This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Chapter 46 Presenting the Banner

Zhou Cheng suddenly stopped, startled.

Last Wednesday afternoon?

Should we dispatch ambulances to rescue a person who has fallen into the water?

Isn't that him?

After the patient's heartbeat was restored, he was transferred to the ICU for further treatment.

Although the patient regained a heartbeat and breathing, he did not wake up.

If the brain is deprived of oxygen for too long, it is very likely that the person will not wake up, which is commonly known as becoming a vegetative state.

Zhou Cheng looked up at the doorway, where the middle-aged man was still describing things to the head nurse.

"When the ambulance arrived, my son had already stopped breathing and had no heartbeat."

"Without saying a word, the doctor knelt down and performed CPR!"

"After he was rushed to the hospital and received emergency treatment, it was only through his relentless efforts that a sliver of hope was preserved!"

"He has now woken up and been moved to a regular ward."

After responding to the patient's family, the head nurse began checking the 120 ambulance schedule.

"A young doctor? Calling 120?" The head nurse flipped through the shift schedule, then suddenly looked at Zhou Cheng. "Hey, Zhou Cheng, wasn't it you who called 120 last Wednesday afternoon to save a young man who fell into the water?"

All of Zhou Cheng's colleagues turned to look at him, their eyes filled with surprise.

Zhou Cheng put down his pen and nodded.

"That's him! That's the doctor!"

The middle-aged man recognized Zhou Cheng at a glance, rushed over, and grabbed his hand tightly, so tightly that Zhou Cheng felt a little pain.

"Doctor, I've finally found you!"

"My son can walk now, and he specifically asked me to come and thank you today. Without you, our family would have collapsed!"

The middle-aged woman behind the man quickly stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Cheng, saying, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you for saving my son."

Zhou Cheng was somewhat taken aback by this sudden enthusiasm.

This was the first time he had received a banner of appreciation after working for so long.

He had always seen senior doctors receive banners of appreciation; he had never encountered such a situation before.

He quickly helped the middle-aged man up, saying, "Uncle, please don't do this. I was just doing my job. Any other doctor would have done the same."

"It's different, it's different!" The middle-aged man shoved the banner into Zhou Cheng's hands, his eyes reddening. "So many people around me advised me to give up, but you insisted on saving him!"

"In our neighborhood, a child fell into the reservoir before, and they couldn't be saved!"

As Zhou Cheng held the heavy banner in his hands, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

Wasn't this the very reason he chose to study medicine in the first place?

However, the harsh reality extinguished his initial ideals.

He handed the banner to the head nurse and said with a smile, "Head nurse, please hang this banner at the nurses' station. The rescue of the patient was not my achievement alone. Zhao Wenqi, who was with me on the 120 emergency call, also helped a lot, as did my colleagues in the emergency room. It was the result of everyone's hard work."

The head nurse accepted the banner and nodded approvingly: "Okay, I'll do as you say. Hang it in the most conspicuous place at the nurses' station so everyone can see it! I'll take a picture of you later."

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was unwilling to accept the banner alone, the middle-aged man did not insist further. "Dr. Zhou, I will come to thank you again when my son has fully recovered."

"No need," Zhou Cheng quickly refused. "He's just recovered from a serious illness; he should rest at home."

"No, you are like a second parent to him. He must come to thank you in person!"

Afterwards, he held Zhou Cheng's hand and said several more words of thanks before leaving with his wife.

Before leaving, they insisted on giving Zhou Cheng some fruit. Zhou Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it and then distributed it to his colleagues in the department.

……

Back to the doctor's office.

Fang Hang sidled up to Zhou Cheng, his face full of admiration: "Junior brother, you're amazing! You pulled the drowning person back from the brink of death."

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. Any other doctor would have persevered. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Fang Hang shook his head: "I just heard that you did CPR for almost half an hour. That's not something an ordinary person can endure."

He has spent a lot of time in the clinic these days and has also rescued critically ill patients. He knows that the standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure is very tiring.

Hearing the commotion, Li Degang came over and patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't be modest. I know this patient. Although the subsequent treatment in the ICU is very important, if it weren't for your pre-hospital emergency care, he definitely wouldn't have made it to the emergency department!"

The head nurse chuckled and chimed in, "These days, very few people who fall into the water and suffer cardiac arrest for such a long time can be brought back to life. Dr. Zhou, you were truly amazing this time."

As she spoke, the head nurse sent the photo of Zhou Cheng and the patient's family holding the banner to the hospital's middle-level leadership group.

The post also included the caption, "A miracle of life! A patient who had been in cardiac arrest for over half an hour was successfully revived! Emergency Department Dr. Zhou Cheng performed CPR for half an hour, successfully pulling a man who had been in cardiac arrest for half an hour after falling into the water back from the brink of death!"

……

The news and photos of Zhao Chunmei, the head nurse of the emergency department, were sent to the hospital's mid-level leadership group, and the group immediately exploded with excitement.

The department directors and head nurses all gave their praise and expressed their admiration.

"Our hospital's emergency department is truly full of hidden talents! They can even save such critically ill patients!"

"That young man in the ER is amazing! He performed CPR for half an hour!"

"The emergency department's emergency care skills can finally be something to brag about!"

At this moment, messages from Hospital Director Wang Xiangdong kept popping up in the hospital's mid-level management group.

"Head Nurse Zhao, this case is so typical! It comes at a crucial stage in our hospital's tertiary hospital review process. This kind of story, which demonstrates our hospital's emergency care capabilities and highlights harmonious doctor-patient relationships, must be prominently publicized!"

"Please immediately compile a detailed account of this case, including the time the patient fell into the water, the duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the subsequent treatment process, the patient's recovery status, and Dr. Zhou Cheng's basic information."

"I'll have my colleagues in the publicity department contact you immediately. We'll arrange for media reporters to come and conduct interviews tomorrow. We'll not only publish articles in local newspapers and on television, but also simultaneously promote our hospital's medical technology and medical ethics on its official WeChat account and video channel!"

Upon seeing the message, Zhao Chunmei immediately replied, "Okay, Dean Wang! I'll organize the materials right now, making sure all the details are clear and that no crucial information is missed!"

After putting down her phone, Zhao Chunmei quickly walked to the doctor's office door and called out with a smile, "Zhou Cheng, come here for a moment!"

Zhou Cheng was taken aback: "Head Nurse, what's wrong?"

"Great news!" Head Nurse Zhao Chunmei's eyes were full of smiles. "I posted about your rescue of the patient who fell into the water in the middle-level leadership group. Dean Wang took it very seriously after seeing it, saying it's excellent publicity material for our Grade III Class A hospital review. He'll have the publicity department come over to interview you tomorrow, and he's also looking for media coverage!"

"An interview?" Zhou Cheng quickly waved his hand. "Head Nurse, is there any need to make such a fuss? I just did what I was supposed to do; there's no need to publicize it."

I was just thinking of keeping a low profile, and now the hospital is going to give me a big publicity boost. Who can I complain to?!
