549690339 , “` , Chen Bingsheng was no stranger to life and death, but it was precisely because of this that he valued life all the more., Everyone didn’t want to slip away so easily., Sometimes, life felt like sand held in the hand; when it’s damp, you don’t realize how precious it is, but as the sand dries and slips through your fingertips, you suddenly find that life can no longer be grasped!, Reverence for life is the foremost quality of a doctor!, Ding! Emergency rescue mission triggered, save this patient; successful resuscitation will reward: 1. Stamina Potion 1; 2. Experience 100; 3. RMB 1000;, With the mission triggered, Chen Cang had no time to look!, No matter what the mission was, this person had to be saved—it was a doctor’s duty., “Adrenaline 1ml!”, Chen Cang was already prepared., Their tacit understanding had been honed from the first day of admission., “Continue CPR!”, “Defibrillate, keep defibrillating, increase the voltage!”, Chen Cang continued, but unfortunately…, There was still no response from the patient, and the ventricular fibrillation persisted., After a moment of hesitation, Chen Bingsheng said, “Amiodarone!”, Chen Cang nodded and injected the amiodarone!, If the fibrillation wasn’t stopped, they couldn’t proceed with the subsequent rescue., “Injection complete!”, Chen Bingsheng: “Keep defibrillating!”, The intensive resuscitation environment in the vehicle seemed to make breathing almost come to a halt., Time truly became the hourglass of life., No one knew when it would run out., The man in camouflage was full of hope, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on the heart monitor. He didn’t understand what resuscitation meant, but he knew that if the irregular fluctuating line on the monitor stopped and became flat, life… would be gone., The sweat of tension had already drenched his clothes, and his hands clenched the hems of his garment as if it were the last prayer. At this moment, he felt more tension and fatigue than the hardest physical labor., The irregular bouncing on the heart monitor had become his only hope., He dared not speak, fearing he might disturb the doctors’ rescue efforts., He dared not move, fearing his mistake might cause his fellow villager to never open his eyes again., At this moment, life was truly fragile., This was a gamble with the Grim Reaper!, And the young man had never witnessed such a scene before., Perhaps out of fear, his hands began to tremble, his eyes filled with terror and anxiety, and there was pleading. He was praying for the elder to survive, for the doctor to correct his mistake, for Death to take pity on this young man., Some mistakes, others have to take the blame for you., Some people, carry on despite the heaviness., Suddenly, at that moment, the man in camouflage shivered., Because he saw that the line on the heart monitor had flattened., The man could not hold back, and tears streamed down instantly., “Doctor, it’s gone! There’s no heartbeat, is he dead? Save him! His child is only 6 years old!”, The man in camouflage fell to his knees, and the young man, shocked and bewildered, also knelt down., Both were strong men, iron-willed in their own lives, but at this moment, in the face of a coworker’s life, all of that seemed incredibly cheap., Chen Bingsheng was also taken aback: “Adrenaline 3mg, hurry!”, Chen Cang nodded, with no superfluous movements., Inject!, “`, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation., Chen Bingsheng turned and asked, “How much longer until we reach the hospital?”, Master Yang replied, “One minute and fifteen seconds!”, Indeed, as a 120 ambulance driver., His timing was accurate to the second., This was the lifeline., It was also a journey with Death!, The three milliliters of adrenaline might have taken effect, or maybe it was because Chen Cang’s cardiopulmonary resuscitation had never ceased., The man’s heartbeat appeared., But his vital signs were still not stable., The blood pressure was very low!, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation!, After over ten minutes of intense cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Chen Cang felt as if his arms were no longer his own, but automatic memory kept him going, or perhaps he didn’t dare stop., There it was!, A heartbeat!, Everyone was tensely watching this scene as the vehicle arrived at the emergency room entrance., Qin Yue, who was waiting outside, came up to open the door immediately. Everyone was already too familiar with this procedure., The patient was carried out, and the oxygen tank was set aside., Chen Cang’s arms were sore and he could hardly lift them, so he carefully got out of the ambulance., Qin Yue glanced at Chen Cang and quickly said, “You go and rest first.”, Chen Cang shook his head, “Cardiopulmonary resuscitation must not stop.”, Qin Yue insisted, pulling Chen Cang away, “I’ll do it!”, After saying that, Qin Yue climbed onto the stretcher without any regard for appearances. Thankfully she was slim; she straddled the stretcher, positioning her legs on each side, and began compressing the chest., In that moment, she was not a cute girl, but a warrior!, A white-coated warrior with a strong sense of mission!, Doctors are never angels but warriors, except they protect health and fight against disease and pain., The rescue work became more urgent, as if waging a tug-of-war with Death., The ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation along the way might have had some effect, as heart function began to gradually recover., But…, The trans-thoracic electric shock was not so easily treatable., Chen Bingsheng observed the patient’s status and said to the emergency internist Wu Peng, “Trans-thoracic electric current caused ventricular fibrillation, likely not at a high voltage, probably household voltage, so there weren’t any major problems, but there were over a dozen incidents of ventricular fibrillation en route. I injected a total of 4ml of adrenaline and amiodarone…”, Speaking, Chen Bingsheng lifted the patient’s hands, where two distinct, charred burns appeared, each about 1cm in diameter., Wu Peng, who specialized in cardiology, had his own set of emergency cardiac procedures., He said to Chen Bingsheng, “You’ve worked hard, take a rest now, leave it to me.”, But Chen Cang followed Wu Peng; he hoped to save a life!, It was his obsession with life., Although there were still some issues with the patient’s electrocardiogram, at least there was no ventricular fibrillation. Wu Peng quickly ordered, “Now, run tests right away for cardiac enzymes, urinalysis, myoglobin, and creatine kinase!”, “Call the lab and ask for the results ASAP!”, “Call the echocardiogram room, we need a bedside echocardiogram to check cardiac function!”, Wu Peng arranged things nervously but in an orderly fashion, while Qin Yue stood beside, sweating profusely., Regardless, the patient’s condition had stabilized., Ding! Mission complete, successful resuscitation, patient temporarily out of danger. Reward received: 1. Stamina Potion 1, 2. Experience 100, 3. RMB 1000.
