Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 589 - Chapter 589 【589】Seeking help from a teacher

Chapter 589: [(589)] Seeking help from a teacher Chapter 589: [(589)] Seeking help from a teacher By the time they got to the third-tier hospital, the pre-operative preparations involved numerous steps; just getting a doctor available for surgery to come check on the patient was difficult without personal connections, and a delay of about two hours was considered normal. The worst part was that not all patients could afford to wait that long. Just like how her grandfather back then and Mother Dongzi now couldn’t afford to waste any time.

Back in those days, there was no emergency green channel; it all depended on whether the patient had connections inside the hospital and entirely on the attitude and willingness of the emergency room doctors. Like today’s Doctor Ye, she specializes in internal medicine and was too busy to take on a colleague’s patient. To put it plainly, her expertise in internal medicine wasn’t what the patient needed right now; what they urgently required was a surgeon.

The reason why her maternal aunt and her husband, who were both surgeons, held a higher social status was precisely because of this. After her rebirth, she knew she had to become a surgeon herself; at the very least, she could save the lives of her own family.

Xie Wanying’s chest suddenly tightened, and she took a breath, “I must find someone now.” She made a call to her instructor, “Teacher Ren.”

“I didn’t see your car following behind us.” Ren Chongda had not arrived at Guoxie and asked about their ambulance on the way.

“Mother Dongzi’s injuries suddenly worsened, and we had to redirect to the closest Beidu Third Hospital. Teacher Ren, Beidu Third Hospital says there’s no surgeon available to see the patient; what should we do?” Xie Wanying was brief and reported swiftly.

“Beidu Third Hospital Emergency?” Ren Chongda touched his forehead, “Isn’t your Teacher Tan from Beidu? He should be very familiar with them.”

Upon hearing the instructor’s words, Xie Wanying understood, “I’ll call Teacher Tan.”

After the phone line went dead, Ren Chongda stared at his mobile phone, suddenly recalling that the student’s voice had sounded off on the call: Was the student crying?

Dudu dudu, the mobile phone on the desk in the office rang.

After the noontime break, Tan Kelin put on his white coat and noticed the incoming call on his phone, squinting his single-eyelid eyes: A call from the student?

It seemed as if Xie Wanying, the student, had never called him before. Tan Kelin reflected and could not recall any previous call from this student.

“Student Xiao Xie is calling Teacher Tan?” Sun Yubo, standing not too far away, saw this and expressed his astonishment with a hiss.

Picking up the mobile phone, Tan Kelin asked, “What’s the matter?”

Teacher Tan was always straight to the point, so Xie Wanying reported directly, “Teacher Tan, Teacher Ren and I came across a traffic accident victim on the road; we were able to save the child. The child’s mother was in a bad condition halfway and was taken to Beidu Third Hospital Emergency. I fear she has a ruptured abdominal aorta, but there are no surgeons here in the emergency room to see her.”

“Did the nurse call the surgical department to ask?” Tan Kelin wanted to confirm the student’s statement.

“They said they did, but I’m not sure how many times they’ve called.”

“Did you argue with someone there?”

With keen insight, Teacher Tan hit the nail on the head. Xie Wanying said, “Teacher, you know my temperament; I wouldn’t argue with anyone without a reason, and I wouldn’t lose my temper with anyone.”

This student was indeed exceptionally calm. Tan Kelin furrowed his brows in thought: “Tell me more about the situation. Is the patient’s condition really critical?”

The student was a rookie and might not be fully aware of the hospital emergency procedures; if the patient’s condition wasn’t urgent, the emergency doctor had to take care of more critical patients first.

“It’s very urgent, Teacher. On the ambulance on the way here, the patient’s heart rate had already jumped to 120 beats per minute, and under fluid resuscitation, the blood pressure fell to 82/51.”
