Chapter 5

"Coming from Xingsha, it takes about one or two hours. Our top priority right now is to save the patient. You all start the rescue here. A few more emergency patients have arrived, I'll go check on them. And you, don't just stand there watching. You need to do something too," Cheng Guanhua said.

Wu Xiaoming and the others, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Cheng Guanhua's words, stood up in a huff and walked out the door.

"What's wrong with Dr. Wu?" Jiang Lingling asked.

"Well, it's still because of you," Gao Zhanting said with a smile.

"How is it related to me? I wasn't even here just now," Jiang Lingling asked curiously.

"How can it not be related to you? When you were wiping Dr. Qin's forehead, someone's eyes almost popped out," Gao Zhanting said with a smile.

Jiang Lingling's face turned red for no reason, and she secretly glanced at Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan had already taken over from He Xiaokang and was continuing to perform chest compressions on the patient. He was very focused and didn't even look at Jiang Lingling. Qin Chuan had been in the hospital for a long time and didn't want to find a girlfriend who was also a doctor. Moreover, although his previous relationship had ended, he still hadn't gotten over it.

Focused men often have a greater appeal to women. Watching Qin Chuan so dedicated to saving the patient, Jiang Lingling became even more infatuated with him.

"Spontaneous heartbeat has been restored. Alternating sinus rhythm, ventricular, and atrial arrhythmias. Administer 300mg of amiodarone + 100ml of 0.9% saline continuously by IV," Qin Chuan said.

After a while, Jiang Lingling said, "Dr. Qin, the patient's blood pressure still can't be maintained."

"Use 1mg of norepinephrine + 100ml of 0.9% saline, starting dose at 1.0μg/min, gradually adjust to 8μg/min," Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said.

As an emergency doctor, one must be very familiar with the commonly used drugs and their dosages. These drugs are standard in the emergency department. Nurses generally know the dosages, but the specific dosages must be determined by the doctor. During his internship, Qin Chuan also spent time in the emergency department. At first, he couldn't remember them. Fortunately, at that time, he was just assisting the emergency doctors, organizing medical records, and gradually memorizing the commonly used emergency drugs and their dosages, which weren't hard to remember.

"Blood pressure is 100/50," Jiang Lingling said, looking at the monitor.

Qin Chuan nodded, "I'll keep an eye on it here. You all go rest for a bit."

Gao Zhanting and He Xiaokang didn't hesitate. Gao Zhanting said, "Little Qin, you keep an eye on it."

A woman in her thirties rushed to the emergency department of Tanshan Central Hospital.

"Hello. Could you please tell me which ward the emergency patient who was brought in earlier is in?" the woman asked anxiously.

"Hello. Could you please be more specific? We have a lot of patients in the emergency department every day," Jiang Tingting looked at the woman, knowing she was likely a family member of one of the patients.

"It's like this. I received a call from the police station today, saying my mother was being treated here. I rushed over. My mother is in her fifties..." the woman said.

"Let me guess, I know which patient it is. She was just rescued. The emergency doctors worked for over an hour. As a family member, you should be more cautious. Cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and elderly people can easily become critical. One moment of carelessness, and it could be too late. The situation today was quite serious. But don't worry, there's no immediate danger. However, the doctor said it's quite complicated," Jiang Rongrong said.

As she spoke, Jiang Rongrong led the woman to the ward.

"Qin Chuan, the patient's family has arrived. Please explain the situation to her first, and then I'll take her to complete the admission procedures. Otherwise, we won't be able to get the necessary medications," Jiang Rongrong said.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Qin Chuan from the emergency department," Qin Chuan said.

"Dr. Qin, this is my mother, Zhang Rong. I'm Ji Xia," the patient's daughter, Ji Xia, introduced herself.

"Has your mother had any previous illnesses?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, she's usually very healthy and rarely takes any medication. She came to Xingsha to visit me a few days ago. After staying for two days, she insisted on coming back. I had to work, so I didn't have time to come back. I let her return on her own. Who would have thought this would happen? I couldn't reach her in the afternoon, and my family said she hadn't returned home. I was very worried, and then I received a call from the police station. I rushed over as quickly as possible," Ji Xia said.

"The patient's condition is very serious. She has been temporarily rescued, but the condition is still there. Currently, we are maintaining her vital signs in the emergency department, and a consultation is needed to determine the specific situation," Qin Chuan said.

Ji Xia was immediately panicked, tears streaming down her face, "Doctor, you must save my mother. She's only 56 years old. She sent me to finish my Ph.D., and she hasn't had a single good day."

"Don't be like this, hold on. Although the situation is serious, there is still a good chance of recovery. Some specific test results haven't come in yet. Once the results are available, I will arrange a consultation for your mother and then determine the treatment plan. However, you need to prepare yourself. This is a serious illness, and it's not something that can be cured easily. So, please call your important family members to discuss the treatment options, which will require your consent," Qin Chuan said.

"Doctor, do whatever is necessary. I'll follow your advice," Ji Xia said.

"Don't worry. I'm just preparing you mentally. The patient's test results haven't come in yet, so we can't confirm the specific situation. Once all the results are in, we can determine the specific situation and formulate a treatment plan. First, please complete the admission procedures with Nurse Jiang. Once the results are in, we will arrange a consultation and determine the treatment plan," Qin Chuan said.

"Dr. Qin, you've been busy for a long time. I'll keep an eye on things here and send the results to you when they come in," Jiang Lingling said.

"Alright, thank you," Qin Chuan didn't think much of it.

"No problem. I'm just idle anyway," Jiang Lingling said.

As soon as Qin Chuan left, Gao Zhanting walked over from the side and said with a smile, "Lingling, why don't you help me keep an eye on things too? I'm quite tired today."

"Dr. Gao, why do you always tease me?" Jiang Lingling's face turned red. She had just graduated from school and was easily embarrassed.

"Lingling, this isn't a good approach. Some people are just like wooden blocks. When you encounter such a person, you need to be more proactive. If you don't take the initiative, they won't even notice you," Gao Zhanting said.

"But if he rejects me, that would be so embarrassing," Jiang Lingling said hesitantly.

"That's a valid concern. Alright, I'll think of a way to help you," Gao Zhanting nodded.
