Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Ahead, a group of workers gathered in front of a yet-to-be-completed building, marking the likely location of the patient.

Whenever someone gets injured or sick outside, there's always a crowd watching. Everyone wants to help; everyone is curious.

The ambulance siren startled the onlookers, and people quickly made way for the arriving medical personnel.

"Doctor Li, what do we need to bring off the vehicle?" The nurse asked Li Chengyuan before getting off, as the condition of the injured was unclear.

"We might need to give an injection, bring an oxygen tube as well," Li Chengyuan said, gracefully leaping off the ambulance, as calm and composed as a deity.

Is the patient's injury minor? Just looking at Teacher Li, it seemed indeed to be minor, so minor that a little oxygen would suffice. In reality, this was far from the truth.

Xie Wanying and Yue Wentong squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and were dumbfounded upon seeing the injured person. Had Teacher Li misled them in a roundabout way?

This wasn't a minor patient; this was as severe as it could get.

An older worker crouching beside the victim, possibly one of the site managers, turned to introduce the doctors to the circumstances of the injury: "He fell from a scaffolding about ten meters high."

Ten meters high? The medical personnel looked up at the towering scaffolding against the night sky, which now appeared sinister and terrifying, much like a guillotine. Falling from such a height, equivalent to three or four floors, puts a life at great risk.

Unsurprisingly, even with the blue safety helmet, the young man in his twenties hit the ground and the helmet cracked; there was bleeding on his forehead. What truly alarmed the doctors was the fluid leaking from the man's nostrils was not usual blood.

With simple nasal injuries, nosebleeds typically involve bright red blood, unlike the pale red fluid flowing from this patient's nose, which wasn't mixed with mucus but was entirely pale red. At this moment, the pale blood didn't indicate lesser severity; rather, it confirmed other bodily fluids had mixed with the blood, causing a lighter color. The nose connects the esophagus and stomach and the airways to the lungs, as discussed previously. Another critical anatomical point of the nose is that it is adjacent to the skull and brain.

In healthy individuals, the nose is adjacent to but does not connect with the brain, separated by bone. If they become connected, it means these bony barriers are shattered.

"Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea," Yue Wentong exclaimed, taking a sharp breath. Having just rotated out from neurosurgery, he clearly understood what this symptom meant for the patient.

Xie Wanying was solemn; falling from ten meters and landing like this was foreseeable. As this was an unfinished construction site, there was little chance of anything like leaves to cushion the fall, only hard sand and soil.

Fortunately, people at the site had some knowledge; they hadn't moved the injured person recklessly but waited for doctors to arrive. This was the proper way to call for an ambulance. Undoubtedly, unlike the previous high school case, there seemed to be an expert directing the emergency response this time.

Li Chengyuan was the first to approach the injured.

Xie Wanying listened as the class leader beside her mumbled to Teacher Li, "Monster."

The cool-headed class leader grumbled about Teacher Li, indicating how badly they had been misled. Knowing the condition of the injured person but not telling them sooner. Especially for the class leader, just out of neurosurgery, it was deeply distressing.
