Capítulo 1652: Chapter 1652: We Are Human, Not Gods
In the car, Luo Qiao actually ate the bread she had brought. She thought since they urgently called her over, it must be sothing serious, so she figured she’d better eat sothing to avoid being too hungry to handle it later.
At this ti, there were hardly any cars on the road, and her timing was perfect, hitting green lights all the way.
After arriving at the hospital, Lu Yichen only drove away after seeing Luo Qiao go inside.
As soon as Luo Qiao entered, soone ca up to her, “Director Luo, you finally made it.”
Luo Qiao didn’t waste any ti and said, “Tell the specifics.”
“The injured person was crushed at the waist by a cargo truck, with the entire lower body separated and the flesh torn. Doctor Qiao and the team are working to stop the bleeding.”
When they arrived, the doctors had just managed to stop the bleeding, but the earlier scans hadn’t been delivered yet.
Luo Qiao changed into a white lab coat, and a doctor stepped aside for her.
When Luo Qiao saw the patient, she was truly shocked. The patient in front of her was a bloody ss, and even she, who was accustod to major cases, showed deep compassion on her face. The flesh of the thighs was pushed out, and the veins were visibly throbbing, and the skin on the entire back was peeled off.
Doctor Qiao explained, “The wound was continuously gushing blood, and we put in a trendous effort to stop it.”
Luo Qiao looked at the shocking wound, “It’s a good thing you stopped the bleeding, otherwise the operation table wouldn’t be an option. What about the family?”
The family had been waiting outside, and Luo Qiao explained the patient’s condition to them and let them see the wounds so they could be ntally prepared.
As soon as the family left, the stopped bleeding started again, and surgery was now urgent and unavoidable, leading to a second discussion with the family.
The reality was harsh, and Luo Qiao candidly told the family, “If we don’t operate, it’s one hundred percent fatal. If we do, there’s over a ninety-five percent chance of dying, essentially one in ten thousand odds of survival.”
In other words, the chance of hope was extrely slim, but it did not an it was nonexistent. Whether to fight for that one-in-ten-thousand chance rested with the family.
Once Luo Qiao finished speaking, contrary to what she thought, there was no hesitation. The patient’s son responded firmly, “Do it, it must be done.”
At this mont, the family seed to have erged from their earlier panic, fully understanding that their loved one’s life or death might be decided in that instant.
Luo Qiao again briefed the patient’s family outside the operating room, and the family expressed that they would not give up as long as there was a glimr of hope.
At this point, the severely low blood pressure and heart rate patient was pushed into the operating room, and Luo Qiao also went in to change clothes, disinfect, and then prepare to start the surgery.
A life-and-death battle without smoke began, and five hours later, the surgery finally ended.
The family waiting outside the operating room received both good and bad news. The good news was that the patient survived the surgery, but the bad news was that the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure still showed no sign of improvent, aning that the patient remained at risk of dying at any mont.
The patient was sent to the intensive care unit, and the family continued to wait outside, refusing to leave. They were waiting for news that the patient was out of danger.
Unfortunately, what they waited for was a bolt from the blue – the patient in the intensive care unit bled heavily again, with heart rate and blood pressure plumting. Despite Luo Qiao and the on-duty doctor’s best efforts, they couldn’t save the patient, so they had to let the family in for a final farewell.
Luo Qiao felt sowhat dejected, as this was the first ti she couldn’t save a patient in her hands. She stood in front of the window for a long ti without speaking until Doctor Qiao ca over and said, “We are humans, not gods. The hope was slim from the start, but we did our best.”
