“One infusion channel isn’t enough, set up another one, we need to rescue from shock,” Doctor Ye said with conviction, “The blood she brought can’t be used, how do we know if it belongs to this patient? If something goes wrong, it becomes our hospital’s responsibility.”
Hearing this, Xie Wanying further assured, “I’m willing to stake my life to guarantee that this blood is definitely from this patient.”
“I don’t believe any of your words. Our hospital doesn’t recognize tests done by other hospitals, we have to redo all the tests,” Doctor Ye said to her, growing more impatient, “Haven’t your teachers taught you? Your presence here is disrupting our emergency work flow.”
Not all medical seniors have the broad-mindedness of Guoxie’s teachers. Right now, Doctor Ye clearly didn’t want to hear anyone’s opinion.
Xie Wanying could only stand aside, her eyes fixed on Mother Dongzi’s face. The patient’s complexion was getting worse, it was agonizing for her. In such a condition, the patient should’ve had more help for the rescue, yet there was only one nurse looking for a vein, saying, “I can’t find a vein, Doctor Ye.”
Just as Xie Wanying had said, one can’t find a vein in a state of shock. Doctor Ye ordered, “Call Doctor Cai, he should be able to perform a venous cutdown.”
“Isn’t Doctor Cai an intern?” the nurse questioned.
“He’s going to stay in our hospital’s ICU after graduation, don’t worry,” Doctor Ye answered.
Soon after, a young doctor wearing glasses hurried in, a few years older than Xie Wanying, with an intern badge on his chest.
“Did you call me to perform the venous cutdown, Teacher Ye?” Doctor Cai asked, surprised by the instruction given by Doctor Ye.
“Yes, you do it. You just learnt it during your rotation in surgery, hurry up and do it. This patient is in shock, if you don’t do it, she’s going to die,” Doctor Ye threw out these words and went back to treating his own patient.
Receiving the orders from a superior, Doctor Cai’s face was full of panic, clearly he hadn’t mastered the technique of venous cutdown to a level of confidence.
Xie Wanying, who witnessed this, felt a chill wind blow through her heart: was she wrong? Maybe she shouldn’t have brought Mother Dongzi here.
“Doctor Cai, can you do it?” the nurse asked him in a low voice.
Not a chance. Doctor Cai thought, he had studied surgery, but the essentials learned during the short internship period were not enough to perform a venous cutdown alone. And now, Doctor Ye insisted on having him do it.
“Tell Doctor Ye you can’t do it,” the nurse reminded him.
“Isn’t she in a temper?” Doctor Cai asked fearfully, stealing glances at Doctor Ye.
Doctor Ye was angry, “The emergency center is insane, they keep sending over heart attack cases, I have no one to help here. And now they’ve sent someone with severe shock injuries, no one from surgery either. Whom should I blame but the one who sent her here? The one who sends the patient has to take responsibility!”
The last sentence exploded in Xie Wanying’s mind.
It was her fault. If she had known, she should have taken Mother Dongzi back to Guoxie at any cost.
How could she have forgotten, forgotten the harsh lessons about blood from before her reincarnation!
When she took her grandfather to another hospital for emergency care before her reincarnation, it was the same situation. She thought by taking her grandfather to a better hospital than her own, one that could perform cardiothoracic surgery, she never imagined that they would directly drag an old man’s life away in the emergency room due to the lack of connections in surgery.
Emergency departments in hospitals, especially in large hospitals, are overwhelmed with too many patients, leading to a severe relative shortage of staff. Emergency surgeries are high-risk, and not every hospital is willing to take the risk of performing them, just like regional hospitals offloading patients directly to tier-three hospitals.
