”Prep her for OR.” Luo Jingyi removed her gloves right after performing emergency resuscitation to a pregnant woman who was shot in her lower abdomen. The woman was discovered by the EMTs on site inside the trunk of a flipped vehicle that was among the vehicle pile-up.
”Dr. Yao, you'll be my First Assistant, and—” Luo Jingyi scanned the faces, ”Blue Girl, you'll be my second.” Dr. Tang's face darkened considerably when she didn't hear her name. She'd been following and assisting Luo Jingyi the whole day to be closer to her. After what she did, mistaking Luo Jingyi as the country doctor who came from the countryside, she needed to earn brownie points.
But now Luo Jingyi chose another who graduated from a mediocre university. She couldn't accept that. ”Dr. Luo, I have more OR experience than Dr. Yao. Why can't I be your First Assistant?”
Luo Jingyi, who was giving further instruction to the head nurse, lifted her head and looked at her. ”That is the reason, questioning your superior's decision. On top of that, anyone who can't even attach an endotracheal tube has no place in my OR.”
Luo Jingyi's words directly smashed Dr. Tang. She'd seen Dr. Tang's action in the ER, and she made a lot of mess. On the other hand, Dr. Yao was very focused and responsible. Any attending would be confident to leave a patient in Dr. Yao's hands.
Moreover, Luo Jingyi didn't like people who looked down on another person because of their family background. She'd observed Dr. Tang the whole time, and almost everyone was trying to put up with her high and mighty behavior in the hospital. Even her bedside manner was crass. Luo Jingyi witnessed first hand how Dr. Tang spoke to a patient's mother impudently. She sneered a lot at the patient. To Luo Jingyi, these were all a big no-no.
”But it was because…” Her words tapered off…” It's because of her.” She pointed to Blue Girl. ”She gave me the wrong tool.”
The people who were used to Dr. Tang's behavior in the hospital shook their heads. As always, Dr. Tang was going to blame someone. But how could she blame Blue girl, who handed her the standard equipment for intubating? They all thought Dr. Tang was really an idiot.
”Stop blaming other people for your own mistake. Better go back to Med school and study the basics.” Luo Jingyi said it straightforwardly. She didn't like people who put the blame on others too.
Luo Jingyi hadn't noticed that Dr. Tang's face turned scarlet with her words. Seeing the gazes the other staff were throwing at her, she wanted the ground to crack open so she could hide.
No longer paying attention to Dr. Tang, Luo Jingyi faced the head nurse. ”There might be a need to perform a C-section. Get a pediatrician and obstetrician in OR-5 now.”
”Yes, Dr. Luo.” The head nurse hurried out. Everyone left the trauma bay except Dr. Tang. She was gritting her teeth in anger.
