When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 267: Chapter 268: We Will Go All Out (1/3 additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Forbidden Area Twilight Fire)

Tan Zhonglin actually came to the Second Provincial Hospital to find Chen Cang as a last resort. “Too many cooks spoil the broth” doesn’t apply here; ever since participating in the surgery on Xing Yu, the reputation of Hand Surgery at the Provincial People’s Hospital can be said to be unprecedented, reaching a pinnacle state!

Yet Tan Zhonglin hasn’t even had the chance to enjoy the benefits that this honor brings.

But the side effects of the honor arrived first!

All sorts of complex patients came knocking at his door, giving Tan Zhonglin a persistent headache.

He also wanted to openly and honestly acknowledge it.

But… his abilities did not permit it.

With no other choice, he had come to the Second Provincial Hospital to stealthily learn and improve his skills.

Just as Tan Zhonglin was about to call Chen Cang out to explain the situation, a sudden phone call came in.

“Director Tan, you’re not in the department?”

When Tan Zhonglin answered the phone, he heard the urgent voice of Li Hui, the director of the Provincial People’s Hospital.

Tan Zhonglin’s face changed, and he hurried out of the emergency office.

“I’m not there right now, Director Li, what’s happened?”

Li Hui’s voice was somewhat stern, “Hurry back, there is a special patient.”

Upon hearing about a special patient, Tan Zhonglin was momentarily stunned; he had recently received too many special patients and really didn’t know what kind of special situation it was this time.

Was it a hospital staff’s relative? Or a leader’s family member? Or perhaps a little star or internet celebrity!

In any case, Tan Zhonglin had recently been given these special emergency missions, leaving him annoyed and overwhelmed!

“What kind of special patient?” Tan Zhonglin said as he hurried to the intersection to hail a taxi.

Li Hui said solemnly, “It’s a people’s hero.”

Tan Zhonglin was immediately taken aback.

Li Hui continued, “Hurry over, we’ll talk when you get here!”

Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help but feel uneasy inside, a people’s hero…

What happened to the people’s hero?

He hurried back to Hand Surgery and saw a crowd gathered at the entrance!

Two or three family members had brought three children around five or six years old, all wearing the same school uniform, while Li Hui stood next to the nurse station, with a middle-aged man dressed in a white shirt and suit pants beside him.

From his bearing, one could tell he was a leader, and certainly of a higher rank than Director Li!

Seeing Tan Zhonglin get off the elevator, Li Hui quickly gestured to him.

“Minister He, this is Director Tan of our Provincial People’s Hospital’s Hand Surgery,” Li Hui said, introducing Tan Zhonglin, “He is also a member of the surgery team that participated in the treatment of Xing Yu a while ago!”

The leader turned to Tan Zhonglin as he heard this and said seriously, “Director Tan, hello.”

Tan Zhonglin, though full of questions and unaware of what had happened, patiently replied, “Hello, leader.”

The middle-aged leader held Tan Zhonglin’s hand, stared into his eyes with a hopeful expression, and said solemnly, “Director Tan, we are counting on you this time. You must save our people’s hero!”

Tan Zhonglin was totally bewildered, “What exactly happened?”

The middle-aged leader explained, “Today at noon, right after these children got out of school and were crossing the zebra crossing, suddenly a car lost control. At that critical moment, the elementary school teacher, Guo Zhiyong, dashed out and swept several children to the safety of the green belt, saving them from imminent danger!”

“However, when he landed on his right hand, it was severely injured by the green belt’s railing!”

“This is our people’s hero from Anyang City, and the department is taking this matter very seriously, demanding that we do everything we can to save the hero!”

At that moment, the few five or six-year-olds also earnestly said, “Doctor grandpa, please save Teacher Guo! We beg you.”

The children’s family members also looked at Director Tan, “Director, please, you must save Teacher Guo; if it weren’t for him, our children really would have…”

“Right! Director Tan, if you can even cure Xing Yu’s hand, Teacher Guo can certainly be saved too. Please, Director Tan.”

“Don’t worry about any of the expenses, use the best medication. We will cover the medical costs, but please take good care of the patient!”

At this moment, the parents of the three children were no longer stingy with their gratitude. When they saw on the surveillance camera Guo Zhiyong throwing himself at the children and knocking them down onto the green belt, their hearts had already been profoundly moved.

Frankly put, their children were their lifeblood!

The Director of the Education Department, He, turned around and looked at Director Tan: “Director Tan, Teacher Guo is a hero among our teachers. We entrust this to you!”

The three little friends wore hopeful expressions, their big eyes brimming with tears, as they choked up and said, “Please, Doctor Grandpa.”

Tan Zhonglin was indeed over fifty this year and truly at the grandfather age.

Looking at the three children, Tan Zhonglin nodded, “I’ll go see the patient first, I will do my utmost!”

After speaking, nurses led Tan Zhonglin directly to the treatment room, where the attending physician, Zhou Yang, was currently cleaning the patient’s wound.

Upon entering, Tan Zhonglin saw Zhou Yang and asked, “What’s the situation? Is it serious?”

Zhou Yang shook his head, his voice low: “Director… the situation is not very optimistic!”

Tan Zhonglin was taken aback and hurried forward. When he saw the back of Guo Zhiyong’s hand, he was immediately shocked!

It was unquestionable that there were fractures in the hand.

But that is the least of concerns; the key issue is the indistinct flesh on the back of the hand – the tendon, nerve, and blood vessel damage is severe!

There are many functioning areas on the back of the hand, with a dense distribution of tendons, blood vessels, and nerves. Such extensive damage…

Let’s not even talk about whether it will affect functionality, but whether it can heal properly later on.

All that is too far off to consider.

What we’re contemplating now is whether the repair can be completed, preserving the basic life skills of the right hand!

Thinking this, Tan Zhonglin’s complexion changed, and he couldn’t help but sigh heavily, saying with a serious face, “Let me take a look.”

Zhou Yang immediately got up, and Tan Zhonglin took the tweezers, carefully probing the injury.

The more he looked, the more startled he became!

The more he looked, the colder his heart felt!

This was troubling.

The radial and ulnar nerves were close to complete severance.

The tendons on the back of the hand had laceration injuries.

The blood vessels were severely damaged.

Having seen this, Tan Zhonglin turned to Zhou Yang and asked, “Have the X-ray and MRI scan been done?”

Zhou Yang nodded, turning on the backlight: “They’re all here, Director.”

Tan Zhonglin looked at the X-ray of the hand and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; the palm fracture was there, but it wasn’t too serious.

But… the situation evident on the MRI was not optimistic at all.

At this moment, Tan Zhonglin had pretty much understood Guo Zhiyong’s condition completely.

Guo Zhiyong, looking at how grave Tan Zhonglin was, also felt his heart sink and asked with a wry smile, “Director… Is there any hope for my hand?”

Tan Zhonglin looked up, eyeing this young man who was not much older than Chen Cang, unsure of what to say.

After all, no one could guarantee what the recovery would be like later on.

He took a breath and promised solemnly, “We will definitely give it our all!”
