When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 1978

Capítulo 1978: Chapter 1984: Falling Behind in Points!

Language can truly be a magical thing sometimes!

It can instantly bridge the gap between people.

Chen Cang’s proficiency in multiple languages immediately delighted the surrounding doctors and nurses.

Old Ma and the others were also shocked!

“Where did Chen Cang learn these foreign languages?” Old Ma couldn’t help but ask.

Deng Ming pondered for a moment and said, “Does he need to learn?”

Old Ma: ???

“He can learn surgeries just by watching once, maybe… languages are the same?”

“Damn, he’s a freak!”

The first day was mainly about familiarization with the environment.

There wasn’t much they needed to handle.

The real assessment would take place over the next two days!

As the second day arrived, various regional TV stations were ready for live broadcasting.

They needed to document not just the rescue operations, but a series of stories from the perspectives of patients, doctors, and hospitals.

As a city of over two million people, the security in South Africa was still noticeably poorer than back home.

Meanwhile, TV stations from various countries began their broadcasts.

The specific process of the surgeries wouldn’t be directly broadcasted as it was too gory; instead, general emergency scene knowledge would be the focus.

After all… even if you broadcast a surgery, the average person wouldn’t understand!

Even if they did understand, it wouldn’t be of any use!

Could an ordinary person go on-site to perform surgery?

So, this broadcast mainly aimed at education and expanding influence.

Of course, that’s where explanation comes in.

They could watch the videos while providing commentary to the audience.

This time, Yu Yonggang and another expert from Xiehe were invited for commentary; both had participated in competitions.

However, the domestic viewership ratings weren’t very high.

After all, this was the first attempt, and not many people were receptive!

Even so, many Chinese viewers stayed by their TVs, waiting for the competition to start!

Sixty-plus countries from all over the world were competing.

There has always been talk of foreign medical levels being advanced.

This time, it was time to see if that was true!

The world wanted to satisfy their curiosity about how strong foreign medical levels really are.

Of course, with Yu Yonggang’s commentary, everyone hoped the Chinese medical team could achieve a good result!

But often, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

That day, the team led by Zhao Ling conducted a rescue operation in the morning, and after the competition, the expert team gave a score of 81.5!

This score wasn’t low at all, but it was far from excellent.

At noon, Zhang Huating’s team also took on a task, an acute pelvic fracture patient!

After the rescue and surgery, the expert delegation gave a score of 81.

The scores from both tasks resulted in a temporary average score of 81.25.

Throughout the morning, almost all national teams undertook tasks and completed rescue surgeries.

Some were successful, and inevitably, some involved rescue failures!

The reality of these rescues—racing against life and death—truly shocked everyone!

Many cases were seen where patients died on the spot due to failed rescues.

The rounds of relentless CPR efforts by first responders were also witnessed, lasting up to two hours.

And the joy of successful resuscitation was seen as well!

Good things spread by word of mouth.

By evening, the global emergency skills competition’s viewership ratings soared!

But!

A problem was revealed!

That was China’s ranking was only 12th.

When this score was seen, viewers in front of the TV were truthfully, to some extent, disappointed!

This wasn’t like the Olympics.

Olympic results only relate to the athlete.

But the level of medical care concerns the safety of every citizen!

However, seeing Zhao Ling’s team work so hard, everyone knew they gave their best effort!

Luckily, the competition lasted two days and wasn’t over yet!

Instantly, supporters and fans rallied online on their behalf!

Zhao Ling and his team could see the rankings as well.

Seeing their scores and ranks, a sense of powerlessness crept into their hearts!

It was truly frustrating!

But they really did their best.

Everyone’s face bore a bitter expression.

Zhang Huating felt the same way.

He thought he performed well, his team members exceeded themselves, but even so…

Reality is reality!

They might still be far behind those top-notch emergency surgeons?

Besides the national rankings, there were also team rankings, with 200 teams in total, and only the top 50 could advance to the finals.

They had to be in the top fifty to have any chance of advancing to the semifinals!

But currently, their scores were in the seventies.

A sense of defeat arose!

However, by the afternoon of the first day’s competition, everything changed!

In the emergency department of Pretoria’s public hospital in South Africa, as the emergency call came in, a nurse’s face changed!

She hurriedly told Chen Cang and the others:

“There’s been a shooting at City Hall, the injured is a government official from City Hall, address… the patient sustained a close-range gunshot wound to the chest area, currently in critical condition…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s team’s eyes lit up!

A task had arrived!

Finally, it came!

If it didn’t come, the anticipation would drive them mad.

Before her voice had faded, Chen Cang and the others began preparing!

But, since it was their first time facing a shooting incident, everyone, including Chen Cang, was very nervous.

The ambulance was ready, and Chen Cang, along with Old Ma, Deng Ming, and Jing Ran, boarded together.

The other two prepared for other duties back at base!

The vehicle raced forward, and the driver couldn’t help but say, “A close-range chest gunshot, you guys are really unlucky!”

The driver spoke in English, so everyone understood.

“Why?”

The driver said solemnly, “I’ve driven an ambulance for thirty years and have never seen anyone survive a close-range chest gunshot to the hospital!”

“Have you ever handled a gun?”

Everyone fell silent for a moment. What kind of gun are you referring to?

The driver said, “After a close-range gunshot, it’s not just about piercing through!”

“The bullet bursts open with power inside the body!”

“So, you can’t imagine how much damage there could be inside the chest cavity. The heart is definitely damaged, and those liver, spleen—everything could be ruptured!”

Upon hearing the driver say this, indeed, everyone felt their hearts sinking!

“Whether the patient can even hold out until we get there is a question!” the driver sighed, “In encountering such patients, you’re really unlucky, but… I think the scores probably take multiple factors into account.”

“In such gunshot cases, they shouldn’t be overly harsh!”
