Chapter 377 - Young And Audacious (1/2)

The crowd gasped in shock.

However, the patient’s spouse remained unresponsive, her eyes empty and lifeless.

“Hey, Feiyi. Old Hai is fine!” One of her friends shook her by the shoulders in astonishment.

The woman still had an ashen look on her face, looking afar blankly, blocking all her senses.

Zheng Ren let out a sigh; he had seen this condition before. Her unresponsiveness was the result of an innate behavior to protect ourselves from intense shock or psychological distress.

“Sigh,” Zheng Ren shook his head. “What about other family members? Anyone who can sign, submit payment, and follow me to complete the paperwork?”

Once they heard his request for payment and signature, half of the crowd dispersed.

Only a few people remained, but most of them looked hesitant.

“Doctor, I’ll do it,” the patient’s younger cousin brother came up to Zheng Ren.

“Get someone to hold the elevator. Take the patient to the ICU after they push him out.

“You, follow me.” Zheng Ren led the guys into the fire escape.

“Doctor, is my cousin brother really alright?” The young man was still trying to digest the information.

He was one of the witnesses at the scene. The patient fell to the ground after being stabbed in the chest. It was obvious that he should be dead.

When he arrived at Sea City General Hospital later, the things he heard also confirmed his suspicion.

Now, this young doctor was saying that he was fine…

It was incredible.

“Yes, the patient’s going to live for the time being,” Zheng Ren said, “However, the patient’s heart stopped beating for some time before we managed to resuscitate him. The lack of oxygen might cause irreversible brain damage. Also, the emergency rescue was carried out in a hurry due to the urgency, so the postoperative infection might be rather extensive, but other than that, he’s alive now.”

“…” The patient’s cousin was stunned.

His body followed Zheng Ren forward, but his legs remained rooted.

He instantly lost control and rolled down the stairs.

My G.o.d… Zheng Ren was too late to grab hold of him.

“Are you okay?” Zheng Ren asked.

“Doctor, will my brother be in a coma?” Life and death situations were new to this young man. Even the experiences of a seasoned man might pale in comparison to what Zheng Ren dealt with on a daily basis.

What Zheng Ren said terrified him.

“Theoretically, the chances of him being in a coma are slim,” Zheng Ren said, “Let’s go. Follow me to complete the admission procedures and proceed to payment. Otherwise, if he can’t get the medication he needs after surgery, he’ll never wake up.”

Zheng Ren sounded as if he was exaggerating, but it was not entirely untrue.

When the brain is deprived of oxygen for five to ten minutes, even if they manage to save the patient, the brain would be seriously damaged and be subjected to irreversible injury. By then, the chances of the patient going into a vegetative state would be almost 100%.

Fortunately, Zheng Ren was very decisive. If he had delayed another few minutes, the patient would have been gone.

The patient’s cousin remained silent while he trailed behind Zheng Ren all the way to the emergency ward. Zheng Ren wrote down the patient’s admission as the ICU so that Chang Yue would not need to fill in his medical records.

Zheng Ren told him to proceed with payment and showed him the way to the ICU. He then strode toward the ICU.

The plump courier from the Secondary Hospital subconsciously followed Zheng Ren and Su Yun the moment they dashed off.

Working so long in hospital settings had that effect on hospital staff, even if they were not clinical physicians.

When the plump courier saw the ghostly-white patient being carried out of the ambulance, he was certain that the patient was dead.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the doctors would routinely administer a closed-chest cardiac ma.s.sage for 20 minutes to comfort the patient’s family members and give them some time to accept the reality before announcing the patient’s death.

To his surprise, Chief Zheng studied the scans that he brought like an old pedant. He then had the audacity to perform a thoracotomy in the emergency rescue room and administer an open-chest cardiac ma.s.sage!

Either this Chief Zheng was a thug.

Or he truly had great skills.
