This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

That afternoon.

Zhou Cheng continued to drive with Zhao Wenqi.

Without receiving an official dismissal notice from the hospital, Zhou Cheng cannot leave the hospital for the time being.

Although the afternoon's driving trip still left him very tired, Zhou Cheng's mood was noticeably better.

At this moment, the two were sitting face to face in the back of the ambulance.

Zhao Wenqi asked curiously, "Dr. Zhou, what's wrong? You seem so happy?"

Zhao Wenqi knew about the female patient's complaint against Zhou Cheng that morning.

She thought Zhou Cheng would be depressed in the afternoon, but now it seems he is completely unaffected!

On the contrary, the smile on Zhou Cheng's face was not forced, but genuine.

"I just heard that the two patients from the car accident this morning are out of danger," Zhou Cheng replied dismissively with a laugh.

He couldn't tell the truth, of course, because he was about to be fired, so he was probably very happy.

Zhao Wenqi was slightly taken aback; she sensed that Zhou Cheng was different from the other doctors.

The other two young doctors who had just joined the department were not as quick to treat patients as Zhou Cheng, and they might be even more flustered than her when faced with critically ill patients.

Only Zhou Cheng was able to calmly handle all the patients he encountered today.

His ability to stick to his principles even when faced with unreasonable patients is truly admirable.

Although Zhou Cheng's refusal to apologize was incomprehensible to everyone, it did not diminish their admiration for him.

……

Half an hour later, the emergency center received another call.

"Someone has drowned in a suburban reservoir!"

Upon receiving the notification, the ambulance immediately set off with its siren on.

As night deepened, the streetlights outside the car window rushed past.

Zhou Cheng unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip, his mind reviewing first aid measures for drowning victims.

Especially for those experiencing cardiac arrest, the golden rescue time is only 5 minutes.

Every second is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for carelessness.

Twenty minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the reservoir on the outskirts of the city.

A large crowd had already gathered on the shore, and several police officers were trying to restrain the emotionally distraught family members.

One middle-aged woman even collapsed to the ground, weeping.

On the open ground by the reservoir, a young man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt lay on the ground, his face as pale as paper and his lips purple.

Zhou Cheng and Zhao Wenqi rushed over immediately.

Seeing this, the police officers made way for the two men to approach the drowning young man.

One of the police officers stepped forward and said, "He's been drowning for about ten minutes."

Zhou Cheng nodded, quickly knelt down next to the young man, and placed his fingers on his carotid artery.

Oops!

No pulse!

Zhou Cheng leaned down again to listen to his breathing.

His chest was not rising or falling; his heart had undoubtedly stopped!

"Sister Zhao, the patient has suffered cardiac arrest! Start CPR immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly unbuttoned the young man's short sleeve, placed his palms together at the midpoint between the young man's nipples, and began to press.

"1, 2, 3... 30!"

按压深度严格保持在5-6厘米，频率稳定在每分钟120次，每按压30次配合人工呼吸2次。

Zhao Wenqi first connected the defibrillator to the young man, and then worked with Zhou Cheng to perform artificial respiration.

She opened the airway by tilting her head back and lifting her chin, pinched the young man's nose, and blew air into his mouth twice.

At that moment, the defibrillator suddenly sounded an alarm.

Zhou Cheng stopped pressing and quickly wiped the water stains off the young man's chest.

The defibrillator's electrocardiogram monitor clearly showed ventricular fibrillation!

This is an extremely dangerous arrhythmia with an out-of-hospital mortality rate of over 95%!

Even if it occurs within a hospital, the mortality rate remains high if it is not treated promptly.

Zhou Cheng's expression hardened, and he whispered, "Sister Zhao, prepare for defibrillation!"

"Received!" Zhao Wenqi handed over the two charging pads for the defibrillator.

Zhou Cheng took the two defibrillator pads and shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"

He placed two defibrillators at the top and bottom of the young man's heart, respectively.

Then, press the defibrillation button!

Discharge!

The young man's limbs twitched slightly as the electric current passed through his body.

I checked the carotid artery again, but there was still no pulse.

"Keep pressing! Don't stop!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Cheng pressed his palm firmly against the young man's chest again, maintaining the perfect rhythm of his massage.

If defibrillation is unsuccessful, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must continue indefinitely and cannot be stopped.

The family members nearby collapsed to the ground, crying out in anguish, "Doctor! Save him! He's only 18! He just started university!"

Zhou Cheng didn't turn around; sweat streamed down his forehead.

At 18, life is just beginning, how can it stop like this?

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth, changing his posture whenever his arm got sore.

"Sister Zhao, please check your blood oxygen and blood pressure!"

"Blood oxygen saturation is 25%, but blood pressure is still undetectable!"

"1 mg of adrenaline, administered intravenously over 3 minutes!"

"receive!"

Compression, breaths, defibrillation, medication administration...

Ten minutes passed, and the young man still showed no signs of life. The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.

"Is there no hope? It's been so long!"

"Oh well, it's all up to fate. This probably won't work!"

"They're just too young, what a pity!"

Zhou Cheng paid no attention to the discussions around him, nor could he hear them.

He is now fully engaged in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process.

After two more defibrillations and five minutes of chest compressions, Zhou Cheng felt his vision go black and his arms felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

But his hand never left the young man's chest.

"Sister Zhao, find a few family members to help him get into the ambulance! To the hospital! Keep chest compressions on the way!"

"Okay." Zhao Wenqi nodded. Actually, she also felt that pressing was pointless.

She has seen many patients who have suffered cardiac arrest, but only a handful have actually been saved!

With everyone's help, the young man was lifted onto a stretcher, while Zhou Cheng knelt beside the stretcher, maintaining the pressure position, not daring to relax for a moment.

……

The ambulance rushed to the hospital with its siren blaring.

Inside the train carriage, Zhou Cheng continued CPR; his arms had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

Every second felt like an eternity!

Zhao Wenqi stared at her watch. It took at least ten minutes to get from the reservoir to the hospital.

"Sister Zhao, defibrillate again!"

"Defibrillation complete! Still no spontaneous heartbeat!"

Zhou Cheng's face remained expressionless. Defibrillation had failed, and he continued with CPR.

Anyone who has performed CPR knows that, despite its seemingly simple compressions, it is incredibly difficult to perform them correctly and maintain the pressure for an extended period!

Zhao Wenqi replaced Zhou Cheng once during the match.

But she was a girl, not very strong, and couldn't last more than a few minutes.

Zhou Cheng hadn't had much rest yet, so he had to switch over and continue with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Finally, ten minutes later, the ambulance rushed into the hospital's emergency room.

The medical staff who had been waiting immediately surrounded them.

Emergency room doctor Li Degang rushed over, his expression serious: "Xiao Zhou, what's the patient's condition?"

"The patient suffered cardiac arrest after drowning. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 25 minutes, with four defibrillation attempts and five adrenaline injections, but there was no spontaneous heart rhythm!"

While quickly reporting the patient's condition, Zhou Cheng continued chest compressions and rushed into the emergency room with the stretcher.
