The main purpose of blood collection was to determine the patient's blood type so that they could be matched.
Blood transfusion was the best way to treat hemorrhagic shock.
"There's a large amount of fluid in the liver and renal crypts. Liver rupture and bleeding are suspected," the doctor in the ultrasound room reported.
"What surgery?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked.
"Interventional radiology to stop the bleeding," Zheng Ren said. "Inform the operating room to prepare for interventional radiology."
The nurse had already connected the intravenous drip and tossed a bag of dextran into the ambulance. The ECG monitor was also placed on the ambulance and escorted to the operating room.
"Chief Physician Pan, I'll have to trouble you with the preoperative signature." Zheng Ren disappeared around the corner like a gust of wind.
Old Chief Physician Pan's expression was solemn. He knew how heavy the patient was.
The low blood pressure was no longer detectable, which meant that the patient's blood volume was very low and the bleeding was rapid. Even with surgery, the possibility of survival was not high.
Zheng Ren rushed to the operating room. Old Chief Physician Pan instructed the emergency department staff to preserve the patient's clothing and mark each item. They also had to do this under video surveillance to preserve evidence.
These things were not meaningless.
Every year, patients who were admitted to the hospital as anonymous and successfully rescued would later find out that … Regardless of whether it was true or not, there were at least eighty cases of patients who had lost their belongings and sought compensation from the doctors.
Therefore, in the emergency department, there were always a few moments that were delayed by these trivial matters. As for whether there were people who died because of this, no one knew.
Fortunately, the patient's condition was very serious and surgery was needed as soon as possible. Old Chief Physician Pan could help Zheng Ren deal with these matters since he was not off work yet. If the surgery was carried out in the dead of night, the legal procedure alone would probably kill the patient.
Sometimes, apart from the doctor's skill, the patient's survival depended on fate.
Old Chief Physician Pan found the patient's phone and dialed it because it was an elderly person.
Old Chief Physician Pan found the number marked as "baby" in the recent call history and dialed it.
"I'm from the emergency department of Sea City General Hospital.
"You're Tang Guoqing's family, right? Please rush to the emergency department of Sea City General Hospital immediately. Your father is suffering from massive abdominal bleeding and needs emergency surgery.
"The patient is already on the operating table. There are some procedures that need to be completed.
"The condition is very serious and there's no guarantee that the emergency treatment will be successful.
Old Chief Physician Pan calmly and objectively explained the situation to the family members, then placed the phone in a clean yellow trash bag for the nurse to seal.
Although they had found the patient's family, they still could not wait for the patient's family to sign the preoperative signature.
Soon, a staff member from the medical administration division arrived at the emergency department. Old Chief Physician Pan dragged him along to record the patient's condition and give him a preoperative briefing before the hospital authorized the emergency department to perform the surgery.
Although Old Chief Physician Pan estimated that the surgery had already begun, such a violation was not a big deal when human lives were at stake.
Ten minutes later, a woman in her mid-twenties hurried over.
She wasn't wearing any shoes, probably because she couldn't run fast in high heels, so she didn't know where to put them.
"Doctor, I am Tang Guoqing's relative. Where is my father? How is he now? What illness did he get? "the woman said anxiously.
There were traces of tears on her fair face, and her makeup was ruined, but she couldn't care less. She grabbed a nurse and asked.
His voice was loud, impatient, and impolite.
The nurse, who had worked in the emergency department for a long time, understood the feelings of the patient's family members at the moment. She did not care and said, "The chief is in his office. Go find him."
The woman followed the nurse's instructions and hurried to Old Chief Physician Pan's office. She knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for a reply.
She was too anxious and her left shoulder hit the door frame, making a loud bang.
Not noticing the pain in her shoulder, the woman hurriedly asked, "Chief, my father …"
She was on the verge of losing her voice. The words squeezed out of her throat were sharp and cold. The last few words disappeared into the air, leaving only the first half of her sentence.
"You are Tang Guoqing's family member, right?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked.
The woman tried to speak but was unable to do so, so she could only nod. Tears rolled down her face as she nodded, and her makeup was a mess.
"Your father was sent to our hospital by the first-aid ambulance. According to the person who called the police, he was walking in Central Park when he hit a tree with his back and collapsed." Old Chief Physician Pan had already grasped all the information he could in a short time. At the very least, he had to let the family understand that this was caused by himself and not a car accident or other external injuries.
"When he came to our hospital, his blood pressure was very low, with a high pressure of 50mmHg and an undetectable low pressure. Therefore, your father has been sent to surgery and is now undergoing emergency treatment. "
Looking at Old Chief Physician Pan's righteous and serious expression, the woman's heart felt empty, and a series of tears fell down her cheeks.
"It's not time to cry yet." Old Chief Physician Pan immediately stopped her and said, "Now, I want to give you a preoperative briefing. Although the surgery has been authorized by our hospital, I still have to tell you what needs to be said."
The woman nodded.
"You are the patient's daughter? Please show me your identification documents, "Old Chief Physician Pan asked.
The woman took out a delicate card bag from her handbag, which contained her ID, work permit, and press pass. Old Chief Physician Pan saw Tang Xiu's name.
"The chief editor of the newspaper." Old Chief Physician Pan nodded and began the preoperative briefing.
Tang Xiu was afraid, and her vision blurred.
When Old Chief Physician Pan began the briefing, Tang Xiu felt that the whole world had become gray.
The patient's condition was extremely serious, and there was only a ten percent chance that he could be saved. Perhaps even this extremely low probability could not be achieved.
Even if he could be saved, the chances of him recovering in the ICU were not high.
Initially, when she saw Wei Feng's article, she was quite supportive of the hospital's decision to start the surgery without the patient's family present.
If she had not changed her mind due to some pressure, Tang Xiu would have published Wei Feng's article to correct this' unhealthy practice 'in the medical industry.
At this moment, Tang Xiu, who was in the hospital, was dumbfounded and her eyes were filled with despair.
"There's still hope because the rescue was done in time. Now, I'll bring you to wait outside the operating room. Inform the other family members to come," Old Chief Physician Pan comforted Tang Xiu.
Timely rescue? Tang Xiu realized that the kind-hearted citizen had not coldly walked past her father. Although he did not help him up, he had called 120.
The doctors of Sea City General Hospital started the rescue without the patient's family.
This undoubtedly shortened the time of blood loss and increased the probability of her father's survival.
Rationally, she told herself that by the time she arrived at the hospital, the patient would have already left.
Although this went against her understanding, but …
At this moment, she had completely forgotten that the patient's family had the right to choose and be informed.
It was absolutely difficult for humans to empathize until they reached a certain point.
The difference between the perspective of the onlookers and the patient's family was beyond Tang Xiu's imagination. It was like two completely different worlds.
Soon, she completely lost the ability to think and followed Old Chief Physician Pan step by step.
When she went to work, her father was still fine. However, the weather was unpredictable. Why did he come to Sea City General Hospital for rescue?
She never knew which would come first, tomorrow or an accident.
She was afraid that when she walked into the operating room, the doctor would come out apologetically and tell her that he had done his best.
She was afraid that she would see the operating table covered with a white cloth and her father's pale, cold face under the white sheet.
She was afraid that she would see her father die in a hurry without even having the chance to say his last words.
She was afraid that she would face the bizarre malice of fate and that her nightmare would come true.
