Chapter 30 - The Heart of Compassion: Let Me Handle It

Chapter 30. The Heart of Compassion: Let Me Handle ItEmergency. Over here, in the emergency department, Lin Feng and the medical staff were conducting rounds.

Since the department head was absent, Vice Director Xie Yunxiang took charge. He had spent over 30 years in the emergency department, a seasoned veteran who kept a low profile. However, he never managed to become the department head.

“Patient in Bed 1, Lu Zhaobao, chronic gastritis. Administer 1.0g of Amoxicillin intravenously to prevent infection…”

“Patient in Bed 2, Yang Tengyun, incompatible combination with Vitamin C and Inosine, avoid co-administration…”

“Patient in Bed 3…”

They went through each bed…

If any attending doctor or nurse couldn’t answer, they would face criticism.

The interns, with their lowly status, were the most miserable. Due to their lack of experience, it was easy for their mistakes to be discovered, resulting in severe criticism from Vice Director Xie. Four interns had already been scolded to the point of humiliation.

One intern had it the worst. During rounds, their phone rang, and Vice Director Xie scolded them mercilessly, leaving them utterly embarrassed.

Ring, ring, ring~~~

At that moment, Lin Feng’s phone rang.

Everyone looked over. Lin Feng calmly silenced the phone.

Ring, ring, ring~~~

The phone persistently continued ringing.

Vice Director Xie smiled and said, “Answer it, it’s fine…”

The other interns: “……………”

The difference in treatment was too great?!

They couldn’t help but burst into tears!

“I’m sorry…” Lin Feng apologized with a guilty expression and walked to the side to answer the call.

“Hello, Lin Feng. Are you available? Can you come with me to Eighth City Hospital?”

“Ah? Dr. Qian?”

“It’s me. At Eighth City Hospital, we have a case of explosive myocarditis. We’re bringing the ECMO machine from our ICU. If you have the time, you can come with me and take a look.”

“Well…”

Lin Feng wanted to go. Explosive myocarditis was a relatively rare but life-threatening condition. As a skilled individual like Lin Feng, witnessing such a case firsthand was quite appealing.

Lin Feng looked at Vice Director Xie Yunxiang.

Lin Feng was delighted and thanked Vice Director Xie, saying, “Thank you, Vice Director!”

At that moment, Lin Feng could feel the resentful and envious gazes of the interns around him.

Background music started playing: “We’re Different~~”

The ambulance, carrying Dr. Qian, Lin Feng, the ICU medical staff, and the ECMO equipment, quickly arrived at Eighth City Hospital. The emergency doctors from Eighth City Hospital had been waiting outside the main entrance, guiding the ICU team from First City Hospital.

— The vehicle came to a stop.

The group swiftly disembarked and rushed into the emergency department, carrying the ECMO equipment (already disassembled).

“Huh, Lin Feng?”

One intern was surprised upon seeing Lin Feng.

“Wang Qiang?”

Lin Feng looked at his old classmate in astonishment.

Wang Qiang had a crew cut, thick glasses, and a kind and honest demeanor. He was Lin Feng’s classmate, and although they weren’t particularly close, they had a friendly relationship.

“Are you at the Emergency Department of City Hospital Eight?” Lin Feng asked, surprised.

“Yeah… Are you in the ICU at City Hospital One?” Wang Qiang looked at Lin Feng with envy written all over his face.

Lin Feng corrected, “No, I’m also in the Emergency Department at City Hospital One!”

Wang Qiang: “???”

He looked bewildered.

Wang Qiang: “Wait, weren’t you here to save that little boy with fulminant myocarditis?”

Lin Feng: “Yes.”

Wang Qiang: “Isn’t that the ICU team?”

Lin Feng: “But I’m just an emergency medicine intern…”

Wang Qiang: “………………”

Still puzzled, Wang Qiang wanted to ask, but Director Qian was already calling, “Lin Feng, come here.”

Lin Feng: “Alright.”

And he quickly rushed over. Leaving Wang Qiang in utter confusion, he felt overwhelmed as if his brain couldn’t process it. How could an emergency medicine intern run to this side of City Hospital No. 8 with the ICU team?

Wang Qiang followed along, attempting to join the crowd and observe forcefully. However, the emergency doctor looked at him with disdain, as if saying, “There are too many people here. Get out!”

Wang Qiang: “……………..”

That disdainful look, these interns had experienced too much of it.

Looking at Lin Feng again, he was called over by a distinguished-looking doctor to discuss the patient’s condition.

Wang Qiang was dumbfounded.

…

Lin Feng had no idea about his classmate Wang Qiang’s thought process.

At this moment, he was observing the young boy in front of him, who appeared to be on the verge of collapse. It appeared that the young boy was in critical condition. He was barely conscious, his heartbeat was nearing cessation, and his blood pressure was so low that it was almost unmeasurable.

Meanwhile, the patient’s family members were sobbing and crying, severely disrupting the treatment process. They had already been asked to leave the Emergency Department.

Dr. Huang, the head of City Hospital No. 8’s emergency department, quickly briefed them on the case: coughing up pink foamy sputum, severe dyspnea, loss of consciousness, and serious breathing difficulties…

Dr. Qian picked up various test reports—ECG, imaging—and, after looking at them, handed them to Lin Feng, saying, “Take a look.”

Lin Feng nodded and, without hesitation, started examining each report…

As for the other ICU doctors and nurses from City Hospital No. 1 were swiftly assembling the ECMO machine.

From the emergency department, Dr. Huang glanced at Lin Feng in surprise, wondering, “Who is this young fellow?”

(Outside, Wang Qiang looked utterly bewildered: “?????”)

Dr. Qian and Lin Feng finished reviewing all the reports one minute later.

Dr. Qian: “My diagnosis is also fulminant myocarditis.”

Lin Feng: “I have the same opinion. We need to start ECMO immediately.”

Dr. Qian: “You’ll do it? Are you confident?”

Lin Feng nodded: “No problem. I’ve done ECMO once before, and I can set up the arteriovenous access in 10 minutes this time!”

Dr. Qian was astonished!

10 minutes?

Even with the expertise of City Hospital No. 1’s ICU team, it would take at least 20 minutes with full cooperation.

In fact, at first, Lin Feng thought he could just observe silently once he arrived, but as a top doctor with extensive world-class experience, he couldn’t stand idly by when faced with a life on the brink of death.

He believed that by taking action himself, they could be faster, seize more time for resuscitation, and increase the chances of the young boy’s survival.

So, impulsively, he volunteered to join the operation. Director Qian pondered the classic case of Director Zhou Guorong’s ECMO surgery performed by Lin Feng. He felt confident that Lin Feng would not disappoint him. Even if it fails, he can still remedy the situation.

“Alright, it’s your turn!”
