Chapter 145: The Surgical Area is Gone (Alliance Leader Fuyang Added Chapters ×7)

During this period, Ji Xiang had been working step by step; his days were plain, like plain boiled water—no matter if there was anything going on, drinking a bit more was always the right thing to do.

Most days were like this, and one could press the fast-forward button.

But hospitals are like iron, and patients are like flowing water; when a wave of patients arrived, a wave of Medical Records had to be written. Patient turnover at the Second Affiliated Hospital was fast, and Ji Xiang's typing speed was getting faster and faster.

One afternoon a few days later, the weather was fine and the sun was bright. The directors and professors who had finished surgeries in the morning were all resting, while the junior doctors were busy in the Doctor's Office writing Medical Records, changing dressings, and communicating with Family Members, busy to the point of joy.

Wu Zong sat in the office, bored to death, wailing.

"Why is there a problem again?"

The voice was somewhat miserable, and the medical record clips in the office echoed softly, agreeing with Wu Zong's statement.

"Wu Zong, was the emergency rescue back then really that tragic?" Lu Kai asked.

A patient had just arrived, an emergency, and the Resident Chief was responsible for the treatment. Lu Kai had followed Wu Zong to see the patient; he was a trainee doctor, and his complexion was quite ugly after seeing the patient.

During the exchange, several Standardized Training Doctors vaguely knew a little about the situation at the time—the patient was a 21-year-old male who had suffered an injury to his lower body in a car accident two months ago. He was sent to a local hospital nearby at the time, and a physical examination revealed that the surgical area had disappeared.

It was estimated that it had been knocked off; at the root of what was the surgical area, a severed urethral stump was visible, diagnosed as "perineal trauma, loss of surgical area."

The doctors at the local hospital performed debridement, sutured the urethral stump to the skin at the root of the surgical area, performed a cystostomy, and left an indwelling balloon Urinary Catheter.

Because the injury was relatively severe, the local doctors were not confident, so they sent him to the Second Affiliated Hospital to let the superior hospital take a look.

After all, it was a major car accident, and the patient was permanently disabled; letting the superior hospital take a look and take the blame was nothing.

Because the doctor who performed the suturing had come to the Second Affiliated Hospital for further training and had a very good relationship with Wu Zong, Wu Zong did not refuse.

According to the local 120 emergency doctor, there were 3 deaths and 1 injury in the car accident, and this young male patient was the only survivor.

But he was also unfortunate; the surgical area was simply gone...

This time, he came to the Second Affiliated Hospital because of difficulty urinating; Wu Zong diagnosed it as acute Urinary Retention after urethral trauma surgery and admitted him for treatment.

Similar patients are the most prone to recurrence, lingering for years without healing.

"Of course, I asked the 120 emergency doctor, and they said it was miserable."

"Then why is he fine?"

"Isn't this normal? I've even seen a patient who had over a dozen steel bars pierced through their body, less than 1cm away from their heart. Honestly, I still haven't figured out how a patient with bilateral Hemopneumothorax managed to hold on until the 120 arrived, and then called the 119 to saw the steel bars."

Wu Zong made an exaggerated gesture.

"Sigh, if you ever have the chance, definitely don't work on the 120. Sometimes, after seeing too many tragic situations, you have to drink an extra bowl of soup when crossing the Bridge of Helplessness. No, one bowl isn't even enough."

Lu Kai didn't quite believe it, but the fact that the patient's surgical area was knocked off and he became a eunuch—no matter how you heard it, it sounded miserable.

"Wu Zong, we haven't seen few similar patients, so why do you have such a headache over him?" Lu Kai asked.

"Let me teach you a trick." Wu Zong stood up, closed the office door, and lowered his voice by 10 decibels, "Among the people we encounter, 5% of the population likely has an antisocial personality."

"Uh..."

"In other words, the patient and the Family Member might pin the blame for the part that was knocked off on the doctor who received them."

"Wu Zong, isn't that too exaggerated?" Lu Kai was surprised.

"Exaggerated? Let me tell you something." Wu Zong shook his head, "In 2015, a movie star posted a few photos on Weibo of herself getting an IV drip in a hospital. There was blood right under her arm, staining the bed sheet."

"Ha!"

Hearing about the blood-stained bed sheet, Lu Kai immediately perked up.

Ji Xiang recalled a few things; the timing was roughly similar to what Wu Zong said, but he didn't know which one it was exactly.

"At the time, netizens expressed one after another that they wanted to human-flesh search the nurse who gave the injection, hold the nurse accountable, strongly demanded the nurse be fired, and also criticized the hospital leadership.

In short, the fans were heartbroken.

I read the comments; almost all of them were strongly condemning the abusive nurse, and many more wanted to find the medical management unit to investigate what financial problems the hospital had."

"Damn, was it that serious? Was it just a botched injection? How could it go that far?"

"After all, she's a movie star." Wu Zong emphasized, a playful smile already hanging on his face.

"Wu Zong, is it the one that was reversed later?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Oh, you weren't very big back then, you still remember this?" Wu Zong laughed.

"Yeah, a little impression."

"What exactly happened? How did it end?" Lu Kai asked anxiously.

"That movie star's PR team was quite good; they immediately realized the mistake in that Weibo post, quickly deleted it, and re-posted a revised one.

There was only one sentence difference between the two..."

Wu Zong paused for a few seconds to build suspense.

"I miss the medical staff of the motherland so much!"

"Uh, so it was abroad."

"Yeah, as soon as I saw that photo, I knew it was a foreign hospital; the equipment placement is different from domestic ones." Wu Zong said proudly, "Later, the wind direction changed abruptly; all the fans started to feel pity, and as for the medical staff's mistake, no one cared anymore."

"Ha, this is different from the patient we just talked about."

"It's roughly similar; you all should be careful when you become doctors in the future, try not to make mistakes." Wu Zong urged.

This logic was somewhat lacking, but Ji Xiang knew what Wu Zong meant.

Through all the storms over these years, everyone has lived like this.

From the moment the term "doctor-patient dispute" appeared until now, who knows how many things have been experienced; who can really say for sure?

Wu Zong's caution was correct.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

"Please come in."

An old man with dark skin and a face full of wrinkles pushed the door open; his clothes were covered in dust, and his eyes and brows were full of sorrow.

The old man didn't dare to enter the Doctor's Office, but asked timidly, "Doctor Wu, I've brought my son."

"Alright." Wu Zong immediately stood up, ready to go see the Patient.

He said it like that, but he didn't slack off at all on the things that needed to be done.

Ji Xiang, Lu Kai, and the others followed behind Wu Zong to see the Patient; he noticed the old man's appearance and the age of the Patient that Wu Zong had just mentioned.

It must be the Patient's father, probably only in his forties, but he looked at least twenty years older than his actual age.

The friction of life, perhaps, and then running into such a big incident in the family.

After stepping out, Wu Zong walked very enthusiastically to a wheelchair not far away; he was very warm toward the Patient, and without letting the Family Member push, he pushed the Patient himself straight to the Treatment Room.

After entering the room, the group helped the Patient lie down on the treatment bed, and Wu Zong examined the affected area.

A piece of somewhat yellowed Gauze covered it; after removing it, one could see a 0.3cm×0.2cm fistula at the site of the Suturing from two months ago, and pus flowed out when squeezed.

Ji Xiang couldn't bear to watch, and fearing that something might go wrong with Wu Zong, he focused his mind and entered the System Space.
