Chapter 634: [(634)] Impatient as fire Chapter 634: [(634)] Impatient as fire Where did he get a girlfriend and a lover, and listening carefully it seemed to be the voice of his junior sister’s childhood friend.
As she ran, Wu Lixuan became flustered. Seeing him, she shouted his name without considering anything else; she must have remembered correctly that he was called Huang Zhilei. Hearing no response, she grew anxious and shouted again, “Huang Zhilei, didn’t you hear me calling you?”
Listening to this woman’s accusing tone, a group of doctors and nurses from their department looked again at Huang Zhilei: Is she really not your girlfriend? It seemed like she had come looking for a quarrel with you.
Huang Zhilei was about to scratch his head when he followed Cao Yong and turned back around. Fortunately, Senior Cao was by his side, and unlike others, he knew that this was definitely not the case.
“What happened, speak!” Cao Yong’s gaze fixed on Wu Lixuan’s panicky face, his expression and eyes both very serious, his voice stern, guessing it had absolutely something to do with Xie Wanying since her childhood friend had shown up here, “Where is Yingying?”
Wu Lixuan, frightened by his stern face reminiscent of a policeman or teacher, stammeringly answered him, “She’s outside. She said to come to find someone to help. She said the patient was having breathing difficulty, something stuck in their throat, that’s what she said–”
“Get a tongue depressor, an oropharyngeal airway,” Cao Yong quickly dropped instructions for those below to carry out and in the blink of an eye, he brushed past Wu Lixuan and rushed out.
She had no idea he could run so fast, like a leopard, and Wu Lixuan was stunned into standing foolishly in place.
Upon receiving Senior Cao’s command, Huang Zhilei took the tongue depressor and oropharyngeal airway from the nurse and ran out as quickly to save the person. Meanwhile, the nurses didn’t stand idle; they went to gather other emergency items and placed them on the treatment cart to push out and assist in the rescue.
In an emergency with a patient, every second’s delay could mean a life lost. The speed of the medical staff’s actions became a conditioned reflex within their work, not requiring much thought, speeding up again as if they were sprinters in a hundred-meter dash.
When the nurses ran out, Wu Lixuan finally came to her senses and ran after them.
Outside, having called her childhood friend for help, Xie Wanying was holding the patient’s jaw with one hand and prying open the mouth with the other, sweating from the nervousness.
The patient’s family members were anxious at the side as if they were about to faint. Curious passersby, not medical personnel, had formed a small circle around them. “Make way, make way!”
Pushing through the crowd, Cao Yong and Huang Zhilei managed to make a passage to the scene.
“Give it to me!” Cao Yong took the tongue depressor and oropharyngeal airway from his junior brother’s hand, crouching down at the patient’s head side.
Huang Zhilei prepared the flashlight for lighting and said to his junior sister, “Take your hand out.”
Xie Wanying, not daring to remove her hand, felt the patient’s tongue sliding backward. An object, had it not been for her finger pressing down on the tongue, might have fallen straight into the throat and directly into the patient’s airway, causing immediate suffocation.
“Take your hand out quickly.” Huang Zhilei urged his junior sister again, realizing she couldn’t hear him. Evidently, she had not realized they had arrived.
Concentrating on her finger, Xie Wanying considered whether to exert some force and pry out the object, then swiftly replace it with the other hand pressing down on the tongue.
“Pull her hand out!” Cao Yong, both hands occupied and unable to free a third hand, scolded his junior brother, who didn’t react in time.
