Healing Doctor

Chapter 651 I demand emergency treatment!

"Sister Li, I'm sorry." Ji Xiang walked up to the patient's family member, sighed, and said with a serious expression, "You know Auntie's condition; we've done our best."

"Is it really over? Is it really over?" Another middle-aged woman asked tremulously, her face streaked with tears.

Her hands were shaking, shaking violently.

Moreover, he seemed to be inconsolable grief, unable to even stand steadily.

Ji Xiang quickly reached out to support her.

"We've been doing CPR for half an hour, and the ECG... sigh, my condolences." Ji Xiang said softly. "How about we leave it at that? Has the gentleman been found? Have you prepared any clothes? I'll go get you some warm saline solution so we can wipe him down first?"

According to normal procedure, the patient's family should break down in tears at this point, at least that's how Ji Xiang always did when he encountered similar cases during his short medical career.

Then, contact the Yin-Yang Master and go to the shop across from the hospital to buy clothes for the deceased; wash the body with warm water and alcohol, change the clothes, and perform some folk rituals under the guidance of the Yin-Yang Master before sending the body to the funeral home.

but!

Since both the system NPC and Meng Qingfei felt something was amiss, things couldn't be that simple, and Ji Xiang knew what was going on.

The next second, Dr. Li from the gastroenterology department hugged the other middle-aged woman in his arms, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Xiao Gao, my husband went abroad to work and hasn't come back yet. I need emergency treatment."

"..."

Ji Xiang was stunned.

Dr. Li is the patient's daughter-in-law. She shouldn't have been unaware that after so much chest compressions, the patient was practically cold. Why did she still need to try to resuscitate him?

Even with further resuscitation efforts, could she survive until her lover returned from abroad?

Totally impossible.

If it were just a day or two, that would be fine, but as for the current situation... Ji Xiang realized something was wrong.

Besides, Dr. Li is a gastroenterologist.

The gastroenterology department is also a major emergency room, and they've seen quite a few deaths; it's not a quiet department.

For example, due to cirrhosis leading to portal hypertension and massive hematemesis, their department sees 2-3 deaths per week.

Something is wrong!

She must have known the patient's condition, but she still said she wanted to continue the resuscitation efforts.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Ji Xiangma stared intently at Dr. Li, trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Sister Li, you know the situation."

"Me." The patient's family member looked up at Ji Xiang and said, word by word.

"want"

"beg"

"Rob"

"save!"

"..." Ji Xiang was slightly taken aback. He noticed a strange expression in the tearful eyes of the patient's family.

It might be a hallucination, but Ji Xiang firmly believed that the patient's family members were a bit crazy.

resignedly.

"Sister Li, our hospital's regulations..."

"Regulations are regulations, but I'm not a doctor now, I'm a patient's family member. I demand emergency treatment!" the patient's family member said sternly. "My husband is abroad and is on his way back. He must have the chance to come back and see me one last time."

So that's how it is. Ji Xiang is truly helpless.

Doctors can explain things very well from a doctor's perspective, but when it comes to their own experience, things are different.

"Sister, let's talk in the hallway," Ji Xiang pleaded.

"Xiao Gao, let's try to save him. If we increase the defibrillator's power, there might still be a chance." The patient's family member seemed to have regained her composure and began to offer suggestions to Ji Xiang.

"How much energy do you want?" Ji Xiang asked.

When dealing with patients who have "died" or the families of patients in similar situations, listen to their opinions as much as possible.

Otherwise, doctors will face complaints.

In addition, the patient's family member on the other end of the line is a doctor from the same family, so they know exactly what's going on.

"Usually it's 120-200J, but I'll give you 250-300J. I have similar resuscitation experience," the patient's family member said calmly. "If you're afraid, I'll sign the consent form."

"!!!"

Ji Xiang was stunned.

300J!

It's likely that the moment the defibrillator touches the patient's skin, the patient will have to "jump" off the resuscitation bed.

"Sister, what's wrong...?"

"Gao Wenming, you've gone too far! I've already told you why. If you delay the emergency treatment, I'll sue you until your medical license is revoked! I mean it!"

The patient's family member shouted angrily, the sound carrying far and wide, attracting numerous emergency room patients to climb over the door and peek.

Ji Xiang knew that the other party was genuine and that it wasn't just a threat.

He had no choice but to go to the computer and prepare to write a communication document.

"I'll write the communication and sign it. You just need to leave your employee number. Don't delay the rescue." The patient's family member regained their composure.

The dramatic shift in his attitude left Ji Xiang with a rather strange feeling.

Ji Xiang returned to the patient's side and began performing chest compressions.

Soon, the patient's family members came over with the signed communication record.

"Xiao Gao, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have yelled at you." The patient's family member apologized first, "Thank you everyone for your hard work, please see if this is alright."

Ji Xiang glanced at it.

The communication was written very clearly, and the patient's family was aware of all the injuries, including electric shock, rib fractures, sternal fractures, and even massive bleeding, as well as several rare conditions.

Even if Ji Xiang himself wrote it, it would be difficult to write it in such detail.

The note also stated that the patient's family strongly requested emergency treatment, and that any consequences arising from such actions would be the sole responsibility of the family and would have nothing to do with the doctors, nurses, or hospital.

The patient's family member's signature also included a bright red fingerprint.

The signing and fingerprinting were all flawless.

Not only Ji Xiang, but also the anesthesiologist and other doctors were unable to utter a single word.

What can we do? It's already like this, let's just do it.

As soon as the 300J defibrillator touched the patient's chest, a burnt smell emanated from it.

"Bang!"

Because the defibrillator's energy was too high, it triggered a bioelectrical reflex, causing the patient who was lying flat on the resuscitation bed and had already died to suddenly "jump" up.

It was about 10cm high and landed heavily on the emergency bed.

Ji Xiang almost burst into tears.

Why bother?

The patient's family member is a doctor from the same family; she couldn't possibly not know that the patient was beyond saving and couldn't possibly wait for her son abroad to return.

No wonder the system NPCs wouldn't let me become a patient or a patient's family member; this whole thing is so strange.

After three electric shocks, the patient's chest was charred, and Ji Xiang could vaguely see smoke rising from the patient.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be able to smell the barbecue in half an hour.

Ji Xiang was somewhat confused as he performed CPR after receiving the electric shock.

Gradually, water sounds began to be heard in the patient's chest cavity. Each press felt like pressing on a water sac, and Ji Xiang could even hear a rattling sound.

Oh shit!

This is bizarre!

Ji Xiang cursed inwardly.

12 electric shocks, 1 hour and 22 minutes of chest compressions, the patient's body was... indescribable.

"Xiao Gao, that's it." The patient's family member was in tears, crying as she spoke. She bowed in gratitude, as if she knew that the situation was beyond saving.

Sigh~~~

Ji Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The hellish torment left Ji Xiang completely exhausted.
