Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Emergency Aid for Migrant Workers
"Actually, after this incident, I’ve realized that there are indeed some issues and that I may have trusted him too much. From now on, I can’t let Liu Yang work so independently with patients anymore. If he can’t properly judge the condition and gets it wrong, it’s a matter of great concern for the people."
"That’s why I’m telling you to think twice before you do anything, and I don’t want my brother’s bright future to be delayed because he works for you, got it?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve got this covered. How could I let anything happen to him? Today’s event was truly just an accident."
"You said you wouldn’t let any accidents happen, but today, one still did. Some accidents are completely beyond your control. You’re not a god; you’re just a human being. You’re indeed very skilled in medicine, but you can’t control everything. Liu Zheng, let me advise you, don’t be overly confident. Such an attitude could blindly harm others."
"Yes, your words are very reasonable, and I can take them to heart. Rest assured, I won’t make the same mistakes in the future. Regarding Liu Yang, I will certainly protect him well; there won’t be any problems."
"In any case, you know what you should do. And I don’t want my brother to face such dangers. Although I still have some concerns about him working with you, you did make him some promises. So I hope you can keep them."
As the two were speaking, they had unconsciously arrived at the open space on the west side of the village. They glanced over and saw that the workers were still working overtime into the night. At least the villagers weren’t causing a disturbance anymore.
"If we work non-stop day and night, we can definitely finish the project within 20 days. I’ve already discussed this with the construction team. However, since we can’t work during the day now and can only work at night, it’s likely that our timeline will be slightly extended."
"Don’t worry, these are just temporary difficulties. I’ll find a way to solve this issue."
"I hope you can do as you say."
"By the way, where are you staying tonight? It’s already this late; are you really going back to the county town? If that’s not possible, you can just make do here for the night."
"Make do where? At your place?"
"Otherwise? Haven’t you done this often before? After all, we need to get to the site very early tomorrow, so just put up with it for tonight. Also, there’s another important thing – I’ve really missed you."
Liu Zheng spoke and leaned his head closer, whispering softly in her ear. Liu Jiaxin turned to look at him and then lightly punched him in the chest with her fist.
"Someone come quick, we need help!"
Just then, they suddenly heard a worker shouting loudly.
At that moment, Liu Zheng hesitated for a second, wondering if another problem had arisen. He then saw a group of workers rushing towards the direction of the site.
"Quick, come with me and let’s see what’s going on."
He said this, then waved to Liu Jiaxin, and the two of them quickly walked toward the commotion.
When they arrived at the site, they saw a circle of workers gathered around, and inside, there appeared to be someone lying down, though it wasn’t clear what the situation was.
"Make way, make way, here’s Doctor Liu from the village. Let him take a look and check what’s happening."
Liu Jiaxin spoke as she made her way through the crowd, and they entered the circle. Only then did they see a construction worker, who looked to be about 50 years old, lying on the ground, his mouth wide open, gasping for air, yet his eyes were tightly closed.
"What happened?"
Liu Zheng looked up at the surrounding workers and asked.
"It was like this, we were working, and I was urging him to bring over a load of cement quickly, but when I turned back around, I saw him just collapse straight onto the ground. I immediately called for help, but what’s going on here?"
"Don’t panic. Let me check first. Everyone else, step back and keep the path clear so he can breathe easier. Also, bring me a pair of scissors."
"Okay, got it."
The workers on the site looked somewhat panicked, thinking that if something happened to this man while working on their site, the contractor would be ruined for life, incapable of compensating for such a loss.
FInally, a sharp pair of scissors was brought over. Then he used the scissors to cut open the man’s clothes and placed his ear over his heart, listening carefully.
In fact, in such sudden situations, it’s usually either a heart or a brain issue. But looking at his current breathing method, it wasn’t likely to be a brain issue since brain problems wouldn’t cause this type of breathing difficulty. Clearly, he was struggling to breathe.
So, the most likely area was the heart and lungs. After listening carefully, Liu Zheng immediately deduced that there was a distinct sound of air passing through near the heart and lungs.
"I can basically determine that it’s caused by pneumothorax, and the situation is very critical. If we call for an ambulance now, we won’t have enough time for emergency treatment. So the first thing we need to do is to let the air out from his chest so that he can breathe more easily."
"But how can we do that here on the construction site?"
"Don’t worry. By the way, do you guys have something like wheat straw over there? Something with a harder head?"
"Oh, yes, there’s plenty of that kind of thing right next to the site."
"Good, hurry up and find a hard one, a firm one, and try to keep it as clean as possible to avoid a secondary infection in the body. Hurry, we must be quick."
