Peking Union Medical College Hospital Emergency Room,

A phone call shattered the dawn silence.

Ring ring ring~~

"This is Peking Union Emergency Room."

"Alright, we’ll get ready right away!"

The head nurse received the call, her expression immediately turned somber, and she swiftly ran to the office after hanging up the phone.

"Dr. Cui, a car accident on the highway, two severely unconscious, one with multiple fractures, arriving in 15 minutes."

"Notify the critical care, orthopedic, neurosurgery, internal medicine, and surgical departments. Open green channels, prepare the emergency room and operating theater!"

A middle-aged female doctor on duty instantly stood up upon hearing this, almost instinctively beginning to give commands.

A car accident at this hour, and on the highway.

Experience tells them this will be life-threatening!

"Critical care, alright, I’m heading over now."

Critical Care Department, Qin Feng answered the phone, it was from the emergency room,

"Xiao Wen, wake up Dr. Lin, I’m going to the emergency room."

"Alright, Dr. Qin, I’ll go right away."

After saying this, Qin Feng grabbed his white coat, shook it out, swiftly put it on, hung the stethoscope around his neck, and dashed out of the office.

Woo woo~ woo woo~ woo woo~

Two 120 emergency vehicles blared their sirens, rushed into the hospital entrance, and sprinted down the emergency green channel.

Screech~!

The piercing sound of brakes was heard, the car stopped steadily.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

The emergency medical staff rushed over with a stretcher, the car door opened, and the moment the patient was pushed out, everyone’s scalps tingled.

Blood!

The entire bed was covered in blood!

The young man’s police uniform had already been cut open in the middle, his police badge was almost obscured by the bloodstains.

"Transfer to the bed!"

The head nurse shouted loudly, "1, 2, 3! Next one!"

"Quickly send him to the emergency room!"

"This patient has half his body crushed by the truck cab, severe blood loss, experienced multiple ventricular fibrillations en route."

The accompanying emergency center doctor, hands bloody, took deep breaths while briefly reporting the situation to the emergency doctor,

"This is the truck driver, sudden cardiac arrest, head and chest fractures, severe blood loss, multiple open wounds..."

"Alright, I understand."

Dr. Cui nodded and rushed into the emergency room, inside doctors and nurses were already starting the resuscitation.

"Ventricular fibrillation! Defibrillator!"

"150J, charge!"

"Clear the bed!"

Bang!

"1mg adrenaline, push it fast."

The young man’s body was covered in cyanosis, unconscious, as the doctor performed vigorous chest compressions, blood continuously oozed from his mouth.

"Are the other department doctors here?"

Cui Fang, full of tension, pressed furiously during resuscitation, shouted.

"They’re here!"

"Get him examined first, orthopedics ready for surgery!"

"200J charge."

"Clear the bed!"

Bang~

"Again!"

"Clear the bed!"

Bang~

...

On the two beds in the emergency room, defibrillation and resuscitation were being performed almost simultaneously, blood constantly dripped from the patients’ arms, fingertips to the floor.

Nurses quickly opened two intravenous channels, fluids and plasma were directly opened to max.

Beep~ beep~ beep~

Finally, after three defibrillations, the young man regained a weak heartbeat, but the situation was very bad!

"Quickly do bedside ultrasound, chest, and brain CT, pull the ECG..."

Cui Fang estimated with blood-soaked hands, said and hastily walked out of the emergency room.

Inside the meeting room,

In 15 minutes, all examination reports were completed.

"Everyone, take a look."

Cui Fang placed the CT images on the screen, everyone’s expressions immediately turned heavy,

"Patient Zhang Yi, male, 26 years old, Beijing highway traffic police, encountered a sudden accident with a truck driver while on patrol at night, unable to awaken, forcibly used his vehicle to stop it, but the truck overturned after hitting the protective barrier.

The two vehicles collided violently, the cargo spilled out and hit the police car, causing severe injuries."

Qin Feng’s pupils shrank drastically, his heart seized.

It’s over!

Severe brain hemorrhage, massive bleeding inside the chest, half of the ribs in comminuted fractures, likely causing serious damage to internal organs.

From the CT scan, over two-thirds of the left lung is shattered, a blur.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the heart seems undamaged, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it this far.

"Have the family been contacted?"

After a moment of silence, the attending neurosurgeon asked.

"The family has been notified."

The emergency department’s Cui Fang nodded.

"There’s nothing we can do about this."

The neurosurgeon shook his head first, sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, other department doctors remained silent.

With such serious injuries, there’s indeed no hope for recovery, let alone brain death has become inevitable, it’s just a matter of time. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Dr. Qin."

Cui Fang’s gaze fixed on Qin Feng.

"Critical care is the final baseline to preserve life, only they can keep him hanging."

"8 hours."

Qin Feng pondered for several seconds, slowly stating a time,

"Looking at the patient’s current condition, vital signs are very weak, organs have lost function, even if sent to surgery, he wouldn’t last half an hour.

If machines are used now, it can last a while longer."

After saying this, several doctors nodded silently.

Everyone agreed with his opinion!

In the current situation, if we forcefully keep him alive, he might live for a few more hours; once he goes on stage, death is instantaneous.

"Alright, I understand."

Hearing this, Cui Fang didn’t continue questioning. She actually understood too and then switched to another patient’s CT scan and examination report.

A truck driver with a brain hemorrhage and a heart attack, his condition is somewhat better than the previous one.

There’s still a glimmer of hope for him, though there’s a three-millimeter hemorrhage in the brain. If surgery is performed now, he might survive.

Another older patient will be taken to surgery by the orthopedics and hepatobiliary departments, which shouldn’t pose much of an issue.

Quickly determining the surgical plan, the two patients were immediately sent to the operating room for emergency surgery.

....

After the meeting, Qin Feng called the intensive care unit to arrange for a sterile ward and circulation system to maintain vital signs.

He walked into the emergency room and saw a young man in a police uniform still on, about the same age as himself.

Sighing quietly in his heart, he walked out with a calm expression.

Such things happen too often in the hospital; life and death are something he’s used to, yet it’s still saddening.

"Doctor! Doctor! I beg you to save him!"

Just stepping out of the rescue room, he heard a man’s pleading voice with a sobbing tone in the corridor not far away,

"He’s only 26, he just became a father!

Had it not been for the fireworks loaded on the truck, he wouldn’t have driven to block it! Doctor, you have to save him!"

Tap, tap, tap~

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the emergency entrance.

A young woman holding a child in her arms, accompanied by a woman about 50 years old, rushed in with flustered faces.

"Doc... doctor, where is my husband? How is he?"

The woman saw Qin Feng standing at the door and grabbed him to ask.

"What is your husband’s name?"

"Zhang... Zhang Yi."

Upon hearing this name, Qin Feng’s heart sank.

Indeed, it’s the family!

Looking at the still-sleeping baby in the woman’s arms, he didn’t know how to start.

"Please don’t worry, come with me."

Qin Feng led them to the emergency office, "I’ll get a doctor for you, please wait."

Soon, Cui Fang brought the police officer who had come with the ambulance to the office as well.

Less than 10 minutes later, another highway patrol car drove into the hospital, and three officers rushed to the emergency department.

At this moment, the corridor of the emergency office was already filled with the pained cries of an elder.

....

Two hours later,

Dawn broke.

In the intensive care unit’s conference room, Zhang Yi’s family and several leaders from his workplace were present.

Meng Dawei, having received the news last night, hurried to the hospital before dawn.

At this moment, Zhang Yi was on life support in the ICU, with Qin Feng as his primary attending physician.

"The patient’s current condition indeed makes surgery impossible; we have tried our best."

Meng Dawei said helplessly,

"Given the current situation, although the patient still has vital signs, he can only hold on for a maximum of 5 hours."

Following these words, the room fell silent, only accompanied by the faint cooing of a baby.

The patient’s wife and mother had swollen eyes like walnuts, while the three leaders felt dry-mouthed, not knowing what to say.

"Zhang Yi was a good young man, a good officer."

A middle-aged man in a police uniform sighed and said in a deep voice,

"If it weren’t for him using his life to stop the truck, the explosion’s aftermath would have been even more severe."

"Indeed, according to our site report, the truck was loaded with large fireworks, and there was over 150 liters of gasoline in the vehicle. If it had collided and overturned, causing an explosion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Yi is a hero!"

Upon hearing this, the woman’s tears fell like a broken string of pearls as she buried her head and sobbed uncontrollably.

Knock, knock, knock~

At this moment,

The sound of knocking came from the office door.

Qin Feng got up to open it and found Lin Hai, looking anxious and hurried.

He quickly stepped outside, closing the door behind him.

"What’s the matter?"

"Qin Feng, take a look at this."

Lin Hai handed him a document, "This is from the Xianyang City First People’s Hospital in Shannan Province.

This morning, as soon as Zhang Yi’s medical record was synchronized, the medical affairs office received their call.

Two years ago, Zhang Yi had signed a body donation consent form, and he’s a perfect match with a 19-year-old patient with terminal heart failure in Xianyang City. So they asked us to see if we could get the family’s consent to save this child.

They don’t have much time there either!"

"Body donation?"

Qin Feng was taken aback upon hearing it, then fell silent.

Zhang Yi’s death was imminent, but if possible, one life could end while another gains a new beginning.

However, even if the patient himself signed for body donation before his death, the family’s consent is still required afterward.

Otherwise, the hospital cannot handle the patient’s body without consent, as it’s illegal!

Qin Feng pondered and gradually his gaze turned firm.

"Alright, I understand, I’ll try to get the family’s consent!"

"Thank you, they’re waiting for a response urgently."

Lin Hai nodded.

Qin Feng turned back, opened the door, and walked back.

There’s a brave police officer who sacrificed himself here, and a student waiting for a new life there.

"To the family, the patient can hold on for another 5 hours at most, but there’s little meaning in that."

He sat down facing them and calmly spoke,

"But there’s something Zhang Yi did before that I don’t know if you’re aware of."

"What is it~"

Zhang Yi’s mother immediately asked, both of them looking at him with teary eyes.

"He signed a body donation consent form."

Qin Feng said in a slightly low voice,

"We just received news from the Xianyang City First People’s Hospital in Shannan Province; they have a 19-year-old college student with severe heart failure, who doesn’t have much longer to live..."

"No way! If you dare touch a hair on my son, I’ll crash here and die!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Yi’s mother immediately yelled in anger.

Qin Feng was interrupted and did not continue speaking.

He had predicted this kind of situation...

Convincing the family to agree to body donation is a thousand times harder than saving a life!
