Chapter 220: Chapter 145: Acupuncture Saves a Life, ECMO Arrives! (Part 2)

It felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t get a word out.

The regret and sorrow in my heart grew even stronger!

"Jianglai, sorry for making you listen to our chatter. What do you want to say?"

On the phone, a man’s apologetic voice sounded, speaking to him.

"Old leader, um... there’s something I want to tell you."

Chen Jianglai shuddered at the words, showing a conflicted expression in his eyes,

"But please, you must stay calm, don’t worry, and take care of your health, okay?"

???

Hearing this,

The woman’s pupils constricted sharply, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Jiang... Jianglai, is it about Xiaojun, is something wrong with him?"

"Teacher’s wife, old leader... Xiaojun is injured."

Chen Jianglai gritted his teeth and finally spoke out.

"What?!"

The man’s voice on the phone suddenly rose and then became deep,

"Jianglai, what happened? Tell me in detail."

After that,

Chen Jianglai recounted the process, and the woman almost fainted when she heard that Chai Zhongjun might have been pierced by a tree branch into his heart.

Then he told the couple that he and the doctors were rushing to Lianyang District Hospital, preparing to perform surgery on Xiaojun.

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman’s crying could be heard from the phone, but the man remained silent.

After a long while,

"Jianglai, I have a very important meeting tomorrow and have to go out for training soon, I can’t get away in the next few days.

Could you please find someone to bring your teacher’s wife over?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Okay, old leader, I’ll have my spouse go over and bring the teacher’s wife here now."

Chen Jianglai felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and quickly agreed.

"The doctor operating on Xiaojun..."

"Don’t worry, the surgery is being performed by one of the best doctors in Jiangcheng, and the director of the cardiothoracic surgery at Jiangcheng City First Hospital has already rushed over.

Xiaojun will be fine!"

"That’s not what I meant."

The man interrupted him,

"Don’t put pressure on the doctors, let them do their best, I’ll have your teacher’s wife bring the surgery fees over.

Alright, that’s it, you’ve worked hard."

"Then I won’t disturb you any longer, old leader, I’ll stay with Xiaojun for now."

Chen Jianglai hung up the phone, his whole body collapsing into the seat as if deflated.

Turning his head to look at Chai Zhongjun lying on the stretcher, unconscious, with a complex expression on his face.

Two years ago,

Chai Zhongjun secretly participated in the exam and interview for the college student village official position, only telling his family after being assigned.

Under the anger of the old leader, he packed his bag and went alone to this not-affluent town, becoming the secretary of the most difficult Xiaodian Village in Jiangcheng City.

In these two years, Chai Zhongjun never sought his help nor revealed his identity.

Like a nail firmly driven into Xiaodian Village, he tirelessly worked to improve the lives of the 305 elderly left-behind, striving to keep the young people to build the community, almost running day and night.

He gathered funds to build roads, took loans for greenhouses, invited experts, did everything possible.

Seeing that in these two years, two or three young people had come back to work alongside him, and the women proactively joined and supported.

Xiaodian Village, once deliberately ignored by everyone, was gradually appearing in the public eye.

He was very happy!

Chai Zhongjun was young, enthusiastic, passionate, and hopeful, far better than their own cynical, seasoned selves.

But now,

Watching him fall, Chen Jianglai’s heart ached both personally and logically!

He didn’t know if the old leader would hold him responsible?

An hour later,

The car finally stopped outside the emergency room of Lianyang Hospital.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The car door opened, and Chen Jianglai quickly gestured to the waiting medical staff.

"Be careful, move him parallel."

Qin Feng instructed the nurses who rushed over to move Chai Zhongjun, holding the branch tightly in his hand,

"Is the CT machine ready?"

"It’s ready, follow me."

A nearby doctor nodded and led the way.

Thankfully, the branch in Chai Zhongjun’s body was only twenty centimeters long; if it had been a bit longer, it wouldn’t have fit into the CT machine.

Five minutes later,

when all the equipment and tubes were set, the chest imaging finally came out.

"Director, the imaging is ready, and the situation is very dangerous."

The radiology doctor handed the CT film to the old man beside Qin Feng.

The old man took the image, frowning deeply at the situation.

"Director Qin, take a look."

Qin Feng glanced and his heart sank.

Because the branch had indeed pierced the aorta, with blood seeping into the thoracic cavity, forming a shadow.

Beep beep beep beep—

At this moment,

suddenly, the instrument alarm sounded in the emergency room.

Oh no!

Immediately, he rushed into the emergency room, and the heart monitor turned into a straight line.

"Ventricular fibrillation! Quick! The defibrillator!"

The old man urgently called out upon seeing this.

"Wait!"

Just as the nurse picked up the defibrillator, Qin Feng hurried forward to stop her,

"You can’t use the defibrillator! Using it will cause secondary damage during the shock!"

As he spoke, the cardiac director of Lianyang Hospital shuddered, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Qin Feng was right!

If the defibrillator were indeed used to stimulate the heartbeat, it would definitely cause the patient to move significantly, and if the aorta were damaged a second time, there wouldn’t be time to save him!

"What should we do then?"

The old man looked at Qin Feng, nervously asking.

"2mg of lidocaine intravenously! Rapid drip of amiodarone intravenously, hurry!"

Qin Feng didn’t hesitate, immediately directing the nurse to administer emergency treatment,

"Yu Biao, call Director Zhang, and ask how much longer they will take!"
