Chapter 1359 – I will do the surgery
Inside the ambulance.
Dong Xuebing got into the ambulance and pressed on Zeng Jinhua’s acupuncture points without saying anything. An astonishing scene unfolded.
Blood pressure is rising…
Heart rate started rising, too…
Everyone stared in amazement.
They even noticed that Jinhua’s pale complexion improved slightly. The electrocardiogram also stabilized a bit.
What kind of medical skill is this?
This is too miraculous!
Doctor Wang, Doctor Qian, and several nurses were all a bit slow to react. “Mayor, what are you doing?”
This was the first time they had witnessed a technique that could elevate a patient’s blood pressure and heartbeat without relying on medication.
Dong Xuebing, seeing the vital signs improving, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the localized REVERSE had some effect. He then explained, “I’ve studied traditional Chinese medicine.”
Traditional Chinese medicine?
Is traditional Chinese medicine so powerful?
Even someone on the brink of death can be saved.
However, Dong Xuebing knows that it would not work many times. He explained, “It won’t be effective after a few attempts. It is similar to your injections.” He had tested it on Sun Kai previously. Although REVERSE can save a life, using it three or four times becomes ineffective. After all, even if he uses REVERSE to restore the body, it continues deteriorating as long as the wound isn’t healed.”
Chu Peng anxiously asked, “How long can Jinhua hold on?”
Dong Xuebing replied, “Probably not more than eight minutes.”
Their hope was quickly extinguished. Chu Peng could barely stand.
“Secretary Chu,” a staff beside him quickly supported him.
Suddenly, a small car rushed to the entrance of the family quarters. Two elderly people in their seventies or eighties got out. They seemed to be a couple, and the old man had difficulty walking. He had to use a walking stick.
Many Party Committee members recognized them at a glance.
Chu Peng’s face turned pale. “Mom and Dad.” They were his parents-in-law.
The old lady rushed forward, “Where’s Jinhua? How is my daughter? What happened to my daughter?”
Chu Peng gritted his teeth and said, “Jinhua… she might not make it.”
The elderly man behind also became furious upon hearing the news. “Impossible! Nonsense! How could it be impossible?”
Chu Peng replied, “Jinhua has been rescued and is in the ambulance. But her injuries are too severe. She can’t hold on until we reach the hospital. The surgeons have not arrived yet. They won’t make it in time.”
The old lady burst into tears instantly. She slapped Chu Peng across the face. “You scoundrel!”
Chu Peng’s cheeks turned red from the slap, but he remained silent.
Several County officials and staff quickly held the two elderly people back.
Pointing at Chu Peng, the old lady exclaimed, “How did you assure us when we entrusted Jinhua to you? You promised to protect her for a lifetime! And now, look! You’ve been here the whole day, and you didn’t know your wife was trapped in the building. What kind of husband are you? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my daughter, it’s your fault!”
Chu Peng couldn’t retort. “It’s my responsibility.”
He had been regretful all along. Jinhua left after an argument with him. After the incident happened, Chu Peng spent the entire day evacuating people and handling aftermath affairs without realizing his wife was missing. He only found out in the evening, leading to the current situation. Chu Peng felt all the responsibility was on him for not caring for his wife.
The old man, using a walking stick for support, approached angrily. He pointed at Chu Peng, and he didn’t say a word. Instead, he pushed through the crowd and limped to the back of the ambulance.
The old lady hurriedly went to check on her daughter.
But when she saw the unconscious Jinhua in the ambulance, both elderly parents couldn’t hold back their tears. “Jinhua, what happened to you? Open your eyes, and say something to Mum. Don’t scare me.”
The old man clenched his fists. “Jinhua.”
Doctor Wang and a nurse stepped forward to block them. Of course, they could not let them get into the ambulance. If they caused a commotion and inadvertently caused the steel bar to penetrate further into Jinhua, there would be no chance of her surviving, even though the current survival hope was almost zero.
“Jinhua…”
“Let us go in!”
The two elderlies tried to get into the ambulance.
Doctor Wang and the nurse knew they were relatives of a Party Committee leader and dared not stop them.
Secretary Meng walked over. “Please remain calm.”
Chu Peng stood in front of the ambulance to stop the two elderlies. “Dad, Mum, the doctors are saving Jinhua. We still got hope.” He clenched his teeth and said. “I believe Jinhua will survive this. Let the doctors save her.”
The old lady shouted, “Saving? Why are they not doing anything? Why is there no surgery?”
Chu Peng explained, “The surgeons have not arrived yet. They are on their way. They should be here in half an hour if everything goes well.”
“Half an hour. You know it’s half an hour!” The old man said, “How can my daughter wait? Look at her abdomen! It’s been pierced!”
At this, the old lady cried out again, “Jinhua!”
A nurse suddenly said, “Stop shouting! The patient’s blood pressure is dropping again!”
Another nurse added, “Forty-five, forty… the heart rate is also decreasing.”
Everyone went silent, including the elderly couple, who stopped crying. They stared in horror at the situation inside the ambulance.
Without saying a word, Dong Xuebing pressed a few acupuncture points again. The blood pressure and heartbeat stabilized at a lower level but still relatively steady.
However, this could not be used repeatedly.
Everyone knew that Jinhua was likely in a dire situation.
Jinhua’s parents began shouting and cursing at Chu Peng.
Dong Xuebing looked outside and shouted, “Stop shouting! Who said Madam Zeng could not be saved?”
His words left many people bewildered.
“What?”
“There’s still hope?”
“How can she be saved?”
“Aren’t the surgeons unable to make it in time?”
The County leaders and the surrounding crowd turned to look at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing reached for a nearby white coat, put it on, and grabbed a pair of medical gloves. “The surgical specialists from the county hospital probably won’t make it, but I’ve studied traditional Chinese medicine and know a bit about surgery.”
Doctor Wang exclaimed, “You…”
People found it hard to believe that Duan Xuebin could perform surgery.
Doctor Qian hurriedly said, “Mayor Dong, please don’t mess around. This is no joking matter.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Duan Xuebin put on the gloves. “Everyone else, disperse and keep quiet. Leave three people here as assistants. I’ll take over this surgery.”
