"First mate, the mechanic who just came in has a stomach ache and is rolling on the bed, go down and take a look." The machine head jogged all the way into the first mate's room, breathing heavily to report this news to the first mate, an anxious look written all over his vicissitudes of face. "Go, go take a look." Picking up the medical kit, the first mate and the nose ran to the cabin where the mechanics lived.
Sailor Rollo, a boatman who has been working on the water for more than ten years, let's talk about the things that happen when a crew member gets sick on a voyage.
First, there is a disease to see the doctor, no disease do not moanSick, with the diagnosis, how simple things. The sea voyage crew encountered sick, especially some emergency conditions, that is a matter of life and death. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to get a good deal on my own, and that I was able to get a good deal on my own. One minute, a young man is alive and kicking, but the next minute, something abnormal may happen and scare people half to death. In addition to their own tired, medical care is not easy. This is not the case, the ship has just come on board a short period of time mechanic "to the problem".
Push open the heavy cabin door, the bedside of the two pots, do not have to look at know that the inside is not a good thing. The acidic odor emanating from the house came to the forefront, and it was too late to put down the medical box of the first mate (the ship's health officer) began to simply look, smell, ask, cut "diagnosis". Under the lights, the mechanic was full of sadness, hands holding his stomach, with the ship's rocking in the bed straight roll.
The head of the ship rushed to stretch out his hands to stabilize, the first mate uncovered the clothes on his stomach and put the stethoscope on it, only to see the stomach slightly trembled a little, it should be stimulated by the cold muscle contraction normally. The first mate held his breath and listened carefully to the sound coming from the earpiece while watching his reaction. Immediately following the first mate placed his hand on the other's stomach and pressed, the mechanic also followed with varying degrees of wailing. At this point the mechanic was like an electronic button, constantly feeding back information from his belly for the first mate to diagnose. The problem lies in the stomach and intestines, the symptoms are already obvious, the next step is to narrow down the scope to find the specific problem. It was too late to wipe off a sweat, and the first mate began to gently tap another side of the location.
"Gastrointestinal problem, it's time to take some medication and see what happens." Recording the initial diagnosis, the first mate reported the diagnosis to the captain who arrived, and explained that the head of the machine went to the medicine room together to get the medicine, and then let the mechanic take it to observe. I don't know whether it was a psychological effect or the situation had improved, the mechanic lying on the bed slowly stopped moaning, only the hands holding his stomach had not been loosened yet. The captain nodded, and the first mate and the head mechanic walked out of the cabin together. The initial consultation was declared over.
"First Mate, it's no good, the mechanic just threw up the medicine he took."
Shortly after sitting down, the nose's call came to the first officer's room. Once again picking up the medical kit the first mate jogged all the way down the stairs, at which point his brow not only furrowed.
Once again, blood pressure, gently press each place, listen to the stomach part of the situation, and one by one to write down a variety of measurement data. After some diagnosis busy, the first mate solemnly spat out two words - feed again . The second cook brought a cup of salt water under the first mate's instruction for the mechanic to rinse his mouth first, and then poured a cup of warm water for him to take the dispensed medicine again. At this time, although the machinist's head had a questioning face, there was nothing else he could do. Just keep staring at the mechanic's mouth for a moment, fearing that it will spit it out again.
The ship slowly stopped rocking and the mechanic gradually fell asleep. The first mate watched for a moment, shook his hand at the nose of the engine holding up what looked like a calling gesture, pointed to the man in the bed and left.
The ship, continue to sail in the depths of the sea; people, confused still sleeping. The nose of the machine aside looked at the mechanic who was no longer rolling, and slowly put his heart down. It seems that the first mate's diagnosis is right, this mechanic just came to certainly a little seasick, plus eat some cold food, gastrointestinal discomfort immediately began to make trouble, the medicine served down the symptoms at this time to reduce. Fortunately, it is not serious. The first deputy diagnosis is valid, the ship continues to sail.
Second, those years, in order to navigate the cut "meat"Crew at sea sick, especially emergency, usually make what kind of measures?
1. Based on the conditions of self-help
The first mate is the ship's medical staff, some simple diseases can take a look at, prescribe some medication, encountered serious illnesses on the helpless. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on a new product or service, and you'll be able to get a good deal on a new product or service.
2. Shore-based support
One scenario is remote diagnostic support, which is guided remotely by shore-based specialists, and operated by the ship's medical staff (first officer). The ship will send the crew diagnosis information to the shore, the expert personnel to confirm the diagnosis and then determine the use of drugs, the ship to implement the specific. Such a situation requires communication support, and it is better to be able to transmit video signals to allow the team of experts to diagnose the sick person more visually. Another scenario is that helicopters or coastal boats are dispatched to pick up people and transfer them to land hospitals. Helicopters are generally too far from the land, and rescue boats can not be rushed to the location of the boat for a while when used.
Once I heard a friend share a helicopter rescue story.
At that time, they sailed in the middle of the Yellow Sea, a crew member on board the hand was pressed by the machine, and was injured to the aorta, the blood ah sprayed all over the ground, the captain was scared, or the first mate busy to remind the captain to quickly report to the company to contact the helicopter, and then a little late to not rescue the people to be "lost". Because the ship does not have better communication facilities, or other passing ships to help contact the company. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it.
At the time, the crew member who forwarded the message was furious, and scolded the personnel manager. The rest of the ship's buddies heard is also angry, we have asked which shipping company is so inhumane, suggesting that we pull the black such a "black hearted enterprise". The helicopter finally came out, the injured crew sent to the hospital to get medical treatment, but such a cold-blooded company in the end to get a mess.
3. Autonomous transportation
This category is mainly for ships sailing near shore. As a result of not being subject to the restrictions of communication, berthing terminal, the emergence of abnormalities can be close to contact the land-based hospitals, the ship only need to send the injured to the nearest dock can be ambulance admissions, rapid entry into the hospital, to provide the conditions for medical treatment.
4. Other
People eat grains, will be sick.
The crew is always at sea, facing the harsh sea conditions, the chances of getting sick naturally not low. The boat has its own set of rescue process, suffering from the limitations of the conditions too much is not enough. In the face of a variety of complex illnesses, it is often necessary to turn to shore-based support.
When I was a kid, I heard a rumor: Ocean-going crews, for safety reasons, cut off their appendixes before getting on board, no matter how good or bad they are. At that time, I was still small, listening to the creepy, questionable is a good body you cut off a cut is what is the matter ah? Until a few years ago a chance, for this disease only have intuitive knowledge. The old man of the family was hospitalized for stomach pain, high fever, injections, fluids to engage in a night without stopping, until the next morning took a film to diagnose the appendix, so immediately arranged for surgery, not a moment to do the operation.
Parents sick children anxious, when the old man returned to the ward after surgery, we mention in the throat of the heart to let go. Preoperative in the process of communication with the doctor, I just learned that now the medical technology has improved, improved treatment programs coupled with the input of new equipment, for the patient has to reduce a lot of pain, from the point of view of the trauma is to become a triangular shape of the three small holes. Even though they are small holes, they still give you heart palpitations when you think about them. I was wondering, is not just an appendix, how to get a night to confirm the diagnosis. I was not only able to pass by the doctor's office, I not only to sit inside the doctor threw a long a hold.
Childhood hearing to the present, that really is a blackmail, and is the blackmail of the type. Now he also embarked on the sea road, around also encountered a similar scenario, but these are not as exaggerated as everyone imagined. Whether it is the ship's emergency mechanism or shore-based security, with the development of the ship has slowly been enhanced. In the face of the crew life and death hangs in the balance, the company considers the first factor is to spend high or low after all is still a minority. The introduction of commercial insurance, a certain level is to alleviate the burden of shipowners, crew sickness is also covered. This is a good thing.
Seafarers, a group of mortals living on the sea. For the attack of disease, like typhoons and waves, seafarers can not be defended. Although there is no chapter to find, but in advance to do some countermeasures is very necessary. Just like the weather station, it can tell us in advance to return to the harbor or choose a safe anchorage to avoid the wind; in the face of illness, in addition to strengthening the exercise against, daily planning a health insurance is also a good choice.
A group of people on board the ship for the captain of the thundering fitness full of doubts, a sailor's answer to let a person endure more than handsome: " boss spend a lot of money to invite him to come to his day "nothing to do" not exercise exercise what else can do? What's more, a good body can get more money ah!" At this time, is not far from the foot bridge walking captain as if hearing this explanation, smiled.
I am a sailor Luo Luo, sharing more interesting stories in the industry; spreading positive energy in the industry, I am in action.
The sea crew health abnormal life hanging by a thread, how to save themselves?
The ship drifting in the endless ocean, once the pirates and crew have a disease, a moment will make the captain and crew helpless, desperate. Because the ship is too far from the coast, the cell phone signal is weak, or even no signal at all, that is really called the day, shouting, the only way to rely on their own to find ways to save themselves.
One of my comrades in arms is a seafarer, who earns a considerable amount of money every month, and is subsidized by the sea. According to him, once a seafarer is sick on board, there is a medical room on board, but there is no professional medical personnel, the captain and the first mate know a little bit of medical knowledge, if the crew is not a big disease, headache and fever of the cold, to the first mate or the captain to say, to take some medicine can be relieved.
If a crew member has an acute illness and must be hospitalized, the captain will find a nearby country coast to coast for help. If you are too far from the coast, you have to wait for the battleships in the convoy to come to the rescue. My comrade in arms, he has encountered such a thing, last year at sea, the ship sailing to the depths of the ocean, he suffered from acute appendicitis, stomach pain unbearable, happened to be our naval convoy passing by, with the semaphore emergency, the Navy shipboard helicopters to send him into the nearby country's hospitals, so that he got a new lease on life.
Comprehensive the above seafarers usually try to maintain a good body in order to go to sea, pay attention to keep fit on the ship less sick or not sick, once sick, that is really helpless.
In the 1980s, a foreign cargo ship, sailing, the captain of the ship due to violent death (estimated to be heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage sudden death in the middle of the night), by the first deputy acting captain. I went on board for quarantine, took samples and excluded infectious diseases. Finally, the ship's agent handled the aftermath. Now, if the ship is sailing, the crew's health of acute illness and life-threatening, you can through the ship's head office to contact the ship through the country, requesting the country to send speedboats or helicopters, the patient to the other country to rescue. Every country has a sea (water) rescue organization. Our country has a sea search and rescue center, mainly responsible for sea (water) on the early warning and prevention of emergencies, rescue, environmental rescue and property rescue, important navigable waters clearing as well as piracy event information reception and processing.
Ships traveling in the depths of the ocean, especially the international crew, sometimes the ship leaves the port takes ten days or even a month to reach another port, which in the middle of the crew suddenly appeared to be an emergency how to do? As a seafarer, to give you a popularization of the real situation on the ship.
Real case one:
The first ship I worked on ran the China-Australia route, that is, our country to Australia, a single voyage takes about 15 days. Once the ship anchored in Australia and waited to enter the harbor, but there was an accident in the process of anchoring. According to the normal operation procedure, the chief seaman should take one sailor and the first mate to the bow for anchoring! On that day, it happened that the chief sailor had diarrhea, so the first mate let two sailors go to the bow of the anchor, due to improper operation, the chain stopper popped open, a sailor knocked down, and an arm was broken on the spot, the ship's second mate at the first time on the simple bandage, and so the ship is close to the port of Australia, so that he was sent to return to the country from Australia by plane treatment.
Real case two:
My third ship runs a global irregular route, that is, every country in the world may go, but the danger and risk have increased. At that time we loaded 200,000 tons of soybeans from Brazil to be shipped to South Korea. Ten days after the ship sailed out from Brazil, the third mate felt a stomach ache, and later, after the second mate's initial observation, it should be appendicitis, and at that time, he was just fed a little painkiller. However, after some time, it was found that the matter might be very serious and it should be acute appendicitis, because the third mate could not sit up at all when he was in pain, and his face was covered with sweat from the pain. And the ship did not have the conditions for surgery, and no one dared to operate for him, can only use painkillers to maintain, while through the satellite phone to report to the company. The damn intermediary company, the reply just let the patient as far as possible to endure a few more days, and wait for a suitable port nearby, send a small boat to the patient next. That's how the ship could only use painkillers to help him hold on, and on the third day of his illness, he lost his vitals directly due to the lack of timely treatment.
First of all, there are simple medical conditions on board the ship, and there will be a certain amount of medicine stored in advance, but this is only able to treat colds, fever, diarrhea and these simple minor illnesses. The second mate on the ship is a doctor. According to the relevant regulations, the second mate must be able to perform simple surgeries in order to hold this position. But in order to cope with the work, few second mates in reality dare to perform surgery on patients. For crew members, the most terrible thing is acute appendicitis. That's why some crew members, even if they are in good health, have their appendixes cut out before they go on board.
Secondly, when a crew member has a sudden physical emergency on board, the first step is for the crew on board to help themselves, using simple medical measures to rescue themselves. If the situation is serious, the captain will report it to the company and listen to its instructions. There are certain rules for the company to deal with this kind of thing. If the ship is relatively close to the harbor, a small boat will be sent to treat the patient next. If the ship is traveling in the middle of the ocean and is close to the coastline of a certain country, a helicopter will be sent to bring the patient down for treatment. If the ship is traveling in the depths of the ocean, it is left to fate!
Finally, to tell you a particularly real status quo, in fact, before each crew member comes on board, the shipping company will buy insurance for them. In the opinion of these shipping companies, if a seafarer has an emergency and the cost of sending a helicopter is relatively high, then the company will secretly tell the captain to give up the treatment of the patient. The insurance company will be responsible for the final compensation. It is that cruel. Nowadays, many companies don't like to recruit seafarers who are older, just because the older they are, the worse their health is, and the greater the chance of getting sick on board. So if you are interested, you can know that now our crew members are basically middle-aged people between 20 and 40 years old. The body is in its prime, the chances of acute illness is relatively small.
First: the crew's own physical quality. As mentioned earlier, if you run a global route, it so happens that the ship in the depths of the ocean you have an emergency, and your emergency ship does not have the ability to treat the drugs, this time you can only listen to God's fate! In reality there really are crew members who have left their lives on board because of an emergency illness. Another thing is that the ship is always in a moving state, if you meet the windy weather accidentally fall into the sea, basically it is also a nine deaths. Ships are made of steel, and the risk of falling and bumping is much greater than that of working on land.
Second: the pirate zone. Although now there has been a convoy, and we usually conduct anti-piracy drills. We will also carry out certain anti-piracy measures when crossing the pirate zone. But some of the sea pirates are not the real meaning of the pirates, usually fishermen, occasionally pirates. Let a person can not be defended. Every year because of the pirate accident casualties of the crew also occupies a large part of the proportion. Some places where the pirates kidnapped to ransom okay, there are some places where the pirates are directly killing people and goods, really is particularly dangerous.
Third: the contradiction between the seafarers. Usually we live in a closed space, it is easy to be depressed or moody for a long time. And many ships A class department and engine department because of the interests of the problem, the relationship is not too good. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between people. Conflicts on the ship will be particularly terrible. Since crew members are not allowed to lock the door when they sleep at night, two people have a conflict and are thrown into the sea without even realizing it. It would still end up as a maritime accident with a missing person and be handed over to the insurance company to pay for it.
I am a seafarer, the best friend of the university gone, he is also a seafarer, his WeChat so far I have not dared to delete, every time I think of him, can only take out the WeChat chat records to see what used to be the past.
Friends of good people, but life is not good, thinking of running the ship a little harder to subsidize the family, the family has a younger brother studying, his father was hospitalized with a brain tumor, his mother is frail and sick.
Before the departure, but also and I contacted, said: ready to go on how big the boat, from where on the ...... last I wished him voyage security.
They ship no network, once on board the ship lost contact, and so on and then know his news, he is no longer there.
Their ship is a bulk carrier with a Kringle crane, sailing in the Indian Ocean, normal ordinary crew during the day to do maintenance work, because the weather is good, the organization to maintain the Kringle crane wire, my friend is a hardworking person, so took the job, but people did not expect, in the process of the friend of the upper high work, from the height of the fall, a heavy fall in the steel plate, when there is breathing.
The ship did a simple rescue, including oxygen, fluids, while immediately reported to the head office, ordered the captain immediately to the Indian Ocean near the nearest port to sail, ready to send shore rescue.
But the vast ocean, the speed of the ship is not like the speed of the airplane, and then fast, but also more than two days. The situation is not good, in the whole rescue process, due to the limited rescue on board, coupled with the ship's medical level is far less than the rescue of a seriously injured, no ultrasound, no X-ray machine and other equipment, the friend of the situation is not good, began to vomit blood, the whole body purple, and finally not waiting to arrive at the other side of the river, on the break.
Knowing this news, I was horrified, I rushed to contact the manager of his company's recruitment department that year, to learn more about the situation, the news and the university class group said exactly the same, like a bolt from the blue, simply no longer believe the fact that, as if just yesterday contacted the same, the head flashed countless good memories, but looked at the WeChat chat records, seem so helpless.
In the successive days, I asked the manager how his aftermath, so I began to doubt the significance of running the boat where? Friends of the body in a port in India, the body shall not be transferred, must be local cremation in India, asked the parents to go, but because the passport visa will not come out for a while, and waited for a full month, I really do not know that this month, his parents and family members and how to spend the time.
......
Too many chilling things on board, do not dare to easily remember, otherwise life are no way to take seriously, often wondered if I have to delete his WeChat, or every time I see, heartache, will lead to nonsense.
The sea does not ask for days to live much better, only to go home in peace.
On the ship's life hangs in the balance, how to save, it is better to ask how strong the life is when something happens on board.
The ship's medical treatment can only meet the small injuries, although the ship has a ventilator as well as defibrillator, pacemaker, and even each of us mastered a simple artificial respiration as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but when the life of the people once hanging by a thread, really rely on the life of the how strong it.
Running a boat does not seek to live more happy days, but seek to work more careful, safety first, has always been the crew in mind the recipe. I am @ seafarer , wish all seafarer brothers sailing safety, safe home.
Seeing this question, I suddenly thought of what happened to our ship in the last few days when a crew member was forced to take a vacation because of illness.
The last group of people in the ship to do close to a year, on July 12 in Tianjin, vacation, the new on this group of people, an electrician, 72 years, it is reasonable to say that the age is not too big, people are also quite good, to meet and talk about the joyful.
At first I didn't think he had a problem, this time in Fangcheng anchorage, the weather is hot, that day after dinner, he was walking the deck, a piece of a mechanic. Walking, the electrician shook his head, talking also do not take care of people, the mechanic thought it was too much to drink, not a few minutes, the person directly paralyzed on the deck, the mechanic shouted two people to rack him to the room, this time the leadership also went to see what happened.
Coincidentally, the captain said that the room is so hot, he wanted to open the air conditioning hole in his room a little bigger, when his room air conditioning hole is blocked with a large part of the cardboard. The cardboard was blocked by a large portion of the air conditioning hole in his room.
The captain took a look at the insulin, and realized that he had diabetes, and the electrician had no consciousness. The captain rushed to contact his family, the family is not panic, may be to see a lot, said all right, playing insulin playing hypoglycemia, give him some sugar water, a moment on the good.
Indeed, give him a drink of sugar water, twenty minutes to recover. The captain is afraid that in case the release of the ocean out of life, they want to let him take a vacation, we all know that during the epidemic, the crew want to take a vacation is very difficult. The company side is also no way.
Then let him write a guarantee, the electrician also wrote.
I remember the morning of the 3rd, when I was cruising the ship, I saw the electrician on the sea side with the home video, and said hello. Not a moment I and a sailor on duty in the ladder mouth, the electrician also came, talk to him he smiled at me, I also wondered in my heart, how this person, not a few minutes, he sat on the ladder mouth duty stool, his eyes have not opened. I did not pay special attention, the sailor said this old electricity is not to faint ah, I look at sitting on the stool body began to shake up, hurry to call people.
Later, the old track down, let him back to the room, found that he has been unable to walk on his own, let alone on the third floor room. So he called for someone to frame him back again.
This time the captain of the old rail is not assured, because it is only three or five days apart has been twice. In case no one found out something happened, it would be a big deal.
The captain requested that he must be allowed to take a vacation, the company also agreed, ready to let him off the ship. But now that the epidemic is getting worse, it's a toss-up whether he can take a vacation or not.
To the ocean in case the disease is serious, it must be a big deal.
So it is really necessary to do a physical examination before going on board, to anticipate the health of their own bodies. If you're on the ocean, you'll really have to carry your own weight.
In my previous experience of running a fishing boat, there are only 2 ways to deal with it, 1 is to use the medical supplies on board and the medical knowledge of the boat's personnel to help themselves, and 2 is to use the boat to return to the harbor, and bring it back to the harbor to go to the hospital for treatment. In the past, there was a case where a fishing boat had been running out to sea for 4 or 5 days when a crew member had a severe stomachache, and the shipyard didn't want to return to the harbor at that time, so it contacted the boat that happened to be returning to the harbor to bring it back by the way. (Because we only call at the port once a year for fishing, it's for boat repair and maintenance, otherwise the bosses don't want to call at the port, and when the fish are full, they will contact the big freezer ships to collect the fish. The crew's daily necessities will also be brought by other boats.
Wearing a lifejacket to appear abnormal hanging by a thread should be accompanied by a speedboat to save themselves to the shore
