Chapter 460: After the High, True Bravery! (League Leader's Reluctant Bonus Chapter)

The place was empty.

The Patient was sent to the Intensive Care Unit, and the Emergency Department returned to calm, though no one knew when the next emergency rescue would come.

"Director, will the footage we just recorded pass censorship?" Fan Dao's assistant asked nervously.

That segment just now was too bloody; it might be cut.

But that segment was truly spectacular; looking back now, if it weren't for Doctor Ji Xiang suddenly appearing and solving the problem in an extremely "brutal" way.

Looking back now, it seems there was no other way.

If this segment were edited out, it would be such a, such a, such a, such a pity, so Fan Dao's assistant asked with deep concern.

"I don't know." Fan Dao had the same misgivings, and he pondered, "I'll try my best."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, indicating his stance.

Fan Dao's assistant knew this was an impossible mission, and he sighed, feeling deeply regretful about it.

"Director, let's go back and rest."

"Wait a moment." Fan Dao said after hesitating, "Let's go take a look at the Intensive Care Unit."

"The Intensive Care Unit? They won't let us in, will they?" Fan Dao's assistant reminded him.

"Who said we were going in?" Fan Dao walked with his hands behind his back, glanced at the sign, and headed straight there.

The Camera Crew was still in a semi-excited state, as if they had just watched a restricted-rated blockbuster. Seeing that Fan Dao had no intention of returning to the hotel to rest, they looked at Fan Dao's assistant.

"Let's go take a look together." Fan Dao's assistant said.

Arriving in front of the Intensive Care Unit, Fan Dao had the Camera Crew stay far away, while he himself looked around.

Fan Dao's assistant didn't know what he was doing, but Fan Dao didn't answer after he asked twice.

Half an hour later, several people arrived at the entrance of the Intensive Care Unit with anxious expressions, then the door opened, and a Doctor wearing an isolation gown, mask, and cap came out to explain the condition.

Fan Dao was like a hungry wolf that had found its prey; his eyes emitted a faint light as he leaned in close to listen with his ears pricked up.

The Intensive Care Doctor sternly reprimanded the Family Member; letting a patient slip out to drink alcohol while hospitalized and receiving intravenous cephalosporin Antibiotic was simply unbelievable.

Such a situation could not possibly be solved by medical staff; were patients only allowed to wander the ward corridors during their stay?

Except for special periods, no one would agree to such control.

So it could only be managed by the Family Member.

The Family Member was reprimanded until their face was red, and Fan Dao felt increasingly relieved.

Although the Intensive Care Doctor's tone was stern, he could guess that the Patient's condition had been brought under control, and there was a high possibility the Patient would be transferred out safely.

It might not even take many days; once the Patient passed the stress period of the Disulfiram reaction, they could be transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit.

After learning this, Fan Dao immediately pondered what he should do next.

After reprimanding the Family Member, the Intensive Care Doctor took out a paper; this was the briefing document for the Family Member, which required a signature.

"The Patient's state has stabilized. As of now, if there are no accidents, they can be transferred out tomorrow morning or the morning after. But it's not certain; I'm talking about if there are no accidents."

The Family Member was a bit dazed; was this a case of giving a slap and then a sweet date?

"This is the Family Member informed consent form; sign it. I've already told you the main content just now; here is..."

The Intensive Care Doctor explained it item by item, then had the Family Member sign it, and turned to go back inside.

Seeing that the Family Member was still a bit bewildered, Fan Dao walked over and said loudly, "Hello."

The Family Member glanced at Fan Dao, then noticed the Camera Crew in the distance.

"I am Fan Chengen, the director of *Melody of Heaven* and *China's Good Voice*."

Fan Dao knew he didn't look like a star whose name was a household word, so he first threw out the two programs he was most famous for.

"So it's you!" The Family Member looked on with admiration.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree; although the Family Member didn't know who Fan Chengen was, those two national-level programs were like thunder in their ears, making it hard not to know them.

"Yes, I'm here recording a variety show; it went online last night, you haven't seen it yet, have you?" Fan Dao said with a gentle smile, "Taking care of a patient is very exhausting; you should take care of your own health."

The Family Member felt extremely awkward when this was brought up.

"People, once they crave alcohol, they just can't control themselves." Fan Dao offered the Family Member a ladder to climb down, and his assistant immediately knew what Fan Dao was going to do.

The assistant didn't go up to help speak; in such a situation, Fan Dao needed to do the work bit by bit, and if he went himself, it would have the opposite effect.

Fan Dao and the Family Member chatted more and more happily, and in the end, both sides shook hands and said goodbye with joy.

When Fan Dao returned, the assistant asked curiously, "Director, what were you talking about?"

"I'll pay a certain amount of the Patient's hospitalization fees; we'll cover the self-pay portion," Fan Dao said. "Then, after the Patient is transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit, they can accept an interview."

"!!!" Fan Dao's assistant was impressed to the point of prostration.

Even if the shot of Ji Xiang inserting a pen tube into the Patient's neck couldn't be broadcast due to being suspected of being "bloody" and "violent," interviewing the Patient, retracing the scene at the time, and adding the memories of other passersby should be able to partially present the original process.

This was the only way out.

"Director, it still takes you to step in!" Fan Dao's assistant said.

"Regardless of whether that shot can be broadcast, interviewing the Patient is a must. Let the Patient personally recount the process of the attack; if that doesn't work, we can piece it together with memories," Fan Dao said firmly. "As for that shot, I'll go find someone to contact."

"Can it pass?" Fan Dao's assistant was full of anticipation.

"Probably not," Fan Dao said. "But... forget it, it's useless to say anything; let's make the contact first."

"Director, this idea is great, and there are still 48 hours."

"I'll go seize the time." Fan Dao thought cautiously.

Ji Xiang's Emergency Rescue in front of the noodle shop was simply too spectacular; if possible, Fan Dao didn't want to give up just like that.

Finding the Patient for an interview was a remedy, and there were other possibilities.

Fan Dao felt better the more he thought about it, but he didn't dare to dream; he took his people back to the hotel and started making contacts.

……

……

"Doctor Ji, what did you get on yourself?"

When Ji Xiang returned to the hotel, Lu Gang and Zhao Zhe were on the first floor with their laptops, drinking coffee. Seeing the blood spots all over Ji Xiang's clothes, Lu Gang asked in confusion.

"I was eating with Yang Zhuren. There was a patient downstairs with a Disulfiram reaction, laryngeal edema, and pulmonary edema, so we performed emergency resuscitation."

"You performed a direct incision with a knife?!" Lu Gang looked at Ji Xiang in astonishment.

"I've seen it done with a knife," Zhao Zhe said. "That year when I was on the 120 ambulance, our Doctor encountered a similar situation. There was only an incision kit on the vehicle, so they opened it directly."

"What about blood blocking the airway?"

"There wasn't much blood; they kept using a suction tube to suck it out. Halfway there, the suction tube stopped working well, so they used their mouth to suck it out. Fortunately, the patient didn't have Hepatitis B, AIDS, or syphilis. I have to say, when Emergency Department doctors get fired up, they are truly brave."
