Sakura Haruno Journal Entry 004
May 1st 1932
Let me clarify something. Haku was not the first time I've worked in surgery with a patient on the edge of death. It was not the first time I've done it without a proper hospital. It was not the first time I've been in charge of a patent. However it was the first time all three had happened at once, and more importantly it was the first time there was someone above me I could call.
The bullet had ripped into Haku's chest. It had actually lodged itself in Zabuza, but he had avoided talking about it, not wishing to distract me. The bullet had missed her heart by less than an inch, actually I realized later it would have hit the heart on most people. Weather the different placement was simply a lucky quirk or a result of her bloodline I don't know.
The bullet had still hit an artery, and she was leaking blood far too fast. The biggest problem was her bloodline, thankfully it was elemental rather than body, or I'm sure it would have been lost. Still the bloodline made things awkward. Part of what makes medical chakra so difficult is you have to force you own chakra into the patients system in order to manipulate it. Don't put in enough and nothing happens, but put in too much, or the wrong "type"(there a official word, but I can't remember it right now) and the patients chakra system can be overwhelmed. This can result in paralysis at best, and exploding organs at worst. Haku's chakra system was unique due to her bloodline. I could instantly apply medical technique, instead slowly adding chakra and seeing how she reacted.
In the end I actually thing her bloodline was what saved her. Even before I had properly begun healing, the blood flow slowed down, it felt cold. Frankly I'm lucky I was in such a panic to save her or I would have declared her dead. Even so it took all night to get her in stable enough condition to move back to the house. As a doctor I don't want to claim she's going to be fine to early, but it looks like she might have a chance. Even she won't be in combat for quite a while.
Other than that things have been rather weird. Since we got back both my teammates are grinning like idiots, Sasuke's just been staring at the mirror for hours and Naruto… I guess he's happy about Haku's survival. Kakashi's trying to drag me downstairs apparently they managed to get the radio transceiver and properly hook it up to broadcast over wave. They want all of us to say someone, Goddammit I'm too tired to think, let alone make speeches, I know I'm going to sound stupid.
