I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Operating Room No. 8.

This is a child who fell into the water and experienced delayed suffocation. He was brought to the emergency room due to opisthotonus and signs of impending brain herniation, and was rushed into the operating room.

The neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and pediatric ICU teams are working tirelessly to save the patient.

"One child had a brain herniation yesterday, and another one today, and they're both children...sigh."

The speaker was a fat neurosurgeon.

He let out a heavy sigh.

"It feels like ever since Dr. Ogawa started doing out-of-hospital emergency care, our neurosurgery department has been working non-stop like oxen!"

Another doctor spoke up.

"Alright, alright, are you cattle as good as me?!"

The speaker was He Qifeng, a somewhat thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, whose eyes held a murderous glint.

I've been carrying bricks for over ten hours without getting any sleep, and now I'm back again.

But the chief surgeon wasn't there. He's currently the best neurosurgeon, so he had to step in to treat this child who had already developed early-stage brain herniation.

"That's still Director He..."

Everyone looked at Director He Qifeng with admiration.

I remember yesterday I worked on the liver from midnight until noon the next day. I had just sent the specialist home to rest when another surgery came up.

"Alright, the drilling decompression is complete. I'll leave the finishing touches to you. Now I'm going back to rest... Don't call me even if the sky falls down!"

He Qifeng said irritably.

He just came back from studying abroad; we can't treat him like a nobody.

If this continues, I'm going to collapse.

"Alright, Director He, you can leave the rest to us."

Everyone nodded.

Watching Director He's departing figure, everyone felt that he had truly risked everything for himself and his department.

"This story teaches us that we must be careful with our words. Director He didn't pay attention and said some inappropriate things during someone's live broadcast, and as a result, netizens across the country seized on his words."

"That's right. Back then, they said the person was bound to die, wouldn't even make it to the hospital or the operating room. But Dr. Chuan managed to get him into the operating room alive. So when he died, it became the neurosurgery department's problem, and even led to conspiracy theories, like you wanted to embarrass Dr. Chuan, which is why you didn't do a good job of saving him..."

"It's true, I feel like Director He is being tortured to death, constantly paying the price for what he said yesterday. And this child today too, if he can't be saved, people will definitely say He Qifeng is behind it all!"

……

Inside the operating room, everyone was chatting.

At that moment, He Qifeng had already walked out of operating room number 8.

After two consecutive surgeries, I was walking with a slight stagger.

It's crooked and twisted.

He looked like he was about to collapse.

"Director He! Director He!"

As soon as they reached the waiting area for family members outside, Pingxue and her husband rushed over, looking at He Qifeng with anticipation in their eyes.

Because they knew that this doctor was the associate chief of neurosurgery in charge of their child.

"You are Li Xiangxiang's family members, right? Don't worry, his intracranial pressure has been reduced, and there should be no problem with his brainstem. The surgery was very successful overall. He will most likely be admitted to the ICU for observation next. As for the future impact, we'll see. Some people may have sequelae."

After all, it was the parents who were asking the questions.

Therefore, He Qifeng must have answered at least some of the questions.

Overall, the child is definitely fine.

"call--"

The couple breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The child is back.

Who would have thought that falling into a pond that was only half a meter deep would almost cost the child his life?

"Director He, what kind of long-term effects might my son have?"

"Yeah."

Pingxue nodded frantically after the man finished speaking.

They all wanted to know what long-term effects the child might have.

"The aftereffects actually depend on the situation. If the recovery is good, the child may be transferred from the ICU to a regular ward after a week, gradually regain consciousness, be able to call for mom, and recover limb movement, leaving only mild memory loss or fatigue."

He Qifeng gave a relatively good prognosis.

"I see... So, Director He, will this effect last a lifetime? Or can it be treated later and the child recover to be exactly the same as a normal child?"

The couple continued to press for answers.

As parents, they naturally hope that their child can recover and become just like a normal child.

"Well, if things go well, the child's brain function is basically normal. Their emotions and memory are slightly weaker, but they can recover slowly over time. However, their personality may become slightly more sensitive or their attention may decrease. But basically, there will be no obvious intellectual disability. In summary, the child is similar to a normal child in all aspects. At most, they may have become less lively and less talkative than before, and may even have become a little more sensitive."

He Qifeng was very sleepy.

But looking at the parents' inquisitive eyes and their concern for their children's situation, I was deeply moved.

He knew he wouldn't be able to leave until he finished speaking.

So He Qifeng explained it in more detail.

"Oh, I understand, thank you, Director He. So the chances of my child recovering to this level are pretty high, right?"

The young couple breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then he asked another question.

After all, Director He had said that the best-case scenario was a recovery to this extent, but they didn't know what the worst-case scenario would be.

But I don't want to ask.

I just want to know what the probability is of it returning to the way Director He described.

"In clinical practice, there is probably a 20 to 30% chance of recovery to this extent."

He Qifeng thought for a moment before answering.

"Wow! Only 20-30%! That's so low!!"

The young couple immediately lost their temper.

They originally thought there was at least an 80% chance.

The result was unexpected, with only a 20%-30% probability.

"Yes, it depends on the person. After all, as you know, the head is a very important and delicate place. Cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension will definitely damage some nerves in the brain. The probability of recovering to almost the same level as before the accident is indeed only two or three out of ten people."

He Qifeng explained.

Everyone wants to recover and be like a normal person, and so do their doctors.

However, in reality, there are often various constraints.

"Director He, if the recovery hadn't gone so smoothly, what would have become of our child? Could you give us a sense of what to expect?"

Li Xiangxiang's father was very anxious.

After all, this is a major event that concerns a child's entire life.

"There is roughly a 50-70% chance that the child will experience cognitive decline, such as mild intellectual impairment, or some behavioral abnormalities, such as irritability, poor attention, and mild physical dysfunction, such as unsteady walking or stiffness."

This group represents a relatively large portion of the affected population.

"sky……"

Upon hearing this, the young couple completely broke down.

"Don't rush. Let's wait 3-7 days and see. This situation only occurs if there is slow recovery of consciousness, abnormal muscle tone, or some damage to nerve reflexes. But don't worry about it affecting your independent life. You will definitely be able to live independently and go to school in the future, but your academic performance will be affected. You will also need to cooperate with rehabilitation treatment for several months, or even several years in the longer term."

He Qifeng offered a reassuring remark.

This is the typical trajectory of survivors who have survived hypoxic-ischemic cerebral edema, opisthotonus, and brain herniation.

You can still live a good life.

"Okay, okay... Thank you, thank you, Director He."

The couple seemed somewhat distraught.

Their children must never be like that.

We must strive to develop in the best possible direction.

There is actually another situation that He Qifeng did not mention.

However, this is an extremely rare condition, either in a vegetative state or with severe disability.

Specifically, symptoms include aphasia, limb stiffness, aimless movements, difficulty swallowing, dependence on care, and a lifespan ranging from a few years to more than ten years.

This category accounts for less than 1%.

So he stopped talking about it.

The child is generally developing well, and this situation will not occur unless there is a sudden deterioration.

that's it.

He Qifeng has left.

I lay down on the soft bed in the hospital lounge.

I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

This Zhang Lingchuan really tormented him to no end.

In reality, back at the affiliated hospital, Zhang Lingchuan himself was also suffering terribly.

【59——59——59——】

He is still undergoing CPR.

已经从0、1、0、1变成了59……59。

The whole process took forty minutes.

In other words, from the initial 50 minutes of their rescue efforts to the current 40 minutes, an hour and a half has passed.

But this 59-card Lingchuan stump had already taken nearly ten minutes, much longer than he had imagined.

"Dr. Ogawa, give up!"

"There's no hope now, there's no way they can survive."

"Yes, Dr. Ogawa himself has been trying to resuscitate for over forty minutes, and adding that to the time before that, it's been an hour and a half!"

"But didn't Dr. Zhang also try to save that inexperienced veterinarian for an hour and a half?"

"This is different. Dr. Ogawa took over immediately and used the 1-5 cycle method. Now, the child might already be dead when they take over. How can you bring someone back to life?"

"As a medical professional, I am pessimistic about the current state of emergency care."

"What pessimism! When we're seeing patients, we're afraid they'll cause trouble, so we speak very tactfully. Do we have to be tactful online too?! That's just impossible! This kid's doomed!"

"Indeed! Even if it's a matter of humanitarian concern, it should end here."

……

Studio.

Zhang Lingchuan's rescue efforts continue.

Netizens definitely won't be able to see the child's face.

But at this moment, we can see Zhang Lingchuan performing CPR.

He was sweating profusely.

“Veterinarian Zhang… if there really is no other way, then give up. I know you have done your best.”

The family has been waiting.

Hopefully, a miracle will happen to them.

The child will eventually recover.

As Dr. Zhang's rescue efforts deepened, the child's small figure lay on the hospital bed, being pressed and pressed repeatedly.

As a father, I really feel a little guilty.

The child's mother closed her eyes in despair.

Enough, really enough.

She was truly gratified that Dr. Ogawa had been so dedicated to the rescue.

But sometimes it really is a matter of helplessness.

Despite the doctors' best efforts to save the child, there was still no sign of the child waking up.

Even a top CPR expert, someone who has saved so many lives, is now helpless.

To be honest, they don't ask for anything anymore.

Accept your fate!
Accepted!
"Ugh--"

Chang Maimai's mother slapped her thigh hard, and then collapsed to the ground like a boneless octopus.

I originally thought that Dr. Ogawa could save my grandson.

To my utter surprise, it didn't happen.

My intestines are really green.

Why did I have to do the laundry in the first place?

If there were no laundry to do, the family would be happily preparing dinner at this time, and then watching the little guy eat with great enthusiasm.

But now they can only stay in this cold hospital.

“I said before that there was no need to torture the child. The child was beyond saving. If you don’t believe me, look at all the results so far.”

Deputy Director Luo's full name is Luo Feng.

He was shaking his head and sighing.

"Director Luo, you can't say that. Although Xiao Chuan's rescue didn't restore the child's heartbeat, he at least tried his best to save the life. If everyone did what you did, there would be no miracles in this world, because miracles are unexpected."

As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, Li Tinglan immediately added a sentence.

She arrived a while ago.

I've even been watching Ogawa for over thirty minutes now.

I originally thought that Xiaochuan would have a sure thing.

Forty minutes have passed, and the baby still shows no signs of recovery.

Judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that it will succeed.

"Director Li, I know that Dr. Zhang Lingchuan is the doctoral student you will be supervising, but shouldn't we be realistic? The baby is beyond saving, just like a dead person. It's ridiculous to expect them to come back to life. Besides, there are some things I don't want to point out."

After hearing Li Tinglan say that, Luo, the deputy director of the pediatrics department, immediately replied with equal force.

"Deputy Director Luo, what do you mean by not wanting to make things clear? What do you mean by that?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Nan Wenzhong's eyes.

"Director Nan, I don't want to be so explicit. After all, we'll be seeing each other all the time, and the leadership has always emphasized the importance of unity."

Luo Feng looked at Li Tinglan with a different kind of gaze.

"???"

Li Tinglan was filled with countless questions.

"Deputy Director Luo, are you playing the riddle game here? What do you mean by not wanting to say it so clearly? What can't you say so clearly? There are so many netizens here today. If you don't explain clearly, people who don't know will think that I, Li Tinglan, have some kind of shady secret!"

Then, frowning, she asked, "This is really something new."

"Yes, Deputy Director Luo, Dr. Xiao Chuan's efforts in treating him were actually very proactive. He even came all the way from the provincial hospital. It's inappropriate for you to say it like that, especially since it's all so vague..."

Nan Wenzhong nodded in agreement with Director Li Tinglan's words.

Regardless of the outcome of the rescue efforts.

Ogawa is always doing positive things.

There's no need to say that.

"Director Nan, Director Li, since you're both pretending to be ignorant and asking me why, let me ask you this: It was clearly beyond saving, yet you've been trying to resuscitate him for so long, and there's even filming equipment here. Are you sure this isn't just profiting from human suffering?!"

Luo Feng pointed at the camera.

He had just returned from the island nation not long ago.

In his view, Dr. Zhang Lingchuan is just an internet celebrity doctor who gained popularity by riding the wave of online traffic.

Although the hospital agreed to filming today, he was still so determined to resuscitate a child who had already died for another forty minutes, sweating profusely. At first, he thought it was out of humanitarian concern, but now it seems that he underestimated humanity.

Zhang Lingchuan is clearly profiting from human suffering.

Since no one's saying it, then he should say it!
Whether it's right or wrong is for netizens to decide!
"!"

"!!"

"This……"

In an instant, the scene erupted in uproar.

Even the child's parents were dumbfounded.

Because no one had thought of this angle at that moment.

Could this rescue have been a publicity stunt, with Dr. Ogawa trying to attract attention?

"Holy crap! This guy's angle is amazing!!"

"Although societal values ​​often teach us to measure others with kindness, my experience over the years has taught me that I should also measure others with the greatest malice."

"Ridiculous! Their three-month-old baby is already dead, and he's managed to put on this show for so long!"

"You can't say that, what if Veterinarian Zhang is really trying to save someone?"

"Resuscitate my ass! If you can revive someone like that, I'll rip my head off and let him kick it around like a football!"

"+1, I'm telling you, this guy has a histrionic personality disorder. How could he possibly be saved in this situation? If he were to be saved, I'd eat shit live on air."

……

Angry.

The viewers in the live stream were also furious.

People are all cursing that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Others believe it must be a misunderstanding.

However, netizens who immediately expressed their firm opinion said that it could not possibly be a misunderstanding.

"Luo Feng! Nonsense! Do you know that you're making malicious speculations and slandering Xiao Chuan's character?!"

Li Tinglan's pupils constricted upon hearing these words!

She never expected that the other party would think that way.

"Malicious speculation, slander against character? Who would normally try to resuscitate a three-month-old baby who had already failed to be resuscitated after fifty minutes, a child who was already dead, for another forty minutes? Director Li, would you do that? Director Nan, would you do that?"

Luo Feng questioned.

"Look! Dr. Zhang hasn't stopped yet! Still working so hard? He's practically oblivious to everything else. Isn't he just making the most of every minute to profit from this tragedy? He can't possibly have the ability to bring a child back to life, can he? I really wish he'd prove me wrong! Too bad he's not... ugh!!"

"?"

"??"

"!!!"

"Holy shit! Holy shit!!"

"No, this can't be! How could this happen?!"

"Holy crap! Am I seeing a ghost?! Or am I hallucinating?!"

Suddenly, just as Luo Feng was pressing his advantage with a barrage of questions, and Li Tinglan and Nan Wenzhong were at a disadvantage, a loud bang rang out, and the live stream exploded!

Netizens witnessed the most unbelievable scene of their lives!

Luo Feng was so surprised that he opened his mouth into an "O" shape.
