The hospital leaders had arrived in haste, a large group of them, with several Deans all present.
"Intracranial fracture, comorbid with cerebral contusion, lacerations, extradural hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, and even brainstem injury. There’s significant bleeding, compressing brain tissue, causing midline shift and herniation."
Just hearing this litany of reported injuries was enough to imagine the severity of the young girl’s condition.
Lu Jing also hastily spoke up, given he was the first doctor to attend to her.
"Apart from the brain injuries, she also suffered a comminuted fracture of the left arm, and the first and third ribs are broken."
These were all things found in the emergency scans after she was brought into surgery, which unavoidably led to suspicions of child abuse.
The middle-aged woman had initially claimed it was ’a fall that caused it.’
Since when does a fall cause such severe injuries from head to toe?
The thoracic surgeon also timely reported, "Dean, the young girl went into ventricular fibrillation, with a ventricular rate of 250-600 beats per minute, which is very serious."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to have doctors from three major departments gathered here.
The leaders seemed to have grasped the situation before finally turning their gazes toward the family next to the operating table.
The Dean stepped forward and gently patted the middle-aged woman’s shoulder, not saying anything, yet as if everything was communicated. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N()velFire.net
Then he beckoned two Vice Deans over:
"Help her out, take good care."
It wasn’t long before the police arrived.
Lu Jing and others, including the family, had left the operating room.
Just as they came out, still trying to process the events, the middle-aged woman lunged at them:
"You killed my child, give me back my child!!!"
Dr. Jia from Neurosurgery was already feeling extremely distressed and his thoughts were in disarray; caught off guard by the sudden attack, he didn’t manage to avoid it and was knocked straight to the ground.
’Plunk’, the tall figure of six feet fell hard on the ground, with the middle-aged woman landing on top of Dr. Jia.
The large man immediately teared up from the pain.
Onlookers rushed forward to separate them.
The middle-aged woman continued shrieking unceasingly:
"Give me back my child, you murderer!"
Dr. Jia had been patient up until now, but being accused of murder was too much to bear.
"Do you not know who the real murderer is? Could she have inflicted such serious injuries on herself?"
The middle-aged woman stopped dead, seemingly reminded of something, and her face contorted in agony.
"Wuu... How could this happen? How could this be?" she began to mutter incessantly.
Luckily, the police officers arrived:
"Is everyone here?" they asked.
The hospital leaders responded:
"Yes, everyone’s here. Officer, we’ll leave it in your hands."
What followed was bound to be chaotic.
The officers were also having a tough time, having been notified of an incident at the hospital and feeling their scalps go numb.
This wasn’t the first time dealing with such a situation, and almost every time, they ended up with accidental injuries. And if they were hurt, they couldn’t complain and had to silently endure it, paying for medical expenses out of their own pockets.
"Alright then, let’s all head to the station."
This wasn’t the place for discussions.
Fortunately, two police cars had arrived, filled to capacity, not one person too many or too few.
Sitting in the police car, Lu Jing let out a sigh and glanced at the time; it was just past midnight.
According to regulations, no one could be contacted at this time, and Lu Jing was no exception.
Upon entering the car, everyone’s cell phones were confiscated.
"We’re here, everyone get out."
