"Doctor Liu! The fetus is in an abnormal position!" The midwife was already on standby in the delivery room, so as soon as Ding Sha was pushed in, she started to check her condition.
Doctor Liu's heart skipped a beat. "Have you found her medical records?"
The young nurse took out a thick medical record and said, "Found it. The last prenatal checkup before the flu was normal."
"That means something has changed in the past few months," Dr. Liu touched her belly.
"Prepare for a caesarean section."
"Her husband didn't come. He is quarantined at home," the young nurse said with embarrassment. "The people outside are her employees."
"Let's do a routine check first. Go and cut in line," Doctor Liu said without stopping, "prepare for B-ultrasound and fetal heart monitoring."
"Her water broke early," Dr. Liu said. "If we wait too long, the baby will suffocate."
"Yes!" the young nurse and the midwife said in unison.
They realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately started to get busy.
Mrs. Tong and Aunt Zhuang were waiting in the crowded corridor, sweating profusely. The cell phone in their hands rang. It was Xiao Jun calling.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, don't worry, she has been sent to the delivery room. Doctor Liu and the others are here," Mrs. Tong quickly comforted.
Xiao Jun was fidgeting at home, his hands and lips were trembling.
He couldn't even imagine Ding Sha giving birth in the delivery room.
Hearing what Tong's wife said, he felt relieved, but he still reminded her again and again, "Be sure to call me if there is anything."
"Okay." Mrs. Tong simply didn't hang up the phone. She kept it in her hand so that she could talk to Xiao Jun.
The doctors and midwives were running around so busy that their goggles were fogged up.
Finally, all the examinations were completed, and Dr. Liu shook his head to wipe away the stinging sweat on his eyelashes.
"The baby is in an abnormal position. We need to perform a caesarean section now," Dr. Liu said to Tong's wife as quickly as possible. "We must deliver the baby quickly. The amniotic fluid has broken and the baby may suffocate at any time."
Dr. Liu's words were transmitted to Xiao Jun through the phone word for word, and he hurriedly shouted, "Doctor! Dr. Liu!"
Mrs. Tong handed the phone to Dr. Liu.
"Hello? I'm Liu Li."
"Doctor Liu, I'm Shasha's husband," Xiao Jun said quickly, "You can record what I say next. I entrust Shasha's affairs to you. If anything happens, you must protect Shasha!"
He can live without children, but he can't live without Shasha.
He hopes that there will be Shasha in his family.
"Okay, I understand." Doctor Liu was stunned for a moment, "But don't worry, we will do our best to save both the adult and the child if we can."
After saying that, she went into the delivery room.
Xiao Jun stopped talking. He sat on the stool, his heart beating violently, his head felt like thunder, and his whole body was cramping as if it was electrified.
He is scared.
Ding Sha was lying on the operating table, unconscious. She was hooked up to an IV and various instruments.
Dr. Liu looked at the midwife and said, "Let's get started."
The midwife nodded and revealed Dingsha's belly.
The operation began, and the young nurse stood by and concentrated, always paying attention to the instruments that needed attention and the condition of the mother.
Mrs. Tong and Aunt Zhuang held hands tightly and looked at the door of the delivery room.
One after another, emergency beds covered with white cloth were pushed past her, and Mrs. Tong knew that they were people who had already passed away.
The family members followed behind, howling in pain, and the crowded corridor could not contain the joys and sorrows of the people.
Sister Tong couldn't help but wiped away her tears. Aunt Zhuang grabbed her hand and said, "Don't cry. Be careful of infection."
Mrs. Tong sighed, "I just think, oh, it's too difficult."
"Why is it like this?"
The red light at the door of the delivery room was always on.
"I see the baby," the midwife said, "the bad thing is that the umbilical cord is around the neck."
Doctor Liu frowned, "Take the baby out as quickly as possible."
"Yes." The midwife has already started.
"Doctor, the mother's heart rate and blood pressure are dropping rapidly!"
"Push adrenaline!" Dr. Liu shouted.
"Yes!" The young nurse skillfully injected it into the drip.
“It’s relieved.”
"We need to speed up the process," said Dr. Liu.
"It's almost there!" The midwife was also anxious.
"Doctor!! Doctor!! Save my wife! She just gave birth to a baby! How could she just die like this!"
A man with a grief-stricken expression rushed out from somewhere and was about to rush into the delivery room. Mrs. Tong was startled and hurried over to stop him.
"You can't go in there! A baby is being born!"
The man pushed her away. "I don't care who is giving birth! I just know that the doctor must save my wife now!"
Aunt Zhuang also came over to stop him, "How can you be like this! Go find another doctor!!"
"Get out of here!" The man continued to rush into the delivery room.
Aunt Zhuang held him tightly, "You are not allowed to go in!"
There was a stalemate for a while, and the people in the corridor looked at the quarrel indifferently and dully. They couldn't even take care of their own safety, so who would care about the life and death of others
Not long after, an elderly woman came over crying, "Dahao, go back and take your wife home."
"I won't go! Xiaoyan can still be saved! I want to find a doctor to save Xiaoyan!" The man refused.
"Dahao!" the woman shouted, "Xiaoyan has been a good doctor all her life. Do you have to make such a fuss that you can't even close your eyes after she passes away?"
Sister Tong was stunned. "Doctor...doctor?"
The woman came over and pulled the man who was no longer resisting and just crying softly, "I'm sorry, my son just can't accept the death of his daughter-in-law..."
Sister Tong stood up, a little stunned, "Your daughter-in-law... is a doctor..."
"Ah, she's a doctor. She returned to work a few days after giving birth," the woman wiped her tears. "Maybe she was unlucky. She got an infection... She was weak and didn't make it..."
The woman took Dahao away, but Tong's wife felt cold all over. For the first time, she clearly realized how cruel this flu was.
"Auntie... after this is over..." Sister Tong suddenly said, "Let's go home and have a good sleep..."
“Okay…” Aunt Zhuang also had mixed feelings.
In the delivery room.
"The baby is out!" the midwife said in surprise.
"Is it clean? How is the child?" asked Doctor Liu.
"Everything is fine."
"Start suturing." Doctor Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Doctor Liu!" Suddenly, the nurse pointed at the machine and said, "The mother's condition is not good again!"
"Keep pushing! Adrenaline!" Doctor Liu frowned.
The young nurse pushed it in immediately.
"No!" The young nurse looked at the numbers that were still falling sharply.
Dr. Liu's heart sank to the bottom.
"Prepare for rescue and call some people to help."
"Doctor Liu! Heavy bleeding!" the midwife suddenly said.
"What's going on?" Doctor Liu shouted anxiously.
"Placenta adhesion." The midwife's expression was not very good.
"I'll write you a blood transfusion order, and you go to the blood bank." Dr. Liu said to the nurse, "First try manual dissection, and if that doesn't work, consider hysterectomy."
The young nurse ran out quickly after getting the blood transfusion order. Sister Tong asked quickly, "Nurse, nurse, how is my baby Shasha?"
The young nurse didn't have time to say anything, "The doctor will be out soon."
The young nurse ran away, and Mrs. Tong felt very uneasy.
Doctor Liu came out and said, "The mother is bleeding heavily. In the worst case, she needs a hysterectomy."
Mrs. Tong couldn't make a decision, and she called Xiao Jun with trembling heart to tell him about it.
Xiao Jun didn't hesitate, "I agree, as long as Shasha's life is saved!"
