Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 285 - 186: Teacher Chen’s Pneumoconiosis, The Last Lesson

Chapter 285: Chapter 186: Teacher Chen’s Pneumoconiosis, The Last Lesson

Afternoon,

Qin Feng had just finished lunch and returned to the transplant center’s break room to take a nap.

The surgery for that firefighter, Hou Gang, was fully prepared, and the ICU had all-round monitoring to ensure his well-being, guaranteeing the skin graft surgery tomorrow.

Just as he was about to lie down, his phone rang.

Ring ring ring~

"What’s up, Yitian?"

"Director Qin, could you come to the clinic? There’s a patient looking for you, Director Wang Yue is also here."

On the phone, Zhao Yitian asked.

"Looking for me? Alright, I’ll be right there."

Hearing this, Qin Feng was momentarily stunned but quickly agreed.

He got up, put on his white coat, and walked out of the break room, arriving at the general clinic shortly after.

"Director Qin."

Zhao Yitian saw him enter the consultation room and immediately stood up.

Qin Feng nodded, his gaze focused on the middle-aged man beside him.

"You are... Teacher Chen?!"

When he saw the man wearing glasses, a sense of familiarity instantly hit him, and he blurted it out.

"Qin Feng, it’s been a long time, hahaha~"

The man also looked at him with a smile, stood up, and nodded.

"You two know each other?"

The obstetrics and gynecology Director Wang Yue, sitting next to the man, couldn’t help but be surprised by their expressions.

"Director Wang, Teacher Chen was my homeroom teacher in my senior year of high school, of course I know him."

Qin Feng hurriedly stepped forward to shake his hand and laughed upon hearing Director Wang’s words.

"Hey! If I had known you knew each other, I’d have let Old Chen come by himself." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Hearing Director Wang’s words, Qin Feng again fell into confusion, looking suspiciously at the two of them,

"Director Wang, Teacher Chen, you..."

"No, no, no, Qin Feng, don’t get the wrong idea, Old Chen was also my teacher, hahaha!"

...

This interaction revealed that Teacher Chen Yanwen was actually Director Wang Yue’s homeroom teacher for three years in middle school.

It was unexpected that Qin Feng was also a student of Teacher Chen’s, suddenly making them fellow students under the same teacher.

"Hahaha~ Alright, alright, Qin Feng, no more jokes, please have a look at Elder Chen first."

After a few casual remarks, Director Wang Yue stood up and smiled at him.

"Okay, I’ll take care of Teacher Chen."

"Cough cough cough~!"

Just as Qin Feng nodded, he suddenly heard Chen Yanwen start to cough violently, his face turning red.

Seeing Teacher Chen taking out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, stopping only then.

Qin Feng’s expression darkened slightly, judging from his complexion and the sound of his cough, the issue likely wasn’t simple.

As soon as the handkerchief left Chen Yanwen’s mouth, he quickly clasped it into a ball and stuffed it back into his pocket.

Even though he was cautious, Qin Feng still caught a glimpse of the bright red.

Blood!

"Teacher Chen, stop hiding it, give me the handkerchief."

He smiled wryly, extending his hand to Teacher Chen, speaking softly.

"No need, I’m aware of my condition, hahaha~"

Chen Yanwen seemed a bit embarrassed, chuckled twice,

"Actually, it’s just an old issue, don’t worry, Xiaoxin, go ahead with the examination."

"Alright." Qin Feng reluctantly shook his head, then looked at Zhao Yitian and asked him to write an exam order, "But Teacher Chen, you can’t leave after the examination."

"But I have classes this afternoon, and my senior high school class is preparing for their college entrance exams. If I can give more lectures now, perhaps they can score a bit higher. Why don’t you just prescribe some medicine for me?"

Chen Yanwen showed a troubled expression, sighed, and said.

He was actually aware his condition was more than just a minor issue; it had started years ago.

But he had been busy with the final year sprint classes for the past two years, hardly having time to stop or daring to take a break.

He planned to wait until he retired in a couple of years to focus on treatment and rest, but this time he fainted right at the podium.

After waking up, the principal told him to take two days off and go to the hospital immediately.

Chen Yanwen pondered for a long time before calling Director Wang Yue to get a check-up at the hospital.

He was worried that if he really collapsed, he’d never be able to return to the podium.

"Teacher Chen, you’re fooling yourself!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng’s expression immediately turned serious,

"This isn’t just about you being able to teach the students. Based on the hemoptysis and the tissues involved, I can guarantee if you leave today, fainting episodes will become frequent.

It might not even be possible to last until their college entrance exams next year!"

Whether out of personal sentiment or professional ethics, he had to prevent Chen Yanwen from engaging in such self-destructive behavior.

Although he only saw a glimpse, the bloodstain on the handkerchief was not ordinary blood but carried with it a decaying tissue structure.

Moreover, the smell was not merely bloody; it also had a faint unpleasant odor of tissue decay, far from just a simple cough or emphysema.

For most ordinary people, the teaching profession is seen as a secure job, though it mainly applies to those with permanent positions.

But for major subjects like language, mathematics, English, physics, etc., a lot of chalkboard writing is unavoidable.

Therefore, the prolonged exposure to and passive inhalation of a high-dust environment inevitably causes some damage to the lungs.

As the words fell,

Both Zhao Yitian, standing by, and Wang Yue, who hadn’t left yet, were stunned.

What does this mean?

"Qin Feng, are you saying... what’s wrong with Teacher Chen exactly?"

Wang Yue’s face turned a bit grim.

"Director Wang, please take Teacher Chen for the examination unless Teacher Chen doesn’t want to see his students getting into their dream colleges one by one."

Qin Feng handed the exam form to her, speaking in a serious tone.

At this moment, Chen Yanwen also fell silent, his expression struggling for a moment before he walked out of the clinic.
