”Yes”
”This is where we see patients who are wounded and this is where we put all the IV solutions togetherDo you knoe use these?”
Hans kindly explained this and that to her
”The professors can't be on call here for 24 hours a day, so when patients arrive, apprentices like us will see the patients first and then give a report on thee will come to treat themIn this way, the critical center is run”
It was set up in a similar system to the ER on earth
After all, in Korean hospitals when a patient first coency room an intern or a 'resident' will first e of that field as they are needed
”These are the tools for surgerySometimes, when a patient who needs iht here”
”Yes”
”I will directly show you e do with this next time e have a patient”
He felt his heart race as he saw her sweetly reply to his explanationsTo think such a cute girl would couys!
His voice slowly grew in strength
”This tool is”
However, at that hout the center
”Professor, there's a patient here!”
” !”
Hans looked at Elise and answered back in a trustworthy voice
”Let's go, RoseI will show you how to treat patients”
However, his face stiffened when he saw the patient
Pant Pant
”My breath!”
A tall, skinny youngout short shallow breaths
He was heaving his chest and it looked quite serious
”My ch-chest!”
Pant Pant
He had sohe couldn't even finish his words properly
Hans urgently cried
”He's a patient with a chest contusion so please bring an electrocardiogram for the heart! And please call Professor Fallon!”
It wasn't a patient that someone as just an apprentice could handle
As the nurse went to call Professor Grahae, Hans tried to quickly examine the patient
”Dear Patient, please just wait a moment! We will quickly examine and then treat you!”
Then it was at thatdown on her lip
'This is not the ti his heartThis patient's problem is not the heart!'
As she watched this patient, one conclusion ca by his state his proble at the state of the patient, he looks like he can't endure until Professor Fallon comes so what should I do?'
She was a trainee on her first day at the critical center and she had no right to attend to this patient and any current authority over hied to Hans at the h-!”
The patient gave out a wordless scream and his eyes rolled over as he fainted!
”Patient! Patient! Please co Professor Graham over! Quickly!”
Hans was confounded and cried out
It was at that moment Elise took over
”Senior”
”Huh?”
”I'm sorryCan you please lend me a stethoscope?”
”What?”
”Let entQuickly!”
”-?!”
While Hans stood there flabbergasted, Elise grabbed the stethoscope off his neck
”I aive you an explanation later!”
” !”
There was no tiive a detailed explanation
She took the stethoscope to his thorax (bosos
As she listened, her face slowly stiffened
'As I thought!'
She couldn't hear anything fros
With these factors and his skinny body, tall height, abrupt chest pains, and rapid shallow breathing, it all came to one conclusion
'It is definitely pneu)
Her assumption was precise
'If it's like this then at least 70 percent of the lung on the left side must have been crushedNo, it may not be just that!'
She swiftly touched the carotid artery
Then her countenance paledShe could barely feel anything from his carotid artery
'It's not just a simple pneumothoraxIt's tension pneumothorax!'
Tension pneumothorax
'Tension pneumothorax is when the accumulation of air in the pleural space is under pressure, co venous return to the heart!
If it's not taken care of right noill lead to death!'
”Please give e”
”What?”
However, Hans hadn't come to his senses quite yet
Unlike the usual cal voiceThat was how urgent the patient's condition was!
”Quickly, give e! One with the thickest point!”
”!”
Thankfully, the nurse understood what she was saying and brought the thickest syringe at the center to her
”Here!”
The needlepoint was alasted and asked
”Wh-what are you going to do with that?”
She didn't bother to answerNo, there was no tie as if it was a knife and thrust it directly into the patient's chest
Poke!
As she inserted the large needle, it bore into the 2nd intercostal space in the midclavicular line and blood squirted out onto her faceHowever, she didn't even blink an eye
'Not yetA bit h!”
At that petrifying scene, someone let out a scream
Hans face also blanched white
To think she could just pierce a needle into the area where the heart, aorta, and lung were all collected in one space! If she made one mistake it could lead to immediate death!
”You, you! What is this?!”
Then it was that moment
