belated antidote

Chapter 42 Gastrodia

Tonight, the Renji Emergency Center sent a small patient who was injured by a fall from a height. The first responder reported on the phone that the child was only about four years old and arrived in 3 minutes.

Zhong Huaiyuan gradually panicked when he saw the look of the wiring nurse, and only after inquiring did he know the whole story.It turned out that the parents were busy going to the hospital to take care of the elderly who had a major operation, leaving the child alone at home. The bedroom window was not sealed, and he accidentally fell from the window sill——

Tragedy caused by negligence of supervision often occurs in the emergency department of Renji.

"It's a sin at such a young age to have to suffer like this!" Even though the cable had been disconnected, she still held on tightly to the receiver, "But is it wrong to send it to a children's hospital at such a young age?"

Zhong Huaiyuan signaled her to calm down, and took charge of the situation steadily: "You immediately call the orthopedics department, brain surgery department, and pediatrics department, and ask their doctors to come over as soon as possible, especially Director Qin of the orthopedics department, please come here if you haven't finished get off work yet." .”

"The child is too young. The equipment on the ambulance can't be used now. Xiao Min, hurry up and get a smaller one. If you don't have one, go to the pediatrics department to borrow it." He commanded decisively, and his years of accumulated work experience kept him thinking Be clear, keep busy but not chaotic, "tell Lao He in the emergency room to tell him to get ready for admission."

The injured child was sent earlier than originally expected, and doctors from various departments rushed to fill the beds in the emergency room one after another. The scale was like a rare hospital-wide general consultation.

When the child was delivered, his spontaneous breathing had stopped, and his heart rate continued to drop. The situation was very critical.Director He quickly organized all medical resources to start a tense rescue.

Children are not simply reduced versions of adults, their body structure is more tender, and the dosage of medication is also very particular. Every order issued by the doctor must be extremely careful.

It was delivered at eight o'clock, and the marathon-like long rescue battle lasted until the early morning, and the child's condition did not improve significantly.Zhong Huaiyuan held his little bloody hand, looked at his abnormally swollen belly with some distress, and exhaled helplessly.

The bedside color ultrasound showed that the child's abdominal cavity was full of blood. Judging from the dilated pupils and coma, the hemorrhage in the brain should also be serious.But the child's vital signs were not stable, Director He did not dare to take the risk of sending him for CT, for fear that moving on the road would cause fatal consequences.

"How is it?" Lao He went back to the lounge to make a cup of coffee and returned to the hospital bed again.

Zhong Huaiyuan shook his head and slowed down the drip rate of the infusion: "The blood pressure is all supported by the vasopressor, and I don't know if it can hold it. The oxygen concentration is already 100%, but the SpO2 [1] is still not very good. "

Even if he is a director who has experienced many battles, it is rare to realize that it is difficult.Just as they were discussing the next treatment plan, the child's condition took a turn for the worse, and a lot of blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth and nose.

"This brain is absolutely dead..." After finally grabbing the heartbeat back with chest compressions, Director He wiped his sweat with the handkerchief Zhong Huaiyuan handed over, "I need to talk to my family members, I can't wait, Xiaoyuan, follow me Come."

Zhong Huaiyuan followed Director He to see the weeping family members outside the rescue room. Director He explained the urgency and necessity of head CT succinctly and clearly, and asked the family members whether they agreed to bear the risk of going from the rescue room to the CT room.

Director He promised: "I am the director of the emergency department. If you agree, the head nurse and I will personally escort the patient by the bedside. If there is any problem, we can immediately give first aid on the spot."

The family members hesitated for a while when they heard such harsh and terrifying words as "unknown", "transfer accident", and "maybe gone straight away", and the two had to return to the emergency room temporarily.

"I first wrote down in the rescue record that 'family members are discussing'." In order to avoid unnecessary disputes as much as possible, Zhong Huaiyuan always prefers to be more careful. After all, the trust between doctors and patients is sometimes broken very easily.

While waiting for the family members to make a decision, he contacted doctors from the chest, brain, and ultrasound departments to inquire about the feasibility of brain CT at bedtime.But fortunately, it didn't take long for the family members to come in and sign the risk commitment letter.Zhong Huaiyuan and Director He quickly and smoothly transferred the child to the CT room, but the most undesirable result still appeared.

The CT imaging was shocking, with spider blood, fractures, and his head looked like a cake that had fallen to the ground.The doctor outside the brain looked at the film and showed compassion and helplessness: "Everything is broken and swollen, and it can't be saved."

Zhong Huaiyuan's eyes passed through the monitor that was alarming. The faint dawn outside the window was erasing the dark blue color blocks on the sky, and the light shot out from behind the clouds, leaving a clear path in the silence.Everything gradually woke up in the rising temperature, but the child slept forever in the shocking nightmare of last night.

"Time of death, 5:47 in the morning."

The unemotional announcement is like the end of a tragedy, and the actors and audience can't help but look down and even cry.Medical workers have never been directors who can modify the script. They just cooperate with the busy scene of the performance. Faced with the unexpected temporary performance of the patient who is the protagonist on the stage of disease, they are not always able to save the scene in time.

The family members outside the rescue room cried loudly, from crying to screaming intermittently. Although the decibels decreased, the concentration of grief continued to intensify.

The emergency center, which had been busy all night, finished the shift in a depressed mood. When Zhong Huaiyuan left the emergency room, he ran into his family members who had returned from the morgue.

The child's mother dragged her steps in different shades like a walking corpse, seemed to recognize him, and suddenly rushed up out of control: "You promised me to rescue Beibei, you promised me..."

When people cannot bear the huge consequences caused by self-negligence, they often habitually pass the responsibility on to others in an evasive manner.Zhong Huaiyuan understood her distraught mood very well at the moment, so he didn't push her away in time, and let the poor mother with traces of hard work grab his uniform.

"Beibei—my poor child, how would you live without your mother..."

Every desperate roar tugged at Zhong Huaiyuan's neckline. Uncle Wang, the security guard, wanted to pull her away, but Zhong Huaiyuan stopped her with his eyes.He failed to be a beacon that illuminates miracles at work, so after get off work, he is willing to temporarily act as a driftwood that the mother who just lost her beloved son can hold tightly in the emotional shock.

"We did our best, please forgive me. The child has been in an unconscious state of coma, and walking is not too painful." Zhong Huaiyuan patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and handed the tissue again, trying to make his tone sound less Business is cold.

"My brain is... muddled..." The child's mother suddenly remembered the words the doctor used to explain the condition to him, and became emotional again. "It hurts to death, my child hurts to death!"

Zhong Huaiyuan's collar was pulled violently, and the airway was compressed, bringing a strong sense of suffocation.But the power that burst out of despair was not easy to break free. He and Uncle Wang, the security guard, tried hard for half a minute but failed to break away from the hands that were firmly holding him.

"Hey, let go! Don't hurt our Renji Buddha." Suddenly, a doctor in a white robe ran over to help them separate, and then called the accompanying family members to leave the hospital with the child's mother.

Zhong Huaiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he lowered his head to tidy up his messy white coat, he realized that the person looked familiar.

The other party pointed to the badge, and was the first to extend his hand to say hello: "Master Zhong, I'm Cui Youwei from the chest, with Section Chief Zhong."

Zhong Huaiyuan briefly shook hands with him, only then did he realize that the person in front of him seemed to be Renji's famous big mouth. "Hello, thank you for helping me out." Hearing that it came from outside his chest, he tentatively asked with some uncertainty, "Is Dr. Cui coming to the emergency department for admission?"

"Ah, yes, but not all of them." Cui Youwei had something in his words, as if he still had a kind of aggrieved smelling fresh gossip but had to hold back. I just ran into you and accidentally rescued you."

Zhong Huaiyuan looked puzzled "I don't understand what you're talking about".

Cui Youwei was still continuing his own words: "Thank you so much, really, Head Nurse Zhong, you are too polite! Helping you is helping our section chief and dean. This kind of favor can be regarded as a big profit for me."

When the key information appeared, the truth came to light, and Zhong Huaiyuan realized that Zhong Zhiting had quietly finished the matter.

He said coldly without changing his face: "I am me, they are them, and there are only colleagues in Renji."

"Yes, yes, you are busy first." Cui Youwei knew that he was not a good target for flattering in the past, so he didn't bother him too much.

With such a human-shaped loudspeaker, as expected, within half an hour, this shocking news spread like a virus with a very fast fission speed to every corner of the emergency center.Zhong Huaiyuan changed into his usual clothes and came out of the locker room, only to be blocked at the door by a group of doctors and nurses he knew well.

"Master Zhong Huaiyuan~"

"If Doctor Cui hadn't mentioned it, would you have planned to keep it from us?"

"Who would have thought that the first nursing brother rushing to the front line would never mention that he has a dean's father."

The goal has been achieved, Zhong Huaiyuan, in order not to reveal his secrets, even though he knew that his friendly colleagues were just joking, he still pretended to be angry with others according to his old temper.

"Am I Dean Zhong's son? Will it change my professional ability?" The chill followed his reopened eyelids, and there seemed to be the rustling sound of the ice blade falling, "If this relationship will affect my professional ability?" Until I do my job well, I'd rather not say it."

"This is you." Nurse Xiao Min smiled brightly, her expression unconsciously showing sincere respect, "We have always followed you and supported your original intention, and we will not change easily because of these."

Their head nurse has a cold face and a warm heart. She has extraordinary solid skills and a kind heart, and she always stands up for them to face various pressures from patients, family members and the hospital.Respect and respect often come from daily accumulation, and they have long established an extremely strong wall of trust in their work and relationship.

"We don't know Dean Zhong's son, but Zhong Huaiyuan, the head nurse of the emergency center."

Zhong Huaiyuan suppressed the choked up sobs caused by being moved, and said sincerely: "Thank you everyone."

After everyone came to say hello, they dispersed and returned to their posts. After Zhong Huaiyuan walked out of the emergency center, he immediately called Zhong Zhiding.

"How about it, am I efficient?"

"...Yes, but I'm curious to ask how you did it."

"It's very simple. Cui Youwei was on duty last night. I went back to the department and pretended to quarrel with you on the phone and lost some key information." Zhong Zhiting teased, "Quan Renji knows who he is, sir. It won't be strange for Zhong to ask."

Cui Youwei, as his name suggests, is skilled in his hands, and his words are not inferior.Zhong Huaiyuan didn't care about the deeds of "Big Renji" in the past, but today he has fully seen the strength of Dr. Cui under the operating table.

He rubbed his forehead and said speechlessly, "You have a really unique eye for picking people."

Zhong Zhiting said indifferently: "I don't care what his personality is, if he speaks his strength on the operating table, it doesn't matter if he scolds me behind my back if he can help."

Zhong Huaiyuan heard the voice, knowing that compared with his hypocritical team reputation, he still puts patients first, so he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

In the next second, a sinister voice came from the phone: "Heh, I will take the initiative to block whoever makes a small move."

...Sure enough, you can't justify this black-bellied old fox so easily!
