Chapter 194: Shut the Door and Beat the Dog (Please Subscribe)

From the first moment Fang Ziye saw Shen Dong, he knew Shen Dong's profession was no ordinary one. Otherwise his wife wouldn't have said something so brainless.

Naturally, Shen Dong's own bearing was also crisp and decisive to a level beyond ordinary people — his word was law; even his own father in front of him wouldn't get much nonsense.

Shen Dong's wife, such a hot-tempered person, didn't even dare breathe loudly in front of Shen Dong — definitely related to the nature of Shen Dong's own profession.

Meeting Shen Dong again was just over forty minutes ago.

Given that scumbag Pang Hong's physique, forget going toe-to-toe with Shen Dong — any one of Shen Dong's brothers stepping up could have subdued Pang Hong.

Under such circumstances, Shen Dong being provoked by Pang Hong into directly breaking both of Pang Hong's legs was truly unnecessary.

One comparison makes it clear — there exists an absolute disparity in combat power between the two.

Shen Dong shouldn't have struck Pang Hong; at the first moment he caught him, just taking him back would have sufficed — why send him to the hospital?

Shen Dong raised his head and glanced at Fang Ziye. Although Fang Ziye had changed back into casual clothes ready to go home, Shen Dong still recognized him: "Doctor Fang, thank you. You're a good doctor."

"So you shouldn't be teaching me these things either."

Shen Dong remembered this Doctor Fang who had performed closed reduction on his son — his cousin had said he was the best doctor in Trauma Surgery at closed reduction.

In Shen Dong's view, a doctor should be relatively pure, like Fang Ziye — teaching him to wear gloves so as not to leave fingerprints on Pang Hong was not something worth advocating.

As Shen Dong spoke, he stood up.

Then he said: "Doctor Fang, you're off work, right?"

"Mm, off work. It's gotten to that hour too." Fang Ziye opened his phone to check the time — it had already pushed past early morning.

"That... Officer Shen, will you... be punished for this?" Fang Ziye felt it was truly the good who die young while the wicked live a thousand years.

At the time Pang Hong already had no power to resist; Shen Dong breaking both his legs was certainly venting, but it would definitely be very troublesome for Shen Dong himself — even if he wouldn't lose the clothes on his back, he'd at least receive a demerit.

Fang Ziye continued explaining: "Now that this Pang Hong has entered the hospital, it's even more troublesome. He probably won't sign consent for surgery in the short term, and he's an industry insider — completing his treatment procedures will be very troublesome for us."

Eastern Han is a modern society; therefore even death-row inmates are treated with a certain degree of humanitarianism.

Diseases that should be treated must be treated; fractures that require surgery must get surgery. And before this is properly handled, this Pang Hong won't be easily taken away — lest he die before the specific process is ascertained.

And with this, the punishment Shen Dong is about to face will be even greater — at minimum it will be escalated one level.

"No matter, Doctor Fang, I don't regret it." Shen Dong smiled faintly.

"Doctor Fang, you go rest first!" This matter has nothing to do with Fang Ziye at all; Fang Ziye's comfort is pale — the deed is done.

Shen Dong felt his mood was very smooth right now.

"Can I... add your WeChat?"

"To be honest, maybe... your colleague downstairs was my surgical patient before, but my rank is too low — I couldn't participate in the subsequent rescue at all. Still, I'm very concerned about his condition. If you have any news, could you send me a message?" Fang Ziye asked proactively.

Fang Ziye truly wanted to know the subsequent rescue situation of that Zhang Yu.

However, given Fang Ziye's current identity and rank, whether that patient lives or dies, others might not necessarily notify him at the first time — and if he doesn't even have the chance to know, there's even less talk of participating in any possible rescue process.

But Fang Ziye is clear — he's not the one who closed the case.

And he now has enough Knowledge Points — what if they're useful?

"Sure! ~" Shen Dong thought for a moment, then still added Fang Ziye's personal WeChat.

He had a good impression of Fang Ziye, and also knew Fang Ziye was the greatest contributor to Shen Dong preserving his limbs — subsequent injuries had nothing to do with Fang Ziye, so Fang Ziye was still a doctor worthy of respect.

……

After adding the friend, Fang Ziye went home peacefully to sleep.

Not sleeping peacefully — no way around it either.

The next day, because he slept late yesterday, Fang Ziye also got up relatively late. Didn't crawl out of bed until seven.

Morning run time was gone; Fang Ziye could only quickly brush his teeth and wash up, solve personal hygiene, then head to the hospital at the first moment.

In the doctor's office, Xue Tao was obviously someone who hadn't returned all night, hadn't slept all night.

At the same time, Mao Mao had also been busy all night — right now his whole body had no spirit.

Zhang Mingcan, Hong Du, and Wu Guo Nan several attending physicians, plus a vice dean of the hospital, in the doctor's rest room, puffing clouds and blowing mist, betel nut residue all over the floor — truly a haze of smoke and miasma.

Fang Ziye, who never liked the smell of smoke, at this moment had no time to delay over such smoke smell either — instead he lightly took off his white coat, then prepared to leave.

Only then did Wu Guo Nan say: "Director Zhang, the situation is special now. Let's hold a small meeting later, brainstorm in the group, see if the other young people have any better suggestions."

Zhang Mingcan sighed: "Can only do this. Pang Hong made a demand to our department — hopes our hospital will simultaneously record the treatment process with him. Just this point makes it very difficult for us to handle."

"If it were an ordinary patient, directly refuse this demand and let the patient transfer out."

"But this Pang Hong — where would you transfer him? The problems and difficulties faced are the same. And now the Provincial Health Commission has spoken — we can mobilize all medical resources in the province, even seek help from provincial hospital experts."

"The issue of suggesting patient transfer or refusing communication doesn't exist."

Everyone else frowned tightly.

That vice dean with half-white beard said: "This... does Orthopedics have confidence? If you have confidence, even recording is no problem — as long as he can step down, he can be transferred to the prison hospital."

Zhang Mingcan touched his own bald head: "Dean Huang, confidence — blow that kind of cow in front of knowledgeable peers, and it gets recorded. Even if no problem comes out, you'll still shed a layer of skin."

"Pang Hong used to be our hospital's attending physician, after all?" Zhang Mingcan made sure to remind this Dean Huang who only does administration!

Everyone fell silent. Fang Ziye took the chance to slip away, quietly closing the door a crack.

……

After handover ended, Zhang Mingcan had Nursing Department people leave first.

Then, Director Wu Guo Nan, as Pang Hong's principal investigator, clapped his hands and said:

"Those staying below are all our own people in the department. So if you have any ideas, feasible or not, just speak them directly."

"The main content we need to discuss is Bed 39 — Pang Hong's treatment plan problem. But before discussing his treatment plan, we still need to know one thing..."

Last night's events — not many people in the know yesterday, and wouldn't have made the whole department aware in the middle of the night.

Therefore, hearing Wu Guo Nan's words, quite a few people in the department clenched their fists.

Wu Guo Nan continued: "There's another problem — this Pang Hong was also a doctor before, and reached Deputy Chief Physician rank as Deputy Director. We'll face many problems."

Wu Guo Nan spoke of Pang Hong's background, and the wreckage he did last night.

As the attending physician personally managing the bed, Xue Tao spoke on professional matters: "I've had preliminary communication with Pang Hong. Pang Hong doesn't refuse communication, but he has a demand — bilateral recording. Otherwise, he won't discuss any issue at all."

"This demand is actually unreasonable, but it hasn't reached the point of being absolutely excessive either."

"His current purpose is just one thing: stay in the hospital, avoid interrogation, and also make it impossible to be transferred. For a very simple, direct amputation surgery, he certainly wouldn't agree, and this hasn't reached the indication for amputation either. Therefore, we can only discuss surgical treatment with him."

"And in the hospital, he refused to cooperate with the investigation multiple times last night due to pain, and because there was bleeding on his right leg, although we did temporary debridement and hemostasis, it wasn't of much use."

"They struck too viciously."

"They may have vented their anger, but our trouble has grown."

"Third point: the patient currently has no family members and no money."

"But actually he has both. He still has children, parents. But his parents have no money on the surface, and his parents were certainly informed of the situation by Pang Hong in advance. No money for treatment, but for appeals and hiring lawyers — there's absolutely money for that……"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

As if the current situation was an unsolvable difficult problem.

Of course, although Wu Guo Nan and Xue Tao are the principal investigator and the attending physician, as the ward director, Zhang Mingcan certainly couldn't play dead. He is the ward director.

Zhang Mingcan knocked on the table, rubbing his bald head with both hands:

"Director Wu, and all you other brothers, let me say a couple of things."

"First, our identity — we're just doctors, not judges. Whether Pang Hong is guilty cannot be decided by us. Right now, Pang Hong is staying in our hospital, and he's just in the identity of a patient."

"This point must be clear."

"We doctors cannot care about his social role, and we also can't care about it even if we wanted to."

"Cure the illness, do the surgery well. The rest, hand over to the police. After all, we're not professional investigators either. As for what Director Wu said before, we'll just listen to it like that — no need to take it completely to heart!"

"Let me summarize the problems our department is currently facing."

"First, the patient doesn't refuse surgery, but doesn't agree to surgery either — he demands to sign. He's an insider. The probability of a medical dispute occurring is extremely high. Even from a medical standpoint, we must be absolutely cautious, not allowing the slightest mishap."

"Second, no money. But the money problem has already been handled by someone."

"Third, the patient cannot be transferred! Because transfer has no meaning. Transfer to a superior hospital is impossible. The things he did destine that he can never leave Enshi again. Even during surgery, he cannot leave the police's sight."

"Based on these several difficulties, everyone think about whether there are any better solutions. We'll see if we can break them down and solve them one by one, and then let the patient be discharged happily as early as possible……"

After rubbing his bald head, Zhang Mingcan leaned back, tapping the tabletop with the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

His tone and expression were almost about to hit someone. Where in this posture was there any consideration for the patient's social relations?

The meaning in and between the lines was clearly just: finish the surgery quickly, then send the person in early!

Quite a few people instantly got the message.

Huang Kai said upon hearing this: "Director Zhang, since the patient has a strong desire for limb preservation, we can invite provincial hospitals to send experts for a flying knife consultation, or we can also invite experts from Magic Capital and Jingdu to come for a consultation surgery?"

"The fracture situation isn't complex, but there's one point. I just heard Xue Tao say the patient's current personal condition isn't good — hypoproteinemia, malnutrition. Whether he can even get on the operating table is debatable."

"And I believe, if we send out this consultation surgery as a teaching surgery invitation to the various professors in the province, quite a few professors would be interested. I can also try to make contact!"

Huang Kai expressed his stance. He could use his master's school connections to find experts willing to come perform the surgery.

But whether the patient can survive the anesthesia risk — that's not something Huang Kai can guarantee.

This surgery isn't big——

Huang Kai felt what he was doing was to satisfy the patient's needs as the principle, and the patient's recovery and discharge as the goal.

Just to let him be discharged early!

Zhang Mingcan also said: "The cost issue isn't thorny. We've already contacted the device vendors."

"On the device vendor and device company side, there are 'model steel plates' with symbolic charges. Our department's surgery fees can also be waived. On the anesthesiology side, I've already talked to Director Huang Jiaoshan."

"With this whole process, at most it's three or four thousand yuan tops. If the police side doesn't pay and the hospital doesn't step forward, I'll pay it personally."

"It won't affect the performance bonuses of the brothers in the department."

This big bald head is definitely a man of character, very good at handling people.

But actually, the current money isn't the main issue.

"The main issue is anesthesia risk and intraoperative risk problems. Currently, the patient's nutritional status is already poor. In our orthopedic surgeries, intraoperative accidents are mostly anesthesia-related risks, shock, ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, and other existing risks."

"And if this Pang Hong dies on the operating table, that's not a situation our department wants to see, nor what the police side wants to see."

"Compared to a dead person, we're all willing to see him alive."

Old Director Hong Du, who had been silent, spoke: "Director Zhang, regarding anesthesia, there are currently only two choices for Pang Hong. One is Nie Mingxian performing nerve block anesthesia with relatively lower risk, not involving the cardiopulmonary system."

"Nie Mingxian from Anesthesiology is an external circulation perfusionist. If there's any accident during surgery, he can move cardiopulmonary function outside the body, striving for the maximum rescue time."

"The second choice is Dr. Wu Xuanqi from Minzu University Hospital. He says he's already contacted Peking Union Medical College Hospital — that is, the unit where Dr. Wu Xuanqi's wife previously studied for her doctorate."

"The Anesthesiology Department of Huazhong Peking Union Medical College Hospital is the strongest anesthesiology department in Hubei Province. They can send two professors over, and the critical care ICU at Peking Union Medical College Hospital can also send a professor to respond at any time to various possible accidents during surgery."

"This is the preparation of medical personnel."

"Nerve block anesthesia is currently the safest method in anesthesiology."

"And Dr. Wu Xuanqi from Minzu University Hospital also said he's already contacted some device vendors and obtained some 'supported' model equipment, free of charge."

"They will install bilateral lower limb venous filters for Pang Hong free of charge, completely eliminating the risk of thrombus detachment, done according to the highest standard of risk avoidance!"

"And if this Pang Hong still isn't reassured, intraoperative routine color Doppler monitoring is completely fine. We can even bring in two blood dialysis machines, working both sides. All lower limb venous return volume will be purified after passing through……"

An old director is an old director.

Once Director Hong Du spoke, everyone instantly fell silent.

This is truly ruthless. This cuts off all the patient's retreat paths.

But the cost paid is also truly huge. It can be said to be at all costs — for one yuan of income, investing nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine yuan, just to make up a million.

For a single fracture, not to mention installing two lower limb venous filters, they even set up two vascular dialysis machines to control the quality of venous return blood.

What surgery fears most is death caused by cardiovascular accidents. Cardiovascular accidents mostly include cardiac embolism and arrhythmia. The ICU professor is for responding to arrhythmia. The venous filter is for responding to thrombus. The dialysis machine is for responding to ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation caused by electrolyte imbalance!

Just for this patient who originally didn't have many surgical contraindications, doing this much?

Isn't this just being dead set on sending him in?

……

In the doctor's office, Zhang Mingcan and the others were discussing the patient's surgical plan and accidental risk prevention plan.

The nursing department wasn't idle either.

A nurse, ah, assisted Pang Hong, getting Pang Hong's fundraising plan — launched online because he claimed he had no money — sorted out!

The medical records were definitely sufficient.

Just, this Pang Hong had only gotten this plan going recently, when Shuidichou staff arrived at the ward.

They said: "Mr. Pang, your luck is really good. The fundraising donation plan you launched on our Shuidichou just minutes ago has already been completed."

"I also specially communicated with the platform, specially waiving the handling fees for this fundraising. All the funds will be directly transferred to the hospital's finance department as your surgical treatment costs."

Upon hearing this, Pang Hong's brows immediately furrowed tightly: "I only just launched it on my end, and your end has already raised the full amount?"

The staff member explained: "Yes, Mr. Pang. Perhaps your luck is relatively good; you triggered traffic support, so the number of people who saw it was very many, therefore the full amount of funding was raised very quickly!"

And this time, hearing him say this, even the nurse no longer cast a disdainful gaze over.

After all, these people make money by consuming the love and kindness of the masses. To tell the truth, the service fees and handling fees are a billionth high.

But unexpectedly, Pang Hong actually knew the ropes, and asked again: "Can this money be given directly to me?"

"Look at me, I don't even have money to eat."

The staff member's mouth corner twitched slightly; in his heart he cursed silently: Big Brother, you don't even know you're at death's door. Do you know where this money comes from? It's all money to send you on your way, just given to you through relatively legitimate means.

"Sorry, that's not allowed." The staff member replied.

Pang Hong then shamelessly said: "Then I'll fundraise one more time, you give the money directly to me! This time I'll raise money for one meal."

"I'll even split a few tens of thousands with you, right?"

The staff member was in his thirties, his whole person very amiable, but absolutely not a stupid bastard.

He cursed inwardly: No way, I can't take your money. Even if you gave it to me I wouldn't dare take it.

He just shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Pang, this is regulation."

Pang Hong then didn't care: "Forget it. Starving to death is death, not doing surgery is death, doesn't matter anymore."

"Not eating, at most a week and I'll be dead."

However, Pang Hong's words had barely finished when the meal money donated by the department arrived —

No group photo, just handed the envelope to him!

Shut the door and beat the dog, how could they let you escape?
