Chapter 317: Don't Mind Him, Look at the Quiet One First

"Ahhhhh~~~"

The female Patient let out a shrill scream.

She seemed to have suffered trauma to her lower limbs; she couldn't even stand steadily, leaning her whole body against the wall, using her right upper back to support herself as she slowly squatted down.

Yet she didn't manage to squat down either, getting stuck halfway; the half-squatting posture was very strange.

While wailing like a ghost, she maintained her original position, not daring to move, as if moving would cost her her life.

The man hurriedly went to support her.

But not knowing where he touched her, the woman cursed like a madwoman, giving the man a fright; he had no idea what had happened.

Ji Xiang was speechless, and Lu Kai was also stunned.

"Fix it first." Shen Ke, unfazed, asked the Nurse for a Clavicle Strap to stabilize the woman first.

Although the woman was fierce toward her boyfriend, she did not curse at Shen Ke; even though the pain was the same, her will to survive made her force herself to endure it.

Shen Ke first arranged a hospital bed, then wrote an admission slip for the man to go handle the admission procedures.

Since there would be emergency surgery after the admission procedures were finished, Shen Ke didn't stand on ceremony upon returning to the office, seizing the time to order food on the app.

Going into surgery on an empty stomach didn't matter, but the key was not knowing if the ward would receive more emergencies while performing surgery; filling one's stomach first was also a major matter.

"Shen Ke, this is what you meant by 'reading faces,' right?" Lu Kai lowered his voice and said, "I think that woman is quite unreasonable, and it's just a Clavicle Fracture, a minor ailment, yet she acts like she's dying..."

"Shut up, how can you talk about a Patient like that." Shen Ke reprimanded him sternly, "This doesn't count; a fracture is a physical injury, it's normal to be a bit delicate."

"Doesn't count? I think she's quite unreasonable."

Ji Xiang felt that Lu Kai was right.

Just now, when the man went to support the Patient, he clearly supported her right side, yet the woman cursed in that strange posture.

A strange temper, quick to ignite—these labels had already been stamped on the Patient in Ji Xiang's heart.

However, his mind stirred, and he focused his spirit to enter the System Space.

"Teacher." Ji Xiang respectfully greeted the System NPC and explained his situation.

"Oh, a Clavicle Fracture; although it's a minor ailment, it's quite uncomfortable. Everyone's tolerance for pain is different; do you want to try it?" the System NPC asked.

A fracture—this kind of Empathy would definitely not leave Ji Xiang with lingering fears like the penile cancer resection surgery.

Ji Xiang's purpose in coming was to try it out, because he really didn't understand the female Patient's actions.

He nodded, "Okay."

The System NPC took Ji Xiang to the next Operating Room; light and shadow flickered, and before Ji Xiang could open his eyes, a tearing, excruciating pain came from his left shoulder.

A chill came from beneath him, and Ji Xiang quickly recalled that he had been in a car accident and was lying on the ground.

A passerby had already called for an Emergency Vehicle, and the sound of the Emergency Vehicle in the distance tore through the night sky.

Lying on the road with a sharp pain in his left shoulder, Ji Xiang discovered his body was hunched, curled into a strange posture.

He tried to move a little, but he was curled up like a big shrimp, looking as delicate as could be. He wanted to be a little less pathetic, so as not to be a laughingstock to others.

But at the slightest movement, his left shoulder felt as if it were being cut by a chainsaw; in an instant, Ji Xiang felt as if he had been cut in two without realizing it.

"Ah~~~" Ji Xiang couldn't hold back and let out a scream.

Ji Xiang had previously experienced the pain of Urological Calculus, but there was an essential difference between these two types of pain, at least in Ji Xiang's perception.

The pain of the urinary system was also heart-wrenching, but there was always a posture that could alleviate the pain a little.

Yet the pain of a Clavicle Fracture was "harder"; the forced position to alleviate the pain had only an extremely small "angle," and the slightest change would cause the broken bone ends to scrape against the flesh and blood inside the body.

It really was like a dagger twisting back and forth inside the body; that sour, stinging sensation was indescribable.

Xu Leyu called it a physical injury; this word "physical" was indeed very apt.

Ji Xiang instantly recalled his evaluation of the female Patient and felt a little ashamed.

The emergency Doctor arrived, and Ji Xiang felt that he was finally saved. Although it was only Empathy, that pain of a dagger twisting in flesh and blood was very real; Ji Xiang just wanted to hurry up and have the surgery.

But!

The emergency Doctor ran over, took one look at Ji Xiang, heard him screaming, and saw his posture, then turned and left, "Don't worry about him first, look at the others."

"Send me to the hospital!" Ji Xiang shouted loudly.

The sound seemed to irritate the broken bone ends in his body, causing the broken bone to gently twist in the flesh and blood; pain +1.

"Should be fine, measure the one who isn't talking first!" the emergency Doctor roared.

"..." Ji Xiang fell into despair.

He had heard Meng Qingfei say that the Patients who made the most noise in the Emergency Department didn't need to be worried about at all; generally speaking, they were fine.

But Patients huddled in corners with listless expressions needed to be checked immediately to see if there was a problem.

Indeed... he was just a Clavicle Fracture; compared to other critical emergency Patients, he really couldn't compare.

But he was really in so much pain.

Ji Xiang kept crying out in pain; he had already thrown his masculine pride aside—crying out made the pain feel a little better.

After a while, an emergency Nurse very roughly measured Ji Xiang's blood pressure; it was stable, nothing was wrong, so she threw him aside and ignored him.

The emergency Doctor directed the stretcher-bearers and passersby to lift a silent Patient onto a stretcher and place them on the bed of the Emergency Vehicle. But the situation was urgent, and there was another Patient with Hemorrhagic Shock.

The second Patient could only lie on the ground.

However, they could all be sent to the hospital immediately.

As for Ji Xiang... lying on the ground, ignored by everyone.

Ji Xiang also knew that it was better to be less embarrassing at this time; from a doctor's perspective, unless three or five Emergency Vehicles arrived at once, he wouldn't be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

But three or five Emergency Vehicles... better not dream about it.

Lying quietly on the ground, Ji Xiang tried hard to find a relatively comfortable position to wait for the next wave of Emergency Vehicles.

The siren of the Emergency Vehicle faded into the distance, and Ji Xiang felt empty inside, a sense of being abandoned.

"Young man, how are you?" A passerby gathered the courage to come over and ask.

"I think I have a fracture," Ji Xiang said in a low voice while lying on the ground.

"Are you alright?" a passerby leaned in, "How about I help you up and take you to the hospital?"

Ji Xiang wanted to say yes, but suddenly a research paper flashed before his eyes—A Retrospective Analysis of a Case of Clavicular Fracture Complicated by Subclavian Arteriovenous Injury and Rupture.

The Patient in that case had their subclavian vein punctured and it took 9 hours of emergency treatment to save them.

Must not move around, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

"No need, I'll wait for the Emergency Vehicle," Ji Xiang tried to grin to give the kind passerby a smile, but it looked worse than crying, "Could you please help me make a call to the Emergency Center?"
