Healing Doctor

Chapter 660 A Massive Social Disaster

"You stay here and try to save him, I'll be right there!" Meng Qingfei said hurriedly.

His voice was slightly distorted, sounding quite nervous.

"Old Wu, take a look, something's happened to the patient!" Meng Qingfei jogged out of the consultation room, explaining to the emergency room doctor as he ran.

Ji Xiang wanted to go with them, but Meng Qingfei kept him behind.

Emergency room doctors may not know how to suture, but they can help with some patients. However, they are helpless when they encounter patients who need sutures.

Of course, he could be sent to the ward for suturing, but Ji Xiang wasn't there. In his desperation, Meng Qingfei ignored Ji Xiang's objections and ran directly to the scene of the incident after saying a word.

Ji Xiang was anxious, but he could only stay behind helplessly, watching Meng Qingfei and Lin Jiu disappear into the distance.

"Dr. Ji, why did you choose to work in the emergency room? It's like a battleground here every day. One day here is equivalent to three days of normal work. The adrenaline levels are incredibly high, it's unbelievable!" An emergency room physician struck up a conversation.

"I want to come and enrich my clinical experience," Ji Xiang said.

"When you were on the variety show, I noticed you had a lot of clinical experience. By the way, was Neymar's surgery successful?"

Their concern is all about Neymar, since the World Cup is next year, and this should be the last World Cup that Neymar can participate in.

If Neymar could replicate Messi's experience and win a World Cup trophy before retiring from the pitch at an advanced age, although he might not achieve legendary status, his professional career would certainly come to a perfect end.

Ji Xiang chatted casually with the emergency room doctor, but his mind was on following Meng Qingfei to the emergency room for treatment.

It seems that the problem lies with the female patient who jumped from the building, but Ji Xiang witnessed the examination conducted by Teacher Meng Qingfei, so there shouldn't be a misdiagnosis.

Moreover, the patient's blood pressure is stable, and there should be no hemorrhagic shock in a short period of time.

"Teacher, what do you think... happened when Teacher Meng went to the emergency room for emergency treatment?" Ji Xiang asked.

"A few days ago, one of our hospital's doctors suffered a brain hemorrhage," said an emergency room doctor. "An ambulance went to his home to pick him up, and guess what happened?"

"I don't know." Ji Xiang honestly shook his head.

"He lives in an old building without an elevator. He's over 1.8 meters tall and weighs over 200 kilograms, so the doctors and nurses all helped carry him on a stretcher. But when they were going downstairs, he slipped and fell off the stretcher."

"..." Ji Xiang was speechless.

Weighing over 200 pounds, suffering a brain hemorrhage, and then falling off the stretcher and getting hurt.

Ugh.

Things like this are hard to explain.

Logically, it should be the hospital's responsibility, but in an old building without an elevator, several people carried a patient weighing over 200 pounds downstairs on a stretcher.

Forget it, just like the system NPC said, these things shouldn't be thought about too much.

"A patient who seems stable, who knows what might happen?" the emergency room doctor said. "This is someone who jumped from a building. Her blood pressure spiked the moment she jumped; it could be an aortic dissection. As for other possibilities, there are at least eighty or a hundred, it's impossible to say for sure."

As they were talking, the emergency room doctor suddenly asked, "Did you see the news a few years ago about a patient who rode a drop tower?"

"no."

Ji Xiang felt that emergency room doctors would start gossiping whenever they had free time; that's how emergency internal medicine doctors are.

"A man in his forties accompanied his wife and children on a drop tower. As soon as they got on the drop tower, his blood pressure spiked, probably causing his aorta to rupture. He started gushing blood on the drop tower, and several people around him fainted from shock."

"Spitting blood? Vomiting blood? That shouldn't be the case. Patients with aortic dissection do die immediately after rupture, but the blood should still be inside their bodies."

Listening to Ji Xiang's analysis, the emergency room doctor genuinely felt that these doctors were all quite boring. Back when he saw the news, someone asked why. So many years later, when he was telling Ji Xiang the same thing, Ji Xiang also asked why.

"Someone inquired about it, and coincidentally, a classmate of mine works as a forensic pathologist. He said that the day before yesterday, he choked on a fish, which pierced his trachea and lodged in his aorta. So..."

The emergency room doctor shrugged.

"It's just a coincidence. We doctors encounter all sorts of things, so we're used to it."

"Oh." Ji Xiang was slightly dissatisfied with the emergency room doctor's answer.

"A few years ago, there was an earthquake, magnitude 3.3. A friend of mine was on duty. All the patients who could move had run downstairs. When the nurse called her, she turned over and continued to sleep, saying that there were still patients in the ward who couldn't move, so how could she run away?"

The emergency room doctor's train of thought was quite wild; he immediately started talking about earthquakes.

Just then, a patient came for a consultation, and Ji Xiang was finally able to get rid of her.

Half an hour later, Lin Jiu returned first.

"Dr. Lin, what happened?" Ji Xiang asked. "Where's Teacher Meng?"

"Dr. Meng is looking at the patient and conducting an examination. After the examination, the patient will be taken to the orthopedics department."

"Nothing else?"

"On the way to the examination, the patient attempted suicide again, smashing the glass in the connecting corridor and cutting her face, causing a lot of bleeding. If the caregiver hadn't held her leg, she probably would have jumped."

"!!!"

"The fracture site of the femoral shaft is so severe that the fractured bone ends have pierced the skin. I estimate that emergency surgery will be needed tonight," Lin Jiuze said.

"Being admitted to the orthopedics department will also cause some trouble," Ji Xiang sighed.

"I guess she was very suicidal, so she had to be tied up even when she was admitted to the ward."

"Why?" Ji Xiang muttered to himself.

"Two of my colleagues from the company went there, and I overheard them talking. Apparently, the patient had a boyfriend in another city, and she was having sex with two other men in the office building. Later, somehow her boyfriend found out..."

"So what if they found out? Let's break up. Why do we have to die?" Ji Xiang sighed.

"Her boyfriend secretly read the chat history, which reportedly contained text messages and videos. It was so exciting that her boyfriend couldn't resist selecting the most exciting parts and posting them on his WeChat Moments while she was sleeping."

"..."

Posting this on WeChat Moments is basically a death sentence.

Even just listening to it made Ji Xiang feel incredibly awkward.

"Not only on WeChat Moments, but her boyfriend also posted it in all the group chats. Finally, he silenced his phone, got dressed, and went back to his own city."

"When was it discovered?"

"The patient woke up the next morning to find countless messages on his phone, and he was completely stunned. They said that the girlfriend of one of his two casual sex partners from the same office building had come to his door, and that's how things ended up like this."

Ji Xiang was unmoved by this kind of gossip.

These things were boring and tedious for him. Ji Xiang wasn't curious; he just found them incredibly troublesome.

Treating emergency patients also means dealing with patients who constantly try to commit suicide by jumping off buildings and come up with all sorts of different ways to do so... If they actually die, when their families arrive, they won't mention anything about the past; they'll only talk about the hospital's problems.

This pot is covered in dirt, it's a bit black.
