Chapter 635: Support for multiple people Chapter 635: Support for multiple people As a young doctor, Huang Zhilei suddenly couldn’t understand the meaning of his senior, hesitating uncontrollably, his mind filled with thoughts of how to pull on Xie Wanying’s hand without yanking too hard? He seemed to be without a plan.
In such situations, one shouldn’t think too much; the more you think, the more time you waste, and hesitation in emergencies is a great taboo. His hand stalled halfway, and the others could see the urgency like a fire.
No sooner said than done, two or three figures suddenly broke into the crowd of onlookers. Among them, one person’s sharp gaze locked onto the emergency scene, and with a swift move, they pushed Huang Zhilei’s arm aside, grabbing Xie Wanying’s arm and pulling it out without a second thought.
All of this happened in an instant. Xie Wanying was taken aback, watching her hand being pulled away from the patient’s mouth, still in its original position, indicative of the fact that the pull was a matter of a single second.
It was rapid, swift, and somewhat ruthless.
The crowd of onlookers was similarly left with nothing but amazement in their eyes.
Who was the person pulling her hand? And miraculously, as they pulled out her hand, they also scraped off the object her fingers had been pressing on from the patient’s tongue. This blockage, a mottled lump mixed with mucus, phlegm, and vomitus, fell onto the patient’s chest.
Meanwhile, as her hand was withdrawn, the emergency treatment continued swiftly. The tongue depressor was rapidly placed into the patient’s mouth to press down on the tongue root, another person’s coordinated speed tilted the patient’s head backward to open the airway, and an oropharyngeal airway was promptly seated against the patient’s posterior pharyngeal wall.
The patient’s airway was clear again, and they were no longer at risk of suffocation. Everyone exhaled in relief.
Of course, such smooth emergency treatment was undoubtedly due to reinforcements arriving one after another.
Xie Wanying, reflecting on the firm pull on her hand, the speed and precision with which the tongue depressor and oropharyngeal airway were placed, and the skilled and quick adjustment of tilting the patient’s head, wondered where these three impressive rescuers came from. Looking closely, she realized it was the seniors who had arrived.
“Senior Cao,” Xie Wanying first saw Cao Yong across from her, and her heart leaped with joy. She remembered calling for Senior Brother Huang, yet to her surprise, Senior Cao had come in the end. With Senior Cao here, things were sure to be different.
When Cao Yong saw that his presence finally registered in her eyes, a smile with a hint of helplessness appeared between his brows. After all, he and the others had called out several times for her to let go, but she hadn’t heard any of it. Her concentration was, as always, extremely high.
Concerned, he looked at her hand that had been in the patient’s mouth, and his eyes and tone became serious, “Are you injured from a bite?”
He knew that under those circumstances, it had been unavoidable, but it would be troublesome if she got injured because of it.
“I don’t think so,” Xie Wanying said, then realizing that her arm continued to be held by the person who had pulled at her hand. She turned her head and followed the solid arm to see a face that made her exclaim, “Senior Tao?”
Senior Tao Zhijie, smiling like a god, had such strong arms, certainly not the type you’d associate with a fragile scholar. Remembering the force with which her hand had been pulled, Xie Wanying felt a slight ripple in her heart, momentarily questioning the three words ‘easy to talk to’ that were attributed to Senior Tao.
“Go wash your hands,” Tao Zhijie said, pulling her up with a tone that carried the weight of a command.
There were no ‘easy to talk to’ words this time.
“Yes.” Xie Wanying, aware of the occupational hazards, immediately went to wash her hands.
With the seniors there, she needn’t worry about the patient’s subsequent treatment. But that didn’t stop her from looking back and discussing the handover details as she walked away.
