Chapter 898: [898] A group of people went to the county hospital Chapter 898: [898] A group of people went to the county hospital âSaying this,â Grandma Wengui trembled with worry, aware that this relative was rumored to be mentally ill, someone who could kill without consequence.
Hearing this, Nie Jiamin listened all the way, and when he heard this part, he understood some of what the elderly were saying, his eyebrows furrowing as he told his student, âCall the police!â
It was possible to call the police, but the teacher might not be aware, being from abroad, that in such places, waiting for the police could take an eternity. There was no other choice; the nearest police station was too far, and distant waters wonât quench near fires.
Who could have predicted the current situation, with a family member of a patient who seemed to be mentally ill appearing so suddenly?
Fortunately, aside from the diminishing sound of the rain, the toot toot of car engines, someone had arrived.
Two cars gradually approached Wenguiâs home. One was an ambulance from the county hospital; the other, a minibus carrying the old village chief and two village officials.
âAt last, people have come.â Grandma Wengui went over and grabbed her grandsonâs hand, her tears streaming as she felt that there was hope for her family.
Wengui, who was helping the doctors with IV drips, nodded at his grandmother, tears welling up in his eyes: at last, his mother and sister could go to the hospital.
The county hospitalâs doctors and the old village chief walked into the house together.
Seeing that quite a few people had arrived, Dahui, who was looking to hit someone, became apprehensive and backed into a corner.
No one paid attention to what he might do; everyoneâs focus was on the injured.
Xie Wanying spoke on behalf of Teacher Nie and communicated with the doctors from the county hospital: âThis childâs injuries are severe. He needs to be put into the ambulance immediately. The preliminary diagnosis is a ruptured spleen.â
The county hospitalâs doctor asked them about their identities: âWho are you?â
âThey are Guoxie doctors. Today they came to Shier Zhuang for a free clinic, and on the way, they were brought here by them,â The old village chief, who had learned some of what had happened over the phone, told the people from the county hospital. Precisely because of this, the village officials didnât dare take this matter lightly and hurriedly arranged for a vehicle to come over, actually wanting to get acquainted with the big doctors from the Capital.
Learning they were Guoxie doctors, the county hospitalâs doctors had no reason to doubt, and they said to both of them, âPlease come with the ambulance to the hospital. Iâm afraid our hospitalâs surgeons wonât be able to handle this childâs case; our hospital doesnât have a pediatric surgery department.â
Nie Jiamin agreed to their request, otherwise, their previous emergency treatment would have been in vain.
The child was put into the ambulance, and the childâs mother got into the minivan brought by the village chief, both heading for the county hospital. The county hospitalâs doctor gave up his place in the ambulance to Xie Wanying and the other, opting instead to ride in the minivan to escort the childâs mother.
Wengui and his mother went in the minivan, leaving Grandma Wengui at home.
With everything arranged, the personnel were in place. Those carrying the patient did so, those who needed to grab items did so. Xie Wanying told Teacher Nie to get on the ambulance first, and she quickly packed up the medical kit on-site to take with her.
When she picked up the box and walked out the door, a woman, who was carrying a small child, ran up to her.
âMy husband said he was looking for a doctor, but we had no idea where they went. Is there a doctor here? My son is hurt!â the woman called out loudly.
The woman who had arrived was none other than Dahuiâs Wife.
Hearing his wifeâs voice, Dahui came out of the house.
Dahuiâs Wife thrust their son at him, complaining, âIâm exhausted, where did the doctor go?â
The doctors, along with Wenguiâs familyâs patient, had gone to the ambulance.
âThereâs an ambulance, get on,â she urged her husband, turning her head as she saw the ambulance.
Dahui, carrying the child and accompanied by his wife, stopped in front of the ambulance, insisting that the three of them squeeze onto the ambulance together.
