Arrived at the CT room, it was already in chaos here. Even with traffic police maintaining order, it was a mess.

"Fight, keep fighting. Don't hold them back, we're just the emergency center here. As long as you don't kill a few on the spot, we can save them." Liu Banxia shouted.

He shouted, this is his turf. The medical staff nearby immediately left the battlefield, leaving the stage to the feuding family members.

The two traffic policemen were struggling, now they were essentially fighting alone. But to their surprise, given the stage, these family members actually stopped fighting.

They were still pulling each other, but there was no extreme behavior anymore.

"Those with nosebleeds or scratches, it's quite convenient for us to do a check." Liu Banxia continued.

"It was already troubling enough with the car accident, and we still don't know exactly what's going on inside. Why are you causing trouble outside? Solve the problem if there is one, the traffic police are here, isn't it good enough to divide the responsibility?"

"We have to fight this shameless one. They're the ones who crossed the barrier, and now they're asking us for compensation." A woman said.

"That won't do either, it was a justified matter, but once you start using force, you lose that justification. Move to another place and wait, just let go, this won't solve the issue." Liu Banxia said.

"Who are you? They hit my brother with their car, how is that justified?"

A young man in the crowd on the left spoke up just as Liu Banxia finished speaking.

"Fed up? No matter what condition your brother is in? Are you really concerned about your brother or just helping to extort money? He has a brain hemorrhage now and needs immediate cranial surgery. Who is the real decision-making family member? Come with me." Liu Banxia said, looking at him.

Upon hearing Liu Banxia's words, no one dared to respond from this small group.

They had just heard that the people inside had woken up and thought there was nothing wrong, so they were confident. Now hearing about hemorrhage and craniotomy, these injuries are indeed severe.

In hospitals, doctors often hold significant authority. But when family members start fighting, doctors usually don't get involved.

Even if you try to mediate, you might become inadvertently injured. What can you do then? It's just wasted injuries.

And many times, fights happen "out of necessity," words piling up together, and if you don't fight, where's the face? But rationality still exists; they know it's not okay to truly hurt someone.

Liu Banxia's shout provided a decent opportunity; otherwise, if a real fight breaks out, who would be effective?

"Doctor, what's wrong with my husband? Didn't you say the CT wasn't finished yet?" the patient's wife asked.

"Although the film isn't out yet, we can directly view it on the computer." Liu Banxia said.

"Look, these are X-rays and CT scans just taken. You can see multiple fractures on the body, especially the vertebrae and skull fractures are quite severe."

"But these fractures don't require surgery; with good rest and rehabilitation, they won't pose major problems. The critical issue is the brain hemorrhage inside. If it's not treated, it will become very dangerous."

"Currently, his condition can't be controlled with medication; surgery intervention is required to remove the blood and stop the bleeding."

"Otherwise, the hemorrhage will compress the brain; even without medical knowledge, you should understand the damage it would cause. Dr. Zhang, arrange for someone to explain the surgery to them."

If he's dealing with reasonable family members, he'll patiently explain. But after their fuss earlier, he's lost the goodwill. He'll just fulfill his duty without getting too involved.

"There will probably be fuss after it's done too; the surgical costs aren't small." Qi Wentai said.

"There's no other way. Given the current situation, it's quite fortunate for this patient. If it had involved orthopedic surgery too? It would be endless." Liu Banxia said.

"He just needed to follow the traffic rules, take the pedestrian path, and today's accident could have been avoided. But he insisted on breaking through, throwing in so much money all at once."

The topic is somewhat frustrating, considering it's an unexpected misfortune, but living by the rules can avoid many problems.

People might say, even walking normally on the road, there could be cars coming. If a car accident wants to find you, you can't escape.

It can be said like this, but following traffic regulations reduces the likelihood of encountering accidents significantly. Moreover, if something happens, you won't have to worry about medical expenses. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Well? Ready for surgery once it's out?" Liu Banxia asked, looking at Zhang Xiao who approached.

"Initially hesitant, but it's a matter of life after all. Surgery offers a chance for survival; without it, there's no hope. The patient's consciousness is already a bit poor, the abdominal CT is negative, straight to the stage." Zhang Xiao said.

Liu Banxia nodded, the patient became a bit luckier.

"Director Liu, thank you just now."

After the patient was taken to the operating room, the traffic officer came over.

"Sigh... we're kind of like little partner teams. Encountering family members of such patients really gives one a headache," Liu Banxia said.

"By the way, how's the recent crackdown on those dump trucks and drunk driving? I see drivers still being brought in for DUI and DWI every now and then. Are they really that daring?"

"There are always daring people around, and after drinking, they're even bolder," the traffic officer said.

"Many people have a lucky mentality, and when something actually happens, there's no chance to regret it. Everyone knows they shouldn't drink and drive, but after drinking, they don't even know who they are."

Such straightforward words are indeed a real reflection of reality, revealing a sense of helplessness and bitterness.

After all, checking for drunk driving is dangerous too, as some drivers will risk everything to break through checkpoints—it's happened more than once or twice.

"Director Liu, is it true that alcohol addiction is so overpowering? Do people have to drink themselves unconscious for it to count?" the traffic officer asked curiously.

"It's a bit complicated. Some people are at the level of alcohol dependence, while others just like to indulge," Liu Banxia said.

"Those addicted have reached psychological and physical dependence on alcohol. People often say they can't move when seeing alcohol—that's psychological dependence. Some drink to escape pressure, while others purely enjoy the dizzy feeling of being drunk."

"For certain patients who have been drinking heavily over a long period, when the alcohol concentration in their bodies drops, they'll experience withdrawal symptoms and feel very uncomfortable. There's no other option but to continue drinking."

"In fact, the situation of alcohol abuse accounts for a significant proportion in our country. It's just that the domestic social environment doesn't prioritize mental health as much—unlike abroad where there are always those sobriety clubs."

"It's like the so-called drinking culture, where drinking should be for fun and leisure, but ends up becoming mainstream culture—that's putting the cart before the horse."

"Alcohol issues are a serious problem in every country, and as the number of alcohol abusers increases, various issues naturally arise."

The traffic officer nodded, never really having paid attention to this before, it somewhat cleared up a little doubt in his mind.

"I checked, and the other people's CT scans showed no issues, just need simple debridement," at this point Qi Wentai came over.

"That will ease things a bit, what's Wang Chao up to?" Liu Banxia asked.

"A patient in the ward upstairs has poor tolerance, feeling pain at the surgical site now," Qi Wentai said.

"Plus there are three patients with postoperative fever, but it's within the normal range. He's been rotating with these patients the past two days. I feel like he's working harder than me; I just finish triage and I'm done."

"I'll go check on the patient with VB1 deficiency, there should be some improvement now," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Anyway, he doesn't think either of their work is easier than the other—the key is the number of patient visits. If it really gets busy, they'll both be swamped.

"Director Liu, you're here, I'm feeling quite energetic now."

Seeing Liu Banxia come over, the patient spoke with much vigor.

"Basically, there's no problem. In the future, pay attention, and try not to drink," Liu Banxia said.

"I'm definitely not drinking, don't dare to. Director Liu, will there be any aftereffects?" the patient asked.

"No worries, you've just started experiencing it, and it hasn't caused any permanent damage. If it had gone on longer, it would be hard to say," Liu Banxia said.

"And your lumbar disc herniation, you need to be careful with that as well. No immediate treatment needed, but you should pay attention in your future daily life."

The patient nodded; he'll earnestly heed whatever Liu Banxia says now.

In a certain sense, this patient is really good—at least he'll faithfully do whatever Liu Banxia instructs when he goes back.

Of course, let's not think about the earlier concealment of the drinking history due to fear that insurance wouldn't cover.

This patient has actually reached the standard of alcohol abuse, but Liu Banxia is confident in his ability to quit drinking.

Just as he said, there are lots of alcohol abusers in our country. Because of alcohol-induced criminal cases, there are even more.

Yet these things aren't something Liu Banxia can concern himself with—how much can his small frame bear? There are so many places selling alcohol, just stopping by a random shop reveals lots of alcohol for sale.

Stretching out wide, there's nothing much happening here, and those patients' families aren't making trouble, letting Liu Banxia relax a bit.

Otherwise, with all the chaos, don't expect a peaceful night at all.
