A top-tier hospital like Binhai University Affiliated Hospital has a comprehensive internal security alert system to handle special emergencies.
The hospital buildings are equipped with a complete paging system.
When the corresponding alarm sounds, this alert system will transmit the alarm to specific areas or personnel according to preset settings, ensuring that doctors or other relevant personnel arrive on the scene as soon as possible.
Patients are most familiar with the emergency call system.
There is an emergency call button on the wall at the head of each hospital bed.
If a patient feels very unwell or exhibits life-threatening symptoms, pressing this button will cause the alarm in the duty room to sound, prompting the on-call emergency team to arrive quickly.
In addition, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital is equipped with specific alerts for fires, doctor-patient conflicts, lost infants, severe acute infectious diseases, radioactive contamination, and more.
To avoid causing panic among patients, different alerts are coded with abbreviations, such as Red Alert, Blue Alert, Gray Alert, White Alert, and Black Alert, etc.
The alarm sound that Lin Jie heard today throughout the hospital was indeed a Black Alert, indicating that a large number of critical patients had flooded into the hospital in a short time, requiring all hospital doctors to quickly assemble for rescue.
Every hospital's security alert system is somewhat different.
Although Lin Jie has a high status at the Affiliated Hospital, he is effectively just an externally hired part-time worker. He has never received the hospital's comprehensive induction training.
Therefore, regarding this alert system and its protocols, he can be said to know nothing.
When Lin Jie hurried to the hospital's emergency department, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Injured patients were being pushed in by emergency personnel from time to time.
Many doctors and nurses were pushing emergency carts equipped with various medical devices, running around the hall.
In the center of the emergency hall, four operating tables had already been set up, each surrounded by six to seven doctors and nurses, who were busy.
This scene is somewhat reminiscent of a field hospital in an earthquake disaster area treating the wounded!
Lin Jie changed into emergency surgical attire, approached one of the operating tables, glanced around, shook his head, stepped forward, and assertively said, "Move aside, let me handle this!"
The patient's thoracic and abdominal cavities were already open, with four or five hands busily working inside.
As a nationally renowned top-tier hospital, every surgeon at the Affiliated Hospital who can independently operate is considered an industry elite.
However, seeing four elite surgeons performing rescue surgery on this patient, Lin Jie felt their mutual interference was not making the surgery more efficient.
Traffic accident victims typically suffer from compound injuries, most commonly various forms of external injuries, bone injuries, and internal organ injuries.
Surgeons often specialize in specific fields, such as abdominal organs, the heart, or bones, so a severely injured traffic victim usually requires at least two to three surgeons for rescue.
Because one person's energy is limited, a doctor like Lin Jie, who is proficient in all aspects, is exceedingly rare.
It can be said that rescuing such compound serious injury cases is Lin Jie's greatest strength, far surpassing other doctors.
Lin Jie, understanding the entirety of a patient's injuries, can quickly judge the urgency and severity of injuries in various areas, providing systematic treatment.
Because many of the patient's injuries are interrelated, and different parts of the injuries affect the body differently, sometimes the most severe injury to a particular area or organ is not necessarily the top priority.
The sudden brusque voice made the ER department head, Hou Jianxiu, who was in the middle of surgery, furious at first. He turned to reprimand, "Where do you come from... oh, Expert Lin!"
Due to the incident involving Kang Yingyao, Hou Jianxiu thought Lin Jie was somewhat narrow-minded, vindictive, but sincerely admired Lin Jie's medical skills.
At the moment, he stepped aside, vacating the surgical position, and urgently said, "It's great you could come. This patient is yours. I'll go tend to other injured people."
Lin Jie stood at the surgical position, took the scalpel handed by the nurse, and while operating, said, "Keep one person as my assistant, and the other two should go attend to other patients."
The other three surgeons exchanged glances a few times, one of them gave a polite nod, while the other two shook their heads helplessly, turned around, and left...
Lin Jie, operating at full efficiency, once again perfectly demonstrated his high efficiency in treating the wounded.
After more than half an hour, the patient's fatal injuries were effectively controlled, and the remaining work was just some simple finishing and suturing.
Lin Jie handed off the follow-up surgical work to his assistant, took two steps back from the operating table, and two well-trained nurses came over to change Lin Jie into a new emergency surgical suit, preparing for the next surgery!
As Lin Jie was getting ready to take over the second surgery, he suddenly heard an anxious shout: "Teacher, teacher!"
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Huanru sitting on an emergency stretcher, performing chest compressions on a patient, while two nurses pushed the emergency stretcher, jogging towards him.
Lin Jie went up to join Fang Huanru, and together on the emergency stretcher, they attended to the rescue of this patient.
After a round of efforts, they finally restored the patient's heartbeat.
At this moment, Lin Jie found all four operating tables were occupied. The head nurse in charge of coordination informed him that there were no available operating rooms elsewhere in the hospital.
With no other choice, Lin Jie had the nurse bring over a surgical trolley and prepared to perform an exploratory laparotomy on the patient to stop his internal abdominal bleeding.
At that moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly approached, coming close to Lin Jie and urgently said, "Expert Lin, it's an emergency, come with me quickly, there's a critically injured person who needs you!"
Lin Jie glanced at him, finding him familiar.
Lin Jie only vaguely knew that this person was a leader at the hospital, but wasn't clear about his specific name or responsibilities.
He did not stop his actions, steadily making an incision on the patient's abdomen with a scalpel.
As soon as the abdomen was cut open, a fountain of blood gushed out, spraying much onto Lin Jie and also splattering the worried-looking middle-aged man.
Lin Jie immediately reached in, sensing possible bleeding sites, and said to the middle-aged man, "This person is also seriously injured, I can't leave at the moment!"
With that said, he paid no more attention to the middle-aged man, focusing all his attention on saving the patient in front of him.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man moved closer to Lin Jie, lowered his voice, and hurriedly said, "Expert Lin, to be honest, that's a friend of mine's child, he's really badly injured."
"If you could save him, everything else would be easy to discuss…"
Lin Jie understood the implication, which was nothing more than a generous reward.
But agreeing to him would likely mean that the current patient...
Lin Jie said in a deep voice, "Once I take on a surgery, I never leave it halfway, I must first save this person in front of me…"
Nearly an hour later, Lin Jie finally managed to stabilize the patient. When he looked for the middle-aged man, he was nowhere to be seen...
Almost two hours later, in the emergency department hall, Lin Jie treated three more patients, barely getting through this fierce surge of patients.
Starting from the second patient, Fang Huanru, who had been assisting Lin Jie, saw that the doctors and nurses in the hall were no longer in a hurry or looking worried, and even the cleaners began washing away the layer of blood on the floor, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, we finally got through it."
"My admiration for you has doubled... ah!"
Fang Huanru suddenly shouted in surprise, "Teacher, it's almost four in the afternoon, your military recognition ceremony..."
Lin Jie looked up to see that the clock on the wall showed the time as 3:46 PM.
He nonchalantly said, "Saving lives is more important than a recognition ceremony!"
"If I miss the ceremony, will the military take back the recognition? If that's the case, I'd be quite pleased."
Lin Jie looked around and asked, "Where is everyone? Why are you the only one here?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Huanru also looked around and said curiously, "Where is everyone? I was with them outside taking care of the lightly injured."
"Hmm... Maybe they've all gone to visit Xiao Ganghao's mother!"
This guess seemed likely!
Suddenly, a broadcast sounded in the emergency department hall, "Expert Lin Jie, please proceed to the inpatient building first-floor hall immediately! Expert Lin Jie, please proceed to the inpatient building first-floor hall immediately..."
What has happened now?
Hearing the broadcast, Lin Jie hurriedly tore off his surgical gown and, together with Fang Huanru, quickly made his way through the patient transfer passage on the first floor to the inpatient building.
After walking twenty meters and making a turn, the view opened up, revealing the entire first-floor hall of the inpatient building to Lin Jie.
He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
In the hall, about a hundred people had gathered, including Elder Fu, Ye Peihua, Meng Yang, Pan Xinli, An Weize, An Kemeng, Lin Miao, and other students of his.
The majority of these people were familiar friends and acquaintances of Lin Jie.
At this moment, all these people were smiling at Lin Jie.
Standing beside Meng Yang, who was wearing a general's uniform, was another general who, from his rank, was a lieutenant general.
With a sense of speculation, Lin Jie walked a bit closer and asked, "What is this?"
An Weize smiled and said, "Ah Jie, with such a big incident at the hospital, we all knew you couldn't possibly leave. So we agreed with the military to hold the recognition ceremony here at the hospital."
The lieutenant general, accompanied by Meng Yang, stepped forward and said, "Comrade Lin Jie, hello."
"For a military doctor, wherever there are patients, that's their frontline and battlefield."
"I am Qin Hanghai, representing the Military Commission on this occasion, along with General Meng, to conduct this special frontline recognition ceremony for you."
