Chapter 75: Light In The Cracks 8
Liu Youcai quickly stepped forward, turned off the shower head, took off his coat, folded it into several layers, and pressed it firmly against the wound to stop the bleeding. He glanced at the time, then spared a little energy to instruct the Dorm Supervisor to call the School Doctor for emergency aid. He himself dialed the emergency number: “Hello, this is L City First Private Middle School, Dormitory Building 2, Room 306. A student has slit her wrists. She was unconscious when found, her breathing is irregular. I’m currently using my coat to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Please send a doctor immediately! I will coordinate with the Security Guard at the school gate and guide the ambulance once it’s on campus. Please hurry! ”
“Location confirmed. The ambulance will arrive within four minutes. Please continue applying pressure to the patient’s wound. Do not release the pressure. ”
“I know, I know. ”
Liu Youcai had just hung up with the Emergency Center when the School Doctor rushed over: “Move slightly so I can check the situation. Don’t release your pressure! ”
Liu Youcai dared not change Lin Yao’s position for fear of causing further problems, so he only held the wound. After the School Doctor arrived, she straightened Lin Yao and laid her flat: “Loss of consciousness, jugular vein collapse showing a furrow-like appearance, cornea not yet showing haziness, bl00d seepage color is disrupted by water flow making judgment difficult. Capillary refill time of three seconds, respiration shows supraclavicular, intercostal, and xiphoid retractions. Initial judgment is that the bl00d loss exceeds 1500ml, meaning this student has been injured for more than 15 minutes. When will the ambulance arrive! ”
“When I called the Emergency Center, they said it would arrive within four minutes. It should be here soon. ”
After Liu Youcai finished his call, the Dorm Supervisor, seeing the School Doctor had arrived, voluntarily made room for her and waited downstairs for the ambulance, guiding the medical personnel.
The ambulance’s two-tone siren approached, and Liu Youcai breathed a slight sigh of relief; the ambulance was arriving quickly.
Although Liu Youcai possessed some first-aid knowledge, he didn’t understand the meaning of the School Doctor’s medical terminology, nor did he understand the concept of 1500ml bl00d loss and bl00d loss exceeding 15 minutes. But seeing the School Doctor pacing anxiously and nervously after hearing the ambulance siren, he knew the situation was likely not optimistic.
When the medical personnel arrived, the School Doctor went aside to brief one of the doctors on Lin Yao’s condition. Liu Youcai checked the time and told the arriving Nurse: “I’ve been applying pressure for 7 minutes. The first-aid knowledge I saw said this situation requires at least ten minutes of pressure. ”
“At this point, pressure to stop bleeding is minimal. When you release your pressure, be careful not to shift the clothing. I will quickly take over where you’ve been holding. ”
The Nurse’s technique was clearly more professional. Even though the wound was covered by a thick coat folded multiple times, her technique felt vastly different.
The Nurse said hesitantly: “Sir, I should let you know beforehand that we may need to cut open your suit. ”
“No problem! Saving this child is more important than anything! ”
The doctor who had finished communicating with the School Doctor asked: “Who’s going with the ambulance? Have you notified the family? The family may need to sign some forms later. ”
Liu Youcai raised his hand to signal that he would accompany the ambulance: “I haven’t had time to call the child’s parents yet. I’ll do it now. ”
Fortunately, he had contacted Su Laidi recently. As he reached for his mobile phone, Liu Youcai saw his bloodstained hands and somewhat understood the Nurse’s earlier comment that pressure was now minimal…
Lin Yao had been placed on a stretcher by the medical personnel and was being prepared to be taken downstairs. Liu Youcai quickly washed the bloodstains from his hands in the washbasin and then took out his mobile phone to contact Lin Yao’s mother, Su Laidi.
Liu Youcai got into the ambulance and didn’t connect with Su Laidi until they reached the hospital on his fourth attempt: “Lin Yao’s Mother, Lin Yao slit her wrists and was admitted to the hospital. She’s at Renai Hospital, the closest to the school. Her condition is not good, and you need to come. ”
Su Laidi felt a moment of panic. The words she wanted to use to inquire further turned into a question: “What’s going on at your school? My daughter pays so much tuition to study at your school every year, and you’ve taught her how to harm herself? ”
Liu Youcai was somewhat stunned by the question. Wasn’t the most important thing the child’s condition? His immediate thought was how to save the child, but the mother’s first reaction was to question why the child slit her wrists. He suddenly understood the child’s despair and helplessness: “Lin Yao’s Mother, please don’t get excited. The school will give you an explanation. Right now, the most important thing is that you come to the hospital immediately. ”
Su Laidi impatiently pulled off the face mask she had only put on a moment ago, feeling a pang of heartache and muttering, “Last time she was hospitalized, it was said that she had a cut on her hand, and nothing happened last time, why this rush this time? ”
Liu Youcai anxiously paced outside the emergency room, while also dealing with the school’s situation. He instructed the Dorm Supervisor to lock Room 306 and not allow the other students who lived there to return to the room after their exams to avoid tampering with the scene. He asked the Security Guard to take them to meet the Principal for questioning.
Such a serious incident having occurred, after instructing the Dorm Supervisor, Liu Youcai had to report to the Principal, as it would be convenient for the Principal to question the students who lived in Room 306 later.
If Lin Yao didn’t make it, this would certainly require a police report. Therefore, the dormitory environment could not be disturbed. But to minimize the impact on the school, he also had a sliver of hope: if Lin Yao woke up and didn’t want to report it, then this matter could be quietly resolved.
At this moment, a Nurse came out of the emergency room: “Has the patient’s family not arrived yet? Ordinary methods to stop bleeding are no longer effective in the rescue. Surgery is required to stop the bleeding, and a vascular anastomosis requires the family’s signature. ”
“They’re on their way, they’re on their way. Please, just hold on a little longer…”
Liu Youcai was very anxious. After Su Laidi hung up, however, she calmly applied makeup: finely sculpted eyebrows, full eyeliner, burgundy lipstick, and chose a moss green, gold-embroidered, form-fitting knee-length dress with a pair of matte olive green high heels, giving an overall impression of strength.
Su Laidi was very pleased with her serious expression in the mirror; she was going to ask the school what kind of explanation they planned to give her, and ask Lin Yao if she was just bored and looking for trouble.
Liu Youcai waited nearly twenty minutes for Su Laidi. Seeing her leisurely manner, he became angry. In those twenty minutes, critical condition notices had been issued three times, but the surgery risk notice requiring a family signature had been waiting without anyone to sign it…
He even asked Lin Yao’s Head Teacher for the contact information for Lin Yao’s father, but until Su Laidi arrived at the hospital, Lin Yao’s father’s phone number had not been reached.
He even doubted whether, if the child died due to a delay in treatment, her family would grieve for her.
