Chapter 327 - State of Shock (1/2)
Hospitals had always been chaotic; accidents and emergencies, wide entrance with glass sliding doors, ambulances lined up outside, patients being wheeled inside on trollies by the paramedics.
But the private wards of hospitals like First City Hospital had always been serene. The air filled with a perfumed scent and plush comfortable seats. Each and everyplace spotless and dustless. Even the nurses move in an unhurried manner to make rounds from room to room.
However, tonight this private ward wasn't as peaceful as it used to be. There was a strange pressure in the air and every person seemed to be on the edge.
Inside one of those private OR rooms laid Xu Mey with IV drips attached to her veins. Her face looked pale and sallow. She looked frail as if lost her vitality in a few hours. A team of doctors had been trying to stop the bleeding.
While the private ward could make a person suffocate due to pressure, the condition outside the OR was even worse.
"Uncle Chen, I can't let you operate on him," Lin Shen tried to persuade Zhu Chen to let go of his stubbornness but the latter wasn't listening. How could he? He found his son after decades and now he was lying inside fighting a battle of life and death.
"Shen, I'm a renowned surgeon. I can surely save my son." Zhu Chen's eyes were red at this point and his voice was heavy with emotions. Lin Shen could understand his condition but he couldn't do anything about that for now.
"Uncle Chen, you are a cardiothoracic surgeon. Jie has a head injury. Apart from that, your emotions are too unstable for me to let you operate on anyone much less on him. Try to understand, I have to give a reply to my Xiao Mey and believe me, I'll do my best to save him." Lin Shen's eyes were stinging with tears as well but he couldn't show his weakness. At least for Xu Mey's sake, he had to do everything he could.
"Dr. Shen, I'll assist you." Yang Ziyi who had heard about Jie's accident ran to accompany Lin Shen.
Lin Shen could see her swollen eyes as if she had been crying for a while but didn't pay attention since he didn't have much time to waste. He patted Zhu Chen's shoulder and said, "Uncle, you should have some faith in me." He turned and left to enter the OR.
By this time everyone had gathered outside the OR with the same look of anxiety on their faces. While Zhu Chen was trying to calm He Susu who was crying hysterically in his arms, he heard Fan Bingbing's voice, "Did anyone check on Little Mey?"
As their attention turned, everyone turned to see a doctor coming out of Xu Mey's room.
"Doctor, how's my daughter?" Xu Cheng's condition wasn't any better when he was informed about the accident which involved both his daughter and son-in-law.
"The patient just had a Hypovolaemic shock." As his words left his mouth, Zhu Chen straightened up and turned towards him.
"What do you mean? Was there some kind of bleeding?" He questioned trying to maintain his professional attitude. After all, he knew very well that Hypovolaemic shock occurs when there was not enough blood volume in the body. As the causes are mostly internal or external injury. He completely dropped the idea of Xu Mey being dehydrated from his mind.
