Chapter 408 - 408 Notification to return to the hospital

Chapter 408: Notification to return to the hospital Chapter 408: Notification to return to the hospital Immediately, he sprinted toward the operating room.

Upon arriving at the door, Lu Tianchi glanced at the situation and, without asking, ran to the operating room to start preparing.

At the same time, Ren Chongda had explained the situation to Fu Xinheng over the phone.

After listening, Fu Xinheng replied in his usual cold, emotionless tone, “Drank alcohol and got a fishbone stuck without feeling it? As medical students, you lack any sense of awareness. Daring to perform first aid on others in such a condition? You think you’re invincible, when in fact it’s clear you’re just asking to have a doctor’s knife on you as a newbie.”

“We’re talking about medical students here,” Ren Chongda said, noting the teacher understood the situation and hadn’t scolded them. Only Huang Zhilei had chattered away like a young person.

“Who’s there?”

“Cao Yong and Tan Kelin are here, and so is that Zhou Junpeng below.”

“Okay, I’m getting dressed and heading out now, I’m not sure if I’ll need about an hour to get to the hospital because I can hear it’s pouring rain outside. You go ahead and inform our cardiothoracic surgeon, Doctor Fang, to be on standby in the operating room. He is in charge of extracorporeal circulation for our department, and we’ll need him if there’s an issue with the heart. He should still be at the ward tonight watching over a patient and likely hasn’t left. Doctor Yang lives even further than I do, so notifying your classmate Zhu Huicang will get someone there faster. I can’t possibly perform such a major surgery on her by myself.”

True to his nickname ‘Robot,’ he dressed and left with clarity of thought at all times. Ren Chongda made an effort to remember the key points he was told.

“Pass the phone to Dr. Cao, I need to speak with him.”

Following the instruction, Ren Chongda handed Zhou Junpeng’s phone over to Cao Yong.

At that moment, the gurney arrived, and a group of people helped move the patient onto it and rushed her to the CT room for a scan. Tan Kelin and Cao Yong followed. They were heading to the CT room to assess the situation with the fishbone firsthand.

Xie Wanying stood up, only to be pushed back down into her seat by Teacher Ren.

“You sit still and don’t cause any trouble,” Ren Chongda scolded, pointing at her face, “I don’t even know if you’ve got a fishbone stuck like she does.”

“I haven’t, Teacher Ren.”

“I don’t believe a word you say.” Scared out of his wits, Ren Chongda now just needed the students to sit tight and appear alright to him.

“Teacher Ren, you need to call Doctor Fang and Teacher Zhu.” Unable to follow, Xie Wanying reminded the instructor.

How could she be calmer and remember every detail better than him, her teacher? As Ren Chongda took out his phone to make a call, he frowned at the sight of her face, which seemed to have completely calmed down.

Calling Zhu Huicang, Zhu Huicang’s reaction was even more explosive than Fu Xinheng’s, “What did you say? Fishbone? If it pierces the aorta that’s life-threatening! Did you start a blood transfusion?”

“We did, we did. Cao Yong and Tan Kelin are with her—”

“Who else have you notified?”

“Fu Xinheng, he said he’s on his way out.”

“Okay, okay, I’m on my way now, have Cao Yong stabilize her. He can handle it, he’s operated on such cases before, he roughly knows what to do. Judging from the situation you described, I think it’s a sudden puncture, and that’s troublesome, created a hole, lucky she hasn’t had major bleeding. But by the time we get back, it might be too late. Cao Yong and Tan Kelin have to find a way to stop the bleeding and hold out until we arrive—” Zhu Huicang spoke, word by word.

Sweat beads formed on Ren Chongda’s forehead, the clearer his old classmate explained, the more panicked he became.

“Have you notified her family?” Zhu Huicang asked.

“Notify what family? The school doesn’t even know yet. I was halfway through a call with Director Jiang when suddenly they said they were performing a rescue, and I ran back first,” Ren Chongda said, “I won’t talk any longer.”
