Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 286 - 186: Teacher Chen’s Pneumoconiosis, The Last Lesson (Part 2)

Chapter 286: Chapter 186: Teacher Chen’s Pneumoconiosis, The Last Lesson (Part 2)

Wang Yue quickly caught up and led him towards the imaging department.

An hour later,

Wang Yue returned with Chen Yanwen, carrying the scans.

Qin Feng took them and placed them on the lightbox.

The CT showed a large shadow over 7cm at its longest diameter and at least 4cm at its shortest!

Moreover, there were multiple areas with small shadows of grade three overall density, covering even more than four lung fields!

"Hiss~ How could this be..."

Upon seeing this, even Director Wang Yue inhaled sharply, showing a shocked expression.

Zhao Yitian also understood, and his heart trembled.

Qin Feng sighed quietly, his expression turned somber, and his brow furrowed.

Grade 3 silicosis!

Even though he had predicted this possibility before, seeing the results now still felt heavy.

"Cough, cough, cough~ Xiaoxin, is my condition very bad?"

Noticing the expressions of the others, Chen Yanwen still smiled and asked,

"It’s okay, just tell me the truth, I’ve mentally prepared myself."

"Stage three silicosis, indeed, the situation is quite severe."

Qin Feng looked at Chen Yanwen and helped him sit down,

"Currently, according to the CT, there is extensive pneumoconiosis, and the upper lobe of the right lung has basically lost function, there might be necrosis, essentially confirming diffuse fibrosis of the lung tissue."

At this, Chen Yanwen’s expression stilled, a shadow of gloom flickered in his eyes and then disappeared.

"Teacher Chen, everything follows a process, if you had come to the hospital earlier for examination and actively cooperated with the treatment, it could have been controlled with lung lavage at the stage of initial pneumoconiosis.

Now it’s too late for that~"

As he finished, Chen Yanwen exhaled deeply, shook his head, and looked at him.

"Phew~ It’s okay, Xiaoxin, just tell me, how long can these old bones of mine last?"

"Teacher Chen, don’t think too much, the situation is not that dire."

Qin Feng quickly explained,

"It requires you to undergo timely surgery immediately, to remove the necrotic upper lobe of your right lung and then to have a lung wash, there’s typically no problem for more than 5 years after."

"Qin Feng, can surgery result in such an extended survival time?"

Wang Yue, who was beside them, was amazed and asked immediately after hearing this.

Although she was the director of obstetrics and gynecology, she was also quite familiar with internal medicine.

For silicosis, especially stage 3 silicosis as severe as Chen Yanwen’s with extensive necrosis, the worst outcome usually comes to mind.

According to her expectations and understanding, even with surgery, postoperative survival typically wouldn’t exceed 3 years.

In the medical world, the generally recognized survival time, even if it exceeds the basic level, is a rarity among rarities.

This involves evaluations of medical level, patient condition, and the surgeon, among other aspects.

Yet Qin Feng just extended this time by almost double!

It’s not something you can just blurt out!

Medicine does not allow for any falsity!

"Teacher Chen’s situation, normally speaking, is not problematic."

Qin Feng nodded seriously and said,

"But the bad news is, after the surgery, you probably won’t be able to continue teaching, although it’s a bit uncomfortable, that’s the reality.

You won’t be able to return to the podium!"

...

At this moment,

The consulting room was silent, all three looked at Chen Yanwen.

Hearing the words, Chen Yanwen only felt as if his heart was being fiercely squeezed, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Teacher Chen, I know you are reluctant to leave the podium, and you miss the students."

Qin Feng squatted down, held his hand, and comforted him,

"But you have already given so much, and if the school knows about your situation, they won’t let you struggle either.

Even though you are leaving, there are still many outstanding teachers behind who will help continue down the remaining path.

Having worked hard for half a lifetime, it’s time to rest, teacher~"

Chen Yanwen was silent for a long time, just looking at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with loss and sorrow.

After a long time,

"Sigh~ I understand, it’s just... I can’t let them go..."

He sighed deeply, his voice was low and weak, then he smiled wryly,

"The only thing I’m really proud of in this life is having students like you, and I’m very satisfied with that."

As he spoke, Chen Yanwen reached out to touch Qin Feng’s hair, his face full of relief.

"Then I’ll immediately inform your family, arrange for you to be hospitalized and schedule the surgery, I’ll personally perform it, the sooner the better."

Qin Feng was pleased to hear that Teacher Chen had agreed.

"Wait, wait."

Chen Yanwen quickly reached out to stop him, looking at Qin Feng and Wang Yue,

"I’m okay with the surgery, but I have a small request, is that alright?"

???

Hearing his words, the two of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"It’s like this, I fell ill too suddenly, and there was a class last time that I didn’t finish teaching. If possible, I’d like to return to school and give the students one final lesson.

I hope you can agree, can you?"

...

PM,

Principal’s office of Jiangcheng City First High School.

The principal received a call, his face filled with surprise and his heart greatly shaken.

It was a call from Chen Yanwen’s spouse, along with Director Qin Feng and Wang Yue from the city hospital.

Teacher Chen Yanwen was diagnosed with stage 3 silicosis and needed immediate surgery and would no longer be able to teach.

He hoped to give one last class to the students before surgery and early retirement.

Upon hearing this request, the principal agreed without hesitation.

He had seen many excellent teachers, and new ones emerged every year.

But a senior and top-notch senior teacher like Chen Yanwen, who has repeatedly received the national special grade teacher honor, is truly rare!

Graduating from university at 23, he joined the First High School, taught three batches of grade 9, twelve batches of grade 12, and was a homeroom teacher nine times, with an undergraduate passing rate as high as 85%.

Among all high school teachers in Jiangcheng City, it’s hard to find one or two like him!

And now, suddenly he must part with the podium, the principal also felt sadness because he was once Teacher Chen’s student, who worked his way up step by step through the official career path after graduating from the People’s University to this position.

Now with his mentor seriously ill, he feels powerless.....

After feeling sad for a while, he picked up the phone.

"Xiaozhang, notify Director Liu and all Grade 12 homeroom teachers to immediately meet in the conference room.

Help me compile the schedule for the day after tomorrow’s Grade 12 classes and let the teaching and research department make adjustments, ensuring all classes have Chinese for the second period in the morning, leaving the auditorium available.

Also, free up my time, do you hear me clearly?"

"Got it, Principal, is something the matter?"

"Don’t ask so many questions, just do it."

"Okay, I’ll arrange immediately."

"Phew~"

After hanging up, he exhaled deeply, looked wryly at the small woods outside the window, as if he saw Teacher Chen catching him smoking secretly there, and then heavily reprimanding and educating him.

He was going to send off Teacher Chen Yanwen’s last moment in his professional career.....
