At this time, a call came in from a landline number, the last number was 110.
Li Xia, who was rushing to the hospital, picked up the call. The police station called back based on the previous alarm call and asked Li Xia about his relationship with the middle-aged man and whether he knew any of his relatives or friends.
Because he knew that black market boxing was illegal, Li Xia naturally would not admit his relationship with the middle-aged man to the police. On the phone, he just explained that he happened to be passing by and saw someone lying on the ground and called the police.
The policeman on the other end of the phone had neither suspicion nor questioning. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Li Xia faintly heard a sigh and a low conversation coming from the other end of the phone.
Listen, the middle-aged man's situation shouldn't be very good.
"Wait a minute." Li Xia hesitated and asked, "Officer, how is that man doing now?"
"Still in the hospital for rescue, um, we need to notify the family members to come over." The policeman answered quickly.
"Is surgery necessary? Is it dangerous?" Li Xia has a seriously ill mother at home, and Li Xia is somewhat familiar with the routines of these hospitals.
"Yeah, pretty much. It's a bit dangerous."
The police seemed very busy and probably didn't want to spend any more time with this unsuspecting passerby, so they hung up the phone in a hurry.
Li Xia stood on the roadside, facing the gusts of night wind, his scalp was numb and his heart was pounding.
...
There was a tense and busy atmosphere in the emergency room of the county hospital.
The originally peaceful night was broken by a middle-aged man who had just arrived. His face was covered with purple bruises, and there was still wet blood at the corner of his mouth.
Several nurses stood around, holding various instruments to measure his vital signs.
The male doctor standing next to him had a solemn expression. He had looked at the man's pupils before and knew that the man's condition was very critical.
Didi didi!
The ECG monitoring equipment suddenly made a sharp beeping sound.
"Blood pressure dropped rapidly!" a young nurse wearing glasses said quickly.
"The heart rate is very unstable!" Another older nurse added while staring at the monitor.
"Defibrillation."
The male doctor took the electrode pad from the nurse beside him and put it on the man's chest. With a "bang", the middle-aged man lying on the bed jerked his body.
The male doctor turned his head and glanced at the ECG monitor, then gave another electric shock.
The middle-aged man's body twitched again.
Click again, twitch again.
Finally, the male doctor lowered his hands.
Apart from the beeping sound from the heart monitor, there was no other sound in the emergency room.
"Sun... Doctor Sun, his blood pressure is getting lower and lower..." the bespectacled nurse pointed at the instruments placed beside the bed and stuttered nervously.
"Adrenaline injection." The male doctor said calmly, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
Five minutes later, the nurse who had been staring at the ECG monitor turned her head in fear, looked at the male doctor, and said desperately: "The blood pressure has started to drop again."
"Keep fighting."
"..."
"Hit again."
"..."
"beat."
...
Li Xia, who was standing at the door of the emergency room, stared inside with wide eyes through the small glass on the door, waiting and waiting. He suddenly reacted, quickly stepped aside and lowered his head.
Bang.
The door to the emergency room was opened from the inside, and the male doctor walked out with several nurses.
"Dr. Sun, you just received ten doses of epinephrine. Can that man hold on?" The nurse with glasses followed closely behind the male doctor. This was the first time she had encountered such a scene of first aid. To be honest, she couldn't bear it.
Now I feel like my little heart is beating fast.
Li Xia, who was hiding behind the door, couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
Dr. Sun stood still, looked back at the middle-aged man lying in the emergency room, and said helplessly: "Ten? I'll probably have to give him twenty or thirty more tonight to save his life."
"Ah! Twenty or thirty?" The bespectacled nurse let out a small scream, covered her mouth, and said in surprise, "With so many blows, can we save the person? Will the person be damaged?"
Dr. Sun, who was experienced in first aid, shook his head.
"If we can't save her, why are we still holding on? Dr. Sun, why don't we just do an operation to save her? Let's get an expert consultation or something?"
"The back of the skull was cracked, and the inside was shattered into pieces. Four more ribs were broken, and the lungs were punctured. Even the gods couldn't save them. I injected so much adrenaline just to get my family to come over and take a last look.
."
"Hey, my body is covered with bruises from beatings. I guess I got into a fight and beat myself to death."
"..."
Li Xia couldn't listen to the rest of the words. He staggered and dragged his heavy body out of the hospital with a blank mind.
He walked to the doorstep and stopped. For some reason, he couldn't walk down the ten or so short steps.
Li Xia took deep breaths several times, trying to calm down, but the tense and desperate scene in the emergency room and the doctor's last words, "Even gods can't save him," kept popping up in his mind.
It was dark at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road outside the hospital.
I don't know how long it took, but a silver van parked in front of the hospital. A middle-aged woman with a miserable face opened the door and stumbled towards the emergency room.
After a while, a desperate cry came from inside.
On this quiet night, it seemed particularly harsh.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Xia regained his composure and turned to the hospital registration office to ask about the cost of his mother's surgery at the end of the month.
Naturally, the nurse sitting at the table didn't know, but luckily there was nothing going on in the hospital at night, so the nurse still helped the poor young man.
She made a few calls and asked about the approximate cost.
"About 80,000. Little brother, don't be nervous. Now that the country is promoting medical insurance, it won't cost much in the end. Hey, I think your mother is from the village. So, if you take the time to go to the town tomorrow to apply for a serious illness subsidy, it should be
I can also get a subsidy of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan..."
My mother had nothing, and was reluctant to pay even the New Rural Compensation System, which only required a few hundred yuan a year.
Without surgery, her illness would only drag on day by day, and her condition would get worse.
According to Li Xia's previous consultation with the doctor, the surgery at the end of the month is already the latest treatment deadline. Once the time passes, only gods may be able to save her.
After so many years of treatment for a serious illness, relatives and friends around me have borrowed money many times, and it is impossible to borrow even a word of money.
Thinking of his mother's wasting away, Li Xia's heart felt as painful as being cut by a knife.
"Ahhh!"
"Woo!"
"My life is so miserable!"
"Why!"
Li Xia twisted his neck and turned his head inch by inch, like a machine. He looked numbly at the emergency room where crying sounds suddenly sounded, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
