Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: Proven Right

“It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be nervous.” Zhang Huayao said to the child, using his right hand to stabilize the laryngoscope, while his left hand gently held the child’s small face to keep it still. “Come on, look at uncle, there’s nothing to be afraid of. We’ll take you to the hospital in a bit and remove the thing inside.”

Sisi’s little eyes were forced to roll slightly, focusing on the stubbled chin of the uncle in front of her, her pupils widening in surprise: Uncle, are you telling the truth or not? The more I listen, the more scared I get. Remove what?

“Remove the cotton you inhaled.” Zhang Huayao said, taking this moment to give the child a warning, hoping she’d remember this bloody lesson for a lifetime. After all, several doctors were watching the scene, making it impossible for the child to cause any more commotion.

That said, this child should be most grateful not to him, her uncle, but to the young lady holding the forceps.

The child was so fortunate, as her breathing stopped for less than half a minute before the doctors saved her, preventing any brain damage, and she quickly regained consciousness, proving this point.

Zhang Huayao looked again at the clock on the wall and exchanged glances with Fu Xinheng to verify the previous rescue time, needing to reassess the child’s heart and brain damage status: “How long did you press?”

“I did two sets of fifteen compressions, the total time should be less than thirty seconds.” Fu Xinheng said with precise numbers as he had to count for himself during the procedure.

Zhang Huayao had no doubts about the numbers he mentioned because this person was nicknamed Robot.

The few doctors exchanged glances again, confirming one certain thing: if the child had been sent to the hospital earlier, they definitely wouldn’t have made it in time. There wouldn’t have been the conditions to remove the foreign object on the way to the hospital.

A 120 ambulance dispatch would mean professional doctors come? Although they called 120, Guozhi Hospital’s ambulance was dispatched, yet there was no sign of the ambulance.

As the director of the Guozhi Hospital Emergency Department, Zhang Huayao knew better than anyone the exact time it would take for their hospital staff to arrive, saying, “If they come, it certainly won’t be less than forty or fifty minutes to get here.”

This time was much longer than the twenty-plus minute driving distance the nurse mentioned.

“They have to take a detour. The middle road is under construction.” Zhang Huayao said.

City road construction is a common occurrence, and for an ambulance racing to save a life, it is the most frightening black swan.

“Other hospitals are also quite far from here.” Fu Xinheng thought the same. When their Department of Stomatology Building site was chosen, it was placed in a relatively remote area by city government arrangement, far from prime commercial zones. The leadership at Guoxie could only think that although it’s far from their main hospital, it’s somewhat closer to Guozhi, their sister hospital, leaving the hospital with nothing to say.

The more remote areas don’t lack hospitals entirely, but powerful large hospitals are necessarily fewer.

Now, the entire rescue for the child took twenty minutes, proving they were correct. Following the guidelines, if possible, a choking child should first be resuscitated on-site.

As Zhang Huayao and Fu Xinheng spoke, just like Cao Yong, they did not take their eyes off Xie Wanying.

Xie Wanying continued her operation, unable to pay attention to what the mentors were discussing. She had to ensure the half block of cotton was pushed into the right bronchus and confirmed it was no longer blocking the left bronchus and tracheal bifurcation before withdrawing the forceps.
