Chapter 898: Heart

Zuo Cidian walked over with a smile on his face.

He was not actually considered bigger. A report on the fire had already come out, and other departments with vacant beds had already helped out by taking in patients. They had also cleared out all the regular patients in the emergency room that they could.

1As for the patients who had just arrived, various departments were willing to take in those who were eligible to be transferred. Departments needed patients to operate, after all.

As for patients who were not eligible for transfer, they treated those who could be treated on the spot and turned away those who could not be treated on the spot.

Hence, compared to how busy a doctor usually was, Zuo Cidian was feeling very relaxed right now. Even though it was a little annoying to pass messages around, it was, after all, a less stressful affair. Zuo Cidian was even a little happy to see that Wang Chuanwen and Dean Wu were still in the emergency room.

This meant that they had the intention to donate for real. If they did not, forget about Wang Chuanwen who had a lot of time on his hands, Dean Wu definitely would not stay here until now.

When Zuo Cidian thought about how Ling Ran would have his personal ICU… no, when he thought about how the Emergency Medical Center would have its own ICU, he could not help but smile.

“Zuo Cidian, these are the three brothers of mine.” Wang Chuanwen moved aside and gestured at his three brothers. He then said, “Doctor Zuo, can you arrange for us to visit our third brother today?”

“No problem.” Zuo Cidian was an intelligent man, and he first agreed to the request. He then said to Wang Chuanwen’s three brothers, who were standing behind Wang Chuanwen. “A building had caught fire today, and many burn patients had been sent over. The people in the ICU are probably super busy now. Please wait for a whole, and I’ll ask an intern to see how the situation there is. If it’s convenient for them, we’ll go up there.”

The three brothers had seen how tense the atmosphere in the emergency room was. Wang Chuanwen’s second brother who was standing beside him said, “It’s okay. Since our third brother’s condition is stable, it doesn’t matter whether we visit him sooner or later.”

Zuo Cidian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was an amiable person. As they may make a donation, he took the initiative to get close to the Wang brothers. “Thank you for understanding. Actually, since Doctor Ling personally operated on Mr. Wang Chuanli, and the surgery went really well, you guys don’t have to worry too much… Hm, are you Mister Wang Chuanli’s older or younger brother?”

“I’m the second oldest in the family.”

Zuo Cidian hummed in acknowledgment, “Then, does it mean that you are Mister Wang Chuanwu?”

The expressions of the four Wang brothers who were standing in front of Zuo Cidian changed a little.

“Mister Zuo, you’re pretty imaginative.” The second Wang brother scratched his head and forced a smile.

Someone else would think that the second Wang brother was not able to flash a sincere smile because his brother was injured and he was not in a good mood. But Zuo Cidian was a clever man, and he realized that he might have made the wrong guess.

He did not mind that he had made a wrong guess as he was just trying to get close to the Wang brothers, anyway. He merely smiled and said, “You know, the older generation likes to talk about ‘ren’ (benevolence), ‘yi’ (righteousness), ‘li’ (etiquette), ‘zhi’ (wisdom) and ‘xin’ (belief). And you know how they always talk about how a man must be adept at both ‘wen’ (studies) and ‘wu’ (martial arts)? Among my extended relatives, quite a lot named their children in the order of ‘wen’, ‘wu’, ‘li’, ‘zhu’, and ‘xin’…”

“When I was born, I was so intelligent that I could beat Confucius.” The oldest in the family, Wang Chuanwen coughed a few times and said, “We are named in the order of ‘wen’ (wisdom), ‘ming’ (enlightenment), ‘li’ (etiquette), and ‘mao'(politeness).”

Zuo Cidian froze for a moment. That only totaled up to four names, right?

Zuo Cidian’s gaze floated past the oldest brother, Wang Chuanwen; the second brother, Wang Chuanming; and the fourth brother, Wang Chuanmao. His gaze fell upon the fifth and youngest brother, and he suddenly had a realization. ‘This man was an accident, wasn’t he? His parents didn’t even prepare a name for him!’

The fifth brother was rather young, and he had a fair complexion. He saw Zuo Cidian looking at him and said, “My name is Wang Chuanfu .”

The oldest brother, Wang Chuanwen whispered, “When our fifth brother was born, the economic reform had happened.”

……

When it was time for everyone to get off work, the hustle and bustle in the Emergency Medical Center had already died down.

Yun Hua Hospital had taken in more than twenty burn patients, and Huo Congjun’s treatment group had to work overtime for many hours. They also took half the manpower of other treatment groups.

A person could not expect burn patients to be taken care of by their family members. Not only that but burn patients who were kept under observation in the hospital had to be observed at all times. This was ten times more arduous for the medical staff members compared to taking care of ordinary patients.

Lu Wenbin and two housemen were called to help out in the Burn Center.

But because of how Ling Ran had worked at lightning speed, the number of patients in the emergency room had reduced greatly. Now, aside from some patients who required observation, most of the patients in the emergency room were those who fell under the scope of internal medicine.

This was when Zuo Cidian reported to Ling Ran. “The doctors in the ICU are slightly less busy now, and I am about to bring the four Wang brothers there to visit their brother. We should keep them happy, as they might just build an ICU for us. That would be great.”

Ling Ran did not really care about the first half of the sentence, but he could not help but get excited at the possibility of having his own ICU.

Even if a person were to disregard how complicated it was to run an ICU and how necessary an ICU was, if he were able to get an ICU with five beds inside, it would mean that he had five extra hospital beds at his disposal. If the ICU comprised of ten beds, it would mean that he had so many extra hospital beds that they could create three rooms in one ward!

The longer a doctor had worked in a hospital, the more he would care about the number of hospital beds. This was especially true in top tertiary Grade A hospitals like Yun Hua Hospital. It was not an understatement to say that it was hard to even find a vacant bed in the hospital. Some departments would even delegate the hospital beds to their associate chief physicians or even chief physicians, and this brought about a lot of competition.

“Let’s head there together. I can do my ward rounds while I’m at it,” Ling Ran decided.

Having his own ICU was an extremely important matter, and he did not mind making a trip to the ICU for it.

Zuo Cidian did not find it strange. He was not surprised either. He walked over to talk to the four Wang brothers about this. They then gathered and walked toward the ICU.

At this moment, the ICU was already full of patients.

The doctors and nurses were basically floating as they hurried around to administer all kinds of treatment while the patients who were suffering from various ailments lay in bed.

The four Wang brothers looked into ICU through the glass window and saw that both Wang Chuanli’s hands and legs were bound. They had no idea whether he was conscious or not, and they became so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pan as they stood outside the ICU.

“The visiting hours every day are fixed, and you guys can go in one by one to see him. But due to how busy the doctors are today, you can only stand here and look at him,” Zuo Cidian explained things to the Wang brothers in a whisper and stood aside.

Ling Ran stood aside too. Not only could he see the situation in the ICU, but he was also not blocking the Wang brothers’ view.

*Beep… Beep…*

The monitor in the ICU was letting out monotonous beeps, and they rang out through the glass door. The beeps were making the Wang brothers agitated.

“Big brother, how can this not be considered serious?” The fourth brother, Wang Chuanmao felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw his shirtless brother being tied up in bed all naked like that.

This was not the first time Wang Chuanwen had seen this. He said in a deep and profound tone, “He’s a lot better than how he used to be. Isn’t continuous recovery good enough?”

As if to authenticate what Wang Chuanwen had just said, the moment he finished speaking, one of the monitors in the ICU let out loud and violent beeps.

To the medical staff members in the ICU, this kind of beeps was a call to action.

A doctor hurried over in a few seconds. He took off his stethoscope as he said, “His BP and heart rate have fallen. Epinephrine, quick!”

As the doctor spoke, he started performing chest compressions.

To doctors working in the ICU, CPR was something they had to do almost every day. Even though the medical staff members were nervous, it was not to the point that the ICU descended into chaos.

“Octreotide…

“Continue administering epinephrine…

“Dopamine!” The doctor barked orders nonstop at his subordinate, and he did not stop performing chest compressions at the same time. But the line on the heart rate monitor was still as flat as an airplane runway.

As the four Wang brothers stood outside the ICU and looked at the scene, they were suddenly a little worried and terrified. But at the same time, they were also relieved.

At least, the loud and violent beeps were not ringing out of their third brother’s monitor.

“You can increase the dosage of the epinephrine.” Ling Ran grabbed the phone by the window and said.

When the young nurse who answered the call heard Ling Ran’s voice, she passed Ling Ran’s message without hesitation.

The attending physician in the ICU hesitated for a moment, but he decided to do as Ling Ran said.

The nurse increased the dosage of the epinephrine, and another doctor was the one who was crouching on the 40,000 RMB worth hospital bed and performing chest compressions right now. He immediately went aside and used the defibrillator again.

This time, the heart rate monitor let out a beep, and the patient regained his sinus rhythm.

The attending physician in the ICU could not help but look at Ling Ran and flashed a relatively friendly smile.

The patient was successfully resuscitated, and he did not really care about who took credit for it. What mattered the most was that it was a happy ending.

Ling Ran responded with a socially appropriate smile.

He possessed Perfect Level CPR, and this skill could really be put into good use when resuscitating patients in the CPR.

The four Wang brothers let out a sigh of relief. Their expressions had changed when they looked at Ling Ran again.

However, at this moment, Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows a little.

A new mission from the system had appeared before his eyes.

[Mission: Treat the Wounded and Sick]

[Mission Content: Resuscitate 10 patients in the ICU]
