Chapter 3115: 2911 A Single Operation as Fierce as a Tiger (Alliance Leader Xichen Xichen Bonus Chapter 2)
Xie Ning felt a bit dazed; he tried to recall the hospital sign he saw when he walked in. It was Karolinska Hospital, indeed Karolinska Hospital, surely no mistake!
Karolinska Institutet, abbreviated KI, is located in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and is one of the world's top medical schools.
This hospital was founded in 1810, with a long history and high standards! At least that's what the data says.
Relevant information appeared in Xie Ning's mind; before doing anything, he had already become accustomed to familiarizing himself with all the other party's information and data.
As for the main body that evaluates the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine—Karolinska Institutet—it is necessary to gain a deep understanding of it.
Initially this hospital was called the Military Surgical Medical College; later, to commemorate the Swedish King Charles XII's army, the "Carolinian," it was renamed Karolinska Medical College.
As one of the world's largest single medical schools, Karolinska Institutet's research covers almost all medical fields, with 40% of Sweden's related research coming from here.
In the QS ranking of medical and life science disciplines, it ranks ninth globally; in individual discipline rankings, dentistry is first and medicine sixth.
Domestically, it is famed as the century-old Huaxi, with gold-medal dentistry. Huaxi Hospital excels not only in dentistry but in all other departments as well. Xie Ning originally thought Karolinska Institutet was the same, but his experience seeking treatment there left him greatly disappointed.
There are countless related data. Judging solely by the numbers, this is an extremely impressive hospital! Yet personal experience tells a different story.
For a single fish bone, I actually…… actually…… actually waited here for eight hours. Now three doctors are jointly "battling" just to extract that fish bone!
Besides that, judging by their expressions and movements, Xie Ning believed the probability of pulling out the fish bone was nearly zero.
This is too fantastical; maybe I should just look for Zheng Ren instead.
The intention to reject this idea is no longer as firm as before; this place is simply unreliable, so unreliable that Xie Ning dazedly thought he was in the African desert.
Xie Ning had a screen above his head, lacking a viewpoint, his mind wandering. But Sun Wenyi, standing to the side, could already clearly see the fish bone appear in his field of view; at this moment, Sun Wenyi even felt some sympathy for Xie Ning.
All right, all right, this is about done.
Sun Wenyi let out a breath; even he could see the fish bone, and with such high-end professional equipment, there should be no problem. Finally able to end this damned "project," although they could make money, Mr. Xie and his assistant were generous, but Sun Wenyi worried they might collapse.
After living in Sweden for several years, Sun Wenyi had long grown accustomed to the current lifestyle.
Medical care? It would be more reliable to simply avoid getting sick. As for tourists from the homeland…… they imagine things too beautifully, or perhaps their notions still assume domestic medical care is several levels higher.
Now thinking back, that's impossible! Sun Wenyi thought to himself. Perhaps only truly wealthy people can achieve this by booking an international top‑tier hospital, but ordinary people's medical experience is truly poor.
Tweezers appeared on the screen, inching closer and closer to the fish bone. The doctor operating the tweezers moved in, the tweezers clamped shut, Sun Wenyi seemed to see the fish bone caught, and then the tweezers were slowly withdrawn by him.
Finally that damned fish bone was removed; Sun Wenyi almost cheered. Mr. Xie is a decent person—seeing saliva drip from the corner of his mouth, even a stranger like Sun Wenyi found it hard to look directly.
Being able to finish would be best; I might even get a little tip…… Just as I thought that, Sun Wenyi stared at the screen and suddenly froze.
All light and hope were like a soap bubble, shattered mercilessly by reality before our eyes. As the tweezers withdrew, the field of view returned, and there the fish bone sat perfectly intact in the throat, unmoved.
Just now a fierce operation like a tiger, yet it didn't even catch the fish bone; Sun Wenyi almost covered his eyes—this scene was truly a major accident site, too horrible to watch.
"Too regrettable, I think we need surgery. That damned spot simply can't grip the fish bone." A doctor also noticed the tweezers hadn't caught the fish bone; he had no intention of trying again, speaking firmly.
"Alright, then surgery tomorrow morning, poor Easterner, you'll have to wait another night." Another person also decided to give up, taking off his gloves casually as he spoke.
After a brief discussion, the laryngoscope was withdrawn once more. At this moment, Xie Ning's complexion looked quite poor; Sun Wenyi pondered that if this mild‑mannered man went berserk, he would certainly have to talk him down.
Unlike back home, if one were to assault doctors in a hospital here, the police would certainly take them away—that would be an international dispute. … … Don't bring shame to the homeland. As for the fish bone, pulling it out back home would be easy, no difficulty.
Without time to wipe the saliva from his mouth, Xie Ning tentatively made a swallowing motion. He then froze, wondering what they had done!
Although there was anesthesia, it was only superficial infiltration; Xie Ning still felt the fish bone lodged in its original spot, completely unmoved.
"Mr. Xie, the doctors have finally found a method!" Sun Wenyi suddenly interrupted Xie Ning's train of thought, trying to beautify what comes next. Just saying this, Sun Wenyi himself felt a bit embarrassed.
"They say you should wait another night, fast from food and water tomorrow morning, and undergo surgery under general anesthesia. Just now the doctors contacted the operating room; your luck is truly good—there happens to be a free operating suite, so you can have the surgery tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing Sun Wenyi's words, Xie Ning completely broke down.
What the hell is all this!
Xie Ning stood up, his face still holding a gentle smile. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, tried to smile, but the anesthetic made smiling so difficult that he himself couldn't be sure whether he had actually smiled.
He muttered a goodbye, then immediately left with Assistant Liu.
That damned fish bone—Xie Ning chose the latter between undergoing general‑anesthesia surgery and finding Zheng Ren to pull it out.
Actually this choice isn't hard; as long as he retains a shred of sanity he'll make the right decision. Walking out of Sweden's best Karolinska Hospital, Xie Ning drew a deep breath.
The air here…… seems to carry a hint of anesthetic.
The assistant dared not disturb Xie Ning, who looked like he was on the verge of a rampage; the two sat on the cold street for a full half‑hour before Xie Ning spoke in a strange voice, "Phone."
The anesthesia had mostly worn off; Xie Ning held the phone in his hand, spoke a few words to the air, then opened the phone and found that familiar number.
"Zheng Ren?"
"Yes, it's me. You…… will you pull out the fish bone?"
