Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 281: The predicament of the medical system

Chen Xin was only worried that the boiler could not meet the heating needs, but in the urban area, this problem has become one of the primary problems faced by various shelters, posing a serious challenge to the survival of the survivors in the shelter.

The boiler inside the shelter is a coal-fired boiler. Compared with oil-fired boilers or other heating methods, this kind of boiler has lower operating cost and mature technology, but it has been gradually eliminated due to environmental protection issues before the disaster, and its thermal efficiency is higher than Not a new gas boiler.

However, coal-fired boilers have become the most suitable heating equipment after a disaster because of their mature technology and relatively simple maintenance, coupled with the ease of storage and transportation of coal.

After all, whether the new boiler uses natural gas or oil, the maintenance cost is higher than that of coal-fired boilers, whether it is before or after the disaster.

It's just that the boilers of each shelter have been turned on to their maximum power. They are eating coal like a monster that devours coal, emitting heat to supply each shelter, but it is still difficult to meet the heating needs of the shelter. The temperature inside had already dropped below zero.

You must know that after the shortage of power supply in the urban area due to the shortage of coal burning last time, the city government has taken into account the issue of whether heating will be affected under the situation of shortage of coal burning, and has carried out cold protection and heat preservation measures in each shelter. strengthen.

Theoretically speaking, even if there is no heating, even if it is minus 40 degrees cold, it can ensure that the indoor temperature is not lower than zero.

But now facing the extreme cold of minus seventy degrees, even if the boiler has been continuously heating, the temperature inside each shelter has been as low as minus zero, and it is still further reduced with the bad weather.

Although the low temperature below zero is temporarily able to resist and persist for the human body, wearing more clothes and doing more activities will not cause people to freeze to death, but the various diseases and frostbite caused by low temperature will give The medical system brings enormous pressure.

Moreover, the human body needs to consume more food in order to maintain body temperature in a low temperature environment, which is also a great test for the food reserves of various refuges.

In this situation, the elderly and children are often the first to hold on.

This has also resulted in the elderly and children in the medical offices of all evacuation centers, and those in serious conditions need to be sent to the hospital.

The surge of patients has also put the supply of medicines into a state of tension. The medical system itself has also entered an overloaded state first, and if the patient surges further, the medical system will face collapse.

In the hospital, even the original psychiatrist like Hong Rui was sent to the emergency department to help at this moment and worked continuously for more than 16 hours.

However, there are still a steady stream of patients sent to the hospital, most of which are complications caused by hypothermia and frostbite in various parts. Although it is not difficult to deal with, there are always patients who have been sent to the hospital. The medical staff in the hospital brought great pressure and left them no time to rest.

The treatment of frostbite is not particularly troublesome. It only needs to remove the patient from the low temperature environment, let the frostbite area warm up, keep it dry, and keep warm. For severe cases, apply frostbite cream for treatment.

But this is a very tedious and troublesome process, because frostbite cannot be baked with fire, and only warm water can be used to warm up the frostbite, and it needs to be soaked in warm water for half an hour to an hour.

In the current low temperature environment, the warm water will cool down quickly, so someone must change the water constantly.

Furthermore, those who were sent to the hospital were suffering from severe frostbite, which required further treatment, which intensified the workload of the doctors.

In order to prevent all doctors from being overworked and no doctors available, the hospital is also making staff adjustments, allowing doctors who have worked more than ten hours to rest first, and at the same time transferring people from other medical departments that are not very busy. Supplement to keep the medical system functioning.

Because Hong Rui has been busy for more than ten hours, he became the first batch of doctors to be replaced.

At this time, Hong Rui already looked very haggard, no longer the one that Chen Xin had seen before and remained exquisite in the last days.

In fact, Hong Rui's appearance is still good, but her face is haggard and the dark circles on her face are a little heavy. Other doctors even have peeling skin because they have been massaging and rubbing the frostbitten part of the frostbite patients with their hands. of.

The doctors who were replaced to rest fell asleep when they sat down on a chair in the lounge. Ten hours of work had already drained their last bit of energy.

Looking at her colleague who was slumped on the chair, Hong Rui couldn't help worrying in her heart. If this continued, what would happen if everyone was tired and paralyzed.

However, she didn't have a good solution to this matter. In addition, after working for more than ten hours, Hong Rui could only go back to her office to take a good rest first, so that she could get enough energy for later shifts. Can last a while longer.

As she walked to the office, the corridors of the hospital were crowded with patients.

Some of these patients have already received treatment or are under treatment, and some are still waiting to receive treatment.

Because of the pain, quite a few of them are moaning in pain, and the crowd and cold make this place look quite uncomfortable, as if it is full of suffering~IndoMTL.com~Welfare] Send you a cash red envelope! Follow the vx public [Book Friends Base Camp] to receive it!

Seeing this situation, Hong Rui's heart is even more worried. Obviously, the patient can't get timely treatment. This is enough to show that the medical system has exceeded its capacity. This will only make things worse.

This made Hong Rui feel more and more heavy~IndoMTL.com~ She walked through the crowd and returned to her office. She didn't even take off her shoes, she lay on the sofa in the office and was ready to sleep, in order to be better in the future. At work, she must hurry up to sleep.

Actually, if Chen Xin knew what was happening in the refuge in the urban area, he might sigh that "The Age of Ice Vapor" honestly did not deceive me.

Although "Age of Ice and Steam" is a serious game, the sentence "Is it really worth it?" is simply shit, and it's a mockery of how order is not as good as faith.

But many settings in the game are very realistic, at least if the temperature of the living environment is too low, which will lead to more patients, patients will leave their jobs, and the efficiency of various facilities will collapse, and the medical system will not have enough beds. The fact that patients go from mild to severe, and that severely ill patients will continue to die after continuing to receive no treatment is really no different from reality.

In the shelters in the city, what is happening right now is such a sight that it even takes a few days to turn things around than in the game, and the problem can be solved by building more medical facilities. Said that it is even more difficult to reverse the situation in reality.

Unless the temperature is allowed to rise again, this situation will only intensify, and even become more terrible because of the tight coal supply.
