Chapter 394 - 276: Amputation Surgery, Chen Clan Pays a Visit
The next day,
Xia Dongyang gathered the money he borrowed and the money given by some colleagues, along with the twenty thousand thrown in by the boss.
He handed it over to the hospital payment office, but looking at the amount of -78,235, he could only smile bitterly.
At that moment, he truly understood what powerlessness meant.
However, Qin Feng had already spoken to him, and had contacted a medical aid foundation on behalf of Lu Yongbo, which would temporarily cover all the treatment costs.
Once the construction site boss sent the money, they could just repay the medical expenses.
With no other hope left, all he had was this one glimmer of hope.
"Hello, is this Mr. Xia Dongyang?"
Just as he walked out of the payment office, he received a call.
"Yes, it’s me."
"Hello, I’m Chen Dong, the manager of Qin Medical Foundation, regarding providing medical assistance for patient Mr. Lu Yongbo. Do you have time now?"
Hearing the voice on the phone, he was stunned.
Is someone really sponsoring them?
"Oh, yes, I do."
"Then please come to the hospital administration office now. We’ll discuss the specific agreement, and then we can disburse the funds."
Chen Dong said.
"Alright, I’ll come over right away!"
After hanging up, Xia Dongyang, with a mixture of surprise and joy, quickly headed toward the administration building, while making another call,
"Hi, sis-in-law, it’s Dongyang. Have you boarded the train?
Just now, a foundation contacted me, saying they can cover all of Uncle Lu’s medical expenses.
It’s true!
They are already at the hospital, I’m going there now to check it out.
Yes, yes, yes, wait for my call, please don’t worry, and take care of the kids."
...
In the intensive care unit,
Qin Feng dressed in a blue surgical gown, was disinfecting along with several department heads, preparing to enter the operating room.
"Qin Feng, why aren’t you doing the surgery today?"
Meng Dawei stood beside him, looking at him with some confusion.
"Amputation is orthopedic work, after all, I can’t keep taking others’ surgeries."
Qin Feng said with a faint smile, pointing to several orthopedic residents who had followed them.
The surgery was led by the deputy director of orthopedics, and they were brought along to observe and learn.
While Qin Feng, Meng Dawei, and Liu Haihong were on the side to watch and assist, preventing any unexpected incidents.
After all, the patient had severe burns with other complications.
If complications occurred during the amputation, adjustments could be made quickly with synchronized operations on stage.
After completing the disinfection, they were the first to enter the surgery room and put on sterile clothing.
The orthopedic residents came in the second batch, taking the first and second assistant positions.
This came as a surprise to orthopedics.
Qin Feng, being the primary doctor and being highly skilled, could easily perform such an amputation surgery without involving orthopedics.
This was considered a friendly gesture.
"Qin Feng, I didn’t expect you to understand social niceties so well~"
Director Liu Haihong nudged him with a low chuckle.
"Haha, not at all."
Qin Feng modestly shook his head.
Soon enough,
Everyone was in position.
The deputy director of anesthesiology personally handled the anesthesia, and the surgery officially began once complete unconsciousness was achieved.
How to say it.
Orthopedic surgery generally gives a violent impression, and indeed it is quite violent.
Human bones are the hardest, so an electric saw would be used for amputations.
Since there were resident doctors learning, the surgery speed was intentionally slowed down considerably.
From cutting open the wound, separating muscle tissue, blocking blood vessels and nerves....
An hour and a half later, the bones were finally exposed entirely.
Then started an operation resembling decoration, with the deputy director of orthopedics holding a miniature electric saw.
Buzz~
As the switch was pressed, the saw’s teeth spun rapidly.
Fizz~~~
Physiological saline flowed alongside the gear, preventing bone shavings from splattering.
This scene was very much like those short videos of sawing bones, indeed no different.
Squeak... squeak...
As the bone was slowly sawed through, it revealed a semi-white, semi-red cross-section.
Several new resident doctors, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but instinctively turn their heads.
Even with masks on, one could still see their distorted expressions, reluctant to directly face the sight.
"Keep watching carefully."
The deputy director in charge noticed this, and sternly spoke,
"If you can’t even handle this, don’t stay in orthopedics."
Hearing this, Qin Feng and Meng Dawei exchanged a glance and saw the amusement in each other’s eyes.
He understood this feeling well; even with countless experiences, during his first time performing an amputation, sawing through the patient’s bone himself, there was still a normal physiological rejection reaction internally.
Except for some naturally interested specialist geniuses, most new doctors need time to assimilate.
After all, this concerns a living person, and such cruelty is beyond a regular person’s comprehension.
The unconscious patient could not understand it, but internally they felt pained and conflicted.
And usually, after the surgery, when doctors have barely calmed and recovered, the waking patient falls into agony, which again affects the doctors.
Even at hospitals like Peking Union Medical College Hospital, a top-tier hospital nationwide, selecting elite graduates annually.
Only about 50% truly endure through the three-year residency training.
Reality and ideals often present the most brutal differences!
...
Bzz Bzz Bzz~
The surgery continued, and Qin Feng found it somewhat monotonous when suddenly the surgery room’s door opened.
A nurse walked in, stopping beside him.
"Dr. Qin, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who’s looking for me?"
"I don’t know, they didn’t say, it’s an old man with a young man, looks like a grandfather and grandson."
The nurse described briefly, "But he asked me to tell you three words, and you’d meet them."
"Three words? What words?"
Qin Feng was curious and asked upon hearing this.
"Parting Bone Technique."
Click~
Upon hearing the nurse’s words, his eyes changed drastically, and he was shocked.
The Parting Bone Technique was a unique skill of the Chen Clan in bone setting.
Is there someone else who knows it?
"Alright, I understand, let them wait for me in the small meeting room, I’ll be there soon."
"Okay, Dr. Qin."
The nurse left and Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
"What’s wrong?"
Meng Dawei noticed his unusual demeanor and softly inquired.
"Oh, nothing, Director."
Qin Feng regained consciousness at the inquiry and said,
"I see the surgery is nearly complete, I’ll head out, someone is looking for me."
"Alright, Liu Director and I will oversee here; you go ahead."
Meng Dawei nodded, and only then did he take off the sterile clothes and turned to leave.
After washing and disinfecting, removing his hat and mask, he changed into a white coat.
All along, he was perplexed, how could someone else know he’d learned the Chen family’s bone setting techniques?
When Elder Chen’s wife handed these skills to him, she mentioned that the Chen lineage would end with him, and hoped Qin Feng could help pass on the Chen family’s hundreds of years of expertise.
Now someone mentioned the Parting Bone Technique to seek him out.
Could it be Madam Chen sent someone to find him?
Click!
Outside the meeting room, Qin Feng opened the door.
In his view were indeed two unfamiliar faces.
The elder seemed to be in his sixties or seventies, wearing a simple gray cardigan, loose light pants, and a pair of old cloth shoes.
With a straight posture, he looked vibrant.
The young man beside him looked a little over twenty, with some youthful awkwardness still present.
Upon hearing the door open, they both rose and looked toward the doorway at Qin Feng, their gazes meeting.
"Who are you?"
Qin Feng asked the two before him, puzzled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man step forward, giving him a once-over with his eyes full of surprise, then turned his head to ask,
"Xiaofeng, is it him?"
The young man beside him nodded repeatedly.
The old man turned his eyes back to him, standing with his hands behind his back, a mysterious smile pulling at his face, and said slowly,
"Young man, is Chen Hanzhong your master?"
