“How’s the contact with the family going?” Chen Cang turned and asked.
“They’re here, already waiting at the door, and leaders from the bus company have come as well,” Nurse Xiao Yan said.
Chen Cang nodded, “Mmm, thanks for the hard work.”
After finishing, Chen Cang still felt some concern and, looking at Liu Jian, said sincerely, “Teacher Liu, I’m troubling you with this.”
The surgery for intrathoracic hernia certainly required a professional anesthetist, and Liu Jian was one of the best.
Upon receiving Chen Cang’s call, Liu Jian had just finished an operation and came over without a second word.
Truth be told, Liu Jian himself did not know why he trusted Chen Cang so much!
Even when Chen Cang mentioned performing surgery in the emergency room, Liu Jian did not hesitate and immediately began preparations.
After witnessing Chen Cang’s surgery once again, Liu Jian couldn’t help but wipe off his sweat.
It was a bit hot, but what was more overwhelming was a sense of relief.He knew the dangers of an intrathoracic hernia, but it was precisely because of this that he understood how formidable Chen Cang was.
He couldn’t judge the pros and cons of the surgery, after all, he wasn’t a specialist!
But he was aware of how difficult it was to quickly identify an intrathoracic hernia and then promptly organize an emergency room surgery—the entire sequence from diagnosis to rescue to successful operation.
Liu Jian had seen more than one case of intrathoracic hernia, but… how many could be discovered early and treated in time?
He had a good idea!
When he saw the purple heart, Liu Jian was filled with trepidation.
If they were to follow the normal procedure, from processing admission to getting a leader’s signature, to the operating room’s agreement and finally to the surgery…
How long would that take?
The patient simply couldn’t wait that long!
Chen Cang was about to turn around when he suddenly saw five “strong men” staring intently at him from behind.
Chen Cang couldn’t help but take a step back, accidentally bumping into Qin Yue.
Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, “Director… what brings you here?”
At that moment, Li Baoshan was in no mood to be angry, having witnessed Chen Cang perform a very critical emergency surgery and save a life. How could he possibly be upset!? ṜÀNȱ𝐛ÈŚ
Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang quietly, “You’ve worked hard.”
Chen Cang was taken aback, then smiled, “Director, you would do the same.”
This comment made Li Baoshan’s face turn red for a rare moment.
Because to be honest, if he asked himself whether he could diagnose in time and quickly take this series of emergency measures…?
That would be difficult.
But since Chen Cang had said it… he couldn’t let down the expectations Chen Cang had of him, could he?
With this thought, Li Baoshan quietly hummed in agreement.
This simple “hm” was unremarkable, yet it filled Wang Xiangjun, also a director of the emergency department, with… doubt and wariness!
Was Li Baoshan that capable?
Thinking this, Wang Xiangjun swallowed hard.
When on earth did you, Li “Black Coal,” sneak in extra study?
Had he become too complacent?
Wang Xiangjun made up his mind that after he left, he would definitely strengthen the talent cultivation and infrastructure of the emergency department at Dongda Hospital and, at the same time… he needed to make progress himself.
Look at the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital now; facing an intrathoracic hernia, they could handle it independently, without the need to communicate with other departments.
This was a manifestation of strength.
Thinking about this, Wang Xiangjun felt he might have become somewhat complacent over the years.
“This Li Heitan is really amazing!”
Chen Cang nodded slightly to the various directors in greeting, and when he arrived at Tao Zi’s side,
Chen Cang said with a smile, “Hello, Teacher Tao.”
Tao Zi huffed coldly, his face wearing his displeasure and unhappiness like a child, “I have things to do, I’m leaving first.”
This left several directors staring, dumbfounded.
Even Li Baoshan was taken aback, “Chen, what did you do to upset Director Tao?”
Chen Cang looked bewildered, “I… I didn’t do anything?”
…
…
When Sun Baomin opened his eyes, he took a deep breath.
He felt like he had been asleep, dreaming of being pinned down, his heart clenched tightly in someone’s grip; his heartbeat speeding up, breath failing to come…
For the first time, he felt as if he was about to die, a sensation almost indistinguishable from death itself.
On the brink of death!
Was this what dying felt like?
But at that moment, he faintly felt someone opening his chest, giving him…
Though he was unconscious, the feeling of being saved was incredibly real, like a drowning person suddenly being rescued to shore, having the water pumped from their stomach, receiving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation…
Saved…
…
Upon opening his eyes, the first person Sun Baomin saw was a young man, not very old, smiling kindly at him.
Sun Baomin looked up, tried to speak, but found it difficult; the pain in his chest reminded him that he was still alive.
In this world, there are two types of pain: one that sharpens awareness, the other that breeds fear.
At that moment, the pain Sun Baomin felt brought clarity.
Chen Cang turned to face a middle-aged woman in her forties, speaking lightly, “The surgery was very successful, but his condition is still not stable. We need to move him to the ICU for observation for a few days.”
The woman, watching Sun Baomin lying on the bed, her tears streaming down unabated, was terrified thinking about the waiting outside and the information she’d received from others.
She couldn’t bear to imagine what the family would become if anything happened to Sun Baomin.
She couldn’t imagine how she would cope if she lost her husband.
Helplessness!
Seeing Sun Baomin open his eyes, those familiar eyes, she knew that her husband was going to be alright.
For no apparent reason, the woman’s knees gave way, and she knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Doctor, thank you, thank you so much, you’re our family’s lifesaver…”
Sun Baomin watched his wife’s outburst, tears streaming down, dampening the pillow towels on both sides.
Chen Cang helped the woman up, “It’s all right, it’s all right, big sister, stand up. We still need to talk…”
Sun Baomin was taken to the ICU for observation and might require less than a week of post-op monitoring. The emergency room surgery had its risks, and having nurses on hand in the ICU would make resuscitating Sun Baomin more convenient, if necessary.
The leaders of the bus company arrived, and Chen Cang learned of the cause behind Sun Baomin’s incident through the bus’s surveillance footage.
But when everyone saw how Sun Baomin, drenched in sweat and pale, managed to steady the bus’s steering wheel and drove the vehicle to safety, putting the safety of all passengers first!
Only upon reaching the stop at the Second Provincial Hospital did he finally park the bus properly!
But at that point, Sun Baomin could hold on no longer and collapsed at his station.
At that moment, everyone fell silent, moved by his actions!
Suddenly, Chen Cang felt all the hardships were worth it!
