Record of chaos- The Better six
Alternate's rainboom- Serene whisper part 4 what to do in amputation cases (First aid)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter accepting the deal with Serene, blue quartz started her work as serene watched close everything she did, making sure she learned all she could.
First she saw the older woman Pressing the amputated stumps directly with help of clean gauze keeping the extremities raised. As the gauze got stained with blood she just put a new one and kept pressing and once that gauze wa full of blood she put a new one on, this while she kept looking at the bunny in several parts of his body and eyes, looking for what Serene now knows were signs of shock due to blood loss. She also noticed the bunnys head was positioned low compared to the the rest of the body wich was slightly raised with the help of cloth. Blue quartz would explain later to her, that when and if a living being goes into shock due to hemorrhage, the body in response to keep itself alive sends the avilable blood to the imporant organs mainly brain And by rising the body slightly like this the blood flow to the brain is easier decreasing chance for brain damage due to not enough oxigenated blood flowing through the head.
Less than a minute in, she indicated to both fillys to keep the pressure as she as fast as she could while checked the stump were the bunnies paw used to be and quckly made a torniquete on it (fyi if a body part is amputated you need to do a tourniquete to help block the blood flow out AND complement with gauze, however in haemorrhage were the body part is complete save the cuts or laceration mainly gauze and pressure is recommended because unlike with the amputated limp here cutting the blood flow has a big side effect wich is causing the rest of the extremity to expirience hipoxia), then quickly gave the paw situation a once over and sighed in relief "its a Comminuted fracture amputation, and it was only to the perone, not the tibia!. this animal could make it!" so she then took hold of both legs of the bunny indicating it not to move until told, as she lined up its legs, placing a flat, plank-like piece of wood between them, followed by encasing both legs together, with the plank in the middle with the help of a cloth in tight knot, that was however not near the stump so as to not affect the wound.
Then with a comanding voice she stated: "Ok, so i dont have a way to transfuse blood right now!, nor do i have a blood bag compatibile with bunnies,...specially not his blood type, whatever it is!. So if he is lucky and has good coagulation factors along a high amount of platelets, as soon as a decent blood clot is formed on the stumps, mainly the paw wich is the one with relevant amputation, due to the broken bone and blood loss risk then i will do a quick suture to help the process" she then looked at the bunny "you are going to hate me for this" the bunny merely fainted.
As soon as the flow of blood seemed to almost turn into a thin leakage, she did a marvelous work at suture wich left both fillies in awe as after some laborious minutes the stup was sutured, with new gauze that also was tight and placed in a special pattern to give form to the future stomp so a protesis could be made for the bunny. Once done she sighed as sweat fell from her face.
"Ok, so so far we stabilized him, the blood loss is at a minimum and his gauze and sutures are holding well, i will give him some iv serum and nutrients, and with luck if no brain damage was done due to blood loss he will eventually wake up... "fine" altough YOU will have to tend to his stumps almost daily and make sure to act up in any sign of infection!"
The filly was about to thank the mare but also retort because... how could she tend to his injuries if she did not kno-
"Dont worry, i will teach you!, be prepared because you are now on nurse intensive training now!" The older mare stated, like reading her mind
Oh, that is how.
2 days later, the bunny woke up and as soon as that happened, no blood coming from his somewhat closed wound stump, as the necesary precautions were made to monitor for any signs of infection to control them, while also making sure to make a impromptu wheel chair once he was better, though he was constantly getting check ups by Bkue quartz ans Serene who learned by her side.
The weeks passed, wich turned a couple of months as Serene helped get food, water and medicinal plants for all of them as Blue quartz trained her and tended to Angel. Once the bunny was able to trott with his impromptu prosthetic made of wood, and also enough food and medicinal resources was gathered for the journy in the barren lands in between the forest and the capital of lancelot, the 4 of them went further and further off the forest to their destination.
Their trip took 2 weeks, weeks in wich all the food, water and a part of the meds they accumulated in the last couple months was all used.
As the pretty much sterlie land before reaching the "abundant" lancelot was pretry much desolate with little to no water and basically no food, save for insects and other habitants of the pseudo dessert.
------------New equestre, 18 of august, year 3 PDH (Post dragon heroes)------------------------------------------
Finally arriving in Lancelot, they divided in "groups" to optimize time. Stella would try to buy food or trade for it in the nearby bakery with the med goods recently aquired thanks to Serene, while Blue quartz and Serene would look for a place to lay in, hoping a mix of medicinal goods freshly extracted from the forest, some money and the prospect of an ex physician at your service could get them a nice place to stay.
And that was the idea except when Stella landed on the bakery of the capital (since we all know bread is the less expensive filling food since history dawn) she looked at the prices and did a backflip. "10 bits a bucking loaf of bread!!!?? (In equestria for reference 1 bit is equal ro 10 dollars, and fractions of bits are called coins wich are basically the equivalent of a dollar)
After trying ( and failling) to negotiate the 5 bits she had, including the medicinal plants to the deal, the clerk denied the offer and tried to pry her off but Stella in determination left the 5 bits, the medicinal goods and the bread loaf and booked off! Promising in a scream she would bring the other 5 bits later once her mon selled the other goods they collected (except food and water, they had none now) ans that the female clerk could keep the medicinal plants as interest.
The clerk however did not took this kindly, wich while following the filly that ran away, while both got blind sighted for some moments because of a colorful magic beam, causing the whole events related to Stella on The alternate's reality rainboom-part 1- Constellar blizzard.
Once those events passed, Stella's friend Serene was in shock as from her perspective with quartz the beam made all the stands and clothes nearby wave in its glory as its colorful shine, reflected on Angels smiling face and still fresh metal suture points giving a his recovering and tretaed wounds a royal glow akin to an aurera borealis, making her gasp in awe as she cried as if she got a signal or eureka.
This was what she wanted to do her whole life, help others get their health and happiness back! As a stiched rainbow colored butterfly cutie mark appeared on her neck.
Some day later, due to the deal with sol and moon along Blue quartz old credentials, was given a loan free tuition in the royal medical school wich she took in elation.
