Chapter 180: Ambulance siren
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Zhang Fan was so nervous that even his feet were sweating! It would be no exaggeration to say that one death would lead to the death of another. Any incident that occurred here would be something major. But as a doctor, should he act at this time or not? This really needed his analysis and consideration!

If he didn’t make a lateral incision, it was likely that the patient’s perineum would tear and cause major bleeding, also bringing great harm to her baby. But if he made a lateral incision, the fact that he was using a vegetable knife which hadn’t been medically disinfected would definitely cause the patient to become infected. There was also no anesthesia, so the degree of pain might cause the pregnant woman to go into shock! This was truly a difficult problem. Just as Zhang Fan was about to make up his mind, he heard a sound that he used to loathe: the sound of an ambulance!

Zhang Fan’s hands lost their energy as he said something to the other women in the room that they didn’t understand. “This is the most wondrous music in the world!”

Outside, the restaurant owner was already beginning to issue red packets. Although she was rich, she wouldn’t be powerful enough to invite over a television station that was a sub-provincial government unit. Since the television station was here today, this was a great chance for her restaurant. She definitely wanted these people to talk more positive things about her restaurant in the news!

“Please make way. Hurry! Please make way!” There was far too much of a crowd when the first ambulance arrived with the emergency doctor, nurse, and ambulance driver carrying a stretcher.

When they entered the restaurant’s private room, they saw Zhang Fan sweating profusely while wearing a suit and holding a vegetable knife. He was facing a pregnant woman who was lying on the large round table of the hot pot restaurant. Emergency doctor Little Li almost laughed out loud at the sight. This just seemed to be such a mismatch! “Doctor Zhang, did we arrive perfectly on time?”

“I’ve never missed you so much before!” Zhang Fan exclaimed as he began to put on his gloves. They were both veterans. Although an emergency doctor like Little Li wouldn’t know how to deliver a baby, Zhang Fan was present. Zhang Fan hadn’t said to take the patient to the hospital, and he was the first doctor to see the patient. Zhang Fan was quite famous in the emergency department as well as the surgical department by now.

The nurse and Little Li both began to assist Zhang Fan. The ambulance driver left because he saw that he wasn’t required to lift a stretcher anymore.

“Diluted Lidocaine! Give me a sharp knife! Open the vein channels!” Zhang Fan began to issue commands. He put on a one-time use surgical outfit and placed his right hand against the pregnant woman’s vagina. He used his left hand to pressure the unborn child’s head as the patient underwent contractions, guiding the fetus’ head to slowly descend.

Now that Zhang Fan had the proper medication, disinfection, and assistants, not to mention the baby and the pregnant woman both seemed to be alright, everything truly went well. It was as if the heavens were assisting this mother and child. Although Zhang Fan had yet to open up his gynecology courses in his System, he hadn’t wasted his one month in the gynecology and obstetrics department. He had observed plenty of childbirths and was quite familiar with this by now. Although this was Zhang Fan’s first time ever to personally deliver a baby, it was no problem for him.

The baby’s head started emerging. Zhang Fan used his left hand to pressure the baby’s nose down to the cheek, squeezing out the amniotic fluid and mucus from the baby’s nose and mouth. Zhang Fan then assisted with external rotation so that the baby’s shoulders would simultaneously emerge. He then held on to the baby’s neck and raised it slightly as the baby’s shoulders slowly emerged from the patient’s vagina.

The baby was finally completely born. There was no aspirator, so it wouldn’t be possible to drain the amniotic fluid from the deeper parts of the baby’s oral cavity, but luckily, this was a natural birth, which meant that there wasn’t much amniotic fluid. Zhang Fan gently slapped the baby’s feet. “Please start crying! I truly don’t want to have to taste amniotic fluid and meconium again!”

Zhang Fan truly prayed that this wouldn’t happen again!

The red baby started crying. “Wahh! Wahh! Wahh!”

Everyone outside the restaurant’s private room suddenly fell silent for three seconds when they heard this crying. They then all started clapping their hands. The pregnant woman’s husband had also arrived by this time. This crying sound finally calmed down his nervous heart. He sat down on the ground with no energy left as he wiped away some liquid from his face. Even he didn’t know if that was sweat or tears.

The reporters and cameramen captured everyone’s expressions. At this moment, the second ambulance arrived as well. The obstetrician ran at full speed to the restaurant’s private room, but then saw the baby in Zhang Fan’s hands. The female obstetrician then turned to check the female patient’s condition and heaved a sigh of relief.

“You’re such a natural at obstetrics. You can deliver a baby even while eating hot pot? Come, join our gynecology and obstetrics department!” the obstetrician told Zhang Fan as she began putting on a one-time-use surgical garb as well.

“Haha! I’m wearing a suit underneath this today. It’s so inconvenient. I’ll leave the rest up to you,” Zhang Fan told the obstetrician.

“Sure, go ahead. I’ll wait for the placenta to be discharged. It’s such a pity about your suit!” The obstetrician looked at Zhang Fan’s suit under his one-time-use surgical attire. The suit was completely stained with amniotic fluid and blood, especially with the arms being completely soaked.

When Zhang Fan exited the restaurant’s private room, the restaurant’s guests, the patient’s family members, the reporters, the restaurant owner and employees, and the spectators who’d helped out all quieted down as they looked expectantly at Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan smiled at everyone, and gently announced, “Mother and child are both safe!” Camera flashes instantly lit up everywhere as countless people started applauding him.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” The patient’s husband and parents grabbed Zhang Fan’s hands and kept thanking him profusely.

The still stunned Zhu Bing and Lu Renjia stood together and glanced at each other before both revealing smiles.

“You should give a nickname to the child!” said the patient’s mother.

“That’s right, nickname the child!” the spectators also shouted in approval.

“Oh! Um, I’m really bad at giving names!” Zhang Fan felt really awkward. He hadn’t even considered such a thing before. He had no clue what to do all of a sudden.

“It’s fine. You’re the person who saved both mother and child. You definitely must give the child a nickname.”

“It’s not my work alone. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without everyone’s assistance today. How about we all come up with a name together?”

“You’re our representative! Just come up with a nickname. No need to be humble.” The plump restaurant owner chuckled.

“That’s right! That’s right! Come up with a nickname!”

“Oh! Um, um, um, let’s just nickname the child Little Plump Sheep! This restaurant is a lucky location for this child!” Zhang Fan chuckled awkwardly.

“Haha!” The child’s family members had inscrutable expressions. However, people who laughed easily in the crowd already started laughing out loud at this nickname.

“Very good nickname! Not only is this place a lucky location for this child, this child is also a lucky star for my restaurant. I shall give this child a permanent VIP card. From now on, whenever this child comes to eat at my restaurant, the meal will be free! This child shall be the most venerated guest at my restaurant!” the restaurant owner loudly declared. She then announced to all the people present, “Everyone here, please register your names at the front desk. From now on, anyone who was here today will have a permanent 20% discount when eating here!”

“Nice! Thank you, owner!”

“Haha, you shouldn’t be thanking me, you should be thanking our Little Plump Sheep instead!”

Oh! Zhang Fan felt like something was off about all this.

The TV stations still hadn’t finished their mission here yet. They had already interviewed Lu Renjia, Zhu Bing, Zhang Fan, and Tang Jingjing by now. It was a definite that interviews with most of the general populace would be deleted before making it to the television. It was likely that only these four interviews would make the cut. However, thanks to the restaurant owner’s numerous red packets, the TV stations would definitely make sure to mention Little Plump Sheep restaurant’s name many times. The reporters were all thinking about how to write this article now.

Since both ambulances had arrived by now, along with a professional obstetrician and nurse midwife, Zhang Fan no longer needed to do anything. He adamantly refused to accept any red packets from the patient’s family members! He then escaped the hot pot restaurant together with Tang Jingjing and the others in his original group.

Tang Jingjing chuckled as she asked the three others, “What should we do? We can’t eat at Little Plump Sheep today anymore! So what then?”

Zhu Bing was no longer busy being stunned, since he no longer needed to worry about compensating the restaurant. “How about we go eat at E Restaurant instead? We really should celebrate today!”

“Another hot pot restaurant!? I don’t dare to eat hot pot anymore!” Lu Renjia was rather nervous about this idea.

“How about you all go eat without me? Just look at me. I really need to change my clothes.” Zhang Fan pointed at all the blood on his suit.

“We must drink some wine tonight after what just happened. Go change your clothes. We’ll wait for you at E Restaurant,” Tang Jingjing told him.
