Chapter 941: Cooperation

“I… I’m… I’m…” Dobin wanted to talk, but he was gasping for breath. Even after several tries, he never got a full sentence out. His face was so red that he looked like frozen shrimp ready to be served.

Zuo Cidian listened carefully,and said to Hospital Director Bo, who was beside him. “Mister New York seems to be talking about us? Do Americans learn the common lingo among Chinese now when they learn Mandarin?”

Hospital Director Bo smiled unkindly, nodded at Zuo Cidian, and said, “Old Zuo, you are quite humorous when you try to be.”

“When you deal with Americans, you have to be humorous, right? In their movies, even if they are busy, are in an intense situation, or in the middle of saving the Earth, they just have to crack a joke first.” After Zuo Cidian finished, he called for an interpreter. “Tell him that I am a doctor of the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital. Ask him if he is allergic to anything, if he is exposed to allergens, and what it might be.”

The interpreter translated his words quickly, and he spoke in such a faltering manner that he could not quite convey the message.

Zuo Cidian and the others were not in a hurry. They all looked at him calmly.

The tears in Dobin’s eyes were about to flow out as he shook his head vigorously.

“Raise a finger if you did not touch an allergen. If you’re not sure, raise up two fingers. If you’ve had a similar situation before, three fingers,” Hospital Director Bo looked at Dobin who had trouble breathing. He decided to give him a multiple-choice question.

Dobin shook his head in pain, then raised two of his fingers.

“Well, he doesn’t seem to be useful to our cause. We can only rely on ourselves now,” Hospital Director Bo mumbled in Mandarin, and he was not afraid that the interpreter might actually make a blunder and translate his words.

“Find a flat place for him so that he can be in a semi-reclining position.” A doctor came over to observe Dobin’s condition and gave a suggestion.

Zuo Cidian said, “Lie on the ground? Hmm, someone, please find some cushions…”

“The floor is a little cold. We have to make sure he doesn’t catch a cold.” Another doctor by the side gave a thoughtful reminder.

“It’s better to lie on the table. It’ll be easier to treat him. How about this bar? Is it too tall?”

“I think the table where they served cold dishes just now is good. But I am not certain if it would hold Mister New York’s weight.”

“Both of you, lift the table with the cold dishes over. Has anyone called the emergency number already?”

Dobin was surrounded by doctors, or at least, by medical-related people like Hospital Director Bo. With everyone giving out ideas on what to do, things were ultimately done in an orderly, calm, composed, relaxed, and leisurely way…

In truth, changing the venue at that moment could lead to alarm and only attract more people’s attention. Hence, the doctors conducted themselves in an organized fashion.

Hospital Director Bo, who could be considered half a host, was neither too nervous nor excited at this time.

At the same time, the doctors discussed.

“Is it anxiety? It’s said that there are a lot of patients with anxiety in America. They faint very easily. By the way, have you seen people with anxiety in China faint?”

“I haven’t seen it before. There are also very few who end up like this when they have serious allergy reactions. If it’s a very serious allergy, they should be dead by now.”

“The most common one is still myocardial infarction, right? It’s precisely because of the lack of serious allergic reactions that makes it hard to deal with this situation.”

Most of the doctors spoke in Mandarin, some gathered together to speak English, and some of them spoke some strange languages mixed with English. For a while, they actually created a happy and harmonious atmosphere. The doctors were polite to each other, as if they were having a question and answer session during a seminar. There was no end to their discussion, and they were not in a hurry.

As the patient, Dobin was a little anxious. His hands were clasped around his neck, and he was about to faint as he had trouble breathing, but since he had not fainted yet, he was a little used to his current posture.

“It is now generally recommended for you to not press down on your neck.” A doctor came up and pulled Dobbin’s hand off his neck.

Dobin rolled his eyes and stared at the doctor.

“Let me just take a look.” A doctor took out his phone, switched on the torchlight app, and swung it.

Once he did this, he reminded the doctors to take out the medical supplies they always brought by their sides.

Some doctors took out their stethoscopes from their shirt pockets.

Some doctors took out thermometers from the lining of their suits.

Some doctors took out a curved needle from a pocket of their suit pants.

And there were even doctors who brought out scissors from the pocket on the back of their pants.

At that moment, Ling Ran appeared at the scene with Tian Qi. He silently handed out a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer

“I don’t think we should wait for the ambulance. Maybe it’s still stuck in traffic. Let’s perform an intubation for Mister Dobin here,” Zuo Cidian suggested proactively.

Ling Ran agreed and said, “My tracheotomy pack…”

“Doctor Ling, here, take this.” Huang Maoshi of Changxi Medical Company walked over with a majestic gait. His movements were like that of a model, which was something he had perfected during his years as a model. He handed over Ling Ran’s tracheotomy pack with both hands.

“Oh, thank you.” Ling Ran nodded at Huang Mao.

By his side were Mai Chun, whose expression had changed, and Yunli Medical Company’s many pharmaceutical sales representatives.

“Get the defibrillator ready. Su Jiafu, anesthetize the patient. Zuo Cidian, get him into a supine position.” Although tracheotomy was a small surgery that could be done by one person, Ling Ran still organized a small team to the best of his ability.

The process was smooth, and Zuo Cidian and Su Jiafu worked at a fast pace.

Yun Hua Hospital’s current CPR team had always been composed of Zuo Cidian and the others. Now, they had daily training and had to use their skills on real patients. After Ling Ran gave his orders, his team used just dozens of seconds to make the full set of preparations.

“I will be doing a tracheotomy,” Ling Ran said to Tian Qi and started wearing gloves.

A small surgery like tracheotomy did not require the surgeon to wash his hands and all the other things required in an operating theater. Wearing gloves was actually really just to protect the doctor himself.

“Okay,” Tian Qi responded and stood next to him. She took out her phone and took a few photos.

At this time, Boss Shao came over and looked at the red-faced Dobin. He clicked his tongue. “You sure are unlucky. If this happened in my restaurant, I would have fixed up a treatment spot for you in minutes. But that’s just how Prosperous Fountain is. Although it’s very large in scale and it can do many things, it’s really lacking when it comes to basic medical treatment.”

As he spoke, Boss Shao also took out his phone and took several photos of Dobin. He then sent it to his Circle of Friends. [When going out, it’s hard to avoid trouble. At this time, it’s very necessary to find a shop with complete facilities, especially medical facilities…]

After sending this to his Circle of Friends, Boss Shao’s phone began to have messages pouring in to him.

Boss Shao smiled and opened his WeChat leisurely before he stared at it with a grin. The surgery happening on the spot, however, did not make him excited. He could not understand what was going on, anyway. It was better to keep the camera focused on Ling Ran.

The people continued talking at the far end of the banquet hall, and on this side of the banquet hall, the doctors watched the surgery as they talked.

“The Americans’ cardiovascular system is a mess.”

“This doctor looks young, but his cardiovascular system is also pretty bad.”

“I think this one did this to his cardiovascular system because of how much he stays up late, right? He’s always gambling.”

“Huh, how did you know?”
