24: The hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate people!
Chapter 024: The weakest rope breaks first, and misfortune always finds the most suffering!
"Doctor Lin, you can't leave!"
"We've waited in line for so long, what's going on...?"
Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, the patients in line grew anxious.
Everyone had witnessed the entire process for the few patients before them.
It was just as they had heard: Doctor Lin was not only fast and accurate, but more importantly, he didn't cost much.
Missing such a conscientious doctor meant they would never find another one like him in the entire Central Hospital.
"I'm truly sorry, everyone, but lives are at stake, and I must go immediately."
He glanced in the direction Lu Chenxi had run off to.
Lin Yi knew that there was no time to waste.
That was the real emergency channel; only critically ill patients were brought there.
"Dr. Fang is the most outstanding young doctor in the Emergency Department, you can completely trust her."
Pointing to Fang Xiaoran beside him, Lin Yi rushed towards the emergency channel.
"Is he praising me?"
Watching Lin Yi's retreating figure, Fang Xiaoran felt a strange sweetness in her heart... When he reached the entrance of the emergency channel, he didn't see the expected scene of patients being wheeled in.
Lin Yi was a little bewildered, as he couldn't even see Teacher Lu's shadow.
Unsure of the situation, he looked around, not knowing what to do.
"What are you looking at? Get in the car quickly!"
Lu Chenxi's head poked out from the back door of an ambulance nearby, motioning for Lin Yi to get in quickly.
"Teacher Lu, where are we going...?"
It wasn't until the ambulance, sirens blaring, sped out of the Hospital gate that Lin Yi, looking at the serious-faced Lu Chenxi, cautiously asked.
Didn't the Emergency Department usually receive patients at the Hospital?
Getting into an ambulance to go outside the Hospital was a rare occurrence.
"The Emergency Department received a call from the fire department."
"A construction worker fell from a height at a construction site and was impaled by rebar."
"Without a doctor on site to provide guidance, the firefighters don't dare to cut the rebar."
"You're a man, stronger than a female doctor, so it's more convenient to bring you..."
Lu Chenxi briefly explained the reason for their outing.
She also added why she was bringing Lin Yi.
"When we get to the scene, whatever you do, don't panic."
"Just strictly follow my instructions..."
Lu Chenxi, with extreme seriousness, reiterated the upcoming action guidelines.
Lin Yi was, after all, a new doctor, and so young.
According to the firefighters' rough description, the scene of the high-altitude fall should be extremely gruesome.
Young people, having not seen much of the world, might make mistakes under panic and fear, which would only increase the difficulty of the rescue.
Just in case, it was necessary to prepare Lin Yi beforehand.
"Understood, Teacher Lu," Lin Yi quickly responded.
There are no small matters when it comes to life; one can never be too cautious.
Just as Lu Chenxi was about to give a few more instructions,
the ambulance, speeding like the wind, suddenly slammed on its brakes, stopping at the main gate of a construction site surrounded by workers.
"We're here, Teacher Lu." As soon as the driver finished speaking,
Lu Chenxi and Lin Yi, carrying their first-aid kit and emergency equipment,
opened the car door and jumped out immediately.
"The doctors are here, brothers, quickly make way!"
"The doctors are here, don't block the way!"
At the same time,
people around the ambulance shouted, urging the onlookers to quickly clear a path.
A worker in a red hard hat, in his forties, darted to the front of Lin Yi and Lu Chenxi.
"You've finally arrived. The person is inside; I'll lead the way."
As he hurried inside,
the leading worker described the situation at the scene.
"The injured worker is named Zhu Zi, and I'm his foreman."
"Zhu Zi worked the night shift yesterday and was supposed to rest this morning."
"But this morning, the boss announced that during the rush period, workers would get double pay for these two days."
"Hearing this news, to earn more money for his wife and children at home, Zhu Zi disregarded warnings and started working non-stop."
"He might have been too tired and didn't secure his safety rope properly, falling from the scaffolding on the 5th floor."
"Now, five rebars are impaled in his body."
"The firefighters haven't seen such a serious situation; without a doctor on site to guide them, they don't dare to cut."
In less than a minute, Old Wang had given a rough overview of the situation.
"You mean, five rebars are impaled through the injured person's body?" Lu Chenxi interjected.
Her pace didn't slow down at all.
"Isn't that right, Doctor? None of us have ever seen anything like this."
"Five rebars, directly from bottom to top, pierced through Zhu Zi's body."
"Only Zhu Zi could endure it; any other person would have died long ago!"
As he spoke, Old Wang's tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
"I beg you, Doctors, you must save Zhu Zi."
"His wife is disabled, and he has two children in elementary school at home."
"If Zhu Zi falls, this family will be no more!"
"He's probably thinking of his wife and children, which is why Zhu Zi has been able to hold on until now..."
"Damn the heavens, can't it be a little fairer!"
At the end, Old Wang spat fiercely.
The weakest rope breaks first, and misfortune always finds the most suffering!
Zhu Zi's family was already struggling enough, yet heaven still wanted to break the family's only pillar!
"We haven't seen the specific condition of the injured person, so we cannot give you any guarantees."
"But please be assured, as doctors, within our capabilities, we will certainly do our utmost to save him."
Facing the injured worker's colleague, Lu Chenxi could only make such a promise.
However, judging by the injuries she had heard about so far, the complexity had already exceeded her imagination.
Five rebars impaling the body!
That the injured person could hold on until now was already a miracle... But when Lu Chenxi and Lin Yi arrived at the scene of the incident,
and saw the helpless firefighters and the injured person directly pinned to the foundation pile,
they still couldn't help but gasp.
The complexity of the scene not only exceeded their imagination but also made one's hair stand on end just by looking at it.
The injured person's location was precisely the foundation construction site of a large building.
Every few meters on the ground, there was a bundled rebar column.
All around were various types of rebars and steel pipes, several meters or even more than ten meters above the ground.
The injured person must have fallen from the scaffolding extended from the outer wall while constructing an adjacent building, landing directly on a rebar column.
Five rebars impaled the injured person's body, extending at least another meter upwards.
Two of them passed through the shoulder blades, two through the front left chest and right lower abdomen, and the last one through the right thigh.
"This is a true man of iron will!"
Suffering unimaginable injuries, the injured person gritted his teeth and endured, not uttering a single sound!
"You must be Doctor Lu, who took the call. I'm the on-site commander."
Seeing the doctors arrive, a firefighter immediately approached Lu Chenxi.
"You've seen the injured person's condition."
"The primary issue now is to cut the rebars from the injured person's body."
"You must immediately provide a cutting plan; I fear the injured person won't be able to hold on for much longer."
The firefighter's objective was very clear.
Under the doctors' command, they had to separate the injured person from the rebar column as quickly as possible.
At the same time,
the workers observing the scene, and even the reporters, all watched Lu Chenxi nervously,
waiting for her to issue the next instruction...
