"What's going on? What's the condition of the patient?"
As a voice echoed, several doctors and nurses from the emergency department walked up. The leading doctor, Tang Zheng recognized, was his former teacher, Dr. Yu Limin, the deputy director of the neurology department at Zhonghai First Hospital. Beside him was Xu Li.
Dr. Yu Limin did not speak but walked directly to the girl, crouched down, and carefully examined her. He used his fingers to pry open the girl's pupils, and Tang Zheng clearly saw that they were somewhat dilated, a sign of danger to life.
Dr. Yu Limin said in a deep voice, "Arrange for an ICU ward immediately, and start oxygen therapy. The girl's breathing is already weakening. We need to improve her respiratory function now. Set up monitoring equipment to monitor her heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Prepare emergency equipment!"
The orders were given calmly and confidently, demonstrating the professionalism of a doctor from a major hospital. To be honest, Dr. Yu Limin was indeed very capable. However, Tang Zheng shook his head at this moment. This was a general situation, a case of hysteria or some sudden illness. Handling it this way was quite good and appropriate for the symptoms. But now, the girl's soul was already in chaos. In other words, there was an additional rogue soul in her mind. If left untreated, the direct consequence would be a shattered soul, or in medical terms, brain death.
At this moment, Dr. Yu Limin stood up, preparing to start the emergency treatment.
A boy who was with Dr. Yu Limin helped the nurses move the girl to a stretcher. Tang Zheng followed and whispered to the boy, "A Li, this girl is in mortal danger. Dr. Yu's approach definitely won't work. This isn't ordinary hysteria."
Tang Zheng's words made Xu Li pause, and he whispered back, "Boss, don't cause trouble here. This morning, Wu Bowen came early with a bandage on his head. He asked right away if you had come to work. He looked very angry and said that when you come, you shouldn't work but go to the medical affairs office directly."
"A Li, listen to me. I'm not causing trouble. This is absolutely true. This girl is not suffering from ordinary hysteria. This is a manifestation of a disordered soul. In simple terms, there is an additional rogue soul in her mind, fighting with her own soul, causing her consciousness to be confused. From the outside, it looks like hysteria. But if this continues, her soul will be neutralized, leading to brain death. Even before that, you can see her spontaneous breathing is almost gone. Next, her heartbeat will stop. Don't think that breathing and circulation are supported by nothing. In fact, they are supported by the soul," Tang Zheng said with great seriousness.
At this moment, Xu Li also became serious. He knew Tang Zheng well. They were in the same school, the same department, the same class, and even the same dormitory. Xu Li knew that Tang Zheng was a man of his word. Although he was usually very humorous, he was not a man without principles. Since Tang Zheng said this, the matter must be very serious.
Looking at Tang Zheng, he asked, "What should we do? How do you know all this? You're not saying you can save her, are you?"
Xu Li's words were just a casual courtesy. Seeing how certain and confident Tang Zheng was, Xu Li subconsciously thought that Tang Zheng might be able to treat this condition.
However, to his surprise, Tang Zheng said seriously, "Yes, I have an 80% chance. But you need to help me by distracting Dr. Yu and the nurses. Leave the rest to me."
Tang Zheng's words almost made Xu Li jump. Looking at Tang Zheng, Xu Li whispered, "Are you kidding, Boss? You should know the consequences of this. If you fail, you will bear criminal responsibility. The hospital will not stand up for you at this time."
Tang Zheng nodded but said extremely seriously, "A Li, I understand what you're saying, but as a doctor, we have a duty to save lives. When we entered the medical profession, we took a solemn oath. I cannot stand by and do nothing. I am willing to try. If we don't save her now, this girl will surely die."
As he spoke, Tang Zheng looked at the middle-aged woman beside him, who was about 45 years old. She wore a dark suit and a white, round pearl necklace, which highlighted her extraordinary demeanor. Clearly, she was a woman of the world and very decisive.
Tang Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately turned to the middle-aged woman and said, "Auntie, this is not the first time your daughter has had this condition, right? From the looks of it, it has been at least half a year, and it has been getting worse each time, hasn't it?"
Tang Zheng's words made the middle-aged woman feel as if she had found a lifeline. She grabbed Tang Zheng's hand and said urgently, "How did you know? Doctor, please save my daughter. She developed this condition after a trip six months ago. In the past six months, we have visited hospitals both domestically and abroad, but no one could find the cause. She is only 19 years old, doctor. Please, you must save her. We are willing to pay any amount of money."
After such a long time and so many hospitals, Tang Zheng was the only one who could describe the course and symptoms of the illness. Just by this, the middle-aged woman was convinced that Tang Zheng could save her daughter.
Seeing this, Xu Li's eyes widened, and his mouth opened in disbelief. Could it be that the boss really had a chance?
At this moment, unexpectedly, Tang Zheng suddenly said, "A Li, I remember you bought a set of silver needles when you were interning in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Are they in your white coat?"
After saying this, Tang Zheng took the initiative and pulled out a box of silver needles from Xu Li's white coat pocket. He selected the longest one and walked to the girl's head. Without any hesitation, he felt for the Baihui point on her head and inserted the silver needle directly. Only after the entire needle was inserted did Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
It was his first time using the medical techniques in his mind, and in such a situation, it was impossible not to be nervous. If the knowledge in his mind was fake, his life would be over.
However, fortunately, when Dr. Yu Limin and the nurses came in, the girl, who had been breathing weakly and unconscious, opened her eyes and sat up.
Standing beside the girl, a faint, elegant fragrance of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume wafted over. She was about 1.65 meters tall with a well-proportioned figure. She was dressed in a casual, refreshing outfit, but the brand was quite common. Her features were delicate, and her eyebrows were full of spirit, but they complemented her face very well.
The girl was still a bit dazed, looking at the doctors and nurses around her. She looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Mom, why am I here?"
The middle-aged woman was very excited and hugged the girl tightly, saying, "Nuan Nuan, you scared me to death. Fortunately, this doctor saved you, and he knows about your condition. Now, we have hope for a cure."
Dr. Yu Limin was surprised, full of questions. From the girl's condition, emergency treatment was definitely needed next. He had already notified the cardiologists and neurosurgeons. When he came in, he did not expect the girl to be awake and apparently fine.
Just as he was about to ask, Xu Li stepped forward and whispered, "Master, come here for a moment."
At this moment, the middle-aged woman looked at Tang Zheng and said excitedly, "Doctor, I am so grateful to you. May I ask your name? Is there hope for a cure for my daughter's condition?"
Tang Zheng was also very excited. The girl's awakening indicated that the mysterious medical techniques in his mind were effective. Just now, his technique was to use a silver needle to insert it into the Baihui point, separating the soul's struggle and suppressing the rogue soul. It sounded superstitious, but the facts were right there, and Tang Zheng could not help but believe.
Nodding, he walked to the girl's side, removed the silver needle from her head, and said to the middle-aged woman, "I am Tang Zheng. Your daughter's condition is not caused by her own factors but by some events. Six months ago, she must have gone somewhere. Once we find out where, it will be easy to treat."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was very excited and grabbed Tang Zheng, saying, "Comrade, are you a doctor at Zhonghai First Hospital?"
Just as she said this, Dr. Yu Limin's angry voice came from outside: "Xu Li, what are you doing? Do you know the consequences of this..."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng knew that Dr. Yu was getting angry and instinctively shrank his head. He changed the subject, saying, "Uh, Auntie, let's talk about your daughter's condition tomorrow. I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
