313 Life-saving (2/2)

As he spoke, Xiao Luo pierced the syringe through the old man's chest. ”The patient has cerebral thrombosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and acrophobia. These problems were exacerbated by the aircraft's low cabin pressure, which caused him to lose consciousness,” he continued to explain.

As the crowd listened to what Xiao Luo said, they felt relieved and thought that the young intern seemed quite knowledgeable.

But after the first needle was inserted, the old man coughed violently and spat blood, spraying the inside of the oxygen mask red. The old man's face went pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

”Old man!!!”

The old woman shrieked in anguish, losing control of her emotions.

The atmosphere in the entire first-class cabin was tense. And doubts once again emerged in the eyes of those observing Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo ignored them all and removed a second syringe from its air-sealed packing. He found another point and slowly inserted the needle.

”Blood pressure is at 150,” Tan Ningfu said.

Then, the old man's body trembled and twitched violently, once again coughing out several mouthfuls of blood.

”Oh god, you're in big trouble, my friend.”

Wang Yanzu was anxious for Xiao Luo, and he kept on stomping the cabin floor. After some thought, he felt that he'd be better off severing all ties with Xiao Luo. He slowly backed away to avoid being dragged into the incident.

”Blood pressure is at 160, and it is still rising!” A hint of panic was detected in Tan Ningfu's voice.

”Is he going to recover or not?”

”This won't be happening if he is. Look, the old man has vomited blood.”

”Well, he's just a trainee doctor.”

Voices of doubt came from everywhere, and despite being mere whispers, Xiao Luo's ears picked up every word.

Xiao Luo ignored them completely and concentrated on depressurizing the old man's chest cavity. Sweat trickled down his forehead, as this work was more exhausting than any other, requiring long periods of full concentration. After the third needle was inserted, the old man's condition gradually stabilized. His blood pressure was steadily dropping and finally stabilized around 100. The old man's complexion improved substantially, slowly regaining a liveliness to his skin.

Huh? He did it!

Everyone was startled. It was only a moment ago when the old man looked like he was going to kick the bucket. How did his condition suddenly stabilize? What happened?

Xiao Luo didn't feel the need to explain, and he just wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up. ”The patient's condition has stabilized. When we arrive at Xiahai Airport, get him to a hospital immediately. He will receive comprehensive care there,” he told the purser, ”and, by the way, try to give him as much space as possible. Keep the air flowing around here.”

The purser nodded. ”Okay, and thank you,” she said.

”Old man, you're awake, you really scared me there.”

The old woman held the old man tightly in her arms, she had nearly lost him. Then, she looked kindly upon Xiao Luo and expressed her deepest gratitude, ”Thank you, doctor, thank you so much.”

Xiao Luo smiled, then turned around and returned to his own seat.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The purser took the initiative to lead a round of applause for Xiao Luo.

The applause carried on for a while, and all passengers in the first-class cabin had nothing but admiration for the young intern, and broad smiles on their faces.

Suddenly, Wang Yanzu appeared again. He looked cheerful as he laughed and said, ”This is my brother, my good old brother, Xiao Luo.”

Shamelessly, he stood by the hero of the moment and shared in the adulations.
