Chapter 122: 【122】Hurry, emergency rescue 3
“I know!” Huang Zhilei interrupted him urgently and likewise broke into a run.
This left Doctor Lin and Doctor Jiang stunned for a moment.
What was going on? It turned out that as Xie Wanying ran through the crowd as agile as a leopard, she didn’t draw much attention or cause any panic. However, the place she ran into was the very special resuscitation room Doctor Lin had mentioned!
Realizing it was the resuscitation room, Doctor Jiang followed suit, fearing that the patient with gastric bleeding in his resuscitation room was in trouble, and quickly rushed to check.
At that time, Yue Wentong, who was standing in front of the nurse station, was the first to see Xie Wanying rush into the resuscitation room. After a moment of surprise, the only image that flashed into his mind was of her successfully resuscitating an elderly patient in front of him more than three years ago.
His intuition told him something must be about to happen.
Turning around, Yue Wentong was the first one to follow into the resuscitation room. As he looked up, he saw Xie Wanying push away the dazed nurse with a shove.
“What’s wrong!” the nurse exclaimed, then snapped back to reality and yelled, “The patient’s heartbeat has stopped!”
At the same time, Xie Wanying positioned her hands one on top of the other on the patient’s chest and began to perform rapid cardiac compressions.
Yue Wentong, standing aside, wondered how he could help, when two more people rushed in, knocking him to the side.
The people who came in were none other than Huang Zhilei and Doctor Jiang.
In front of several onlookers, the monitor connected to the patient emitted a persistent, ear-piercing beeping alarm.
Doctor Jiang’s face turned pale, and he yelled loudly for Doctor Lin, “Old Lin, hurry, your patient, cardiac arrest—”
Doctor Lin, who was observing the group running, hadn’t thought it had anything to do with him. After all, he only remembered that the patient in his resuscitation room was about to be discharged, seemingly out of danger. He had taken a few steps in the opposite direction when he suddenly heard Doctor Jiang calling for him; surprised, he turned around and asked in confusion, “Who are you talking about, which patient, my patient?”
This rhetorical question almost doubted whether Doctor Jiang was out of his mind.
“Yes, Doctor Lin, your patient in the resuscitation room!” the nurse called out as she ran out of the room.
Now it seemed to be confirmed without doubt. Doctor Lin quickened his pace towards the resuscitation room, surprised, “Wasn’t it said that the patient being transferred from City Hospital Six hasn’t arrived yet? Where did the patient in need of resuscitation come from?”
“It’s the one who was lying in the resuscitation room,” the nurse explained hurriedly, almost incoherently, “You told me to remove the monitor leads from him. Just as I was about to do so, the alarm on the monitor went off.”
The nurse on the scene hadn’t been able to react immediately, and it was fortunate that someone had burst into the resuscitation room and pushed her aside to start immediate cardiac compressions on the patient.
“Is she your student, Doctor Lin? She reacted extremely fast,” the nurse remarked, squeezing out a sweat herself first.
Seeing a patient whose condition seemed to be improving suddenly suffer cardiac arrest was a shock to anyone. The nurse figured she herself would need a moment to regain her composure before remembering to call a doctor, let alone perform cardiac compressions.
At that time, anyone who could rush into the resuscitation room to perform a rescue was definitely a formidable individual, the nurse thought.
Because that’s how it is with cardiac patients: the faster the resuscitation, the higher the chance of success, but very few can remain so composed.
Hearing the nurse’s account, Doctor Lin denied, “No, I didn’t bring any students today.” As he spoke, he hastened into the resuscitation room to see who was so brave. Catching sight of the female intern performing cardiac compressions, he shouted in alarm, “Who let her perform cardiac compressions?”
