When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 498: Surgery Required!

Life never goes according to script!

Jiang Tao had everything ready and had booked the restaurant.

Whether it was Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, or Gu Hongmei, they all felt somewhat expectant. What would the feeling of reuniting after such a long separation be like?

Due to Professor Tang’s arrival, there were a few more surgeries on Saturday, intended for exchange and discussion.

By the time it was past six, everyone left satisfied.

Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang, “Little Chen, this time I’ve really benefited a lot, received many inspirations. When I get back, I will summarize them well, and then we can sit down and have a further exchange.”

Chen Cang smiled, “Professor Tang is too kind. I also learned a lot from you today!”

The two chatted as they came out of the operating room. Chen Cang’s WeChat on his phone went off, and he picked it up to see that it was from Jiang Tao.

“I’ve made all the arrangements here, Dongyue Tower, the Nanlao Pavilion private room.”

Chen Cang mentally noted, Not bad!

He said to Professor Tang, “This afternoon, after performing surgeries, Professor Tang must be tired too. Tonight, we’ve booked a spot at a restaurant that specializes in Dongyang cuisine to introduce Professor Tang to our local delicacies!”

As they spoke, the group walked towards the hotel they had booked.

When Tang Jinbo pushed the door open, the scene before him left him stunned!

It wasn’t just him. Wang Baoshan also stood up, while Gu Hongmei and Chang Honglei both got to their feet and looked at Tang Jinbo.

The four of them stared at each other and then suddenly burst into laughter.

In that moment,

perhaps the past is like smoke.

Returning, we’re no longer the youth of yesteryear.

Youth fleets with the passing time,

And the stories reappear.

All the past grievances,

dissipate amid the laughter and chatter.

Chen Cang smiled as he looked at the group, his phone suddenly rang, and he answered the call.

Shi Na said, “Little Chen, we’ve got an emergency. A child not even 3 years old, his right hand… it’s like a claw that can’t relax. I think it may be ischemic contracture of the forearm.”

“Are you still with Professor Tang? Why don’t you… come over and take a look? The patient’s condition is quite… special!”

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, then nodded, “All right, Teacher Shi, please wait a moment, we’ll be right over.”

Chen Cang looked up at the four teachers and couldn’t help saying, “Teachers, an emergency came in. It’s a child diagnosed by orthopedics with ischemic contracture of the forearm muscles. This… I’m really sorry…”

As they heard Chen Cang’s voice, Wang Yushan and the others immediately frowned.

Ischemic contracture?

This condition is no small ailment!

Ischemic contracture is rare, but once it occurs, it can lead to serious consequences!

Not to mention in the Second Provincial Hospital, even in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, one would need to go to a major hospital for treatment.

Thinking this, the four looked at each other and hurriedly rose to their feet.

Before Chen Cang could speak again, Wang Yushan took the lead, “Let’s go!”

The four of them sprang into action and headed towards the exit. As doctors, they were always ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

If where there are criminals, there are police,

then where there is disease, there are doctors!

Chen Cang watched as these four shining high-level NPCs rushed out the door, suddenly feeling an epiphany. This is what my seniors are like!

It’s not just about skill, but also that heart they have towards patients!

Seeing them, Chen Cang immediately felt reassured.

With them here, this was the elite force of domestic top-tier hand surgery specialists!

What problem could there be that they couldn’t solve?

If there really was one, then no one in the country could solve it.

After the group came out, they hurriedly hailed a taxi.

The distance wasn’t far, just a seven or eight-minute drive.

Chen Cang hadn’t even had the chance to get out of the car when Wang Yushan and the other three dashed through the doors and ran ahead.

Chen Cang hastily followed them in.

These four were people who had carved out a career for themselves on the battlefield of hand surgery.

Each one of them was a top industry magnate in the country.

Shi Na was startled to see everyone and asked Chen Cang in a low voice, “What’s going on?”

Chen Cang smiled and introduced the four people to her, and only then did Shi Na breathe a sigh of relief, her face lighting up with joy.

Chen Cang asked, “Teacher Shi, what’s so special about the patient?”

Shi Na pointed to a corner nearby.

Chen Cang finally understood why the case was somewhat special.

This homeless man was someone Chen Cang had seen before!

He was the mute man whom Chen Cang had once set a dislocation for with manual realignment.

But today, he seemed to have cleaned himself up, wearing a suit that was presentable, although a bit old and clearly a style from many years ago in gray. Yet, the stains on his hands and face looked like they were deeply embedded within the wrinkles, hard to clean, making him stand out with obvious discomfort!

Chen Cang was taken aback, “Could it be him?”

Shi Na shook her head, “No, it’s a little boy, not his child, but… he found him, there’s no identification.”

“He knelt outside with the child in his arms for a long time, the child was bawling his eyes out, and I just couldn’t stand it so I let them in.”

Chen Cang nodded, walked to the door of the emergency room, and the man gave Chen Cang a friendly smile. He couldn’t speak and hastily fished a piece of paper out of his pocket to give to Chen Cang.

Chen Cang, curious, took it, “Save the child, I have money.”

For some reason, Chen Cang felt a deep connection looking at those seven characters.

Wang Yushan glanced at the homeless man, nodded, and entered the emergency room, while Chen Cang said to the homeless man, “Come in.”

The homeless man shook his head and stepped back, pointing at himself to indicate he was dirty.

Chen Cang paused, then said, “It’s fine, I need to ask you a few questions. You can write, right?”

The homeless man nodded and hesitated before he followed inside, but… he took off his shoes and walked in barefoot.

In the deep autumn chill, the floor was tiled and even cooler. Standing barefoot on the ground, the man smiled and grinned.

Chen Cang asked, “Do you have an ID card?”

The man took it out from his pocket and handed it to Chen Cang.

Seeing the name, Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback by the poetic name, “Tao Hancai.”

The photo on the ID card wasn’t particularly handsome, but it was also quite striking, hard to associate with the man before him.

However, now was not the time to dwell on that.

Chen Cang moved forward to see the patient, a child of no more than two or three years old, whose arm showed interspersed pallor and cyanosis, patches of blue and purple, while the palm was blackened, curled up like a claw.

Before Chen Cang could react, he saw Wang Yushan place his hand on the child’s arm.

A few seconds later, his expression changed and he looked up to say, “A Volkmann’s ischemic contracture of the hand!”

At these words, the other three immediately furrowed their brows!

Tang Jinbo stepped forward, trying to lift the child’s right hand, but the child suddenly woke up and began to cry loudly.

Chang Honglei quickly came over to soothe him.

After Tang Jinbo completed the examination, he looked at the others, “It’s been too long, he needs surgery!”
