Chapter 601: A Series Of Traffic Accidents On The Highway
Zheng Ren was entranced by the scene and felt that everything was really beautiful.
However, his phone suddenly rang at that moment.
Zheng Ren was shocked and pulled back into reality.
“Hello!” Zheng Ren picked up the phone.
“Okay, I’ll be there soon!” With that, he hung up the call and shouted at his colleagues and friends who were enjoying the warmth and joy of the moment. “A series of traffic accidents have occurred on a major highway. We need to head back now!”
“Zheng Ren, Su Yun, take my car.” Xie Yiren handed the violin to the professor. While she spoke, she glanced at Chu Yanran and Chu Yanzhi.
Chu Yanran silently stood beside Xie Yiren.
“I’ve installed anti-skid chains for the tires so it’ll be faster,” Xie Yiren said.
Zheng Ren walked over and held Xie Yiren’s frozen little hand before he strode out of the snow.
The red down jacket was like a dancing flame and a blooming flower. It danced freely in the snow with the melody of youth.
“Boss, why were you called?” Su Yun asked lazily.
It was obvious that the Imperial Capital had sent four chief resident-level doctors. That meant that they would not need to call Zheng Ren first anymore.
Su Yun guessed that the nurses in the emergency department might not be used to the situation, so just called Zheng Ren directly whenever there was an emergency.
“It’s from Old Chief Physician Pan.” Zheng Ren held Xie Yiren’s hand tightly and strode forward. His deep voice sounded a little empty in the lonely, snowy night. “The highway is near Sea City. More than twenty cars crashed into each other.”
The romantic and quiet snow had now become the culprit of a major car accident.
Su Yun sighed. He only hoped that the car owners had not driven too fast when it snowed so the injuries were minor.
Otherwise, they would really have to stay up all night.
To bid farewell to Sea City in this way... Zheng Ren did not want to and neither did Su Yun.
After getting into the red Volvo XC60, Little Yiren started it. She exhaled into her palm and rubbed it hard a few times.
“Are you alright?” Zheng Ren asked with concern.
“I’m fine.”
“Tsk...”
Su Yun expressed his disdain for Zheng Ren’s solicitude in the back row.
The road was very empty. Xie Yiren drove to 60 miles per hour. In the snow, this speed was considered as fast as lightning.
After the anti-skid chain was installed, the car was a little bumpy but the brakes were obviously much more agile.
It was also the reason why she dared to drive at 60 miles per hour and why she wanted to find a group of people who wanted to go back first.
No one said anything. The joy from just now was all gone.
During that time, the emergency medical treatment was lingering in everyone’s mind. Even Su Yun, who had always been careless, silently hoped that there would not be any critical illnesses or injuries.
It had nothing to do with treating patients as if they were family. It was just a simple feeling of regret. They had to remember the peace they felt from earlier.
The Red Volvo sped back to Sea City General Hospital.
The anti-skid chain and the wide and thick snow tires braked, creating friction in the snow and stopping the Volvo at the emergency building’s entrance.
“I’ll go to the operating theater. Let me know if there’s a surgery,” Xie Yiren said.
Zheng Ren made an ‘okay’ sign with his hand and jumped out of the car in silence.
The two of them quickly arrived at the emergency department. Seeing that the corridor was empty, they knew that the first-aid ambulance had not arrived yet. There was some calm before the storm.
Chief Wang Liren had just gotten out of bed. He looked quite energetic but his hair was in a mess. His hair which looked like a chicken nest gave him away.
“What’s the situation?” Zheng Ren asked.
Wang Liren did not expect Zheng Ren to rush over. According to the usual procedure, Zheng Ren and he had completed the work handover. The emergency treatment at Sea City General Hospital had nothing to do with him.
However, Wang Liren was not happy.
He had not expected to encounter such a serious emergency when he had just arrived at Sea City.
“Just now, the medical administration division called. They said that there were a series of car collisions on the highway. The latest... They said that there were more than thirty cars involved in the incident,” Wang Liren said.
The wind and snow were strong, blocking their vision.
The speed of cars on the highway was already fast. No matter how slow they tried to go, they had to go at a speed of at least 60 to 70 miles per hour.
Even in this kind of weather, there were still some hotheads who dared to step above 100 miles per hour. If the car in front crashed, the car in the back would have no time to react and crash into it head-on.
Even if the car stopped on its own, it would not be able to stop the car in the back from crashing into its rear.
No one would be able to react in time and step on the breaks fast enough. That was normal.
The most frightening thing was subconsciously turning the steering wheel.
The expressway was the same as Lover’s Lane in the center of Sea City. When it snowed, it would be covered by traffic. However, it was busier than Lover’s Lane.
If the direction was changed, the traffic would most likely turn over.
On the contrary, if they did not speed, the situation would be better.
There would be more and more traffic at the scene of the accident. It would not get better until the traffic police came to implement traffic control.
It would take a very long time for road rescue in this kind of ice and snow.
Even the first-aid ambulance from Sea City General Hospital arrived late. The matter depended on the response speed of the ambulance from nearby small hospitals.
If there were seriously injured people, whether or not they could make it to the hospital alive was dependent on their willpower and how long it took them to get back.
“How long has it been since the accident?”
“Two hours.”
Zheng Ren was silent.
“The first-aid ambulance of Yuandian County Hospital took two seriously injured people. They didn’t dare to take the rest of them to Yuandian County Hospital so they came directly to Sea City. They got off the highway and started to contact the hospital before they notified us,” Wang Liren said.
“Have the departments in the hospital been notified?”
“Old Chief Physician Pan was afraid that I was unfamiliar with this place, so he has already notified all of them.” Wang Liren grinned.
He was indeed the chief resident of a major hospital, so he did things very methodically. Zheng Ren nodded and listened carefully. He could vaguely hear the sound of the first-aid ambulance in the distance.
The sound was hidden in the wind and snow. Even Zheng Ren, who had been strengthened by the System, was not sure if he had heard wrongly or not.
Within that moment, Old Chief Physician Pan and the other three chief residents arrived one after another. The chief resident of the other departments, which were mainly those from general surgery, thoracic surgery, extracranial surgery, and extracranial surgery, also rushed over.
The entire hospital knew that the Imperial Capital Hospital had sent people over to support their joint venture.
The chief residents rushed over and exchanged a few polite words with the newly arrived chief resident of the Emergency Department, getting to know one another. After all, they were going to work together in the future so there was nothing wrong with getting familiar with each other.
“Chief Zhou, you stay here and keep watch. If there are any patients that need your care, you can bring them back,” Old Chief Physician Pan said one by one while he was treating their current patients.
He had a straight face on, his square jawline making him seem quite imposing.
The emergency department had yet to carry out an orthopedic surgery. They did not even have the medical supplies to make casts or put on splints. Everyone knew that.
“Yes, I’ve informed the frontline doctor. He brought another one from home.” Although Chief Zhou was a bit timid, he was not fazed about the emergency treatment.
“Where’s the department chief?”
“His home is close. He needs a call for surgery. He arrived before we finished the list.”
“Chief Meng, how are things on your end?”
“Chief Sun is in the ward looking after his grandson. If there’s a surgery, he’ll head straight there,” said Chief Meng.
He stole a glance at Zheng Ren and thought to himself, ‘Do we still need to perform general surgery? You guys should be able to handle the emergency ward, right?’
It was the same for the other departments. All the necessary preparations had been completed.
The shrill sound of the first-aid ambulance could be heard from afar. At the same time, Chief Zhou of the internal medical affairs department walked in, covered in snow.
