Chapter 388: [SOS 388] Cry for help everywhere Chapter 388: [SOS 388] Cry for help everywhere “`
The hot pot boiling with water was knocked over, and the scalding hot pot water splattered everywhere. Diners who were splashed screamed horrifically as the waitstaff scrambled in a frenzy.
An elderly person clutched at their chest.
In the cries of her children, the elderly person who clutched her chest suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and after free-falling, lay on the ground motionless like a zombie.
“Doctor, is there a doctor?! It’s my mom, save my mom–” the daughter threw herself onto the elder, beating the elder’s clothes with her hands, screaming in all directions, her face etched with fear and helplessness.
On one side, two employees managed to drag their bleeding colleague out of the fighting area with great effort, calling out similarly: “Doctor, call a doctor, dial the hospital!”
The young man with a head injury lay motionless, his face under the incandescent light covered in blood, the area on top of his head where he was bleeding was red like a vast sea, his skin pallid and translucent.
“What should we do?” He Xiangyu asked with a tense voice.
They wanted to turn back to help, but the fight blocked their way completely. Those drunkards wouldn’t care if someone was injured or if someone was dying, only caught up in their own world of alcohol-fueled brawling.
Damn alcohol demons! Any doctor would curse them to death.
Looking for a breakthrough, the three of them searched around. Xie Wanying, who turned her head, suddenly caught sight of the switchboard hanging near the door on the white wall, sprinted over, flipped open the cover to see the labels clearly, and decisively pulled down the lighting circuit breaker.
The lights in the hot pot restaurant instantly went out.
The sudden darkness caused the drunken men fighting to halt their actions. In the pitch-black environment, aside from the two who continued to roll on the ground, the rest didn’t know what to do.
“What happened? Did it get dark outside?”
“It got dark ages ago.”
“Power’s out? Has anyone got a flashlight!”
“Mom, Mom! Doctor, save my mom–”
“This way.” Xie Wanying grabbed the hands of her two senior sisters. She had observed the route to get through before pulling the switch, and as long as they followed the path she remembered, they could pass through the fighting area smoothly.
Following the voice of the woman calling for her mother, Xie Wanying and her two fellow doctors reached the side of the collapsed elder.
“She pulled the switch!” Someone remembered Xie Wanying’s action in flipping the switch, rushed over to the switchboard, and turned it back on.
The lights came back on, snapping others out of their daze as they saw the two men on the ground continuing to exchange punches on each other’s faces.
Xie Wanying and her two senior sisters quickly attended to the emergency patients.
Squatting next to the elder who lay on the ground, Xie Wanying’s fingers felt for the patient’s carotid artery, her heart screamed: Bad, it stopped!
“Yingying, the bleeding won’t stop–” The two senior sisters, assessing the condition of the injured staff member, realized something was wrong and turned to shout at her. Now, they had completely forgotten she was just a clinical novice and only remembered she studied surgery.
“Wait a second,” Xie Wanying replied. Over here her actions were decisive and swift. She first cleared the obstructive materials from the elder’s mouth, then stacked her hands, performing uninterrupted chest compressions on the elder.
“Are you–?” The waitstaff and other diners snapped back to reality and asked the three of them, “Doctors, are you?”
“They’re doctors, no doubt about it, they must be doctors!” the first person to catch on insisted.
“Doctor, please save my mom!” the children of the elder surrounded Xie Wanying, who was performing first aid, and said.
