When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 304: Chapter 305: The Director in Pajamas

When Chen Cang and Old Liu were descending the stairs, worried about complications, two proactive young men also came to help, assisting in carrying the injured person to the ambulance.

After some hesitation, they decided not to go to the hospital.

The pair had only gone out to use the internet in the afternoon and were just returning to the school now, never expecting to encounter such an incident.

By now, they felt they had done their moral duty.

What if… what if the patient woke up and pinned the blame on them? Then it would all become incomprehensible.

The reason they had waited until now was because of the concern that the man might have complications.

Both were young men, freshmen at the university, still naïve and inexperienced, who, when faced with such a situation, impulsively wanted to lend a hand.

But…

As soon as they saw the man being loaded into the ambulance, they suddenly felt a desire to retreat.

After all, their department didn’t have the funds to cover the patient’s medical expenses in advance, and getting involved in any legal dispute would be even more troublesome.

They got up and left without leaving any contact information.

Chen Cang didn’t mind these details, as the most pressing concern now was to get the patient to the hospital for urgent care, determine the cause of the cardiac tamponade, and immediately commence aggressive treatment.

At this moment, the sound of the police siren from a 110 patrol car could be heard.

It was then that Chen Cang realized these two boys must have also called the police.

Given the patient’s critical condition, and the possibility of significant internal bleeding, it was imperative to get him to the hospital for timely treatment.

Chen Cang’s greatest worry was damage to the heart, which could lead to a large volume of blood entering the chest cavity…

If that were the case, treatment would become progressively more difficult.

So, at this very moment, every second counted!

Thinking this, Chen Cang quickly negotiated with the police and then hurriedly gestured for Old Liu to head to the hospital.

One of the police officers also followed Chen Cang to the hospital.

Seated in the vehicle, Chen Cang’s eyes were glued to the values on the heart monitor; the patient’s condition seemed stable for now.

Blood pressure was gradually recovering, the pulse was still fast, but much better than before.

Chen Cang opened a saline drip and started it for the man.

Although the quantity of blood drawn wasn’t significant, there was no way to know if there was a substantial internal bleed in the patient at this time.

If the patient was in shock due to a large loss of blood, it was necessary to use saline and blood to correct the hypovolemic shock and urgently prepare for thoracotomy to explore further!

At this juncture, Chen Cang picked up the phone to start contacting the hospital, organizing a rescue team!

He summoned the on-duty doctors from cardiology, thoracic surgery, and orthopedics, informing them of the situation.

The patient’s condition was unknown, but preparations for resuscitation had to be made, ready to deal with any special circumstances that may arise!

It was then that Chen Cang took out the man’s phone and managed to unlock it with two tries.

Now that the patient was in a coma due to shock, it was necessary to contact his family and fully inform them of the situation, proceeding according to various protocols.

As an emergency doctor, one truly needs more than just surgical abilities.

Opening the contact list, Chen Cang saw an entry labeled “wife” and hurriedly dialed the number.

The first time, there was no answer.

Chen Cang tried calling a second time, and there was still no answer.

Just as Chen Cang was about to contact someone else, the phone suddenly rang.

“Do you even remember to come back?!” the woman on the other end asked sharply.

Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, then composed his speech, starting with, “Hello, I am a doctor from the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital. Your husband has been involved in a traffic accident on the overpass, and we have now transported him to the Emergency Department at the Second People’s Hospital of Dongyang Province.”

“He is currently in shock, and we need to notify the next of kin immediately to sign for surgery preparation… Please come to the hospital as soon as possible.”

After Chen Cang finished speaking, the other party was clearly stunned, silent for a long while.

Anyone would be the same!

Waking up in the middle of the night to such news would be baffling.

Chen Cang originally thought the woman might suddenly burst into tears!

But unexpectedly, the woman was very calm and after a brief silence, she spoke quickly and methodically:

“Doctor! I’ll be right there, just wait a moment, I agree with all the emergency measures you take, I will sign them… Also, I am on my way right now, please do not delay the surgery, you must save my husband!”

As she said this, the woman seemed worried about something and quickly added: “Money is not an issue, Doctor, I will bring the money immediately, I only have 20,000 in cash at home, but I have more than 10,000 in my Alipay’s Huabei and 100,000 in Jiebei… You mustn’t delay because of the time.”

By the end of this, the woman’s voice was choked with emotion.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang was actually a bit nervous as well.

However, even with a quick check by the machines, Chen Cang couldn’t guarantee what the current situation was.

If this trauma-induced cardiac tamponade led to severe bleeding, it would be troublesome indeed.

Listening to the sounds from the monitor, the smell of alcohol filled his nostrils.

Chen Cang didn’t know the exact details of how the man had met with an accident or what had caused it, but drinking was certainly a major factor.

Chen Cang sighed…

There was no time to dwell on these things.

In a few minutes, the ambulance returned to the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, with Wang Yong already anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Inside the emergency hall, four or five doctors were poised and ready, waiting for the surgery to begin.

The emergency department had already applied for a green channel while Chen Cang’s ambulance was en route.

As the man was wheeled out of the ambulance, all the medical staff in the emergency hall sprang into action like a set of laws being activated, immediately starting a well-organized hustle!

Draw blood!

Conduct tests!

Run lab work!

Contact the blood bank!

The CT room was already prepared for the examination, with the nurses pushing the patient directly there.

And the bedside ultrasound had already arrived in the emergency resuscitation room, ready for testing at any moment.

The orthopedic doctor who arrived was again the young Dr. Zhang Xueliang.

And a doctor from the cardiothoracic surgery department came over and said, “Dr. Chen, we have already contacted the department head, and he will be here shortly.”

This surgery was destined to be led by the cardiothoracic surgery department.

With the assistance of the thoracic surgery department.

And the help of the orthopedic department.

Therefore, in case of any eventuality, the cardiothoracic surgery doctor had promptly gotten in touch with Tao Zi.

Just then, Chen Cang turned around to see Li Baoshan rushing in, wearing pajamas and leather shoes.

Indeed, the pajamas were pink.

It was clear that Li Baoshan had not had the time to change his clothes; he simply threw on his leather shoes by the door and rushed over as quickly as he could.

Chen Cang suddenly realized why the hospital’s residential quarters were provided for department heads, and it wasn’t just because of their high status. It was because, during overtime and emergency rescues, they needed to be on call at a moment’s notice.

At this moment, Chen Cang felt a surge of respect for Director Li.

He had abstained from alcohol for twenty or thirty years, maintaining a clear head at all times, ensuring he could be immediately ready for surgery whenever needed.

This was the dedication of an old emergency department head.

Li Baoshan put on his white coat and came straight over.

The patient was still undergoing examinations and had not yet returned.

Meanwhile, the operating room was ready, the blood was prepared, waiting for the surgery to begin at any moment.

At this moment, all the medical staff were primed and ready to face the battle ahead.

The hearts of everyone, along with the patient’s condition, were ridden with anxiety!

And at that time, Tao Zi also arrived, in stark contrast to Li Baoshan’s meticulousness. Tao Zi was directly wearing a white tank top, boxer shorts, and flip-flops, and as he walked, one could hear the “slap slap… slap slap” sound of his footsteps.

However, such a sight seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary to everyone; after all, these department heads worried about their patients’ well-being and had no time to change clothes!
