The accident happened 20 hours earlier
The emergency room was very busy during the day. But the end of the day is finally approaching. A 29-year-old man is brought in unexpectedly. The diagnosis: a fracture of the right tibia and fibula. A piece of the fibula is even hanging out of the wound. The patient was sitting on his motorcycle when he crashed into a mototaxi yesterday evening. The accident site was in the state of Madre de Dios. Quite far away. The patient traveled a good 10 hours through the night to the Diospi Suyana Hospital. Past many state hospitals and private clinics.
Traumatologist Dr. Meiswinkel knows what he has to do. The operation will begin in a few minutes. Duty is duty. We hope that the wound will not become infected. Of course, there is a considerable risk of bone inflammation (osteomyelitis).
