When the Doctor Uses A Hack-Chapter 725: Give Up and Vent!

The emergency department is a melting pot; no matter what you learned initially, once you come here, you have to learn everything.

On Wednesday afternoon, an orthopedic trauma patient was admitted to the emergency department, and Chen Cang also intended to learn a bit of emergency orthopedic surgery, so he followed Director Li Jianwei onto the operating table.

Orthopedic surgery is considered a man’s domain, and Chen Cang couldn’t understand why Shi Na had chosen orthopedics in the first place.

Orthopedic surgery usually involves tools like knives, guns, clubs, and rods, occasionally involving lifting thighs and maneuvering body positions, the buzz of electric saws, and driving screws into bones.

It’s truly a demanding physical task!

Although Chen Cang’s strength was substantial, he felt that compared to Director Li’s powerful arms, he still had a long way to go.

As the surgery was gradually coming to an end, Chen Cang realized that his attempt at covert learning was not successful, but he did learn quite a lot regardless.

Chen Cang, by now, had shifted from passive to active learning; he felt that to develop a distinctive emergency medicine system, he needed to fully understand diseases across all specialties, become proficient, and then synthesize the information.

Li Jianwei was very satisfied with Chen Cang and said to him, "Xiao Chen, deflate it!"

Chen Cang nodded.

Typically, in orthopedic surgery when operating on the lower limbs, to reduce intraoperative bleeding, an inflatable tourniquet is often tied around the root of the thigh.

It’s rather like a blood pressure cuff; once inflated, it applies pressure, temporarily sealing off the patient’s blood vessels, and allows for adjustment when needed.

Generally speaking, the pressure is maintained until the surgery is finished before deflation.

Just as Chen Cang was about to release the air, he suddenly heard a crying voice mixed with a hint of despair and roaring:

"Doctor! Please, don’t give up on me, I still have children, my wife is only 30, I have parents above and children below, please, please don’t give up on me..."

Everyone was momentarily stunned, almost unable to react.

Lower limb surgeries don’t usually involve general anesthesia; most often it’s spinal anesthesia, but most patients are too scared to watch and tend to fall asleep out of boredom.

This guy, however, was different; he stubbornly watched the doctors from start to finish, making the anesthesiologist feel somewhat embarrassed and tempted to put him to sleep.

After hearing the patient’s words, it took a while for everyone to realize what was happening.

Li Jianwei couldn’t help but smile, "Young man, we’re not giving up on you; we’re going to deflate your leg!"

The man really started crying, with snot and tears: "Doctor, you can’t give up on the leg either, I’ve... I’ve just got a fracture, how can you give up on me... please!"

The nurse, unable to hold back, rolled her eyes, "I’ve already deflated it."

The man almost fainted upon hearing this.

After the surgery was completed, the attending physician had to explain for several minutes before making things clear.

Chen Cang also didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Orthopedic surgeries do come with their own set of risks.

During surgery, x-ray machines are often used to check the results, which exposes the doctors to radiation.

Therefore, many orthopedic doctors start experiencing various small problems around the age of forty.

Since setting his goals, Chen Cang had been quite busy every day, aside from assisting with surgeries, whenever he had time, he would look up research papers on VOLB cough syrup, and other materials on embolisms.

If this cough syrup truly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it’s imperative to get to the bottom of it.

Although he wasn’t sure when the third-loop task would be triggered, for Chen Cang, it was better to be safe than sorry.

That day was Chen Cang’s night shift.

Driver Lao Yang, rarely seen, brought two packs of Qiaqia seeds to chat with Qin Taishan.

The weather outside has been getting colder these past few days, and it’s already the 7th or 8th of January, with the New Year almost upon us.

As the weather outside turned colder, Qin Taishan’s security booth just happened to have an electric blanket, and the two of them liked to sit inside, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting.

Old Yang was pushing fifty this year, while Qin Taishan was heading towards sixty. Despite being ten years apart, they could chat very well together.

Old Yang always liked to boast that his car hadn’t hit 130 kilometers per hour in a long while, while Old Qin preferred to show off about the time he performed CPR and saved a twenty-something girl on the train back to his hometown.

Every time the subject came up, Old Yang would joke that Old Qin only helped because the girl was pretty.

Each time, Old Qin would get so angry that he cursed at Old Yang.

They were the two who had worked the longest hours in the emergency department. When Qin Taishan was younger, he had surgery and wasn’t able to do physical labor. At that time, the head of the department, Director Fang, felt sorry for him and arranged for him to work security at the emergency department.

And just like that, thirty years went by, and his children were married.

Old Yang, on the other hand, had been driving ambulances his whole life.

At 8 o’clock in the evening, Qin Taishan went out to buy two packs of Guizui peanuts. When he returned, he complained with a laugh, "Damn it, the roads outside are starting to ice over, nearly made me slip. Old Yang, slow down when you drive later."

When Old Yang heard what Qin Taishan said, his brow immediately furrowed.

Winter was what he feared most.

Each year in the winter... who knows how many more incidents are caused by the ice and snow.

Taking a deep breath, Old Yang said, "Let’s pray there are no call-outs today."

However, no sooner had his words fallen than they heard the urgent ring of the telephone from the nurse’s station nearby.

Old Yang and Old Qin exchanged a glance immediately.

After Kobayashi answered the call, his complexion changed drastically. He turned to Old Yang, who was spitting sunflower seed shells, and said, "Master Yang, 200 meters down the intercity highway, there’s been a pile-up. Director He has ordered us to set off immediately."

After saying that, Kobayashi hurried off to the doctors’ office.

And Old He, upon hearing the news, was dumbfounded!

For crying out loud, it’s as if I jinxed it with just a few words!

At this, Old Yang shoved a handful of peanuts into his mouth and said to Qin Taishan, "I’ll bring you back a bottle of wine when I return!"

With that, he bundled up and quickly headed for his Benz 214.

Chen Cang, hearing the commotion, also hurried to his feet.

After stocking up on gauze and other supplies, he rushed toward the ambulance.

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were tense with urgency.

A pile-up under the highway in winter weather, who knew how dangerous it could be.

Even though it was cold outside, thankfully the insulation in the ambulance was good, and Chen Cang didn’t feel cold in his white coat.

Glancing at Kobayashi, Chen Cang couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t you put on your coat?"

Kobayashi shook his head, "It’s fine to wear it when fetching medication because there’s no hurry, but we can’t wear it while responding to calls. It’s too bulky and restricts movement."

Chen Cang couldn’t help but smile at Kobayashi’s words and suddenly said, "Kobayashi, do you have a significant other yet? If not, I could introduce someone to you?"

Kobayashi’s face turned red, "Director Chen, you have to find me someone honest!"

Chen Cang couldn’t help but laugh.

At that moment, the driver Old Yang, annoyed, blurted out, "Damn it, it’s snowing now!"
