Chapter 133: Doctors Are Only Human, Not Gods

Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli finished dinner and returned to the foot of the hospital building.

"Ah? Let me go tell my mom?" Pei Nanli, having heard Wang Chuan's explanation, furrowed her delicate brows slightly.

Wang Chuan's tone carried a hint of gentle guidance: "She is your mother; it is appropriate for you to tell her. You are also a shareholder of the company. Once this matter is resolved, Yuansheng Group might assign us business. Wouldn't that bring the second project?"

Pei Nanli pressed her lips, thinking for a moment. "Wang Chuan, are you trying to seduce the high school student Xin Chanxi? Using the excuse of bringing new business to our company?"

Wang Chuan stopped, turned to face her directly, his expression unusually serious: "Yes, you are very right! Xin Chanxi, to get my help, even offered her first kiss. She also asked me to be her boyfriend."

Pei Nanli's expression first widened slightly in surprise, then was immediately covered by a layer of obvious disgust. "Wang Chuan, now that you are in your fifth year, your mouth has become quite sharp."

Wang Chuan curled his lips into a meaningful smile, his gaze sweeping over her slightly parted lips. "Would you not know if my mouth is sharp? You are the one who stole my first kiss, after all."

As the words fell, it was as if a thunderclap exploded right beside her ear.

Pei Nanli's long eyelashes trembled violently, her earlobes uncontrollably flushing red. She spoke in thin anger: "Wang Chuan, you are truly shameless! Turning black into white!"

Wang Chuan waved his hand, his tone shifting. He spoke calmly: "I just wanted to find out where Shen Mianshuang's brother, Shen Xiaobing, is. That Lian Zhanhuai knows where her brother is. It seems the two of them went to the same underground casino."

"Didn't Doctor Shen break a bone?" Pei Nanli deliberately turned her face away, not letting Wang Chuan see her expression.

"Yes, she broke a bone, and her brother is missing. I, Li Wei, Luo De, and Wang Jia have been delivering meals to Doctor Shen these past few days."

"If you don't believe me, go ask Doctor Shen. She lives in River Right Community."

After a long while, Pei Nanli fell silent for a moment, the evening wind stirring a few stray strands of hair by her cheek.

She finally let out a low "Hmm," as if agreeing: "Fine, I'll go ask for you."

Her voice carried a trace of reluctant compromise.

"Also," Wang Chuan added, his tone returning to normal, "I know Xin Yuansheng not through Xin Chanxi. It was Xue Qiming, the person I performed CPR on in the Emergency Department the day before yesterday. Xue Qiming is an investment banking guest invited to Mingzhou by Xin Yuansheng."

Pei Nanli lowered her gaze and bit her lip, her mind in turmoil: 'Is there something wrong with me? Why do I care? Even if Wang Chuan is dating Xin Chanxi, so what! Although Wang Chuan seems like a different person over the past month, I have no intention of accepting him as my boyfriend.'

This thought made her feel a strange sense of irritability and powerlessness.

What Wang Chuan was thinking was to let Ning Hui persuade Xue Yuan. First, Ning Hui is a law professor; regarding legal issues, she could clarify doubts for Xue Yuan in time. Second, although he saved her life in the Surgery Room this afternoon, if he spoke of it, would Xue Yuan believe him?

The doctors and nurses present would not tell Xue Yuan either. Although Zhai Director was present, without Wang Chuan pointing out the location of the damaged blood vessel, you would have died.

When he performed CPR on Xue Qiming, his decisive use of medication was something Doctor Wu Qinghua could have handled even if he hadn't done it.

Xue Yuan was actually saved by the system Wang Chuan brought, not by human effort.

Ordinary people sometimes have excessively high expectations of a doctor's ability, which can ultimately lead to tragedy.

Or perhaps the patient's heart is dark, or they are a refined egoist, waiting to find fault with the doctor after the fact.

A doctor is only human, not a god. They will do their utmost to save the dying and heal the wounded within their capabilities; this is dictated by their professional ethics.

As the two had just returned to the Obstetrics Department, the alarm at the nurses' station began to ring.

Looking at the display, it was from the ward area where Xue Yuan was located!

Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli instantly exchanged a glance; all emotion on their faces vanished in an instant, leaving only solemnity.

'Damn it, it seems Heaven is dissatisfied with my changing Xue Yuan's fate and still wants her to die!'

Inside the single-patient ward of the Obstetrics Department, the atmosphere was tense as a drawn bowstring.

Xue Yuan's face was ashen, cold sweat pouring down. Having just experienced violent projectile vomiting, she was groaning in pain: "Head... it hurts so much... feels like it's going to explode... I can't see clearly..."

On the monitor, her Blood Pressure Monitor spiked to 180/110mmHg and continued to rise; her heart rate was fast, and her blood oxygen dropped.

"Xue Auntie!" Wang Chuan rushed into the ward. Seeing the vomit on the bedsheet, he guessed it was a critical case of postpartum preeclampsia and reached out to touch Xue Yuan.

【Clinical Medical Insight】 activated instantly, and numerous tags floated above Xue Yuan's head:

【Postpartum preeclampsia crisis, blood pressure rising sharply, severe headache, blurred vision, projectile vomiting】

【Significantly increased intracranial pressure】

【Extremely high risk of severe complications: low platelets, high liver enzymes】

【Risk of acute kidney injury】

【Impending eclamptic seizures】

"Go quickly and call Doctor Dai!" Wang Chuan said to the nurse with decisive firmness.

"She is experiencing a postpartum preeclampsia crisis! It must be handled immediately! I will perform the deep vein puncture."

Memories from his past life and the Muscle Memory from 【Virtual Operation Training】 guided Wang Chuan to perform the deep vein puncture with precision.

He spoke gently to Xue Yuan: "Xue Auntie, rest assured, I will save you."

Doctor Dai arrived at the ward, saw the scene, and immediately ordered: sedation to prevent seizures, magnesium sulfate for antispasmodics, antihypertensive drugs, rapid fluid resuscitation, and preparation for endotracheal intubation.

"Wang Chuan, let me do it," Doctor Dai said, not expecting this Intern to be so bold, performing a venous puncture himself.

"Doctor Dai, trust me. I have no problem with this puncture."

Wang Chuan did not stop the operation. His virtual operation cultivation for punctures had reached an advanced level; he should be on par with Doctor Dai.

Watching Wang Chuan's fluid, effortless preparatory movements and the calmness far exceeding that of an Intern, a trace of surprise flashed in Doctor Dai's eyes.

But now was not the time to question: "Good! Wang Chuan, you do it! Move fast! Nurse, prepare Diazepam 10mg IV push! Get the tongue depressor and Suction Device ready! Pei Nanli, assist in stabilizing the position!"

The puncture needle in Wang Chuan's hand steadily pierced the skin.

Puff! A slight sensation of breakthrough came through!

Success!

"Guidewire!" Wang Chuan growled low. The nurse, her hands trembling, handed over the guidewire.

Wang Chuan's fingers were as steady as a rock; the guidewire was precisely fed along the core of the puncture needle.

Suddenly, Xue Yuan's body convulsed violently! Her eyes rolled back, her jaw clenched tight, and her limbs went rigid!

"Eclampsia has set in," Pei Nanli cried out in shock.

In a critical moment! Wang Chuan did not loosen his grip on the puncture needle, protecting the guidewire and the puncture site fiercely.

Doctor Dai called out softly: "I'll do it!"

In a flash of lightning and spark, she precisely inserted the gauze-wrapped tongue depressor into Xue Yuan's mouth to prevent biting, while simultaneously steadying her head as it threw back violently!

Her movements were clean and decisive.

Wang Chuan seized these precious seconds. "Secure it! Don't let her move the guidewire!" At the same time, he quickly withdrew the puncture needle and inserted a deep venous catheter along the guidewire.

"Catheter in place! Secure it!"

Wang Chuan's hand movements were precise and flawless. He quickly sutured and secured the catheter, then connected the three-way stopcock and the infusion tubing.

"Rapid infusion!" He immediately joined in controlling the convulsions.

Pei Nanli, Doctor Dai, and the others worked together to hold Xue Yuan down. After administering additional sedatives, the convulsions finally subsided.

But the blood oxygen level plummeted to 85%!

"Prepare for intubation!" Doctor Dai's heart sank to the bottom.

"Give her one more chance! High-flow oxygen!" Wang Chuan adjusted her position to open the airway.

'Heaven, I just want to save her. If I see her, I will save her!'

The blood oxygen struggled to rise to... 92%... The blood oxygen value stubbornly held at 92%.

Then, it began to climb extremely slowly: 93%... 94%... Finally stabilizing at 95%!

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Doctor Dai's eyes were filled with shock and praise: "Handled very well! Extremely timely and decisive!"

She immediately took over, directing subsequent close monitoring and treatment, and ordered Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli to remain on standby at all times.

Chen Qing was allowed to enter. Seeing his unconscious wife and the dragon-phoenix twins in the incubator, he was in tears and bowed deeply to Wang Chuan, Doctor Dai, and the others.

"Thank you... thank you for saving my wife..."

Ding-dong. A light screen appeared before Wang Chuan. 【Virtual Operation Training】 activation condition eighteen: 5/6.

【Peak Medical Skill Experience, second activation progress】: Received gratitude from the patient and their relatives. Cumulative total 1/100.
