Chapter 2098: Chapter 2058: Zero Fatalities
Why would those doctors and nurses think that way?
Actually, there’s a reason for it.
It involves a compensation issue.
In traffic accident cases, if the person has an urban household, the compensation might exceed a million, but if they’re from a rural area, it might only be a few hundred thousand — there’s a significant financial difference.
Moreover, there’s a difference between those who are killed and those left severely injured.
Why?
Because if someone’s killed, it’s a one-time compensation.
However, if someone is severely injured, they’re likely to keep holding you accountable whenever any issue arises. That’s why, in car accidents, many people would rather ensure that the injured are dead to avoid a lifelong burden.
The social reality is just that cruel.
When the emergency doctors and nurses saw Ye Qiu rushing in, they thought he was going to do something to the migrant workers.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu said, "I’m also a doctor, of course, I’m here to save lives. Your methods can’t save them."
When Ye Qiu asked them to step aside, he saw a migrant worker who seemed to be on the brink of death. No medical equipment at this moment could do much good.
Because Ye Qiu saw that the person’s internal injuries were very severe.
But Ye Qiu directly pushed aside the doctor and began treatment on the side.
...
Zhou Wenting and the construction site supervisor waited anxiously outside.
Meanwhile, security from Jiangbei People’s Hospital arrived. Hearing that someone had rushed into the emergency room, they thought it was a medical disturbance.
Medical disturbances are frequent now, largely due to the high cost of medical care and the attitude of doctors.
On one hand, hospital fees are too high; on the other hand, patients’ families might spend a lot, even bankrupt themselves, yet still fail to cure the patient’s illness.
In such situations, losing both financially and personally, medical disturbances have become more common.
When the security guards were about to storm into the emergency room to capture the intruder, they were hastily stopped by the nurses and doctors nearby.
Because they had just witnessed something akin to magic.
That young man had placed his hand on the severely injured migrant worker’s chest, and soon the bleeding stopped, while they could visibly see the changes on the medical equipment.
The gravely injured, near-death worker was not only resuscitated but truly saved.
Having witnessed this young man’s remarkable medical skills, the doctors and nurses naturally dared not obstruct him.
"You all, out," Ye Qiu said.
As the attending physician and others left, they still couldn’t comprehend what exactly Ye Qiu’s medical skills were.
Was it really like a magician performing magic?
Actually managing to save a patient who was about to die.
Time was pressing.
Ye Qiu first saved the most severely injured patient.
Up to the eighth patient, when Ye Qiu had managed to save all of them, Zhou Wenting could tell by Ye Qiu’s expression that those injured migrant workers were surely fine.
"Ye Qiu, there’s still an injured supervisor receiving a blood transfusion in the emergency room," Zhou Wenting hurriedly said.
As she led him there, arriving at the emergency room, the supervisor who was already unconscious looked very serious despite the ongoing blood transfusion.
Moreover, a piece of rebar had been lodged in his internal organs.
Fortunately, it hadn’t pierced his heart directly, or he would have died already.
But, given his current condition, even surgical intervention at the hospital would have a very low success rate.
So, they were initially treating him with a blood transfusion, waiting for him to stabilize before proceeding further.
"You see that rebar directly inserted in, they say it’s quite long, but it was cut at both ends. Just looking at it makes me feel pain."
That’s an understatement.
For this supervisor’s condition, Ye Qiu thought that without his treatment, the chances of survival were slim.
"I’ll treat him."
The emergency doctors, who had initially been stunned by this young man’s astounding medical skills, now trusted him after hearing Ye Qiu was taking over.
As the nurses and doctors exited, Ye Qiu looked at the severely unconscious, pale-faced middle-aged man lying on the bed and said, "You can only thank your lucky stars for meeting me; otherwise, you’d be seeing King Yanluo."
Ye Qiu knew that if the doctors had performed surgery, they couldn’t have extracted that rebar directly because it was too dangerous. The supervisor might have died before the rebar was even removed.
But Ye Qiu was different.
As long as there was still a breath left, he could save them.
When Ye Qiu grabbed the bloodied rebar and carefully pulled it out, like extracting something from flesh, blood spurted uncontrollably. Ye Qiu hastily began treating him.
After about thirty minutes, when Ye Qiu came out, his clothes were already stained with the man’s blood.
But now, the supervisor in the ward was surely stable.
Seeing Ye Qiu come out still holding the rebar, Zhou Wenting and the supervisor knew the person inside was alright.
"Ye Qiu, you?"
"While extracting it, my clothes got dirty," he said.
But now, as Ye Qiu went to the restroom to wash his hands, he still felt the bloody smell on his hands and clothes.
This smell was too unpleasant.
He needed to go home and take a shower.
Out of the nine patients, normally at least three or four wouldn’t survive being brought to the hospital, and the rest would probably be crippled, with the compensation still unknown.
But now, all had been treated by Ye Qiu, and their condition was nearly recovered.
A laborer who woke up still couldn’t believe it and thought he had already died.
But if he weren’t dead?
Why didn’t he feel any pain?
After all, when the iron roof came crashing down, he’d passed out immediately.
"Ye Qiu, we—"
"Let’s go check the site first, then go back," Ye Qiu said.
As they left Jiangbei People’s Hospital, the doctors and nurses noticed that Ye Qiu had already departed.
Yet, Ye Qiu had left instructions for the supervisor to handle the emergency room’s door he had kicked down.
As they got into the car, Zhou Wenting kept looking at Ye Qiu.
Upon hearing about the site collapse, she had been at a loss over what to do.
Unexpectedly, now it seemed to have been resolved.
Zero fatalities?
How was that possible?
It must have been Ye Qiu’s treatment.
Of course, this couldn’t be called a zero-incident accident because most of those migrant workers were severely injured. It was only after receiving Ye Qiu’s treatment at the hospital that they seemed mostly recovered.
It could only be said that this collapse incident resulted in zero deaths.
