163 I’m All Righ (2/2)

In that instant, Mao Penghai's brain went blank.

Half a minute later.

Mao Penghai charged out of the ward and shouted loudly at the same time, ”Doctor… doctor…”

Lu Wenbin rushed to the scene at first notice. He looked at the paling finger and started to feel anxious.

The extent of the swelling, the temperature of the skin, and the color of the severed finger were the few most important visual indicators after a finger replantation surgery. As of right then, the color of Mao Penghai's finger very clearly did not meet that standards of a recovering finger.

Lu Wenbin gently put his hand nearer to Mao Penghai's finger. He was not surprised to discover that the temperature of his skin was below ordinary temperature.

If the temperature of the skin was low, it meant that blood circulation had slowed down. It could even result in thrombosis.

Thrombosis was a blockage in the blood vessels. To an ordinary patient, mild thrombosis could go away on its own. However, all those who encountered a slightly more serious case of thrombosis would find themselves facing a certain level of risk.

In other words, for the colony of human beings, thrombosis was just one phenomenon that could cause death among countless more phenomena that could cause death. However, for any human individual, once that person discovered that he was inflicted with thrombosis, he or she would have to count himself lucky to be able to get out of the situation with all his body parts intact.

”Get the operating theater ready, contact Doctor Ling. Bed 25's patient has shown signs of thrombosis. Get the venous access device ready.” Lu Wenbin first made a decision that was most unlikely to make things go wrong. At the same time, his thoughts began turning rapidly.

There were not many doctors who would dare claim that they were highly-skilled in finger replantation surgeries.

Lu Wenbin was even more feeling a little guilty.

He was feeling extremely grateful at the moment. During the past few days, Ling Ran had ordered him and Ma Yanlin to do a great deal of reading on how to tend to replanted fingers.

Lu Wenbin recalled what he read while he weighed the pros and cons and made judgments in his heart.

If it were possible, he hoped that Ling Ran could be right there with him right then so that he could guide him on what he should do.

However, as a resident doctor who came from the Emergency Department, Lu Wenbin knew that it was not possible. High-ranking doctors would never sit in an empty room to wait for patients to come to them so that they could provide the patients with the best medical services. The ward at the in-patient building was fully occupied with patients who were waiting for the high-ranking doctors to provide them with medical services.

Regardless of whether it was the Emergency Department or the Inpatient Department, the first-string doctors who had to directly handle patients could only be resident doctors like Lu Wenbin, or perhaps attending physicians, whose rank was slightly higher than that of resident doctors.

”Doctor Lu?” The nurse who finished setting up a venous access device on the patient reminded the doctor.

Lu Wenbin knew that he had to administer medication now. Ling Ran was not there, and there was no way to perform a physical examination. Even if he called Ling Ran, Ling Ran might not be able to make it back in time. He might not necessarily obtain the most appropriate answer for the situation either.

It was fortunate that Lu Wenbin was a resident doctor who worked for the Emergency Department. During his past four to five years, he had handled hundreds of emergency cases. As he watched the pale finger before his eyes, Lu Wenbin pulled himself together and gave his order, ”Heparin for the veins, 0.8 oz, enoxaparin [1], 1.6 oz…”

After thinking for another two seconds, Lu Wenbin gave another order, ”dipyridamole[2], 0.33 oz.”

The nurse repeated his order while she began to get busy.

Mao Penghai remained lying on the flat bed dumbly. He looked at the infusion bag. He could not understand what was going on no matter how hard he tried.

'I have smoked much more in the past two days. So why did I get a problem straightaway for smoking only once today?”
