There was a special treatment room in the Apricot Forest.
In the secluded forest, there were individual courtyards lined up in a row. The distance between each courtyard was about ten steps.
The four patients had been arranged to enter the treatment room. The three department heads and Gu Beiyue were also present.
A medical assistant was arranged in each treatment room to announce the progress of the treatment. Because it was a competition, whether it was the patient's condition or the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, as long as there was progress, it must be announced.
The situation of the four cases had already been spread out. Outside the Apricot Forest, the whole Medical City was paying attention to this matter. At this moment, they were most concerned about the pregnant woman in Gu Beiyue's hands.
In the Apricot Forest, the three department heads' courtyards were empty. Gu Beiyue's courtyard was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The courtyard was full of seats, and there wasn't even a place to stand.
Everyone would rather crowd outside the courtyard than go to the other three courtyards. Even the referees were personally guarding outside Gu Beiyue's door.
This case was essentially a case of emergency treatment!
Han Yunxi and Gu sat behind the referees. Looking at the maidservants who were carrying hot water in and out, and listening to the cries of pain from time to time, Han Yunxi couldn't wait to rush in and help. Gu was rarely so serious and didn't smile.
Family Head Xiao squeezed for a long time and finally squeezed behind Han Yunxi. He whispered, "Princess Consort, don't worry. Imperial Physician Gu will definitely be able to do it."
Han Yunxi recognized that it was Family Head Xiao. She turned around and glared at him fiercely. Without saying a word, she turned her head back.
The Xiao family of the south central region was so snobbish. She would remember this!
Gu Beiyue had been in for two hours, and the pregnant woman had also been in pain for two hours. So far, the medical assistant hadn't come out. Han Yunxi knew that the pregnant woman's water hadn't broken yet.
To give birth to the child, the water had to break first. If the amniotic fluid didn't break, the pain would continue. Once it was delayed, the pregnant woman would only be tortured until she had no strength and become mentally fragile.
Gu Beiyue and the midwife should understand this, so they would definitely comfort the pregnant woman to stay calm and not waste her energy by crying.
However, the pregnant woman was still crying. Either Gu Beiyue and the others could not stabilize the pregnant woman, or the pregnant woman was in too much pain.
If it was any other matter, no news was good news. But for this matter, no news was bad news!
Another two hours passed, and the discussions in the courtyard grew more and more intense. Han Yunxi's heart was in a mess. In modern times, there were artificial methods to break the water. But now, what could Gu Beiyue do?
She did not dare to imagine that if the pregnant woman continued to be in pain, would she eventually die in the delivery room due to exhaustion?
Suddenly, the medical assistant came out from the side door.
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
"Doctor Gu diagnosed that the pregnant woman is pregnant with quadruplets and her water hasn't broken yet."
Quadruplets …
"It's over, it's over. It's either the adults or the children!"
"If we can only protect one side, then why would we need Gu Beiyue? The midwife would be enough! "
"This … the water hasn't broken yet. We don't know the fetal position. If we can't fix the adults, we won't be able to save the children!"
… …
The sound of discussion gradually rose. At this moment, many people had forgotten that this was a competition and treated it as a rescue that concerned their lives.
Suddenly, the screams in the room stopped abruptly.
What was going on?
The medical assistant rushed in and came out with a development. "Imperial Physician Gu used acupuncture to relieve pain during labor to reduce the pregnant woman's pain."
Hearing this, Han Yunxi's heart calmed down a little. Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. The pregnant woman did not cry out in pain. At least she could conserve her energy. Giving birth after the water broke required a lot of energy.
"Using acupuncture to relieve pain? Haha, wonderful, wonderful! Gu Beiyue thought of this! "Someone in the judging panel praised.
Han Yunxi laughed. This method was called painless labor in modern times and required medication. She did not expect Gu Beiyue to be able to do it with a few needles. He was really amazing! It was also thanks to him that he thought of it and figured it out!
Inside the room, a piece of black cloth hung over the pregnant woman's body, dividing her into two and blocking the awkwardness. The midwife guarded the lower body while Gu Beiyue sat behind the pregnant woman's head. He was concentrating on her acupuncture.
The pregnant woman's face was pale and she was drenched in sweat. She was extremely tired, but she still opened her eyes slightly and looked at the gentle man in front of her. It was as if she could see safety and hope when she looked at him.
She did not know if it was his hands or his needles that had magical powers, but she did not feel any pain at all.
Gu Beiyue quickly realized that the pregnant woman was looking at him. His expression did not change and he was calm. However, the words that came out of his mouth were not gentle at all. Instead, they were very serious. "If you want to save each child, immediately close your eyes and rest. This is your responsibility."
The pregnant woman was so shocked that she immediately closed her eyes. Gu Beiyue then continued with the acupuncture. He casually ordered, "Go make a bowl of rooster soup and add some ginseng."
The room calmed down as the pregnant woman fell silent.
However, outside the room, everyone was still waiting anxiously.
Soon, the medical assistant came to report that the pregnant woman's water finally broke. The midwife was delivering the baby and Imperial Physician Gu was still performing acupuncture to relieve the pregnant woman's pain and promote the dilation of the uterus.
Finally, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, no one expected that after the news of the water breaking, there was still no news of the baby being born.
One day and one night was the limit. If the amniotic fluid ran out or the amniotic fluid was contaminated, the baby would be in danger! Under such medical conditions, there was no way to save the child!
Everyone's hearts were in a knot. At this moment, the medical assistant came with bad news. "The first child is born upside down! She still can't give birth. It's really a difficult labor! "
Upside down meant that the baby's feet came out first.
The entire room was silent.
Patriarch Ren stood up abruptly and asked in shock, "What can Gu Beiyue do? What do you plan to do? "
In this situation, if the baby could not be born, then they could only choose to save the mother or the child. If they wanted to save the child, they would disregard the mother's wound and expand the uterus to carry the child out directly. The mother would definitely die from excessive blood loss. If they wanted to save the mother, it would be rather cruel. They would cut the child into pieces.
Before the medical assistant could answer, the pregnant woman's husband rushed out from the side hall and knelt in front of the judges. "We want to change the doctor! We want to change the doctor! "
The medical college had naturally communicated with the patient's family members to choose these cases for the Medical Skills Competition and obtained their consent. However, now that it was a matter of life and death, the family members were more willing to trust the deputy director and the rest.
If they did not participate in the medical skills competition, even if they wanted to save the baby, they would not be able to find the deputy director of the medical college. A seventh-grade medical sage would at most be able to find a fifth-grade or fifth-grade doctor.
However, in such a big event, they would naturally ask for the best doctor.
The judges were also hesitant. If it was another seventh-grade doctor, they might still have a chance. However, if they were to hand it over to Gu Beiyue, a fifth-grade divine doctor, the consequences would be unpredictable.
What should they do?
After an emergency discussion among the judges, Patriarch Ren ordered someone to summon the three deputy directors and the obstetrics specialists from the medical college. The medical skills competition was suspended and the consultation was to focus on saving the baby.
Han Yunxi's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Her only consolation was that the medical college was humane and at least knew to prioritize saving the baby.
The three deputy directors and a few female doctors entered the delivery room to understand the situation. After a discussion, they all came out. They had no other choice but to give the same answer: save the mother or save the baby.
The man collapsed on the ground in despair. This was probably the most painful choice in life.
"Please make a decision as soon as possible. If you don't make a decision soon, we won't be able to save the baby," Deputy Director Lin urged.
"What did Doctor Gu say?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
Did Gu Beiyue participate in their consultation? Was he still performing the acupuncture? What did he think?
"What else can Doctor Gu do other than relieve the pain?" Deputy Director Lin sneered.
When they went in just now, not only did Gu Beiyue ignore them, he even asked them to come out. At this time, they were too lazy to argue with Gu Beiyue. They just let him perform the acupuncture and they did their own consultation.
"Save the mother or save the baby? Hurry up and make a decision!" Deputy Director Ouyang urged.
The man's eyes were red from crying. In the end, he had no choice but to make a decision. "Save the baby!"
This was a quadruplet. If he saved the baby, he might be able to save all four children. If he saved the mother, only one would be left.
"My condolences!"
A female doctor sighed helplessly and turned to enter the room. Unexpectedly, the medical assistant came out to stop her. "Wait, Doctor Gu said that he can keep the mother and child safe. Please calm down."
The female doctor was stunned at first, then she frowned. "Is Gu Beiyue crazy? Where does he get the ability to keep the mother and child safe? This is simply a fool's dream! "
"That's what Doctor Gu said. He asked me to stand guard at the door. Other than changing the water, no one is allowed to disturb them," the medical assistant said seriously.
"Nonsense! This is absolute nonsense! If it's a matter of life and death, he can't be allowed to act recklessly! A mere fifth-rank divine doctor, and one who's not even an obstetrician, where does he get his confidence from? "
Deputy Director Lin was furious. He strode over and pushed the medical assistant aside. Just as he was about to kick the door open, his leg was viciously kicked away. He lost his footing and fell flat on his back.
Gu stepped on Deputy Director Lin's chest and looked up at the crowd with a smile. "If anyone dares to force their way in, I guarantee that they'll die first outside the room!"
"Gu! How dare you! "Deputy Director Huo roared.
"Guards, take this audacious madman away!" Deputy Director Ouyang urgently called for his men.
Unfortunately, none of the guards dared to step forward. Gu was stepping on Deputy Director Lin's chest and his life.
Perhaps they didn't know Gu well, but they all knew Gu Qi Sha. No one doubted his ruthlessness.
The two deputy directors and the panel of judges all looked at Han Yunxi. Even the female doctors looked over and tried to persuade her.
"Qin Wangfei, if this drags on any longer, we'll really die! We've seen this kind of thing too many times. If there was a way, would Doctor Gu even have a chance? Besides, has Doctor Gu never delivered a child before? Isn't that right? "
"Esteemed Wangfei, please advise him. Doctor Gu can't do this. He can't use other people's lives as an experiment! "
"The situation is so urgent. Esteemed Wangfei, are you really going to watch these people die?"
… …
Han Yunxi ignored them. She walked over and leaned against the door with her arms crossed.
At this moment, the despairing man suddenly pounced on Gu and roared like a madman. "Get out of my way! You're killing people! Are you going to kill my child? Gu Beiyue, get out here! I don't believe you, I don't believe you! I want the child! The child … "
There was still no response from inside the room.
After being pushed aside by Gu, the man pounced on Han Yunxi. Fortunately, Gu blocked him.
"Han Yunxi, what right do you have to stand in my way? You want to experiment on my wife and child, don't you?" the man asked angrily.
"What right do you have to choose between the mother and the child? Your wife is still conscious, so she's the only one who has the right to choose! Her life is her own, and she carried the child with great difficulty for ten months! "
Han Yunxi's words intimidated the man. She immediately sent a medical assistant in to inquire about the pregnant woman's choice.
