Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 555 - Chapter 555 555 Be Strong

Chapter 555: [555] Be Strong Chapter 555: [555] Be Strong Families coming to witness this scene could feel as though they were seeing the patient for the last time before their death.

This undoubtedly had a significant psychological impact on the relatives.

Doctors heal the sick and save lives, but they also must consider the emotional state of the patient when they leave this world. Patients hope their families won’t suffer too much because of their departure. This was particularly true for Aunt Wang. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept her illness a secret from her family after it became serious.

Regardless, they had to try to wait for Mingming to arrive before declaring the patient deceased.

Xie Wanying performed each cardiac compression with utmost care.

Li Qi’an, who watched her perform the compressions, gradually stopped shaking his hands and feet, perhaps sensing the words in her heart.

Hold on, just hold on, hold on until Mingming arrives.

“I, I need to do–” Li Qi’an stepped forward, walked to the bedside, pushed Xie Wanying aside, placed his hands one over the other on the patient’s chest, and the moment he pressed down, it seemed as if the patient’s heartbeat could come back to life once more. This miraculous feeling made his eyes shine brightly as he began to press down forcefully.

Xie Wanying, pushed aside by him, watched his expression and stepped back to let him continue. After all, among everyone there, he had the deepest connection with Aunt Wang.

Footsteps gradually echoed through the corridor.

Gao Zhaocheng was the first to arrive, dashing in and immediately understanding from the scene in front of him that the patient was beyond help, he stopped in his tracks.

“Mingming, hurry–” Miao Fen, panting as she ran through the hospital with her son, burst into the ward with him, and upon seeing the doctor performing cardiac compressions on her mother-in-law, her tears fell like a dam had burst and she cried out loudly, “Mom, Mom–”

Mingming’s small eyes looked at his motionless grandmother, tears streaming down in fear: “What’s wrong with Grandma?”

“Your grandmother is gone, your grandmother is gone!” Miao Fen hugged her son tightly and sobbed loudly.

It was a sight no one could bear to see. The patients in the same ward who could move had hurriedly got out of bed to avoid the situation as soon as the rescue began. Now, only the medical staff remained, holding their ground to the last.

Yue Wentong and Lin Hao slowed their pace upon hearing the wailing from the ward. Gao Zhaocheng likely wanted to give the interns more experience, which is why he informed Yue Wentong. Lin Hao, sharing a dorm with Yue Wentong, had followed him after learning the news.

The two of them reached the entrance of the ward and peered inside, seeing Li Qi’an performing cardiac compression on the patient. A look of astonishment appeared on their faces.

Li Qi’an’s face was drenched with sweat, his stance almost faltering, yet he continued to press down with force…

Was it the teacher’s pressure?

Sun Yubo and Gao Zhaocheng stood by silently, neither telling Li Qi’an to stop nor to continue.

Xie Wanying tried to approach her classmate, saying, “Let me help you with a few compressions.”

Li Qi’an acted as if he didn’t hear her, or perhaps he heard her but absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone, including her, to take his place. As he pressed down, he seemed possessed, as if with each compression the patient’s heartbeat really came back, as if Aunt Wang truly returned from the land of the dead. No one knew better than him the significance of Aunt Wang to himself.

Before, everyone had thought he wouldn’t make it as a doctor. Even Xie Wanying, who treated him the best, hadn’t said it out loud, but she must have thought the same as everyone else, that he wasn’t doing well enough.

Only Aunt Wang was convinced that he could absolutely become a good doctor. Perhaps Mingming’s presence led everyone to mistakenly believe that Aunt Wang had lost her mind and mistaken him for Mingming. But Aunt Wang had spoken to him in private, asking him to be Mingming’s doctor and teacher in the future.
