When the Doctor Uses A Hack

The lively chatter during dinner was suddenly interrupted by a raucous noise from outside!

"Is this 120? Yes, yes, yes, my child is choking on something! Help, we're at Jinyang Restaurant!"

A commotion ensued, and Chen Cang's complexion instinctively changed as he pushed away his chair and said, "Dad, I'll step out for a moment!"

Having said that, he walked out!

Meanwhile, Chen Jianshan, Chen Dahai, and others heard the noise and moved towards the outside.

In the neighboring private room, chaos had already broken out!

A three-year-old child was there, face turning blue, lips cyanotic, anguishly clutching at his throat, gasping for breath and unable to catch it!

At that moment, Chen Cang swiftly realized what was happening!

Food had entered the airway, causing an acute blockage!

To put it simply, the child was choking!

This could happen when eating or drinking, to varying degrees.

Normally, when someone chokes, the body will reflexively induce coughing to begin self-rescue!

But these are mild cases; if you can cough it up, it means the airway is still clear, suffering only from a slight foreign body airway obstruction, and the choking matter can be expelled, allowing for self-rescue!

However!

If a severe obstruction occurs and a serious foreign body airway blockage takes place, not to mention coughing, not even air can flow out—essentially, it's suffocation!

This was an extremely dangerous moment.

Generally speaking, children are the most common group to suffer from serious airway blockages because they are often not careful when eating, easily distracted, talking, laughing, or even roughhousing!

Moreover, a child's airway is narrower, so they are more susceptible to obstruction!

Never underestimate such blockages, as a severe one can have a mortality rate of over sixty-six percent. Before an ambulance arrives, suffocation and cardiac arrest can occur, and death can happen soon after!

At this critical moment, Chen Cang didn't care about anything else. Seeing the entire private room in disarray, he ran straight in!

"I am a doctor, please make way!"

Chen Cang immediately made his identity known!

As soon as the crowd heard a doctor had arrived, their eyes lit up.

"Quickly, make way!"

At this point, a man shouted loudly, "Everybody, calm down, stay quiet!"

The man's words carried weight, and the whole room promptly fell silent.

After Chen Cang entered, the middle-aged man's eyes widened in recognition: "Dr. Chen?"

Chen Cang was also stunned: "Mayor Chen?!"

The man in front of him was none other than the mayor of Jinyang City, Chen Guohua!

Upon seeing Chen Cang, Chen Guohua's face lit up with joy.

"Come in! Dr. Chen, please save the child!"

Chen Cang nodded, foregoing any pleasantries!

Chen Guohua, internally excited, felt reassured with Chen Cang's presence to save his child.

At this moment, everyone quieted down, eyes fixated on the child.

Chen Jianshan and Chen Ze glanced at Chen Guohua, taken aback.

Isn't that Mayor Chen?

How does he know Chen Cang?

Chen Guohua was not on the same level as them; he was the legitimate prominent leader of Jinyang City, moreover, youthful and promising in his forties.

Here, Chen Cang saw the child's face turning increasingly purplish but also noted the child was still conscious though clearly terrified, hands gripping his neck, unable to even cry!

Chen Cang quickly picked up the child, placed him on his lap, and soothed, "Relax!"

After speaking, he formed his right hand into a fist, thumb inward, and placed it below the sternum to function as a blockage!

Then, Chen Cang wrapped his left hand around the right hand, lifted the child, and with a sudden upward and backward force, he exerted strong pressure!

Instantly, Chen Cang visualized a four-dimensional image in his mind, clearly sensing that along with his force, the soft tissue beneath the diaphragm responded with a sudden upward pressure, causing intrathoracic pressure to sharply rise!

At the moment of suffocation, some residual gas remained in the thoracic cavity, and now, with this pressure, the remaining air in the lungs suddenly formed a forceful air current, charging upward, creating a potent blast of airflow!

The piece of food stuck in the airway, like a bullet, was propelled by this air current and expelled!

At that moment, the child's mouth was wide open, expelling an object forward!

Chen Cang looked down to see a "dastardly" peanut!

And at that time, the child in his arms began to breathe heavily!

Chen Cang turned to the people nearby and said, "Whoever called 120, tell them not to come."

The child was only three or four years old, obviously terrified by the incident, sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

The child didn't cry or fuss.

That experience might haunt him for a lifetime!

Now, as the child regained his composure, a group of family members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A young woman hurriedly picked up the child, the recent event having terrified her.

Although not understanding the severity of the situation, the sight was genuinely frightening!

Who would have guessed that a laugh during a meal could have nearly cost a life…

"Thank you! Thank you so much, doctor!!"

"Yes! We are so grateful…"

The crowd got up, one after another, to thank Chen Cang.

Seeing the child was okay, Chen Cang also exhaled in relief; he had just performed the classic Heimlich maneuver.

It's considered the lifesaving technique that has saved the most lives in the world!

Its inventor, Heimlich, has been praised by the International Who's Who as "the person who has saved the most lives in the world!"

```

This is not an exaggeration at all, although it seems very simple and indeed effective, but… how many people around you can do it?

The spread of this kind of emergency aid knowledge really needs to be continued in the country.

Here, Chen Guohua, seeing the child out of danger, also sighed with relief, "Doctor Chen, you really are the child's lifesaver!"

Chen Cang smiled, "You're being too polite, it's good that everything is okay."

After all the commotion, everyone's enthusiasm for eating had somewhat waned.

However, Chen Guohua, after calling everyone together, took two bottles of Maotai directly to Chen Cang's private room.

Chen Cang couldn't help saying, "Mayor Chen, you're busy, don't be too polite."

Chen Guohua shook his head, still shaken, "How can this be called being polite? You've helped me out big time twice now."

"I said, 'you young man, come back and give me a call,' and if today's encounter hadn't happened, I reckon you still wouldn't have called!"

Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, "You're too busy, Mayor Chen, I didn't want to disturb you."

Chen Guohua left no airs in showing respect for Chen Cang, speaking very casually, "Once you're in Jinyang, you're home. It's my duty to host you. Next time when I go to Anyang, you can return the favor!"

Chen Cang smiled, "Sure! When you're in Anyang, you must get in touch with me."

Actually, for someone like Chen Guohua, wherever he goes isn't there a crowd of people eager to host him?

This was also giving face to Chen Cang!

Chen Guohua smiled and said, "Come, let me toast everyone! I've been old friends with young Chen, and I didn't expect to meet him again today. It seems that Chen really is a lucky star in my life; today, I shall toast everyone here!"

Chen Guohua lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp, also as a way to calm his nerves!

Indeed, many leaders do believe in fate!

Chen Cang had helped him out twice, once professionally and once personally, and both times were dangerous!

But Chen Cang had managed to turn peril into safety both times.

This made Chen Guohua feel that Chen Cang was truly his guardian angel!

The name Chen Guohua was well known to everyone present—being the famous Mayor of Jinyang City.

Even Chen Guohua himself had no chance to interact with such a person; he was far from that league.

Yet, seeing Chen Guohua being so courteous to Chen Cang, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

Seeing Chen Guohua offer a toast, even Chen Dahai was ready to drink, but was quickly stopped by Chen Cang taking away his glass.

Chen Guohua smiled, "Young Chen, won't you introduce me?"

Chen Cang slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory."

"This is my dad, Chen Dahai, and this is my mom, Yang Jiahui!"

Chen Guohua smiled, "Brother Chen, sister-in-law, you truly have a good son!"

At that moment, the pride on Chen Dahai's face could've lit up a room!

Swaggering with pride indeed!

This feeling was truly fantastic.

Thirty years ago, it was about respecting the father; thirty years later, it's about the son earning respect for the father!

Chen Dahai deeply felt the truth of this saying!

How could he have imagined life like this a few years ago?

Mingling with the hospital director and the department head from the province, driving cars worth millions, staying in hotels costing thousands per night, drinking Maotai worth hundreds!

Life like this felt like living in a dream!

And now to be called 'big brother' by the Mayor!

My goodness, this is something one could brag about for a lifetime!

Chen Dahai's face turned beet red, and Chen Guohua's wife, also present, couldn't help but praise, "Sister-in-law still looks so young; you look like you're in your forties!"

Yang Jiahui blushed with embarrassment.

Chen Guohua quickly introduced, "This is my wife, Yang Le."

Meanwhile, the relatives from the Chen Family watching the mayor show such respect to Chen Dahai were stunned!

Since when could Chen Dahai, the least regarded member of the Chen Family, be addressed as 'big brother' by the Mayor?

The brothers-in-law were all staring bug-eyed and tongue-tied.

Chen Cang went on to introduce, "This is my uncle, Chen Jianshan, Aunt Tao Haiflowers, and my cousin, Chen Ze."

Chen Jianshan didn't dare to act like Chen Dahai and hastily toasted the Mayor.

After a short stay, Chen Guohua didn't linger and said, "Young Chen, and everyone, I won't disturb you any longer, enjoy your meal!"

"Young Chen, you're not in a hurry to return to Anyang, are you?"

Chen Cang nodded, "Yeah, staying for a few days."

Chen Guohua smiled, "Drop by my home sometime; I'll send the address to your phone."

With that, he got up and left.

Leaving everyone staring wide-eyed at Chen Cang.

Full of shock!

The meal today, it tasted different to everyone.

Some ate joyfully, savoring every bite.

Others ate with envy, sour as a lemon.

Some had their own schemes, the flavors indiscernible to their preoccupied minds…

…

ps: Hehe, striving to finish this story, so it's a bit late and a bit long.

I'm happy to have gained another Alliance Hierarch; thank you to the very generous "小时候可瘦了123" Alliance Hierarch for the 100000 reward, thank you!

I will post the Heimlich maneuver and photos in this chapter's commentary later.
