Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

[POV Bai Chang]

Last night Zhang Wei helped Xiao Wei fix our dinners. I am truly grateful to him for that.

Today morning, I have a lot on my plate. But before that, I want my in-laws to leave the Villa premise. This would give me much more liberty to work on my kind of stuff.

I walk towards the dining table,

"Good Morning Mother, Father," I greeted them.

"Morning my dear, how are you doing today?" Mother Hu asked.

"I am fine, thank you for asking," I replied.

"We would leave for the Hu Residency after breakfast as we have a few tasks to do," this time it was Father Hu who spoke up conveniently stopping Mother Hu to speak anything.

"Ohh"

"We are-" Mother Hu tried to speak up

"We are going, I received a call from one of my colleges this morning, its a bit of an urgent situation." Father Hu said solemnly.

"Okay, I will pack your dresses for the events. Is it alright?" I asked.

"Sure" finally there was some softness to his features.

I didn't drag the conversation anymore and finished my dinner as fast as I could.

By nine in the morning, the Hu family left. Xiao Wei stayed behind this time.

'Now it is time to get down to do proper business.'

"Zhang Wei," I called out.

After a few minutes, he was in front of me. "Zhang Wei, thank you for last night."

He looked puzzled over my gratitude.

"Last night you handled the Hu family pretty well. As well as your last conversation with them, late at night. Thank you for standing up and letting them know it for clear; what they did right or wrong," I said.

"You knew about it?" he looked surprised.

"Anything within one mile range of this property inside as well as outside are all covered under my meticulous third eye." 

"So why did you hollered me down, early in the morning?" he asked.

"It is time to hunt our enemy and provide them with retribution."

"Huh"

"First let us take another look at Beta's condition. Ask the squad to report in the outhouse."

"Okay"

***

Inside the basement private hospital-

I looked at Beta's wound all over again, Zhang Wei was beside me and the squad was waiting by the corridor.

His wounds are a tad bit on the serious extreme of the injury and pain spectrum. Yesterday I couldn't take any measures but today, it is time to relieve my subordinate from his pain.

I walked towards another clear room and opened a cupboard. From it I picked a few bottles and gauges as well as cotton swab sticks and headed towards Beta.

"Okay now let me see what I can do?"

Beta was kept in the ICU room.

CU is one of the most critically functioning operational environments in a hospital.

Every ICU in a hospital has a different environment that will reflect the specialist medical and surgical procedures they perform.

Most ICUs are fairly large sterile areas with a high concentration of specialised, technical and monitoring equipment needed to care for critically ill patients.

The ICU environment can be confronting for some patients and visitors who may find the activity, sounds, machines, tubes and monitors intimidating.

It can be a frightening and uncertain time for you, family and friends to see people you care about being monitored and supported by machines. 

In ICU you will see many patients connected to a heart monitor, others will be supported with breathing assistance from artificial ventilators, be on dialysis machines and receive a variety of intravenous infusions via tubes and drips.

This really was unavoidable as yesterday the Hu family was here, so anything out of line will bring more heat from them. And for the time being, I want to avoid the heat and the accompanying questionnaire.

Now mostly ICUs require critical care i.e. Critical care (also known as Intensive Care) is the multi-professional healthcare speciality that cares for patients with acute, life-threatening illness or injury. Most of us will experience a critical illness or injury, either as the patient, family member or friend of a patient.

Critical care can be provided wherever life is threatened - at the scene of an accident, in an ambulance, in a hospital emergency room, or in the operating room. Most critical care today, however, is delivered in highly specialized intensive care units (ICU). Various terminologies like Critical Care Unit (CCU), Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU), Coronary Care Unit (CCU) may be used to describe such services in a hospital.

Critical care is provided by multi-professional teams of highly experienced and professional physicians, nurses, respiratory care technicians, pharmacists and other allied health professionals who use their unique expertise, ability to interpret important therapeutic information, access to highly sophisticated equipment and the services of support personnel to provide care that leads to the best outcome for the patient.

Patients are rarely admitted directly to the critical care unit. Rather, they are usually admitted from the emergency room, or surgical area where they are first given care and stabilized. The continuum of critical care begins at the moment of illness or injury and continues throughout the patient's hospitalization, treatment and subsequent recovery.

Here, in my hospital, I went all digital or AI. So all night 'Jiffy' played the role of an intensivist, An intensivist (also known as Critical Care Specialist) is a doctor with subspecialty training, or equivalent qualifications, in critical care. An intensivist directs the care of critically ill and injured patients and works in collaboration with other health care professionals necessary for the care of patients in critical care units.

So all night till this morning, 'Jiffy' jotted down every single output that could be measured from a human body.

I walk towards the bed, there on the Beta laid unconscious, in pain.

My heart was aflame seeing all this. I swear I will make the culprit pay with his or her blood and life.

I first remove his gauge from his shoulder. The wound still had an angry red colour and swollen. The knife enters the skin at a shallow angle, the saw edge comes into contact with the skin giving rise to excoriated 'slashes', and a 'V' shape can be made where the knife is partially removed and moved within the wound. This relative movement occurs often in knife attacks which are dynamic, and the victim, attacker and knife may move relative to each other at any stage of the attack, giving rise to difficulties in interpretation and reconstruction of the events leading to the wounds under investigation.

Each wound was deeply etched in my mind. I suppress my temper and with steady hands remove the stitch. Then I made a fresh wound on the same, though not too deep. Quickly I clean the dripping blood using cotton and pressed it on the wound. Next, I took a long stem swab and spray the cotton tip with a gel-like substance. Then I quickly spread it evenly on the cut. 

Then the wound starts to heal quickly at a visible rate around the cut. I then shake a can and spray the concoction on the exposed wound. I pull up a phase-contrast microscope and observe the wound under real-time. I had customised an entire set of microscopes for my use during the past few months. 

Phase-contrast microscopy is an optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in the light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image. Phase shifts themselves are invisible but become visible when shown as brightness variations.

I have jacked up the output image on a different screen. As I observe his injury under the microscope, on the screen I could see rapid reintegration of various tissue structures the shoulder ligaments were forming new cells under external cataclysm. 

"What is going on? How is this possible?" beside me Zhang Wei was gawking at the screen.

"Wait- WHAT!" he exclaimed, he couldn't get hold of his reality. The wounds were visibly closing up after fifteen minutes. 

An injury that should take more than a few months to heal was practically closing up after just quarter of an hour.

"Relax these are tested and proven, confidential medical research results," I replied.

Next, I quickly move on to the next step, i.e. I spray the quick heal fast action spray all over his overall small wounds.

Then I observe each and every one of these wounds under the microscope. I am satisfied as they show appropriate results.

'Phew! All those months of research and recreation of Star Time System Medical Practices didn't go to waste.'
