403 A Building Collapsed (2/2)

Doctor Zhou saw Ling Ran and just nodded. He waited for a while to see two residents doctors who were from the Cardiothoracic Department and Neurosurgery Department rush over to their side. He then said, ”A building under construction in Luxia collapsed, and there may be more than fifty people who participated in the construction.”

The expressions of the people instantly became serious.

”How many people will we be assigned to each?” The current most senior doctor in the Emergency Department was Zheng Pei. He had a small beard on his chin, and it actually looked quite artistic. However, he made too many dirty jokes, and he looked rather sleazy. Even when he spoke about serious matters, it was easy for Zheng Pei to give the feeling that he was not serious.

Doctor Zhou looked at both sides and said, ”We are not very sure how many people will be arriving at the end. It's said that the collapsed building affected the mobile homes at the construction site. Therefore, the total number of injured may vary greatly.”

Everyone exchanged glances and could not help but to feel a little shocked.

Fifty injured people were already considered a large-scale public event. There might also be some lucky ones in the accident who were not heavily injured, and the ones who were truly injured, especially those who were seriously injured or killed, might not even amount to fifty people.

However, once it concerned housing areas, the number of people would be hard to predict.

Not a large number was needed to be added to the fifty that would make the incident be considered as a public event, with just another fifty patients, the scale of this public incident would definitely be one of the top public emergencies in Yun Hua.

”Twelve people have been confirmed in the first batch of wounded being sent to Yun Hua Hospital. Four have minor injuries, and eight have serious injuries.” Doctor Zhou just briefed them on the actual situation and said nothing more, ”Everyone, wear your surgical gowns, gloves, and protective clothing now.”

”Do we need to wear protective clothing?” The resident doctor from the General Surgery Department was somewhat reluctant.

Doctor Zhou gave him a look and said, ”We don't have time to wait for the four classic transfusion-transmissible infections test. That's how the Emergency Department works. We will save lives and treat the injuries first. If you want to wait, then you can wait until the laboratory report comes out to decide whether you want to wear protective clothing.”

The hospital in the country only began to slowly learn how to take protective measures against infectious diseases after 2003.

Units such as the Emergency Department were also the fastest to learn this, but they were forced to learn it quick.

The doctors no longer grumbled. Each of them looked for a place to wear their clothes and gloves.

The nurses were all similarly equipped. They had also emptied the resuscitation room and treatment room.

At the same time, some nurses went to tidy up the operating theaters and observation room.

The other departments aside from the Emergency Department had also slowly begun to stir into activity.

”This is the biggest public emergency that we have encountered since the establishment of the Emergency Medical Center. It'll depend on us to show how great the Emergency Medical Center can perform.” Doctor Zhou called Ling Ran and several other doctors in the Emergency Medical Center to gather together, and his expression was solemn.

Zheng Pei whispered, ”When is the department director coming?”

”It would take him at least one hour.”

”How about the ambulance?”

”It'll arrive after fifteen minutes.” Doctor Zhou looked at his watch and said, ”At this time, don't count on other people.”

Several resident doctors in the Emergency Department nodded solemnly.

Although they had had several years of medical experience, even if they used their feet to think, they knew that the injuries of the patients today will not be too simple.

”Let's get prepared.” Doctor Zhou watched the medical staff wear protective clothing and surgical gowns, raised his arms and brought everyone out to stand outside the reception door.

The wind at night was a little cold, but every doctor and nurses' faces were stern as they waited silently.

Doctor Zhou said, ”Three more minutes. If an ambulance arrives earlier than expected, we must also be prepared.”

No one said anything.

Ling Ran looked straight ahead. His fingers moved slightly in the air.

'System, open the Treasure Chests.'

Ling Ran looked at the number that stated how many Basic Treasure Chests had obtained—126. He gave himself a reason silently, '127 minus one is 126. 127 is a prime number! It's a good number!'
