into the deep wound, which could lead to deep infection. This is basic medical knowledge."

However, Lin Xiaotang stood aside, saying nothing, and resumed her fierce demeanor. It was only when she was about to leave that she cast a meaningful glance at Gu Jun, as if to provoke him

The old captain was busy, sweating profusely beside him; if this young man were to encounter any mishap, he would be in serious trouble

The crowd saw the distant cruise ship from the window, the sky was very clear, the sea surface was very calm, and there was no storm.

Preliminary diagnosis suggests an open fracture of the forearm. Gu Jun frowned and said, "Brother, I need to take care of you first, to stabilize and stop the bleeding. Otherwise, if this continues, I fear you might go into hypovolemic shock."

Alright ... ... " Li Lerui nodded quickly
