On the fifth floor of the outpatient department, after conducting routine registration for patients, Xue Lan, wearing a nurse's hat, stepped out of the hospital room, prepared to hand over the recorded information to the Doctor. Suddenly, a man drenched in blood appeared out of nowhere and collapsed in front of her.
Her professional training made Xue Lan quickly check on the injured man. She soon discovered a large gash on his neck from which fresh blood was pouring.
"It's terrible! I must stop the bleeding immediately!" Xue Lan hastily pulled out the cotton handkerchief she carried. "Someone! Quick, someone! There's an injured person here!" At the same time, she didn't forget to call for help, hoping to buy even a second more that might save the man before her.
What she hadn't anticipated was that her hand, which was about to tend to the man's bleeding, was suddenly grabbed.
"Don't shout!" A hoarse voice reached her ears.
