Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan was a little puzzled as to why Xia Wantang would contact him so early, but he still answered the phone, "What's wrong, Sister Tang?"

Do you have time now?

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I guess so."

He didn't say anything definitive, after all, taking care of Jiang Yingxue wasn't a big deal.

Judging from Xia Wantang's tone, she must have something important to discuss with him.

He decided to open the door first, listen to what Xia Wantang wanted to talk to him about, and then decide whether he had time.

If you simply say that everything is settled and you want to celebrate, he will refuse outright.

"Could you come to Peking University Health Science Center?"

"Peking University Medical School Affiliated Hospital?"

Chu Nan frowned slightly; he was a resident physician at Peking University Affiliated Hospital.

As expected, he was supposed to be working at Peking University Medical College Hospital.

But because he beat up his mentor, he lost this opportunity.

The mentor who was assaulted was the chief physician there.

He really didn't want to go unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Yes, Peking University Hospital, come here right away."

Xia Wantang's tone was filled with anxiety, "I'm waiting for you in the neurosurgery ward on the eleventh floor of Building 3!"

"What happened—"

Before Chu Nan could finish his question, Xia Wantang hung up the phone.

He had never seen Xia Wantang so panicked before. Could something terrible have happened?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Chu Nan couldn't care less about anything else.

After quickly washing my face, I changed into casual clothes and took a ride-hailing service to Peking University Hospital.

Looking at the familiar scene, Chu Nan felt a pang of emotion.

Fortunately, that damned mentor was from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and had nothing to do with neurosurgery.

"here!"

As soon as Chu Nan stepped out of the elevator, he saw Xia Wantang waving at him.

Seeing Xia Wantang lively and energetic, Chu Nan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Cousin, what happened?"

"My uncle's child is sick, and I'd like you to see if there's anything you can do."

As Xia Wantang spoke, she took Chu Nan's hand and led him inside.

The whole process was so natural that Chu Nan didn't even have time to react.

"Sister Tang, I'm just a graduate of Peking University Medical School. Compared to the experts here, I'm nothing. It's no use you coming to me."

Xia Wantang understood Chu Nan's words, but this was the only solution she could think of at the moment.

"I remember you had excellent grades when you were at Peking University Health Science Center, right? If you revealed your background, maybe these experts would pay more attention to you?"

"I'm from the Traditional Chinese Medicine branch, which has absolutely nothing to do with neurology."

Chu Nan paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, your rush isn't just because the other person is your uncle's child, is it?"

Xia Wantang didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation to Chu Nan.

After listening, Chu Nan also became serious.

Since this matter concerns whether the new product can be mass-produced and launched, he can't hide his abilities.

"What's the situation with this child of your uncle's?"

"Her name is Xu Ran. She was diagnosed with a rare congenital brain developmental abnormality at birth, called something like 'wrist syndrome'."

Chu Nan tentatively asked, "Sterg Weber Syndrome?"

"It should be, I don't remember the exact name, but in short, this disease caused vascular malformations on the surface of her brain, which affected her normal development."

As Xia Wantang quickened her pace, she said, "So, even if they are adults, their intelligence is still at the level of a six-year-old child."

"What's the current situation?"

"I'm not sure either. The doctors used too many technical terms. All I know is that she has had a persistent high fever for three days."

"Did she suffer a head injury before she became critically ill?"

Xia Wantang, who was walking briskly, suddenly froze. "How did you know?!"

Chu Nan didn't speak, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

Xia Wantang didn't understand the seriousness of the illness, but he was very clear about it.

Those abnormal blood vessels are like time bombs buried deep in the brain.

Xu Ran survived to adulthood due to her wealthy family background, but because of the long-term abnormal blood supply to her brain tissue, a fragile layer of glial proliferation may have formed around the malformed blood vessels.

This illness was most likely caused by a head injury, which led to a rupture and bleeding inside the growth band, and then a bacterial infection, resulting in a persistent high fever.

While they were thinking, the two had already entered the ward.

The atmosphere in the ward was oppressive. Xu Yi looked solemn and even somewhat flustered.

The expert group was discussing quietly. Chu Nan listened for a moment, and the situation was almost exactly as he had predicted.

However, unlike others, Xu Ran's situation was far more complicated than imagined.

The bacterial infection had become so severe that it had formed a huge abscess, which was located right next to the vital centers of the brainstem.

After deliberation, the expert group ultimately sent a representative.

The expert walked up to Xu Yi, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. Xu, after our consultation, we unanimously agreed that completely removing the abscess without damaging the brainstem is too risky."

"Such neurosurgical techniques are rare even internationally. The slightest deviation could cause your daughter to die on the operating table or become a vegetable."

Xu Yi asked anxiously, "Isn't there any conservative treatment option?"

"We've been using the most potent antibiotics for three days, but they haven't been able to control the spread of the infection at all."

The expert looked troubled. "The glialized layer around the abscess forms a natural blood-brain barrier, which makes it impossible for drugs to penetrate."

"Your daughter has a persistent high fever of 40 degrees Celsius, her consciousness is intermittent, and her vital signs are being gradually depleted."

Xu Yi waved his hand to interrupt the experts, angrily saying, "I don't know any of these technical terms you're using. I just want to know if there's a solution!"

"this……"

The expert glanced at an elderly man in the group and finally said, "Old Hou has an extremely conservative plan: to directly inject a predetermined amount of artificial cerebrospinal fluid into the subarachnoid space via lumbar puncture."

"And a special thrombolytic enzyme is added to it to flush out the abscess from the inside."

Seeing the expert's hesitant expression, Xu Yi knew there was more to come. "What about the risks?"

"The risk of this approach is that if the abscess wall ruptures during the process, a large amount of pus will instantly contaminate the entire subarachnoid space, causing uncontrollable intracranial infection."

The expert swallowed hard. "If this happens, your daughter is very likely to die within hours."

In fact, this plan has been shelved, since no one dares to take such a risk.

If Xu Ran dies during the surgery, given Xu Yi's status in Beihai, every single one of these experts will lose their jobs!

To say it now is just a gamble; Xu Yi, this loving father, wouldn't dare risk his daughter's life.

Sure enough, after listening to this, Xu Yi seemed to age ten years in an instant.

Faced with such a dead end, he was completely unable to make a decision.

After listening to the expert's report, Xia Wantang completely gave up on the idea of ​​having Chu Nan treat her.

Although she didn't understand medical theory and professional terminology, the situation was already very clear to her.

Either watch Xu Ran die, or... gamble with your life!

But just then, Chu Nan, who had been silent beside her, suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I have a way that might save your daughter."
