Late.
Outside the hospital.
In the second ambulance.
"Hurry up and get on the ambulance."
"Be careful with your legs."
"Lie down. We need an IV drip."
Yao Cui and the paramedics helped Dong Xuebing onto the ambulance. He had said he does not want to lie down, but everyone persuaded him to do so. Dong Xuebing felt pain in his arm, and a nurse inserted a needle into his arm. Another nurse also helped him bandage the wound on his leg. The bandage was only temporary, and Dong Xuebing still needs to disinfect the wound. Some of the wounds still need to be stitched up. These can only be done after they reach the hospital.
Only Yao Cui and a County Government staff boarded the ambulance. Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang were not around, and Dong Xuebing did not see them.
The ambulance doors closed.
The ambulance was ready to drive off.
Yao Cui helped Dong Xuebing wipe the blood off his face.
Dong Xuebing smiled at her and closed his eyes to take a nap. He is tired.
One second …
Two seconds …
Three seconds …
A paramedic at the back of the ambulance asked the ambulance driver. "Old Zhao? Why are you not driving? "
The ambulance driver looked to the side. "That Doctor Wang is signaling us to wait."
"Huh? What are they waiting for? " The nurse was stunned and noticed something was wrong. "It's been half a day. Why are they not leaving?"
The ambulance doctor frowned. "That patient's injury is more serious. His abdomen is almost pierced through. He should be sent to the emergency room for surgery. It's been two to three minutes since he was rescued. Why are they not leaving? After the blood transfusion, they started to fix the patient on the stretcher. Why are they still not fixed? Why are they taking so long? "Blood transfusion, IV drip, and fixing the patient should be done within a minute.
The nurse asked. "Did something happen?"
The ambulance doctor replied. "Go down and ask them. Why are they asking us to wait? We are also carrying a patient, and we cannot wait any longer. "
The nurse nodded. "Ok. I will go and take a look."
The ambulance doctor said. "Tell them that we will leave first."
The nurse alighted from the ambulance and walked over to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing also opened his eyes. "Xiao Yao, go and take a look and ask them what happened."
Yao Cui hesitated for a moment before she nodded and followed the nurse down the stairs.
But after a few seconds, the nurse who went out trotted back and immediately said, "Doctor Qian, Doctor Wang wants you to go over."
The doctor asked, "What's wrong?"
The nurse said, "Then the injured won't be able to make it!"
The doctor immediately instructed another nurse to take care of Dong Xuebing and left the ambulance.
But when Dong Xuebing heard this, he immediately sat up and was about to alight from the car.
"What are you doing!" The nurse hurriedly pulled him back.
"Help me hold the IV drip." Dong Xuebing passed the IV drip to her.
"You can't move! Ouch!" Seeing Dong Xuebing had left, the nurse had no choice but to follow behind him. She was afraid she might pull out the needle from his hand.
Outside.
Not far away.
The other ambulance was already surrounded by people.
Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, Chu Peng, and the others were all there. Many of the commoners in the surroundings had not dispersed and were still standing outside.
Everyone's expression did not look too good.
"Big Sister Zeng was fine just now!"
"Why can't she? Why is she dying suddenly?! "
Chu Peng and the two wives of the County's Party Committee members were furious.
"Madam Zeng's injuries are too serious. If she had been rescued when she was discovered, there is still hope. But too much time has passed, and she was pressed down by the stone slabs for a long time. Even if the slabs did not hit her completely, her injuries had worsened. Now, Madam Zeng's blood pressure is below 40, and the nearby ambulance station does not have the necessary equipment. We can only go to the County Hospital, but it will take at least half an hour from here to the hospital and then to the operating theater. Madam Zeng can't hold on for that long!"
Chu Peng shouted. "You are saying Ling Hua can't be saved?"
Meng Rui was also furious. "You all better think of a way! We must save her! "
The commoners' hearts sank. Mayor Dong had risked his life to save Madam Zeng, but she still can't make it? She is still going to die?
Jiang Fangfang asked. "How much longer can she hold on?"
Doctor Wang replied. "At most ten minutes! That's why we did not drive! Any bump on the slope could very well cost Madam Zeng's life! "
Doctor Qian said, "Her organs are failing?"
"There are signs. Her vital signs are plummeting!" Doctor Wang said.
Pu An said anxiously, "Then what do we do now? How can we save her? "
Doctor Wang and Doctor Qian quickly communicated for a while before saying, "The biggest problem now is the steel bar in Madam Zeng's abdomen. We need to remove it, disinfect it, and suture the wound. I have already contacted the County Hospital, and they are rushing over, but there is not enough time!"
Meng Rui said, "You guys perform the surgery!"
Jiang Fangfang also said, "Do the surgery here!"
Doctor Wang said, "There are not many surgeons in the County Hospital to begin with. With so many people injured today, everyone is performing surgery in the County Hospital, so those who perform the emergency treatment are basically from other departments. I am an orthopedic doctor."
Doctor Qian also said, "I am a cardiologist."
Chu Peng said angrily, "You guys don't know how?"
Doctor Qian said, "I can perform interventional cardiology, but … we can't perform suture surgeries. We are not in the same profession."
Jian Xiangrong said, "Isn't it just suturing? What's the difference? Isn't it too late now? Why don't you give it a try! You can't just let her wait for death! "
Doctor Wang said, "We really can't do it. It's not the same concept at all. Suturing organs and suturing blood vessels requires different sutures for every organ, and there are also differences in suturing methods. Both require superb surgical experience and skills. Most surgeons won't be able to do it. Madam Zeng's injury is so serious, so we need an experienced surgeon to be able to do it. There can't be any mistakes, and they also need to be extremely fast. Doctor Qian and I are not surgeons, so we can't do it, nor can we try. As long as this steel bar is pulled out, if the wound is not sutured and the bleeding stopped within two minutes, Madam Zeng will be in even more danger."
Meng Rui's face darkened. "So you are saying that there is no other way?"
Doctor Wang said, "The roads in our County Hospital are not easy to travel on, and there are many potholes. It is impossible to drive to the hospital, and any mishap could worsen Madam Zeng's condition. We can only hope that Madam Zeng can hold on for a little longer, and wait for our hospital's specialist to arrive."
"How long will they take?"
"They are already on the way. It will take at least half an hour."
"You said that Linghua can't hold on for more than ten minutes? How can they wait for half an hour?! "
Doctor Wang did not say anything. He knows there is no hope of Ceng Linghua being able to be saved.
Doctor Qian boarded the ambulance and checked on Ceng Linghua's wound, blood pressure, and heartbeat. His conclusion is about the same as Doctor Wang. "We are too late. If we had found her earlier, even 20 minutes earlier … sigh …"
"Give her another injection!" Doctor Wang ordered the nurse.
Doctor Qian asked. "How many injections? More injections? Can the patient take it? "
Doctor Wang replied. "Now, it is not a question of whether she can take it or not. It is a question of how long she can hold on."
Doctor Qian sighed and did not say anything. He looked at the nurse inserting the needle into Ceng Linghua's wound. Ceng Linghua's body twitched, and her blood pressure and heartbeat returned to normal. But this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Medication will not solve the problem now!
Ceng Linghua's face is pale, and there is no sign of life!
Jiang Fangfang turned to her secretary. "Drive to Ying County Hospital's specialist and pick them up. Drive Mayor Dong's car over. His car is faster!"
Meng Rui asked. "Can we make it in time?"
Jiang Fangfang replied. "Let's make it as soon as possible."
Li Xiaona nodded and went to Yao Cui to get the keys.
The keys are with Yao Cui, and she gave them to Dong Xuebing without hesitation.
Li Xiaona also got into the Land Rover and rushed out of the quarters with two county government workers. She stepped on the gas pedal to the maximum.
But even a Land Rover cannot make a round trip within 10 minutes!
A car is still a car, and no matter how fast it is, it will not be faster than a plane. Everyone knows Madam Zeng is doomed!
At this moment, in the ambulance, the nurse who was beside the unconscious Ceng Linghua suddenly shouted, "Blood pressure thirty-five! Heart rate 40 … 35 … 30! She can't hold on any longer! "
Doctor Wang's face changed. "Oh no!"
The two doctors in the ambulance immediately start resuscitation.
"Blood pressure 33! It's still going down! "The nurse exclaimed.
Ceng Linghua can't hold on any longer! Even 10 minutes is an extravagant hope!
Chu Peng's eyes turned red and shouted. "Linghua! You must hold on! "
Cheng Fuguang replied. "Give her an injection! Give her another injection! "
Doctor Qian replied anxiously. "We had given her too many injections! This won't do! If we give her another injection, she will not be able to hold on! She might die on the spot … "
Everyone was in despair!
Dong Xuebing, who was at the back, had already squeezed out from the crowd.
"Mayor Dong?"
"Why are you here?"
"Hurry up and get on the ambulance! You are also seriously injured! "
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and walked past Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, and the rest of the County's leaders. He pulled the two doctors aside and went over to check Ceng Linghua's blood pressure and heartbeat. After that, he pressed his knuckles on Ceng Linghua's acupoints!
The two doctors in the ambulance were stunned. "Mayor Dong, what are you doing?"
The rest also did not know what Dong Xuebing was doing. But the next moment, the nurse looked at the blood pressure reading on the monitor and exclaimed. "35! 40! 45! Her blood pressure is going up! "
The other nurse was also shocked. "Her heartbeat is also 50!"
