Are These What We want?
My last week of training, I worked in the ICU. Only very sick patients who needed to be carefully monitored would be admitted to ICU. Most of them are caused by car accidents or the patient who just took an operation has some complications.
When I was there, coincidently, almost every morning, we would see one or two new patients admitted the previous night because of traffic accidents. Those patients often looked scary with their wounded body. The first morning I went to this new ward, I saw a young man lying on the bed, and his head was swollen. He had a deformed and ashen face. Yes, ashen face, that’s the new term I have just learned. It came into my mind at the time.
His story was he drove a motorcycle bumping on a car. Very soon, his heart stopped running in that morning, and we did CPR on him. When I took the doctor's place to press on his chest with my hands, I could tell there had already had no life signs in him. As the policy in any resuscitation goes, we can only give up in 30 minutes after the Cardiac arrest. Following the declaration of the death to the family, the desperate mother cried in...
On Friday, my last day in ICU, a 54 years old man was newly admitted also the night before. It was said his case was a tricycle crashed him down, and then crossed over the lower part of his body. He was lying in bloody linen, and he has already been in coma with a ventilator helping him breath. We wanted to put him in clean, but the order was we couldn't move his body any a little. He had a severe inner bleeding, and it has caused the over swelling of his two thighs. No access to his lower cavalla vein to block the bleeding, it means no operation that could be done on him at the time. The doctor who was in charge of him told me: now we much left him to his God.
Instantly, we blamed all these to their bad lucks. I knew there was something else wrong, and I supposed everybody else there knew that. However, most time, we just don’t want to be aware of the truth.
When one of my friends, a current traffic policeman, who deals with traffic accidents everyday as he described his job to us, somewhat covered his car number during one trip, he ‘flied’ us back by his car, instead of driving us back. When the evenings fall, people tend to not obey the traffic rules, I guess.
On another aspect, as the living standard has dramatically improved, it has become a fashion to have a driving license, since it means you have a car or you will soon have one. In old stereotype, only the rich can own a car, and it used to be a symbol of status. But I am shocked by the way most people would like to do—go a backdoor to get a driving license as soon as possible.
So, I think we would expect more and more “road killers”. Everyone can easier to learn this. It won’t be surprised to work in hospital to see as many as tragedies caused by traffic accidents.

Very good! I'm impressed.
-I've never ever heard the word "ahsen" before, just be aware that's it's not common
-To "give up" is to admit defeat. I would say "we have to do it for thirty minutes before being allowed to stop trying"
-It's more common to hear it referred to as a heart attack
Any questions then just ask!
