Unexpected
Before leaving Xishuangbanna and returning to Linlan, the journey of the two encountered a small accident.
It happened at the Gasa International Airport on the morning they were leaving.
Yu Luoyin and Bai Xunyin had returned from a remote Hani village to the city the night before, deliberately resting early to catch the flight home the next morning. They arrived at the airport in the early morning mist.
At this early hour, there werent too many people at the airport, mostly travelers leaning together catching some sleep.
After pa.s.sing security, the two found a place to sit down. Yu Luoyin said the airplane food was not good and wanted to buy something else to eat.
Although their luggage had already been checked in, Bai Xunyin didnt feel like going with him and decided to wait.
She wasnt tired last night and spent the time playing a game on her phoneCandy Man.
She wasnt much of a mobile gamer, only playing these somewhat simple games.
However, these games also consumed a lot of time, and Bai Xunyin realized it had been almost twenty minutes when she put down her phone.
That wasnt the point.
The point was that Yu Luoyin, who went to buy food, hadnt returned yet.
Could he have gone to the restroom?
Bai Xunyin furrowed her brows and picked up her phone to call Yu Luoyin.
The phone rang beep beep indicating it was calling, but no one answered.
Immediately feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart, Bai Xunyin thought for a moment and decided to stand up and find someone while carrying her bag.
Yu Luoyin wouldnt ignore her calls without a reason, especially since being in a strange place was already a worrying situation in itself.
He must have encountered an emergency.
Bai Xunyin pursed her lips, looking for someone in the vast airport. Eventually, she started running instead of walking briskly.
She had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, feeling the airport, with its air conditioning, was stuffy and hot.
The woman ran all the way to the airport restroom and saw a crowd gathered in an area where there should have been few people. She didnt know why and hurried over, pus.h.i.+ng through the crowd.
As a result, she saw Yu Luoyin kneeling on the ground, his brows furrowed tightly, his long and powerful hands pressing on the chest of a man who had fainted on the ground.
He was applying force, a typical emergency measure.
Bai Xunyin felt as if her heart had dropped heavily from being suspended in her chest. She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly approaching Yu Luoyin and asking softly, What happened?
But Yu Luoyin didnt have time to look at her.
He urgently said, Call 120.
Ive already called! Five minutes ago!
A helpful bystander said hurriedly, Young man, I called five minutes ago, but the nearest hospital is far away.
Yes, someone has already gone to find the airport staff!
Yu Luoyins clear brows were tightly furrowed, his lips pressed together without speaking.
Just from his expression, Bai Xunyin could tell that the patients condition was probably not good. The man lying on the ground seemed to be in his prime, not an elderly person who couldnt get up after a fall, but his complexion was purplish-black, as if he couldnt breathe.
Having never witnessed such a scene before, Bai Xunyin felt as if she were watching a vigorous life gradually disappearing before her eyes.
She unconsciously grabbed Yu Luoyins arm, then squeezed it tightly, as if comforting him.
At that moment, Bai Xunyin didnt realize that Yu Luoyin had seen such situations far more times than her.
She just subconsciously wanted to do so.
I went to the supermarket next door to buy some things. When I came out, I saw him lying on the ground, Yu Luoyin took a deep breath, I just checked his eyes, heartbeat, took measures, couldnt take images to confirm but its possible he has an epidural hematoma. Its dangerous if we dont send him to the hospital in time.
To put it bluntly, this man took a bad fall, and the bleeding in his brain had entered the cranial cavity.
Bai Xunyin didnt understand these medical terms, but she understood that the symptoms sounded serious just by hearing them. Her face turned pale unconsciously, and her grip on his arm tightened even more.
What what should we do?
This man had no one accompanying him, and he clearly wasnt a local at the airport. It would be tragic if he died in a strange land due to an accident.
With Bai Xunyins question, the surrounding onlookers couldnt help but feel anxiousthey instinctively looked at Yu Luoyin.
Of course, they didnt know that Yu Luoyin was a doctor. They just saw his decisive actions in saving people, which didnt seem like those of a young person who would stand by and watch, as some stories on the internet claimed. Moreover, he looked very professional, making people trust and rely on him unconsciously.
But this was the first time Yu Luoyin had faced such a sudden accident since he became a doctor.
He was away from home, at an airport far from the hospital, and didnt even have a stethoscope with him but that didnt stop his determination to treat the patient and save lives.
In an instant, Yu Luoyin remembered the doctor Edward he had encountered on the plane before.
Even on a small, hopeless plane with no support, Dr. Edward could save lives.
Why couldnt he do the same?
A profound sense of responsibility overwhelmed him.
Yu Luoyin took a deep breath, then turned to Bai Xunyin and quickly said, It should be a preliminary epidural hematoma. I trust my judgment.
We need to do a CT scan, but its not in the acute phase, so we dont need to perform immediate craniotomy.
But we need to get him to the hospital quickly
Yinyin, we cant wait for airport staff. We need to take him there immediately!
Even though Yu Luoyin wanted to act without hesitation, he still had to consider the feelings of the woman beside him and ask for her opinion.
Because he was definitely going to miss this return flight, he just didnt know if Bai Xunyin would be willing to go with him.
Okay.
Bai Xunyin nodded in response to his words.
She quickly regained her composure and looked around at the crowd.
Her voice was clear as she said, Can anyone help me lift this man who fainted onto my husbands back?
Whatever Yu Luoyin needed to do, she would follow him without hesitation.
What was a flight compared to this?
There would be another one.
In fact, there are still more kind-hearted people in the world. As soon as Bai Xunyin spoke, several hands reached out to help lift the man who had fainted onto Yu Luoyins back. Voices chimed in:
This is too far from the airport. I have a car. Ill drive these two young people there!
These days, there arent many people who actively help others like this. You young couple are truly kind-hearted
Thats right, thats right.
Bai Xunyin felt a mix of urgency and amus.e.m.e.nt. In fact, they were just considered kind-hearted. The people present, who lent a helping hand in times of trouble, were the real kind-hearted ones.
So the woman turned around, smiled at the onlookers, and said softly, You all are.
.
The nearest hospital to the airport was still several kilometers away. The driver who offered his car drove fast, even running two red lights on the way in the early morning.
He couldnt help but ask nervously, Young man, can this man be saved?
Yu Luoyin had been supporting the mans head, trying to keep him sitting upright to stabilize him and prevent excessive blood flow due to the b.u.mpiness after a potential epidural hematoma. He pursed his lips at the question.
It was a while before he replied, Yes.
As long as they were fast enough and the measures were in place, this life could be saved!
Yu Luoyin firmly believed in this, and he didnt want the hopes of the helpful people who extended their hands to be dashed. He confidently told the driver, who was blindly optimistic.
Fortunately, there were few people at the hospital early in the morning, so there was no need to wait in line or anything.
At the critical point of life-threatening danger, every minute and second counted.
The patient was put on a stretcher and taken directly to the emergency room.
After seeing the man being taken in, Yu Luoyin finally relaxed, his tense heartstrings loosening. He let out a heavy breath and sat down on the public bench behind him, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.
Unnoticeably, the slender fingertips of the man trembled slightly, whether from nervousness or exhaustion after carrying the weight of the man to the hospital.
Bai Xunyin also breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over and gently held Yu Luoyins hand, which was quickly grasped in return, and her delicate figure was pulled into his embrace.
He should be able to make it. Its not the acute phase, and hes in the best time for surgery
Yu Luoyin murmured to himself in her ear, then asked, doubting himself this time, Do you think so?
Yes.
Bai Xunyin patted his back soothingly.
Your judgment wont be wrong, Yu Luoyin. Do you remember what you once told me?
Yu Luoyin was taken aback.
What?
You said you were the best doctor, capable of soothing all pains.
Bai Xunyin smiled at him, her eyes sparkling.
Today, I finally realized that you were telling the truth.
Her young man, seemingly bold and unrestrained
But he didnt speak empty words.
.
In the end, the man was saved.
It was an epidural hematoma, and indeed, the first aid measures were in place, and the timing of his arrival was perfect for treatment.
The surgeon who performed the operation heard about the airport incident and specifically wanted to meet Yu Luoyin. Fortunately, they both wanted to wait for a good outcome and hadnt left yet.
The old doctor, with white hair, widened his eyes when he saw Yu Luoyin and couldnt help but exclaim, So young truly awe-inspiring, truly awe-inspiring.
The young mans actions at the airport in the early morning had already become the talk of the towneven making it to the local news.
But upon meeting the young man in person, the old doctor realized that it wasnt just hearsay or exaggeration.
This kid was really young.
And when the old doctor was young, he couldnt be as decisive as Yu Luoyin.
Facing Yu Luoyins modesty, he shook his head.
You are a doctor with great potential, but this experience is truly valuable. Your first aid measures were all in place, including the timing of arrivalwithout you, that gentleman wouldnt have survived.
But for a doctor, treating and saving lives was a duty and an obligation.
How could he bear such praise?
Yu Luoyin just smiled and didnt say anything.
The old doctor asked again, I estimate the patient will want to see you after he wakes up.
Unfortunately.
Yu Luoyin glanced at his watch.
Senior, we need to catch our flight.
It had already been delayed for quite some time, and if they continued to linger, they would miss the late-night flight.
The old doctor felt somewhat regretful.
Do you really have to leave so soon?
Yeah.
Yu Luoyin didnt care whether others appreciated his reputation. He did things based on his conscience, just to fulfill his professional duties. So he wasnt attached to the grat.i.tude of patients either.
So when Yu Luoyin took Bai Xunyins hand and turned to leave, his explanation to the old doctor was simple.
Goodbye, senior. We have to hurry home. I have to go to work tomorrow.
No matter how bright the spotlight was, he still had to live a miserable life as a wage slave.
But as long as he could do something every day that he was proud of, that was enough.
