Chapter 58: Chapter 53: The Two Hospitals Reach Agreement, Qin Feng to Perform Cross-Hospital Surgery

"What?!"

Before the words had even left his mouth, Liang Donglai stood up abruptly, looking somewhat surprised, but he quickly regained his composure,

"Have Director Deng get on the machine and try to buy us some time. I’ll prepare for the surgery on my end."

"Got it."

The doctor who had come nodded at the words and turned around to run out.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Old Liu, it’s Liang Donglai. Can you handle what I mentioned a couple of days ago?"

"Don’t worry, I just need the Cardiovascular Association as assurance. If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility."

"You also need assurance from members of the opposite hospital’s Cardiovascular Association? That’s not an issue!"

After hanging up, Liang Donglai dialed another number.

"Dean Zheng, can we discuss my surgical plan and Qin Feng’s situation?"

"No way! Old Liang, you’re betting our hospital’s reputation, I can’t agree!"

"Bullshit! Zheng Hongjie, don’t forget that it was my decades of reputation on the line that saved your life back then!

And now you’re talking to me about reputation? Don’t you think that’s nonsense?

I’m saving lives right now!

Besides, you’ve seen the surgery video yourself. Haven’t you contacted Jiangcheng City First Hospital?"

On the other end of the phone, even without the speakerphone on, Qin Feng and Jin Qiong heard the shouting.

Never in a million years did they expect that Liang Donglai wouldn’t back down at all; instead, he was angrily retorting!

"I haven’t contacted them. You’re making it too big!

I’ve looked into that Qin Feng, and he’s indeed a very capable young man, but he’s still in his internship. He doesn’t even have the qualification to perform surgery, let alone as a lead surgeon!

And you want him to perform surgery across hospitals? Isn’t this gambling?"

The voice on the phone paused for a moment, then continued.

"I don’t care! I’m going to find you now! Contact Jiangcheng City First Hospital in front of me."

After speaking, he directly hung up the phone and stormed off towards the administrative building with Qin Feng in tow.

Reaching the Vice Dean’s office, he forcefully pushed the door open with a slap.

"Zheng Hongjie, if you don’t agree for Qin Feng to perform this surgery, then you do it!

I don’t believe anyone can stitch faster and better than him!"

Liang Donglai walked up to the desk angrily, staring at the middle-aged man in front of him and shouted.

...

Qin Feng and Zheng Hongjie exchanged a glance, feeling a bit awkward.

He had tried to reason with Director Liang all the way here, but it was completely useless.

"Old Liang, can’t you perform the surgery?"

Zheng Hongjie withdrew his gaze and sighed,

"The risk is too high, even I only have a 30 to 40 percent chance."

Liang Donglai took a deep breath and said solemnly,

"And him?"

Zheng Hongjie pointed at Qin Feng.

Liang Donglai also turned to look at him.

Seeing this, Qin Feng sighed helplessly. Director Liang was really going all out!

Thinking for a moment, he decided to voice his own decision.

"Under the complete circulatory system, I have more than an 80 percent chance."

...

After the words fell, neither of them spoke.

percent confidence?

What does this mean?

During surgery, over 80 percent success rate is actually more than 95 percent in reality.

All doctors try to be restrained and conservative in surgeries, especially in life-and-death situations like these.

Because families need to be prepared for both the best and worst outcomes, doctors aren’t omnipotent, and with severe illnesses, any danger might arise.

Even with appendicitis, doctors would never tell families that the success rate is 100%, even though they might know in their hearts.

"Old Zheng, take a look at this."

After a moment of silence, Liang Donglai saw a photo received on his phone, his eyes brightened immediately, and he handed it over.

Zheng Hongjie took the phone, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

This was precisely the assurance agreement issued by the Cardiovascular Association for him!

Unexpectedly, Liang Donglai had managed to achieve this level, even had the signature of the Cardiovascular Director of Jiangcheng City.

It’s crucial to know that this assurance isn’t simply to assure Qin Feng gets on the surgery stage.

Because if any issues arise during the surgery, it could ruin one’s reputation built over decades!

"Alright, I’ll make a call and inquire."

Despite the shock, seeing Liang Donglai’s sharp gaze, he had no choice but to agree.

He immediately dialed the number of the Dean’s Office at Jiangcheng City First Hospital, discussing in front of them.

"Is Qin Feng there?"

Suddenly, the Dean asked on the phone.

"Dean, I’m here."

Qin Feng quickly stepped forward and responded.

"Good, here’s the deal, do you want to decide whether you perform the surgery or not?"

The Dean on the phone threw the question to him,

"If you want to do it, I can write a certificate to qualify you as the lead surgeon.

Of course, if you feel incapable, come back immediately, there are many surgeries here that need you."

...

Hearing the words from the other end, Zheng Hongjie and Liang Donglai were rendered speechless.

What do you mean by "if it doesn’t work out, just go back"? Are there that many surgeries over there?

"Cough, cough, cough! Old Zhang, you’ve gone too far. How could you not give me any face?"

Zheng Hongjie couldn’t help but cough a couple of times and replied in annoyance.

"Hahaha! Dean Zheng, don’t be so sensitive. My small Jiangcheng City First Hospital can’t compare with Jinling.

I only have this one precious gem. If anything happens at your hospital, I swear I’ll break into your office the next day."

Upon hearing the dean’s words, Qin Feng almost burst out laughing.

"You really are..."

Zheng Hongjie was speechless, a mix of tears and laughter,

"Alright, since even you trust him so much, not to mention the Heart Institute’s endorsement, let him decide for himself."

Then,

Four pairs of eyes turned towards him.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, and his gaze gradually became resolute.

"I can do it!"

"Great! With you around, I feel much more at ease!"

Liang Donglai’s face was full of excitement and joy upon hearing his response, and he embraced him tightly.

"Alright, in that case, I won’t stop you."

Zheng Hongjie nodded, sighed, and smiled,

"Old Zhang, let’s prepare documents for both hospitals later just in case."

"Alright, send it over from your side, and I’ll sign it."

Dean Zhang had no hesitation, although he was somewhat worried about Qin Feng’s decision, he didn’t know why.

He felt very calm, as if there was an absolute trust.

Strange indeed!

Jinling City Hospital,

Inside Cardiac Surgery Operating Room No. 1, four nurses had already started preparing the instruments.

Half an hour ago, Liang Donglai received news from the Intensive Care Unit.

Xie Ming, had passed away!

After a body ceases to function, organs can survive no more than two hours, and cold preservation lasts no more than 15 hours.

This means they must complete the surgery as quickly as possible to minimize damage to the heart.

At the same time,

Xie Jianjun’s family also received notification that they could proceed with the surgery immediately.

Everyone was happy, especially Xie Jianjun’s wife, who was so emotional that she knelt down to thank the doctor.

However, her son stood outside the crowd, sobbing uncontrollably.

Because he was the only one who knew that this heart belonged to his own brother, his father Xie Jianjun’s biological son!

His brother Xie Ming had told him not to tell the family until the last moment.

He also hoped that, after the Xie family learned of this, they would take good care of his loved ones and daughter.

...

Perhaps it was also this special affection that made Qin Feng decide to take on this surgery.

Not only was the surgery extraordinarily rare, but the relationship and experiences of the donor and recipient were a legendary and touching story.

To witness such a life was his honor!

As the family signed the informed consent forms for surgery, the patient was transferred from the ICU to the operating room.

Meanwhile, Xie Ming, who had been declared deceased, had already entered the operating room in advance, quietly waiting.

"Let’s go in."

Jiang Donglai looked at Qin Feng and Jin Qiong as he spoke.

The two nodded, opened the operating room door, and went in to begin disinfection and dressing.

When they opened the door to the operating room, the scene inside left Qin Feng stunned.

In addition to the patient and the deceased on two operating tables, there were also six or seven physicians from various departments already prepared.

"Qin Feng, I forgot to tell you that Xie Ming not only donated his heart but also all other usable organs, including his corneas.

And all of them were directed donations to students from medical universities across the country."

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Liang Donglai explained.

After speaking, for some reason, Qin Feng seemed to see something special about the deceased.

Liang Donglai continued to inform him about Xie Ming’s will.

One pair of corneas donated to a third-year student at Guangzhou Medical University.

The liver donated to a first-year student at Beijing Medical University.

And two kidneys to Sichuan Xihua Medical University.

The remaining body was also donated to Jinling Medical University to become a silent body teacher.

"Whew~ I understand now."

Qin Feng let out a long breath, filled with deep respect, and nodded,

"Let’s begin."

Then, Qin Feng took the lead position at Xie Jiandong’s operating table, with the assistant being the deputy director Jin Qiong.

On the adjacent operating table of Xie Ming, besides the heart surgery director Liang Donglai, there were also six department directors including internal medicine director Kong Yuanling and the ophthalmology director.

They needed to quickly retrieve all donated organs for medical preservation and swiftly transport them to the transplantation sites.

...

Inside an empty neurosurgery ward, a woman held a six-year-old girl, tears streaming down her face, filled with pain and reluctance.

"Mommy, is Daddy dead?"

"No, baby, Daddy is not dead. He has just become many people, and many people respect him."

"Then when can I see Daddy again?"

"If you want to see Daddy, you have to work hard to get into Jinling Medical University and become a good doctor, then you’ll be able to see him."

...
