Chapter 405: No Heartbeat
At this moment, there was a swarm of reporters gathered outside the emergency department.
Jiang Tingxu’s heart skipped a beat. One could only imagine how serious the accident at the construction site was to have alerted so many reporters.
Just as Jiang Tingxu was feeling astounded, two ambulances drove into the hospital one after the other and stopped outside the emergency department.
Old Liu and Old Bao were the first to jump out of the ambulances. Old Liu saw Jiang Tingxu with his sharp eyes.
“Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang, this patient’s condition is quite critical. Take a look at him first!”
This was such a big accident so the emergency department probably didn’t have enough doctors.
So, how could they let a doctor go when they had seen her?
Jiang Tingxu took two steps forward and began to examine him.
“What is the initial diagnosis?” She asked simultaneously.
“A spiral comminuted fracture of the calf and a fracture of the femoral neck. Currently, he is unconscious and isn’t able to breathe without external help.”
Jiang Tingxu took the small flashlight in Old Bao’s hand and shone it on the patient’s pupils. “His pupils have already dilated by at least 0.6. He is suspected of having a cerebral hemorrhage. Send him to the emergency room immediately.”
If the cerebral hemorrhage was large, it could result in disability or death. No one dared to waste any time in front of life.
“Yes!”
Old Bao and Old Liu moved very quickly. They pushed the patient while shouting at the surrounding reporters.
“Emergency patient, please make way.”
Jiang Tingxu followed them and ran at the side but she was stopped by the reporters.
“Hello, are you a doctor from Yun City’s No, 1 Hospital?”
“Yes!”
“Can you tell me the specific situation of that patient? Is he in critical condition?”
Were they blind?
If it wasn’t serious, how could he be sent directly to the emergency room?
Jiang Tingxu didn’t plan to respond but the reporter was holding him back.
Damn, what time was it?
A life was at stake, okay?
“You’re a reporter, right? Do you think I have time to explain this to you now?”
One sentence caused the reporter’s face to turn red.
Jiang Tingxu pulled her hand away and pushed the patient into the emergency department together with Old Liu and old Bao.
As expected, it was a mess inside. There were too many patients and family members who were here to watch the show.
“Make way, make way,” Old Liu shouted again.
The people were crowding around to watch the show but they still made way for the patient very quickly.
However, the patient’s condition was getting worse. The data on the detector was plummeting.
“Quicken the pace,” Jiang Tingxu shouted anxiously.
“Hurry up!”
“Hurry up!”
This anxious shout was enough to make everyone’s heart stopped beating.
The door of the resuscitation room opened with a bang. A nurse came out:
“Dr. Jiang, everything is ready.”
Jiang Tingxu nodded:
“Where are the others?” She asked.
“They’re all busy. This is the only resuscitation room left in our department.”
If it weren’t for the fact that all the slightly weaker patients were sent to other hospitals for treatment, this last resuscitation room would probably be gone too.
“We’ll start immediately. Old Liu, Old Bao, you two stay behind to help.”
On the way in, they didn’t even see a single doctor or nurse. They had no choice but to let Old Liu and Old Bao stay.
“Alright.”
“Get a CT scan. I want to see what’s going on in his brain.”
The nurse quickly responded.
“I’ll inform the radiology department right away.”
“Okay, tell them to push the equipment over. The patient cannot move.”
“Okay!”
Beep! Beep! Beep!
At that moment, the equipment started to emit a piercing sound.
“Oh no, there’s no heartbeat!”
“Old Liu, squeeze the ball!”
