"Dr. Chen, should we go straight to the operating room?" Liu Banxia asked.
Chen Xuehai scrutinized him closely. "Can you hold on? Should I do an ultrasound first?"
Liu Banxia nodded. "Don't worry, I can manage."
Chen Xuehai quickly got to work; this was no time to delay. Even the nurse had placed a pillow under Liu Banxia's arm.
"There's some fluid in the thoracic cavity. A vessel might have been injured," Chen Xuehai frowned after the scan.
"Let's draw blood for a rapid stat test, then head to the operating room," Liu Banxia said to him.
"Are you sure you can hold out? A blood vessel might be damaged," Chen Xuehai asked again.
Liu Banxia nodded. "After the blood draw, clear the path ahead. We need to be as steady as possible when we move him. I can endure it."
"Alright, that's the plan then," Chen Xuehai said, giving him a look.
"Shi Lei, inform the child's mother after her CT scan is done. There's no time now. But it shouldn't be too serious; there isn't much fluid."
