When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Chapter 171: Saving the Child! (7th Update – Request for Monthly Votes)
The time for shift change was almost upon them, and as Li Baoshan entered, everyone fell silent.
Li Baoshan looked at the crowd, especially glanced at Chen Cang, and nodded, “Alright, there’s no need to worry about Chen Cang anymore. Let’s focus on our work. However, this incident should serve as a wake-up call for us.”
“It shows that there are still some issues with our duty system, such as a lack of effective communication and coordination among colleagues, and so on…”
“These are the areas we need to improve.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Yuan Fan also breathed a sigh of relief at this point; thankfully, it had nothing to do with him.
Just then, Li Baoshan suddenly said, “Yuan Fan.”
Yuan Fan shuddered and quickly stood up, “Director!”
Li Baoshan nodded, “Starting today, you’ll go to the physical examination center. The hospital’s physical examination center is temporarily short-staffed; you’ll go help out there.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Fan was dumbstruck…
The physical examination center…
The physical examination center at the Provincial Second Hospital was a leisurely post, busy for only a few months in a year, meaning one wouldn’t earn much within a year, and more importantly, there was no future prospects – it was one of those dead-end jobs where everyone could foresee their post-graduation life on the first day of work.
Those who ended up there were either being disciplined, didn’t want to work hard, or were nurses who had transferred over.
After all, the physical examination center at Provincial Second Hospital… was really subpar!
A graduate master in surgery like me going to the physical examination center…
Yuan Fan felt a sudden chill in his heart!
He had thought he could avoid it. Who had exposed him?
At that thought, Yuan Fan’s heart was in turmoil, filled with fearful uncertainty.
Was it finally time for the reckoning after autumn?
He glanced at Chen Cang, blaming him. Are you satisfied now?
At this thought, Yuan Fan couldn’t bear to lift his head, feeling utterly humiliated!
Yet, after a while, he slowly raised his head and suddenly realized that no one was paying attention to him…
He abruptly noticed that not a single person was concerned about him, not even a sigh in response to the news regrettably, there was none!
No one even bothered to look up when they heard the news, as if there was no such person as Yuan Fan.
Suddenly, Yuan Fan felt that his departure might not be such a bad thing after all. He saw how poorly he had navigated social interactions and felt instantly disheartened… It was just as well to leave! After all, he didn’t belong here.
Yuan Fan’s departure didn’t cause any ripple in the department, nor did it make it busier by virtue of one fewer person.
On the contrary, all work carried on smoothly, as if no one was feeling sentimental or anything of the sort over Yuan Fan’s departure.
Everyone went about their business as usual, doing what they had to do.
An Yanjun hurried into the office, “Director, the equipment for the hand surgery has arrived; we can start performing surgeries in the hand surgery department very soon!”
Upon saying this, An Yanjun was somewhat excited, finally able to realize his grand ambitions.
After all, the most he usually did was stitches and trauma treatment, and for a hand surgeon like him not to have a decent operating room was indeed an awkward situation. Today, all the equipment for the operating room had finally arrived!
Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan instantly became joyful as well!
Smiling at Chen Cang, he said, “Chen Cang, you’ve been helping Director An a lot recently. You’ve managed to establish a good reputation for our orthopedic surgery department. You’ve even extended your help to the provincial people’s hospital. Now that we have an operating room, you better stick close to it and not run off anymore!”
Chen Cang smiled, “I guarantee to complete the mission!”
What Li Baoshan actually worried about was not anything else but the possibility of Chen Cang being poached. After all, there were quite a few people eyeing him covetously. The news of Fang Yonglin’s successful surgery had not yet spread. If the news got out, who knows how many people would want to have a chat with Chen Cang about life, discuss ideals, and future plans!
In the last few days, the number of emergency surgeries had gradually increased, keeping Chen Cang and Wang Yong constantly busy.
A little after three in the afternoon, just as Chen Cang had returned from the operating room, a middle-aged man came rushing in, carrying a child in his arms!
“Doctor, save my child!”
“Doctor, please save my child!”
Chen Cang heard the cries from afar and hurried over!
Nurse Chang Lina also quickly went to meet them, “What happened, what’s the matter?”
The middle-aged man’s face was pale with anxiety, and his eyes were full of pleading, “My child shoved an eraser up their nose and now it won’t come out. They started coughing intensely after inserting it. 1 picked them up and ran here, but now the child seems to be suffocating… Doctor, you must save my child!”
As the man spoke, tears began to pour down his face.
The man wasn’t very old, around his early thirties, and the child appeared to be just three or four years old!
[Ding! Mission triggered: Save the child. Upon completion, reward: 2 skill points!]
Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt, but had no time to pay attention to it.
Exactly as the man described, it must be a foreign body causing an obstruction in the airway.
This situation could be minor or serious. Usually, if the foreign object is small, it might just cause inflammation, but if left untreated for too long, it can lead to suffocation and even endanger life!
The little girl was only about three years old, at the age when children start attending kindergarten.
With this in mind, Chen Cang quickly got up, carrying the child as he ran towards the endoscopy room!
“Come with me to the endoscopy room to see if we can remove the foreign object with the scope!”
The man was stunned for a moment, but then quickly followed Chen Cang toward the endoscopy room!
If Chen Cang had let the man carry the child at this time, he might have caused the foreign object to go deeper inadvertently, which would complicate matters…
Because children’s airways are already narrow, and an eraser is not small. If the eraser was near the top, it could be removed with bronchoscopic forceps.
But now, after carrying the child this long with all the jolting, Chen Cang was worried that the foreign object had moved further down, in which case the bronchoscope wouldn’t be able to remove it!
With every passing second, they were racing against the Grim Reaper!
Chen Gang’s speed was already very fast!
Upon arriving at the door of the endoscopy room, Chen Cang said to the nurse, “Hurry and open the door. We have a child suffocating here, we need to check with the bronchoscope and remove the foreign object!”
The nurse, taken aback, quickly opened the door to the endoscopy room. Chen Cang rushed in, and then said to the man, “You stay out here for now!”
The director of the endoscopy room was Xiao He, not very old, just in his early forties, and was a leader of the new generation!
Seeing Chen Cang rush in with the child, his eyes narrowed. Without asking, he had a pretty good idea of the situation, “This way!”
Upon seeing this, Chen Cang hurriedly carried the child over!
“Director Xiao, this is an emergency case. The child was just brought in, they’ve inhaled an eraser into their nose, and now their breathing is weak. I’m afraid they won’t last long!”
On hearing this, Xiao He immediately nodded, got up to start the machine, and said, “Put the child here, let’s see if we can get it out..”
