Chapter 261 – Terribly ill! (1/2)
Evening. 8 pm.
A night shift doctor and a few nurses rushed to Dong Xuebing’s ward. Dong Xuebing was still unconscious on the floor, and his face is very pale. Xie Huilan was looking terrible beside him, and her fist was clenched tightly. Qu Yunxuan was holding on to Dong Xuebing’s hand anxiously, speaking to him.
“Move aside!”
The doctor went over and shouted. “Heart rate, blood pressure!”
The nurse replied. “Blood pressure, 40 – 70.”
Another doctor said. “Heart rate 45. Breathing is weak.”
The doctor immediately shouted. “Put on the ventilator and send him to the ER now. Call Director Yang!”
Qu Yunxuan asked. “Doctor, is Xiao Bing going to be alright?”
The doctor had no time to explain to Qu Yunxuan. He ordered the nurses to carry Chief Dong to the bed and started emergency treatment. “The blood pressure and heart rate are too low. This is not looking good. Contact the family members now. We will try our best to save him.” After that, he ignored Qu Yunxuan and pushed Dong Xuebing out of the ward into the ER. Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan quickly followed behind.
Five minutes…
Ten minutes…
Fifteen minutes…
Outside of the ER.
Qu Yunxuan sat on the plastic chairs outside and mumbled to herself. “Xiao Bing will be alright… He will be fine…”
“That guy is more resilient than everybody!” Xie Huilan closed her eyes. “He will be fine!”
Qu Yunxuan agreed. “Yes… Yes… he will be fine.”
Everyone could tell these two women were comforting themselves. As time passes, Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan grew more anxious. Xie Huilan stood up from the chair and started pacing up and down the corridor. Qu Yunxuan was sobbing and looking towards the door of the ER.
The ER’s door opened, and a doctor came out!
Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan immediately went up to him. “Doctor, how is Xiao Bing?”
Xie Huilan asked overbearingly. “Is Chief Dong awake now?”
The doctor recognized Mayor Xie, and took a deep breath. “Not yet.”
“Not yet?! Look at the time! How long has it been?!” Xie Huilan was furious.
The doctor replied. “Mayor Xie, Chief Dong does not have any physical injuries, and his blood test showed no abnormalities, but it is not looking good. A few minutes ago, the patient’s heart stopped beating once. Director Yang is still trying his best to save him. We will do our best to save Chief Dong!”
Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan were shocked!
His heart stopped beating? Why is this happening?
The doctor sighed and took out a form. “Who is the patient’s family member?”
Qu Yunxuan replied. “Xiao Bing’s mother does not have good health, and we did not inform her. You can speak to us instead.”
The doctor gave Qu Yunxuan a notice of the critical condition. “You should inform Chief Dong’s family. We need them to sign this.”
Qu Yunxuan was shivering. “Xiao Bing… he is not going to make it?”
“Calm down.” Xie Huilan took a deep breath. “Issuing a notice of critical condition does not mean he is going to die!”
At this time, the County People Hospital’s Director, a Deputy Director and a Department Head ran over. They were informed that Chief Dong collapsed suddenly, and Mayor Xie is in the hospital. All the hospital’s leaders knew this is an emergency. The Old Director was sleeping when he was informed, and he rushed over with the other leaders. Chief Dong had just completed an outstanding achievement in the morning. If anything happens to him in their hospital, they will be held responsible.
“Mayor Xie!”
“Mayor!”
The few hospital leaders stood beside Xie Huilan and greeted her.
The Old Director immediately asked the Duty Doctor about Chief Dong’s condition. After the Duty Doctor finished, the Old Director’s face changed.
Qu Yunxuan was going crazy. She pushed that doctor aside and tried to enter the Emergency Room. But she was stopped by the nurses outside. Xie Huilan was calmer than her and threw the notice of critical condition at the Old Director. “Don’t let me see this thing again! I don’t care what you all do! You all must save Chief Dong at all costs! Do you hear me?! Go in and save him! Now!”
“Yes!” The Old Director and a Head of department entered the ER.
It was tense outside the Emergency Room. No one dares to make any noise, and you could hear a pin drop in the corridor.
One minute…
Five minutes…
Ten minutes…
Suddenly, the door open, and the Old Director and Director Yang walked out.
Xie Huilan stared at them, and Qu Yunxuan’s heart started beating fast. She is afraid that the Doctors will tell her, “Sorry, we had tried our best.”
Director Yang, in his forties, took a deep breath and said. “Chief Dong is awake and is temporarily out of danger.”
Everyone was relieved to hear that. Thank god. When Chief Dong was pushed out of the ER, he was asleep and looked much better. Qu Yunxuan was still sobbing and trembling. Xie Huilan also exhaled loudly, and not so tense.
The Doctor advice to let Chief Dong rest, and not to disturb him.
Xie Huilan ordered the doctors to leave, a few visitors, who got wind of Dong Xuebing collapsing, were told to leave by her.
After a while, Director Yang walked out of his office with blackface. “Who is the patient’s family member? Come in!” He returned to his office. Qu Yunxuan wanted to know about Xiao Bing’s condition and quickly followed him. Xie Huilan said something to the Old Director and quickly followed into the office. After closing the door, only the three of them are in the office.
Director Yang looked at Qu Yunxuan. “You are his family member?”
“Yes.” Qu Yunxuan asked worryingly. “What is wrong with Xiao Bing? Why did he collapse suddenly?”
Director Yang looked at her sternly. “I should be the one asking you! Chief Dong is still fine when he was sent to the hospital! Why did he faint suddenly?”
Qu Yunxuan’s expression froze. “Before he fainted, he… is quite angry.”
Director Yang stared at Qu Yunxuan. “Angry?! You made him angry?!”
Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.
Xie Huilan frowned. “He is only angry. Can being angry let him have breathing difficulties and his heart to stop beating?”
Director Yang replied confidently. “Of course, and this might be the main reason for his sudden collapse. You all should know Chief Dong better than me. He is warmhearted, kind, and upright. Whenever people are in danger, he is the first to help. People like him take things seriously. If he met any problems, he would force himself to solve it. Even when he does not have a solution, he will continue to force himself. In such a situation, much acute illness, like a heart attack or stroke, will happen. Many patients of these conditions were because of their anger!”
