Chapter 133: Emergency!
When Lu Cheng arrived at the Emergency Surgery Clinic, two police officers were bringing in a person.
One of the police officers impolitely pushed a young man with yellow hair and yelled, “Still running? You don’t even care about your life?”
It’s impossible to have a good temper; just this brawl today, even though everyone was arrested, the Public Security system in Long County will definitely get a demerit.
It’s already 23 years, and there are still group fight incidents in the subordinate areas, injuring so many people, and the responsibility for inadequate public security and failure to provide early warning will definitely be borne.
As soon as the three arrived, two of them were in serious condition and had already been taken to the rescue room.
When the two entered the rescue room, they were still shouting, “What the hell are you looking at? Haven’t you ever died before?”
“So what if I looked? You’re a scrawny guy. If we two met alone, you’d be lucky to see tomorrow, and I’d be useless.” A fat man glared, fearless.
“Behave yourselves!” The accompanying police officers quickly pushed the two men, neither of whom was lightly injured.
They were practically dying, yet they were still arguing.
Zeng Huanqi was explaining to the other police officers, “We only have two doctors on standby in the Emergency Department, but I already called the director as soon as I received your call. Others will be here soon…”
“I hope you can maintain order and absolutely do not resort to fighting again or causing further accidental injuries,” Zeng Huanqi had been in the Emergency Department longer than Lu Cheng, so he was quite experienced.
At this moment, it was not only about preventing them from fighting each other, but they might also become violent towards the doctors, especially since they were enraged.
An older police officer said, “Later, two people are seriously injured, and one person’s entire hand was chopped off. It’s only been bandaged simply… we can’t handle anything else here…”
“There are more than just these few injured this time; the others went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. It’s best if… no one dies.”
Zeng Huanqi glanced at the police officer and said, “We will do our best to save them, but before that, we need to perform a triage.”
Lin Qianlong also lived in the Gaojiapo Residential Area, mainly because it was close to the hospital, and as the Director of the Emergency Department, he had to be able to arrive at any time, so he bought a new house there.
Upon hearing the phone call, Lin Qianlong cursed and twisted the throttle of his Electric Scooter to the maximum.
From the moment he received the call to when he directly rode the electric scooter to the entrance of the Emergency Department, it took less than ten minutes.
He quickly rushed inside and immediately entered the rescue room, “What’s the situation?”
“Director Lin, this patient has an ulnar artery injury. The EMT used a rope to temporarily stop the bleeding. My colleague Xiao Lu and I are examining the wound.”
“Another one has a stab wound to the abdominal wall, but it’s a cut in the lower left abdomen. There shouldn’t be any acute hemorrhagic injury, so we’ll consider doing that first…”
When Lin Qianlong heard it was a stab wound, his face turned pale, “You young people? Why are you still stabbing each other?”
At this point, either the two in the rescue room had lost their strength or their interest, and they didn’t reply, just stared blankly at the ceiling with vacant expressions.
Perhaps they regretted it, or perhaps the blood loss had led to a state of indifference.
Lu Cheng, wearing sterile Gloves, used Hemostats and Tweezers to probe inside, finding and clamping the ulnar artery and vein separately.
After a few “cracks,” Lu Cheng said, “Brother Zeng, this patient might not have time for much pre-operative preparation. We need to get him to the Operating Room quickly.”
“There’s also a lot of oozing from small blood vessels here that can’t be handled.”
“Has the On-duty Supervisor arrived?” Lu Cheng asked.
“The On-duty Supervisor is here, and the Vice President will be here soon!” someone from outside replied. Receiving mass brawl injuries at the County Hospital requires at least a Vice President to personally oversee the rescue efforts; this is not a trivial matter.
Patients and White Coats arrived one after another in a hurry, and soon there were six patients.
Lin Qianlong took a general look at the numerous patients outside before turning and saying, “Peng Ping, make a call to Professor Chen Song. The condition of these patients is also quite severe.”
“Six people, with a total of nineteen cuts, inside and out, top and bottom…”
At this moment, Peng Ping couldn’t bother with whether Professor Chen Song was a distinguished guest visiting the countryside; in an emergency, expediency was paramount.
Peng Ping immediately made the call herself, “Yao Lina, quickly ask the Nursing Department and the Logistics Department to dispatch personnel and monitors…”
While Peng Ping was speaking, people from Orthopedics also arrived.
Not only was Xiang Kuihua, the on-duty doctor from Orthopedics today, but also the two ward directors from Orthopedics, Peng Haibo and Liu Xia.
Of course, Peng Kun also arrived at the Emergency Department with Peng Haibo. After seeing the scene, they immediately led people to the treatment room to begin the initial examination…
“Peng Kun, go register the information quickly and issue all the Medical Orders immediately.”
“Xiang Kuihua, continue your examination and assess the injuries!”
“Peng Kun, call the people in the Department and tell them to go directly to the Operating Room.”
“On-duty Supervisor, has the Operating Room been prepared?” Peng Haibo shouted towards the On-duty Supervisor.
With so many patients, the On-duty Supervisor, representing the hospital, needed to allocate the preparation of regular Operating Rooms and Emergency Operating Rooms, preferably capable of running simultaneously.
“They were prepared immediately. We are contacting the blood bank and transferring some blood from other nearby hospitals,” the middle-aged man serving as On-duty Supervisor replied, flustered.
“People from General Surgery have also arrived. Everyone, continue sorting them out!”
“What’s going on? Holy shit…”
“Cart…”
“Be still, don’t move!”
“Quickly draw blood, get an ECG, set up cardiac monitoring, and give oxygen.”
“Director Lin, this person’s vital signs are not good.”
“The Emergency Critical Care Ward staff have also arrived.”
“Intra-abdominal hematoma, someone…”
“Gurgle, gurgle, crackle, crackle…” The sounds of various carts rolling mixed together.
With more people and a multitude of voices, the sounds intertwined as the number of people increased…
When Lu Cheng had finished temporarily stopping the bleeding for the patient with ulnar artery and vein damage, nearly twenty White Coats were rushing around the Emergency Department.
Lu Cheng saw Lin Qianlong at first glance and walked up to him, “Director Lin, should I go to the Operating Room now, or stay here to prepare for consultations?”
Lin Qianlong heard Lu Cheng’s voice and quickly said, “You hurry to the Operating Room… Professor Chen said he’s coming directly to the Operating Room…”
“We have enough staff here. The real battle is in the Operating Room later,” Lin Qianlong yelled impatiently.
“Zeng Huanqi, Zeng Huanqi,” Lin Qianlong started calling for someone again.
“Director Lin, I’m in the rescue room. This patient’s intra-abdominal bleeding needs to be stopped on-site. Director Du from General Surgery and I are working on it…”
“This patient is in shock. Administer intravenous adrenaline immediately…” Huang Haibo, the director of the Internal Medicine Group and Critical Care Ward, yelled.
Lu Cheng couldn’t find his place to help for a moment and decided to wait in the Operating Room as Director Lin Qianlong instructed.
Emergency rescue relies on obeying commands; it’s the work of a group, not something one person can easily accomplish alone.
Unless one possesses the profound Technique of Professor Chen Song, it’s unlikely to undertake such a special task.
To injure one person, one person is enough; but to save one person, even three to five may not be sufficient.
Lu Cheng glanced at the patient with the abdominal incision. Although he recalled Professor Chen Song’s scene of emergency laparotomy and hemostasis in the rescue room, Lu Cheng only dared to think about it.
Without the ability, one can only retreat.
The Operating Room is where he belongs; his ability is still insufficient.
