Chapter 1049 A Little Smart, But Not Much
Not knowing what the disease was, he couldn't say for sure that he could save the patient. Although he did save most of the patients, that was based on the knowledge of the patient's condition. No one can make empty promises.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Lu Jingxing dared not say anything certain.

Grandma stretched out a hand and held Lu Jingxing tightly: "Can you save it?"

"You have to let me see first..." Lu Jingxing remained calm as usual. His grandmother grabbed his hand hard and he couldn't break free.

But grandma quickly lowered her head again: "But, I don't have that much money. If it needs surgery, it will cost a lot of money..."

"Grandma, can we wait until we take a look at it first?" Lu Jingxing comforted her. How many pets have given up their lives just because their owners have no money? He couldn't care about what he didn't see, and he couldn't care about so many things, but this was in front of him, he couldn't just ignore it.

So, the little guy soon came into Lu Jingxing's hands.

He checked and found that although the little guy's breath was very weak, he was definitely still alive. He even coughed a few times after being transferred to Lu Jingxing's hands and changing his position.

"Please wait here. I'll take it in for a checkup..." Hearing the little guy's cough, Lu Jingxing immediately became serious and said to the girl at the front desk, "Take grandma to the lounge and wait. I'll take Diudiu in for a checkup first."

The girl had been observing this place, and when she heard Lu Jingxing's arrangement, she immediately came over: "Okay..."

The grandmother also stood up, and the girl quickly comforted her: "Come on, grandma, let's go to the lounge and wait, we will try our best to save it."

Grandma wiped away her tears gently, stood up obediently, and took the girl's hand: "Thank you so much..."

Lu Jingxing brought the little guy into the examination room and took it for an ultrasound examination first.

The little guy had a big belly and didn’t open his eyes once from beginning to end.

Most people would give up on it if it looked like this, because it was hanging on by a thread.

Even Fang Guo, who was helping to examine it, advised Lu Jingxing: "Boss Lu, do we still need to save it?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It is indeed a bit difficult, but no matter whether we can save him or not, let's find out the disease first, which can also be regarded as a learning process."

The more difficult the symptoms, the more interested Lu Jingxing is.

During the examination, the little guy woke up slowly, and since then, he has been gasping for breath whenever he breathes.

Lu Jingxing quickly went through all the tests he thought were necessary.

The test results came out very quickly.

"Hurry up and prepare for the operation..." When Xi Wenxin and Fang Guo came over, Lu Jingxing immediately gave the order.

"Tracheal collapse is very dangerous, and the patient has congenital heart disease..." Lu Jingxing didn't even have time to explain to Xi Wenxin and the others.

Xi Wenxin and Fang Guo also saw the problem from the checklist.

Lu Jingxing and Fang Guo quickly determined the surgical plan.

Xi Wenxin tried to explain to the little guy's owner, the grandmother.

"Grandma, has your dog Diudiu been examined before? Do you know what diseases he has?" Xi Wenxin half-knelt in front of grandma and asked patiently.

"I don't know. When I picked it up, it wasn't in good condition. But later it was able to eat and drink with me. I don't know what disease it has... Is it hopeless?" This time, grandma held Xi Wenxin tightly, looking inside from time to time.

"Grandma, this is what's going on. We just checked Diudiu and found that he has severe heart disease and tracheal collapse. He needs surgery immediately. Do you agree?" This grandma seemed to have poor hearing. When Xi Wenxin talked to her, she would put her right ear close to him.

Therefore, Xi Wenxin's voice unconsciously became louder than usual.

"I agree, of course I agree, but, young man, does it cost a lot of money? I don't have any..." Grandma said as she reached out with a trembling hand and took out a small sewn bag from her trouser pocket: "I'll give you all my money, please save Diudiu, okay?"

Xi Wenxin pressed his hand forward: "Grandma, let's not worry about the money for now, let's save it first, okay? We'll figure out a way to deal with the money later. Now we just need your consent to perform surgery on it, don't you agree?"

“Can you still have the surgery without money?” Grandma took out all her money, including a few hundred-yuan bills and some crumpled change. “I collected all this by picking up waste. Every day when I go to pick up waste, my Diudiu will be with me.”

"Grandma, no need. You keep the money first. This is enough. Now we need your signature before we can perform the surgery. And we have to do it right away. If we delay any longer, it will be fatal." Xi Wenxin explained patiently.

He didn't have time to think about what he would do if Lu Jingxing was not there, but he knew that as long as Lu Jing was there, the operation would be done on this little Teddy bear named Diudiu.

But there is still a prerequisite, which is that the owner has to sign, which is required in all their stores.

What they are afraid of is that they will do good things and end up being involved in lawsuits.

Although, so far, there have been very few unsuccessful surgeries performed by Lu Jingxing, but in Lu Jingxing's own words, who can guarantee 100% of such a thing?

Besides, who would dare to bet on people's hearts?

Just like grandma's situation, she might have been mentally prepared, because she brought the little one here for comfort.

But what if, after they kindly performed the surgery, something unexpected happened to the little one, and the grandmother's family came to cause trouble again?
Therefore, the elderly person must sign the document before the operation can be performed.

But, Xi Wenxin said this and grandma said that, and he was a little angry. He silently suspected in his heart that grandma didn't do it on purpose.
Xi Wenxin didn't come in for a long time. After Lu Jingxing made all the preparations, he came out with the consent form for the surgery.

Seeing this, Xi Wenxin quickly stood up and spread his hands helplessly: "I said one thing and she said another..."

Lu Jingxing took out the consent form and pen and said loudly to his grandmother, "Grandma, we are going to perform surgery on Diudiu. Please sign..."

When she saw it was Lu Jingxing, grandma's eyes lit up: "Is Diudiu saved?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly and nodded: "It is very ill, we need to perform surgery on it immediately, please sign..."

Then, he read the contents of the surgery consent form to his grandmother word by word.

"Okay, I'll sign it. I'll sign it right away..." Grandma was sober now. She listened carefully to what Lu Jingxing said, stuffed the wallet into Lu Jingxing's hand, took the consent form, and carefully signed the three words "Wu Xiaomei" where Xi Wenxin pointed.

Lu Jingxing took the consent form for the surgery and stuffed the wallet back in: "Take good care of your wallet and wait for our news here. The surgery will take two or three hours. If you have any questions, just go to our little sister at the front desk..."

"Okay, okay, we are all good kids, go quickly, go quickly..." Grandma refused to take the wallet and kept urging Lu Jingxing and the others to leave. Lu Jingxing looked up and saw that the surveillance camera was right above their heads, so he wrapped the wallet casually, put it on grandma, and walked out.

They are in a hurry now and have no time to waste on these things.

When he came out, Lu Jingxing said to the girl at the front desk: "Please help keep an eye on it and ask grandma to keep the wallet safe. Remember to keep it under surveillance..."

The girl at the front desk quickly said "oh" and went to greet grandma.

Xi Wenxin followed him into the operating room.

"It should have been having these symptoms for quite some time, it's already in stage three. The diameter of its lumen has been flattened to more than 75 percent. And it has mitral regurgitation, so it keeps coughing..." Lu Jingxing explained to Xi Wenxin and another intern while preparing for the operation.

He should have explained all this to his master, but apparently, explaining it to his grandmother wouldn't be of much use.

But he felt it necessary to talk to Xi Wenxin and the intern about this kind of on-site explanation.

The little guy's cough became worse and worse. Xi Wenxin helped hold its paw so that Lu Jingxing could give it an injection, and said, "This sound is so distressing."

"I just checked. We happen to have a suitable tracheal stent. Otherwise, this operation cannot be performed for a while..." After the injection, Lu Jingxing installed a matching device for the stent: "The risk of anesthesia is relatively high in this case. Be sure to pay attention..."

"The anesthesia room is ready..." Xi Wenxin nodded.

The two of them took the little guy to the anesthesia room.

The operation takes a long time, and one anesthesia may not be enough for the little guy.

Sure enough, something went wrong during the first anesthesia.

"Hurry, the heart rate is dropping, and the qi and blood are dropping." Although Lu Jingxing was not panicked, he was also a little anxious.

Then they immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the little guy. Fortunately, although it was dangerous, he was rescued quickly.

"Move the anesthesia machine directly to the DR room. We must monitor its heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure and other stable conditions in real time..." The anesthesia room here is separated from the operating room, unlike Longan, where the operating room and anesthesia room are together.

The main reason is actually because the machines here are more advanced than those in Longan.

However, this situation is also quite common.

The operation went on normally again, but this time, the little guy was allowed to breathe oxygen for a while before the operation began.

Three hours later, grandma finally saw Lu Jingxing.

He took off his mask and said to grandma with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, the operation went smoothly, and the position of its trachea was also very good. It had already woken up before I came out, and its breathing has obviously improved..."

Grandma kept expressing her gratitude and was almost bowing down to express her gratitude.

Considering grandma's actual situation, Lu Jingxing applied for the rescue of Diudiu as a stray dog ​​rescue. This makes sense because grandma said that she picked it up and it was a little stray dog.

However, Lu Jingxing guessed that the reason why it wandered was probably because its previous owner discovered that it had a congenital heart disease.

The little guy stayed in the hospital for three days. When he was discharged, Lu Jingxing had already returned to Long'an. However, Xi Wenxin said that when the grandmother came to pick up the little guy, she still secretly gave him 500 yuan.

That should be all her savings.

This was the old lady's good intention. Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Then take it. When you have time, find grandma and ask her to bring Diudiu here for a few checkups. Although we performed surgery on it, it still needs more attention for its heart disease."

"I have instructed her about this. I told her to bring the little one here if she feels unwell. We will also keep an eye on him. She also left her address..." Xi Wenxin also said with a smile.

After returning to Long'an, when Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei were eating in the cafeteria together, Yang Pei told Lu Jingxing about an interesting thing that happened to him in the past few days.

"A few days ago, a half-grown stray pastoral dog came from nowhere and wandered around our area every day, and occasionally came to grab cat food. I originally wanted to put it directly in the kennel, but seeing that the little guy was fat, I was not sure if it was a stray, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

It came for several days in a row, and I was bored so I ate its eggs, and then gave it anti-inflammatory injections for a few days.

Later I put it away again.

It didn't come for three days, and everyone said it must have hated me.

Guess what, it came again yesterday, and it found me directly and stretched its paw in front of me. When I looked, I saw that its paw was inflamed..." Yang Pei found it funny after she finished speaking.

"He's a bit smart. He knew he was coming to see a doctor...but after getting his balls kicked, he still came to you. He is smart, but probably not much. Haha..." Lu Jingxing also laughed.

They have encountered several cases where cats come to the hospital on their own, but it is rare for dogs to come to the hospital on their own.

Yang Pei also laughed out loud: "I still remember when I smacked Da Huang's eggs, it was sent by its owner, and it scolded me for a week straight. This little idiot, not only did not scold me, but he actually came to me when he was sick."

"Is it cured?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"It's just a fungal infection. I gave it some medicine. However, I've taken it in for so many days and it hasn't had an owner. Since I laid eggs for it, I need to change the medicine. I didn't let it wander outside. It seems to like the kennel very much..." Yang Pei was also happy.

Changing the subject, "By the way, my Yinzi said that Mi Sijia told her that Song Yuan and his family didn't want to hold the wedding in the United States, but decided to come back...Did Song Yuan tell you about this?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No, I guess they haven't fully discussed it yet. Besides, our time difference is not right, so we don't contact each other much. I guess they will tell us when the time comes."

"Yeah, Mi Sijia isn't at work, so she might have more time and can contact Yinzi and the others more often..." Yang Pei also nodded.

"Anyway, no matter where they hold it, we will attend. We have already got the visas and everything..." At that time, they were afraid that they would hold the wedding there, so Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling's visas had already been processed.

Yang Pei and Lu Yin also listened to Lu Jingxing last time and they also got it done.

In Lu Yin's words, she had originally planned to travel at the same time, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.
