Free Web NovelChapter 590: Chapter 270: The Stubborn Pseudo-Professor, Turning the Tide (2)
"Wearing an oxygen mask is useless; it seems her breathing is suppressed!"
The middle-aged male doctor leading the rescue team made a preliminary diagnosis after examining her.
Wei Xianxian stood nearby, his face already pale, looking like an idiot, unable to do anything.
He was just a drifter struggling abroad until Doctor Xu took him in and taught him the bone-setting technique. Later, after making some money, he colluded with the local judge to find a way to upgrade his academic credentials.
Who knows how he obtained a professor’s title.
In these times, there are two kinds of professors: genuine professors and those who are no more than charlatans masquerading as experts.
Wei Xianxian is almost an outsider when it comes to such advanced clinical rescue knowledge. Charlatan, charlatan, charlatan.
Aside from standing there blankly, he had no other solution.
"They said not to show off if you don’t have the capability! Now there’s trouble, and it’s no small error."
Truly quack doctors victimizing people!
They warned of trouble, but no one listened.
If Wei Xianxian had given up the final championship contention, he might have secured second place, or even remained in first.
Now, after treating someone to this state, it counts as a medical accident.
He’s likely to be cast aside.
The rescue team was performing a series of resuscitation efforts on the patient, but progress was minimal.
The patient’s condition was deteriorating.
They were preparing to transfer the patient to Qiaobang Hospital’s emergency room for further rescue.
Everyone knew they were merely doing their best and leaving the rest to fate.
The probability of the patient’s death was very high.
"Wait! The patient is showing respiratory suppression likely caused by excessive force in Professor Wei’s massage, damaging the spinal nerve’s respiratory function. Even intubation may not work."
Li Jingsheng stepped forward.
If he hadn’t promised Doctor Xu to bring honor to the Second Hospital’s bone-setting technique and make a name for himself, he wouldn’t have involved himself in this troublesome situation.
Taking over this patient at this time carried extreme risks.
"Do you have a solution?"
The leading doctor of the rescue team knew that although Li Jingsheng looked young, he was very capable.
In the first round of the hematological disease diagnosis competition, Li Jingsheng had taken first place.
Now he was advancing to the final decisive stage.
"If I had stepped in before Professor Wei’s treatment, I would have had a high chance of curing this patient. Now that he has worsened the patient’s condition, I can only do my best to resuscitate, and I can’t say how confident I am. Given the patient’s current state, no doctor would dare claim certainty in saving them."
Li Jingsheng truly wasn’t trying to smear Wei Xianxian.
It was simply the truth.
Hospitals dread experienced doctors who overestimate their skills and rush to show off before superiors.
In the end, it’s the patients who suffer.
Despite this, young doctors can’t stop it.
Hospital regulations grant all command authority to higher-ranking doctors.
A furious Wei Xianxian’s mouth twisted, his teeth grinding audibly.
"Let Dr. Li try."
A voice spoke up; it was an elderly man over sixty.
He still had a robust presence.
Li Jingsheng didn’t know him, only that he was a leader among the judges.
Anyone sitting on the judges’ panel held significant status.
They were either officials from supervisory departments or luminaries of Jiangli City’s medical community.
"Dr. Li, please!"
The leading male doctor of the rescue team gestured for him to proceed.
Everyone’s greatest hope was to save the patient.
The judges were likely already contemplating how to deal with Wei Xianxian. With no ability, why show off?
Now, with such a significant medical accident, the entire skill competition was tainted, and handling the aftermath would be very tricky.
So many reporters broadcasting live.
A contestant on stage, in front of everyone, ended up worsening the patient, with the event organizers being the first to face questioning.
Where were your safety measures?
"You murderer, give my dad back his life!"
"Quack!"
"If you weren’t skilled, why did you touch my dad? A quack like you deserves to be executed."
Four or five family members angrily rushed onto the stage, wanting to hit Wei Xianxian.
But one of the patient’s sons was swiftly subdued by Wei Xianxian, cleanly and decisively, clearly trained in combat and martial arts.
No wonder Doctor Xu couldn’t beat Wei Xianxian.
Security quickly stepped in to separate both parties, but everyone had witnessed Wei Xianxian’s ferocity in hitting the family member.
His wish to gain fame through this competition was realized.
Except it wasn’t fame but infamy.
Even Jiupeng International Hospital would be marred by this, significantly damaging their image.
Li Jingsheng was grave-faced, palpating the patient’s bones.
He knew that to save the patient, he had to elevate the massage technique of the bone-setting skill to a higher level.
The one who ties the bell must untie it.
The patient’s spinal nerve had suffered a torsion injury, unnoticed during the adjustment by the old lady. Thus, the symptoms of high paraplegia persisted after the adjustment.
Wei Xianxian’s bone-setting skills were top-notch; he should have detected the problem. However, his massage technique didn’t meet that top standard, exacerbating the spinal nerve damage and triggering a crisis.
Before entering the competition, Li Jingsheng had 481 life points remaining.
Having just treated several patients, he earned quite a bit of bonus life points. The most impressive was receiving that gold trophy and honorary certificate, granting him an additional 500 life points.
This was equivalent to five times the value of receiving a pennant.
At this moment, his life points balance was as high as 1249 points.
