Chapter 144: Chapter 0139: Perforation of Parietal Peritoneum

The two of them rested under a tree by the road.

“When we go back later, you can drive. Take it slow, and the key is not to panic. Especially when there are many cars and people, you need to anticipate the traffic conditions in advance. In case of an emergency, just make sure not to mix up the gas and the brake. When you were driving earlier, you switched between the gas and the brake quite freely. After driving enough, it becomes second nature.”

Xiao Su summarized Yang Ping’s driving from earlier, drawing from her own years of driving experience to instruct Yang Ping.

A couple nearby seemed to have rested enough. They got into their Honda SUV. Before getting in the car, the man didn’t forget to glance in this direction.

Yang Ping and Xiao Su took a break for a bit. Xiao Su checked the car’s battery. The charge was sufficient, it was fully charged when they left.

The two of them drove around the university town a few more times. When Xiao Su thought they had practiced enough, she took Yang Ping to practice parking in reverse.

Parallel parking, angle parking, perpendicular parking, Xiao Su found parking spots for all of these and let Yang Ping practice each one. She passed every item.

Yang Ping learned quickly. She mastered each item with just one try. After practicing a few times, she even had her own insights.

Once they had practiced enough, they found a buffet hot pot restaurant according to the GPS.

The restaurant was quite popular and not expensive – a hundred yuan per person. The two of them found a booth by the window.

A yin yang hot pot was brought to them by a waiter. Yang Ping and Xiao Su picked many ingredients. They were hungry and ready to feast.

“You learn so quickly. You practiced until you were so skilled in just one afternoon.” Xiao Su put ingredients into the hot pot.

Yang Ping felt a bit embarrassed: “I was supposed to accompany you shopping. But after shopping a bit, it turned into you accompanying me driving.”

Xiao Su cleverly said: “We have been shopping for several hours, and I think that’s enough. Look, we’ve done shopping, and now we are having a meal. Today is indeed a happy day!”

After Xiao Su filled up the hot pot with ingredients, Yang Ping covered the pot. They waited for the soup to boil.

Xiao Su thoughtfully said: “You have a consult coming up on Tuesday. You should take my car. After we get back to the hospital, I’ll fully charge the car. Our Hospital parking lot has an area full of charging stations. When you go to the Adjunct First Hospital, their underground parking area on the third floor in Zone E has charging stations.”

“You are very familiar with the Adjunct First?” Yang Ping realized she had a clear understanding, down to where the charging stations are.

Xiao Su nodded her head: “For those who own an electric car, they pretty much know where all the charging stations in G City are. After all, charging stations are not as common as gas stations, it’s quite unavoidable to feel some ‘range anxiety’.”

“This all-electric car feels like a mobile phone, which is quite interesting. When it gets back home, it’s not refueling, but charging. After all, I am going to get a purely electric one, environmentally friendly, healthy, and quiet.” Yang Ping became interested in electric cars.

“You should also opt for this model. It comes in black, and has several other colors available.” Xiao Su recommended.

Yang Ping shook her head like a wobble doll: “No way, no way. This is too expensive. I would rather buy a BYD. Those are domestic.”

“I heard that the battery safety of BYD cars is better, and it could pass the needle-prick test.” Xiao Su kept up with the topic.

The two of them chatted and ate, from daily life, bringing the conversation to surgical operations. Xiao Su asked about some professional knowledge of her own that she didn’t understand, like the use of certain instruments, or why certain steps were required. Yang Ping patiently answered, thinking that she really likes to learn, and is truly considering the surgical steps in order to better assist the Chief Surgeon.

After they finished all the ingredients, Yang Ping asked Xiao Su what else she wanted. He was about to get up to pick more ingredients.

Suddenly, there was some commotion in the restaurant. Yang Ping turned his head to look. Following his gaze, Xiao Su also looked over.

Someone was in trouble. Inside the hall, a woman in her twenties had collapsed.

Yang Ping and Xiao Su immediately rushed over to see what happened.

“She was just fine, then suddenly her face went pale and fell down.”

The woman’s boyfriend was at a loss, frantically seeking help from everyone, then he took out his phone to dial 120, stuttering as he spoke.

“Excuse me, let me through. I am a doctor.” A middle-aged man separated the crowd and rushed in.

He quickly assessed the situation, started chest compressions below the breastbone. His technique was extremely skilled, a kind of skill that could only come from many years of long-term training, not just basic training.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The CPR process followed the newest guidelines exactly. After a few seconds examining consciousness, breathing, and carotid pulse, he started compressions, then opened the airway.

The “head tilt-chin lift” technique was used to open the airway. He checked the mouth to see if there was anything that needed clearing, then he performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation twice, followed by another chest compression sequence- a 30-2 ratio of compressions to rescue breaths.

This person must be a doctor, and probably an emergency physician or an ICU doctor. His resuscitation was decisive and smooth, clearly derived from excellent professional training.

Yang Ping also squeezed in, kneeled on one knee on the ground, checking her carotid artery and nostrils, checking the skin on her neck and limbs. There was a weak pulse in her carotid artery, her heart was still beating. Under these circumstances, chest compressions were completely fine. Compressions would help the weakened heart pump blood, not just laying a hand when the heart had completely stopped beating.

There were some hives on the skin, an allergic reaction! This was an allergic reaction, not sudden cardiac death. The allergic reaction caused acute laryngeal edema, leading to suffocation.

When Yang Ping first obtained the system, he underwent emergency training. Then later, he received more systemic and intensive examination training. He was confident in his judgment.

“Allergic reaction! Acute laryngeal edema! The airway needs to be opened immediately!” Yang Ping calmly reminded the middle-aged doctor.
