Chapter 242 The Mother Who Insisted on Surgery
Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou followed behind the group and soon entered a nearby hospital.

Upon entering the hospital, doctors and nurses quickly came to meet me.

Faced with so many wounded, the doctors orderly wheeled them into the wards.

However, in those days, patients needed to pay upfront for medical treatment.

They simply treated the wound, stopping the bleeding and bandaging it. Then, they contacted the injured person's family.

Especially Fang Yongjie and the little boy with the severed finger.

Fang Yongjie's condition is okay. After the bleeding from the wound on his face stopped, it was found that no bone was damaged, and only simple stitches were needed.

However, since the wound is on the face, the suturing techniques used in China are not yet very advanced. Many people are left with noticeable scars after their wounds are stitched up.

After the doctor explained the pros and cons, Fang Yongjie did not hesitate and chose to have the stitches done.

Although he has scars on his face, it won't affect his work. Fang Yongjie was a soldier before and has seen all kinds of wounds. This time, he was lucky that he was only injured on his face.

However, the little boy's wound was difficult to treat.

This hospital is just a small hospital in a nearby county, and the doctors there are not very skilled.

For highly complex surgeries, there's simply no way to perform them. Not to mention, finger replantation surgery has never been performed in China before.

When the little boy was brought to the train, the young train conductor who had preserved the boy's severed finger told the boy's mother that the finger could be stitched back together.

The young man was unaware that finger replantation surgery is not currently available in China.

However, he remembered what Su Nuannuan said.

Therefore, in response to the boy's desperate mother, the young man revealed the finger replantation surgery that Su Nuannuan had mentioned.

The boy's mother was very excited and happy to hear that her son's finger might recover.

Throughout the journey, she prayed silently.

However, the doctors are now telling her that they will not perform the finger replantation surgery.

Doesn't this mean that there's no chance of my son's finger recovering?
How could the boy's mother accept this happening?

As if she had lost her mind, she grabbed the doctor's collar and screamed hysterically.

"How could that be? My son clearly still has a chance to recover. Don't you want to perform the surgery on my son? Tell me, isn't that right?"

The boy's mother pinned all her hopes on the finger replantation surgery, and she didn't want to believe what the doctor said.

The woman's appearance was so terrifying that it immediately frightened all the doctors and nurses around her.

The young man who had come with them also had a somber expression. He stepped forward and spoke to the doctor.

"Hello, I am Fang Yongjie, a train attendant from the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway Bureau. This young man was injured after being held hostage by a thief. When we brought him here, someone told us that if we could reattach his fingers within twelve hours, they would regain their flexibility. We hope you can do your best to treat him. On behalf of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway Bureau, I thank you."

After saying that, Fang Yongjie bowed deeply.

The doctor was a young man, who looked quite young, like he had just started working. He had initially thought the patient only needed his bleeding stopped, but the patient's parents had insisted on surgery.

Moreover, Fang Yongjie's words put the young doctor in a very difficult position.

His face was completely speechless.

He'd never even heard of finger replantation. How could he possibly perform the surgery?

This doctor was just a junior doctor at the county hospital, who usually only treated common illnesses and sutured wounds.

Now, when asked to undergo some kind of finger replantation surgery, the doctor feels like his head is buzzing.

He was roaring in his heart at that moment.

Good heavens, please don't make things difficult for this rookie doctor!
Although the young doctor was very reluctant to admit that he could not perform finger replantation surgery, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

After all, he had never heard of finger replantation surgery.

The young doctor finally looked troubled and whispered to the seemingly more rational young train conductor.

"I'm sorry, I don't perform finger replantation surgery. My advice for the patient's wound is to bandage it to stop the bleeding," the young train conductor said, his face looking somewhat grim.

"You mean his finger will never recover?"

The young doctor looked at the little boy lying on the stretcher, his face pale, and said with pity.

"Well, that's the theory."

The boy's mother was somewhat distraught; she couldn't accept that her son was disabled. Although her son had only lost his little finger, the woman who considered him her everything couldn't accept it.

"No! No way! I won't accept it. You need to operate on my son right now."

Seeing the woman still twisting his collar, the young doctor knew she wasn't doing it intentionally. He didn't argue with her, but instead pulled his collar free from her grasp.

He looked at the woman and the young man and said.

"I hope you can make a decision quickly. There are still many patients waiting for me to treat."

The woman was no longer listening to anything the doctor said; she couldn't accept it.

The young man looked troubled, but still stepped forward to persuade him.

"Comrade, why don't we listen to the doctor?"

Although Su Nuannuan spoke with great conviction, as she hadn't yet started working, her words were far less credible than those of the young doctor.

The young man quickly believed the doctor's words.

The boy's mother didn't believe it. She pushed the young man away and shouted.

"no!"

Then, she pointed at the other person with her finger, her voice choked with emotion.

"You're the one who said my son's fingers could be saved! It's all your fault!"

The woman is on the verge of emotional collapse. Her mind is filled with a mix of anger and sadness, and she needs someone to vent her anger on.

Clearly, the young man is the target.

When Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou arrived, they saw the two confronting each other.

They exchanged a glance and both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Su Nuannuan pulled the young doctor aside and quickly found out what had happened.

After learning more, Su Nuannuan understood the misunderstanding.

Finger replantation surgery is an advanced technique for doctors in China today. It's quite normal that doctors in a small county like this haven't heard of finger replantation surgery.

Su Nuannuan frowned, unsure of how to offer any advice.

Their argument quickly attracted the attention of other doctors.

The young doctor clearly knew them all and relayed the boy's mother's request.

After saying that, he began to complain.

"What exactly is finger replantation? I've never heard of it, so how could I possibly do it?"

Just then, a middle-aged bald male doctor suddenly spoke up.

"In fact, he does meet the requirements for finger replantation surgery."

The middle-aged, balding male doctor is named Huang Yuan, and he is the most skilled surgeon in the hospital. In order to keep up with the times, Huang Yuan does not just drift along like other doctors; he frequently reads domestic and international news magazines about medicine.

Therefore, I have some understanding of some rare and novel surgical procedures.

Finger replantation surgery is one such example.
