"Hurry, come here!" Just as Liang En was listening to an old man telling the story of hunting seals on the frozen ocean in the patrol office, a big man in a jacket opened the door and rushed in. shouted.

"Can anyone help me? My child was seriously injured and now he has been vomiting blood."

After hearing the cry for help, the boss in front of Liang En immediately stood up with an agility that was inappropriate for his age. Then he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Mir, what happened to your child?"

"When we went fishing before, a rope on the boat was not fixed properly. As a result, the rope came loose when the boat turned, and then it hit him directly on the chest." The middle-aged man named Mir quickly said said.

"He keeps complaining about chest pain and keeps coughing up blood, so I want to borrow the patrol plane to take my child to the city for rescue."

"But the plane can't take off in today's weather." Looking at the howling wind outside, the old patrol member said helplessly, "It's not that we don't want to, it's that we really can't do it."

"Then what should I do?" After hearing what the old patrol member said, Mir squatted on the ground as if he had lost all his strength, then held his head in his hands and sobbed.

"Isn't there a hospital in this town?" Joan of Arc asked with some confusion after seeing this scene. "Why don't you send the wounded to the hospital quickly?"

"Little Mir should already be in the hospital, but the hospital here only has a few volunteer doctors. Common minor illnesses can be treated, but serious illnesses cannot be solved. Injuries like this are completely beyond the scope of treatment."

Speaking of this, the old patrol member shook his head helplessly. The poor infrastructure and shortage of various staff in this indigenous area of ​​Canada have become the norm, so they sometimes have to bear such unnecessary losses. .

The main reason for the current situation is that Canada's policies towards the indigenous people are backward and obviously discriminatory. Not to mention the notorious boarding school, the dilapidation of the port building where Liang En is now is far beyond his expectation.

And from the previous chat, he learned that although there are 400 houses registered in this area, this is actually a conclusion drawn after taking into account abandoned houses, warehouses, storage rooms and even toilets. In fact, even half of them are Less than.

According to one of the yacht staff who came with them, they had been to the Far East of Russia before and thought that the people living there were already bad enough, but they never expected that Canada, whose per capita income is several times that of Russia, would be even worse.

Although in theory these Inuit people can receive a lot of subsidies, in fact the subsidies have been transferred back to Canadians.

For example, few people in the town can receive the 3,000-5,000 Canadian dollars of Aboriginal unemployment and welfare benefits, because Aboriginal fishing and hunting, or even temporary work in the mines, will be defined as work by the welfare officer and will not be paid.

Maybe 3,000 to 5,000 Canadian dollars per month is enough to live in some places, but in this town in the Arctic Circle, the harsh environment greatly increases the cost of survival. Sometimes it is even impossible to survive with this little money. .

At the same time, due to discriminatory policies, fewer and fewer indigenous people maintain their original lives. This is mainly because Canadian officials are wreaking havoc on the environment by mining various minerals locally, while at the same time encouraging environmental groups to criticize the traditional hunting practices of Aboriginal people.

Because of the criticism from environmental groups, the cost of holding guns and hunting has greatly increased for indigenous people. For example, locals may have to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of Canadian dollars for these rights, but white people only need a few hundred dollars.

However, since there are no particularly valuable minerals in Port Yoa, this restriction is not serious. If it is placed in places with gold mines and natural gas in the south, it may cost hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars for these documents.

Even the Canadian media completely ignored the pollution caused by the mining industry and shouted out the whitewashing sentence "Indigenous hunting causes ecological damage worse than mining a hundred gold mines."

But on the other hand, Canada sells hunting licenses to foreign countries with almost unlimited restrictions. Before Liang En and the others came, in order to avoid legal problems caused by killing wild animals in self-defense, they purchased polar bear hunting licenses, which cost ten dollars. More than 10,000 yuan, and there are no restrictions at all.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Canadian officials will naturally not invest too much cost in medical care in this place. There are only two general practitioners and six nurses in all the hospitals in the city, and various medical facilities are imperfect.

"I think our ship should be able to provide emergency treatment." Scood, who got off the ship together, suddenly said to the side, "There is a small operating room on my ship with complete medicines and equipment. At the same time, the doctors on the ship are also good at Dealing with all kinds of trauma.”

"Really?" Mir, who was squatting beside him, suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Scord.

"At least it's better than that so-called hospital here, so if you can trust me, hurry up and carry people to my boat, and be prepared for blood transfusions."

After speaking, Mr. Scord immediately used the intercom to inform the ship of the current situation and asked the ship to prepare. Liang En and Jeanne followed Mir and rushed into the strong wind outside to prepare to carry the wounded.

Soon, Liang En and the others entered the simple hospital and carried a stretcher onto the ship together with a nurse trained in surgical care and several patrol members who had just followed from the patrol team.

As soon as they boarded the ship, they followed the crew's instructions to the conference room and part-time operating room that had been cleaned and disinfected, and then placed the injured on the table.

"Except for the nurse, everyone else is leaving here now." The doctor in surgical clothes looked at everyone on the field and said, "The nurse quickly disinfected and prepared to be my assistant."

While the nurse was preparing, the doctor quickly pulled over the X-ray machine and took a picture, and then said to the nurse who was preparing. "Four ribs were broken, causing one of the broken bones to penetrate into the lungs and induce hemothorax, requiring a thoracotomy."

This whole set of equipment was prepared by Scood for the expedition. After all, as a rich man, he usually cherishes his life, so even the expedition method is different from that of ordinary people.

Although it costs a lot of money to prepare such a well-equipped operating room that can even perform many surgeries and hire corresponding doctors, rich people are willing to pay this fee for their own lives.

It's just that the medical system on the ship was completely ineffective during the previous expedition. Unexpectedly, the first person to enjoy it was a young patrol member from the Arctic region.

Outside the operating room, Mir moved around uneasily. From time to time, he opened the door with his hands stained with the blood his child had just vomited and looked inside anxiously.

"Relax, your son should be able to survive." Liang En and Joanne pushed the cart over at this time, handed the freshly brewed milk tea to everyone waiting here, and then patted Mir's shoulders.

"That's right, my doctor said it was a hemothorax caused by a broken rib inserted into the lung. It's not too difficult to treat. Your child will be fine." Scott also walked over with his own cup. The edge comforted.
