Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 250 - 166: Donations for a Hero, Death-Defying Challenge Induces Illness

Chapter 250: Chapter 166: Donations for a Hero, Death-Defying Challenge Induces Illness

For the next two days, Qin Feng was arguably the busiest person in the city hospital.

Under Qin Feng’s treatment plan, firefighter Hou Gang successfully made it through the critical 48-hour period.

The elderly person and children he saved also rushed to the hospital to thank the firefighter’s family.

Next came a series of surgeries because the burns were too severe, requiring the complete removal of necrotic skin and muscle tissue to allow new muscle tissue to grow.

However, the daily medical fees in the intensive care unit were extremely high, exceeding 50,000 in just three days.

If this continues, the firefighter’s family won’t last even half a month.

Under such circumstances, the organization and various departments organized donations, and the hospital also provided some waivers.

This allowed them to persevere a little longer!

"Qin Feng, how is that firefighter doing today?"

Just as Qin Feng returned to his office, Zhou Xianren came over to ask.

"Not bad, but we still need to continue with infection control."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of water, and said.

"I heard you asked Deputy Director Liu to purchase a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and our Chinese Medicine Hall has been processing them these past two days?"

Zhou Xianren looked at him curiously, puzzled.

These past days, rumors about Qin Feng were spreading around the hospital. Known for his formidable expertise in modern medicine, Qin Feng had actually begun using traditional Chinese medicine to treat patients.

This news left everyone dumbfounded, even Dean Zhang Tong was astonished.

No one expected that he was also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine!!!

It’s important to understand that the current reputation of traditional Chinese medicine isn’t very high among the public.

Some people don’t trust traditional Chinese medicine and consider it a sham.

"That’s right. With our current medical means, it’s challenging to effectively treat such severe burns, and so many drugs every day can damage the patient’s kidneys."

Qin Feng nodded and seriously explained,

"And traditional Chinese medicine is the best way to balance, with a significant effect on wound healing."

When he finished speaking, Zhou Xianren stared at him with a complex expression.

"What’s wrong? Director Zhou, your look is making my skin crawl~"

Qin Feng couldn’t help but glance at Zhou Xianren and shrink back slightly.

"Qin Feng, sometimes I really doubt you’re human, more like a machine."

Zhou Xianren shook his head and sighed,

"With your medical standards, even at the top hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, you’d be considered extraordinary.

This isn’t a gap that studying can make up for; are you really human?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng’s hand quivered as he held the cup, giving him a disgruntled look.

He slowly extended his fist and displayed an internationally recognized gesture.

Meaning very frustrated!

(╬▔︹▔)凸....

However, Qin Feng had discussed with Dean Zhang Tong to initiate a public donation campaign in the hospital’s name.

The target was the severely injured firefighter, Hou Gang.

He roughly calculated that if they wanted to completely cure him, they would need a lot of skin grafts, repairs, including cosmetic surgeries, to help Hou Gang lead a normal life.

This cost could exceed 5 million!

The expenses would even surpass those associated with extending the life of a terminal patient!

Of this 5 million, the hospital, organization, and unit support could only cover about 2 million.

The remaining 3 million still wouldn’t be affordable for Hou Gang’s ordinary family, very difficult.

So Qin Feng decided to issue an official appeal for public donations to alleviate Hou Gang’s family’s financial burden as much as possible.

"Great! I agree!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Zhang Tong immediately slapped the table in agreement!

This resolved a major concern for him and was greatly beneficial for the city hospital.

Once decided, the hospital actioned this plan!

Director Su from the medical office and Hou Gang’s family convened in the meeting room for discussions, deciding to set up an official online donation campaign.

An official hospital account was provided where all the contributions would be directed to Hou Gang’s medical funds, covering all future treatment expenses.

If they could gather another 1 to 2 million, they could fully ensure all treatment costs were covered.

Ding!

While Qin Feng was resting, his phone’s WeChat group buzzed.

It was a message from Director Su of the medical office; the donation link was ready and linked on the city’s hospital website.

"The internet is truly powerful~"

Qin Feng admired as he saw the message,

"Oh, I have over 20 million followers, right? Every bit of help counts."

After saying this, he took a screenshot, copied the link, and edited a Weibo post.

[Story of a Heroic Firefighter]

’I am the attending doctor of the burned firefighter, Qin Feng. The patient has now passed the first critical juncture and is temporarily out of danger, but there are still long and perilous surgeries and recovery ahead. Due to the high costs of treatment, our hospital has already waived over a million in medical fees, but it’s still overwhelming, and I hope everyone can generously lend a hand.

The current treatment cost shortfall is about 2 million; if each of my followers contributes 0.1 yuan, it would be sufficient.

All excess treatment fees collected will be donated to the Jiangcheng Firefighting Fund to improve the city’s firefighting efforts, to prevent such tragedies from repeating!

...’

After writing the long post, Qin Feng almost moved himself to tears.

He posted it; perfect!

After doing this, he went straight to the general clinic.

These past two days, Yun Ruochu in Dermatology has been much more well-behaved, as Qin Feng refined the traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, reducing their bitterness, making them more palatable.

As long as she didn’t make a fuss, Qin Feng was at ease.

However, beginning yesterday, for some unknown reason, she’s sought him out three times a day.

Qin Feng didn’t pay her any mind, thinking he’d deal with it after a nap in the afternoon.

Inside the clinic,

Su Cheng was in the middle of a consultation when Qin Feng quietly walked into the room.

A young man, around 20 years old, sat across from Su Cheng, looking pale, weak, nauseous, and vomiting.

"Doctor, I’ve been feeling unwell these past two days, always feeling like throwing up, and also feeling dizzy and nauseous, as if I can’t wake up."

"Have you eaten anything bad recently?"

"No, everything’s normal, but I don’t have an appetite."

"Let me listen to you."

Su Cheng took out his stethoscope, listened to the man’s lungs, frowned slightly, and then asked about his medical history and other details, but was unable to make a judgment.

"Alright, you should go for some tests first and then come back to see me."

With that, Su Cheng gave him a slip for tests, which included basic checks like an ECG, lung scan, and blood routine, to see if they could determine the cause.

"What did you hear during auscultation just now?"

After the young man left, Qin Feng asked.

"Director Qin, it was like this, I heard obvious wet rales in the patient’s lungs, which might suggest suspected pulmonary edema."

Qin Feng nodded after hearing this. Based on the patient’s condition, if there were obvious wet rales in the lungs, the likelihood of pulmonary edema increased.

He then signaled Su Cheng to continue the consultation without interruption.

Roaming around the four consultation rooms, the basic diagnoses suggested there weren’t major issues, but precise diagnoses had yet to be made.

In his view, some conditions could actually be directly diagnosed, but Xu Tiantian and others still needed patients to undergo corresponding tests before confirming.

This unintentionally increased the time and financial burden on patients, while also exhausting the doctors.

However, it was unavoidable; for a professional diagnosis of an unfamiliar case, time was needed.

Medicine was unlike other common professions where every word must be accurate!

Precision and professionalism were things to be remembered at all times, as human lives were more important than anything!

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~

Just as Qin Feng stepped out of Zhao Yitian’s office, his phone started buzzing with multiple messages.

Upon checking, he found it was a Weibo screenshot from the transplant center’s group chat tagging him.

"Qin Feng, you’ve gone viral again! Go take a look."

Seeing the message, Qin Feng quickly logged into Weibo to check the post he just made.

"Damn it! Is it that amazing?"

In just over ten minutes,

30,000 shares,

500,000 likes,

80,000 comments!

This data exploded instantly, pushing him right onto the trending list.

The comments were overwhelmingly positive, almost unanimously in support.

"Wow! My idol finally posted on Weibo again, I’ve been waiting for so long!"

"I can’t believe my idol is actually the attending doctor of the heroic firefighter, oh my god! This is amazing!"

"Director Qin is incredible! You must save the heroic firefighter brother, I’ve donated!"

"Already donated, you’re welcome, hubby! (#￣▽￣#) Feeling shy"

"What? My idol only asked us to donate 1 cent? That’s not enough! I’m donating ten times that! (/≧▽≦)/~┴┴"

"In the painting of The Mob, I saw two heroes, one in flame orange, one in life white, keep it up!"

"Donated 10 dollars, wishing the hero a speedy recovery, and my idol eternal life! o(≧ω≦)o ~~~"

....

For a while, there was a flood of praise and encouragement, with some even touched to the point of offering themselves.

Seeing this, Qin Feng broke into a cold sweat, thinking about how scary women could be once they lost their senses~~~

Terrifying indeed!

Half an hour later,

the hospital’s WeChat group was bustling, filled with news about Qin Feng.

He shot up to the top three trending topics, likely to hit number one soon.

Qin Feng wandered around briefly before returning to Su Cheng’s clinic, still intrigued by the previous young man.

Not long after,

the young man returned with the test reports and handed them to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng took them, inserted the images into the lightbox, and both of them confirmed it was indeed pulmonary edema, consistent with the diagnosis.

But that was just part of it. When Su Cheng saw the blood routine, he paused, a look of surprise crossing his face.

"Director Qin."

He turned and handed the sheet to Qin Feng.

Hearing his name, Qin Feng took it, glanced at it, and his pupils immediately constricted, cursing internally, doctor’s WC!

How could the blood sodium be this low?

It’s only 110 mmol/L!

Both hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) are pitifully low!

Something’s not right!

Pulmonary edema, pale skin, nausea, and vomiting, along with the severely low blood sodium, a rare condition suddenly came to mind.

"How much water have you been drinking lately?"

Qin Feng immediately raised his head to look at the young man, asking seriously.

"I’ve been drinking quite a bit of water, about 10-15 bottles a day."

The young man, feeling nauseated, clutched his mouth and said,

"I’m a social media influencer, and because the weather’s been so hot, Heng Tai Ice Spring has a promotion, so I’m doing a 30-day challenge to drink 500 bottles of water."

....

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng exchanged a glance with Su Cheng.

Damn!

Indeed, only those who seek their own demise get such diseases...
