After standing the whole day, Ye Huan and her colleagues squeezed in a meal before heading back to the emergency room to help.
Wearing a mask and a white coat, with the assistance of two nurses, she was cleaning wounds, stopping bleeding, and using tweezers to clear debris from within flesh. It was alright if the patient was unconscious, but for those who were awake and without anesthesia, three or four people had to hold them down for her to properly clean them.
Because antibiotics and anesthetics were always scarce in the hospital, only very seriously injured patients were given these drugs, while others with minor injuries had to grit their teeth and endure the pain.
In such a chaotic and complicated environment, she worked for several more hours until dawn was approaching, her back too strained to stand straight, finally feeling her physical strength had reached its limit.
After handing over to her shift counterpart, she was arranged by the hospital to eat and rest.
