The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 819: Even Liu Banxia Gets Scared Sometimes

"Alright, now you can lay him flat. Thanks, brother, you're free to catch some air now."

After pulling out the second fence spike, Liu Banxia said politely.

The firefighter didn't hesitate at all. He opened the back door of the ambulance, jumped out with a "whoosh," and closed the door with a "bang."

Even though he's a firefighter and has seen a lot of big scenes during missions, he'd never experienced a situation where intestines needed to be held.

He was just too nervous earlier; even with the bloody and foul smell, his mind was focused on helping squeeze IV bags and saline bags.

But now it was clear, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Su, don't rush. I'll sew up the stomach and intestines, then you can follow him back and wheel him directly to the operating table," Liu Banxia continued to stitch while speaking.

As for the current abdominal contamination, it's not a priority to consider now. The current goal is to get the patient's condition under control, buying them a little time.

"OK, it's sewn up. Cover it with cling film to avoid contamination."

Finally finishing the stitches, Liu Banxia said.

Ding! Emergency mission complete

Earned 300 experience points, 300 proficiency points in suturing skills, 200 proficiency points in dressing change skills, Glory Points +2

This mission was rated as flawless, earning 400 experience points, 400 proficiency points in suturing skills, 300 proficiency points in dressing change skills, Glory Points 4 + 4

Overall, this mission was somewhat a loss, but it did pull the patient back from the brink of death.

It didn't receive a perfect rating because the technique for vessel isolation and suturing was a bit rough. There wasn't time to consider anything else; stopping the bleeding was the priority.

As for everything else, just wait until it's on the operating table for the lead surgeon to handle.

There's no time for slow and careful isolation, especially in such a position and visual field. Getting the vessel clamp in place was good enough.

Seeing Liu Banxia jump off the vehicle covered in blood and grime, the ambulance roared off into the distance, leaving the people outside in a daze.

Did they really save him? Even something like that could be saved?

Liu Banxia took a glance and couldn't care about anything else, shouldering the emergency kit and rushing back to the scene.

This slight delay had already seen some patients sent off, but there were still too many left at the scene.

This was truly arriving at the site, with all the floors of this unit bearing burn marks, and even the neighbors weren't spared.

"Xu Yino, how's the situation?" Liu Banxia asked.

Xu Yino, who was auscultating a patient, turned her head and was startled, "Teacher Liu, what happened?"

"Just did a surgery; what's the situation here?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

"Twelve severely injured patients have been sent off; two to our hospital. These ones are less urgent after triage, and firefighters are still rescuing people inside," Xu Yino hurriedly replied.

"There's a lot of patients with dust in their airways, luckily we brought enough intubation kits, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough. Oh, among our three patients, two have burns."

Liu Banxia nodded. The on-site handling was pretty good, even if he were there, it would have been the same.

Looking around, Xie Chunli wasn't there, probably left with a critical patient.

He also joined the big team checking up on patients. If he saw someone having trouble breathing, he would intubate them after the examination. Some patients might feel he was making a fuss over nothing, but ultimately many risks could be avoided.

At this time, overthinking wasn't an option. The scene was chaotic, and even auscultation wasn't entirely accurate. Priority was given to safety, ensuring both one's own and the injured's safety.

More ambulances returned, and other injured were gradually transported to hospitals.

They were busy here for over three hours before all the injured in this area were finally settled. Some had even taken taxis to the hospital themselves because there were just too many injured.

"Is this unit completely burned down? I saw that many people in the second batch sent off were severely burned," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, it was already much worse compared to the first batch," Liu Yiqing said.

"The gas explosion happened in the room on the left side, didn't you see the hole in the wall? Upstairs, downstairs, and even the right side's neighbors caught fire."

"Luckily, no one was on the right; those upstairs and downstairs were just shaken. Many people were injured by the glass from the windows. After the fire started, many were burned or choked."

Liu Banxia nodded; during the treatment, he also listened to the people around him chatting.

The reason why so many people were injured this time was partly because the hallway was congested, and people reacted a bit slower.

There were some items placed in the hallway that made the fire rescue work difficult. Especially with the aggressive fire from the collapsed home and the neighbor's house, it was challenging for people to get out.

In addition, the security windows were a barrier, so many people were rescued through small windows in the hallway.

Despite diagnosing quite a few patients, his experience points were not very high. The severely injured patients had already been transferred, leaving only the lightly injured ones.

"Teacher Liu, should we take off our white coats first? Are we filming a horror movie or what?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"Uh... I got caught up in the busyness and forgot." Liu Banxia glanced at his coat and quickly took off his white coat.

It was quite frustrating; the clothes underneath had already been soaked with blood and were probably no longer wearable. Feeling a bit distressed, these were bought by Qiaoqiao and weren't cheap.

"Alright, the vehicle came back. Everyone squeeze in, get on the car in an orderly manner, there's enough room for everyone." As the ambulance arrived, Liu Banxia enthusiastically called out.

It was a slight relief for everyone, easing their somewhat troubled spirits.

This was truly an ungrounded disaster; it's uncertain whether the family affected had gas insurance. Even if they did, it probably wouldn't cover all expenses, and they might still have to pay for their medical costs.

Having destroyed four homes, injuring so many people, and burning so many houses, how much would it cost to compensate?

Isn't this an ungrounded disaster?

As for the lightly injured ones, it really doesn't matter which hospital they go to.

Today, all the hospitals dealing with the scene are very capable; no hospital loses out much by treating these minor injuries. This is one of the advantages of a big hospital; this wave of patients might even be more than Jinshui District Hospital's weekly intake.

"How are the conditions of the patients brought in?" Back at the emergency center, Liu Banxia asked.

"The director, Chen Xuehai, Xu Qixin, and Shi Lei are on the stage. The patient you brought in is currently being finished up by the director." Wei Yuan said.

"Not bad, the situation has been handled. Although the chance of future infection will increase significantly, the patient's life is preserved."

"At the time, I was somewhat dazed; I can only say the patient was relatively lucky. Two railing tips punctured, one damaging the kidney and one damaging the stomach, yet without causing greater harm." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"The on-site rescue was timely, and the replenishment of blood and fluids greatly reduced the loss of blood, providing an opportunity. But for him, it's uncertain when he might wake up?"

Wei Yuan nodded, "The shock duration was somewhat long, but an EEG was done, showing brain activity; he will likely be lying here for several days."

"Those burn patients are hard to handle; the plastic surgery department is busy today. Thankfully, Xu Qixin is here; otherwise, treating so many burns would be challenging."

"Probably it was Director Xie from the municipal hospital who insisted on assigning them, as the burn patients are his responsibility, and this time it's predominantly burn injuries." Liu Banxia said.

At this moment, Zhou Shuwen also walked up, waved at Liu Banxia after seeing him.

"Director, how's the patient's condition?" Liu Banxia hurriedly asked as he ran over.

"Send him to the ICU and take a look first; you did quite well, minimizing harm to the patient and achieving hemostasis. The suturing of the stomach and intestines is adequate; even if we open and resuture, it won't affect them." Zhou Shuwen said.

"I thought you would scold me; at that time, I didn't think straight. Prioritizing hemostasis delayed the defibrillation of the patient's heart by almost thirty seconds. Would I be held liable?" Liu Banxia asked pitifully.

Zhou Shuwen chuckled, giving him a glance, "Not easy, huh? You actually have moments of fear. Tsk tsk, truly rare. I heard from Su Wenhao that you seemed quite composed at the scene."

Liu Banxia grimaced, amusing everyone nearby.

"Although delayed, it wasn't like you left the patient unattended; appropriate treatment was conducted." Zhou Shuwen continued.

"Moreover, at that moment, if hemostasis hadn't been done, with the defibrillator working, the heart's pumping capacity would have increased momentarily, leaving the patient in more uncertainty."

"This was an on-site rescue, and your actions completely met the standard. Probably only you would have the guts to perform surgery inside the ambulance; see how the recovery goes, there's no rush to try waking him."

Liu Banxia nodded, feeling somewhat more at ease.

Sometimes it's like this; you face difficult choices. Suppose today during the second defibrillation, the heart didn't restart; upon knowing, the patient's family would certainly sue Liu Banxia.

No matter what priority hemostasis was given, you didn't handle the heart first; that's your responsibility. Concerned that bleeding could increase, things would be dangerous, but what if they weren't?

You really can't provide a precise definition; the events in the ambulance can't be hidden from the patient's family; they all need to be documented in the medical records.

There wasn't just firefighters on site; the ambulance compartment also had surveillance cameras.
