Chapter 2483: Same Illness, Different Fates

"Go ahead and get busy." Zhang Wei told her, feeling neither rushed nor urgent, even when it came to choosing which ambulance to take to the hospital.

You could say Zhang Wei isn’t dumb. The chaotic scene showed, as her deskmate mentioned, that a group of competent doctors was attending to her and other injured individuals. Since it was apparent that her injuries weren’t as severe as others’, she didn’t need to rush. Perhaps she could wait until these excellent doctors had time to accompany her to a top-notch hospital, like the top-ranked Guoxie, where her deskmate was, for a good recovery.

Of course, Xie Wanying could guess her intention, and it seemed quite reasonable. Moreover, her deskmate’s willingness to sacrifice his own interests to make way for others’ lives was purely an act of high morality.

She entrusted her deskmate to a helpful bystander and walked with Student Wei to assist the senior brothers and sisters.

As she had initially thought, Student Wei was exceptionally attentive and caring towards the children. Midway, he saw the young girl Shan Shan struggling to get up several times to check on her sister despite her injuries. Wei Shangquan immediately went over to comfort her: "Your sister will be okay. Lie down quickly."

Whether a patient will be okay sometimes hinges on a family intuition, particularly among siblings. Perhaps, even before the doctors make a full judgment, the family can sense that something isn’t right.

Walking beside her senior brothers and sisters, Xie Wanying crouched down to look at the young patient.

Xiao Yu was lying flat on the ground, unconscious. The bruise on her forehead was evidence of how this child had been snatched away by Death God. The teacher and elder sister could only think of using their own bodies to shield her from external harm, never imagining that the violent shaking of the car would cause her head to hit the side of the car, resulting in a severe closed brain injury.

Brain injuries are common among severely injured car accident patients and are one of the critical factors leading to their deaths, often discussed in past cases. What will become of this child’s situation today?

He Xiangyu had great confidence that one of Guoxie’s most famous neurosurgery experts on-site would surely save her. She actively prepared to help, saying to Senior Cao: "Senior Cao, what tools do you need? I’ll find them. Do you need a hand-held drill? I’ll borrow one from the firefighters."

She had heard before that her junior sister had once received professional guidance from Senior Cao outside of the hospital and successfully saved a child with a brain injury using a civilian hand-held drill.

The second sister was referring to the little boy saved with Teacher Ren that day.

The young boy had an epidural hematoma, which is relatively better in terms of the types of brain injuries. A more severe case was that of Sister Seo, whose rescue was ultimately timely and incredibly fortunate, as most people don’t survive brainstem compression.

The second sister’s words probably didn’t consider the specific classifications of brain injuries, that’s one. The other point is the patient’s luck. The same illness or injury could mean some patients survive while others do not. Why was this suddenly brought to mind? Xie Wanying glanced over at Senior Cao, whose handsome face was silently stoic, his eyes and brows resembling tightly closed doors that gave away no expression, letting no information leak. At this moment, all she could think of was the encounter with Xiao Zhang’s mother during her first day of hospital internship.

Back then, her senior brother didn’t say he couldn’t save her; the operation succeeded, but ultimately Xiao Zhang’s mother couldn’t survive the subsequent days.
