2373.2287 The Cruelty of Life (Alliance Leader: Karma's Rise and Fall, Karma from Karma, Bonus Chapter 5)

Boss! Su Yun shouted after a while, "Stop pretending to be profound with External Medicine, you're starting to look like a charlatan."

How? Zheng Ren lifted his head.

I've contacted them; Lawyer Ge said this shouldn't be done, avoid it if possible, there are hidden dangers, and it's a big, hard-to-solve kind." Su Yun said, "If the patient's family doesn't acknowledge it, you'll definitely lose in court, even if your Shou Bing succeeds."

Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Then let's get a lawyer from Xinglin Yuan to ask whether surgery live broadcast is permissible."

This route is what Zheng Ren considers the most feasible.

Free Shou Bing, and there is still a sum of money three months post-procedure.

This sum of money may seem insignificant to many, but it could be the annual income of the little girl's father and grandfather.

As long as one adult direct relative returns, Zheng Ren thought.

I'll go take a look in a moment; such a sensible child is rare to see." Chang Yue said, adjusting her glasses.

Zheng Ren smiled, Chang Yue stepped forward, let's give it a try. This kind of high-difficulty persuasion and communication, I really have no confidence.

Then you go contact; Su Yun will get in touch with Xiao Hu about the lawyer, and I'll think over the Shou Bing. Zheng Ren said.

You haven't figured out the Shou Bing yet?" Su Yun wondered.

If it's a Shou Bing, with mask anesthesia, after the bronchoscope goes in I plan to use a one-way valve for occlusion." Zheng Ren said, "Precise occlusion, finding the fistula is most crucial. Inside it's so complicated, wanting to accurately locate the fistula opening is difficult."

Boss, you constantly hold onto the Fifth Edition of External Medicine, yet you still aren't familiar with the lung's anatomical structure?" Su Yun asked disparagingly.

Zheng Ren knew he was just speaking offhand, so he smiled and said, "The Charitis positioning system will help find it; during the procedure, we'll discuss whatever situation we see."

Zheng Ren said, "Also need to prepare for end-tidal CO2 localization via bronchoscopy."

Su Yun remained silent, his expression grew much more solemn.

It seems my deduction and the Boss's deduction are the same; this patient needs to undergo an extremely difficult Operating Room procedure, but a bronchoscopic interventional surgery is also equally difficult.

EtCO2 can serve as a rescue measure when balloon exploration fails; it is not affected by multilobar fistula openings or accessory bronchi.

The main principle is to use a catheter to detect EtCO2 values in each bronchial segment; if the value is significantly reduced compared to the ipsilateral main bronchus, it indicates a suspected leaking bronchus.

We've resorted to this rarely used method; is there anything else left to say?

Su Yun nodded and continued to contact all matters.

【They said, quickly write a poem……】

Zheng Ren took out his phone, glanced at it, and saw it was Zhang Weiyu.

Manager Zhang, hello.

Oh? Sure, I'll ask later and see if I have time this weekend.

No, I have a surgery live broadcast on my end; I'll wait for the patient's family to consent, let's meet another day.

Zheng Ren exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up.

Zhang Weiyu wanted to find Zheng Lao Ban to go to his hometown for Flying Knife; Zheng Ren didn't object. Going out to perform Shou Bing, although busy and tiring, is unavoidable before remote surgery becomes available.

TIPS Surgery domestically still needs to be carried out by opening up the map; going out more often can quickly improve the medical standards of local doctors.

He picked up his phone, preparing to leave a message for Su Yun, asking if he had any weekend plans.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Zheng Ren answered the call instinctively.

Hello.

Oh? Not eating? How many days?

Alright, how does her family say?

Then hire a caregiver, bring the child down.

Zheng Ren said that and hung up.

The call was from Chang Yue; the problem of that sallow, thin little girl was more severe than I imagined.

Chang Yue quickly figured out the medical history, not only of the patient lying in bed, but also of the little girl.

It is said that she developed difficulty eating solid food and accompanying weight loss after an acute choking incident a few weeks prior.

An acute choking incident?

Zheng Ren made several considerations, remained still, sat steadily in the chair, eyes slightly narrowed.

Because none of them were emergencies, a full hour passed before Chang Yue took the little girl's hand to the Intervention Department doctor's office.

After the adults got off work, I contacted them; Xiao Juan's father agreed to the surgery live broadcast." Chang Yue first stated the major point, "He said he's rushing here overnight and will arrive by noon tomorrow."

Zheng Ren nodded, then looked at the girl called Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan said that when she was eating 12 days ago, a piece of meat became lodged in the inserted orthodontic upper jaw expander.

She instinctively thought she might choke, but Xiao Juan quickly removed the lodged meat. However, in the following seven days, eating anything provoked a sense of fear.

Chang Yue briefly introduced Xiao Juan's condition.

On the seventh day after the choking incident, Xiao Juan stopped eating most solid food, only able to drink a little congee." Chang Yue said, "Now she doesn't even dare eat pickled vegetables, fearing something will go wrong."

……

Zheng Ren looked at the sallow, thin little girl before him and sighed.

However strong she appears, after all she is only 11 years old. Facing dying elderly every day, she alone takes care of them; it's truly hard on this child.

Although she seems fine, the area of her psychological shadow has already grown to the point she can't bear.

A piece of meat stuck in the braces is just like ordinary people getting food stuck in their teeth—a trivial matter. But just such a small thing will make her associate it with death and fear death.

It's hard to imagine that an 11‑year‑old girl would actually encounter this world's most cruel facet.

Chang Yue put his arm around the little girl's shoulders, leaning her against himself, trying to warm this strong child as much as possible.

Chief Zheng, what do you think we should do?" Chang Yue asked.

Let's first go to the Emergency Department to check." Zheng Ren said.

"Check-up?"

"Looking at her appearance, I estimate she has malnutrition and ionic imbalance." Zheng Ren said, "First let's see if there's anything; if not…… I'll think about it."

"Okay." Chang Yue said.

"Doctor, thank you, I don't want a check-up." The little girl in Chang Yue's arms regained some of her original appearance.

Timid, she felt somewhat confused and fearful about the future.

At her age, she originally shouldn't have been exposed to the harshest side of life; she should be enjoying warmth and sweetness, full of fantasies, reverence, and anticipation for the world. Yet various causes accumulated together, resulting in the situation before us.

Zheng Ren's mood was slightly low, but a smile appeared on his face, "Are you worried about the cost?"

The little girl nodded, then shook her head.

Her actions were complex and contradictory, but Zheng Ren understood her meaning.

"Don't think too much about it; the check-up won't cost much. Moreover, your grandfather and father have already agreed to the live-stream Shou Bing, and the expenses for this will be fully covered by a professional medical company." Zheng Ren tried to make his smile gentler.

"Chief Zheng, I've already told her all this. Going to the emergency room, is there anything special that needs to be checked?"

"No, just do an extra electrocardiogram."
