43: Her life is more miserable than death, I don’t want to lose both her and her money!
Chapter 043: She Suffers More Alive Than Dead, I Don't Want to Lose Everything!
"Forensic autopsy!" Cheng Shaocong nearly exclaimed.
"Lin Yi, are you crazy? This is the Emergency Department! Do you really want to make things unmanageable?"
Cheng Shaocong felt like killing someone; what kind of idiotic doctor was this?!
The Hospital had confirmed the patient's death, fully in line with procedures and regulations.
Calling the police to bring in a forensic doctor, what was that all about?
Anyone who didn't know would think he, Cheng Shaocong, was a murderer!
He absolutely could not allow such a ridiculous thing to happen in the Emergency Department.
The Emergency Department confirms a patient's death, and then a forensic doctor has to reconfirm it.
If this news reached the ears of doctors in this city,
the Central Hospital Emergency Department would become infamous... "I'll give you one chance at most. After you try, get out immediately!"
Cheng Shaocong was thoroughly enraged!
The more resolute Lin Yi's gaze became, the more furious he grew.
To make this guy completely give up, he had to suppress his anger and agree to his demand.
If this stubborn fellow really called the police, that would be a truly big problem.
Cheng Shaocong had already decided to find the director immediately after this was over.
No matter what great professor's student Lin Yi was, or how amazing his Suturing Technique was,
such a stubborn doctor absolutely could not remain in the Emergency Department.
This ticking time bomb would one day completely devastate the Emergency Department... "Prepare the defibrillator!"
After receiving Cheng Shaocong's affirmative reply,
Lin Yi didn't dare to waste a second. He immediately went to the patient's bedside and quickly issued the latest command.
The Nurse, after seeing the Attending Physician's nod of confirmation, hesitantly handed the defibrillator paddles to Lin Yi.
"Dr. Cheng, what does this mean?"
"You already said my wife is dead. Please, stop tormenting her, okay?"
Seeing the newly emerged so-called Doctor preparing for resuscitation,
the patient's family member, Wu You, was truly starting to panic... His wife, Zhang Yuxi, being declared dead now was a welcome outcome.
If there was even a tiny possibility that this Doctor could truly bring her back, the couple wouldn't be able to face that result.
The tumor on Zhang Yuxi's Heart would only worsen.
Spending exorbitant medical fees would only prolong her suffering a little longer!
He himself would be even more miserable, having spent all his savings and accumulated a mountain of debt, only to end up losing both his money and his loved one.
He wouldn't even be able to think about marrying, having children, and living a normal life in the future... "Everyone, judge for yourselves, is my request too much?"
"As a patient's family member, can't I just let my wife pass away with dignity...?"
Seeing the doctors and Nurses around the bed unmoved,
Wu You began to appeal to the sympathy of the onlookers, including patients and their families, hoping to gain their compassion and stop the doctors' upcoming resuscitation efforts.
He wouldn't feel at ease for a minute until he received the death certificate.
"How about we just give up, Doctor? We all saw it; you truly did your best!"
"No one will criticize you for giving up now."
"Just as the patient's family member said, let the Little girl pass away peacefully."
"How can you talk like that, young man? The Doctor hasn't given up yet. How can a husband give up beforehand? Is the girl lying on the bed really your wife?!"
The onlookers expressed various opinions, with some supporting the Doctor and others the young man.
Everyone viewed the problem differently based on their perspectives.
"Quiet!" Cheng Shaocong roared, his face dark.
"Doctor Lin is also doing this for the patient's good."
"Let's just consider it the patient's last chance!"
No matter how much he looked down on Lin Yi, and even if he knew the other party was performing a futile effort,
in front of outsiders, he still had to uphold the honor of the entire Emergency Department... [Hint: Using 750 joules of electrical shock offers the highest possibility of patient awakening.]
"Prepare for electrical shock, 750 joules."
When the system's precise prompt appeared in his mind again,
Lin Yi shouted out the exact electrical shock value without hesitation.
"750 joules?" The Nurse adjusting the electrical shock voltage was stunned, disbelieving the astonishing value she heard.
During defibrillation to save a patient, generally, continuous defibrillation should not exceed twice, with a unidirectional shock of a minimum of 200 joules and a maximum of 360 joules.
What on earth was 750 joules?!
Not to mention doctors, even Nurses had never heard of such an exaggerated value.
"Can't you hear me?"
"750 joules, now!"
Lin Yi glared at the Nurse adjusting the voltage, scolding her sternly.
The time left for him was already less than a minute.
If he delayed any longer, the patient truly risked dying at any moment.
Lin Yi didn't care if he was a joke in other people's eyes.
He definitely wouldn't be able to live with the guilt on his conscience.
Moreover, the girl lying on the bed looked to be about the same age as his sister.
This made him even more reluctant... "Lin Yi, do you even know what you're saying?"
Cheng Shaocong's face was so dark it was almost like Bao Gong's.
A Doctor who didn't even understand specific electrical shock voltages was still talking about saving lives here.
He truly regretted trusting the other party's madness... "Never mind, just follow Doctor Lin's instructions."
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
The utterly helpless Cheng Shaocong had no choice but to signal the Nurse to proceed as Lin Yi requested.
The resuscitation had already exceeded half an hour, and the patient had no brain reflexes.
Physically, there was no longer any pain or suffering to consider.
"750 joules, ready."
After adjusting the voltage, the Nurse shouted according to procedure.
"Everyone away from the bed!"
After ensuring the safety of those around him, Lin Yi decisively placed the two paddles on either side of the patient's chest and pressed the discharge button.
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the patient's entire back arched sharply like a shrimp, and she bounced high off the bed.
"1... 2... 5..."
All medical staff, including Cheng Shaocong,
were nervously staring at the life monitor, counting to five, waiting for a miracle to happen.
Everyone knew that given the patient's condition, an extraordinary miracle was impossible.
But as a Doctor, one couldn't help but long for life!
"Defibrillation failed, the patient cannot restore sinus rhythm!"
The result was clear at a glance, but the Nurse still announced the failure of the resuscitation according to procedure.
"No recovery?" Sweat broke out on Lin Yi's forehead.
After all this effort, if he couldn't save her, would he still have the face to stay in the Emergency Department?
"That's not right!"
"The system's prompts have never been wrong!"
Lin Yi nervously stared at the data on the equipment, hoping it was due to a delayed reaction from the device.
"Sigh..." Cheng Shaocong let out a long sigh.
He didn't know how to describe his complex feelings at the moment.
As a Doctor, Lin Yi's spirit of never giving up until the last moment truly impressed him!
But precisely because he was a Doctor, he should understand that a scientific medical perspective does not tolerate any doubt.
Doctors who act on their feelings will ultimately harm themselves and others!
"I now officially declare."
"Patient Zhang Yuxi, at... in the Central Hospital Emergency Department... officially..."
