Chapter 61

Zhang Guishan drove the power repair truck to Guiyuan Road. The truck parked to the side, and the power cables had already been torn and were messily coiled on the ground.

Zhang Guishan parked the truck to the side, then jumped off, "What's going on here? How many times has this happened in a month? I told the Guiyuan Street Office, this power line can't be set up like this. Nowadays, the phenomenon of trucks being too high is very common. If this continues, I'll have to come here once or twice a month."

"Director Zhang, we still need your help this time. A neighborhood in our area has lost power. The biggest concern now is that the power lines are scattered on the ground. If someone gets electrocuted, it will be a big problem," said Wang Jianmin, the director of the Guiyuan Street Office.

"That's not a concern. I've already turned off the power," said Zhang Guishan.

"Turning off the power doesn't solve the problem. A neighborhood has lost power. What if someone turns the power back on? I've been worried about this all day and have been guarding here for a long time. I think you should reconnect the lines as soon as possible," said Wang Jianmin.

"Alright, I'll temporarily reconnect them, but this can't go on forever. You need to find a way to change the route. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to take the responsibility. You don't want anything to happen here either. But if it's not fixed, it's a ticking time bomb," said Sun Guiping.

"I understand that. But I don't have the authority to decide. I need to submit a report. Besides, it's also up to your power company to handle this," said Wang Jianmin.

Zhang Guishan knew that talking wouldn't help, and he still had to reconnect the lines. After connecting one end, he went to connect the other.

Street official Lei Zhi saw a crack on the power pole and quickly said, "Director Zhang, don't go up yet. The power pole seems to be cracked."

"No problem, it's just an old crack. It's been there for a while. If it was going to fall, it would have fallen already," said Zhang Guishan nonchalantly.

When he got to the top of the power pole and was about to pull the cable, Zhang Guishan suddenly felt the pole shake.

"Oh my, I should have listened to Lei Zhi and not come up," Zhang Guishan felt something was wrong and tried to slowly climb down.

"Director Zhang, why are you coming down... Ah!" Before Wang Jianmin could finish his sentence, he saw the power pole suddenly sway and then fall straight down.

Zhang Guishan jumped to the side to avoid the falling pole. Jumping from a height of six or seven meters is quite challenging for an ordinary person. After landing, Zhang Guishan lay on the ground, motionless, with blood coming from his mouth.

"Big trouble! Big trouble! Quickly, call 120!" Wang Jianmin was stunned, looking at the motionless Zhang Guishan on the ground.

A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived with sirens blaring.

Wang Jianmin and others waved their hands to stop the ambulance.

As soon as the ambulance stopped, the back door opened, and Qin Chuan jumped out, followed by He Xiaokang.

"Doctor, save him quickly, he just fell from the power pole," Wang Jianmin shouted.

"Don't panic!" Qin Chuan said, quickly walking over and checking the victim's neck pulse. He found a weak pulse. Seeing blood coming from the victim's mouth, he wasn't sure if the victim had a head injury or severe internal bleeding. He opened the victim's eyes with his fingers and shone a flashlight, finding a weak reaction to light.

After a thorough examination, Qin Chuan found that the victim's legs were broken and there was a wound on his head. It seemed that the victim had landed on his feet, causing both legs to break, and his body had fallen to the side of the road, hitting the concrete curb of the roadside green belt. It was unclear if there was any internal bleeding.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan had often watched simulations in the "Genius Doctor System," and he had practiced these scenarios. So, he was calm and quick in his response. He briefly treated Zhang Guishan and, with He Xiaokang's help, lifted him onto the stretcher and into the ambulance.

"Who is in charge here? Come with us to the hospital," Qin Chuan said.

"I am, I am," Wang Jianmin didn't shirk responsibility. Even if the situation was serious, he had no fault, and the responsibility would fall on the organization, so he was quite calm. Wang Jianmin got into the ambulance.

"Name of the victim," Qin Chuan prepared to write down the victim's basic information on the way, as he wouldn't have time to write the medical records during the rescue.

"Zhang Guishan, an employee of the Tan Shan City Power Bureau. Actually, this has nothing to do with me. He is an employee of the power bureau. The cable near Guiyuan Neighborhood was broken, and he came to repair it. Now that something has happened, we have no responsibility. Moreover, when Zhang Guishan went up, our staff had already warned him, but he didn't listen, and we couldn't do anything about it," said Wang Jianmin.

"Zhang Guishan?" Qin Chuan felt the name was familiar but couldn't immediately recall where he had heard it.

"What? Do you know him?" He Xiaokang asked curiously.

Qin Chuan shook his head, "No, just feels familiar."

"Searching for someone with this name on Baidu would yield tens of thousands of results. It's not unusual to have heard the name," He Xiaokang laughed.

Qin Chuan thought it made sense and didn't delve into where he had heard Zhang Guishan's name.

"Can you contact his family?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Probably not. Why don't you check his phone? There must be his family's contact information," said Wang Jianmin.

"That works." Qin Chuan, as an emergency doctor, had encountered this situation before. He searched Zhang Guishan's body and found his phone.

"It's locked. There's no way to access it," Qin Chuan said, seeing that the phone was password-protected.

"Isn't he from the power bureau? Why don't you contact his workplace?" He Xiaokang suggested.

"Right, I know their number. The cable in our street has been broken several times. Each time, I contact the power bureau. I've been telling them to move the line, but they've been dragging their feet, and now something has happened," Wang Jianmin said, pulling out the power bureau's number and calling them.

Fortunately, the power bureau hadn't closed for the day.

"Hello, is this the power bureau? Your Director Zhang Guishan has had an accident. Today, a cable in our Guiyuan Street was broken, and while Director Zhang was connecting the line, the power pole broke, and he fell. He is being taken to the hospital. The details are unclear. Please send someone over. We can't contact his family, so please see if your organization can reach them," Wang Jianmin informed the power bureau.

"It's taken care of. I've already notified his workplace. They will try to contact his family," Wang Jianmin said.

By the time they arrived at the emergency room of the central hospital, Qin Chuan immediately opened the ambulance door and jumped out.

Jiang Lingling and others had already brought the stretcher over.

"1, 2, 3, lift!" Several people worked together to move Zhang Guishan onto the stretcher.

"Quickly, contact for an emergency head CT scan," Qin Chuan said.

"We've already arranged it. As soon as you arrive, we can proceed," Jiang Lingling said.

"Also, take X-rays of the legs. This can wait. There shouldn't be any issues," Qin Chuan said.

The test results came back, and there was no intracranial bleeding. Zhang Guishan had fainted from the pain, and both legs were fractured. He had regained consciousness during the examination and immediately started screaming, clearly feeling the intense pain.

Qin Chuan contacted the orthopedic department, and Li Yigang arrived shortly after.

"We don't have any beds today, so he'll have to stay in the emergency room," Li Yigang said, looking at the X-rays and turning to Qin Chuan.

"We're also very tight on beds. What if an emergency comes in?" Qin Chuan wanted to transfer Zhang Guishan to the orthopedic department.

"There are no beds. He'll have to stay here. You know, patients in our department usually stay for ten to fifteen days. When we have a bed available, we'll transfer him," Li Yigang said.

"Alright, let's do that," Qin Chuan said helplessly.

"Doctor Qin, why don't you switch to orthopedics?" Li Yigang put down the X-rays.

"What? Am I suited for orthopedics? I'd actually like to go to orthopedics. It's quieter than the emergency room," Qin Chuan laughed.

"Quieter? You'll see how quiet it is in orthopedics. Patients either have missing limbs or broken bones. When you first join the orthopedic department, you won't be able to eat for a month," Li Yigang said.

"Don't talk about that. We in the emergency room see just as much. I've been to countless accident scenes in the few months I've been here. I've seen it all," Qin Chuan said.

"Seriously, your bone realignment skills are really impressive. Even our specialists might not do as well. As an emergency doctor, you should just know CPR and intubation. Why do you know so much? If everyone is like you, we won't have jobs," Li Yigang said.

"I like hearing that," Qin Chuan laughed.

People from Zhang Guishan's workplace and his family arrived.

"Guishan, how are you?" A well-dressed middle-aged man walked in.

"Brother, I..." Zhang Guishan's tears rolled down. He might be worried about whether he would be able to walk again. The man was Zhang Guishan's brother, Zhang Guiping, who was the pillar of the Zhang family. Zhang Guishan had grown up following his brother's lead.

"Don't worry. I just asked the doctor, and the bone realignment is good. There's a good chance of a full recovery. I haven't told Mom or your family. We'll wait until you stabilize before telling them."
