68. Get Dr. Yip in here now.

Although Ye Xiu worked early and returned late every day of the week, even working two consecutive days on weekends, the number of patients he treated continued to increase. However, no one in the department cheered for him or praised him, nor did anyone have high hopes for him.

In their eyes, Ye Xiu's early and late work, including weekend shifts, were only done to impress Wang Yanchao. As for the increase in the number of patients treated by Ye Xiu, it was believed to be coerced by Wang Yanchao, not voluntary on Ye Xiu's part. Furthermore, nobody believed that Ye Xiu was truly improving or capable of seeing so many patients. They even felt that Ye Xiu's fast pace of seeing patients was chaotic and careless, merely to get by.

Otherwise, Ye Xiu couldn't possibly see more patients at a faster rate than those experienced doctors in the outpatient department. There were doctors with ten years of experience who only saw just over a hundred patients a day. Ye Xiu had only been working for a week, yet he was already seeing one hundred and ten patients a day? It was unbelievable.

They all believed that Ye Xiu's behavior was self-destructive, that being so hasty and careless would inevitably lead to trouble.

Except for a few people like Wang Yanchao and Huang Maoqing, everyone in the department was secretly speculating about when Ye Xiu would get into trouble. Especially the outpatient doctors, each secretly sneering and waiting. Despite Ye Xiu helping them take on many patients, even covering weekend shifts for them, they chose to ignore it.

In the inpatient department, those doctors who used to share an office with Ye Xiu were also speculating about when Ye Xiu would get into trouble. After Zheng Wenbo's departure from the respiratory department was announced, they had no doubts about Ye Xiu's departure. In terms of background, Zheng Wenbo was much stronger than Ye Xiu. In terms of education, Zheng Wenbo was also better than Ye Xiu by many degrees. Although Zheng Wenbo's medical skills were not outstanding, his education should still be better than Ye Xiu's. From any angle, Ye Xiu had no chance of staying.

"It's been a week already. How much longer do you think Dr. Ye can stay?"

"I think it's at most these two days. I heard from the outpatient department that Dr. Ye has been seeing over a hundred patients every day for the past two days. Obviously, he's given up on himself."

"I think so too. Dr. Qin has been working on the front line for nearly ten years and is about to be promoted to deputy director. His diagnostic speed is renowned. Dr. Ye is even faster than him. It's obvious he's given up on himself."

"... "

In the office, the doctors were discussing, all thinking that Ye Xiu's high number of consultations in recent days was purely to get by, and they all believed it was self-destructive behavior. Some even speculated that because Ye Xiu knew he couldn't stay after hearing about Zheng Wenbo leaving, he simply gave up.

"Dr. Che, something's wrong! The patient in bed 101 suddenly started convulsing! You need to come and see what's going on!"

However, just as the doctors were chatting in the office, an urgent voice interrupted them from outside.

"Suddenly convulsing?"

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Dr. Che's expression changed abruptly. Bed 101 was under his care. He couldn't afford to delay and immediately got up, hurrying towards the direction of the ward.

As a clinical doctor, he knew very well what sudden convulsions could mean and the dangers they could bring. It was urgent and couldn't be delayed.

The other doctors in the office also got up one after another, no longer discussing Ye Xiu's situation. They all hurried towards the ward. Such emergencies were not the responsibility of just one doctor; they involved the whole department, and everyone would be held accountable if anything went wrong.

"How could he suddenly start convulsing?"

When Dr. Che arrived at the ward, he saw the patient on the bed convulsing uncontrollably, while Nurse Su Dongmei was continuously performing chest compressions on the patient's heart.

"I don't know. He was fine just now, then suddenly started convulsing!"

The nurse who had just informed Dr. Che looked anxious. She had been taking care of this patient for the past few days.

"Did you administer yesterday's medications to him on time?"

Dr. Che asked anxiously as he approached the patient.

"Yes! I followed your instructions and administered all the medications according to your orders. Everything is recorded."

The nurse replied quickly.

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Dr. Che stopped talking and went up to the patient, gesturing for Nurse Su Dongmei to stop and let him take over.

However, despite Dr. Che's efforts, there was no effect. The patient's vital signs remained very dangerous, and the heart continued to fibrillate.

"Get Director Wang immediately!"

The other doctors who rushed over saw the situation and immediately shouted. They all realized that they might not be able to handle the situation.

Soon, the anxious Director Wang Yanchao rushed over.

His face was full of anxiety.

He had been about to attend a meeting, but after hearing about the situation from the doctor, he turned around immediately and rushed to the ward. As an experienced clinical doctor with superb medical skills, upon hearing about the situation described by the doctor, he realized that it was very serious and dangerous. If things went wrong, it could be fatal.

"Director Wang!"

Seeing Director Wang's arrival, the doctors, nurses, and the almost crying patient's family in the ward all seemed to see a savior. Their eyes lit up with hope.

"How is it? Did the defibrillation work?"

Director Wang didn't pay attention to those people. His gaze was fixed on Dr. Che, the patient, and the various vital signs above the bed.

"No! But we can't get him to defibrillate no matter what."

Dr. Che's expression was almost tearful. Although he had been working as a doctor for some time, facing such a sudden event for the first time was still overwhelming.

"Prepare for immediate injection of lidocaine!"

Director Wang decisively ordered, taking over the patient.

Soon, the equipment was set up, and Director Wang personally performed the most common and usually most effective unsynchronized direct current defibrillation.

However, even after increasing the intensity to 400 watts, the patient's ventricular fibrillation still did not stop.

"Prepare to administer 11% sodium lactate intravenously immediately!"

Director Wang made a decisive decision to prevent the patient from developing acid-base imbalance after convulsing for so long. He had to balance the patient's acid-base situation immediately. After giving the order, he remembered something and said to a nearby doctor, "Go and call Dr. Ye to come over right away!"

At this moment, perhaps only Dr. Ye could come up with a solution!

Director Wang thought to himself. He didn't call Huang Maoqing because he knew him too well and understood his treatment methods too well. In his opinion, even if Huang Maoqing came over, his thinking might be similar to his own, and there might not be any solution. On the other hand, the discussion he had with Ye Xiu last time left a deep impression on him with Ye Xiu's innovative thinking.

Call Dr. Ye?

Which Dr. Ye?

Call the Dr. Ye from the Cardiology Department? Are there any doctors surnamed Ye in the Cardiology Department?

In the ward, those doctors were stunned to hear Director Wang's words.

"Go! Why aren't you going?"

Director Wang's face showed a hint of displeasure. "Why are you dawdling? Don't you know that saving lives is the most important thing?"

"Director Wang, which Dr. Ye are you talking about?"

A doctor asked cautiously.

"Of course, it's the new Dr. Ye in our department. Do we have any other Dr. Yes in our department? It's probably only Dr. Ye who can save him now. Hurry up and go. Tell him no matter what he's doing, he needs to come over first. Saving lives is the priority! Got it?"

Director Wang's eyes widened. Were these people out of their minds? At a time like this, they were asking such low-level questions?
