"Ye Qiu, quick! There's a situation with patient No. 10!" Xiao Song shouted in panic at the door of the washroom.
My face instantly turned pale. I threw away the towel in my hand and looked at Xiao Song anxiously."What happened? She was fine just now!"
"I'm not sure either. It might be a reaction from the infusion. The chief nurse and the doctor in charge have already started resuscitation.”After Xiao Song finished speaking, he turned around and headed straight for the ward.
When I heard this sudden news, I felt my heart beat faster. I rushed out of the bathroom and followed Xiao Song to the ward. The patient in Bed 10 was an elder sister who was newly admitted to the hospital yesterday. She fell and was hospitalized because she was riding a bicycle to deliver food to her daughter. She was in good health and had a very cheerful personality. When I arrived at the department in the morning, I checked on her condition first. Seeing that her injured leg was swollen, I gave her a solution to reduce the swelling according to the doctor's prescription. However, I didn't expect her to have a problem as soon as I left the ward. If it was really a transfusion reaction as Xiao Song estimated, I would definitely be blamed.
In the ward, the head nurse, Xiao Yang, and a few nurses surrounded the bed. Some were busy giving medicine, some were busy recording the patient's condition, and some were checking the patient's vital signs. As the nurse in charge, I rushed to the bed in a hurry. I saw that the patient's face was pale and she was having difficulty breathing. The values on the monitor were very unstable. I was instantly at a loss. I was really afraid that this big sister would just leave like that.
The head guard looked at me with displeasure, but because there were too many people present, he didn't directly blame me for my mistake.
"Ye Qiu, 10 milligrams of rice into the pot!”Xiao Yang said seriously when he saw me rushing to the bed nervously. He is the doctor in charge of Bed 10. If anything happens to the patient, he and I will not be able to escape responsibility.
Hearing Xiao Yang's loud voice, I quickly came back to my senses. I nodded and repeated his oral advice. I quickly found the medicine needed from the first aid kit and gave it to the patient. Seeing that the patient was still having difficulty breathing, Xiao Yang asked me to increase the oxygen concentration. Seeing Xiao Yang calm and confident, my worries disappeared by half. I followed his instructions and tried my best to save him.
Just like that, Xiao Yang and I worked closely together under the silent gaze of the chief protector and the others, doing our best to save this big sister's life. Sure enough, the heavens paid off. With Xiao Yang and my efforts, the patient's breathing stabilized half an hour later, and all his vital signs returned to normal. The head nurse nodded in approval and asked Xiao Song to stay behind to take care of the patient. I was called to the office by her sternly.
"Ye Qiu, what were you doing just now?”The guard's face was ashen as he questioned sternly.
I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. I really didn't know how to answer the chief protector's question. If I told the truth, I would definitely disappoint the Head Guard. If the Director found out about this, he would probably take the opportunity to take revenge and deduct my bonus for another month. With my current situation, if I don't get this month's bonus, I'm afraid my mom will have to eat vegetables with me every day. But I've never lied since I was a child, let alone facing a serious guardian.
Just as I was trembling with fear and didn't know how to speak, there was a gentle knock on the door. The guard said impatiently,"Come in!"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who walked in was Liu Xue, who smelled like makeup.
The Head Guard didn't have a good impression of Liu Xue. He continued to look livid and said in a bad mood,""What do you want?"
"I'm here to tell you what Ye Qiu did just now!”Liu Xue glanced at me and sneered at the Head Guard.
"I only want to hear what Ye Qiu has to say!" The guard snorted coldly and said solemnly.”
When Liu Xue heard the words of the chief protector, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. However, she immediately put on a cunning smile and said softly,"Guard, I'm afraid Ye Qiu won't tell the truth.”
The Head Guard ignored Liu Xue and looked at me solemnly."Ye Qiu, where did you go? Why would the patient suddenly have a condition?”
" I, I…" I suddenly stuttered. I just couldn't come up with a lie to excuse myself.
Liu Xue looked at my flushed face and laughed coldly,""Ye Qiu, you have nothing else to say, right? You came to the department in the morning with unkempt hair and dirty face. After checking on the patient, you rushed to get an infusion. I'm afraid you haven't even washed your hands!”
"Liu Xue, you're talking nonsense!" I was so angry that I wanted to tear this gossiping woman apart. I was in a sorry state this morning, but I'm still a student who graduated from a medical school. How could I not wash my hands carefully before the infusion?
"Ye Qiu, not only are you not serious, but you even secretly went to the bathroom to wash up during the busy hours. If it wasn't for Doctor Xiao discovering that there was something wrong with the patient, I'm afraid our department would have been attacked by the patient's family again.”Liu Xue glared at me, her words hitting my vitals.
After hearing Liu Xue's words, the Head Guard looked at me doubtfully and said sternly,""Ye Qiu, is what she said true?”
I knew that Liu Xue and I had been enemies for a long time. Since she could come straight to the chief nurse's office to report me today, she definitely wouldn't let it go. Moreover, I did go to the bathroom to wash up just now. That's why I couldn't rush to the scene immediately when the patient was in a condition. It has already happened, and I don't want to defend myself anymore. As long as the patient is fine, it's a blessing in disguise.
Just as I was about to admit my negligence to the Head Guard, there was another knock on the door. The Head Guard looked at Liu Xue and me and sneered," My office is really lively today." Then, he gestured for me to open the door.
I reached out to open the door. The person standing at the door was Xiao Yang. I looked at him in confusion and whispered,"Why are you here? How is the patient now?"
"Don't worry, the patient is fine!" Xiao Yang smiled and said gently.”
When the Head Guard heard my conversation with Xiao Yang, a smile finally appeared on his face. He said softly,"Hurry up and let Doctor Xiao in."
Xiao Yang smiled as he walked into the office. I closed the door behind him.
"Doctor Xiao, what's the matter?" The Head Guard asked Xiao Yang to sit down and smiled. Even though the head nurse was usually stern in front of the nurses, she was very good to the young doctor and acted like a loving mother.
"Head Nurse, I passed by your office just now and heard Liu Xue questioning Ye Qiu's infusion. Actually, based on the patient's condition just now, it might not be the infusion reaction that everyone is thinking!”Xiao Yang glanced at Liu Xue and said unhurriedly.
The head nurse looked at Xiao Yang in surprise. She had been a head nurse for more than 20 years, and this was the first time she had seen a doctor come out to talk to a nurse. She said softly,"Then what do you think of the patient's condition?”
"The patient is on the fat side. I suspect that it might be fat embolus. I've already asked the radiology department to take a chest X-ray just now.”Xiao Yang said seriously.
Without waiting for the Head Guard to speak, Liu Xue spoke first,""Doctor Xiao, fat embolisms are a serious problem. Do you think you can save him with your skills? Last year, a patient had a sudden fat embolus, and even the department director could not save him.”
Xiao Yang looked at Liu Xue and chuckled,""Why? Are you doubting my ability? My reputation as a PhD student is not undeserved!”
Liu Xue thought that Xiao Yang would obediently give in as long as she brought up the director. However, she did not expect Xiao Yang to be so unafraid of offending people. He actually made her speechless with one sentence.
After listening to the conversation between Xiao Yang and Liu Xue, the Head Guard took a sip of tea on the table and laughed loudly,""As the saying goes, the new waves push on the previous ones. Doctor Xiao is the only PhD student in our hospital. It's not surprising that he can save a patient with fat edema!”
Liu Xue saw that her plan to destroy me was about to be destroyed. Her phoenix eyes widened as she asked the guard loudly,"Do you think Xiao Yang's skills can really beat the department director?”
"I didn't say that. It's just that he did save ten patients today.”The Head Guard glared at Liu Xue in disgust and said coldly.
When Liu Xue heard the words of the Head Guard, her face instantly turned as green as an eggplant. She glared at me fiercely and said,"Ye Qiu, you're lucky this time!"
I was so nervous that I didn't know how to deal with Liu Xue's provocation. Now that Xiao Yang had come out to speak, I immediately calmed down. I looked at Liu Xue with disdain and said solemnly,"Just be safe. Don't keep thinking about me!”
Liu Xue glanced at me and Xiao Yang, snorted coldly, and slammed the door as she walked out of the office.
I looked at Xiao Yang gratefully. Just as I was about to thank him, the guard said solemnly,"Today's matter was truly frightening but not dangerous. Ye Qiu, you have to be on your guard in the future. Don't let Liu Xue get hold of anything else. I can protect you for now, but I can't protect you forever!”
"I understand, Protector-General. I will be extra careful in the future and will not cause you any more trouble.”I lowered my head in embarrassment. All these years, if it wasn't for the Head Protector encouraging me, teaching me, and protecting me like a mother, I'm afraid that I would have been squeezed out of the department by Liu Xue, this demoness.
"Alright, you and Dr. Xiao can go out and do your work. Be careful in the future!”
"Then we'll be leaving!" Xiao Yang and I smiled at the nurse at the same time, then opened the door and walked out of her office.
When we reached the corridor, I couldn't help but say gratefully to Xiao Yang,""Thank you for today!"
"It's nothing. I just can't stand Liu Xue spreading rumors.”Xiao Yang smiled.
"But you might offend the director because of me!”I said guiltily. Liu Xue suffered so much today, she will definitely find an opportunity to complain to the director. With the director's petty heart, he will definitely make things difficult for Xiao Yang in the future, and all of this is because of me.
Xiao Yang was optimistic, he chuckled and said,"It's okay. If the director really finds trouble for me because of this, he's not the person I want to follow, and there's no need for me to stay!”
"I'm relieved that you think so. Anyway, it's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, my bonus this month would definitely be gone. I'll treat you to a meal another day.”My principle as a person is to not owe anyone anything. Today, I owe Xiao Yang a favor, so I must return it.
Xiao Yang actually didn't reject my good intentions. He laughed and said,"That's great. Last time I treated you, you were busy and didn't go. This time, I must go if you treat me. Remember to be quick!”
"Alright, next week then!" I smiled. Actually, I didn't want to get too close to Xiao Yang because he had feelings for me. But today, he even offended the director because of me. What's the big deal if I treat him to a meal? At most, I'll invite Tian Xi along to save the awkwardness between a man and a woman.
