Chapter 445 - 439 Uncle Gu, is it you again?

“Eat something, you’ll soon be busy,” Tang Yuxin had already settled down at one side, started eating the snacks she had bought. Seeing Tang Yuxin eating, Li Jia also began to eat. They were both in the lounge during their break, finishing their snacks. Just as they finished eating, an announcement blasted from the hospital speakers, asking all medical staff to meet injured patients at the entrance.

Caught off guard, Li Jia choked on her food.

Tang Yuxin quickly handed her a cup of water.

“Thank you,” Li Jia patted her chest, raising the cup to her mouth and gulping down the water. By the time they rushed outside, many injured patients had already been delivered.

The patients were wounded, with injuries to their heads or legs and they all appeared to be soldiers in uniform.

“Yuxin, you lead team one,” said Director Zhu, stepping up himself. Despite the sufficient number of doctors in the hospital, it felt overwhelming, and there seemed not enough medical workers for the more severe cases.

“Alright,” Tang Yuxin tugged at Li Jia’s sleeve, “You follow me.”

“Okay,” Li Jia promptly assisted a patient. Ever since the last operation, she no longer doubted Tang Yuxin’s abilities.

“Dr. Tang, the patient has stopped breathing.”

A nurse hastily shouted.

“What?” Tang Yuxin rushed over and placed her hand under the patient’s neck, failing to locate a carotid pulse.

“Li Jia, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation.”

“Yes,” Li Jia hurriedly rushed forward and started chest compressions.

Tang Yuxin hooked her hand around the patient’s neck. Pulling out a silver needle, she inserted it accurately, perhaps due to luck or the patient’s good fate, the patient’s heart began beating again after a while.

Tang Yuxin took over the stethoscope to confirm the heartbeats. After confirming, she laid down the stethoscope and began to feel around with her fingers.

Rib three, rib four fractured. Her fingers moved to the sides, suspecting a spleen rupture, she ordered an ultrasound scan. If proven true, immediate surgery would be required.

Just then, another patient was wheeled in. As she was about to leave, she heard a nurse call out.

“Dr. Tang, please check this patient.”

“Okay, I will be right there,” not noticing any danger with the former patient, Tang Yuxin hurriedly went to examine the new patient. The patient was almost entirely covered in blood, his face smeared with blood couldn’t reveal his current state.

Tang Yuxin grabbed the patient’s hand, and the man weakly returned her grip.

She felt a jolt in her heart, her pupils involuntarily contracting.

That feeling….

She hastily wiped his face, but forgot to breathe when his face was revealed.

How could it be him?

She started to pat his face.

“Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu….”

The man slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness returning slightly, and he tugged at the corner of his dry lips.

“It’s you.”

“Yes, it’s me,” Tang Yuxin squeezed his hand, “Don’t worry, you will be okay. No matter how severe the injury, I will save you.”

Gu Ning gently closed his eyes, his grip on Tang Yuxin’s hand relaxing.@@novelbin@@

Tang Yuxin tightened her hold on Gu Ning’s wrist, then placed her hand on him, trying to identify where he was injured.

There was no external injury and it seemed like there were no fractures either.

However, he’s obviously lost massive amounts of blood.

“Yuxin, look at his wrist,” Li Jia hastily called out to Tang Yuxin, as if she had found something.

Tang Yuxin held up Gu Ning’s arm, noticing that his wrist was bandaged, with blood seeping through it. She carefully unwrapped the gauze, revealing a long cut at the artery on Gu Ning’s wrist. The wound was obviously treated with medicinal powder she had given him which was meant to stop the bleeding and alleviate pain. But even with that, blood was still oozing out.

“Prepare O-type blood,” she ordered the blood be prepared, then cleansed the herbal medicine on Gu Ning’s wrist. Using one hand, she applied pressure to a specific point on Gu Ning’s arm to stop the bleeding.

Li Jia, who watched from the sideline, had bloodshot eyes. This was clearly done intending to drain a person of all their blood, there were also signs of strangulation, it was clear that someone had bound him and then inflicted the cut. It could not possibly be suicide.

After a while, a panting nurse returned.

“Dr. Tang, there is no more O-positive blood available. The hospital is trying to source more blood from other hospitals.”

“You do the stitches,” Tang Yuxin directed Li Jia, then extended her arm, “Draw mine. I’m O-positive.”

“But Dr. Tang…” the other nurses hesitated, “If you donate blood now, the patients outside…”

“Don’t worry, I can manage,” Tang Yuxin knew her limits and wouldn’t overextend herself. The current moment was for saving lives, not for playing the hero. And she was not some sort of hero.

She knew that it was not the appropriate time for her to donate blood. But without blood, Gu Ning was at risk, his organs could be damaged, even leading to cerebral hypoxia.

She couldn’t take that risk.

She wanted Gu Ning to live, live healthily, without fading away, or becoming an invalid.

“Alright,” the nurse didn’t try to convince her anymore. She took out the blood bag and inserted the needle into Tang Yuxin’s vein, drawing approximately 800cc of blood.

This blood quickly improved Gu Ning’s complexion when transfused into him. His furrowed brows relaxed as well.

Li Jia finished stitching the wound; it was done well and meticulously. The stitches were neat and would heal into a clean scar, not leaving a centipede-like scar on the wrist.

Gu Ning had been moved into the ward. He was still unconscious but was out of critical condition.

Soon, several more patients were brought in, all with bandages on their hands. One of them seemed to have suffered a gunshot wound to the left chest.

Looking at the x-ray, the bullet had pierced through the chest, luckily it missed the heart by about a centimeter. Even so, this surgery would be very difficult.

“You must save this person,” a staff member stated, “We’ve expended great efforts to catch him. He almost bled out a Good Samaritan. He set off a bomb, injuring many innocent people.”
