The allergy test was to test if the patient had any allergic reactions. If they had any, the patient could not be anesthetized. Otherwise, a small amount of anesthesia could cause the patient to die.

After Zhang Ling finished testing the patient's sensitivity, he observed for a while and said,"No signs of allergy."

"Alright, I'll do it. Lidocain, 15 milliliters, using a nerve block on the arm.”

Arm nerve block was to inject a local anesthetic around the arm's nerve trunk, nerve plexuses, and joints to block the transmission of its impulses, so that the area under its control would produce anesthesia.

This type of local anesthesia was simple to operate, had a definite effect, and had few complications. It was relatively safe to use and was the preferred anesthesia method for upper limb and shoulder surgeries.

"Why didn't you apply the local anesthetic around the wound?" Lu Chenxi asked.”

Luo Kai glanced at her and said," The wound is too big. Do you know how much anesthesia it will take to hit the area around the wound?" Since the nerves in his wounds were blocked, he had to increase the dosage! This was the safest and most efficient method of local anesthesia. Look outside, how many people are still waiting for stitches?”

"You're right." Lu Chenxi nodded slightly.”

Luo Kai washed his hands with normal saline and then said to Zhang Ling,"Catgut."

Threading a needle, crochet.

He held the tooth forceps in his left hand and the needle forceps in his right hand.

He used a pair of forceps to gently lift one side of the skin and inserted the needle vertically with the needle holder in his right hand.

The needle was placed 0.5 cm away from the wound, and then the same distance was placed vertically on the other side of the skin.

He gently retracted the thread, his hands very evenly.

Then, he tied a knot and cut the string.

"Simple interrupted suture?" Lu Chenxi was slightly stunned.

Luo Kai didn't answer. He immediately inserted the needles vertically on both sides of the wound, forming a cross.

"Cross suture technique?"

This kind of suturing method was suitable for wounds with high skin tension. It could effectively stop bleeding and prevent the wound from rupturing.

After Luo Kai finished suturing, he put the needle and thread into the disinfectant and said to the patient,"The wound has been treated. If you can walk, go to the hospital for a full checkup. If you can't walk, you can only wait for the medical staff to come and treat it.”

"I can walk by myself," said the injured man.”

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation."

Luo Kai stood up and walked to the back with the first aid kit, ignoring Lu Chenxi.

"Hey! I'm a doctor too. Your suturing method was too casual, wasn't it?”

Luo Kai turned to her and said,"What questions do you have?"”

"Why did you use two suturing methods? That wouldn't save time, but it would also be a waste of time.”

"The wound tension is too high, so use the cross suture technique to prevent it from rupturing," said Luo Kai. I only used simple interrupted sutures to prevent the risk of his wound rupturing.”

Lu Chenxi was stunned. Although there was no problem with this train of thought, it was too much of a waste of time.

There were still many injured people waiting to be rescued.

"Doctor Luo, you only used less than five minutes!" Zhang Ling said. He's too powerful."

Five minutes?

Lu Chenxi was stunned. She looked at Luo Kai in confusion.

……

"Doctor, doctor, please save him! Save him!"

Luo Kai stopped and saw a person lying on the green lawn above the curb. A woman was kneeling in front of him, crying with tears streaming down her face.

Luo Kai and Zhang Ling quickly walked over.

He half-knelt on the ground and reached for the patient's neck with one hand.

"There's still a heartbeat."

"Doctor, please save him, please save him!”

"I'll save him, but don't make any noise," said Luo Kai. I need an auscultation!"

"Alright, alright."

" The patient's meniscus is injured. There's no obvious trauma to the abdominal cavity…"

The menisci were two crescent-shaped cartilages located on the inner and outer joint surfaces of the shin bone. It was the knee joint. Usually, the knee would make a cracking sound because of the damage to the meniscus.

"Why is there so much blood?" Zhang Ling looked at the blood on the lawn and asked.

"Turn him over, gently. Don't cause a second injury."

"Yes."

Luo Kai and Zhang Ling worked together to turn the patient over. They saw an obvious wound on the patient's back. It was about 15cm long, and the vertebrae could be seen...

"Vertebral compression fracture…! Contact the ambulance immediately. This is a seriously injured patient and needs to be treated first!”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Ling got up and took out his phone to contact the paramedics.

"Doctor, how is the doctor?"

Luo Kai shook his head." There's no danger to your life. Wait here for the medical staff."”

He Jian Yi's voice came from behind them.

"How is it?"

Luo Kai turned around and reported," Vertebral compression fracture. There is an obvious open wound, about 15cm long. Vertebral and meniscus injuries can be seen."”

"Send her to the hospital immediately!"

"I've already contacted him." Zhang Ling said.

"Very good." He Jian nodded.”

This kind of spinal compression fracture could not be easily handled on the spot because there were many nerves connected to the vertebrae. If it was not handled properly or examined incorrectly, the injured person would lie in bed for the rest of his life, and his lower limbs would be paralyzed.

"Director He, Director He, come here quickly! There's a patient with abdominal bleeding here. It can't be stopped…"

The sea was more than forty meters away from them, jumping and shouting.
