Chapter 2030: Emergency Measures

"Cao Yong’s wife?"

"What do you mean Cao Yong’s wife, it’s Zhu Huicang’s wife. Cao Yong doesn’t have a wife; he gave his room to Li Xiaobing who needs to be on bed rest for her pregnancy."

Du Haiwei was getting confused by his wife’s words and asked, "Who made the call?"

"Oh right, she knows me, but she called you, who could it be?" Doctor Tang couldn’t recall Xie Wanying’s self-introduction, so she looked at her husband’s phone screen, "Xie Wanying?"

"Give me the phone." Du Haiwei quickly took the phone from his wife’s hand; he knew this student of his was smart. If it had reached the point of calling the teacher for help, the patient’s situation was likely dire.

"I’ll go get your medical kit." Doctor Tang quickly ran to get the medical kit.

In a home with two obstetricians resident, that medical kit might be a little different from other homes.

"Tell me, how is the pregnant woman now?" Du Haiwei inquired to the student on the phone.

Hearing Teacher Du’s voice, Xie Wanying reported, "Patient is in breech position, currently felt as a single buttock presentation."

"Did the pregnant woman rupture her own membranes?"

"Yes, the patient was previously diagnosed with a short cervix."

"So, previously it was predicted there was risk of premature birth." As Du Haiwei collected the student’s information, he contemplated, "How much is the cervix dilated now?"

This needed to be asked to Doctor Song.

Song Xueling looked up and answered, "Five centimeters, almost six."

"Five centimeters?" Du Haiwei questioned, "How long has it been dilated to five centimeters?"

"We discovered her membranes ruptured less than eight minutes ago." Xie Wanying glanced down at her watch, noting every crucial timeline for the patient.

"First-time mother?"

Teacher Du’s thoughts were clear; every question had its significance. The young doctors on site cautiously answered, "Yes."

"For a first-time mother, to reach five centimeters dilation at the first check, with ruptured membranes, she likely hadn’t realized her cervix was already dilated. This is fundamentally not a normal delivery."

Was this considered preterm labor?

No, no, by gestational age it’s not preterm; it’s just an abnormal labor process due to the patient’s inherently short cervix.

"Has the baby’s foot come out?" Du Haiwei asked.

"I estimate yes," Song Xueling replied.

"Push the baby’s foot back into the mother’s body. Block the breech until full dilation." Du Haiwei kept issuing instructions non-stop to the young doctors on site.

Teacher Du, who normally didn’t talk much, was forced to speak rapidly like a machine gun, with ’rat-a-tat-tat.’ The young doctors could only hold their breath and listen, fearing they might miss a word.

According to Teacher Du’s instructions, regardless of whether the next step is to transfer the pregnant woman to the hospital for birth or to deliver at home, emergency measures must be taken now.

Xie Wanying ran like the wind to the kitchen to get the medical kit.

Remembering that Senior Cao had opened the kit for her the last time to apply medicine, it contained sterile gloves. Li Xiaobing had prepared everything she could for her baby.

The medical kit opened, sterile gloves were taken out.

Meanwhile, at his home, Du Haiwei was holding his phone while having his wife help him put on a thick coat to be ready to go out, asking the student, "Who answered my question just now?"

Teacher Du realized on the scene, there was not just her, but another person. Xie Wanying replied, "It was Doctor Song."

"Xiao Song, Song Xueling, right?"

Song Xueling’s mouth spat out one word, "Mm."

It could be heard, Lazy Cat Song was very reluctant to reveal his identity.
