Chapter 1286: This is a disaster now.
Xiao Yang warmly agreed with the family. As a young doctor who has recently started clinical practice, he also knows well the importance of treating such patients well. Long-term patients in the hospital are equivalent to long-term quality clients.
âThank you, doctor.â The patientâs family expressed their gratitude repeatedly, and as soon as they started talking with Xiao Yang, they seemed to forget about the Guoxie members who had helped bring the patient to the hospital earlier.
Seeing the situation, the Guoxie medical staff decided to leave. Sister Seo left in a hurry, as if she never got out of the car. Knowing this would happen, she climbed back into the ambulance early to check the emergency supplies and equipment inside, so they wouldnât have to wait when they needed to go out again.
Xin Yanjun brought two students to the patientâs bedside, continuing to wait for the medical staff here to finish measuring the patientâs blood pressure and ensure there were no other issues that needed to be handed over before they could leave.
Inside, the doctors were busy handing over the patient. The experienced Guoxie ambulance driver, Master Zhang, drove the ambulance a bit further and parked in the corner by the emergency entrance, ensuring he didnât block the hospitalâs emergency life-saving passage.
When not transporting patients, the ambulanceâs sirens and lights should not be on. Resting his foot on the brake, the ambulance sat quietly in the night like a regular vehicle. Taking the opportunity, Master Zhang leaned back in his seat to take a breather; the continuous dispatches tonight were exhausting.
As an ambulance driver, one must always stay focused and alert when driving, and the responsibility is much greater than that of an ordinary driver. This is because the ambulance carries important personnel, including medical staff and critically ill patients, and none of them can withstand the ordeal of a traffic accident.
Master Zhang felt a bit sleepy and couldnât help but yawn. Through his drowsy eyes, he vaguely saw a shadow flash past in the rearview mirror: âWas it a cat?â It seemed like something ran past the back of the ambulance. Master Zhang craned his neck to get closer to the mirror to identify the moving object.
Bang!
The sudden impact almost flipped the ambulance, and the force almost sent Master Zhangâs head crashing into the windshield. Luckily, he hadnât unbuckled his seatbelt while resting. The seatbelt pulled him back to his seat in time, preventing severe injury to his body and head.
âWhat happened?!â Regaining his senses, Master Zhang was anxious; this clearly seemed like an ambulance accident. Lifting his head to look at the rearview mirror again, this time a silver-gray minivan was clearly reflected behind the ambulance.
The ambulance had been rear-ended!
To park in front of the hospitalâs emergency department only to be rear-ended was simply a disaster from the skies. Master Zhang cursed and leaped out of the driverâs seat, shouting: âHow are you driving? This is an ambulance, carrying the injured, and you dare to hit it?â
The driver of the silver-gray minivan didnât get out. Looking through the car window, it was a young man, seemingly a novice driver. After the accident, he sat gripping the steering wheel, afraid to move.
Seeing this, the ambulance driver Master Zhang panicked, rushed over to check the situation, murmuring: âCould he be hurt?â
He wasnât hurt from the rear-end, but if the person who hit was hurt, it would be hard to explain. Master Zhang quickly dialed the police, walked to the minivan, and knocked on the door, asking the young driver: âCan you get out yourself?â
The right side of the silver-gray minivanâs front was dented, but the cab was untouched, and the door wasnât deformed, so the driver should be able to get out. What exactly happened in that collision earlier that left the young driver sitting in the seat like a statue?
Master Zhang felt the manâs expression was quite off, thinking it might be best to find a doctor to check on him. After all, being at the emergency department entrance, a doctor could be found anytime. Turning back for another glance at the ambulanceâs damage, unsurprisingly, the rear-end had caused body deformation, just like the minivanâs front, with the left side of the ambulance body dented.
Calling the police was necessary. Once the accidentâs responsibilities were clarified, the hospital could take the ambulance for insurance claims and repair. An ambulance is costly, and Guoxieâs ambulance is imported and costs nearly a million, far more expensive than an ordinary sedan.
Taking a few steps towards entering the emergency department, Master Zhang suddenly saw someone lying on the ground. At that moment, he finally understood why the young van driver seemed so baffled.
