Chapter 78 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
How incredibly unlucky must they be to encounter something like this? Besides, the patients in their department are all in relatively stable condition. It doesn't make sense that nothing happened a few days ago, and now something's wrong.
So Lin Wei and Yang Mingjie weren't worried at all; in fact, they were quite happy to have night shifts. Of course, this is only how newcomers think at the beginning; they'll stop thinking this way after working a few more night shifts.
Dr. Ding Hong is on duty tonight. In addition to him, there is another nurse on the night shift. I heard that she just graduated and joined the hospital this year and is rotating through the department.
There is usually only one nurse assigned to the night shift.
Seeing them, Nurse Luo Xianli asked, "Dr. Lin, Dr. Yang, Dr. Ding, would you like some milk tea?" It's the middle of the night, and it's quite boring not to drink anything.
Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded in unison. "Thank you, Nurse Luo."
Although she claims to be health-conscious, she can still have a drink without any problem. However, Lin Wei thought that if she treated her several times, she wouldn't even earn enough to cover the cost of the treats, so she looked at her and said, "I'll treat you next time."
Nurse Luo chuckled, "Okay." She felt a little more at ease.
Although nurses and doctors have a clear division of labor and each has their own work, there are bound to be times when they need to cooperate in clinical practice. If you are not familiar with them at all, it will be very difficult to work here.
Compared to the older staff who have been in the department for a while, the new students are obviously easier to approach. If you can build a good relationship with them, it will be beneficial for getting things done later.
Regardless, Lin Wei still got to drink milk tea. This time, she didn't ask for it to be extra sweet, and was even afraid that if she drank too much, she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she only ordered a small cup.
"This night shift feels so much easier." The patients are all in their rooms, no one's been admitted yet, and the ward is quiet. It's much more comfortable than the noisy mornings. Lin Wei said to Yang Mingjie.
Yang Mingjie: "You'd better not say anything. I've heard that these things in hospitals are very mysterious. The more you say you're not busy, the busier you'll be later." Although he was a little skeptical, he couldn't completely disregard the experience of his seniors. It's called better to believe it than not.
Lin Wei really couldn't imagine what kind of trouble this could cause.
Beside her, Nurse Luo also seemed uneasy. "Dr. Lin, you'd better not say anything more. If they really come, we'll be in big trouble." Actually, she wanted to say that they were doomed. She was just a newly graduated rotating nurse, and she was the only nurse on duty today. If something really happened, she wasn't sure she could handle it.
Lin Wei: "Really?" So superstitious? Isn't it just a coincidence? If you say it every day, do you expect patients to come to you every day?
"That's great. When no one comes to the hospital, someone can stand there and say that the hospital has good performance every day."
After hearing what she said, Nurse Luo felt that she made a good point. "If this method really works, the hospital won't cut salaries anymore." The salaries of rotating nurses were already low, and now it felt like they were even lower.
Lin Wei: "Heh, we don't even get paid yet." We're lucky if we don't have to pay out of pocket.
As the three were chatting casually, and Dr. Ding Hong was in his office, a phone rang in the department. Nurse Luo quickly answered it.
"Hello, this is the Cardiac Surgery Ward 9."
A slightly noisy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, this is the emergency department. Do you have any beds available? I have a patient who needs to be admitted."
Nurse Luo glanced at the list and saw that there were a few beds available, but she still asked about the specific details.
"What's the patient's condition? Is he/she still conscious?"
Emergency Department: "She's fine, conscious." The words were somewhat unclear.
At this moment, Dr. Ding Hong walked over and took the phone from her hand. "Since the situation is quite good, let's leave it to other departments." You can't trust a single word from the emergency department's phone.
Finally, with no other option, the other person told the truth, "Actually, it's nothing serious, just a few stab wounds to the chest, and some bleeding." She looked at the person whose gauze was soaked and whose vital signs had just been stabilized with great difficulty, and said without batting an eye.
Dr. Ding: "..." Isn't this a big problem? No one in the emergency department tells the truth, but there's nothing he can do. Director Zheng has stipulated that as long as it's a surgical emergency, the department should accept it if there are beds available, so he still accepted it.
He turned to Lin Wei and Yang Mingjie and said, "The first lesson I'm going to teach you is never to trust calls from the emergency department. They'll say anything to get patients admitted to the department."
Lin Wei and Yang Mingjie witnessed this firsthand. They had barely agreed when the patient was already at the door. It would be a lie to say they hadn't set off in advance.
What's more, this is considered a little bleeding? How many times were you stabbed?
A group of people stared blankly at the person who had been stabbed more than a dozen times and was covered in blood. After a moment of surprise, they quickly began to provide first aid.
ECG monitoring, oxygen mask, blood oxygenation, and intravenous access were all arranged.
However, when establishing intravenous access, Nurse Luo encountered a problem. Because the patient had lost too much blood, the veins were barely visible. She tried to insert the needle twice but failed, and she was sweating profusely.
No, it's too difficult to puncture.
Normally, when she encounters a vein that is difficult to puncture or cannot be inserted, she can ask other nurses for help, but now she is the only one in the department.
Just as she was wondering whether she should ask another colleague from another department for help, Lin Wei saw that she had tried to insert the needle twice but failed, so she walked over and said, "Let me do it."
Nurse Luo was actually a little skeptical of her, as she had never heard of a doctor with excellent acupuncture skills, especially since she was just a clinical intern. However, she had no other choice at the moment and simply handed the case over to her.
After receiving the indwelling needle, Lin Wei performed routine disinfection and then inserted it into the patient's arm vein. His vein was indeed difficult to see, but she still managed to insert the catheter successfully on the first try. She did not take care of the rest herself, but left it to Nurse Luo.
Nurse Luo was stunned.
I never expected that she could give injections, and she did it so well that you couldn't even see the veins. It was practically a blind puncture. Even experienced nurses could only do that.
But she knew that even the veteran nurses couldn't do it as easily as she did, as if inserting the needle on the first try was a perfectly normal thing.
Once intravenous access is established, the routine involves fluid resuscitation and the use of vasoactive drugs.
After examining the injuries, Ding Hong scoffed, "Those people in the emergency department are quite capable, managing to get him all the way to our department."
The rest is manageable. The wound is relatively shallow and the bleeding is not excessive. In the early stages, we can use gauze to compress the wound to stop the bleeding, and later we can just suture it.
However, two of the cuts were quite deep, and the bleeding was extremely severe. He was alone and could only treat one wound at a time. He probably wouldn't even be able to finish treating one wound before the patient died from hemorrhagic shock.
At this point, he could only turn his attention to the two new students. "You two help me out. Yang Mingjie, you're a boy, you're stronger, help me press down on this wound to stop the bleeding. Lin Wei, you stitch up those superficial wounds."
As for him, let's treat the other wound first.
Upon hearing this, before Yang Mingjie could even react, Lin Wei had already picked up a needle and thread and begun cleaning and suturing the wound. She was incredibly fast, creating one wound per minute.
Upon seeing this, Yang Mingjie quickly reacted, putting on gloves, cleaning the wound, and applying pressure to stop the bleeding and prevent further hemorrhage. At first, he thought it was a simple matter, but seeing the blood still gushing out, he said, "Teacher, the bleeding won't stop!" His face showed signs of panic.
Who would have thought that stopping a bleeding problem would be so difficult? He thought it was because he hadn't pressed hard enough, but he had already used all his strength, and the bleeding not only didn't decrease, but increased instead.
When Ding Hong saw this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Was he trying to stop the bleeding or did he think that there wasn't enough blood left?
However, at this moment, he had already begun to treat another wound, and his face turned particularly ugly when he saw that no matter how he asked him to correct it, he couldn't get it to the right place.
Finally, they could only turn their attention to Lin Wei, saying, "You press it."
"Is that alright?" came the question.
In the end, Lin Wei had no choice but to stop sewing and take over the work from Yang Mingjie.
Ding Hong originally thought she would also be like that kid from before, searching for a long time without finding a seat. However, Lin Wei only glanced at the wound and pressed down directly.
Ding Hong wanted to scold her and tell her to make sure she knew where the bleeding point was before pressing, but before he could say anything, he saw that the wound that had been bleeding had stopped bleeding, and not a single drop was bleeding. At that moment, he felt relieved.
"Not bad, how did you know it was there?" Even he would have to investigate to find out.
Lin Wei: "Intuition." When in doubt, just rely on your intuition.
Ding Hong reluctantly believed this. If it wasn't intuition, could it mean she was incredibly capable, able to spot something even he couldn't see at a glance? Wasn't that a joke?
At this moment, Yang Mingjie was still standing there dumbfounded. Lin Wei glanced at him and gestured with her eyes, signaling him to continue her stitching.
Yang Mingjie obediently went up, but the stitches he made were nowhere near as good as Lin Wei's. Ding Hong was a little disgusted when he saw them, but he didn't say anything, because this was the skill level of most people.
Fortunately, the patient did not suffer any serious damage to vital organs; otherwise, the few of them wouldn't have been enough, and they would have had to call in more people.
Once the patient was successfully treated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding Hong: "You guys keep an eye on this patient, I'm going to rest for a bit." Normally he'd be asleep by now, but this patient's rescue has left him feeling completely exhausted. Especially since there's no one around to help him.
It has to be said that Lin Wei helped him a lot.
Because of this, the next day, when he talked about it with his other colleagues, he was full of praise: "You don't know that she can not only give injections, but also sew very well and is very good at stopping bleeding and applying pressure. I just don't know if it's luck or something else."
Because of this, a group of people went to the bedside of the patient who was admitted to the emergency room yesterday to take a look at his wound. Most of them looked good, and it was precisely because most of them looked good that some of the stitches next to him looked very rough.
The patient's family complained, "Who stitched this up? It looks good on one side and bad on the other." They started to care about this after they learned that their son wouldn't die.
