Chapter 24 Gun Wounds
Comrade Gu Baobao was giving her a stern and serious reprimand to her cousin, who was not staying in the ward to recover from his injuries and had to come out to join in the fun.
"Brother, look at you! It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Your leg just got set and you're already moving around like that. What if it gets dislocated? Do you want to be a cripple? Go back to bed right now!"
Her voice was soft and gentle, but the reproach and concern in her tone were genuine. As she spoke, she reached out to help the wheelchair.
Gu Dongguo was stunned by his sister's imposing manner as a young doctor and forgot to refute her.
The main reason was that the scene of his sister saving people was so shocking that now when he looks at his sister, he always feels that she has a halo of divine healing above her head and that her words are full of holy light.
Just as the siblings were deeply moved, a cautious voice, brimming with barely concealed excitement and curiosity, broke in:
"Young man, may I ask which hospital you are a doctor from?"
The one asking the question was Dean Zhou Mingren.
He saw it clearly just now. The first aid technique was unheard of but had a remarkable effect. The girl's composure in the face of danger was also rare. She is definitely a promising talent!
No, he might already be a mature talent!
If we could poach their hospital...
Gu Baobao turned her head at the sound, the stern look on her face instantly disappearing, replaced by her usual innocent and naive expression.
She blinked her large, watery eyes, looked at Dean Zhou, and answered honestly:
"Huh? I'm not from the hospital. I'm a barefoot doctor from Qinghe Village, Qingshan Commune, Liaoning Province. I learned from Grandpa Chen."
"Barefoot doctor?"
The excitement and anticipation on Zhou Mingren's face visibly froze, then slowly cracked.
He felt as if several cold arrows called reality were stabbing his heart.
Were they not trained by a major hospital?
Not from a professional background?
Just a... young apprentice trained by a country folk doctor?
This disparity caused his outstretched hand, which had been about to extend an olive branch, to freeze awkwardly in mid-air.
However, the same words had a completely different meaning when they fell into the ears of the group of young officers who were listening intently nearby, as well as the ears of a certain regimental commander who was always watching closely.
Barefoot doctor?
So... so openly and even a little proudly, he said it?
He was neither ashamed of his rural background nor arrogant because of his great abilities.
Those clear eyes looked at you, as if saying...
"Yes, I'm from the village, so what?"
Pure, frank, and with a touch of naive innocence.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"
This time it wasn't a cold arrow, it was Cupid's arrow!
It's the kind that's bigger, bolder, and has colorful dazzling effects!
It hit the heart of the group of young officers, led by Lu Zhanming, with perfect accuracy!
How can she be so cute?!
He just saved someone like a god descended from heaven, and now he can turn around and say something with such an innocent expression.
"I am a barefoot doctor."
This huge contrast, this unpretentious purity, is simply... simply breathtaking!
Lu Zhanming's Adam's apple bobbed heavily as he stared at Gu Baobao's profile, his gaze so deep it was almost black.
He felt that his 27 years of unwavering defenses had been breached by this girl in the most unintentional way, creating a huge crack, and then a surge of scalding emotions rushed in, which could no longer be contained.
Dean Zhou was still feeling disheartened about being turned into a barefoot doctor despite being a top talent. He was thinking that even a barefoot doctor with such emergency skills and courage was worth training, and wondered if he should ask again...
"Make way! Make way! First aid! Seriously wounded!"
"Dean! Where is the Dean?!"
A sudden burst of more urgent and chaotic noise, mixed with the clanging of metal and heavy footsteps, broke the delicate atmosphere in the corridor as it approached from afar!
Everyone looked on in horror and saw several doctors and nurses pushing an emergency stretcher, rushing towards them at top speed!
Lying on the stretcher was an elderly man with gray hair and a clear face, who appeared to be around sixty years old.
He was dressed in a faded Zhongshan suit, exuding a refined and scholarly air, but at this moment his eyes were closed, his face was ashen, and his breath was weak.
The most shocking thing is:
On the left side of his chest, near his heart, his clothes had been cut open with a large hole, revealing a gruesome wound that was still gushing blood!
Gunshot wound!
And it was a gunshot wound close to the heart!
Gu Baobao's pupils suddenly contracted!
Before her time travel, she was a top surgeon who had participated in numerous international peacekeeping medical missions, treating countless gunshot wounds and blast injuries!
The shape, location, and amount of bleeding of the wound... she could judge the severity of the situation at a glance!
This is definitely not a simple graze from a stray bullet!
"Dean! This is a senior expert who was just escorted from the secret research base! He was ambushed by spies on the way and shot in the chest!"
The bullet might be lodged in my chest cavity, and the bleeding is out of control! We've seen the best surgeons in our hospital, but they can't stop the bleeding and dare not operate!
Experts dispatched from the provincial government and the General Hospital of the Military Region are on their way, but now…
Dr. Song Xuede, the attending physician pushing the stretcher, quickly reported to Zhou Mingren, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He pressed his hands firmly against the old man's wound, trying to stop the bleeding, but blood continued to gush out from between his fingers, staining the snow-white gauze and sheets red.
We are powerless!
The best surgeons in the entire hospital were at a loss!
If the bleeding cannot be stopped, the surgery is extremely risky. The patient may die from shock due to excessive blood loss at any time, or the bullet may shift and pierce the heart and major blood vessels, killing the patient on the spot!
Zhou Mingren's face instantly turned even paler than the wounded soldier's.
He recognized the old man; he was one of the top physicists involved in important national defense projects, a true national treasure!
If something happens at their hospital... the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Isn't there any other way? Blood transfusion! Pressure transfusion! Maintain blood pressure! Wait for the experts to arrive!"
