The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219: A False Alarm Is Also Good

(Thanks to chunyi for the monthly ticket encouragement)

"Teacher Liu, we also checked during intubation, and the patient’s throat wasn’t damaged?"

Xu Yino asked with a frown.

"That’s why we need to use the fibrolaryngoscope, it allows us to see more clearly." Liu Banxia said.

"Did you think of something, Teacher Liu?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"I’m just pondering, if these symptoms aren’t caused by a virus or bacteria, could it be toxic gas?" Liu Banxia said.

"Think about it, the onset of symptoms is not specific to any gender or age group, meaning it’s not targeting any specific demographic, regardless of the cause."

"I just asked that patient, this group of people has been together, hiding from smoke while running. This means they spend a lot of time upwind, right?"

"If during that time, toxic gas drifted over and they inhaled it, wouldn’t it cause the current symptoms?"

"Only a toxin or virus strong enough could make symptoms develop so quickly. If such a virus did spread among them, others would likely not be spared either."

"Director Liu, the fibrolaryngoscope is here."

At this moment, Chen Xuehai ran over.

Liu Banxia took the fibrolaryngoscope and went straight to one of the patients, administering medication before examining.

"You can see the symptoms of epithelial cell shedding, and it’s a significant amount."

After observing for a while, Liu Banxia said.

"Combined with symptoms like atelectasis and pulmonary edema, it suggests respiratory tract burns. Currently, because of respiratory tract damage, the air is trapped in the lungs. So how do we proceed?"

"Press on the lungs to expel the air."

Xu Yino shouted.

"Be careful when pressing, and listen closely, there will be a wheezing sound." Liu Banxia nodded with a smile.

After saying that, he directly pressed on the patient’s lungs.

In about four to five seconds, everyone heard a very clear wheezing sound from the patient.

"OK, that’s about it. Continue with humidified oxygen, and administer one more unit of methylprednisolone. The ventilator can gradually be removed, everyone get moving, it’s not a contagious disease." Liu Banxia clapped his hands.

Ding! Is it a contagious disease? Task completed.

Gained 300 experience points, Glory Points +30.

This task is rated as Flawless, earning 300 experience points, Glory Points 4 points +30.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up to level 64, 249115/256750, gaining 1 attribute point, Glory Points 5.

Every patient was treated this way, as long as the air was expelled and their lungs’ breathing function was restored, they could breathe independently.

Next, treatment can focus on the respiratory tract burns, which is quite simple.

After all the patients were treated, Liu Banxia glanced at Chen Xuehai’s team, then walked over dejectedly.

"Chief Director Zheng, I have to admit my mistake. Because I falsely reported the situation, everyone got unnecessarily nervous, causing such a big commotion." Liu Banxia said.

Zheng Huiling chuckled, "Isn’t a false alarm a good outcome? I think it’s better than it being some serious contagious disease, isn’t it?"

"You guys finish up here. We need to go check for the cause of the toxic gas leak. There might be other patients, this is genuinely dangerous."

With that, Zheng Huiling and the leaders from the Health Construction Commission left the emergency center directly.

Liu Banxia felt a bit downcast; he really did falsely report the situation this time. Otherwise, the system wouldn’t have only given a Flawless rating as a reward; his inspection wasn’t thorough enough.

"What’s wrong? Still dwelling on the recent mistake?" Chen Xuehai asked while dismantling the isolation area with others.

Liu Banxia nodded, "At the time, I don’t know why I got so heated, didn’t even think it might be respiratory tract burns. Lack of experience, truly embarrassing this time."

"It’s not embarrassing, when so many patients present with respiratory distress at once, anyone’s first thought would be a contagious disease." Chen Xuehai said.

"If you hadn’t called it out, if we hadn’t set up isolation, the consequences would have been severe. Better safe than sorry. If it had been a malignant contagious disease, just think of how many people would be affected."

"Hehe, I found it amusing anyway, it’s the first time I’ve seen Teacher Liu so earnestly admit a mistake." Xu Yino said with a smile.

"Although you’ve admitted mistakes before, this time felt different. Teacher Liu, should we celebrate? Go home tonight and have a good meal, add a dish for us too."

"All you think about is eating. You guys are supposed to be the formidable ’Six Little Ones,’ why didn’t you think of that?" Liu Banxia rolled his eyes.

"Teacher Liu, I think it went well. At least we had a real emergency plan experience, much more intense than a drill." Su Wenhao said.

"Also, I learned a useful trick from you during rescue today, ice packs worked so well, no wonder our emergency center keeps them in stock."

"Seems like you’re okay now? Figured it all out?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

Su Wenhao nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I’ve thought it through, I always blame myself for being useless. Regardless of whether there was any improper operation, I should focus on the next patient."

"If I encounter similar patients in the future, I will definitely increase the frequency of check-ups. I’ll strive to ensure that what happened to that patient doesn’t occur again."

"That’s right, thinking this way is correct." Liu Banxia said.

"Making mistakes isn’t always a scary thing, because through mistakes, we learn what the right way to operate is. And your operation today doesn’t even involve any mistakes, it was a routine operation."

"Haven’t I made mistakes too? Next time I’ll just pay more attention. Initially giving a comprehensive check-up, I was actually a bit flustered and then concluded it was some infectious disease."

"By the way, the first patient and the one with pulmonary edema are in a serious condition, let’s send them to the ICU first; the care here is still lacking a bit."

"They’ve already been sent over, tell me, how did you manage to do a blind intubation?" Chen Xuehai asked.

"Actually, it wasn’t much, I just carefully felt the vibration of the tracheal ring, and then I could find the position." Liu Banxia casually remarked.

People nearby collectively rolled their eyes, this guy definitely has a knack for getting on people’s nerves.

If it were healthy people, the vibration of the tracheal ring would be more prominent. Given the patient’s condition at the time, the vibration must have been very faint.

No wonder he closed his eyes when intubating, relying on the feel of his hands.

It’s truly a unique skill, but not one that an average person can learn.

A false alarm can also bring joy to everyone, anyway, we’re all in a pretty good mood right now.

Actually, many times it’s about perspective, like Zheng Huiling said, a false alarm is the best outcome.

It’s just like treating a disease, Liu Banxia’s approach today was the most appropriate.

If he hadn’t conducted an emergency quarantine, if this had really been an outbreak of some malignant infectious disease, the consequences would have been terrifying.

"I heard you even treated the plan as a real battle and went through it?"

At this moment, Zhou Shuwen also walked out of the elevator.

"Director, you heard too." Liu Banxia said a bit embarrassed.

"With something so big, if it wasn’t for the work I couldn’t put down, I would have come down long ago." Zhou Shuwen said with a smile.

"Not bad, it’s also a rare opportunity. Otherwise, it always feels like you’re somewhat perfunctory during drills, keep it up and keep striving forward."

"Director, just now Banxia was admitting his mistake obediently." Chen Xuehai teased.

"Tsk tsk."

Zhou Shuwen shook his head, said nothing, and returned to his office.

Leaving Liu Banxia a bit distressed.

"Hahaha, Teacher Liu, how long do you think this matter will take to pass?" Xu Yino said, smiling, and reached out her hand.

"Show some ambition, will you?"

Liu Banxia, speaking tough, also handed over his meal card.

Xu Yino didn’t care about anything else, her greatest joy was robbing Liu Banxia’s meal card.

It’s not like she gorged every time she got it, it was just normal meals, but those meals just tasted better.

"Sigh... after working so hard for half a day, I’ve worked up a sweat. After going home tonight, I’ll have a big meal and then sleep well." Liu Banxia said.

"Your two little babies don’t make a fuss at night?" Chen Xuehai asked curiously.

"How is that possible? But Qiaoqiao lets me sleep alone so I can rest better, she takes care of them at night." Liu Banxia said.

"Won’t they be less fussy when they’re a bit older? They’re only quiet when they’re full. They really like milk formula now, they must drink until they’re stuffed to be satisfied."

"Hahaha, that’s not bad either, in fact, milk formula is really good." Chen Xuehai said with a smile.

"Just hold on for a few more months, when they’re crawling all over the place it’s much more fun, they’ll chatter with you. Even if you don’t understand, you’ll love to listen to them talk."

"But Qiaoqiao’s support for you is really immense, you should really make it up to her when you have time. Raising kids isn’t easy, it’s really tiring."

Liu Banxia nodded, "She can catch up on some sleep during the day now, my mom, as well as Qing Kewa, and her friends can all help take care of them."

"Banxia, we found out. A small hazardous materials truck had stopped near them for half an hour, carrying empty chlorine gas cylinders, one of which leaked." Zheng Huiling returned to the emergency center at this time.

"Thank heavens, were there any other injuries?" Liu Banxia asked.

"The driver inhaled a bit too, but it’s not a big issue." Zheng Huiling replied.

That was the best news after all.

If the driver had stayed there longer, and more chlorine gas had leaked, the situation for these people would have been indescribably worse.
