Chapter 288: The injured person is 80% likely beyond saving. Chapter 288: The injured person is 80% likely beyond saving. Mother Ah Tao seemed to be stimulated by the deeper progression of the patient’s injury. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The patient didn’t respond when called? Head injury? The emergency nurse, hearing this, ran to notify a colleague to call neurosurgery.
“Where is the person?” Luo Yanfen propped up the other, asking.
“In the car—” Mother Ah Tao, trembling all over, was almost limp, leaning on Luo Yanfen without the strength to get up.
“Make way, make way!” The doctor from the other hospital directed, ready to move the patient out of the vehicle.
Everyone made room at the rear of the ambulance.
The stretcher from the ambulance, with a swish, was brought down and set on the ground.
In the pitch-black night outside the emergency room door, it was impossible to see the patient’s condition clearly, and a bunch of people pushed the stretcher into the emergency room. The patients and their family members who were originally in the emergency room lobby were startled, each getting up and moving aside, their eyes wide open, staring at the patient being wheeled in.
Damn, the patient on the stretcher’s complexion was no different from a dead person, terribly scary.
Under the incandescent light, upon seeing the injured person’s body and face clearly, Luo Yanfen shuddered: She was a doctor, and her intuition told her that things were very bad.
“Yan Fen, what’s wrong? Please, hurry and save your uncle, I beg you, I beg you—” Mother Ah Tao, the ex-girlfriend of Ah Tao, clenched her hand tightly, grasping and pulling at her as if she was a lifeline.
“Wha-, what kind of vehicle hit him?” Luo Yanfen’s voice trembled as she asked.
Getting hit by a truck is much more terrifying than by a car; that much was obvious without much thought.
Images of accident scenes flashed through Luo Yanfen’s mind: The man being thrown into the air by the Acceleration of the truck’s hood, hitting the ground like a heavy sandbag, or desperately rolling on the ground, his bones shattered as if pulverized, organs ruptured and bleeding, his head burst open with brain matter spilling out… It was suffocating.
The patient arrived urgently, and there was no time to move other patients out of the resuscitation room; so the nurses hurriedly moved an empty bed outside the resuscitation room to make do and set the patient down.
The regular patients around, seeing this, scattered far away like avoiding the Plague God, too frightening.
Anxious about the severity of the injuries, Li Qi’an, the clinical rookie, also felt something was off and turned his head to look for a teacher to ask for help. Scanning the surroundings, apart from a nurse coming over to assist, only he and Xie Wanying were present, both wearing white coats.
The hot sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt faint, as if his body would fail him: What if the patient died in front of him?!
The external hospital’s doctor handed over the patient and was ready to leave quickly, which showed that the doctor from the other hospital believed the patient was mostly beyond hope.
As they connected the patient to the electrocardiogram monitor, with the other doctor wanting to leave, Xie Wanying called out, “Give us the medical records! You haven’t told us the patient’s condition—”
“There are no medical records. No records to be had.” the external hospital’s doctor replied. “The 120 emergency services called us out, and we didn’t really understand the situation on the scene. When we got there, we saw it was no good, and told the family to quickly find someone to contact a tertiary hospital. How could our small hospital handle such a case? Going to us would have meant waiting for death. We already did you a favor by giving the patient an injection and hanging up a drip.”
The blunt truth suggested someone was lying. It was Mother Ah Tao who lied. It turns out she didn’t take him to any hospital, but begged Luo Yanfen on the scene and directly brought him to Guoxie.
As for whether Mother Ah Tao called her son, she probably did, and it was likely that Ah Tao truly didn’t receive the call.
