Capítulo 53: 53 - Qivi
At the Qinbei's Hospital, the maintenance staff was busy unpacking boxes and preparing for the 30th Anniversary celebration.
There were red banners hanging across the gates and an assortment of lanterns around the hospital. At the front courtyard, the staff lined the grass with an outline the stage. In a week, several local leaders would be making an appearance, and news reporters were invited to film the event.
While the staff was busy decorating, the medical staff was busy dealing with the aftermath of New Year's Eve. There were a lot of people coming in with alcohol poisoning.
Doctor Hao got the short end of the stick and ended up in charge of the ER during one of the busiest times of the year. He didn't even have Nurse Yuen to help him. Luckily, the good nurse had the foresight to stock the supplies for the week. Although it wasn't as big as Lunar New Years, the time between Christmas and New Years was increasingly popular for people to go out drinking and partying.
22 hours into the shift, Doctor Hao was becoming increasingly delirious. He was laughing like a crazed maniac and making bizarre jokes to a comatose man. Even some of the residents were avoiding him.
At 7 am, he noticed Li Yun heading into the ER.
"Aha, Doctor Li! Why are you here?" Doctor Hao asked as he dragged his feet toward the entrance. "Isn't today your day off?"
"I went out to visit friends and family during the weekend, so I might as well work on a lively Monday morning," Li Yun replied.
He returned to his parent's apartment on Friday, spent time with Rouxi on Saturday, partied with his friends on New Years Eve, and decided that he didn't want to be at home on New Years.
After a few weeks of studying Qivi, there were still a lot of things he had to study.
The cardiovascular system was connected to every part of the body except for the cornea. Unfortunately, that was also a limitation. Just because he was able to see the cardiovascular system like a 4D model, it didn't mean much if he didn't understand what he was looking at.
Other than the heart, he didn't have a complete view of the other organs. He had to rely on anatomical knowledge of every veins, arteries and capillaries to discern the location of the organs. Otherwise, it would simply look like tree roots.
The rete venosum and subpapillary network near the outer layer of the body supplied blood to the skin, so it was easy to tell where the skin was located. The shape and pattern of organs could also be deduced by the layout of the blood vessels.
"You're a strange one Doctor Li!" Doctor Hao finally spoke as he reached for Li Yun shoulder and steadied his weight.
"Doctor Hao, go take a break, I'll take over," Li Yun suggested after seeing the sorry state that Doctor Hao was in.
Doctor Hao felt relieved, he could finally take a break. On that thought, an ambulance arrived. Although the worst part of the night was over, there were still people calling for ambulances in the early morning.
Doctor Hao nodded at Li Yun to take charge and crashed by a nearby bed in the ER.
The EMT pushed an unconscious woman into the ER. A friend was following closely from behind, but her eyes were a bit hazy. They were dressed in tight and expensive party dresses, so it was obvious that they were out partying all night. As they were walking home, one of them collapsed. The friend called the ambulance, but she was also in rough shape. At least she was conscious enough to call.
Li Yun immediately placed an oxygen mask over the unconscious woman.
"Prepare the dialysis machine," Li Yun ordered the nurse.
"Is she going to be okay?" Her friend asked.
"Her alcohol level is pretty high, we'll need to treat her with dialysis," Li Yun replied.
Before Li Yun could continue, he noticed that the friend's face didn't look any better. The friend grabbed onto her mouth, feeling sudden discomfort in the chest and stomach.
Li Yun quickly ran to grab a small trash bin and hurled it by the friend, who then proceeded to vomit into the trash bin. There wasn't much content other than a mixture of expensive mixed drinks, which had decomposed into a dangerous substance called acetaldehyde.
Li Yun held the friend to stabilize her. Her alcohol content was lower than her friend, but she had an even bigger issue.
Qivi had a very useful zoom function. It required a lot of energy, but not as much as looking into the other person's dantian.
Although he could only zoom into the cellular state for 10 minutes before feeling drained, he only needed a few seconds to analyze the blood.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Li Yun asked the friend.
"Look doc, you're a good looking guy, but not the time to ask," the friend looked a bit of a mess. Although flattering, she wasn't in the mood to get hit on.
Li Yun gave out an exasperated sigh. "I'm just wondering because you're four weeks pregnant."
Li Yun didn't usually need Qivi to confirm a person's pregnancy as there were pulse pattern classical doctors could recognize in pregnant women. However, the woman was a bit intoxicated, so her pulse pattern was a mess. He had to use Qivi to detect hCG in her blood.
During the past few weeks, he had been reviewing the different cellular appearance of bacteria, organisms and viruses. Despite reading a lot of books, he had to look through them again to ingrain the cellular structure of every possible cell in the bloodstream. With only 10 minutes usage a day, the quicker he recognized the cell, the better.
"If you want to keep the baby, don't drink again," Li Yun warned the friend.
"Doc, are you serious?" Her face looked horrified. She was only nineteen.
"You can go to the obstetrician to confirm, the nurse will take you," Li Yun suggested.
He could tell she wasn't expecting it. She backed away a little, still in bit of denial. As the nurse approached them, she agreed to go to the obstetrician. Li Yun could already guessed that she was planning an abortion.
"Can you look after her, doc?" she asked.
Li Yun nodded. Although the two friends were irresponsible, at least they have each other.
Li Yun focused back on the unconscious woman. The resident and nurse lifted her onto a bed, and Li Yun inserted a non-cuffed tunneled catheter into her internal jugular vein by the neck and hooked it to the dialysis machine.
"After two hours, give her a blood test," Li Yun told the nurse.
The nurse nodded. Although she was used to following Li Yun orders, she was amazed by how quickly he had determined to use dialysis rather than using the IV drip. Li Yun could make quick judgment before, but he wasn't always quick to perform emergency procedures unless everything was confirmed.
After Li Yun finished taking care of the unconscious friend, he checked on the other patients Doctor Hao had admitted earlier. They were all recovering slowly.
At around noon, the delivery man arrived with packages for everyone. The nurse sorted through the mail and found a large box for Li Yun.
"Doctor Li, the materials you ordered have arrived," said the nurse.
Li Yun thanked the nurse and carried the box into the resident's suite. Li Yun looked at the rotational atherectomy kit and the disposals he spent 25k yuan on. It was enough to fit a suitcase, but it was better to put the kit in his car for emergency. With his ability, he should be able to help out in an emergency situation, but only as a last resort.
