A Hospital in Another World?-Chapter 585: Racing Against Time, Saving Two Lives!

Seraina had never seen Garrett move so fast before.

His hands flew as he softly chanted spells, with bursts of magical light falling one after another. Swipe, a Calm spell to stop the laboring woman’s pain;

Swipe, ECG, swipe, oxygen monitoring, two light screens unfolded;

Swipe, swipe, a pair of floating discs appeared beneath the laboring woman, forming a temporary surgical table, then rising to the appropriate height before hurriedly connecting to an invasive blood pressure monitor;

Pointing to the side, the 【Silent Phantom】 swiftly sketched out the scene inside the woman’s body in the void: the fetus, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, placenta, birth canal... Garrett pointed at the image in the air, his voice urgent:

"Seraina, look! That’s the placenta blocking the baby’s path, and it’s bleeding profusely! Come here, stand between the woman’s legs, and release the Hemostasis Divine Spell on the placenta! Remember, every time the uterus contracts, the placenta bleeds. Stopping the bleeding and saving lives is up to you!"

His voice was stern, absolutely decisive. Usually gentle with Seraina, his speech now was twice as fast, every word a command. Seraina, wordlessly, quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

As Garrett issued commands, his hands shook, and the surgical drape unfolded, covering the woman, leaving only her pronounced belly exposed. With a wave of his left hand, a Cleansing spell removed the glycerin, his right hand already wiping swiftly with an alcohol swab—

The touch under his hands tensed and hardened, contractions beginning!!!

A General Anesthesia spell could prevent the woman from feeling pain, but couldn’t stop involuntary muscle movements!—This was normal; otherwise, if heartbeats and breathing stopped as well, the so-called General Anesthesia would become a lethal spell.

But likewise, it couldn’t stop the respiratory muscles, the intestinal movements, nor the contractions...

Each contraction pushed the fetus downwards, causing massive bleeding from the placenta!

"Seraina! Stop the bleeding!!!"

"Understood!"

A flash of white light, Seraina kneeled under the drape, head down as she responded. Healing light shone through the drape, Garrett closely monitoring the ECG and oxygen meter, rapidly disinfecting, and once the contractions ceased, he immediately made an incision.

Racing against time!

Racing against speed!

Between two contractions, the longest intermission was 5-6 minutes, the shortest only 1-2 minutes. In that minute or two, he made incisions, pulled to both sides, made another incision, pulled again...

Cutting through the skin, subcutaneous fat, anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis, muscle layer, peritoneum, myometrium, endometrium—eight layers in total!

He had to deliver the baby before the next contraction to avoid another major placental hemorrhage!

Garrett was fully concentrated, his hand speed reaching its peak. Right hand holding the scalpel, left hand guiding the Mage Hand, working in coordination. A cut down, throwing out two Mage Hands, pulling symmetrically; another cut, another two Mage Hands, pulling again...

Aunt Erin and the midwife huddled aside, their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound. Joanna, amidst her busyness, glanced quickly at the scene, her eyes widening:

She had never seen such fast spellcasting! The speed was at its peak, yet every move was clearly defined. Like the highest skilled martial artist demonstrating techniques, so fast that it took one’s breath away, yet still distinctly clear.

Within a minute, eight sets of operations, eight spells cast!

"Seraina! Attract!"

Another loud shout. Miss Silver Dragon didn’t even lift her head, but a vine suddenly appeared, piercing into the abdominal cavity. At the tip of the vine, a high-speed vortex formed out of thin air, sucking up the amniotic fluid.

Then, the Mage Hand continued to pull outward unceasingly. The blood transfusion hadn’t arrived yet, and the woman’s abdomen was already cut open, revealing a 10cm incision.

Garrett’s left hand stretched out, countless green vines unfurled from thin air, probing inside. In an instant, the delicate vines enveloped the baby like a soft silk garment, gently squeezing the head through the incision.

This was quite good, the pressure was evenly distributed, less likely to harm the baby... and the vines were thin and soft, able to probe into the smallest gaps, much better than forceps...

Garrett even had time to think this. Countless vine’s force feedback reached his heart, adjusting with his will. The head, shoulders, hands, body...

"It’s out, it’s out!"

The atmosphere in the

delivery room suddenly livened up. Garrett half-closed his eyes, manipulating the vines to lift the baby, turning it towards the midwife. Regardless of the bustle, he opened his eyes to glance at the invasive blood pressure monitor, loudly demanding:

"Blood! When is the blood coming!"

"I’ll get the blood!"

Footsteps clattered outside, the laboring woman’s husband and father knocking on doors, calling out, clearly resonating. City Guard soldiers stepped out of their homes, forming a long line outside. Joanna dashed out, soon rushing back in with a bottle in hand.

Garrett had already induced the vines, connecting a needle, the other end piercing into the blood bottle. Fresh blood surged into the laboring woman’s veins, Garrett sparing a glance at the ECG and blood pressure readings, slightly relieved:

The blood supply was timely, she should be fine. Next, the final task:

Ensuring the woman safely delivered the placenta, cleaned up, closed the abdomen...

In his previous life, this would be the time for an injection of oxytocin, ergometrine, and such, to quickly contract the uterus, compressing the blood vessels near the placenta, preventing heavy bleeding. But looking around, Garrett couldn’t even find ergot, let alone ergometrine!

Well, he’d just have to rely on healing spells!

Garrett gathered his spirits, sending out two more Mage Hands. Gently pulling, removing the umbilical cord, the placenta, the amniotic sac. The placenta completely opened from the uterine wall, a slight movement causing rapid blood to gush, dyeing the surgical field red.

How much blood was there? If left unattended, 400 ml? 800 ml? 1000 ml?

Garrett didn’t think twice, frantically casting healing spells. White light adhered to the uterine wall, flashing down, healing, healing, healing...

No matter the situation, regardless of whether you need to contract later, right now, all wounds, heal first!

The ECG cloud screen frantically alarmed. Blood pressure monitor... Garrett only wished the monitor had an alarm function, though, if it really had one, his own blood pressure right now might also hit 200?

Like forcibly tearing apart flesh, the placenta slowly separated from the mother, healing spells racing against time to fall. For a good while, a long umbilical cord, along with the placenta and amniotic sac, were lifted out, falling into a copper basin nearby:

"Holy water! Cleanse with holy water! Quick!"

The pale golden holy water was poured generously. The last bit of the wound, not cared for by the healing spell, also congealed, contracted, and disappeared under the purification of the holy water.

Garrett swayed, stepping back, nearly falling.

"Seraina, I’m dizzy... Close the layers sequentially, I’ll instruct, you do..."

Amidst the loud cries of the baby, Garrett murmured softly.
