Chapter 375 - 257: Emergency Return to the Hospital, Severe Burn Necrosis
Qin Feng’s recent bone-setting technique was derived from the ancient medical book left to him by the dying elder of the Chen family.
"Chen Clan Orthopedics"!
After inheriting this ancient medical text, he studied it carefully and found it particularly noteworthy.
Even though "Chen Clan’s Treatise on Pediatric and Women’s Miscellaneous Diseases" is an impressive top-tier ancient medical text, this bone-setting technique is equally formidable, definitely ranking among the top three bone-setting heritages he knows of.
The most important aspect of the Chen Clan’s bone-setting technique is its uniqueness, particularly effective in treating minor dislocated fractures, offering remarkable results with minimal damage.
This is because it employs the Ligu technique!
Generally, in traditional Chinese medicine, after bones are set back into place, full recovery requires several days of rest despite initial normal activity.
After all, at the moment of dislocation, the angle and force already cause the first injury, and bone-setting causes the second injury.
But the Ligu technique is different.
It involves using the fingers to gently create a minute space along the gaps between the bone and muscles, allowing the bones to safely adjust and reconnect.
This avoids any damage to the periosteum, nerves, and muscles, ensuring safety and efficacy.
Of course, mastering this set of bone-setting techniques is not achievable for just anyone, as it requires one fundamental ability.
Absolute tactile sense!
This is also the reason Qin Feng managed to fully master the "Chen Clan Orthopedics" heritage in a short period.
In all of Jiuzhou Country, it’s difficult to find a few doctors capable of possessing such a skill!
"I must quickly tell my master about this news!"
The man, watching Qin Feng disappear into the crowd, was filled with immense joy on his face as he took out his phone to make a call,
"Master, are you at the clinic?"
"Xiaofeng, yes, I am. What is it?"
Over the phone came a deep voice of a middle-aged man.
"I think I just saw our long-lost Ligu bone-setting technique."
"What?!"
Bang~
As soon as the man spoke, there was a sound of something falling over the phone, accompanied by the man’s shocked tone.
"Xiaofeng, this is of great significance. Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"
"I don’t think I’m mistaken. The finger techniques used by that person were almost identical to the ones our grandmaster used before his death, it is indeed the Ligu technique!"
After a moment of thought, the man replied firmly.
"Where is that person? Bring him to see me immediately!"
On the phone, the man’s tone suddenly turned serious and excited.
"Oh, oh, oh, I’ll go find him."
"After you find him, make sure to bring him over; this matter is extremely important, make sure you handle it well, do you understand?"
"I understand, master."
After hanging up the phone, the man chased in the direction where Qin Feng had disappeared.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard in Beijing’s South Sea, a man put down the phone, propped up a fallen chair, his face revealing a mix of confusion and hope.
"Ligu technique... is it really the Ligu technique?"
Muttering to himself, he pulled a black-and-white photo from his wallet, showing an elderly man with a vibrant spirit.
"Master, Xiaofeng said he encountered our lost Chen Clan’s Ligu technique. I don’t know if it’s true.
If it is, it definitely concerns an heir from Master-uncle’s lineage. Back then, you and Master-uncle had a falling out and split the family, and you searched bitterly for half your life to see him once more, never fulfilling that wish even until your passing.
May Master bless Xiaofeng not to have seen it wrong, to fulfill your wish."
Sigh~
After speaking, the man sighed deeply, a self-mocking smile appearing on his face.
He studied for half his life yet was unable to completely master the Chen Clan Orthopedics’ most profound techniques, especially the Ligu technique, one of Chen Clan’s two supreme finger techniques; he had only grasped its surface.
Traditional Chinese medicine differs from Western medicine, with much of it still maintaining traditional master-disciple inheritances, especially the most remarkable skills, which only one or two exceptional disciples are qualified to learn.
Since the master’s passing two years ago, the true Ligu technique has been largely lost.

In the marketplace,
Ring ring ring~
Qin Feng was accompanying Liu Yan’Er and Lu Yaoyao in purchasing some personal items when suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello, Director Meng, what’s up?"
"Qin Feng, I apologize for disturbing your rest, but something came up in the department, you might need to come back."
"Return to the hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s expression instantly tightened, and he quickly asked,
"What happened?"
"A patient was transferred from the lower hospital, severely burned for over 48 hours; they couldn’t handle it and called for an MDT (multidisciplinary treatment), the patient is being sent to the BICU (Burn Intensive Care Unit), so we need you to come and take a look as well."
Director Meng gave a simple explanation of the situation.
"Okay, Director, I’ll be back immediately, I’ll arrive in 25 minutes."
After glancing at his watch, Qin Feng promptly agreed.
In non-emergency and special situations, doctors must maintain 24-hour accessibility to handle any emergency rescue operations promptly.
This is the duty and obligation of every doctor!
In the face of life and death, all personal interests are trivial.
"Yan’Er, Yaoyao, there’s a difficult patient at the hospital; I need to go back for a full consultation..."
"You should go quickly; we’ll finish buying these things and head back."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yan’Er hurriedly urged.
"Then I’ll put these things in the car..."
"You should drive back; Yaoyao and I will take a cab back later."
"Alright, I’ll drive this car first, so you won’t need to take a cab; in about 15 minutes, I’ll have a new car come to pick you up."
Upon hearing Liu Yan’Er’s words, Qin Feng nodded, checked the time, and said.
"Got it, go quickly now."
Liu Yan’Er nodded obediently and smiled.
"Sorry, I’ll make soup for you when I’m done with work."
"Okay!"
Qin Feng looked at her with some guilt, gave her a light kiss on the forehead, as time waited for no one, then turned and left.
Liu Yan’Er watched the handsome figure holding things in both hands, quickly walking away, her pink lips couldn’t help but lift into a sweet smile.
"Hey, you two are too much with the public display of affection~"
Lu Yaoyao, standing nearby, couldn’t help but comment jealously,
"Our Dr. Qin is really busy. He barely gets a day off and just half a day out, he’s called away again.
Yan’Er, with him being so busy every day, can he still take care of you?
Can you really tolerate it!"
"Who said he can’t take care of me."
Liu Yan’Er pouted, looking all protective.
"Oh? After a day of surgeries, Dr. Qin still... caters to you well?"
Saying so, Lu Yaoyao showed a mischievous smile, whispering in her ear.
"You cheeky girl! Just wait, one day a man will handle you, hmph!"
Liu Yan’Er blushed, her eyes flickering, she sneered fiercely, and turned to walk toward the living quarters.
"Hey, wait for me, you haven’t told me yet, Dr. Qin..."
Lu Yaoyao quickly followed with a grin, seemingly very interested in the topic.
But how could Liu Yan’Er tell her?
Because until now, she had never won once, always ending up begging for mercy in stubborn defiance, not wanting to move a finger.
Every time she bathed, Qin Feng would hold her, and she would fall asleep right during the massage relaxation.
Liu Yan’Er has accepted the fact that her boyfriend is a monster who never knows what fatigue is, and absurd thoughts of finding a sister occasionally flashed in her mind.
...
Peking Union Medical College Hospital,
The intensive care conference room was filled with people, including emergency medicine, cardiac surgery, hematology, burn department, orthopedics.....and more than twenty department heads and experts of associate senior rank or above.
In front of each person were thick stacks of patient-related data and examination reports, and the big screen in the front displayed pictures of the patient’s burns.
"Who else hasn’t arrived?"
The one sitting in the main seat looked up and scanned around the room, asking.
"Vice Director Yuan, please wait a moment, Qin Feng will be here soon."
Director Meng glanced at the time, indicating to wait a bit.
"You’ve informed him of the situation, haven’t you?"
Yuan Bin heard this and looked towards him, "Director Liu, your patient’s situation analysis is ready, right?"
"It’s ready, Dean Yuan."
The middle-aged woman sitting next to Meng Dawei nodded.
Bam~
Just as the words were spoken, the conference room door opened, and a handsome figure quickly walked in.
"Sorry for being late."
Qin Feng looked at the round table full of people in front of him and nodded apologetically towards Yuan Bin at the front.
"It’s alright, you’re not late, have a seat."
Yuan Bin saw him come in, smiled and pointed to the empty chair behind Meng Dawei.
Qin Feng walked over to sit down and glanced at these people, all of them were authorities in their respective departments!
And the fact that this MDT meeting was chaired by Yuan Bin himself indicated that both the patient’s condition and personal circumstances were unusual.
Upon thinking this, he also became serious.
"Alright, everyone’s here, let’s begin this multidisciplinary consultation meeting."
Yuan Bin surveyed the room and nodded,
"Let’s first have Director Liu Haihong from the burn department do an analysis of the patient’s injury conditions.
Director Liu."
"Okay, Dean Yuan, esteemed experts and directors."
As these words fell, the woman beside Meng Dawei stood up, her expression solemn,
"The patient’s name is Gao Xiang, male, 35 years old, a safety officer at an acrylic material chemical plant in Yanshan City, Qinghai Province, responsible for the safety control of acrylic materials.
Three days ago, due to an accidental fire in the warehouse, Gao Xiang was seriously burned on his legs with acrylic contamination while trying to extinguish the fire, reaching a deep fourth-degree severity.
Because acrylic itself is toxic, and it had been over 48 hours with multiple hospital transfers before reaching us, the patient is suffering from severe fever...."
Qin Feng listened as Director Liu detailed the situation, frowning deeply.
The patient’s condition was indeed very serious, but just how serious?
A slim chance of survival!
According to the pictures of the burns on his legs, the skin and flesh had already charred and dissolved, and the bones were likely in poor condition as well.
The patient showed signs of toxicity, and without timely life-saving measures, in case of infection, he could die at any time!
If this had been within 48 hours, amputating the legs could have directly saved his life, but now it wasn’t possible.
Even if both legs were amputated, it wouldn’t necessarily save his life!
Seeing this situation, Qin Feng recalled the firefighter he saved in Jiangcheng City, who suffered from full-body burns.
At that time, due to the extensive burn area, the conventional skin grafting approach mostly resulted in failure, preventing self-healing.
And the resveratrol developed by the research center had saved his life!
But now, although this patient’s burn area wasn’t large, the burn depth was far too severe.
Even the resveratrol couldn’t meet the condition for self-regenerating, and the probability of recovery was basically zero.
The most important thing now is to discuss a viable solution, prioritizing surgery to save his life.
It’s difficult!
The risk is huge!
