942 Not at All (1/2)

The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the banquet hall sparkled, and it was as if hundreds of crystals were alight, bathing the banquet hall in even more grandiosity. It was as if the hall was illuminated by a crystal chandelier, which it was.

Huo Congjun walked in a leisurely manner toward Dobin with several hospital leaders, and he was enthusiastic as he explained things to them. ”The one performing tracheostomy right now is Doctor Ling from our Emergency Medical Center. The CPR team in our center was trained by Ling Ran. So, if CPR is needed, Doctor Ling is definitely the right choice to perform it.”

”The patient is a foreigner, isn't he? Things aren't looking good, right?” Section Chief Jia from the Health Department began his career as an administrator. When he saw that Dobin's eyes were tightly shut and that his chest was cut open, he instinctively sensed that things were not going well.

In movies, people who were in this kind of predicament died all the time. Hence, it would not be too much of a big deal if a foreigner were to die here...

Section Chief Jia's expression naturally relaxed.

Huo Congjun was not anxious at all. He said calmly, ”Mister Dobin is a doctor from New York–Presbyterian Hospital, and he's having a short visit in Yun Hua Hospital. He's probably suffering from an acute illness… Hmm, the one who's assisting right now is our young resident doctor, Ma Yanlin.

”There's nothing we can do if it's an acute illness.” Section Chief Jia's expression became even more relaxed.

”Ahem.” Department Director Long, who was once a doctor, cleared his throat and said, ”For young people, there is an air of capability to both of them indeed. The maneuvers of both doctors are perfect.”

Department Director Long took the opportunity to show that he still possessed the standards of a doctor.

Department Director Huo, though, chuckled internally. Department Director Long probably compared Ling Ran and Ma Yanlin because those two seemed like they were around the same age.

Huo Congjun had always thought of the other party as a veterinarian instead of a doctor, and he still thought of the other party as a veterinarian instead of a doctor. However, he was a chief physician for many years, and he had mastered the art of flattering other people. ”Department Director Long, you are a man of good taste. Right now, Doctor Ling sets the standard for all the other doctors in the Emergency Medical Center. Ma Yanlin is also one of the best junior doctors, and he's also very patient.”

Department Director Long nodded a little. He looked like he would have stroke his beard if he had one.

”The patient's condition looks very serious. Will he be fine?” Section Chief Jia glanced at the doctors who were smiling and chit-chatting, and then at the patient who was no longer able to breathe and looked like he was about to die at any moment. Section Chief Jia found the atmosphere very strange.

'Shouldn't they be more anxious when resuscitating a patient?

'Or are foreigners not considered living beings for them?'

Huo Congjun smiled and explained in a humble tone. ”Acute myocardial infarction is definitely something that needs to be treated with urgency, but we don't have to worry too much as the best doctors are treating him… Hmm, there shouldn't actually be too many people around the patient. It might do more harm than good. Usually, when we resuscitate this kind of patient, all we need is an attending physician along with a resident doctor.”

”Shouldn't we ask a more experienced doctor to come forward…”

”Most associate chief physicians are around forty or fifty years old. It would be too hard on their bodies for them to perform CPR. They wouldn't have the strength to perform chest compressions,” Huo Congjun explained a little sternly. He must not laugh at a time like this, as if he were to laugh, the cadre who was not even a veterinarian might think that he was mocking him.

Huo Congjun mocked people all the time, and he always made it known to the other party that he was mocking them. If other people were to think that he was mocking them when he was not actually doing so, it would not be worth it for him as he did not even get to experience the thrill of mocking people.

Section Chief Jia looked like he understood what Huo Congjun meant. He asked, ”Would the success rate be higher if the doctor is skilled?”
