Han Yunxi's questions not only stunned the man, but all the men present.
No matter how liberal Cloud Realm Continent was, it was still a society where men were superior to women. In everyone's minds, men had the right to choose, while women's fates were decided by men.
Of the women present, some were shocked, some were filled with admiration, but there were also those who found it incomprehensible.
A female doctor suddenly laughed out loud. "Han Yunxi, are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid? Ask any of the mothers here who've given birth before! Ask them what they'd choose. If you keep delaying, you won't be able to bear the consequences! "
What mother would sacrifice her child for her own sake?
"Of course it's to save the child! Do you even need to ask? "
"That's right, this is simply a waste of time! If you can't even save the child, you'll all be committing a sin! "
"Han Yunxi, you can't be so selfish!"
… …
Despite the protests, Han Yunxi remained leaning against the door. Cold as she stared at the troublemaker, she clarified, "Stop trying to confuse the public. This wangfei is letting the pregnant woman choose to believe Gu Beiyue or you guys. I don't have the right to make her choose between saving the mother and the child. "
If there was a choice, what mother would be willing to abandon her newborn child?
The female doctor was at a loss for words. She shot looks at the other department heads as the man began to stammer at Han Yunxi. "I, I, I'm her husband. I … I don't need you to tell me which doctor I want to believe! You, who do you think you are? Don't think too highly of yourself! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the medical assistant suddenly rushed out, drawing everyone's attention. Even the man grew nervous.
The assistant was so anxious that he couldn't catch his breath. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "The pregnant woman says she trusts Doctor Gu, trusts Doctor Gu! The other doctors don't need to go in … "
At this, Han Yunxi glared fiercely at the man, causing his rage to wilt under her glare.
The medical assistant continued, "Master Ren, Doctor Gu requests for you to quickly invite the Fourth Miss of the Ren family over. He needs her help with the delivery."
There were several top female obstetricians present. Gu Beiyue actually wanted to look for the fourth daughter of the Ren family?
Everyone was astonished, and Patriarch Ren was even more surprised. The Fourth Miss of the Ren family was his legitimate daughter. She had been studying medicine since she was a child and had only started to specialize in obstetrics a few years ago. She was incomparable to the experienced female doctors present!
"Who are they?" Han Yunxi asked Gu in a low voice.
"She's the daughter that Patriarch Ren dotes on the most. I'm not sure about her medical skills. Haha, Gu Beiyue picked an interesting person, "Gu said with a smile.
Fourth Young Mistress Ren's participation would have a huge impact on the decisions of the referees.
Although there were many complaints about Gu Beiyue picking Fourth Young Mistress Ren to help, they didn't say it out loud for the sake of Patriarch Ren.
Patriarch Ren didn't think highly of Gu Beiyue and didn't want his daughter to get involved in this mess. He was about to refuse when Fourth Young Mistress Ren appeared in the crowd.
"I'm here! I'm here! The situation is urgent. If the baby isn't born soon, it will be dangerous! "She pushed through the crowd and was about to enter the house.
"Stop!" Patriarch Ren said sternly, "The seniors in the obstetrics department are all here. Why aren't you greeting them?"
Patriarch Ren's words were reserved, but Fourth Young Mistress Ren said anxiously, "Father, it's a matter of life and death! Let's greet them later. "
Patriarch Ren grabbed her hand and winked at her.
Han Yunxi looked at Fourth Young Mistress Ren seriously. She was in her early twenties and looked delicate and pretty.
"You know that it's a matter of life and death. You can't handle it. You're not allowed to go!" Patriarch Ren finally got angry.
"Father, I can handle it! Doctor Gu is the attending physician. He has the right to choose the assistants. "Fourth Young Mistress Ren shook her hand vigorously, but she couldn't get rid of his grip.
Han Yunxi gave her a look, and Xu Donglin suddenly grabbed Patriarch Ren's wrist. Han Yunxi personally pushed the door open and let Fourth Young Mistress Ren in.
As soon as she entered, she leaned against the door to block her.
"Han Yunxi!" Patriarch Ren was furious. Xu Donglin drew his sword and stood in front of Han Yunxi. Gu was still standing on Deputy Lin. He stood at the side door, allowing only the servant girls to bring in hot water.
"You!"
Deputy Huo angrily pointed at Han Yunxi. "You! Very good! Han Yunxi, Old Man is telling you, if Gu Beiyue fails, don't even think about taking half a step out of this courtyard! "
"If Gu Beiyue fails, I … I'll make you pay with your life!" The man also warned.
Everyone waited nervously. News of what happened here had already spread outside the Apricot Grove and quickly spread throughout Medical City.
The medical skills competition had already been forgotten. The pregnant woman had become the focus of the entire city. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the result. Would she live? Would she die? How many lives? How many deaths?
If Gu Beiyue succeeded, he wouldn't necessarily be successful. What awaited him was the temporary suspension of the medical skills competition.
If Gu Beiyue failed, he would become the target of public criticism. Not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also be denounced and criticized by the entire city. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao's group would be labeled as accomplices as well. All the effort they had put into coming to Medical City would be for naught.
Han Yunxi leaned against the door, facing the countless disdainful and angry gazes in the courtyard. Her expression was calm, and her bright eyes were filled with determination.
However, she heard an incomparably tense conversation. The delivery room was like a fierce battlefield. The midwife and Fourth Young Miss Ren were doing their best.
"No, no, I can see the baby's foot. It's about to come out!" the midwife shouted.
"Block it! You must block it! Everyone, come and help! "Fourth Young Miss Ren shouted.
In the case of an upside-down delivery, one foot or both feet, one knee or both knees, or one foot or one knee would be exposed first. This situation was accompanied by the possibility of the umbilical cord slipping out of the space next to the fetus' foot at any time, causing umbilical cord prolapse.
The umbilical cord was the life of the fetus, supplying blood and oxygen. Once it fell, it would cause acute hypoxia. If it lasted for more than seven minutes, the fetus would die in the womb.
Therefore, when the foot came out first, the method of "blocking the buttocks" was necessary to prevent the fetus' foot from coming out. The buttocks had to be blocked until the fetus' buttocks fell into the pelvic cavity and the uterus was opened. Only then would the mother be able to give birth in a complete breech delivery.
Blocking the buttocks was the key to this battle!
The mother's energy was the only force that could sustain this battle!
The mother had to race against time.
In the silence, the man suddenly shouted, "How is it now? At least let me know what the situation is now! "
"The foot came out first. It's being blocked," Han Yunxi replied calmly.
"It's been so long since the water broke. No, it's too dangerous! Gu Beiyue, it's not just one child, it's four! You don't have that much time! "the female doctor shouted angrily.
"Shut up! Whoever disturbs him will be responsible! " Han Yunxi's voice was even louder than hers. Everyone looked at each other in shock. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Han Yunxi's heart was pounding wildly. She wasn't worried about the consequences, but about the lives! Five lives! One had to know that she was also born upside-down. Madam Tianxin had died in childbirth.
She didn't know how skilled Gu Beiyue was, especially in the field of obstetrics.
However, she chose to believe him resolutely.
Gu Beiyue had never disappointed her before. This time, she must not let him down either.
Behind them, the midwife and Fourth Young Mistress Ren were talking non-stop. However, Gu Beiyue didn't say a word. What was he doing?
In the silence, the midwife's cries could be heard from the other side of the door. "I can't block it anymore, I can't block it anymore!"
At this moment, Han Yunxi's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
However, a gentle but powerful voice calmed her down instantly. It also calmed the nervous midwife and Fourth Young Mistress Ren.
Gu Beiyue said, "Fourth Young Mistress Ren, insert a fine silk needle into the heart of the child's foot. Insert the needle one to two inches, three to four times. "
"Okay!" Fourth Young Mistress Ren was completely obedient to Gu Beiyue. She immediately did as she was told.
Soon, a miracle happened. The fetus' foot was pierced by the needle. It shrank back in fear and turned around immediately. Its head fell off first.
"Wah …"
A clear cry broke the almost frozen air. Whether it was inside or outside the room, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if they had been suffocating for a long time and were finally able to breathe fresh air.
The people outside the room didn't know what was going on inside the room. Han Yunxi leaned against the door and heard everything clearly.
The mother still had the strength to speak, so the situation wasn't too bad.
"The second one is out too. Hurry, it's the head position. The head is at the bottom!" The midwife was overjoyed.
"Mother, let's do it again. Take a deep breath and push harder. Cooperate with me. When I say push harder, push harder … We have to hurry." Fourth Young Mistress Ren was still a little anxious.
The first child was very difficult. However, after the uterus was opened, the next three children came out very smoothly and quickly.
The continuous crying made it difficult for the people outside to hear clearly how many children were crying.
Anyway, when they heard the crying, most of them were relieved. At least the father of the children was smiling. However, Han Yunxi still stood motionless. She knew that the mother hadn't passed the critical stage yet.
Perhaps the wound was too big and the bleeding couldn't be stopped. There was also a very scary symptom called amniotic fluid embolism. During the delivery process, the amniotic fluid suddenly entered the mother's blood circulation. It would cause respiratory failure, bleeding all over the body, and damage to multiple organs.
This disease could occur before, during, and after delivery. Once the disease broke out, the mortality rate was as high as 80%.
The crying of the children became louder and louder. The father became more and more excited. He rushed to the door. "How many children did you save? Did you save all of them? I want to see my children! Bring the children out quickly! "
Han Yunxi looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.
After a while, the midwife and maidservants carried out the cleaned children. For a moment, everyone looked over. The four children, two boys and two girls, were all safe. They didn't know if it was because they couldn't find their mother's breath, but they were all crying loudly.
"It's good that you saved them, good!"
"Two boys and two girls, congratulations! Congratulations! "
"Finally, there's no danger! Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless! "
"Doctor Gu is really something. I didn't expect Fourth Young Mistress Ren to be so capable. Haha, Master Ren, you're not being kind by hiding such a daughter. Are you afraid that you can't keep her when the matchmaker comes looking for you? Haha! "
In the midst of the celebration, the mother was forgotten.
Han Yunxi looked at everyone coldly, waiting and praying …
