Chapter 2 Emergency Rescue

  The emergency department of the hospital at Yenching University, today there are especially many students coming to see a doctor, almost all wearing camouflage military training uniforms. The September sun in Yenching is still scorching hot, under this intense sunlight, not a few freshmen have suffered from heatstroke during military training.

  "Dr. Li, didn't you say that a handsome young doctor was coming today? It's already 10 o'clock and he still hasn't arrived?" asked a petite nurse with round cheeks and two small dimples when she smiled, to the head of the school clinic, Dr. Li.

  Dr. Li Jingyi is a woman who has just turned forty, but from her appearance, she doesn't look like she's over thirty-two or three years old. She has served in the emergency department of Yanjing University Hospital for fifteen years and is considered a respected senior in the hospital. In addition to Dr. Li, there are two other doctors and four nurses in the emergency department. At the end of last semester, the original director of the emergency department had reached retirement age, so a new doctor was hired to take over as the director of the emergency department.

  Li Jingyi had read some materials about the new director and knew that he was a high-achieving student who obtained his Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School in the United States at the age of 22, and was a top expert in emergency medicine. Li Jingyi still had great respect for this new director. Not to mention other things, just being a graduate of Harvard Medical School was enough to intimidate her, as it was one of the world's top medical schools, without exception.

  Li Jingyi was a very punctual doctor, she looked at the time and it was almost 10 o'clock, but the new doctor had not arrived yet. She felt a little displeased with this doctor in her heart. As a doctor, one's sense of time is very important, after all, it's a matter of life and death, there can't be any carelessness. Even if your medical skills are excellent, without a sense of time, you will delay the patient's treatment, what's the use of having excellent medical skills? A person without medical ethics, no matter how excellent their medical skills are, is a waste.

  "What's the point of doing your own thing and worrying about others?" Li Jingyi said lightly, taking a sip. Today, there were unusually many students coming to the school clinic, especially during the first month after the start of the new semester in September. Almost all day long, the two doctors were overwhelmed with work, and most of these students had varying degrees of heatstroke, while a few older students had food poisoning.

  The little beauty with a round face stuck out her tongue and made a ghostly face before quickly running off to busy herself.

  Dr. Li Jingyi is actually a good talker, but just now the round-faced nurse mentioned that new doctor who started working late by two hours and still hasn't arrived, and he's even the new director of the emergency department. As a leader, he doesn't have the demeanor of a leader at all. Plus, originally thought the old director had retired, this emergency department has its own seniority, and medical skills are also the most outstanding. Even if it's a mud person with a local accent, suddenly a Harvard Medical School graduate emerged out of nowhere, Dr. Li Jingyi was somewhat displeased in her heart, so she spoke to the round-faced beauty a bit sharply.

  "Next!" Li Jingyi shouted towards the office door, outside of which three or four people were still waiting in line. It was only 10 o'clock in the morning and already more than a dozen students with heatstroke had arrived. How would they be able to handle it this afternoon? And yet some of these students with heatstroke actually just needed to rest for a bit and would be fine, but instead they insisted on rushing over to join the commotion, making things even busier.

  Xiao Lin arrived at Yanjing University when it was almost 10:30. The original 20-minute journey took nearly three hours, making Xiao Lin feel a little fearful of the roads in Yanjing. If this happens again in the future, even if there's no traffic jam, she'll have to leave at least an hour earlier during rush hour.

  From the shaded path, I saw students participating in military training on the playground, each wearing camouflage uniforms, with an infinite youthfulness radiating from their tender faces, as if they had returned to the barracks, which gave Xiao Lin a familiar feeling.

  QQ car drove on the campus road, looking at the corridors and woods on both sides of the road, where female college students were wearing cool summer clothes. Xiao Lin sighed in his heart: "It's really a beautiful landscape! Why didn't I find it before? I'll make up for it later." Xiao Lin did not rush to the school hospital because he was two hours late.

  Xiao Lin had never been to Yanjing University before, but he quickly found the location of the school hospital because on the way, he happened to see two groups of people supporting a classmate in the same direction. Xiao Lin only took a glance at the student being supported behind him and knew that this student was already mildly heat-stroked. He estimated that they were going to the school hospital for treatment, so he slowly followed them over while appreciating the beauty of the girls, why not?

  Xiao Lin found a parking spot and stopped the car, walking to the entrance of the school hospital just as the last group of students supporting their classmate with heatstroke were entering the hall. It seemed that even asking where the emergency room was could be skipped. However, in the next second, Xiao Lin saw that the student with heatstroke suddenly went limp, and the two students supporting her almost stumbled, losing balance for a moment, causing all three to fall to the ground.

  Fortunately, they had already arrived at the school hospital's hall, and upon seeing the three people fall to the ground, three nurses immediately came over to help, and with a flurry of activity, they helped the people get back up.

  "He's fainted!" A nurse exclaimed in surprise: "Quickly send him to the emergency room, this student is probably suffering from severe heatstroke!"

  Xiao Lin took a distant glance at the student who had fainted, his entire face deathly pale, breathing slightly rapid, and he had passed out. Xiao Lin took another look, this was indeed the manifestation of severe heatstroke. However, looking at that heat-stricken classmate, Xiao Lin felt it wasn't just that simple. To say now, the sun wasn't even that big, even if it was heatstroke, at most it would be mild, and after taking some heatstroke medicine and resting for a bit, he should be fine.

  Unless accompanied by other illnesses, it is absolutely impossible to have a heat stroke at this depth. Xiao Lin followed up and walked behind that group of nurses.

  Emergency room, Dr. Li Jingyi had just prescribed some medicine for a classmate with mild heatstroke, when she saw a large group of people rushing in from outside the door. The first to rush in were nurses from other departments, who said to Dr. Li: "Dr. Li, this classmate fainted as soon as she arrived at the school hospital lobby! According to her classmates, she was suffering from heatstroke earlier!" The nurse quickly told Dr. Li everything she knew.

  Upon hearing that the heat stroke had turned into syncope, Dr. Li Jingyi didn't dare to slack off either. This heat stroke can be big or small; if it's minor, taking some medicine might be enough, but if it's severe, it could even threaten a person's life.

  "What are you bringing me here for? Take him straight to the emergency room, I'll go right away!" Li Jingyi was also a very decisive person, and as soon as she finished speaking, she stood up.

  After helping the severely heat-stroked classmate into the emergency room, Li Jingyi began to observe and then turned around intending to ask the names of the two classmates who had helped bring her over. However, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be an extra person in the emergency room - a young man, looking about twenty years old, probably an older student at school. As a very professional person, especially when it came to treating patients, Li Jingyi couldn't help but furrow her brow upon seeing the young man standing in the emergency room and said: "Who are you? Don't you know this is the emergency room? Hurry up and get out!"

  Xiao Lin bitterly smiled, today was the second time he was chased out by a doctor, did he really look that unlike a doctor?

  "This classmate is probably not just severely heat-stroked, maybe her heatstroke was triggered by other illnesses!" Xiao Lin said very decisively, without paying attention to Li Jingyi's anger.

  Li Jingyi had observed that the other party was indeed suffering from severe heatstroke, but whether it was triggered by other diseases, Li Jingyi couldn't tell. After all, the school hospital's medical equipment was a bit outdated, and Li Jingyi hadn't seen this kind of condition before.

  "Are you a doctor too?" A huge question mark appeared on Li Jingyi's head, how could there be such a young doctor, looking no more than twenty years old.

  "Hello, are you Dr. Li Jingyi from the emergency room? I'm Xiao Lin!" Xiao Lin said with a slight smile.

  "Ah, you...you're Xiao Lin Xiao...Doctor!" Li Jingyi didn't expect that the resume said Xiao Lin was 24 or 25 years old, so why did he look so young? And also, he seemed a bit different from the photo.

  "Money back guarantee!" Xiao Lin smiled, then put down his backpack and walked over to the heat-stroked student, asking: "What degree of heat stroke did Dr. Li say it was?"

  "I think it's severe heat stroke, these new recruits just started military training, the direct sunlight penetrated through their skin and skull, causing brain cell damage, leading to cerebral congestion and edema. They said they fainted as soon as they entered the hall, so it should be sunstroke!" Dr. Li Jingyi was still quite professional, answering fluently.

  Xiao Lin nodded and did not refute Dr. Li Jingyi's judgment, which was not wrong in this situation. Xiao Lin looked at the classmate, then grabbed her left hand and took a look, using two fingers to probe her neck, her face becoming increasingly serious. After careful observation, she turned back to Dr. Li Jingyi and said: "Dr. Li, I think the other party is not just heatstroke, but also has physical weakness and blood deficiency. I suspect it's severe heatstroke caused by anemia, but what degree of anemia needs further examination!"

  The school clinic is just for minor illnesses like fever and cold, if you want to check for anemia, the school clinic doesn't have that kind of equipment. I thought for a moment and said: "But we don't have that kind of device!"

  "Do you have silver needles and alcohol lamps here?" Xiao Lin asked.

  "Yes, yes!" Li Jingyi nodded and then turned to the nurse beside her: "Xiao Tang, go to my office and bring over a box of silver needles and an alcohol lamp!"

  Xiao Lin thought for a moment, turned around, and gently massaged several acupoints on the student's body with both hands. The originally pale face seemed to have improved slightly, with a hint of blood color returning.

  Not long after, the nurse named Xiao Tang brought a box of silver needles and an alcohol lamp over. Xiao Lin opened the box, selected three 3-inch-long silver needles, lit the alcohol lamp, placed the silver needles on top of it to sterilize them, and then, with swift movements, inserted the three silver needles into the student's head in an instant.

  Looking at the three shiny silver needles inserted on her head, the people around her, including Dr. Li Jingyi, almost all had their mouths agape, with a sense of incredulity.

  "Will this be alright?" Li Jingyi asked aloud.

  Xiao Lin didn't respond, her eyes fixed on the student's reaction. More than ten seconds passed, but the student showed no response. Xiao Lin's expression turned serious, and she took out another silver needle. This time, she didn't burn it with the alcohol lamp, but instead dipped it in a bit of alcohol before slowly inserting it into the acupoint on her neck, occasionally rotating the needle as she watched the student's reaction.

  Five seconds later, the student's eyelids and hands moved, and Xiao Lin slowly pulled out the silver needle. Soon, the student woke up.

  Xiao Lin secretly took a deep breath, the situation just now was quite critical. If Li Jingyi had only treated this student according to severe heatstroke, even if he didn't die, it's estimated that he would have been left with half his life. And if there was any carelessness, it could even endanger his life.

  The student's condition is quite bad, and he must have been suffering from chronic aplastic anemia. If it wasn't handled properly just now, it could easily turn into acute aplastic anemia.

  Xiao Lin first used traditional Chinese medicine to relieve her stagnant Qi and blood, then secretly input a thread of true energy to enhance her resistance. Only then did he dare use the silver needle to stimulate her brain nerves, awakening her dormant potential. Otherwise, with her physical condition, it was still uncertain whether she could withstand it. The last needle was because the previous three needles were inserted too quickly, slowly helping her Qi and blood return to calmness, which finally made her wake up.

  For these, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't say anything to Li Jingyi, even if she did, she wouldn't learn it. Turning around to look at the others, they all had a stunned expression, and smiled: "Alright, she's fine now, first help her take some medicine for anemia, then give her an IV drip, tomorrow when you come over, I'll prescribe another round of medication, let her slowly recover!"

  "He's so handsome, he's so handsome!" This was what the three little nurses and the two female classmates who accompanied them thought in their hearts. They were stunned, not because Xiao Lin's medical skills were amazing, but because he had inserted a needle into someone's brain to save them. Since Xiao Lin appeared, they couldn't take their eyes off him, and the shock in their hearts was palpable. Especially now that Xiao Lin smiled and spoke, it was mesmerizing.

  Dr. Li Jingyi's sighs, of course, focused more on Xiao Lin's medical skills, which should be acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine. Although the school hospital also has this department, the doctors inside can only prescribe some prescriptions to cure headaches and fever, who has Xiao Lin's skills?

  "Dr. Li, is this classmate suffering from heatstroke caused by anemia?" Dr. Li Jingyi asked.

  "Hmm, it can also be said that after heatstroke, she originally had chronic regenerative anemia. If not handled properly, following the usual method for treating heatstroke, there's a high possibility of transforming into refractory regenerative hemolytic anemia!" Xiao Lin nodded and said.

  As a doctor, Li Jingyi naturally knew the difference between the two, but was shocked to the point of breaking out in cold sweat. If it weren't for the arrival of the new director today, perhaps a life-threatening medical incident would have occurred. Instead, she felt grateful to Xiao Lin, and the previous resentment had long since disappeared.
