Liu Banxia wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it might look like a simple procedure, if the puncture wasn't placed correctly, or if the victim's internal organs had shifted, the patient could end up even worse off.
At this point, the other two doctors had also prepared their emergency kits. Although Liu Banxia was not from their hospital, their attention was fully on him now.
"Okay, the three of us will go in first and see what's going on," Liu Banxia announced.
This wasn't him showing off. At fire scenes, smoke inhalation was the leading cause of death. The area was still thick with acrid smoke, and there was no telling how many people had already been overcome by it.
Bent at the waist, he followed the firefighters forward. If not for his makeshift eye protection, the smoke would have had tears streaming down his face.
"Doctors, don't run too fast. Stay behind us," warned a firefighter.
