To work as Medical Doctor and Surgeon under extreme conditions
About the book
It was between eleven and twelve o'clock. I had started the operation when a huge detonation occurred. The floor of the theatre room was shaking and the instrument nurse got shocked that the scalpel fell from her hand in my hand and had cut my middle finger. Dr Lizette fell over with the stool. She was severely shocked when she came up with a pale face. The instruments had slipped around on the moving instruments table that the nurse had to put them back in place. I spread some brown solution for disinfection on the wound and changed the gloves and continued the operation. The middle foot were cut off through the lower ankle joint and the large tarsal bones were covered with soft tissue flaps which were sutured together over the short foot stump. The huge detonation had shaken the bones of the people not only in the theatre building, but in the whole hospital. It was my concern that the impact could have taken the life of many people. I read the fear in the eyes of the people in the theatre room.
