Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Emergency Code 999—A Life-and-Death Negotiation with King Yama
Everyone was watching the group messages while talking.
Those who weren’t in the group came over to watch the fun.
"Alright, alright, I don’t have that kind of skill. It was Teacher Zhang who did it. At the time, I couldn’t stop the femoral artery bleeding at all."
He Xiaohong looked completely haggard.
Today, he almost faced a devastating psychological blow to his career—Sixth Uncle died right in front of him.
So he kept replaying it in his mind.
If the other person wasn’t a military doctor, then how on earth did they manage to stop the femoral artery bleeding so precisely with bare hands, such a ridiculous move?
"Ah???
"What the hell???"
"Brother Hong, you must be joking!"
As soon as these words came out.
The ten or twenty people who had been noisy just now were all stunned.
Especially the young nurse, her wide eyes looked at He Xiaohong.
Teacher Zhang is a veterinarian.
A veterinarian stopping bleeding, must be kidding!
"Do you think I look like I’m joking? If I had really stopped Sixth Uncle’s femoral artery bleeding, wouldn’t I be bragging to you all??"
He Xiaohong asked gloomily.
"True enough."
Some people who met for the first time didn’t know what kind of person He Xiaohong was.
But some were his schoolmates, so they knew his personality very well.
Normally, having done such a big deed, it’s unlikely he’d be this downcast.
After all, for an intern, saving a dying life single-handedly is the highest glory.
"Senior He, was it really Dr. Zhang who stopped the femoral artery bleeding? But he’s a veterinarian, how could he know about human emergency aid!"
A nursing student asked in doubt.
Her expression clearly showed disbelief, but she also felt it was unlikely that Senior He would lie.
"Yeah, Brother Hong, what exactly happened on the mountain, could you tell us in detail?"
With her question, all eyes turned in that direction.
And asking what exactly happened on the mountain.
"Sigh, at the time, I was running with gauze to the foot of the mountain. When I smelled the strong scent of blood, I realized it must have cut an artery, so I quickly rushed to midway up the mountain. There, Sixth Uncle was already faint and unconscious, and Sixth Aunt was using her hand and clothes to block his thigh. I took a look and thought, oh no, it’s femoral artery bleeding!!"
He Xiaohong described the scene truthfully.
After all, it was Dr. Zhang who saved Sixth Uncle, and he couldn’t lie and take the credit, that would definitely be unforgivable.
"That’s right, when we were at the foot of the mountain, we also smelled the blood. We originally thought it was the foot artery, but when we saw it was the femoral artery, it shocked us."
"What happened later, Brother Hong?"
...
The incident of a chainsaw cutting the foot artery, although rare, is not unheard of, but cutting the femoral artery is truly outrageous.
After He Xiaohong said this, the hearts of everyone present were raised, wanting to know what happened next.
"Later, I wanted to find the severed artery to stop the bleeding, but there was too much blood, a whole sheet of red, and after looking for about ten seconds, I still couldn’t stop it. At that time, Sixth Uncle had already gone into shock, and I knew that if this went on, he would definitely die! So I directly used another packing method to stop the bleeding!"
As He Xiaohong spoke, the scene from that time instantly flashed in his mind, and his mood grew heavier.
"And the packing didn’t stop it??"
After he spoke, everyone inquired.
"No, it didn’t stop."
He Xiaohong shook his head, back then he was truly at a point of utter despair.
Just watching as his relative’s life slipped away in his hands.
"Oh my God!"
Everyone felt like countless tiny bubbles were rising in their bodies, their faces heating up quickly, their bodies tingling as if they had been electrocuted!
After all, how desperate must it have been in such a situation.
"Then Dr. He, you couldn’t stop it, how did Dr. Zhang do it at all? I remember he also had nothing just a pair of disposable gloves, right!"
Everyone’s emotions were stirred up.
Through He Xiaohong’s words.
It was as if everyone was personally at the emergency scene, witnessing He Xiaohong’s despair unable to stop the bleeding.
"I was dumbfounded too! When I saw Teacher Zhang coming, I shouted in despair, ’The bleeding won’t stop, Teacher Zhang...’ then Teacher Zhang said he’d give it a try."
At this, He Xiaohong paused.
Originally walking slowly.
At this moment, everyone on the scene stopped, their gaze fell on He Xiaohong.
Everyone was too eager to know what happened next.
How Dr. Zhang did it.
Managed to stop the femoral artery bleeding.
He Xiaohong looked at all the gazes directed at him, knowing that if he didn’t continue speaking, he’d probably be beaten to death, so he kept talking.
"Then I don’t know what happened in my mind at the time, it was probably like treating a dying horse as if it were alive, you know, so I let Teacher Zhang give it a try. And guess what, when Teacher Zhang put on disposable gloves, damn, he directly stuck his hand into my Sixth Uncle’s thigh wound, damn, he actually stopped the bleeding with his bare hands! And damn, he really stopped it!!!"
At this point, He Xiaohong’s voice rose several decibels.
And it was full of astonishment!!
"Stopped the bleeding with bare hands!!"
"A veterinarian stopped the bleeding with bare hands?"
"Did I hear this right, a veterinarian stopped the bleeding with bare hands and actually succeeded?!"
"Impossible! Brother Hong, are you trying to fool us? Stopping the bleeding with bare hands requires extreme precision, especially the femoral artery."
Almost everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
They commented one after another.
"Do you think I’m making this up? Think carefully, at first, I was like you, there to debunk, I have no vested interest with Teacher Zhang. Why would I create a myth about him for no reason? Besides, you guys fetched the medical kit, and the only thing we had other than our hands was nothing professional."
He Xiaohong countered.
"Well, that’s true..."
"But it’s just too outrageous. Not to be rude, even senior emergency department teachers find stopping femoral artery bleeding with bare hands very difficult, unless they have a military medical background, only then might it be possible. How did Dr. Zhang do it!"
Everyone believed it.
But they were puzzled as to how Zhang Lingchuan accomplished it.
Even for an emergency teacher, stopping bleeding with bare hands is very hard.
This is purely a technical skill.
"So, yeah! I’m questioning my life, guys! After the rescue, it’s not psychological imbalance, it’s bewilderment from experiencing such a thing, seeing a veterinarian stop the bleeding with bare hands bewildered me, kept thinking about how Teacher Zhang did it, until I came up with another possibility, do you guys think it’s possible that Teacher Zhang is a veterinarian from the army!!"
He Xiaohong suggested.
Simultaneously, a glimmer shone in his eyes.
Although Teacher Zhang didn’t admit it, what if it’s confidential!
"Army veterinarian?"
"Holy shit! That actually makes sense!!"
"That’s it, that’s it!!!"
The men shuddered.
"What’s the difference between an army veterinarian and a regular veterinarian??"
The women looked a bit stunned.
They each asked curiously.
They really didn’t know the difference between an army veterinarian and a regular veterinarian.
"They’re basically military doctors! Because the primary task of military doctors is to keep people alive, all sorts of unconventional methods that treat people like animals got them nicknamed veterinarians."
Indeed, a well-meaning man immediately explained!
"Stop, stop!!"
In an instant, the women’s eyes lit up!!
Time quickly reached 11:20 in the morning.
An ambulance sped to a stop at the entrance of the Qing County People’s Hospital emergency hall.
A few seconds later, a stretcher was swiftly carried out of the ambulance.
A nurse accompanying them was jogging while holding an IV bottle high.
Next to them was a very slim, sun-darkened woman, looking pale as if a gust of wind could knock her over!!
"Deputy Director Song, how is it!"
The emergency department had already arranged people to wait.
"Not good, the patient has lost a massive amount of blood, nearly three-quarters of their body volume, and is in severe shock. The current heart rate is already down to 30 beats per minute, and there have been two cardiac arrests!!!"
Song Min spoke anxiously!!
"What! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"
Everyone present was thunderstruck!!
"Adult ER resuscitation room, First Floor, 999!!"
"Adult ER resuscitation room, First Floor, 999!!!"
After a moment.
Everyone at the Qingshan County People’s Hospital was stunned for a second because a code blue was actually broadcast throughout the hospital.
Soon everyone witnessed a scene rarely seen, where many healthcare personnel in white coats quickly ran to the first floor emergency hall.
Subsequently, elite forces from the emergency department director, general surgery director, vascular surgery director, critical care medicine department, and surgical anesthesia department were all dispatched!
Femoral artery rescue is not uncommon in clinical practice, but due to the large amount of blood loss, rapid speed, and difficulty in resuscitation, the mortality rate is extremely high.
So everyone knew.
This was going to be a confrontation with King Yama!!
