Chapter 247

Returning home, Fang Ziye first checked himself in the mirror, even narcissistically stroking his chin, only then washing his face and tidying up before rushing to the hotel to handle the checkout procedures.

When the conference ended, Fang Ziye had to see people off, so he didn't handle the checkout, and then went to eat with his fellow disciples; naturally he couldn't delay.

After tidying up the housework a bit, Fang Ziye set out from home and hurried to the hospital.

On the way, Fang Ziye checked the logistics information of the gift he had mailed to Luo Tingzhu after his wallet had a bit of a surplus.

Actually, ever since going abroad, Fang Ziye could no longer understand the express delivery package information.

It wasn't that Fang Ziye couldn't understand the words, but that he couldn't understand those place names and specific locations; he could only verify them via a map.

What Fang Ziye bought wasn't an expensive gift, just a hair tie that looked decent, used for tying up hair, so it would be convenient for Luo Tingzhu to wear on her wrist; the hair tie was flat, so even during experiments, if she wanted, she could wear it...

When Fang Ziye arrived at the department, there was only one doctor on duty today.

It was precisely Zhang Jinchuan.

"Ziye, have you eaten?" Zhang Jinchuan, whose whole person looked very broad, turned like a door panel; seeing Fang Ziye, he yawned, his face full of smiles.

"I just finished lunch, Chuan Ge." Fang Ziye took a notebook from the side pocket of his white coat while sitting down and asking.

The time was only 5:40; less than three hours had passed since Fang Ziye finished lunch, and his stomach felt not the slightest hunger.

"Right, people from your master's school came over, Ziye; you just got such a good result, you definitely have to treat."

"Then when are you going to treat the department brothers to a meal too?" Zhang Jinchuan stretched lazily, smiling with hidden meaning.

Although Zhang Jinchuan was on duty, the others in the department weren't, and it was the weekend; after morning rounds, many went to the conference venue.

Some went to listen to lectures; naturally some standardized residency trainees, like Huang Yunxiao in Zhang Jinchuan's current group, like Mao Mao in the same group as Fang Ziye, and Guo Yunlei, all gossiped a round to Zhang Jinchuan respectively.

They said Fang Ziye won the Special Prize in the Young Physician group.

In Enshi Central Hospital's Trauma Surgery, the best result previously obtained was the First Prize won by Huang Kaikai Ye.

The Special Prize is a very special award; it basically never appears in prefecture-level city hospitals.

As if it were a barrier.

This time, Fang Ziye managed, more or less, to be associated with a prefecture-level city hospital, just couldn't be listed by name.

"Should be, Chuan Ge; wait until I get the money then we'll talk."

"Otherwise I'll die poor." Fang Ziye was very honest.

Hearing Fang Ziye's words, Zhang Jinchuan froze for a moment; like a dumpling, he quickly realized: "Rest assured, this organizing committee definitely won't default."

"Just might be a bit slow; hope by then little Fang you still haven't gone back."

"But I believe, with someone as excellent as you, Ziye, even if you go back, you definitely won't default."

Zhang Jinchuan complained that similar award distribution speeds are very slow.

"Definitely not, Chuan Ge."

"I'm an Enshi local; when the time comes, treating a meal alone, I should also pay a visit to compensate." Fang Ziye joked, then shifted the topic elsewhere.

"Chuan Ge, how is Kai Ye's rehabilitation going now? Any sensation and active response?"

Huang Kai's current condition is a mangled extremity of the right lower limb plus half pelvis and abdominal wall mangled injury; although surgery reconstructed it and nerves were sutured.

But nerve damage isn't something where you just suture it, the structure connects, and function directly gets through.

Nerve function divides into two types: sensory and motor function.

Currently, Huang Kai's sensory function hasn't recovered at all, let alone active muscle contraction.

Therefore, Huang Kai currently receives basic rehabilitation therapy before active rehabilitation — acupuncture, Chinese medicine, massage, electrotherapy, and other extremely basic methods, striving to restore basic nerve potential, completing the preoperative accumulation process from nothing to something.

Orthopedics' relatively specialized sports rehabilitation requires that you can move first.

This is also one reason Hong Du cannot transfer Huang Kai to a special sanatorium; because even if he went in, Huang Kai would still do medication and basic therapy, and would occupy a bed.

"Take it slow."

"Oh right, Ziye, Kai Ye heard you got the Special Prize, he was especially happy..."

"Is Kai Ye's mood okay now? Then it's convenient for me to go see him?" Fang Ziye's bigger reason for coming to the hospital was actually to 'report for duty' to Huang Kai and check on him; the other smaller reason was to check on the patients he managed in the department.

The managed patients had already been handled by Mao Mao and Cao Zhen for today's medical orders; no need for Fang Ziye to worry extra.

"You go, Kai Ye should be awake..."

"Come in!" Fang Ziye reached a single room ward doorway, lightly knocked, and Huang Kai's even more hoarse voice returned from inside.

Fang Ziye knew Huang Kai's voice was because intubation caused throat inflammation not yet eliminated, making the voice even more hoarse.

Entering inside, Kai Ye's lip color was dark, his protruding mouth even more protruding, lip skin getting thicker and thicker; he must have suffered quite a bit in the ICU.

"Ziye, please sit."

"Take whatever you want to eat; at mealtime my mom went back to pick up the kid, my mother-in-law went back to cook." Huang Kai said.

One sentence, enough to show Huang Kai's character is excellent.

Huang Kai has his own mother, but also brothers, so his own mother still has to incidentally bring the kid; in such a situation, Huang Kai's mother-in-law is actually willing, after her daughter passed away, to come care for Huang Kai.

This is truly treating Huang Kai as half a son, perhaps even a son.

"Kai Ye, I won't eat. You want to eat something?" Fang Ziye looked at Huang Kai, who at this moment was like a dolphin, only able to flap his bilateral upper limbs like wings; his heart couldn't help but clench.

Even though Huang Kai isn't a girl, isn't a good-looking little boy, can't even be called handsome.

He still has a quality that makes one's heart ache.

"Haha, Second Prize Special Prize — is this looking down on my family's stuff?" Huang Kai joked.

Fang Ziye directly peeled an orange, joking: "Kai Ye, this Special Prize of mine, I got it with a lot of water content, and almost all this water content was rushed up by you, Kai Ye."

"Hah?" Huang Kai heard Fang Ziye's words, felt a bit awkward.

To say Fang Ziye got the Special Prize because Huang Kai charged him up, that would make sense.

Huang Kai charging water — isn't that cursing someone?

"Kai Ye, foot wash? Didn't you save my foot wash water?" Fang Ziye continued joking.

"Screw you!" Huang Kai's mouth kept curling up and down.

Back then, Huang Kai saying he'd take Fang Ziye to broaden his horizons was just a joke; now that the old matter was brought up again, it inevitably made Huang Kai recall some past events.

"Don't you say, back when she was around, I always wondered, what the hell kind of place a foot bath parlor really is, what other girls taste like."

"I really am a bastard at heart, feels like a kind of emotional cheating. Just lacked the courage to act on it. You say, have I always thought this way..." Huang Kai said, and as he spoke, lightly slapped his own face.

Then he returned to normal, looked at Fang Ziye: "Ziye, don't laugh at me."

Fang Ziye only felt his nose sting a bit, pried the orange into two halves, handed half to Huang Kai, and said a meaning-laden line: "Kai Ye, have some, both sour and sweet are inside."

Huang Kai took it, saying on one hand: "You've been hanging around with the Professor Group for a while, your speech has even picked up a Zen flavor."

"Hey, just saying casually, where's any Zen flavor."

"Kai Ye, how are you feeling now? Any sensation?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Yes!" Huang Kai said.

"What sensation?" Fang Ziye got excited for a moment.

"Eight Extraordinary Meridians, all completely unobstructed, warm currents spraying throughout the body, Combat Power Value reaching one million." Huang Kai cracked a joke first.

Then he said: "Just feel no sensation, a kind of hidden heat sensation, can't even feel this leg's existence."

"This side's a bit better, still have a little sensation now."

Half Pelvis Destruction Injury, the bone damage might only be half the pelvis, but nerve damage, spinal cord damage inside the lumbar vertebrae, that's not just half.

Fang Ziye heard this, felt a bit upset inside.

Actually, by now, Fang Ziye had already slowly begun to accept that Huang Kai's current condition cannot be cured by modern medical technology alone.

This isn't some individual's medical skill level being inadequate, but an overall limitation of medical standards.

If Huang Kai's kind of paralysis could be treated, then many paralyzed patients in this world could be cured.

So, even if he stores more Knowledge Points, in the end it might just be a nice-looking Skill Point display, without substantive application.

However, Fang Ziye is also willing to see such a display.

At least he tried.

And this effort still has height and time restrictions.

Reaching Level 5, before September, is the only amount of Knowledge Points Fang Ziye can actively expend and the time node he can stay in Enshi City.

If it doesn't work out, then can only wait for Fate, or wait until Fang Ziye has time later to come help.

Because Fang Ziye cannot, for Huang Kai's rehabilitation, keep retorting against Rehabilitation Medicine to advance, marching toward an unknown goal ahead.

"No rush, Kai Ye, take it slow, current medical technology level is very good, and Old Doctor Chen is still here after all..." What Fang Ziye said with his mouth and what he thought in his heart were not the same.

"Oh, sorry!"

"Kai Ye, I shouldn't have chatted about these things with you." Fang Ziye immediately apologized.

"It's fine, things are already like this, now we can only be glad the other party can still afford to pay." Huang Kai's expression turned desolate and sorrow intertwined, the corner of his mouth curling into a bitter smile.
