Those standing on the outside couldn’t see what was happening on the inside, and it made them anxious.
They began to have a bad feeling; no activity probably meant something terrible had happened.
"It’s okay, there’s no bleeding."
Just as everyone was growing worried, a message came from inside.
Actually, Liu Banxia hadn’t intended to tease them, but his thumb was a bit stiff, which slowed him down considerably.
To those waiting, even a minute felt like a long time.
"Alright, everyone can make way now. Hurry up and find your clothes so you don’t tarnish the city’s image," Liu Banxia joked.
"Dr. Liu, is the patient alive now?"
"Dr. Liu, did we help save a life too?"
"Dr. Liu, damn, I forgot I have to pick up my wife."
...
The crowd outside started to chatter.
"Everyone, calm down, you all did well," Liu Banxia shouted, then turned to the paramedic.
"Hurry and get him to the hospital. Tell them the priority is to deal with the abdominal bleeding. Although the circulation in his right leg will be affected, there’s still time."
"Okay, stretcher! We need to rush him to the hospital immediately," the paramedic responded excitedly.
BEEP.
BEEP BEEP.
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
At this point, the cars lined up behind began honking. It started with a few isolated honks, but soon merged into a chorus.
"Hehe...hehehe..."
All Xu Yino could do was chuckle sheepishly.
"Excited? Moved? Wipe your tears. You have to drive soon," Liu Banxia said. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Who’s crying? My eyes were just irritated; the smog’s so heavy today," Xu Yino said defiantly.
"What are you all staring at? Get back to your cars! Those of you shirtless, hurry and get dressed. Just wait until we get to the hospital, then see how I deal with you."
Moved to tears one moment and transformed into a fierce tigress the next; it was such a rapid shift that it even startled Liu Banxia. It was comforting, though; she was, after all, on her way to becoming a proper Teacher Xu.
"Dr. Liu, everyone said to let your car go first," the traffic police officer said, running over.
"Alright, thank them for me. Driver Xu, let’s go," Liu Banxia said, then ran to the car.
They had already been delayed for so long; this was a courtesy from these driver friends. If they were to be coy about it, they would waste even more time.
Liu Banxia really wasn’t in a state to drive at the moment; his thumbs still felt somewhat stiff. When he got into the passenger seat, he struggled to click the seatbelt into place.
As Xu Yino started the car, Liu Banxia rolled down the window and waved to the passing cars.
"Teacher Liu, today was truly exhilarating, even more so than when I performed a partial hepatectomy as lead surgeon," Xu Yino said.
"Tsk tsk, quite ambitious, already thinking about being lead surgeon for partial hepatectomies, are we?" Liu Banxia said.
"Teacher Liu, I strongly protest! Why must you torment people like this? Wasn’t that just a metaphor?" Xu Yino said helplessly.
"Isn’t it good to have ambition? Without ambition, how can one improve?" Liu Banxia said.
"Uh... Teacher Liu, my brain isn’t quite keeping up. Are you complimenting me?" Xu Yino asked, hesitating.
"Haha, figure it out for yourself. I need to massage my fingers first; they’re still a bit stiff. I can’t go into surgery today, or I’m afraid it might affect my performance," Liu Banxia said.
"Teacher Liu, do you think today’s patient can be saved?" Xu Yino asked.
"That will depend on his luck. If his luck is good enough and the internal bleeding isn’t too severe, there shouldn’t be a problem. The real danger is if an artery of an internal organ in the abdominal cavity is damaged," Liu Banxia said.
"Actually, in our emergency rescue process, when we encounter patients with multiple severe injuries, it’s truly difficult to manage. We can only prioritize the most critical injuries."
"Take today’s patient, for example. Based on the visual assessment at the scene, both the right femoral artery bleeding and the intra-abdominal bleeding are very serious."
"However, we don’t have the equipment to see the condition inside the abdomen. So, we could only address the femoral artery first. Even if the intra-abdominal bleeding is severe, we have no way to deal with it at the scene."
"Unless what? Unless the patient has an open wound on their abdomen, with blood gushing out. Only then would it meet the criteria for on-site emergency treatment, and only then could you intervene."
"Ah!" Xu Yino exclaimed, startled. "How did you know I was about to ask why we didn’t treat the abdominal bleeding?"
"As if I couldn’t guess what you all are usually thinking?" Liu Banxia said, a little smugly.
"The conditions at the scene are a world apart from even our resuscitation room. It’s not that I’m afraid of taking responsibility if I open the abdomen on site; it’s that the indications truly weren’t sufficient at the time."
"If the patient has severe internal bleeding and still goes into hemorrhagic shock after blood and fluid resuscitation, we could try. Or if there’s also bleeding in the thoracic cavity, causing a hemothorax, we would need to address that."
"In other situations, we have to hold back. Always remember one thing: we are just ordinary doctors. No matter how skilled you are, there are limits."
"However, your performance today still deserves praise. Although there was some hesitation in a few of your incisions, and the cuts were a bit large, considering the environmental and on-site factors, it was acceptable."
Initially, Xu Yino was a little happy hearing the praise, but after hearing the subsequent critique, her fighting spirit dwindled somewhat. She was still too far from Teacher Liu’s standards. If he had done it today, it definitely would have been faster with less bleeding.
"Be content. To perform like that under such circumstances is already remarkable," Liu Banxia added.
Xu Yino’s expression brightened again. Whatever, today’s primary surgery was a success.
「Back at the Second Hospital」
Instead of going to the emergency center, he took the interns to the auditorium.
As this was the first year of the teaching and training reform, even if not all interns were participating, the leaders still needed to say a few words.
Shi Lei, who was waiting there, punched him playfully. "Well done, kid, you really know how to stir things up."
"What’s wrong? Did word spread that quickly?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.
"How could it not spread quickly? Look how much time has passed; it’s all over WeChat Moments. The city TV station has already called us. They’ll come for an interview after the surgery over there is finished," Shi Lei said.
"How is the patient? Is the abdominal bleeding severe?" Liu Banxia asked.
Shi Lei shook his head. "We’ve only seen some videos; no specific details have been released yet. Let’s just say, if the reporters come to interview you, it means the person is fine. If they don’t come, it’ll just keep circulating on WeChat Moments."
"No, just let them interview Xu Yino. And the car owners who helped out today, they were all fantastic," Liu Banxia said.
"At first, everyone was a bit worried, afraid of being held responsible. I was a little annoyed at the time, but then I realized it’s human nature. Later on, everyone cooperated so well, which was even more commendable."
"You know, when they all started honking their horns for us, my eyes really stung. Xu Yino was even less composed; she actually cried and then tried to tell me she was just squinting because of the smog."
"Anyway, the on-site emergency treatment was handled very well. The Chief Director even said he would personally come to the meeting here later. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be waiting for you here. Do you have any other plans?" Shi Lei asked.
Liu Banxia shook his head. "No other plans, but I can’t operate today. My thumbs are still not flexible enough. I might have strained them by using too much force."
"Then you need to be more careful. Your hands can’t afford to be injured," Shi Lei said.
"Don’t worry, I was just in a rush and used a bit too much force. It’s nothing serious; I’ll be fine by tomorrow," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
At this moment, Xu Yino walked over. "Teacher Liu, I had everyone go to the restroom first. We’ve been on the road for a while, and who knows how long this meeting will last."
"Be prepared; you might get interviewed later," Liu Banxia said.
"Oh my god! Really?" Xu Yino’s voice shot up several octaves.
"Oh my god, yes, it’s really possible," Liu Banxia mimicked.
Shi Lei, walking beside them, shook his head helplessly. Liu Banxia was clearly in a great mood and starting to get mischievous again.
"Teacher Shi, is it true?" Xu Yino turned to Shi Lei.
"You don’t believe his words?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
Xu Yino nodded honestly. "Teacher Liu has too many tricks up his sleeve. Who knows which ones are real and which are just him teasing?"
"It is true, but it also depends on the patient’s rescue outcome. They’re still in surgery now, so it’s not appropriate for us to call and ask," Shi Lei said.
Xu Yino nodded happily, then frowned. "Wait a minute, why interview me? Shouldn’t they be interviewing Teacher Liu?"
"What’s there to interview me about? I’m handsome whether I’m interviewed or not. I’m going to check my WeChat Moments first. You go ahead and prepare a draft," Liu Banxia said and slipped away to the side.
He was human, after all, a very ordinary and normal person. So many people had noticed him today, showing him such honor, and it made him beam with happiness. Although he had also taken some risks, he felt it was completely worth it.
All emergency aid carried risks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken charge at the scene; he hadn’t wanted to put that paramedic in a difficult position.
Why make things difficult for a colleague? In this line of work, no one had it easy.
There were indeed many videos of the incident on social media. By watching them in sequence, one could piece together the entire event.
After all, when the accident first happened, most people had assumed the man had been crushed to death.
Liu Banxia felt a surge of pride, especially when he saw Qiaoqiao’s repost. That made his heart swell even more.
Qiaoqiao was clearly very happy; she was replying to every single comment.
He could almost picture Qiaoqiao on the sofa, munching on fruit and happily scrolling through her phone.
As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered. Let her play on her phone a little longer.
