Seeing Asiya's confused look, Sokov guessed that this must be the first time she heard this statement, so he put his arm around her shoulders and walked out, saying: "Asiya
Ya, go back and tell Dr. Pavlov about this, and ask Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army to use the method to relieve the pain of the wounded who are undergoing surgery."
Before Asiya could answer, Sokov heard Golikov ask from behind: "Comrade Asiya, do you have enough medical staff there?"
"Report to Comrade General," Asia stopped, turned to look at Golikov, and replied respectfully: "After the merger of the infantry brigade health team and the Guards Division field hospital, our military doctors and health workers have
There are more than seventy people, and although the manpower is a bit tight, we can still cope with it thanks to the help of the soldiers who stayed behind in the tunnel."
"Thousands of wounded have been added at once. Do you have enough place to place them?" Golikov glanced at Sokov and then continued: "You know, the temperature outside is low. If the wounded are allowed to stay in the ice and snow,
This may endanger their lives."
"Comrade General, please rest assured about this." Asiya smiled and replied politely: "It turns out that after the thousands of commanders and soldiers stationed in the tunnel left, there was enough space to accommodate the wounded."
Golikov nodded and said to Asiya: "Comrade Asiya, please go back and tell the captain of the health team that I will send the medicines you need from the other side as soon as possible."
Just when Asiya saluted and turned around to leave, Golikov unexpectedly asked again: "One more thing, I think it's quite strange, why are you a health team and a division field hospital?"
?”
Asiya thought that Golikov was asking herself, so she turned around and saw that Golikov was staring at Sokov and asking, so she did not speak, but stood quietly aside.
"Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army," Ivanov said proactively before Sokov could speak: "I know the reason for this matter. Please allow me to report to you."
"Please speak, Comrade Colonel."
"It's like this. Our division just completed the replenishment work before re-entering Stalingrad." Ivanov explained to Golikov: "But the superiors only gave us more soldiers and officers, but not more
Military doctors and health workers who were lost in the battle. In name, the field hospital structure is still there, but there are only a dozen military doctors and health workers. Therefore, when it was merged with the infantry brigade, after discussions between the division commander and I, it was changed to a health team.
"
"So that's it." After listening to Ivanov's explanation, Golikov nodded slightly, turned to Sokov and said: "Colonel Sokov, wait until we win this battle and eliminate Paulus's army.
The army under your command, you have to rebuild the division field hospital. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front Army." In fact, even if Golikov does not mention this matter, after the Battle of Stalingrad is over, Sokov plans to ask Chuikov for a group of medical staff to re-establish the division field hospital.
Get up: "As soon as the battle is over, we will restore the field hospital system as soon as possible."
These words spoken by Sokov and Golikov were clearly heard by Asiya who was standing aside. Sokov turned back to Asiya and said: "Asiya, when you go back, you can
Tell this good news to military doctor Pavlov. As for the post of director of the rebuilt division field hospital, I will recommend him to my superiors and hope that he will perform well during this period."
"Don't worry," Asiya smiled sweetly at Sokov: "I will tell Dr. Pavlov the good news."
After Asiya returned to the health team, she grabbed a passing health worker and asked him, "Have you seen where Dr. Pavlov is?"
"Asia, he is operating in the operating room. You can go there to find him."
After Asiya thanked the other party, she walked through the stretchers placed on the ground and arrived at the operating room by familiar routes. When she arrived at the door, she happened to see two stretcher bearers carrying a wounded person coming out.
She quickly stepped aside to let the stretcher pass.
She opened the curtain and walked into the operating room. She saw Pavlov sitting by the wall with a tired face, holding a bottle of glucose water in his hand, taking a sip from time to time. Seeing Asiya coming in from outside, she
He raised his eyes and asked: "Asia, how are you? When can the teacher replenish the medicines we need?"
"Comrade Medical Doctor," Asiya came to Pavlov's side and knelt down, and said to him happily: "When I just went to the division headquarters, the deputy commander of the front army, General Golikov, was also there. He learned that
After we were short of medicines, we said we would contact the front army headquarters on the left bank and send us a batch as soon as possible."
Hearing what Asiya said, Pavlov smiled bitterly and said: "Asiya, there are at least one or two hundred wounded people waiting for surgery outside. If there is no other medicine, it can be delayed temporarily. But if there is no anesthetic,
, I am afraid that many injured patients will be unable to bear the pain during surgery."
"I know," Asiya added: "I saw with my own eyes that several injured people fainted from the pain during the operation."
Pavlov raised his head and took a sip of water, and said with a wry smile: "While you were going to the division headquarters, a wounded man died of pain during the operation because there was no anesthesia. If there is no anesthesia, I will
I think some injured people will die during the operation."
When Asiya heard what Pavlov said, she immediately remembered the folk remedy Golikov said, and asked tentatively: "Comrade military doctor, I want to ask you, if you use coffee to fill the intestines of the wounded, will it be effective?"
Analgesic effect?”
Pavlov's eyes widened in surprise. He grabbed Asiya's arm and asked excitedly: "Asiya, how do you know this method can relieve pain?"
"I heard what General Golikov said." Asia carefully freed her arm from Pavlov's hand and explained: "He said that during World War I, the German army lacked anesthetics and their
Military doctors use this method to give pain relief to the wounded and then perform surgery."
"General Golikov is right, this method can indeed relieve pain." Pavlov nodded and said: "However, if it is not done properly, it may cause intestinal perforation of the wounded, which can endanger his life."
When Asiya confirmed that coffee infusion can indeed relieve pain in the intestines, she felt secretly happy. She didn't expect that the method General Golikov said was really effective. But after hearing what Pavlov said next, her heart pounded again.
The ground sank. In order to relieve pain, she endangered the life of the wounded, which made her hesitate: "Comrade military doctor, can we use this method to relieve pain for the wounded?"
"In the absence of anesthesia, we can only try this method. As for whether it will endanger life, we will not consider these issues for the time being. We will save people first and then treat the disease. As long as we can save people, we will have many solutions in the future.
Let him recover." Pavlov said, and took another big sip of water: "Asia, I will take a rest, and then get up and continue the operation."
"By the way, comrade military doctor, I have another good news for you."
"What news?" Pavlov asked weakly.
"After this battle is over, the division will restore the organization of the division field hospital." Asiya smiled and said to Pavlov: "Misha said that he plans to make you the first director after the reconstruction.
"
After saying this, Pavlov, who was sitting next to him, was still drinking glucose water listlessly, as if he hadn't listened carefully. Asiya felt a little bored and was about to get up and continue working. Who would have thought that she just stood up,
With a "pop" sound, the glucose water bottle in Pavlov's hand fell to the ground. He stood up suddenly and pointed at Asiya. His fingers kept trembling, and his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say a word.
"Asia!" Fortunately, a female hygienist in the operation asked Pavlov what was in his heart: "Are everything you said true?"
"Of course it's true." Asiya nodded to the female hygienist and said firmly: "I don't think Misha would joke with me about this kind of thing, right? By the way, he also asked me to come back to tell the good news.
, tell military doctor Pavlov personally."
After receiving confirmation from Asya, Pavlov, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic as if he had been given a shot of blood. He asked the female health worker who spoke: "How long have I rested?
"
The female hygienist quickly glanced at an alarm clock on the table not far away and replied: "Comrade military doctor, you rested for three minutes. You have performed more than a dozen operations in a row, and you need to rest for at least a quarter of an hour before you can barely do it."
Physical recovery."
"No need, I think I can still hold on." Pavlov, who looked energetic, waved his hand at the other party and said in a commanding tone: "Let the stretcher bearers outside bring in new wounded people. We can't let the wounded wait too long.
I will try my best to complete all the operations before dawn tomorrow."
Although Asiya knew that there was more than one place for surgery, there were too many wounded people outside. Even if the military doctors helped the military doctors work overtime, they could not finish the work in just one hour. She quickly asked Pavlov for help:
"Comrade military doctor, I have nothing to do now. Please allow me to also perform operations on the wounded."
"This is great, Comrade Asiya." Seeing that Asiya was willing to help, Pavlov was very pleased. He pointed to the side with his hand and said, "The operating room next door is still empty. You can find two
An assistant, let’s carry out the operation there.”
The new wounded man was quickly brought in, and the female health worker asked Pavlov: "Comrade military doctor, this wounded man is seriously injured. If there is no anesthesia, I am worried that he will not be able to get off the operating table."
Pavlov thought for a moment and then said to the female health worker: "You should have heard what Asiya just said, right? Just use coffee and intestinal irritation to relieve pain for the wounded." As he said that, he raised his hand to the station.
The stretcher bearer next to him pointed, "You two help turn the wounded man over so that the health worker can pour him coffee."
When the stretcher bearers heard Pavlov's somewhat incomprehensible order, their faces showed a blank expression, but they still followed the other party's order to the letter and carefully turned the wounded over.
…………
In order to ensure that the medicines from the other side can be delivered as soon as possible, Golikov personally called Yeremenko and told him that Sokov urgently needed medicines to treat the wounded. As soon as Yeremenko put down the phone, he ordered the logistics minister
, a truckload of medicines was withdrawn from the warehouse and immediately sent to Mamaev Gang.
Sokov originally thought that even if Golikov took action personally, he would have to wait a day or two to receive the replenished medicines from his superiors. Unexpectedly, less than two hours after the call was made, the observation post outside
He reported that he had spotted a truck coming from the other side, heading towards Mamayev Hill.
Sokov guessed that medicine might have arrived, but to be on the safe side, he still ordered the observation post: "Send two people over to greet them, find out what is in the car, and report to me in time."
"Comrade Commander," Sidorin took the initiative to say to Sokov when he waited for him to put down the phone: "I think the medicine has been delivered. Can you ask Major Tenev to wait outside with someone? If it is medicine, we can send it as soon as possible."
Send it to the health team."
"Okay." Considering that if the health team cannot obtain medicines in time, many wounded people may die, Sokov agreed to Sidorin's proposal: "Let Major Tenev lead a company to wait outside for transportation.
As soon as the medicine truck arrives, it will be sent to the health team immediately."
"Comrade Commander," Sokov had just arranged for Tenev to take the security company out to receive medicines. Political Commissar Anisimov hurried in from outside and said excitedly: "I just came back from the health team.
What do you think I saw?"
Sokov didn't know what he saw, so he casually asked: "What did you see?"
"I just went to see military doctor Pavlov for an operation," Anisimov said hurriedly: "I heard from the hygienist that he has performed more than thirty operations today. Usually, military doctors perform such operations in succession.
After many operations, I was already too tired to move. But I saw Military Doctor Pavlov, like a tireless machine, he kept operating on the wounded one after another. Even the health worker asked him to take a rest.
, he refused."
After listening to Anisimov's words, Golikov chuckled and said to Sokov: "Colonel Sokov, I really didn't expect that the good news you asked Comrade Asiya to bring back can actually make you
It’s really not easy for the military doctors to work so hard.”
Sokov guessed that it must be his suggestion to let Pavlov serve as the director of the field hospital, which made the other party as excited as a chicken blood. However, out of love for him, Sokov felt that some things should be stopped in moderation.
After all, people are not machines. If Pavlov is really exhausted, it is estimated that the medical level of the health team will drop a long way. So he said to Anisimov: "Comrade Political Commissar, please go to the hospital again."
Go to the health team and tell Dr. Pavlov not to work too hard. If he collapses from exhaustion, no one will be able to operate on the wounded."
"You are right, Comrade Division Commander. Military Doctor Pavlov is indeed working too hard. This is not good, and he will get sick from exhaustion." Anisimov said cheerfully: "I will convey your words to him right away.
