Thud, thud, thud, accompanied by a nurse, she ran back to the first class from the economy class, grabbed a spare oxygen mask and oxygen bag and ran back to the economy class. Watching the nurse run back and forth, it seemed the patientâs condition in the economy class was serious. Shang Silingâs heart was once again in suspense, not worried about her husbandâs health, but a bit concerned that the plane might need to land midway.
"Trust Yingying." Feeling a bit more comfortable, Xiao Shugang appeared more and more confident and steady.
Shang Siling tightly held her husbandâs hand.
"Is the plane going to land? Didnât they say sheâs not a doctor and canât treat people?" The passengers in the economy class, seeing the nurse coming with the oxygen bag, were eager to express their opinions.
Each one was afraid that the medical student would mess up.
Lu Xin brought the oxygen bag to the patient, and Xie Wanying gestured with her hand, saying, "She doesnât need the oxygen for now."
The flight attendant standing by was stunned. They were ready to assist in saving the patient, only to be told not to use the oxygen bag theyâd brought.
"What are you saying, what are you trying to do?" Mother Leilei pointed at Xie Wanying, questioning why the oxygen wasnât being used for her daughter.
An only child is the most precious treasure of the family, and this mother couldnât accept even a minor issue with her daughterâs illness. Ding Lulu narrowed her eyes, thinking this young medical student was inexperienced and about to have a problem as she thought. Thatâs why she didnât come out to help before, which was right.
Treating a child in front of parents requires utmost care to avoid the familyâs emotions from becoming unstable. Xie Wanying maintained a calm tone while communicating with the family, "This is her first time on a plane, isnât it?"
"My daughter, she, sheâ" Mother Leileiâs high emotions were extinguished midway, her words stuck in her throat, and two surprised looks fell onto Xie Wanyingâs young face. She was probably wondering how this person knew the situation she hadnât mentioned.
The doctorâs judgment comes from the patientâs symptoms, Xie Wanying informed the family, "She has hyperventilation syndrome."
"Hyperventilation syndrome?" Mother Leilei stuttered, repeating the professional term Xie Wanying mentioned.
The other passengers, seeing Mother Leileiâs reactions, were shocked.
"She guessed right. Itâs indeed their first time flying."
Ding Lulu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly checking Mother Leileiâs expression again with others.
Mother Leileiâs face was written with a huge embarrassment.
To save time, it was the first time she took her daughter on a plane, previously they only traveled by train. The most direct reason was the familyâs improved finances, allowing them to afford a plane.
"My daughter said she had a stomach ache, is this hyperventilation syndrome a stomach ache problem?" Mother Leilei asked Xie Wanying with suppressed anger.
"Itâs not a stomach ache," Xie Wanying said.
"She clearly said she had a stomach ache," Mother Leilei raised her voice.
While patiently explaining to the family, Xie Wanying placed her hand on the patientâs shoulder, her words mostly for the patient to hear: "I gave her a simple abdominal examination and found that her abdomen isnât truly in pain. She feels chest tightness, uncomfortable, feeling she canât breathe, so she breathes desperately."
The patient is surely more concerned about her own body than the family. Despite her weakness, she listens more intently to every word the doctor says than anyone else. A doctorâs professional explanation can provide the greatest reassurance to the patient.
Leilei listened to the medical student older sister speaking beside her and nodded.
