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

"Number 032, Gu Qianxun, please go to consultation room number 5."

Just then, a sound came from the loudspeaker on the third floor of the pediatric ward.

"Little Xunxun, it's our turn!"

Soon a woman with a somewhat haggard face jogged over, calling out to the father and daughter with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Come on, let's go see the doctors, little Xunxun is so great!"

The man is Gu Chao.

The woman was his wife, named Jiang Mei.

They named their daughter Chihiro.

It was a beautiful-sounding name, and I had hoped that my daughter would live a beautiful life. However, I never expected that she would be diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of five.

The sky is falling.

"Ah."

The little girl was still leaning on her father's shoulder, with a large fever-reducing patch on her forehead.

My daughter had been running a high fever. The local hospital said that her fever would not go down and that she would die from it. They couldn't accept this, but they had no choice but to trust the hospital in their province and take their child home. They never wanted their daughter to die on a cold hospital bed.

He died at home.

Now I'll know where my home is.

If ghosts exist in this world, they might even occasionally pop out and surprise my parents.

To their astonishment, their daughter's fever miraculously subsided after they returned home, at which point they realized what had happened.

Children all want to live.

Why should they give up?!

So while my daughter's fever was breaking, I went out to see various specialists and doctors.

But things have been a bit off these past two days.

Especially today, my daughter seems to have started having a fever again.

They had a strong intuition that this fever might cause their daughter to disappear from their lives forever.

Not reconciled.

Such a lively and energetic girl.

So if they have the ability, if there is even the slightest hope, they want to try.

"What's wrong, baby? Do you have a fever?"

After the child came in, Ke Yingtong asked him.

Shen Ziwen was also in the back of the consultation room.

His approach is basically the same as that of his senior, Xiao Chuan.

My mom arranged it.

Director Ke Yingtong nominally mentored him, but in reality, Director Ke was the head of pediatrics and was quite busy. So, in addition to this big boss, there was actually a small boss, namely Dr. Yu Shushuang.

So when the big boss went out to make house calls, Shen Ziwen would accompany him to see patients and learn.

The big boss even learned from the surgery.

Normally, he would stay by the side of the small business owner.

It's practically a direct copy of the model that Xiao Chuan, Dr. Fang Yuan, and his mother used to follow.

My mom is a big boss, and Teacher Fang Yuan is a small boss. It's a pity... I'm not Senior Brother Xiao Chuan.

I feel like I can't be led out.

"Would you like a glass of water, little one?"

Shen Ziwen inquired.

The pediatric ward provides excellent care.

After all, we're dealing with children.

Normally, this place not only provides water, but also toys, candy, and the like.

Animated films are practically a given.

Therefore, pediatrics and obstetrics are two rather special departments in a hospital.

The child shook his head.

"Yes, doctor, she has a fever now. Our baby has a tumor in her body, and we brought her last test report with us!"

At this moment, Gu Chao spoke to Ke Yingtong.

"Tumor??"

Shen Ziwen was stunned for a moment.

"Did you bring any reports? Those?"

Ke Yingtong, however, sensed that something was amiss.

Normally, when family members go to a hospital for examination, they will bring some reports, but it is extremely rare to see such a large number of reports as this.

They appear to be issued by different hospitals.

"Yes, these are all our examination reports from other hospitals. Director Ke, please take a look. We heard that you have successful experience in operating on children of the same age, so we hope to try it here at the Provincial People's Hospital."

Ke Yingtong was previously the deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University.

Later, he was recruited here to become the director.

She had the surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Peking University.

But now that she's at the Provincial People's Hospital, she'll definitely be looking for someone there.

"Oh... little girl, don't worry. Our Director Ke is an expert in pediatric tumor surgery, with experience in nearly ten thousand tumor surgeries. His specialty is radical pediatric tumor surgery. You'll definitely be fine. By the way, did you come from a local hospital?"

Shen Ziwen said.

The reason my mother arranged for him to work with Director Ke was...

I hope that one day I can become a leading expert in tumor surgery, just like Director Ke.

Studying medicine is one way to do it.

Anyone who can become a top expert in a particular field can become a big shot.

For example, he is skilled in radical tumor resection and has been specializing in radical resection of various pediatric tumors. Over time, he has become an absolute expert in this field.

Emergency Department.

Some people are skilled at tracheotomy, while others are skilled at appendectomy.

Some people are also skilled in finger reconstruction and finger replantation.

One category is enough.

There's no need to be like Senior Brother Xiaochuan, whose mother's CPR is top-notch, his precordial thump technique is top-notch, he also knows the Tang suture method, as well as tracheotomy, his grandfather's painless bone setting technique, his grandmother's painless inversion technique, complex cesarean section... huh.

Thinking and thinking.

Shen Ziwen felt that something was not right.

Have I been abandoned?!

Why did Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma all pass on their best skills to Xiao Chuan?

What about yourself?
He wants it too!
But after thinking about it... he didn't want it anymore.

It's too hard to learn!!

Now, just the pediatrics department has already exhausted him.

If he were to try and work on other fields, he would work himself to death!

Life is short.

Happiness is the most important thing.

Let Senior Brother Xiaochuan bear the hardships of passing on the torch!
Just be a silly, goofy banana wolf.

Shen Ziwen's WeChat name is Banana Wolf.

My mom rolled her eyes at me for this.

"No, we came from Guizhou Province."

Gu Chao said.

"Guizhou Province!!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ziwen was instantly stunned.

Guizhou Province is on the southern border, while their side is on the northern border.

This... they traveled such a long distance just to see Director Ke?

Is Director Ke really that famous?

"I wipe?"

When Shen Ziwen received the medical report, his mind went blank again.

Xiaoxiang Hospital.

West China Hospital.

Zhongshan Hospital.

Huashan Hospital.

Capital Children's Hospital.

……

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

“We’ve been to several top hospitals recently, but all the specialists have refused to treat our child. Dr. Ke, we’ve heard that you performed surgery on a neuroblastoma in the chest area, and the child hasn’t had a recurrence since. So we’re begging you to help my daughter! She’s only five years old!”

As Gu Qianxun's mother, Jiang Mei, spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears.

If her daughter hadn't been there, she would have burst into tears.

My heart aches so much I feel like I can't breathe.

“Mom, don’t cry… After Xunxun dies, she can become a star in the sky and watch over you and your mom and dad.”

Little Xun Xun saw her mother crying and immediately comforted her.

The little girl had no idea what death meant.

She only knew that her mother told her that if she died, she could become a star in the sky and see her parents.

So Xiao Xunxun just felt very uncomfortable, but she wasn't that scared.

"Yes! Xunxun can see her mom and dad from heaven!"

I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Truly, tears flow like water released from a dam.

No matter how much force you use, you can't close it.

"This……"

Shen Ziwen felt a mix of emotions.

He originally thought it was a small tumor from a lower-level prefecture-level hospital, and given Boss Ke's expertise, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Just take some time to get a test done, and then you can have the surgery.

To everyone's surprise, this little girl had already been to all the top hospitals in the country, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Capital Children's Hospital.

Although Boss Ke is very capable, and his pediatric tumor surgery skills are the best in Northeast China and at the national top level, there is still a certain gap between him and the big shots mentioned above.

If even those big shots can't solve it.

As for Mr. Ke, things are probably a bit uncertain as well.

wrong!

It's very risky.

After all, it's neuroblastoma, a disease that can be called the king of childhood tumors.

That's incredible.

I shouldn't have said those things.

This has truly put Boss Ke in an unjust position.

"I did have a neuroblastoma surgery performed inside my chest cavity, and it was successful. There has been no recurrence so far, and the prognosis is quite good. Let me take a look at this test report first."

Since they've already come to us, Ke Yingtong should take a look at this case that has been refused treatment by so many doctors.

"Okay, Director Ke, could you please take a look?"

When Gu Chao and Jiang Mei heard Ke Yingtong say to take a look first, they were instantly excited.

"This……"

The moment Shen Ziwen saw the film.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Really.

He never imagined that such a large tumor would be hidden inside Xunxun's small body!

It almost completely occupies the chest cavity.

One of the lungs was completely flattened, and the normal trachea was reduced to a thin line.

Furthermore, based on the initial examination results at the Guizhou Provincial Hospital and the final examination results at the Capital Children's Hospital, the tumor has grown significantly. If the tumor continues to grow like this, the child may soon suffocate and die because the trachea is compressed and the child cannot breathe.

The principle is roughly the same: when there is epiglottitis, a swelling forms, which blocks the airway, eventually causing the child to suffocate and die.

And this girl looks to weigh only about 30 pounds.

Skinny and small.

But this tumor inside his body is estimated to take up about a third of his body weight.

"Alright, parents, you can rest here or with your children in the hallway for a bit. I'll gather the team to take a closer look at the test report!"

Ke Yingtong did have a neuroblastoma removal surgery in her chest cavity before, but she was young at the time, in her forties, when her skills were at their peak.

Of course, this doesn't mean that people in their fifties are no longer technically skilled.

The technology remains at its peak, of course.

But the tumor is too large.

The one I removed was only half the size of this one.

In addition, the child is relatively healthy and weighs more than 40 kilograms for the same age.

Don't underestimate this 10-pound weight difference.

The same level of blood loss.

A child weighing 40 pounds can withstand it, but a child weighing 30 pounds might already be dead.

Generally speaking, tumor removal at this level will inevitably result in massive bleeding.

It's just that if the technique is excellent, there will be less bleeding.

But the amount of bleeding that a person weighing 30 pounds can withstand... is probably simply not enough to support the removal of this tumor.

The same applies even if blood is being transfused while bleeding occurs.

"Okay, okay, then we'll wait outside for your news, Director Ke."

Jiang Mei nodded and stood up.

No one noticed the hint of disappointment in her eyes.

why?

Because I had been to many hospitals before, the doctors all said there was nothing wrong at first.

When they saw the test report, they all said they would study it first.

The final research result was that, unfortunately, our capabilities were simply limited, and we were unable to perform this level of surgery.

"Come on, little Xunxun, let's go outside and wait for the doctor to examine you. Then we'll remove this bad thing from your body!"

But Jiang Mei still bravely comforted her child.

"Yes, yes, Daddy will take Xunxun for a walk. Let's go for a walk outside in the corridor~"

Gu Chao still let his daughter lean on his shoulder.

You asked him if he was very tired.

Carrying a child weighing over 30 pounds all day is, of course, very tiring.

But he was even more afraid that he wouldn't be able to hug her anymore.

So even when he was very tired, he would still hold her and let his daughter lean on his shoulder, her little chin resting against the hollow of his shoulder.

He actually knew it too.

There might be no hope here either.

But he really didn't want to give up without coming here for a walk.

After all, Dr. Ke had previously performed surgery on a five-year-old child for a neuroblastoma in the chest cavity.

She looks exactly like their daughter.

Perhaps this Dr. Ke really can.

Unexpectedly, just like the previous doctors, after seeing the daughter's report, he closed the door and studied it on his own.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with the research.

What I fear most is that apology.

We may not be able to perform this kind of surgery here.

In a special report room.

"My God, this tumor is getting bigger every day. I estimate that in just a few days, this child may be entering the terminal stage."

Shen Ziwen arranged all the reports according to date.

An entire wall.

At the same time, it was also clear that the neuroblastoma in the child's chest cavity was getting bigger and bigger.

It might really only be a few days.

The initial report from the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital was not without merit.

They had thought from the beginning that the child might not survive.

He eventually died from a high fever.

Who could have imagined that the child would survive the high fever and live on despite the difficult circumstances?

She wanted to survive.

However, if this tumor were to be removed, the difficulty would be world-class, which explains why so many doctors have refused to treat it.

"Yes, if this child doesn't have surgery soon, he really doesn't have much time left to live! This tumor is really too big! So big that even the slightest movement could make him unable to get off the operating table!"

Ke Yingtong nodded.

This is absolutely the largest neuroblastoma in the thoracic cavity that she has encountered in all her years of practice.

"Teacher Ke, so are we going to refuse to treat this patient here too? Is there really no other way?"

This must be the last hope for the parents and children.

They traveled all the way from Guizhou Province to seek medical treatment here.

If they refuse to treat me again.

Such a well-behaved little girl may really not have many days left to live.

So Shen Ziwen wanted to ask a question.

Even a seasoned expert like Mr. Ke, with his extensive experience, might not have any way to save the little girl's life.

Really.

I just heard the little girl comfort her mother by saying that she would become a star in the sky to watch over her parents.

His heart felt like it had been splashed with sulfuric acid; he felt suffocated by the pain.
