BXBX NOVEL Chapter 306 - 307: Husband and Wife, A Matched Pair!
After all, who has the ability to perform a “blind pericardiocentesis” in such a situation to relieve cardiac tamponade!
That’s too risky!
And way too bold.
But it was indeed the absolutely right choice.
To tell the truth, the three directors really didn’t know how to judge Chen Cang’s actions.
Is this what they call a hero shaped by the circumstances?
In that kind of environment, one had to make a decisive choice.
And Chen Cang had just the right capacity to do so.
Only then was the patient able to be saved.
…
…
Outside the emergency room, a woman got off her electric scooter, and without even taking the time to park it properly, she hurried toward the emergency room!
Even when she heard the “clang” of her electric scooter falling over, she didn’t look back.
She was a woman known for her thriftiness.
But it was such a woman who kept the family going.
At this moment, however, she focused all her thoughts on this man; nothing else counted!
Niu Hui’s heart was filled with trepidation. The normally assertive woman suddenly felt as though she had lost her support.
She thought she was a strong, independent woman, but at this moment, when she heard the news, she felt as if the sky had fallen!
Car accident!
Shock!
Resuscitation!
Critical condition!
Several terms kept swirling in her head, terrifying her to the core!
She carried all her valuables with her: twenty thousand in cash, ID card, mobile phone, bank cards, and even the jewelry her husband had bought her when they got married.
What this woman could do was simple; she just wanted to do everything she could to save her husband, to keep her sky.
At this moment, she didn’t blame him for drinking, for returning home late, or for liking to play mobile games at home.
As long as you’re alive, everything’s fine!
Before the tears could flow from her eyes, Niu Hui wiped them away with a swift motion of her hand.
She couldn’t cry at this time; she knew that if she cried, who would watch over the home?
He was indeed just an ordinary man,
Not a superhero,
Not strikingly handsome,
Not overflowing with talent,
Even somewhat greasy in middle age!
But… he’s my husband, the one I deeply love, the sky of this home.
With that thought, Niu Hui pushed open the emergency room door and rushed in.
The bustling emergency room did not slow its frenzied pace because of Niu Hui’s arrival.
After rushing in, Niu Hui hurriedly approached the nurse station, “Doctor, I am Sun Sheng’s wife, how… how is he now?”
Nurse Tan Zhonglin, upon hearing this, quickly said, “Please wait a moment, the victim is still undergoing necessary tests. Dr. Chen, the family member is here!”
With the help of the police, Chen Cang and the others had learned that the victim was named Sun Sheng, a local, and various pieces of information had also been compiled.
Now they were just waiting for the test results to come back to prepare for the surgery!
Chen Cang hurried over and said to Niu Hui, “Hello, I am Chen Cang, I was the one who called you earlier.”
Niu Hui nodded and quickly said, “Dr. Chen, hello… how is my husband doing?”
After she spoke, she looked at Chen Cang with hope, her heart filled with anxiety.
It was as if she were waiting for a verdict!
Chen Cang then explained, “The victim’s condition is now relatively stable. Let me explain the details to you: the victim’s frontal ribs fractured in the car accident, causing damage to the blood vessels within the pericardium, and a large amount of blood rushed into the pericardial cavity, leading to cardiac tamponade. The situation was critical, so I performed an emergency pericardiocentesis.
Although the cardiac tamponade has been relieved, we are not yet certain if there is any damage to the heart or other blood vessels, and there is still blood in the pericardial cavity. A thoracotomy is needed for a clearer diagnosis and better treatment, but this does not mean there are no risks.”
“So all I can tell you right now is that the patient is temporarily stable.”
After explaining, Chen Cang continued, “Right, here’s the informed consent form, the surgery notification…you need to help sign it.”
As Chen Cang spoke, a nurse from the emergency room hurried out, “Dr. Chen, the patient Sun Sheng has woken up!”
Those words made Niu Hui’s face light up with joy.
Oftentimes, family members have the idea that waking up means recovery. Upon hearing that her husband had woken up, Niu Hui looked at Chen Cang anxiously, “Can I go in to see him?”
Chen Cang nodded, “Come with me.”
Chen Cang figured that unless there was something special, the patient should have woken up by now, as the shock he suffered was a hypotensive shock due solely to cardiac tamponade. Given the time that had passed, it was about time for him to wake.
While speaking, Chen Cang led Niu Hui into the emergency room.
The vitals on the monitor looked very normal, and Chen Cang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And Niu Hui, seeing Sun Sheng lying on the bed, immediately burst into tears.
“Husband… you’re okay, aren’t you…” Niu Hui couldn’t hold back her sobs, choking up as she stood to the side, tears streaming down her face.
But Niu Hui, not understanding medicine, didn’t dare to touch Sun Sheng, fearing that she might cause a problem.
At this moment, Sun Sheng, seeing his wife cry like a tearful figure, felt a softness in his heart, “Wife… I’m sorry…I…”
Sun Sheng wanted to apologize, but Niu Hui quickly stopped him, “Husband, don’t talk. Do you know… you scared me to death. What would the child and I do without you!”
“You have to get better, okay? I beg you, no more drinking, please…”
Watching his wife so emotional, Sun Sheng wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, tears involuntarily flowed down.
Seeing his usually strong wife crying like a child, Sun Sheng’s guilt was unspeakable.
And as she watched her husband lying on the emergency room bed, Niu Hui’s heart was filled with gratitude.
This family wouldn’t work without any of them.
A woman’s “strength” is built upon having a man who stands tall for her.
A man’s “immaturity” comes from having a woman who cares for him meticulously, considering every detail for him all the time.
Together, they make a family!
After chatting for a bit, Chen Cang received a call from the nurse in the operating room, ready to start the surgery at any moment.
Having obtained signatures on the consent form from both parties, Chen Cang wheeled the patient into the operating room.
…
…
Meanwhile, directors like Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and others were discussing fervently in the operating room’s office.
Tao Zi, full of curiosity, said, “I’m finding Chen Cang more and more inscrutable. This young man is really too outstanding, I don’t even know how to evaluate him now!”
“I think he is a born surgeon! Old Li, tell us about it. How was he trained?”
Li Baoshan’s face was expressionless. Not just Tao Zi, even he was starting to find Chen Cang hard to read.
Because Chen Cang had always kept a low profile.
He never showed off his abilities, but whenever the department faced a problem, Chen Cang was always able to resolve it smoothly, solving various issues.
Thinking of this, Li Baoshan suddenly became curious.
What is it that Chen Cang can’t do?
For appendicitis surgery, he developed a method for minimally invasive appendectomy!
For gallbladder surgery, he performed complicated cholecystectomies so well, he even personally operated on Director Fang, reminding Li Baoshan of the time when Zhang Youfu expressed his admiration.
Director Tan Zhonglin and Director An Yanjun from hand surgery were enchanted by his tendon suturing technique!
And that rebar injury case he recently handled, excellent repair work on the trachea and esophagus in thoracic surgery…
What other skills is Chen Cang hiding?
Seeing Li Baoshan with a stern face and not speaking, Tao Zi thought Li was worried about him snatching Chen Cang away, and sarcastically said, “Come on, Old Li, say something. It’s not like I’m trying to steal Chen Cang from you. I’m just really curious. How did the emergency department train him?”
Li Baoshan cleared his throat. How would he know!
To lie was not Li Baoshan’s style. Rather than doing that, it was better to remain silent, which made him seem more mysterious.
