Chapter 20: Get Whatever You Want
Zhang Keqin was the captain of the criminal police team, and at over forty years old, he was still in his prime.
Today, their criminal investigation team had once again taken down a robber, but another team member had been injured.
And it was his right wrist!
For a police officer, this was a critical injury.
After the incident, they immediately took him to the nearest hospital.
Upon seeing the injured patient’s condition, the head of surgery directly said, “Hurry to a major hospital, we can’t do it here, the tendon damage in his wrist is very serious, there are too many fragments, I can’t guarantee a successful suture. And even if the suture is successful, I can’t guarantee the recovery of function!”
Because of this, they rushed him to the provincial second hospital.
The injured officer was excellent. At the time, the criminal was in an agitated state, ready to shoot the hostage. It was because of his emergency breakout that the hostage was saved, and the criminal was captured.
25-year-old police officer Wu Gang had once again earned merit!
Only a few years out of the police academy, he had encountered such an event, injuring his wrist.
If he couldn’t hold a gun, what kind of police officer would he be?!
His life would be over.
Thinking this, Zhang Keqin was filled with regret, his eyes anxious as he stood outside the emergency room, one cigarette following another.
Thinking it over, he still felt uneasy.
He got up, pushed the door open, and went straight into the emergency room, where Chen Cang was checking the situation.
The nurse saw someone come in and hurriedly stood up to stop him, “Family members, please go out, the doctor is examining the injuries.”
Zhang Keqin saw that the person examining was Chen Cang and nobody else!
Suddenly, Zhang Keqin was stunned and asked in a low voice, “Hello, I am the captain of the criminal police team. Doctor, this is our hero. Where’s your director? Or the senior doctor? Why is there only one young person?”
The nurse was taken aback, “Our director is not in the hospital, and the other doctors have surgeries this afternoon and can’t come down right away. Dr. Chen is very capable.”
Zhang Keqin wanted to say something but held back!
His clenched fists had no place to rest!
Anxious!
Desperate!
He didn’t want a promising young talent to be delayed.
Suddenly, he remembered a phone number, that of the deputy director of the provincial people’s hospital.
He hurriedly rose and walked towards the outside, picking up the phone to make the call.
The other side answered quickly, “Captain Zhang, what do you need assistance with?”
Zhang Keqin hurriedly spoke, “Um, Director Wang, hello, I really need your help right now. One of our team members has been shot in the wrist with a hunting rifle. The head of surgery at the eighth hospital said the Tendon Suture Surgery is particularly difficult. Now we’ve brought him to the provincial second hospital.”
Wang Xixing replied, “Provincial second hospital? An Yanjun, the director of emergency at the provincial second hospital, is quite skilled in the field of hand surgery.”
Zhang Keqin became somewhat anxious, “The nurses say that Director An is in surgery and can’t come down. Do you have a suitable doctor over there? Please send someone quickly. We can’t afford to move him again.”
Wang Xixing nodded, “Alright, Captain Zhang, don’t panic, we’ll send someone over now!”
Upon hearing this, an excited Zhang Keqin said, “Send an expert! It has to be an expert. He’s still young, he has a bright future, and we can’t let this incident hold him back!”
Wang Xixing responded affirmatively, “I’ll go ask our Director Liu. He is an authority in the field of hand surgery. I’ll have him head over right now! Don’t panic.”
Hearing this, Zhang Keqin got excited.
“That would be really great, it’s truly a bother for you, Director Wang, really. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!”
He hung up the phone with a thousand thanks in his heart.
In that moment, hope rose in Zhang Keqin’s heart.
The director was personally coming to assist with the surgery, it had to be successful, right?
Inside, Zhang Keqin was full of anticipation!
Right!
He decided to communicate with the dean of this hospital. After all, it was a consultation from an external hospital, and he needed to give them a heads-up.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Keqin looked back at the emergency room and said to the two police officers at the door, “Keep a close watch on Little Wu, and report anything immediately!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Zhang Keqin immediately stood up and headed for the administrative building!
Meanwhile, inside the emergency room!
Chen Cang had already made a basic assessment of the patient’s injuries!
The damage to the wrist tendons was severe, and the damage to the blood vessels was moderate.
Chen Cang said to Wu Gang, “Try moving your hand.”
Wu Gang gritted his teeth and sweated from the pain, but still managed to say with a grimace, “I can’t move it, I feel like my hand is gone…”
Wu Gang’s words carried a bleak tone, but at that moment, he was not the least bit desperate, even managing to say it with a hint of jest.
Thinking about how he had saved that child and caught the criminal, Wu Gang felt it was all worth it!
Sweat continuously dripped down his buzz-cut head, and even the chilly emergency room could not reduce his perspiration.
It hurt so much!
Chen Cang checked the circulation. At this time, the blood flow in the hand was increasingly poor. The longer the delay, the worse the recovery, especially the nerve function!
There had been too much loss in the tendon now, and what needed to be done urgently was to reestablish blood flow with vascular anastomosis and then perform tendon suture!
But…
Chen Cang’s current level of tendon suture was only intermediate!
For such a complex tendon suture, without a senior level, it was impossible to proceed.
And most important of all was the outcome of the tendon suture.
Almost all repaired tendons formed adhesions and impairments in joint motion to varying degrees with the surrounding tissues, and this was closely related to local pathological conditions, surgical techniques, suture materials, and whether postoperative handling was correct.
The most crucial factor was the surgical process. During surgery, in order to achieve postoperative tendon adhesion-free and not affect joint movements, one must possess exceptional skills to complete the tendon suture task!
In the entire Dongyang Province, there would be no more than five such individuals!
This required a special skill.
What to do?
To perform the surgery or not?
At this moment, Wu Gang, looking at the hesitant Chen Cang, said, “Doctor, go ahead and do it. It’s fine, I’ve hit the jackpot. I saved one, and I caught a criminal. I had already thought it through before the action; if I succeeded, I would be a martyr, and if not, I’d still be a martyr!”
“Now, it seems I’m not a martyr yet, and I’m already ahead. Even if this hand is crippled, I can still do administrative work in the future, it’s still worth it!”
[Ding! Hero Wu Gang issues a mission: Mission requirement: Successfully treat Wu Gang, completion reward: Tendon Suture level increased by +1!]
Chen Cang’s eyes lit up!
Right!
I have a skill point!
Upgrading from intermediate to senior needed 2 skill points.
Level up!
[Ding! Congratulations, your Tendon Suture skill level has been upgraded to: Senior!]
[Ding! Tendon Suture Surgery: Senior, special attribute: Significant reduction in adhesion coefficient (advanced suturing techniques will allow you to pay attention to details during suturing, reducing adhesiveness… thereby making the function of the sutured tendon nearly normal after recovery!]
Chen Cang felt a surge of joy!
He had actually acquired the special attribute: reduction in adhesion coefficient?
How lucky could he be!
With this in mind, Chen Cang didn’t want to waste another moment!
“Prepare for surgery! Proceed with the suturing.”
