Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: Semifinals
The second round of Bai Xiao’s semifinal has already begun.
In the afternoon of the next day, the China Delegation was waiting in the MRI room, with three judges observing and supervising them throughout.
They were the fifth from the last.
The semifinals would be completely finished this afternoon.
Many people were curious about the China Delegation.
They wanted to see if the dark horse, Bai Xiao, could lead the team to emerge victorious tomorrow.
They were waiting for the arrival of the patient.
At this moment, one of the judges, an elderly man with graying hair, clutched his chest and collapsed, looking visibly distressed and not well at all.
Bai Xiao and the others looked at each other.
In an instant, everyone understood.
This was an exam!
No wonder the patient never showed up; the patient was a temporarily designated judge!
This was to test their emergency measures and capabilities in the face of unexpected incidents.
There was no need for Bai Xiao to command! Everyone instantly understood the rescue procedures they needed to follow.
No one considered whether the patient was a real patient or just pretending.
How could a patient act?
But those involved were confused, and no one thought about it.
Everyone was engrossed in the competition, focused solely on dealing with various competition scenarios.
Primarily because the organizing committee had a track record.
During the initial test, they played enough tricks on them, turning a rigorous medical competition into a survival training exercise, making this group of bookworms more... guarded about the subsequent competitions.
Who would mess around like this!
Who would have such an unreliable organizing committee?
Thus, Bai Xiao felt a vague sense of unease, but seeing the person in front of them about to lose consciousness, who dared to delay?
Regardless of whether it was real or fake, no one cared; in front of a doctor, saving a life is the greatest thing in the world, irrelevant of any personal grievances, gender, or nationality, it is a race against death.
"It’s anaerobic bacterial pneumonia causing acute shock."
"After emergency care, breathing is recovering, heart rate and pulse are returning to normal."
"Now, perform an MRI."
"Come! Four people, together, ready, one, two, three... all right."
As the machine started, apart from the operating doctor and a judge attending the patient, everyone else exited the MRI room.
At this moment, four nurses appeared at the door, pushing a hospital bed.
"Huh?"
This confused Bai Xiao and the others, how was there another one?
Just at that moment, the door of the MRI room opened, and the patient inside needed to be lifted out.
Someone brought a hospital bed, the patient had been transferred to it, and the next patient was already being wheeled in by the nurses.
Someone had already retrieved the MRI scans, "The patient shows increased coarse and disorderly vascular patterns in both lower lungs, mixed with patchy shadows with indistinct edges, accompanied by signs of empyema and pleural effusion. Immediate surgery is required, otherwise, it is life-threatening."
This surgery isn’t actually major! It’s a regular surgical procedure, and Bai Xiao and the others decided to immediately take the patient to the operating room, as this case involved an acute patient that couldn’t wait.
The surgical matching team had also formed a surgical team and immediately transported the patient to the operating room.
They had just left.
The MRI room had closed its doors once again.
Bai Xiao and the others asked the nurse.
"Is this patient part of the competition?"
They had to figure it out, otherwise, it would delay many things. Saving lives shouldn’t be delayed, but neither should the competition be missed.
The nurse shook her head, "What competition? There was an eighteen-car pileup on the nearby national highway, and the injured and deceased have all been sent to the hospital. The emergency room is already overcrowded with patients. These patients don’t show external injuries but are unconscious, and there are many seriously injured patients being treated in the emergency room."
They were also bewildered.
Originally, today was for the competition, but now an unexpected incident had occurred.
Everything was in chaos now.
Their hospital was the closest to the accident, and all the emergency patients had been sent there.
Bai Xiao and his team looked solemn.
No one expected to encounter such a situation.
"Do you need us to arrange personnel to help in the emergency room? We are all certified professionals." At this time, it wasn’t about the competition; they automatically set it aside.
The nurse smiled, "No need! A team is already in the emergency room! All the other four teams are there helping, you can stay here, or you can also help in the surgery room, as all the surgery rooms have been opened now."
They didn’t expect that there would be so many people available to help this time.
Considering the current overcrowded situation in the emergency room, they were all a bit stunned.
Bai Xiao understood.
The MRI room opened again, "The patient is comatose, vomiting, reflexes have disappeared, indicating possible brain injury, and the MRI results will be available in three minutes, we recommend transferring to the operating room for standby, and sending the examination results immediately."
Bai Xiao and the team understood the nature of the car accident; it could be either internal organ injuries or brain damage, and it seemed this patient was affected.
Bai Xiao organized his team; brain surgery was nothing difficult for her, and she led the team to push the patient to the surgery room.
Two nurses accompanied them.
When they reached the fifth floor, they saw that all the doors to the surgery room were closed.
The surgery lights were already on.
"The patient’s vital signs are starting to change, with a rapid slowing of the pulse, blood pressure dropping, and weakened breathing, initially estimating severe injury. The patient is still comatose and vomiting." Bai Xiao checked the patient’s pupils while recounting the condition; the patient hadn’t woken up since the car accident.
It seemed the situation was very serious.
Qi Yuqing came running up with the MRI scans, panting, the elevator was too crowded, so she had taken the stairs, covered in sweat, and handed the scans to Bai Xiao and the other doctors.
"The damage is very severe, with serious intracranial hemorrhage, elevated intracranial pressure, and also spleen rupture, mild liver damage, severe internal bleeding, and the patient is pregnant, if I’m not mistaken, at least seven to eight months, it must be operated on immediately, otherwise, it’s life-threatening. Requesting consultation from your surgery, obstetrics, and neurosurgery departments, as two, if not three surgeries need to be performed simultaneously, otherwise the patient won’t make it."
Bai Xiao glanced at the scans and handed them to the other doctors, her special ability had already scanned the patient’s body, revealing more details than the MRI scans.
This patient’s condition was extremely critical.
After everyone looked at the scans, they felt a chill in their hearts.
The patient’s condition was worse than they had imagined.
The nurse had already called the Head of Surgery and the Dean.
Three minutes later! A large group of experts arrived.
The arrivals were familiar faces, Gu Yangzhi leading the Alishan Delegation among them, along with Smith and the hospital’s Dean, Head of Surgery, all were present.
Their faces looked grim.
The patients arriving today were each in worse condition than the last, with almost no repeats, and each one was a critical patient whose life was threatened without immediate intervention.
