Chapter 25

Lü Shulei's pharmaceutical research institute has the qualifications to test drug safety, which saved Qin Chuan a lot of trouble.

Lü Shulei continued, "You can do the synthesis here, and we can handle it privately. Even the drugs are at the expense of our institute. However, the safety test requires a report and a certificate. I can't secretly do this for you; it's too risky. So, we should go through the proper channels and have the institute do it. I'll apply for a special discount for you. What do you think?"

"Do we need to explain ourselves as brothers? Besides, once the drug is on the market, this money will be nothing," Qin Chuan said.

"Alright, leave the sample here. I'll take care of the procedures on Monday and arrange the testing for you. Even as a new drug with special approval, this step can't be skipped," Lü Shulei said.

"Alright. Let's go to the city for dinner tonight. I'll treat you," Qin Chuan said.

"What? Do you have too much money to spend?" Lü Shulei didn't even look up as he continued with his work.

"We've been in Tanshan City for so long, and we haven't had a good drink together. Today you've helped me a lot, so I want to treat you properly. We should have a good drink," Qin Chuan said.

"Drink my ass. When I came to Tanshan, you never showed any hospitality. Now that you need my help, you remember to treat me to a drink. I really don't want to drink with you," Lü Shulei said.

"If I had known there were so many beautiful women at Tanshan University, I would have come earlier. The two beauties from your school aren't at the central hospital? Let's go check on them," Qin Chuan said.

"Damn! Then you'd better not come often. If you come a few more times and cause trouble for the teachers and students at Tanshan University, I'll be seen as a traitor to the university," Lü Shulei said irritably.

"Then I won't come, and you can take advantage of the situation," Qin Chuan laughed.

"Get lost. I'm serious. We'll talk about the dinner later. You've already developed a new drug, and I need to come up with something at the pharmaceutical institute to save face. We can talk about dinner, but you should visit more often. And don't come for the girls at Tanshan University," Lü Shulei said.

"Then come to our central hospital more often. We have plenty of female doctors and nurses. It's up to you," Qin Chuan said.

"Bullshit! What do I need to go to your hospital for if I have nothing to do? As a brother, you shouldn't wish me to go to the hospital," Lü Shulei said.

Qin Chuan said helplessly, "I go to the hospital every day. What's the big deal? Forget it, I'll introduce you to some beautiful doctors and nurses later. Uniforms! You know what I mean!"

"Get lost!" Lü Shulei said irritably.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's phone rang.

Qin Chuan took out his phone and said, "Brother, it's a call from the hospital. Looks like we won't be having dinner."

Qin Chuan answered the call, "Hello, this is Qin Chuan."

"Doctor Qin, there's been a major traffic accident in the city. Director Cheng has ordered all emergency doctors to cancel their leave and return to the hospital immediately."

Qin Chuan hung up and apologized to Lü Shulei, "Brother, I'm sorry, I have to go. Let's have dinner at my place another day. My parents have been talking about you."

"Alright, I'll visit your parents another day. You should go back quickly," Lü Shulei said.

Qin Chuan called a taxi at the pharmaceutical research institute and rushed to the central hospital.

When he returned to the emergency department, it was already in chaos. A large number of patients had the emergency doctors and nurses working non-stop, and doctors from other departments had been called in to help.

"Doctor Qin, you're back just in time. There's been a major traffic accident, and a large number of critically injured patients have been brought in. You need to join the rescue efforts," Cheng Guanhua said.

Jiang Lingling was delighted to see Qin Chuan, "Doctor Qin, come over here, this patient is in critical condition."

Qin Chuan hurried over and immediately started the rescue. He applied the techniques he had learned from the simulated accident scene in the system, which proved to be very effective.

Before long, the patient was stabilized, "The patient is temporarily out of danger, but with multiple organ damage and multiple fractures, he needs to be transferred to a specialist for further treatment."

"Doctor Qin, you're amazing. I thought this patient..." Jiang Lingling said.

"Let's not talk about it. There are still many other patients who haven't been treated yet," Qin Chuan said.

Qin Chuan's quick and accurate treatment impressed Cheng Guanhua, "Qin Chuan is really cut out for emergency medicine. He's decisive and skilled. In emergencies, you have to be decisive and can't hesitate. Sometimes it's just a matter of a few seconds. A moment's hesitation can mean the loss of a life."

Nurse Supervisor Xu Shifang nodded, "I haven't heard you praise a young doctor like this in a long time. Don't let him transfer to another department this time. I've heard that several department heads are very interested in Qin Chuan."

"Really? They're after Qin Chuan too? They can forget it! Every time we have a good doctor in the emergency department, they get poached. If this continues, we won't be able to function," Cheng Guanhua said angrily.

One of the patients was special; he was still wearing handcuffs during the rescue.

"What's going on with this person?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.

"This is a dangerous criminal. He was being transported to the detention center when the police van was involved in a multi-vehicle collision. The driver and the officers escorting him were also injured. This criminal is in very serious condition," a woman in a police uniform said.

Qin Chuan glanced at the policewoman, almost blinded by her beauty. Although her skin was slightly sun-kissed from working outdoors, it couldn't hide her striking appearance, and her chest was pushing the police uniform to its limits.

"Can you remove the handcuffs? Here, everyone is a patient first. Wearing handcuffs is very inconvenient for the rescue," Qin Chuan said.

"If you knew what he did, you wouldn't ask me to remove his handcuffs. This man is extremely dangerous and must remain handcuffed," the policewoman refused.

"In his condition, how can he be dangerous?" Qin Chuan said.

"What's wrong with you, doctor? This man is a suspect in a mass murder case, where he brutally killed a family of seven. If he wakes up and causes any trouble, can you take responsibility?" the policewoman said.

Qin Chuan looked at the badge on her chest, which read: Dong Jingzhi.

Qin Chuan didn't say anything more and immediately started treating the patient. The patient's identity was irrelevant to his rescue efforts.

The patient's condition was very serious, and his heart stopped beating as they spoke. Qin Chuan immediately performed CPR. After a while, the patient, whom Qin Chuan thought couldn't be saved, miraculously recovered.

Qin Chuan was drenched in sweat.

"How is he? Is he okay?" Dong Jingzhi asked.

"He's in serious condition. He needs to be monitored in the hospital. We'll need to do some tests later. I suspect internal bleeding, and he may need surgery," Qin Chuan said.

"Bad luck!" Dong Jingzhi complained. With the criminal seriously injured, her job would be much more difficult.

"Doctor Qin, over here," Jiang Lingling called out again.

Qin Chuan hurried over, but the patient had already died. He shook his head, "He's gone. No need to resuscitate him."

Doctors are not omnipotent. In such a severe accident, there are always some patients who can't be saved in time.

"He was fine when he arrived, but suddenly he collapsed. With so many people around, no one noticed until it was too late," Jiang Lingling said.

"There are too many patients today. It's inevitable," Qin Chuan felt a heavy heart.

They worked until around ten o'clock at night, finally treating all the patients. Including the one earlier, four critically injured patients did not survive. If the last patient had been discovered earlier, he could have been saved, but sometimes things just can't be helped.

"You doctors have a tough job," Dong Jingzhi, who was watching the suspect, sighed.

Qin Chuan twitched his mouth and managed a weak smile, "Four deaths today."

"It's not your fault. I came from the accident scene. A drunk driver crashed through the barrier and drove into the opposite lane. A truck driver swerved to avoid him, causing a rollover, and several cars behind couldn't stop in time, leading to a chain collision. Several people died on the spot," Dong Jingzhi said.

"Why do people rush to their deaths like this?" Qin Chuan said.

"Killing themselves is one thing, but why drag others down with them? Some of my colleagues were escorting this suspect to the detention center, and one of them died on the spot, while the others were injured," Dong Jingzhi said.
