Chapter 5 — The Truth in the Emergency Room

As soon as the door closed, the child's heart rate suddenly dropped sharply. Hua Due's voice changed. "Miss Tham, the heart rate is still fifty!" I picked up the laryngoscope. "Prepare for intubation, adrenaline." "Hurry!" Tieu Tran's voice trembled. "Miss Tham, the family is causing trouble out there again, asking you to make sure the child is still alive!" I raised my head, my eyes cold to the extreme. "Tell them, either sign the surgery consent form, or..." Before I could finish, the door to the emergency room was already blocked. We push hard. Chu Tue rushed in, holding the phone in his hand, crying loudly as he turned around. "Doctor Tham, now you have to say in front of the camera that if anything happens to my son, you will take full responsibility!" The emergency room was silent for a second. The monitor is still sounding the alarm. The child lies on the bed, his face gray and white. Chu Tue raised the phone, her hand shaking violently. "You say it!" "If my son died, it's because you failed to press him yesterday!" Hua Due was so angry that her face turned red. "The family is out! It's an emergency now!" Chu Tue cried and took a half step back but still refused to leave. "Don't you dare deceive me!" I gave the laryngoscope to Hua Due. "Continue to prepare." Then I walked forward. in front of Chu Tue. I grabbed her phone and put it on the tray next to her. "Listen carefully. Your son is in shock right now." "If you wait another minute, the danger will increase a bit." "You can record a video or pursue responsibility." "But not now." Chu Tue cried until he couldn't breathe. "I'm afraid..." "If you're afraid, sign." "Sign the consent form for surgery, sign the consent form for emergency treatment." "Even if you don't sign, I will still handle it according to the situation." emergency situation, but don't continue to block the door." She was stunned by my yelling. Deputy Director Luong quickly ran in and handed over the consent form. "Sign, sign quickly!" Chu Tue's hand was shaking so much that he couldn't write. Her husband grabbed the pen and signed. I turned around. “Intubation.” After the airway was opened, the child's oxygen saturation slowly increased. Head of the Department of General Surgery, Tran Kien Binh, rushed in. "What's the condition?" I quickly said: "After accidentally swallowing a foreign object, the patient had abdominal pain, vomiting, signs of peritoneal irritation, peritoneal fluid and shock." "High possibility of intestinal perforation." Director Tran's face changed. "Pushed into the operating room." I said: "On the way, continue to give fluids, use vasopressors and prepare blood." Director Khau stood next to the crowd and intervened. in. “Is it possible that it was caused by the Heimlich maneuver yesterday?” I turned to look at him. “Shut up.” His face stiffened. I didn't show any respect. "The Heimlich maneuver cannot puncture the intestines." "But if the child swallows a lot of magnets, they can attract each other and damage the intestinal wall." Chu Tue suddenly raised her head. "Magnets?" I looked at her. "Do you have magnet toys in your house?" Her lips trembled. "There... there is a box." I asked: "Is it missing?" She was stunned. "I don't know..." I stared at her. "Yesterday I asked you if the child had swallowed anything else." "You said no." Her face turned pale. "I... I thought it just swallowed that little wheel... I don't know!" Director Tran said in a deep voice: "Surgery first, stop arguing." The child was pushed away. Chu Tue's legs were weak, she fell to the ground. "What should I do... What should I do..." Director Khau's forehead was full of sweat. Deputy Director Luong looked at me and said in a low voice: "Doctor Tham, it's hard for you to follow." I took off my gloves. "I have completed the emergency treatment. After that, the Department of General Surgery will be in charge." Deputy Director Luong was stunned. "But your family only believes in you." I looked at him. "Yesterday they did not believe." His face became unsightly. "Doctor Tham, now is not the time to say those things.

angry words." "I don't speak in anger." I said: "I can help, but first I have to confirm a few things." Director Khau immediately became alert. "What do you want to do again?" I said: "Extract the surveillance camera." "Extract the camera in the emergency room yesterday and the camera in the meeting room of the Medical Affairs Department today." "Seal the medical records, seal the posting history on the hospital's public account." Director Khau's face changed drastically. resounded. "Tham Tri Ha, you can't keep your head high!" I stared at him. "What are you afraid of?" "I'm afraid you'll cause chaos in the hospital!" "The hospital is already in chaos." I pointed towards the operating room. "Currently the child is lying on the operating table." "Yesterday you didn't allow a re-examination, didn't investigate the truth but quickly forced me to admit my mistake." "If the child doesn't make it today, who are you going to let take the blame?" His eyes looked at him. dodge. "No one says that." I laughed coldly. "You don't say it, but you always do it." Deputy Director Luong was silent for a few seconds. "Can seal medical records and cameras." Director Khau was impatient. "Director Luong!" Deputy Director Luong shouted loudly: "Shut up!"
