Rebirth of a Doctor Without Regrets

Wang Xiao didn't know how to comfort her. How to put it... no wonder it was a C-level diagnosis; she chose the treatment plan without thinking at all.

"I was thinking of doing a tracheotomy just now, but thankfully you stopped me..." Fang Yuan's voice still carried a hint of lingering fear. Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed her palms, and her delicate peach blossom eyes were slightly furrowed.

"It's alright, everyone has their own expertise." Wang Xiao smiled, maintaining a steady rhythm as he pressed the balloon. "I noticed you're quite strong, and your Heimlich maneuver was precise just now. You're not an orthopedic surgeon, are you?"

"Wow! You're really good at judging people!" Fang Yuan looked up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then lowered her head shyly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

"Our orthopedic work is all physically demanding, so... we are indeed stronger than the average woman."

Her shy demeanor was completely different from the decisiveness she displayed during the emergency treatment when she dared to perform surgery to open her trachea.

Wang Xiao chuckled inwardly and then introduced herself: "My name is Wang Xiao. I graduated from Beijing Medical University and am preparing to join the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chunda University, majoring in cardiac surgery."

The female doctor's eyes suddenly lit up, then she quickly lowered her eyelashes: "I...I'm Fang Yuan, a graduate of Capital Medical University...I'm also preparing to join the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chunda University."

"What a coincidence?" Wang Xiao's mind started racing.

Regardless of which department they go to, resident physicians will most likely have to take turns going out to the emergency room, or even accompany ambulances, especially in hospitals with severe staff shortages.

For emergency surgery, the most common task is to treat external injuries.

What are the most common external injuries seen in the emergency room? Car accident injuries, dog bites, and being stabbed by one's wife.

Orthopedic surgeons are experts at handling these cases, and building a good relationship with an orthopedic doctor can help improve your performance in the emergency department.

Ultimately, it's all about being able to undergo advanced surgery as soon as possible.

Wang Xiao slowed down her movements. Seeing that the patient's breathing had stabilized considerably, she gestured to Fang Yuan, "Why don't you press for a while? Be gentle and follow the rhythm of his breathing."

Fang Yuan nodded, carefully took the balloon, and precisely found the right pressure with her fingertips, pressing in a rhythm almost identical to Wang Xiao's.

As they passed the item to each other, their hands accidentally touched, and Fang Yuan's ears turned even redder. She quickly looked away and went to look at the patient.

"The orthopedics department at Chung Hsin University Second Affiliated Hospital is quite strong. I never expected to become your colleague. I might need to coordinate with your orthopedics department frequently when I'm on emergency calls in the future. How about we add each other on WeChat so we can get to know each other better beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan visibly paused, the blush on her face instantly spreading to her neck, her eyes darting around, looking conflicted.

Wang Xiao noticed her hesitation and recalled that in the past, people were more cautious about using WeChat as a means of communication and usually only added close friends and relatives.

So he softened his tone and smiled, trying to smooth things over: "Is it inconvenient to add each other on WeChat? I understand, many people only add relatives on WeChat. If you have QQ, that's fine too, adding each other on QQ will be the same, and it will be easier to coordinate for work in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan visibly relaxed, her tense shoulders slumped slightly, and the embarrassment on her face dissipated considerably.

"Okay... I'll add you on QQ, thanks."

"No trouble at all. We'll be colleagues from now on, so do whatever is convenient for you." Wang Xiao smiled, and seeing that the patient's condition was stable, she gestured to Fang Yuan to let her take over the chest compressions. "You rest for a bit, I'll do it. Here's my QQ number, add me."

"Okay." Fang Yuan blurted out almost immediately, then realized she had been too hasty, and her cheeks burned even hotter.

She freed one hand, hurriedly pulled her phone out of her pocket, and typed in Wang Xiao's QQ number while looking at his phone.

His nickname is "メ萧少゛霸气侧漏ゞ", and his profile picture is a black and white rainy night street with an exaggerated metal chain border.

Fang Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly, revealing a few cute little tiger teeth. She then covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Xiao felt a little embarrassed, after all, this was a stark contrast to his current mature, uncle-like style.

"Um... don't laugh, I set up this QQ account when I was in junior high school. The nickname and profile picture were just something I randomly picked because it was trendy. I've been too lazy to change it, so I've just been using it as is."

Fang Yuan finally stopped laughing, and her eyes showed more relaxation as she looked at Wang Xiao: "It's okay... I understand, we all loved doing these things when we were little. I've added you, and I've saved your contact as 'Fang Yuan - Orthopedics Department, Second Affiliated Hospital of Chunda University'."

Just as Wang Xiao was about to say something more, a flight attendant quickly walked over: "Doctors, please be aware that the next stop is approaching soon. The 120 emergency medical personnel are already waiting on the platform. We are ready to transfer the patient."

Wang Xiao checked the patient's intubation tube again. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, she and Fang Yuan got up and called to the flight attendants who were waiting nearby: "Come and lend a hand. Lift it slowly and be careful to protect the intubation tube so that it doesn't shift."

Wang Xiao stood guard over the patient's head, supporting the intubation tube throughout the process. The group carefully lifted the patient from the ground onto the temporary stretcher brought by the flight attendant.

At this moment, the passengers in the carriage consciously made way, and some even whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor." Wang Xiao and Fang Yuan responded casually, their attention entirely focused on the patient.

The train slowly pulled into the station, and as the doors opened, a cool evening breeze carrying the smell of disinfectant rushed out.

An ambulance pulled up from the platform, its red warning lights still flashing, and several paramedics in first aid suits quickly pushed a stretcher to meet it.

"The patient is a 42-year-old male who choked on a piece of cartilage and meat while eating. He has undergone cricothyrotomy and intubation. He is currently breathing steadily and his vital signs are normal. The foreign object in his airway has not yet been removed. He needs to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible for further treatment."

While assisting in transferring the patient, Wang Xiao quickly explained the patient's condition and the rescue process to the emergency personnel.

This is an important step in transferring the patient, which is beneficial for subsequent treatment.

The emergency doctor carefully noted the details, steadily transferred the patient to the ambulance stretcher, secured the restraints, and nodded to the two men: "Thank you both, you've worked hard. We'll get him to the hospital right away."

As the ambulance slowly drove away from the platform and the siren faded into the distance, the two men breathed a sigh of relief.

The train whistle sounded, the doors slowly closed, the wheels began to turn, and it continued its journey towards Kunming.

The two were not seated in the same carriage, but neither of them mentioned going back to their seats, so they stood quietly at the junction of the carriages.

"You two are a pair of adulterers." A young man with a cigarette in his mouth, who had been standing nearby smoking, couldn't stand the ambiguous atmosphere and mumbled a curse before leaving.

Fang Yuan's fingertips gripped the edge of her pants, unconsciously rubbing it.

Wang Xiao then noticed that she was wearing khaki capri pants and a white short-sleeved shirt in the hot summer, which was very simple and conservative.

If it weren't for the fact that the 36D breasts were hard to hide.

"So why did you come back to Chuncheng? Isn't Beijing a better place for development?" Wang Xiao asked.

"My mother-in-law lives alone in the countryside near Kunming. She's in poor health, and her rheumatism and high blood pressure flare up frequently, so I'm worried about her. Staying in Kunming allows me to go back and take care of her during my time off, which gives me peace of mind."

"Mother-in-law? You have a husband?" Wang Xiao asked in surprise.

"That's my grandma. My grandma married into the family from Sichuan, so I'm used to calling her 'grandma'." Fang Yuan looked up and laughed, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

Fang Yuan talked about how her parents went south to work in their early years and unfortunately died in an accident. Her grandfather was diagnosed with malignant glioma a couple of years ago, and despite spending a lot of money, he eventually passed away. Now, only her mother-in-law is left in the family.

After listening to Fang Yuan recount her family story, Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel a deep empathy.

After all, Wang Xiao himself grew up in an orphanage.

It's been several years since I've been back home. After all, it's a time for everyone to go home for the Lunar New Year, and for pharmaceutical representatives, it's also an important time to send New Year's "blessings" to their clients.

After agreeing to meet Fang Yuan at the hospital, Wang Xiao took a taxi to the Beautiful Start Children's Welfare Institute in Chuncheng City.
