BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179: 180:1 Have No Money (Vote for Monthly Pass)
But it definitely wasn’t anything good!
Still, thinking of the paper on “Liver Transplantation,” Chen Cang decided to get up and check it out.
It was a bit chilly at night in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and when he arrived at the hospital, Chen Cang saw Qin Yue already waiting for him at the entrance.
“Chen Cang, come here quickly!” Qin Yue whispered urgently.
Chen Cang curiously jogged over, “What’s going on?”
Qin Yue pointed to the room, “We’ve got a nutcase.”
Chen Cang was taken aback, bewildered for a few seconds, then said earnestly, “A nutcase arrives, and they call me in the middle of the night—what’s the direct connection here?”
“Shouldn’t you be calling psychiatry for a consult?”
Qin Yue pouted, “Psychiatry came down for a consult, but they said the patient doesn’t seem to have a psychiatric disorder, they won’t admit him.”
Chen Cang frowned, “Let’s go, I’m here anyway, let’s go in and see what’s the matter.”
Qin Yue nodded, “Be careful, I have a feeling the patient is kind of off.”
Chen Cang turned around, feeling Qin Yue’s fear, involuntarily secreting an extra milliliter of adrenaline, seemingly gaining bravery +1? Courage +1? Manliness +1?
Upon entering the emergency hall, Chen Cang saw a man with a limp wandering around, touching here and there with a careful gait, dressed in an old-fashioned red vest and black cloth shoes that were torn in several places, looking like a vagrant.
The man seemed to be fascinated by everything, touching things gingerly, and when he saw that his shoes dirtied the floor, he quickly took them off and bent down to clean it with his clothing.
Chen Cang glanced at Qin Yue.
Could it really be a mental illness?
The nurses at the nursing station had long since disappeared, and at that moment, the man heard someone behind him.
He turned around abruptly!
Chen Cang was taken aback!
Holy crap?
He saw that the man had a long piece of iron wire pierced through his chest!
This truly startled Chen Cang, no wonder Qin Yue called him.
But then again…
Qin Yue called him—whom could he call in turn…
The man wasn’t old, Chen Cang estimated he was only in his thirties, bald.
Chen Cang cautiously asked, “Hello, are you here to see the doctor?”
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, the man appeared indifferent but kept his eyes fixed on Qin Yue, staring intensely and unsettling her.
At this moment, the man suddenly smiled, “Doctor, you’re very good-looking…”
Qin Yue, instead of being flattered, felt even more anxious and awkwardly chuckled, “You’re good-looking too, you’re good-looking too…”
Hearing Qin Yue’s response, the man bashfully lowered his head, “I used to be quite handsome when I was young…”
Only then did Chen Cang notice that Qin Yue was wearing a white coat, which was why the patient paid no attention to him.
He quickly got up, returned to the office, grabbed the white coat hanging on the chair, put it on, and walked out.
Suddenly, the man turned around, and the piece of steel wire nearly swiped across Chen Cang’s face, forcing him to step back immediately!
Chen Cang, “I’m a doctor, is there anything I can help you with?”
The man nodded, “I… I came to get this looked at!”
After saying that, he added, “But I have no money.”
Seeing that the man’s consciousness was still fairly clear, Chen Cang nodded, “Do you have an ID? Let’s get you registered. It’s for free.”
The man shook his head, “No, I don’t have an ID card.”
Chen Cang was taken aback, “No money is not a problem, just give me your ID card first, all these require an ID card, we can help you with the deferred payment first.”
Upon hearing that he could defer payment, the man said, “Even if you arrange for a deferred payment, I still can’t pay it back, I don’t have any money.”
At that moment, nurse Chang Lina and a young intern nurse just came out, walked up to Chen Cang, and whispered, “Doctor Chen, he has been saying he has no money since earlier.”
Chen Cang comforted, “It’s okay, follow me to the treatment room, 1’11 help you see if there’s anything wrong.”
The man just stood there, “But I don’t have any money.”
Chen Cang smiled, “I’ll just take a look, it’s free, let’s see what we can do. How dangerous is this for you?”
After speaking, Chen Cang took the man by the arm and walked towards the treatment room.
Chang Lina and the few junior nurses followed curiously. Chen Cang glared at them, and they reluctantly left.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue followed Chen Cang into the treatment room and closed the door.
At this time, Qin Yue also noticed that the man didn’t seem to be mentally ill, “What’s your name?”
The man hesitated for a moment, “I’ve forgotten.”
Qin Yue:…
Chen Cang guessed that the man didn’t want to say. Since he came in, he kept emphasizing that he had no money. Whatever was asked of him, he wouldn’t say.
All he would say was, “1 have no money.”
Suddenly, an idea struck Chen Cang, and he clicked on the man.
[Zhu Yongwang, sunk in despair, may trigger a task by resolving his heart knot.]
Worried about one issue, Chen Cang looked at the steel wire through the left side of the chest. Had it not pierced the heart?
The location was very close to the pulmonary artery, could it have already penetrated?
Unable to restrain himself, Chen Cang asked, “How did this steel wire get in? What reactions did you have after it was stabbed in?”
The man’s smile was bitter, “I stabbed it in myself, leftover steel wire from fixing the house. It used to be this long, but after stabbing it in, I couldn’t walk, so 1 broke it off!”
As he spoke, the man used his hands to demonstrate the length of the wire, laughing hopelessly.
Upon hearing that, Qin Yue’s complexion changed abruptly, and she couldn’t help saying, “Are you crazy? Why would you do that? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
The man sighed deeply, “I wanted to die, but it didn’t work…”
That single sentence left Chen Cang and Qin Yue at a loss for words.
Chen Cang took the scissors, “I’ll cut open your clothes to check your wound.”
The man hesitated for a moment, “This is the only piece of clothing I have.”
Chen Cang, “I’ll lend you one, mine.”
Chen Cang grabbed the scissors and cut open the red short-sleeved shirt, only to find that the steel wire had already rotted into the skin causing severe pus formation around the area. Even Chen Cang couldn’t help but frown.
How painful that must be!
Qin Yue was even more shocked. The summer weather being already hot, such wounds easily fester and get infected, but no! The man was already infected!
Qin Yue felt her heart tremble. Despite being boisterous and having seen many strange clinical diseases, she couldn’t help but shiver.
With a trembling voice, Qin Yue asked, “Does it… does it not hurt?”
The man gave a wry smile, “It’s bearable, not as painful as having cancer.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue and Chen Cang exchanged a glance, “How do you know you have cancer?”
The man smiled painfully, “1 was diagnosed back in my hometown hospital. They told me I wouldn’t live past half a year, it has already metastasized to my bones, here on my leg.”
As he spoke, the man pointed to what Chen Cang had thought was a limp on his right leg..
