THE GREAT DOCTOR

”HELP! HELP! HELP US! ”

There was a loud scream on the hospital terrace. Ardhan who had just arrived at the hospital turned to the source of the voice.

A man groaned in pain while holding his hand, which was numb and almost cut off from being hit by a welding machine while working in a workshop.

Meanwhile, two of his friends tried to ask for help as best they could. They ran into the hospital.

Ardhan actually only intended to get rid of his anxiety after arriving at the hospital dormitory which was only two blocks away from the hospital. He just wanted to find a breath of fresh air rather than continue to be sad thinking about his annulment of his engagement with Tiwi. Because of that, he visited the hospital to adapt even though he was scheduled to start work in two days.

Now Ardhans heart was moved. He felt sorry for the critical condition of the patient. His feet ran automatically following the group of patients into the hospital. He wanted to know how the medics were doing at the new hospital to which he was transferred.

Unfortunately, Ardhans expectations did not match reality. There was not a single medical officer who immediately gave help. Instead of directly giving help, the medical officers consisting of nurses and doctors just stared there. In fact, one of the young doctors there walked backwards away from the patient and fell to the ground like a hysteria.

Argh! Why do they work like this?! Ardhan thought irritated in his heart.

He never liked medical personnel who could not move quickly to help patients. Immediately Ardhan ran towards the patient.

”Excuse me! Excuse me! ” Ardhan split some people in black T-shirts with black and dull skin from working since this morning.

”Who are you? ” asked a young female doctor.

Ardhan turned to the female doctor. He realized that the female doctor was the doctor who had backed away and fell on the ground shaking.

”Quickly prepare the room for the patient! ” Ardhan ordered without further ado.

”Who are you?! Why you just rule over us?! ” replied the female doctor did not accept. ”We will not obey the orders of foreigners who are not surgeons who are worthy of treating patients! ”

Ardhan snorted in disgust. He looked at the female doctors name tag. The doctors name is written. Doctor Lea.

Ardhan reached into the pocket of his cloth pants and showed the nurse his transfer letter. ”Im Ardhan, Doctor Lea. A new doctor from the central BCH who was transferred here, ”explained Ardhan.

Doctor Lea received the letter and opened it. She skimmed. Ardhans words were true. The man was indeed a surgeon from the central BCH who was seconded as a surgeon at the BCH branch hospital in this remote district.

”Quickly! Prepare the room! ”Ardhan said impatiently. ”Others immediately get the wheel bed to carry the patient! ”

”O-okay! ” said the nurse who was around the patient.

Two nurses immediately carried out Ardhans orders. One of them brought a bed on wheels and put the patient there.

Ardhan helped lift the patients body. The patient groaned and the groans were heard again as his body was carried and laid on the bed.

”Wheres the room? ” Ardhan asked the nurse.

”Here, ” Lea guided Ardhan to push the bed to the operating room at the hospital.

Of course the operating room in the hospital was a small operating room. It cannot be compared to the operating room at BCH center which was spacious and fully equipped.

Even so, Ardhan didn care. He immediately washed his hands and put on sterile surgical gloves. After that, Ardhan immediately checked the mans right arm which was almost severed. He squeezed the fingers and palms that were almost severed.

”What do you feel? ” asked Ardhan to the patient.

The patient, whose face was already pale, could only wince in tears and shake his head. ”I don think so, Doc. I can feel anything! ” answered the patient in a trembling voice. ”Will my hands be crippled? ”

Ardhan did not answer. He briefly analyzed the patients condition and checked the pulse section.

Theres no pulse, Ardhan thought with a gasp. The patients condition was very serious. Currently, the patient must be immediately taken care of by an orthopedic doctor who had the right to perform bone inoculation surgery, or reattachment of broken bones.

”Is there a senior orthopedic doctor here? ” Ardhan asked the nurse.

”Nope, ” replied the nurse. ”There are not many doctors here. General practitioner. You are the newest and only surgeon here. ”

Ardhan chuckled. There was no way he would dissect and inoculate this patient with bone. Even though hess a surgeon, hes an internal organ surgeon. He never studied bone surgery at all.

Bone inoculation surgery is a very complex operation. Only a senior orthopedic doctor can do it well and successfully.

”How long has the patient been injured? ” asked Ardhan to make sure.

”Its been an hour, ” replied one of the patients friends.

”Hows it going, Doc? My friends hand can be healed, right? ”

Bone reattachment surgery should be performed a maximum of 6 hours after the bone has been fractured or fractured. If it is past that limit, the operation will not be able to be carried out because the patients hand is definitely rotting. Thus, the patient will be declared disabled for life.

Ardhan took his cell phone. He checked whether there was a hospital that was bigger and had a senior orthopedic doctor near this remote district hospital.

Ardhans eyes widened. His smile broke. He found a hospital with better facilities and medical personnel. Its about two hours from the hospital where he is on duty.

”Doc! What should we do?! Please hurry and treat my friend! ” shouted the patients friend once more. Of course with frustration intonation. ”Doc, help me. I beg you, ” pleaded the patient with heavy tears.

”Bring alcohol, anesthetic, antiseptic, axe, and an ice cube box! ” Ardhan orders the nurse.

The nurse nodded. Even though they didn understand what it was all about, the nurses prepared it. The only thing on the nurses mind was her trust in Ardhan who was the new surgeon from the center. When all the things needed by Ardhan came, Doctor Lea helped. She immediately carried out her duties as assistant to Ardhan in the operating room.

”Anesthesia, ” said Ardhan.

Lea prepared an anesthetic injection. Then, she handed it over to Ardhan.

Ardhan injected anesthetic around the wound so it wouldn hurt too much. After that, he took an antiseptic. He sprayed the antiseptic on the patients wound when Ardhan was sure that the anesthetic had worked.

The patient was still grimacing. However, there was no more screaming at all. This meant that the patients conditions completely under control.

Ardhan wet all parts of the patients wound which was wide open. He made sure the antiseptic flew evenly throughout the wound so that bacteria didn grow and ate away at the patients wound quickly.

”Axe, ” Ardhan asked for an axe.

Doctor Lea was confused. She didn understand what Ardhan meant by asking for an axe.

Impatient, Ardhan took the ax. He grabbed the alcohol bottle and wet the ax with the 70% alcohol. After making sure the ax was wet with alcohol, without hesitation Ardhan swung the ax quickly and firmly into the injured patients hand.

All eyes widened in shock at Ardhans action.

”AAA! ” Lea shouted in shock with Ardhans actions.
