The emergency hall of the Emergency Department was crowded with people.
In the long information desk, the nurse kept answering phone calls and answering questions, so the three of them were very busy.
There were cars passing by in the middle of the hall, accompanied by "excuse me" and "trouble", which were either stupefied, anxious, or tearful family members.
Shi Qiang's father and aunt were sitting on chairs outside the resuscitation room, their eyes blank.
The resuscitation room was connected to the operating theater, and it was not open to family members. Shi Qiang's father and aunt could only sit outside in a daze.
Behind them, through the heavy floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see the sturdy pine and cypress trees.
The cypress trees in summer were dark green and glossy. Their thick branches and leaves were overgrown, as if they had taken drugs that could strengthen their limbs. They were black and hard, looking slightly ferocious.
The pine and cypress ground was moist, the result of watering in the morning.
The little green plants surrounding the cypress tree were soft. They seemed to be able to withstand the toughness of the cypress tree, but also seemed to be unable to.
Many patients and their family members liked to stare at the green space outside the window in a daze.
The air in the Emergency Medical Center was filled with anxiety. As long as one did not look at them, one would feel comfortable looking anywhere.
Zuo Cidian walked out of the door with the words [Emergency Access] written on it. He then closed the door and looked to both sides.
The patient's family members stood up and surrounded him.
"Is Shi Qiang's family around?" Zuo Cidian shouted.
No one responded.
Zuo Cidian was not in a hurry. He had done similar work many times. He waited for more than ten seconds before he shouted, "Is Shi Qiang's family around?"
"Big Brother, he's calling us." Eldest Aunt confirmed it and quickly stood up.
Shi Qiang's father also raised his head blankly.
From the moment his son was injured to the moment he was sent to Yun Hua Hospital by ambulance, as a father, he was always in a state of hot-bloodedness, so much so that he could not understand the current situation very well. As his son was sent into the operating room, the adrenaline levels subsided, and the father finally regained some consciousness.
Or rather, he was even more at a loss.
"Doctor?" He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zuo Cidian. "I am Shi Qiang's father. Is Shi Qiang … alright now?"
"We haven't started the surgery yet." Zuo Cidian's expression was stern, and there was not a hint of a smile on his face.
He knew that a smile could make the patient's family members feel more at ease. However, at this moment, the patient's family should not be relaxed, nor should they be in a relaxed mood.
Shi Qiang's father and aunt were stunned by Zuo Cidian, the middle-aged resident doctor.
"Then … we … we've already paid the money. Why aren't we doing the surgery?" Shi Qiang's father frowned slightly.
Zuo Cidian saw it with just one glance.
Almost in an instant, Zuo Cidian's train of thought for the conversation changed.
"The injury on your son's index finger is too severe. He doesn't have the ability to replant it. Unless we use other methods, our suggestion is to amputate the limb. " Zuo Cidian's tone was solemn as he said, "You must make a decision as soon as possible. The surgery inside cannot be delayed. The longer you wait for a finger replantation, the more difficult it will be in the later stages. "
"Amputation?" Shi Qiang's father panicked again.
Zuo Cidian nodded and gestured with his right hand on the index finger of his left hand. He said, "The power of the explosion was very great. Shi Qiang's finger … To put it simply, a part of it was blown off. The other three fingers can still be reconnected, but too much of the index finger was blown off. Not only will it be useless to reconnect it, it won't look good either …"
"Let's go back and look for it." Shi Qiang's father seemed to have found his target. He immediately became energetic and said, "Sh * t … I know where Shi Qiang plays with firecrackers. Doctor, tell me what you want to find. I promise I'll find it for you."
"The parts that were blown off aren't the only ones that were lost, but also the parts that were burnt …" Zuo Cidian's voice became gentle as he explained the situation and principles of replantation.
The man felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
The aunt thought about it and said, "You mentioned that unless we use other methods. What other methods are you talking about?"
Zuo Cidian's expression became hesitant.
"Doctor, doctor, please help me. He's my only son." The man grabbed Zuo Cidian's sleeve. He did not dare to grab Zuo Cidian's arm as he was afraid that it would affect the doctor's business.
Zuo Cidian frowned, and his expression became even more hesitant.
"Doctor, please help us. Think of a way. We really … Our son can't lose a finger. His life will be ruined!" Shi Gui's aunt became even more panicked. The Boys in the Village
"We still have a new surgical method, which is also a new technique. However, it's more complicated, so we usually don't use it." Zuo Cidian introduced ectopic transplantation to them as he spoke. He then said, "This is equivalent to performing two surgeries. Not only is it expensive, but the nursing between the first and second surgeries is also very difficult. You have to watch over the child and make sure that he doesn't move his position. Also, you have to guide the child's psychological state … "
When Zuo Cidian said this, the two parents obviously flinched again.
"About this, we'll think about it …" The aunt pulled the man's arm.
"I'll give you a few minutes to think about it." After Zuo Cidian finished speaking, he said, "I'll make a special call to the department director. If you don't want to do it, we'll prepare to amputate the child."
As Zuo Cidian spoke, he took out a few documents for them to sign.
He was not worried that they would choose amputation.
Ectopic transplantation was an idea proposed by Wang Haiyang. In the end, if the patient's family really did not want to do it, there was no need to force them.
At least, from Zuo Cidian's point of view, ectopic transplantation meant asking for higher medical fees and more time for the family. This was not something that every family could afford.
Although Department Director Wang Haiyang could reduce part of the expenses, for children who did not have medical insurance or whose medical insurance quality was not high, the burden was still very heavy. Zuo Cidian, who came from a town hospital, understood the value of tens of thousands of RMB to many villages and towns.
If a family with an annual income of one hundred thousand RMB accidentally lost their finger, regardless of whether it was finger replantation that cost ten thousand RMB or ectopic transplantation that cost tens of thousands of RMB, they would try their best to perform surgery. But from Zuo Cidian's point of view, Shi Qiang's family was obviously not up to this standard.
However, from Zuo Cidian's point of view, if there was a chance for ectopic transplantation, the wisest choice was to seize it.
It might be easy to talk about giving up now, but twenty-four hours later, it would be difficult to keep the finger and not let others notice the missing finger.
"We'll do the surgery." The man did not dare to discuss for too long. After making two phone calls, he resolutely went to Zuo Cidian.
"If you're willing to do the surgery, you can go and pay the money." Zuo Cidian looked serious and asked, "Do you have any financial difficulties?"
"It's alright …" The man was a little diffident.
"Our hospital has a policy that allows us to waive part of the medical fees for some patients. You'll have to apply for the specific details." Zuo Cidian's words were watertight. After receiving a basket of gratitude, he returned to the operating theater.
At this moment, Ling Ran and Department Director Wang Haiyang had already started to operate on other fingers.
The three interns also seized the rare opportunity to participate in the surgery with full attention. They were all about to face the problem of finding a job or being assigned a job. If they could participate in a few more surgeries, it would be more beneficial for them to stand out.
In fact, there were many interns who had not performed surgery before when their internship ended.
The interns who participated in finger replantation and ectopic transplantation were really at the forefront of the crowd.
