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

Chapter 377 His psychological defenses collapsed, his hands trembled—this man wouldn't live much longer! [Seeking monthly votes]

In the ward.

Next to Xiao Qiu's hospital bed, near the window, there was an extra blue chair.

Xiao Qiu sat on the blue chair.

A piece of fabric with small pink floral print was wrapped around her shoulders.

The nurse was carrying a tray.

On the plate were a square sponge and a silver-white barber's razor.

"Qiuqiu, shall we get a haircut to catch the bugs?"

The nurse, a young woman in her early twenties, was wearing white rubber gloves and asked with a smile.

"it is good!!"

Xiao Qiu nodded.

"Zi-"

At that very moment, the nurse grabbed Xiaoqiu's hair, and the razor made a sharp sound.

"Getting ready for a haircut? Xiao Qiu, are you afraid of shaving your head bald?"

The nurse asked gently.

"Don't be afraid! Mom said that cutting your head bald is to catch bugs, and after catching the bugs, Xiao Qiu will be fine."

Xiao Qiu always kept smiling.

"Qiuqiu is so brave~"

The nurse started shaving his head.

"It's so itchy~"

Xiao Qiu flashed a row of big white teeth and shrank her head back a little.

Mo Zhenxing and Li Caiping watched quietly, their hearts feeling as if they were being filled with vinegar, sour as if they were about to burst.

This is something every child goes through before surgery: having their hair shaved.

Once your hair is shaved, it means you're ready for surgery.

This means that...

Watch and watch.

Li Caiping could no longer hold back.

Without realizing it, she turned her back and pulled out a tissue to wipe her already red eyes.

My daughter loves beauty so much, but now her beloved hair is going to be shaved off, and the amazing thing is that she isn't scared at all.

They were even very cooperative during the haircut, smiling broadly.

She believed that once she cut her hair and had surgery to remove the worms from her head, she would recover and never have headaches, get sick, or even go blind again.

But no one told her.

The surgery may fail.

If she fails, she will never see this world again, nor her parents in this world.

"Daddy~, I've finished cutting it. Now the doctor should be able to see the worm, right?"

The little girl had her hair cut in no time.

She even waved happily to her father, Mo Zhenxing.

"Yes, now the doctor can see the worms in Qiuqiu's head."

Mo Zhenxing originally had a very strong ability to control his emotions.

A man should never shed tears in front of his wife, especially his daughter.

But this messed-up world...

Sometimes, just one sentence can instantly break down your mental defenses, and tears will involuntarily stream down your face.

Initially, my daughter didn't want to get her hair cut.

How did they manage to persuade them?

Tell your daughter that her hair is blocking the doctor's view, so we need to shave our heads so that the doctor can see the worms in her head better.

At the time, they even hoped their daughter would cry or make a fuss.

No.

The child is so sensible it breaks your heart.

Right after that, the other party agreed to cut her hair, saying that once the doctor finished catching the bugs, Xiao Qiu would be fine and wouldn't have to be sick and make her mother take care of her or make her father worry. She could also have a meal with the veterinarian.

Xiao Qiu had made an agreement with the veterinarian.

If we catch some bugs, we'll go eat together.

People are strange sometimes; when a child is too sensible, it can inexplicably make you feel sad and bring you to tears.

She really, really wants to get better.

Just like other normal children.

"Come on, let Mom wash Xiaoqiu's hair."

The two nurses who were cutting hair had already left.

But there are still some dandruff on my daughter's head, so she needs to wash it.

"Let me do it."

Mo Zhenxing walked over.

Pick up a towel.

Li Caiping nodded silently, then hugged her daughter, a warm little cotton-padded jacket.

"Mom, this seems to be the first time Dad has washed Xiaoqiu's hair, right?"

Very nice.

The little girl is so well-behaved.

She was lying face down in her mother's arms.

In her memory, this was the first time her father had washed her hair.

He is always very busy.

My mother and I could only watch my father's truck pass by from a bridge on a highway near our home. They waved and he honked his horn, a brief encounter that lasted only a few seconds.

"No, when Xiao Qiu was little, her dad used to wash her hair often, but he did it less often after he started driving a sports car."

The husband is very considerate towards his daughter.

He just said that he later went to drive a large truck.

As we all know, truck drivers are a profession that means they rarely spend time at home.

In other words, I go home when I don't want to run and want to rest.

It's simply impossible to have regular holidays like other professions.

The busier the truck drivers are during normal holidays.

"Oh... After we catch the bugs, Daddy, how about you come home more often to wash Qiuqiu's hair?"

Five years old.

This is when I'm most talkative.

Perhaps Xiao Qiu also really liked her father washing her hair, because she immediately asked him.

"Okay, okay, after we catch the bugs, Dad will come home often to help Xiao Qiu wash her hair."

Mo Zhenxing awkwardly and carefully wiped his daughter's head with a towel.

Her once jet-black hair was now bald, like a peeled duck egg.

"Ta-da! Baby, look what Daddy bought for you!"

Dry your hair.

At that moment, Li Caiping took out a small pink hat from her pocket.

"It's a pink apple hat!"

Xiao Qiu happily took the hat.

"Does it look good?"

Li Caiping led her to the mirror, and the mother and daughter showed themselves in front of the mirror.

"nice!"

The hat is pink and shaped like an apple, with a small pink apple decoration on top.

The child's father carefully washed the item after selecting it and brought it to his daughter, hoping that she would be safe and sound this time.

"Give Mommy a kiss~"

Xiao Qiu was hugging her mother's neck when Li Caiping leaned over and kissed her daughter's cheek.

It's 8:30 in the morning.

The surgery is scheduled for 3 p.m.

"Dad, look why Mom is crying again. Be strong, Qiuqiu doesn't cry."

Xiao Qiu wiped away the tears her mother had smeared on her face.

"Daddy, can we go outside for some fresh air?"

Mo Zhenxing reached out his hand.

"Hmm~"

The two went downstairs.

Although she had been downstairs many times, five-year-old Xiao Qiu seemed to have an endless exploration to do, and was extremely happy.

ten o'clock.

"Then let's sign it."

In Dr. Zhou Qing's office.

"I have fully understood all the details of the doctor's consultation... In the event of an unexpected emergency during treatment, I agree to accept the necessary treatment from your hospital."

[Doctor's Signature: ——]

[Patient himself:——]

[Patient's family member: Li Caiping]

With her husband and daughter by her side, Li Caiping signed her name.

"Then let's hope everything goes smoothly this afternoon."

After examining the documents and confirming that there were no problems, Dr. Zhou Qing put them away.

"The surgery is finally happening, Xiaoqiu's mom. We believe Xiaoqiu will be able to get through this."

this period of time.

The "Lifeline" program team has been working on it all along.

They are the host Tang Xiaoyin, the photographer Xiao Li, and the overall coordinator Fang Junliang.

During the time they spent together, Tang Xiaoyin was actually quite moved.

Although she is not married and doesn't even have children yet, she can't imagine how much psychological resilience a mother would need to bear if her own child encountered something like this.

She couldn't remember how many times Li Caiping had cried, and she herself couldn't get over it for a long time after returning home.

Even a grown man like Xiao Li would often smoke one or two cigarettes, then wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Reporter Tang, do you know that my hand was shaking when I signed just now?"

Li Caiping looked at Tang Xiaoyin, her mind completely blank.

It's like signing a death waiver for your own daughter.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqiu's mom, Director Zhou and his team are highly skilled doctors, Xiaoqiu will definitely be fine."

The time came to noon.

It's mealtime.

"Director, they're still practicing separation."

A young nurse walked in and saw the head nurse intently peeling an orange, and immediately greeted her.

Judging from the other party's performance, Director Zhou must also frequently conduct similar separation training.

"Well, practice makes perfect, there's no harm in practicing more."

Performing surgery, especially neurosurgery, is often described as dancing on the edge of a knife or walking on a cliff.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Even the slightest mistake, however small, could cause damage to a patient that could affect their entire life.

"I'll learn from Director Zhou. This is some water for you."

The nurse put Zhou Qing's water down.

The brain's separate tissues are somewhat similar to the structure of an orange's segments, especially the groove in the middle.

What Zhou Qing is doing now is using instruments to separate the whole orange without damaging it.

In reality, this is just to maintain the feel of the game.

Because in actual operation, the arachnoid membrane is much thinner than this.

But this training was also very meaningful.

During the separation process, neurosurgeons often discuss whose surgery was better, and the standard lies in the movements. Top surgeons can achieve precise separation with a single movement, while less skilled surgeons may need two or three movements, or even longer.

The same applies to excision. Some doctors can complete the excision in two or three movements, while others need seven or eight movements or even longer to complete the excision.

It goes without saying whose medical skills are superior.

When a surgeon treats a lesion, the fewer movements they use, the more precise they are, and the lower the probability of making a mistake.

The chances of encountering problems when you perform seven or eight movements are definitely higher than when you perform two or three movements.

The separation process is complete.

Director Zhou Qing started stitching again.

However, his suturing was different from others because he used an extremely fine suture, clinically known as 12-0.

It is also the finest suture used in neurosurgery, several times finer than a human hair.

It is almost invisible to the naked eye.

It is mainly used to suture blood vessels.

Director Zhou Qing's suturing training mainly involved suturing a silicone tube with a diameter of two millimeters using a 12-0 suture material.

This can help improve the smoothness of vascular anastomosis and microscopic operations.

Unless it is necessary to attend a meeting or travel for business.

In the office, Zhou Qing trains almost every day to maintain his skill level.

For surgeons, especially neurosurgeons, having a feel for things is crucial.

Because if they are not careful, it could affect the patient's entire life.

Therefore, his principle is that a doctor must have superb medical skills and must do his best to treat the patients under his care.

Meanwhile, at the provincial hospital on the other side.

"Doctor...Doctor, is there really no way to save my husband's hand? Please, please think of something!!"

Zhang Lingchuan and Yin Xiaoxiao were busy running around in the emergency department.

Suddenly a middle-aged woman called out to them.

She even grabbed Zhang Lingchuan's sleeve.

"Sigh... It's not that we have no way, it's that we do. What can we do if your husband doesn't cherish us?"

Yin Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Just imagine, Director Huang was so angry that he cursed her and smashed her signboard.

It's easy to imagine how serious this matter is.

Who wouldn't want your hand to get better?

The key is that if you're not ambitious enough, who can you blame?

"Family member, I understand your feelings, but Vice President Huang personally performed your husband's surgery. She is the top expert in severed fingers in Northeast China. Even fingers that have been flattened can recover, and even recover to a certain extent. Your husband originally had no problems at all, and his finger function could recover to at least 95%. However, he cannot touch smoke at all. If he touches it, his hand will suffer from insufficient blood supply and necrosis. It's like a cooked chicken; you obviously can't bring it back to life."

Look at the woman's pitiful eyes.

Zhang Lingchuan explained.

It's not that we don't want to help.

There was nothing we could do.

My teacher's wife is already a top-tier expert.

What can you do if someone's cursing you?

It's like cooking a live chicken and then trying to bring it back to life—how could that be possible?
We're not gods!
"Oh no! How could this happen! This, this! Ugh! Why would you smoke for no reason at all! Why would you smoke?!"

The woman is a recent arrival.

Angry.

I'm so angry!!
In the ward.

After she returned, the place became even more eerily quiet.

Since the day the surgery failed, Qiu Daqiang has never smiled again.

Now that I can't take my hands back, how am I going to find a job?
That's practically equivalent to becoming disabled!

"Look at you! Why are you so addicted to smoking! The doctor said you can't smoke, why do you insist on smoking? Now you can't use your hands, who will support this family! The children are still in school!"

The woman spoke.

She was wiping away her tears.

A hospital is a complex place where you can see all walks of life.

Yin Xiaoxiao has seen many people who are filled with regret and wish they could take a remedy for their mistakes.

They laugh and joke when they're trying to avoid doctors or disobey medical advice, but they stop laughing when serious consequences actually occur.

This is the result of taking the doctor's words lightly.

Since it's been repeatedly reminded, it must have its own purpose, and it's crucial!

"Dr. Ogawa."

As they walked, Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Lingchuan.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?"

After being called out like that, Zhang Lingchuan looked puzzled.

I want to know what's wrong with Xiaoxiao.

"Did you know that the child named Mo Xiaoqiu that you saw in Liangshan had surgery at 3 pm this afternoon?"

Yin Xiaoxiao said.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon... Xiaoxiao, your information comes faster than the outside media. I remember the specific time of the surgery wasn't announced, right?"

I heard that Xiao Qiu was going to have surgery.

Zhang Lingchuan was slightly taken aback.

Actually, he had been paying attention to Xiao Qiu all along.

However, the information online only states that the other party will undergo surgery in the next two days, but the specific surgery time is unknown.

I never expected that Xiaoxiao would know about time.

“I have an aunt who works at Tiantan Hospital, so I asked her out of curiosity. I didn’t expect the surgery to be scheduled for 3 pm today. Dr. Xiaochuan, do you think Xiaoqiu will be able to get through it safely?”

Yin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Lingchuan with her big eyes.

"I've noticed that you all seem to like asking me these kinds of questions. Xiaoxiao, I'm a doctor, not a fortune teller..."

Zhang Lingchuan rubbed his forehead.

Although deep down he hoped Xiao Qiu would be safe.

In reality, it was Dr. Zhou Qing's team that truly propelled the gears of the other party's fate.

"Dr. Ogawa, I heard that you two had arranged to have a meal together?"

Yin Xiaoxiao was still looking at Zhang Lingchuan.

"what?"

Zhang Lingchuan was stunned for a moment.

It's as if it's saying, "How did you know? This matter hasn't been exposed yet."

"Haha, my aunt said that Xiao Qiu is very active and cheerful in the ward, and is a source of joy for many people. She even promised the veterinarian to come here to catch bugs, and after catching the bugs, we'll have dinner together~"

Yin Xiaoxiao recounted what she had heard.

"This child..."

Zhang Lingchuan had mixed feelings.

I hope the surgery at 3 PM goes smoothly!!

Beijing Tiantan Hospital.

2:50.

"Go, Xiao Qiu!!"

"Xiao Qiu, your brother is waiting for you here."

"Uncle bought you a present too, so you can play with your brother later!!"

In the ward.

Little Fatty's father also came.

They all encouraged Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu was being held by her mother.

She was wearing an apple-shaped hat and a beige blanket. If you looked closely, it was no longer her favorite clothes, but a small blue and white striped hospital gown.

"Bye~"

Qiuqiu didn't know why.

There was a strange atmosphere among everyone.

She didn't feel the same happy feeling she had when she got her hair cut that morning; she didn't laugh, but she didn't cry either.

"Qiuqiu, be good. Mommy will be waiting outside in a little while, you know?"

Li Caiping is holding her daughter.

The father followed beside him.

They were walking towards the operating room.

Around the corner, I saw a group of doctors wearing green sterile gowns.

One of them came over and extended his hand.

She is the female doctor who often performs tests on Xiao Qiu, but now she blends into the color scheme of her surroundings.

Blue sterile cap, blue mask, green sterile gown and gloves.

The only area on the entire body where normal skin can be seen is around the eyes.

"Xiao Qiu, you have to be strong, okay? We'll come out after the doctor, the doctor aunt, and the doctor uncle have removed the worms."

Li Caiping handed her daughter over.

The blanket slipped off at that moment.

The small hospital gown and her somewhat thin body were visible.

"Mom, will you come with me to catch bugs?"

But Li Caiping felt a pair of small hands grab her clothes at her shoulder.

"Mommy isn't a doctor, Xiao Qiu. Be good, it'll be quick. Cooperate with the doctor grandpa and the doctor uncles and aunts, and Mommy and Daddy will be waiting for you outside."

Xiao Qiu was taken away by the doctor.

The blanket, hat, and toys were all on her mother's side. The doctor was holding her, and she was only wearing a blue and white hospital gown, and her head was shaved.

"Bye~"

The little guy stretched out his hand and waved.

"Bye~"

"Mom and Dad are waiting for you outside~"

The couple waved goodbye.

Finally, they saw the doctor carry Xiao Qiu into the operating room, and the back of his figure as a gray door closed.

"Family members, please move out."

The doctor outside said something.

Palpitations.

The couple stood helplessly outside.

Seeing the words "Operation in Progress" made it hard to breathe.

Meanwhile, in the operating room on the other side, Mo Xiaoqiu was already lying on the hospital bed.

However, the other person did not cry or make a fuss; instead, they looked at everything with great curiosity, as well as the various strange items in the operating room.

"Auntie will give you a prick, it might hurt a little, Xiaoqiu, you have to bear with it!"

A female doctor took Xiaoqiu's hand and immediately began to insert acupuncture.

But what happened was unexpected.

Xiao Qiu was no longer distressed or rebellious as before. Even after leaving her parents, she had no expression on her face, and her big almond-shaped eyes still looked around.

"Good girl, what does Xiao Qiu like to eat?"

"I like to eat cherries."

He even chatted with the doctors.

"The cherries are so sweet! The aunties love them too. After we go out to catch some bugs, can you ask Mom and Dad to buy some for Xiaoqiu?"

"Okay~"

Xiao Qiu smiled.

He flashed a bright white smile.

"Come on, now we're going to put on this bra and get ready to catch bugs!"

The doctor put an oxygen mask on Xiaoqiu.

Anesthesia also begins here.

Perhaps Xiao Qiu herself was also very eager to catch the worms so that her father and especially her mother would no longer worry, so she cooperated very well.

Even the doctors were somewhat surprised.

Because they have encountered many patients.

Children often don't behave well when they come here.

Xiao Qiu acted like a little adult.

"Drip-drip-"

In the operating room.

The instrument beeped.

Xiao Qiu has already entered the stage of anesthesia and coma.

The doctors were laying out sterile drapes, and Dr. Zhou Qing also came over. This surgery mainly focused on two aspects: the first was whether the tumor could be removed, which was related to the future recurrence rate.

The second question is whether the pituitary gland can be preserved.

Because the pituitary gland is very important, as it relates to a series of issues such as a person's future height and sexual development.

three o'clock.

The surgery started on time.

"Here, give me the microscopic tweezers."

Zhou Qing made his move.

The next steps involve cutting open the scalp, using a milling cutter to create a bone flap, stopping the bleeding from the wound, and releasing cerebrospinal fluid to reduce intracranial pressure. However, these are all standard procedures. The most troublesome issue is the tumor in its unusual location.

Emergency departments at provincial hospitals outside of Beijing.

Zhang Lingchuan and Yin Xiaoxiao were also extremely troubled.

It turned out to be an old man in his sixties.

My family measured my blood pressure and it was a little low. In addition, my partner had a heart attack before, so I thought that the doctor had said before that we should pay attention to low blood pressure.

Then they brought him to the hospital.

The hospital measured basic vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate.

The patient's systolic blood pressure was 87 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure was 55 mmHg, and heart rate was 52 beats per minute.

Typical myocardial ischemia.

"Family members, we recommend that you be hospitalized immediately and transferred to the intensive care unit."

Fang Yuan said at this moment.

Under supervision, prohibited from leaving the house, and required to stay in bed.

After all, this patient's condition is quite critical right now.

"Isn't that unnecessary?! I don't even feel any pain!!"

The patient's surname is Yue, and his given name is Yue Zhengxiang.

Hearing the doctor say he needed to be hospitalized and sent to some kind of intensive care unit, he immediately became dissatisfied.

"No way! Doctor! My dad just needs an IV drip, why would he need to be sent to the ICU? Why are you making such a fuss? He didn't even feel any pain."

Beside him was a slightly younger woman.

There was also a woman who was about the same age as Yue Zhengxiang.

Like his wife and daughter.

"Dududu-"

Right now.

The woman's phone rang.

"Hey honey, has my dad been taken to the hospital yet?"

The voice on the phone belonged to a man in his thirties or forties.

"Dad and the others have been brought to the hospital. They're in the emergency department of the provincial hospital. Honey, you can focus on your work. Leave Dad's situation to me. I'll handle it perfectly."

The woman's name was Pan Xiaoyue.

This is her husband's father.

"Okay, my wife is great~, I'll go and get busy now, I have a meeting here and can't get back so quickly."

The man felt much relieved when he heard his wife say that.

hospital.

"Yes, Xiaoyue is right, an IV drip will do the trick."

Yue Zhengxiang agreed with his daughter-in-law's words.

I don't feel any pain myself, and I'm fine.

That's not as exaggerated as it sounds.

"Madam, Mr. Yue, I want to tell you that if you no longer feel pain after a myocardial infarction, it doesn't mean your condition has improved. The disappearance of pain may be due to changes in nerve signals caused by the death of myocardial cells, or it may be due to medication relieving symptoms. But this does not mean that your heart function has returned to normal, so you are still in danger!"

Zhang Lingchuan couldn't help but say something.

It's alright!

They're still on an IV drip!

The last person who insisted on receiving intravenous fluids is still not out of the hospital.

He also did a system scan.

The other party directly offered a task to help.

The task reward is issued when the patient's vital signs stabilize.

But if it's an IV drip.

He felt the task was too difficult.

"Yes, IV fluids are absolutely not an option!"

Fang Yuan nodded in response.

What I fear most are patients who are self-righteous.

"But going to the ICU is too much. I asked my best friend, and those ICUs are very strict places. Under normal circumstances, you don't need to go in there. It's not appropriate for my dad to go to such a place!"

Pan Xiaoyue immediately said.

She has a close friend who is a doctor.

"As Dr. Ogawa just said, the absence of pain does not mean that the heart is not ischemic, nor does it mean that the heart has resumed blood supply. More likely, it is because the previous myocardial infarction caused necrosis and the pain is not manifested."

Fang Yuan rubbed his forehead.

"But my dad is so good! Right, Dad? You don't think there's anything wrong with him!"

Pan Xiaoyue asked Yue Zhengxiang.

"It's really no problem, doctor. I don't want to be hospitalized. I just want an IV drip. Actually, I didn't want to come. It was my son who kept urging me to come!"

I took my blood pressure at home.

The result was found to be too low.

His son urged him to come over.

But he himself had no symptoms and really didn't want to come.

"No! If you need an IV drip, I suggest you go to a more specialized hospital!"

Fang Yuan's attitude was tough.

"Doctor, are you refusing to treat me?"

Pan Xiaoyue frowned.

They pulled back and forth.

"Alright, alright, then a regular ward, a regular ward. Here's your liability waiver!"

Fang Yuan said helplessly.

Soon the relevant informed consent forms were signed, and the girl even boasted to her husband that she had saved a lot of money that day.

"Chuchu, keep a close eye on this patient."

Fang Yuan explained.

He instructed a junior nurse to take good care of the patient.

"Ah."

The nurse nodded.

Zhang Lingchuan left with Dr. Fang Yuan and the others, and he looked very haggard at the time.

"Xiao Chuan, just watch, he won't live much longer."

Just then, Fang Yuan said something.

"???"

Zhang Lingchuan was filled with surprise upon hearing Dr. Fang's words.

Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her head, her little brows furrowed tightly.

Meanwhile, on the other side is Tiantan Hospital.

The scalpel continued to advance, and finally found the 'worm' hidden inside Xiao Qiu's head.

The surgery for craniopharyngioma consists of two steps: the first step is to expose the tumor, and the second step is to separate the tumor.

These two steps may seem simple, but they are actually quite difficult to implement.

Because the tumor is surrounded by vital blood vessels and nerves, even the slightest difference could lead to Xiao Qiu's permanent blindness or even prevent her from ever coming off the operating table again.

"This is difficult... This situation is more complicated than we anticipated from the outside."

Zhou Qing frowned.

……

　Hey everyone, I only wrote 8000 words today, I'll try harder tomorrow~ Ugh, I haven't even finished Xiao Qiu's story yet! I was planning to finish it, but the surgery details are a bit complicated, and I'm having some writer's block~
