This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Outside the emergency room.

A middle-aged couple was extremely anxious; the woman was trembling with sobs, while the man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red and swollen.

Rescue room.

It was already in complete chaos, with several nurses bustling around the hospital bed.

Lying on the hospital bed was a fourteen-year-old boy, his face as pale as paper and his lips cyanotic.

At this time, Zhou Cheng had taken over from the nurse to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

He gritted his teeth inwardly. Although he had been thinking about being fired for violating regulations, he simply couldn't stand idly by when faced with a young life at this moment.

While performing chest compressions in a standardized manner, Zhou Cheng gave instructions to Chen Xi and Li Yang beside him, "Chen Xi, go get the bag-valve-mask, prepare for assisted ventilation! Li Yang, record the resuscitation time and changes in vital signs!"

Chen Xi nodded, already placing the balloon mask on the boy's face and squeezing the balloon to assist ventilation.

Three more rounds of chest compressions and assisted ventilation were performed.

Zhou Cheng immediately had Li Yang take over his chest compressions, while he provided guidance from the side.

At first, Li Yang was a little flustered, but with Zhou Cheng's help, he quickly adapted to the pressing rhythm.

He and Chen Xi worked together very well.

Zhou Cheng also took a break and gave the nurse next to him emergency treatment orders.

"1 mg of adrenaline, IV push!"

"Ice packs for brain protection!"

"Urgent biochemistry test needed, bring a vial of blood gas analysis!"

After several more rounds of chest compressions, the patient's faint spontaneous heartbeat finally appeared on the electrocardiogram monitor, in addition to the waveform of the compressions.

Immediately afterwards, the girl seemed to let out a painful groan.

"His heartbeat has returned, and he seems to be breathing on his own!" a nurse exclaimed in surprise, while simultaneously recording his vital signs: "Heart rate 52 beats/min, blood pressure 70/40 mmHg!"

With their breathing and heartbeats restored, Chen Xi and Li Yang, under Zhou Cheng's instructions, also stopped the CPR.

Looking at the patient on the hospital bed who had regained some consciousness, all three of them felt as if they had survived a catastrophe.

At this moment, Director Wang Jianming and Senior Physician Li Degang finally arrived.

Actually, they arrived quite quickly, but the rescue just now was a race against time. Zhou Cheng and the other two successfully performed CPR in a very short period of time.

Just then, the door to the emergency room was pushed open again.

Wang Jianming and Li Degang strode in, their expressions grave. As soon as they entered, they looked toward the hospital bed.

"How is it?" Wang Jianming asked in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the waveform on the electrocardiogram monitor. Seeing the return of a spontaneous heartbeat, his tense expression eased slightly. "The heartbeat has returned?"

Li Degang went straight to the bedside, quickly picked up the stethoscope to listen, and then checked the girl's pupils and complexion. He then asked Zhou Cheng, "Xiao Zhou, what happened? Tell me about the rescue."

"The patient is 15 years old and just suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. We happened to pass by after rounds and immediately started cardiopulmonary resuscitation, gave chest compressions, bag-valve ventilation, administered 1 mg of adrenaline intravenously, applied ice packs for brain protection, and urgently performed biochemistry and blood gas analysis."

"After about five or six rounds of chest compressions, the patient regained spontaneous heartbeat and breathing. Currently, the heart rate is around 50 beats per minute, and the blood pressure is 70/40 mmHg."

Zhou Cheng gave a concise report on the rescue process.

Wang Jianming nodded and instructed the nurse beside him: "Continue with the current treatment, closely monitor vital signs, call the ICU and cardiology department and ask them to come and check on the patient, and transfer him to another department for further treatment as soon as possible."

After saying that, he gave Li Degang a look, and the two of them turned and walked out of the emergency room.

……

In the corridor outside the emergency room, the middle-aged couple were still waiting at the door, the woman still sobbing softly.

The man gently patted her back to comfort her. When they saw Wang Jianming and Li Degang come out, the two immediately went to greet them.

"Doctor, how is my child?" the man asked in a hoarse voice.

Wang Jianming softened his tone: "Please don't be too anxious. The child is temporarily out of danger, and has regained a heartbeat and breathing, but the condition is still unstable. He may need to be transferred to the ICU for treatment. We'd like to ask if the child has shown any unusual behavior recently? Were there any specific triggers before this illness?"

Hearing that the child was temporarily out of danger, the woman's crying subsided slightly, but when she mentioned the child's condition, she couldn't help but choke up again as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sigh, I don't know how she ended up like this..."

The man gently patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to speak slowly. The woman sniffed, but tears still streamed down her face.

"A month ago, she didn't do well on her final exams, and she was quite emotional."

"After that, he became very irritable. He would either yell at us or throw things."

"During the day, she would just sit there blankly with a vacant look in her eyes. She wouldn't respond when someone called her, and sometimes she would talk to herself, saying that she saw her deceased grandfather."

"At the time, we just thought she was upset because she didn't do well on her exam. We didn't think about the possibility of her being sick, and we even criticized her a bit, telling her not to throw a tantrum." The woman's voice was full of regret. "Later, her mood got worse and worse, so we thought that taking her out for a walk might help her feel better."

"Yesterday, our family drove her to a park in the suburbs. Unexpectedly, on the highway, she suddenly opened the car door and tried to jump out without saying a word! If my husband hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed her, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

At this point, the woman could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"That's when we found out she had suicidal tendencies. We were terrified and immediately turned around and rushed to the hospital. On the way, she started having difficulty breathing and her face turned pale. Not long after we arrived at the hospital, she became what you described."

"Doctor, what's wrong with my child? Why would she try to jump out of the car?"

The man's eyes also reddened, and he added, "She's lost a lot of weight this past month, can't eat, and can't sleep well. We just thought she was being moody and didn't take it seriously. If we had known this would happen, we would have taken her to the hospital for a checkup much earlier."

Wang Jianming and Li Degang listened attentively, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

Li Degang took out his notebook and quickly recorded the key information the family members were saying.

Wang Jianming frowned in thought.

Based on the patient's symptoms and the family's account, the child most likely suffered from serious psychological problems due to failing the exam, possibly including depression or mental abnormalities.

It may also be related to prolonged negative emotions and weakened immunity.

However, the cause of the cardiac arrest may require further investigation!

After the family members calmed down a bit, Wang Jianming spoke up, saying, "Based on what you've said, the child may have psychological or mental health issues, which could be a significant trigger for this illness. In addition to treating her heart condition, we will also consult with psychiatrists and psychologists to comprehensively assess her mental state and develop a comprehensive treatment plan."

"Don't blame yourselves too much. The most important thing now is to cooperate with our treatment. We will keep you informed of any further developments."

"Thank you, doctor. We will definitely cooperate." The man nodded quickly, supporting the woman who was still sobbing.

Wang Jianming and Li Degang exchanged a glance; both knew that this patient might not be so simple.

The two turned and went back to the emergency room. Li Degang briefly conveyed the family's account to Zhou Cheng and the others, and finally instructed, "Please have another consultation with a neurologist. Give them a detailed account of the situation the family described. Zhou Cheng, your emergency treatment today was appropriate. Continue to follow up on the patient's condition."

"Okay, Teacher Li." Zhou Cheng nodded.

He's quite calm now when faced with critically ill patients like this, considering the significant debuff they've been dealt with.

However, Chen Xi and Li Yang are different.

They may have seen senior doctors perform CPR, but this is the first time they've done it themselves.

Looking at the little girl recovering in the hospital bed, the two of them couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

This sense of satisfaction instantly swept away their fatigue from the past few days of clinical work.

This was all thanks to Senior Brother Zhou Cheng, who allowed them to personally experience the urgency of a rescue and the happiness of a successful rescue!

They need to work even harder so as not to let their senior down!
