"Team!MEDEVAC heli coming, one person bitten! Already in the tourniquet, prepare the procedure!" Noah who was holding the radio team got news from the operations headquarters.
We waited near the landing strip, while the other nurse headed straight to the operating room to prepare the equipment.
"He's bitten! We've done a tourniquet as soon as possible!" Some soldiers carry
a partner. A soldier came in with a tourniquet bond on his lower left arm.
"Nurse, do whatever I don't want to be infected." He immediately arrived at us. The bite was deep tearing through his main artery. His blood must have been spilling. His clothes were wet with blood. We asked him to lie down on the bed.
"Relax... You're gonna be okay." I received a chart of patient records from MEDEVAC paramedics containing heart rate records, SpO2ยน, Blood Glucose Levels, Temperature and treatment they had given.
We laid him on a walking bed. And started pushing him into the operating room. They already know this risk if you get bitten by the tourniquet's only procedure as soon as possible.
"You have Bobby's allergy." I quickly read his name from the shirt he was wearing.
"No..." She looked at me while I started to edit her clothes. Another set up a heart rate monitor, and his blood pressure. The anesthetic nurse began to put on the anesthetic mask.
Noah and another civilian doctor came later after he completed preparations for hand-cleaning, wearing a mask and headgear and surgical gown.
"We're going to do an amputation to save you, young man..." Noah will perform the operation.
He looks young. It may be 21 or 22 years old.
"I know doc, whatever I'm from not being infected..." She cried. This young man had already lost one of his limbs. I feel sorry for him too.
"We're starting..." The anesthetic propofol began to be injected by and then febtanyl, midqzolam. And an anesthetic mask that drains the sevoflurane to maintain the anesthetic effect during surgery.
The hand that was bitten was still retained tourniquetnya.
Noah began to examine the affected body tissues. And we all saw that the damaged tissue that was bitten was so deep that it could tear an artery.
"The digits are very deep...These infected really consider us food." We all shuddered in horror at the torn artery. Imagine if he reached the great artery of your neck. It would be a very painful and quick death.
"Prepare the saw..."
After checking the area to be cleaned. Noah began to outline and insert the Gigli Saw, it was a sharp wire used to cut the bone by being pulled back and forth. His voice was quite terrible believe ordinary people would have nightmares when they saw the doctor pull the rope back and forth.
After cutting the doctor will clean all the tissue. Closing all blood and nerve tissue and covering the skin.
Finally the first operation was completed. I'm breathing a sigh of relief now.
"He should still be supervised if he has symptoms . We don't know if the tourniquet is fast enough. Put him in a special isolation room ." We pushed him into the prepared isolation room. The room has its guard . Especially for patients like this.
Seeing them running after you yesterday has loaded us quite trembling. Now we see for ourselves his bite.
"I don't want to deal with that thing . Really don't want to ...." Susan on the team with me is twisting her own shoulders now.
"I don't want to either ..."

But it seems that prayer was not answered.
Our pagers rang again at recess. We were asked to gather again at the training ground. Are there any more weapons training, haven't we been declared a pass before ?
"What's on your mind." James now ruffled his waist at the infected and we simultaneously retreated backwards.
"We'll teach you how to avoid these infected bites. Notice this because it will save your souls . You only need one sharp object !" Andrew said firmly to us .
"He is fast enough and has the determination to make you his food. But if his brain or heart is damaged he will stop. From now on you must carry this knife wherever you are even while you sleep!"
And then he explained the anatomy we had to attack and how to effectively penetrate body parts. Well it was easy for him, because he was trained.
But then he explained first how to effectively avoid the bite by holding the neck can even be done with one hand and tilting the tatget to the side and turning thrusting the knife into the softest part that can be achieved. The eye! and the back head that automatically severs the nerves .
"You should practice this movement from tonight... But notice how I deal with this infected with the technique!"
Infected it was removed and ran towards Andrew he looked casually facing and with admirable speed he could hold the neck , turning thrusting the knife into the back of his head. The infected who had been moving wildly fell silent.
"You're going to practice this movement from tonight...We can't always protect you ! Either you die or he dies! Move to the gym!" And start our fight now.
Thank goodness someone taught us how to survive. I don't want to be made into food and feel the blood flowing out of my arteries.
Twenty people practice in pairs. Each tried to practice correctly. Seven special forces members exemplified how to do the step and we tried to imitate it properly.
"You are required to do weight training and fight from tonight!" The training will continue tomorrow. "Gather here starting tomorrow at the same time. Dismiss!"
Susan was seen flirting to DeAngelo yesterday we just talked and now they can already flirting. My God's!
"You're so fast....I immediately nudged my friend ."
"My company ...."
"What accompany how ...." I haven't protested yet she's already pulled my hand towards them. What did Susan do!
"Hi ... " I immediately retreated back to see Susan approaching De Angelo and Andrew speaking.
"Hi girls, what can we help." De Angelo immediately smiled widely.
"How about a private practice session..." I looked up at Susan's courage.
"Ohhh no!I'm not involved..." I immediately retreated and shook my head.
"You're very frank to ask Miss for help.... Let's go there..." De Angelo gave his arm to hold and I turned to look at Susan who greeted his arm.
And turned to look at Andrew who was just smiling widely.
"I'm really not involved in this madness..." She laughed now, I had to remind my heart to beat looking at her laughter. Why should I get involved here.
"I know .. We just let them have fun. I'll let you go of course."
"Then goodbye, thank you for the practice." I immediately took a quick step leaving the place.
Susan is crazy!
