Long long time ago, I used to practice my healthcare at one of the hospitals in Johor. This was 1 of my favorite spots during my practice as it can overlook Singapore - a nice view. The department is located on the hill. Separated from the main building.
One day a young boy around 16s to 17s, was vomiting blood - projectile. He collapsed. It was an emergency situation. Blood pressure low, heart beat dropping eventually the heart stopped.
As usual I will never give up. Despite there were senior Dr's - they said they can't do much. Cause loosing blood too much, too fast. Only way to help him is transfuse blood to him while performing life saving.
I literally fought with the Dr because the senior Dr said her book mentioned can only transfuse 3 pints of saline. Beyond is not advisable. 🤬🤬🤬
I refuse to let go of this boy. I alone single handed inserted more needles to transfuse saline solutions. It's a way to further dilute the blood while waiting for help to arrive, to transfer him to the main building. Imagine I need to wait for ambulance and people to transport the blood.
In that 90 mins, many things happened. And the Drs refused to trust me that time saying this boy can't be save.
After 90mins I successfully handed over this boy to ICU and passed over this case for better management.

Books can be guidance but may not be practical at some moments. Sometimes it's very much up to us how we want to use these guidance or knowledge and the wisdom we cultivated during our learning (well basically my wisdom were my years of experience in healthcare).
When we open up and understand how an ecosystem work we would be able to apply things in our life better.
There's no right nor wrong. Some felt that's the best - like what the senior Dr did. What if there's another way we can do things. And the result would be better and more meaningful..
End of the day my goal is to save or help every life I encounter if I'm given the chance. And I will not give up so easily. Hence that goes same in Persatuan Penganut Wufu Ruyi 五福如意奉献者协会
