Chapter 272: Never declining to shoulder responsibility

People in the border province, especially those who were older, had a really descriptive analogy for motorcycles. They referred to motorcycles as meat buns on wheels! The border province was sparsely populated compared to the rest of China, so land was more spacious and more people used motorcycles back in the day. Chinese people in the border province also loved to drink alcohol. Shanghai’s Xingfu 120 motorcycle brand had seen countless of its riders die over the years. Since these youngsters were driving at recklessly high speeds while also high on marijuana, it wasn’t strange at all for them to have caused such a major accident.

A second ambulance arrived from the hospital. Five police cars also arrived. Since this was such a major accident, it even gained the attention of Chasu City’s highest-ranking government leaders. Chasu City’s leader of the Bureau of Transportation also arrived. The emergency doctors searched for survivors, while the forensic doctors searched for the dead. Many of the policemen directly vomited upon seeing this scene. This scene was far too disgusting. It was likely that many of these people would be unable to eat meat for a while!

“Hurry! This person is still breathing and has a heartbeat! Carefully and slowly separate this motorcycle wheel and the trash wheelbarrow. Don’t remove the wheel from this person’s body!” A veteran attending physician from the emergency department was in charge here of saving whoever the survivors might be.

“There’s another survivor here, Doctor! Hurry! She’s still breathing!” A policeman discovered the middle school girl who was by the pondside. She had been truly lucky.

Although she had been tossed from the motorcycle like a rag doll, she had crashed through a dense thicket of trees. These were all scenic trees, slightly more than one meter tall and really dense. This had helped to mitigate most of the impact, which was how she remained alive. Her condition was quite similar to Old Yang’s.

The iron wheelbarrow handle was sticking directly into Old Yang’s abdomen. The iron handle had also split open from the impact while sticking in his abdomen. As for the teenaged girl, she was wearing a leather jacket and light cotton underwear in order to appear sexy. She hadn’t even buttoned up the jacket, wanting to reveal more skin. As a result, the high speed at which she was tossed into the thicket of trees meant that tree branches had penetrated her abdomen as if they were sharp knives. The girl had been lucky, truly lucky, as none of the tree branches were very thick. Any slightly thicker tree branch would have killed her!

Both her legs had landed into the pond. Luckily, the water resistance had also helped to mitigate the impact. Even so, both of her legs were now broken with comminuted fractures. Although she had been wearing a motorcycle helmet, the helmet was of shoddy quality, and it had shattered completely from the impact. The helmet’s plexiglass mask shattered to become sharp glass knives which all stuck themselves into her face! Although the tree branches had mitigated a large amount of the impact, she had still been thrown at far too great of a speed. After she broke through the dense tree thicket, she had landed on the ground chest-first, causing her rib bones to shatter!

The head emergency doctor at the scene immediately went over to check her pulse. “Hurry! Stretcher, and raise her horizontally! You must be absolutely careful and lay her flat!” Old Yang and the teenaged girl were both taken to Chasu City Hospital in separate ambulances.

Old Yang and the teenaged girl both had incredibly similar injuries. Both of them had a collapsed chest, a large number of foreign objects penetrating into the abdomen, and shattered legs, although Old Yang had only his right leg shattered, while the teenaged girl had both her legs shattered.

Also, the teenaged girl had one more injured location compared to Old Yang. Her face was filled with glass shards! Luckily, none of the glass shards had gone into her eyes!

This was such a gigantic accident! The scene was far too gory. All of Chasu City’s highest-ranking government leaders were astonished and had their attention on this matter, so a great deal of importance was placed on dealing with this incident. Firstly, all police in the city were woken up, even though it was still very early in the morning. The hospital leadership were also all woken up, and they rushed to Chasu City Hospital.

Since the government was placing great importance on this matter, everyone hurried as fast as they possibly could. The teenaged girl’s family members were also notified. Old Yang was rather pitiful as he had no family to notify at all.

At Chasu City Hospital, Superintendent Ouyang was informed that many people had been injured, and that many people had also died. She was worried that there wouldn’t be enough doctors on duty, so she immediately ordered that every single surgeon of Chasu City Hospital gather at the hospital immediately for an emergency. It was as if she sounded a military horn to call for the start of battle. All of the surgeons, who lived all over, started hurrying to the hospital even though it was still completely dark out!

“What’s the matter?” The wife of an attending physician in the cardiothoracic department drowsily noticed that her husband was putting on his clothes.

“There’s been a major incident. The hospital is summoning all surgeons!” he swiftly explained to his wife as he finished putting his clothes on.

“Oh! Be careful on the way. How about I accompany you? It’s so dark out.” His drowsy wife instantly woke up! She was worried for her husband.

“Just go back to sleep!” The cardiothoracic surgeon immediately left without saying anything else as he had finished putting on his clothes!

But, how was she supposed to sleep!? The doctor’s wife just stared at the ceiling. Although she wasn’t worried that something would happen to her husband, she was still unable to sleep! Similar scenes occurred in many doctors’ homes.
