Xiang Xueming had a cigarette in his mouth, and he looked like a normal township cadre in Bazhaixiang. His legs were spread apart, and he leaned against the wall. He smoked weakly and stared at the distant mountains in front of him, as if he was admiring the scenery that could not be seen in the city. He was also hiding his helplessness.
Across him was Li Kangxue, a contract doctor who was newly assigned by Cangping District Hospital. He was in his twenties and had just graduated. He was not very skilled at smoking, just like how he behaved in the hospital.
District hospitals were a good place to retire, but if he could not get authorized, he would not be able to retire.
After he was sent to the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, Li Kangxue became even more dispirited. After he finished smoking a cigarette, he lit another one and exhaled. He then said in an old-fashioned tone, "Old Xiang, are the people from Yun Hua Hospital coming or not? If this continues, I'll really have to retire."
"You have to have a position to retire. Do you have one?" It was the first time Xiang Xueming heard Li Kangxue complain, and he was a little nervous. Now that he was tired, and he knew that Li Kangxue was a person who liked to complain, he did not bother to say more.
Li Kangxue did not expect him to persuade him, and he habitually said, "Look at these doctors in Yun Hua. None of them came to help. It's such a big thing, right? They're too lazy to even move."
"The bridge is broken, and the cars can't cross." Xiang Xueming was also very annoyed. Since yesterday, the flood was getting stronger, and it finally cut off the traffic between Bazhaixiang and the outside world.
"So, there's no hope for Yun Hua Hospital's support?"
"How should I know?" Although Xiang Xueming said that, he still had hope in his heart.
Even though Ling Ran was his classmate, deep down, Xiang Xueming actually admired a classmate like Ling Ran. He was a good student, handsome, humble, and focused as a doctor …
This was especially so in the past two years, when Xiang Xueming worked in Bazhaixiang, Zhang Anmin, who was hired as a freelance surgeon, praised Ling Ran highly.
This time, Bazhaixiang encountered a mudslide, and it was an unprecedented challenge for the Bazhaixiang hospital branch. Xiang Xueming did not believe in anyone but Ling Ran.
He did not have the backing of a big hospital, and he did not have any powerful seniors or senior brothers. So, Ling Ran was Xiang Xueming's strongest backing.
When Xiang Xueming thought of this, he looked at the restless Li Kangxue and could not help but smile. He said, "Don't worry. Even if the sky falls, there's a big guy to hold it up. The patients we have left here are not very serious to begin with. We just need to maintain their condition."
"Maintain? If we can hold on, the old man who had a heart attack last night wouldn't have left. " Li Kangxue had not killed many people before. He said uncomfortably, "You have to think it through. Sell everything you can …"
"Do you have a place to act pitiful?" Xiang Xueming asked calmly.
Li Kangxue was speechless. His educational background and conditions were far worse than Xiang Xueming's. If Xiang Xueming could still ask for help from his classmates and teachers in Yun University, he, a graduate of the School of Chinese Medicine, had even weaker social relations and was even more alienated.
"We can't find anyone to save the day. Ah Da, don't laugh at Ah Er," Li Kangxue added, looking reluctant.
Xiang Xueming pursed his lips. When he wanted to say something, he focused his attention and looked forward.
Li Kangxue also looked forward. Then, he noticed that there was a small black dot that was constantly approaching from the direction of the sun.
"Is that a helicopter?" Li Kangxue's eyes widened.
Not to mention how many helicopters he had seen on TV, this was the first time he had seen a helicopter in real life.
Xiang Xueming and the other doctors who interned in Yun Hua Hospital had at least seen a helicopter parked on the roof of Yun Hua Hospital. The hospital where Li Kangxue interned was a dilapidated tertiary Grade A hospital. His knowledge was completely different from theirs.
As they spoke, the helicopter was already very close. Xiang Xueming looked at the golden exterior of the helicopter and became excited. "It's a helicopter from Yunli Medical Company. It should be Doctor Ling."
"Really?" Li Kangxue still did not quite believe it.
For him, the feeling of a doctor coming over by helicopter was really unreal.
In the open space in front of the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, the weeds were waving their limbs desperately. They were blown by the wind brought by the helicopter.
Xiang Xueming no longer hesitated. He quickly ran downstairs to direct the traffic and kept the people who were watching the show outside.
"Stop taking pictures. Hurry up and tell the children to hold the horses tight. Lead the animals further away. Don't let the horses run into the helicopter because they are frightened. Who will pay for the damages?" Xiang Xueming gave random instructions. He did not know how to welcome the helicopter.
Li Kangxue just responded, pointed to the front, and said in a low voice, "He's coming down."
"What?" Xiang Xueming could not hear him clearly amid all the noise.
"He's coming down." Li Kangxue's voice was a little louder.
"What?"
Li Kangxue shouted, "He's so handsome!"
Xiang Xueming heard this sentence clearly. He quickly turned and saw the door of the helicopter open. Ling Ran, who was wearing a normal white coat, appeared in the open space with a very strong presence.
Blue sky, white clouds, and a golden helicopter.
With this as the background, Ling Ran attracted everyone's attention in an instant. Then, they could not even move their eyes away.
Xiang Xueming could not help but think of the scene when he first saw Ling Ran in school. He almost said that he had an overwhelming presence.
"Go and welcome him." Xiang Xueming hurriedly straightened his clothes and quickly walked forward. When he was still a distance away, he respectfully called out, "Doctor Ling!"
Ling Ran's expression was natural. He nodded at Xiang Xueming and said while he walked, "The bridge in front is broken. Are there any seriously injured people behind you? If there are, they can be sent back to Yun Hua Hospital together with the helicopter. "
The medical conditions in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch were very different from those in Yun Hua Hospital. Normal patients with light illnesses could be treated in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, and there might not be much difference, but serious patients would definitely not be able to be treated.
Forget about other things, the fact that there was no ICU could determine the life and death of half of the people here.
Xiang Xueming answered, but he looked at the helicopter a little hesitantly and said, "The income of the people in Bazhaixiang hospital branch is not high. If we charge for the helicopter, they might not be able to afford it."
"There's no charge. The department will pay for the helicopter, "Ling Ran answered very directly.
Even though it was a pharmaceutical sales company, the cost of flying a helicopter to and fro was very high. Even if Yunli Medical Company was willing to do it for free, Zuo Cidian was not willing to owe this favor.
Xiang Xueming immediately agreed and said, "Then, I thank Doctor Ling on behalf of the people in Bazhaixiang hospital branch."
Zuo Cidian followed behind them with a medical kit in his hand. He pursed his lips. "What about us?"
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you." Xiang Xueming cupped his hands in front of his chest.
He had stayed in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch for almost two years, and his social skills in interacting with others had obviously improved the fastest.
When they entered the hospital, the strong smell of blood and noises traveled into everyone's ears.
The small hall, which was supposed to be used for registration and queuing up, was now filled with hospital beds. When the patients' family members walked in and out to take care of them, it was so noisy that it was annoying.
Just by looking at the scene here, everyone already had an idea of what was going on in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch.
Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows a little. "Three things. First, Yu Yuan will prepare a plan for nosocomial infection. Second, Lu Wenbin will go and grade the patients. Third, sort out the operating theaters and wards. "
A group of doctors in large white coats answered loudly. Because their voices were so synchronized that the patients and their family members who were talking stopped talking.
