The dormitory supervisor aunt couldn’t help, so it was up to Jiang Peiqin and Xinyan. Of course, the dormitory supervisor aunt was not idle either; she had already gone to notify the German class counselor.
Jiang Peiqin learned some first aid knowledge when she was once sent for military training by her family.
As for Xinyan, in her past life, she had been trained in first aid while working at the club. Moreover, she had seen a lot in her later life, coupled with her current medical training under her master and senior brother. Naturally, these things were taught to her by them.
They cooperated with the doctor from the school clinic to treat the forehead injury, but then the doctor said, "She suffered a severe head injury from the fall down the stairs and must go to the hospital for further examination."
Indeed, the person hasn’t woken up yet. At the very least, it could be a concussion, but this decision is naturally beyond their control.
Just then, the dormitory supervisor aunt came in and said, "The German class counselor is on leave today, and I’ve already notified the department leadership."
Just as preparations were complete, the department leader and the German class monitor hurried in, "How is Gu Yingying doing?"
The doctor explained the situation in detail, and the department leader frowned, "Then hurry and take her to the hospital; we can’t delay any longer."
The department leader knew Gu Yingying had connections to get in; he was even more afraid of taking responsibility.
Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin bid farewell to the dormitory supervisor, "We will go back to class then."
Just as they were about to leave the school clinic, the department leader spoke up, "You two girls, don’t leave yet. Go to the hospital as well. Since the injured is a female classmate, there might be some inconvenient areas where you can help."
Originally, two female teachers could have been called to accompany, but the department leader couldn’t delay any longer.
So, Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin also went to the hospital together.
At the hospital, after a preliminary examination, the doctor asked them to pay the fee.
The department leader handed the money to Xinyan, who was closest to him, "Go run an errand and help Gu Yingying with the payment."
Xinyan took the money and responded, "Okay."
She quickly went to the first-floor payment desk to pay the fee. As she was about to leave with the receipt, she noticed a young man negotiating something with a doctor across from her.
As Xinyan passed by them, she heard the man say, "Doctor, I can gather the money soon, please make an exception."
The doctor looked impatient, "Xiao Guan, it’s not that I’m unsympathetic, but how much have you owed already? If I keep pleading for you, I might lose my job."
The young man called Xiao Guan had bloodshot eyes, "Doctor Qiu, I know I’m troubling you, but I really can’t just give up on my sister. Please help me once more."
The man called Doctor Qiu looked full of regret, "Xiao Guan, you went to see the leaders this morning. You saw their attitude. I’m just a small doctor; please don’t make it hard for me."
Perhaps feeling a bit merciful, the doctor sighed, "Let me put it this way: even if you manage to borrow money for the next few days, what then? Your sister’s condition now makes a miracle unlikely. Think about it carefully."
After speaking, he patted the young man’s shoulder and quickly left, leaving the young man standing there in despair.
Seeing this scene reminded me of myself in my past life, that sense of helplessness in times of despair, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity welling up.
