Families coming to witness this scene could feel as though they were seeing the patient for the last time before their death.
This undoubtedly had a significant psychological impact on the relatives.
Doctors heal the sick and save lives, but they also must consider the emotional state of the patient when they leave this world. Patients hope their families won't suffer too much because of their departure. This was particularly true for Aunt Wang. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept her illness a secret from her family after it became serious.
Regardless, they had to try to wait for Mingming to arrive before declaring the patient deceased.
Xie Wanying performed each cardiac compression with utmost care.
Li Qi'an, who watched her perform the compressions, gradually stopped shaking his hands and feet, perhaps sensing the words in her heart.
Hold on, just hold on, hold on until Mingming arrives.
