Chapter 880: Chapter 421: Anesthesiologist, Life Saved

"I can do it!"

A woman around forty years old responded from outside and then walked in.

Li Jingsheng glanced at the woman, feeling she had a special charisma, dressed in an intellectual style.

"Can you help take over a bit? I’m really getting exhausted."

"No problem."

She agreed and took over Li Jingsheng’s resuscitation efforts.

From her movements, it was clear she was very professional, and she was quite strong. During compressions, she was full of energy, like a young man.

After she pressed thirty times, Li Jingsheng voluntarily performed artificial respiration on the patient.

This gentlemanly detail made her give Li Jingsheng a friendly look.

The rescue continued, with the two cooperating with each other.

They alternated performing chest compressions on the patient. Each time it was time for artificial respiration, Li Jingsheng would perform it.

After about a dozen cycles, the bun shop owner remained with his eyes tightly shut, showing no signs of waking up.

She lifted the patient’s eyelid to check the pupils.

Then she shook her head and sighed.

"The pupils have already started to dilate; it’s probably very difficult to bring him back now!"

She didn’t look at other clinical signs, only the pupils.

Clinically, dilated pupils are a crucial sign of death.

Some patients may still have a heartbeat long after death, and it might even take a couple of hours for the heartbeat to slowly disappear.

Clinically, doctors generally determine death by four indicators: blood pressure, heartbeat, breathing, and pupils.

Pupil assessment is the most commonly used method.

Thus, it could be concluded that the woman was a clinical doctor.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingsheng reached out to feel the patient’s carotid artery.

He felt carefully.

He found that the pulsation of the carotid artery had strengthened a bit, and the rhythm was quite regular. This was a good sign, indicating the heartbeat was recovering in a positive direction.

"Keep pressing! Maybe we can create a miracle of life."

As he spoke, Li Jingsheng began compressions again to provide aid.

She didn’t say much more, but it was clear from her expression that she was doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.

The two continued to cooperate in the rescue effort.

"Did you call 120? Get an ambulance over here!"

Li Jingsheng shouted to the supermarket owner.

"I already called; they said they’ll dispatch an ambulance immediately."

Time continued to tick away, and the patient showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

The bun shop owner’s wife had already been revived. She watched Li Jingsheng and the woman taking turns to provide assistance, tears streaming constantly, afraid to cry out loud for fear it might disrupt Li Jingsheng’s rescue efforts.

The ambulance soon arrived, and once the stretcher was in place, Li Jingsheng continued providing aid all the way.

Once they were on the ambulance, he didn’t relax and continued compressions.

The paramedic with the ambulance took over compressions, but her effort was weak and ineffective.

"Hey, miss, if you can spare some valuable time, could you continue helping with the compressions on the ride?"

Li Jingsheng still felt that this charismatic woman in her forties was more professional and her compressions were very effective.

"But the paramedics are here now, aren’t they? I shouldn’t need to assist further, right?"

She looked toward the ambulance doctor and nurse.

"I feel that we work really well together in rescuing this patient, and maybe if we continue to work together, we can save him."

While continuing compressions, Li Jingsheng persistently extended an invitation to her.

"Dr. Li seldom invites others like this. If you don’t have anything urgent, why not get on the ambulance and be a lifesaving angel?" The accompanying nurse playfully helped in inviting her.

"You all know him? Someone said earlier he’s a clinic doctor! Aren’t you all emergency doctors from a hospital?"

The woman was surprised.

She didn’t understand why Li Jingsheng was familiar with the ambulance medical staff.

"Of course we know him. Dr. Li is a doctor from our Second Hospital, and he also runs his own clinic. He’s the most dedicated young doctor I’ve ever seen."

The accompanying nurse answered.

Her tone revealed admiration and respect for Li Jingsheng.

"I see! Well, alright then! But just now, I checked the patient’s pupils; there was dilation, so I’m afraid it might be hard to save him."

The woman got on the ambulance.

She boarded agilely.

It seemed she regularly worked out and was very active in everyday life.

"Do you believe in miracles? As long as you collaborate with me, we should be able to create a miracle of life."

Li Jingsheng was persistent and confident.

"Based on my clinical experience, such patients rarely make it. However, since you’re so confident, I’m willing to fully cooperate."

After she got on, she and Li Jingsheng continued alternating in performing CPR on the patient.

When the ambulance arrived at the hospital’s emergency department, the patient was still not awake.

At this point, thirty-five minutes had passed since the rescue began.

"If there’s no sign of revival half an hour into resuscitation, generally, clinical death can be declared."

The woman was drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

Although she doubted the outcome from the start, she continued to work with Li Jingsheng to save the patient.

Sometimes, among doctors, one has to decide to comply.

Li Jingsheng felt the patient’s carotid artery again, it had strengthened considerably.

It indicated that the rescue efforts were effective.

For patients unconscious from electric shock, resuscitation is more complex, and the success rate is often very low.

Because the damage caused by electric shock to the human body is often not visible to the naked eye.

Last time, Second Hospital encountered a patient with an electric shock injury and failed to revive him. The family believed the hospital did not fulfill its duty to rescue, and they filed a complaint with the authorities.

Upon autopsy, it was found that the patient’s heart had been pierced.

Such a patient could not be saved even by a Daluo Golden Immortal descending to the world.

This is one of the reasons why the fatality rate of electric shock victims is high and the resuscitation success rate is low.

"Don’t give up, believe in me."

Li Jingsheng looked sincerely into the woman’s eyes and said.

The bun shop owner’s wife immediately knelt to the ground, kowtowing to the woman.

"Please save my husband, please... sob!"

"Alright! I’ll cooperate anyway."

The woman reluctantly agreed.

Rescue efforts continued.

Li Jingsheng and the woman worked together to continuously press as the patient was pushed into the emergency room.

Originally, by standard procedure, the patient didn’t even need to be pushed in, they could have announced clinical death upon arrival at the hospital.

Life monitoring probes were connected to the patient one by one.

"Dr. Li, should we put him on a ventilator?"

"Yes, do it!"

After connecting the ventilator, they did not use the pacemaker.

Manual compression was still being performed.

"Oh my, look at the screen of the life monitor!"

"There’s hope, there’s hope, continue the resuscitation."

The medical staff around the rescue bed, after seeing this, were greatly encouraged.

The woman looked at Li Jingsheng with a complex expression.

"It seems your persistence was right."

"Luckily, with your cooperation, we were able to work together and gradually restore the patient’s heartbeat. Although the final outcome is still unknown, I believe the patient can pull through."

Li Jingsheng responded with a smile.

Working together to rescue the patient, their cooperation was quite harmonious. Or rather, she would be this harmonious with anyone.

Because during the rescue, she proactively took on responsibilities.

"Which hospital are you from? It feels like such a great pleasure to work with you. In the rescue process, not only did you put in effort, but you also didn’t care about personal gains or losses or consider other potential negative consequences for yourself."

Li Jingsheng’s clinic has always been recruiting talents, but now the requirements for recruitment are getting higher and higher.

He could only patiently wait for opportunities, watching for potential candidates in secret.

This female doctor, although over forty years old, performed exceptionally well.

Li Jingsheng suddenly, like an ancient monarch, developed a fondness for talent.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I used to work at a medical center abroad, specializing in anesthesia. Now, because my husband’s parents are getting old and need care, plus my classmates said there are plenty of development opportunities in the country, we’ve come back. Currently, I’m unemployed. Originally, I was going to attend an interview at Qiaobang, but it seems I have to miss it."

She shrugged.

The city gathered talents from all over, really a hidden haven of talents, you could encounter a bigwig in any field at any time.

This woman turned out to be an overseas returned anesthesiologist.

As far as Li Jingsheng knew, among medical practitioners abroad, the two highest-paid specialties are anesthesiologists and surgeons.

His clinic can currently only perform simple surgeries, definitely unable to afford a top-notch anesthesiologist.

But if such top talent is missed, it would be extremely difficult to recruit her into the clinic again.

"Forgive my oversight! No wonder I thought your rescue actions were so professional! I’m sorry for delaying your interview."

In his heart, Li Jingsheng was pondering whether he should recruit her?

How to recruit her?

First, give her some compliments, then think of a way.

"No problem! Job opportunities are certainly precious, but being able to save a life, I think, is very worthwhile."

She seemed indifferent to losing the interview opportunity at Qiaobang.

Only someone with her capability would be so confident.

If it were an ordinary social doctor, getting an interview opportunity at Qiaobang Hospital would be a dream come true, something they’d cherish greatly.

"Dr. Li, why did you persistently think the injured could be saved just now?"

She was particularly curious about this.

"Because I felt his carotid artery consistently getting stronger, so I believed that the resuscitation was having an effect."

Li Jingsheng did not hide from her and spoke truthfully.

"But when I felt his carotid artery, I didn’t notice these things!"

She hadn’t learned the Bone Touching Skill, nor was she a surgeon, lacking sensitive touch, so she couldn’t feel the details, which is entirely normal.

"If you carefully feel it, I believe you would surely notice the changes in the patient’s carotid artery. If you are interested in this aspect of medical skills, we can discuss it in the future."

Li Jingsheng step by step interacted with her, slowly looking for opportunities to persuade her to join Sunshine Clinic.

At least for now, to establish some friendship, if in the future the offer is right, letting her take a part-time position at the clinic, she probably wouldn’t refuse.

Not sure what her husband does for a living.

If both husband and wife are doctors, Li Jingsheng might even consider recruiting them both.

An anesthesiologist is an extremely important role in his development plan.
