Right, ask Lina to bring over the ECG machine, get ready to do an electrocardiogram.”

Qin Yue stood up and walked toward the outside.

Chen Cang closed the door, turned around, and stared at the man, “Were you trying to kill yourself?”

The man was startled, then chuckled, “Yeah, what’s the point of living? “My wife sold everything we had to pay for my medical treatment, 1 might as well be dead than alive.”

Chen Cang: “Do you have kids?”

The mention of kids made the man sigh, “1 have three kids. The eldest is a girl in third grade, the second is also a girl, six years old and not in school yet, and the youngest is a four-year-old boy. They are good kids, but their father is worthless. To pay for my medical expenses, they’ve never worn new clothes since they were little. If I continue to spend money on treatment, the kids won’t just be kept from school, they’ll starve to death.

“So 1 found a piece of wire at home and walked a long distance before stabbing

it into my heart.”

Chen Cang glanced at the man, “That’s not where the heart is…”

The man sighed, “Everything they show on TV is a lie.”

Chen Cang:…

Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say, whether he should lament the misleading nature of television dramas or be relieved that the misinformation had proven fortunate.

It felt like someone who had tried to commit suicide with fake pesticide and failed.

The man continued, “I took a train from Lvliang to the capital to see Tiananmen Square. It’s nice, the capital is so beautiful and magnificent. Then I took a train to… Eventually, I arrived at Anyang.”

“I realized… it’s good to be alive… I don’t want to die anymore, can you save me?”

“Also, can you help me pull this wire out? 1 can’t stand the discomfort; my chest has felt terribly constricted these past few days.”

“I have no money… but I also don’t want to die now, doctor, can you please save me?”

[Ding! A mission has been triggered: Zhu Yongwang’s Wish. Fulfill Zhu Yongwang’s wish to gain +5 skill points, +1 special lucky bag, and +1 clinical level.]

Chen Cang took a deep breath, the task rewards were quite substantial.

Chen Cang: “How were you able to get on a train?”

“1 said I was going to get medical treatment, the conductor was afraid I’d die on the train, so they arranged a sleeper berth for me. I told them I had no money, and they bought the ticket for me for free.”

By this time, Qin Yue had returned with Chang Lina and several others. Chang Lina: “Doctor Chen, the temperature is 38.8 degrees Celsius, blood pressure is i3O/7ommHg.”

Chen Cang nodded, this was probably a fever caused by an infection from the wound.

“Get an ECG done, I want to see the heart’s condition.”

Chang Lina nodded and looked at the man cautiously, “Lie down on the bed, I ll do an ECG for you.”

The man said embarrassedly, “I’m dirty, 1’11 soil the bed.”

Lina softened, “No worries at all, we’re sending the sheets for washing tomorrow anyway. It’s all good.”

After the man lay down, the wire jiggled mischievously, startling Chang Lina. But during the ECG, Chang Lina had some trouble, “Doctor Chen, where should I place the V2 lead?”

The wire was exactly where the V2 electrode should be.

Chen Cang: “Just place it beside, it won’t affect.”

The ECG results came out quickly.

Normal sinus rhythm, rightward axis deviation, no major problems.

Chen Cang stood up, took off his own short-sleeve shirt, and handed it to the man, “Put on a shirt, come on, I’ll take you to get an X-ray to see what’s going on with the wire.”

The man shook his head, “I have no money.”

Chen Cang: “I’ll pay for you.”

The statement stunned those around.

Had Chen Cang lost his mind?

The man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly stood up: “Okay.” The night shift in the radiology department saw that someone had come from the emergency room and hurried out, seeing Chen Cang leading a patient over.

“Dr. Chen?” Pang Xin and Chen Cang had joined the hospital in the same year and had undergone orientation training together. They got along quite well.

Chen Cang said, “We’ve got a special patient, no money for treatment, attempted suicide but didn’t want to die afterward, and now there’s a steel wire sticking out of his chest. Help me see what’s going on.”

Pang Xin nodded: “Should I develop the X-ray?”

Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: “Go ahead, I’ll handle the payment.

Pang Xin was stunned: “You’re paying?”

Chen Cang nodded: “He has no money…”

Pang Xin couldn’t help but glance at Chen Cang: “Are you out of your mind?

There are so many patients, can you even manage?”

Chen Cang sighed: “A pitiful person, let’s just help out where we can.”

Unable to convince Chen Cang, Pang Xin couldn’t help but suggest, “How about letting him have the X-ray first, and then you take a photo with your phone instead of developing the film? That way you won’t have to spend any money.” Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: “That works too! Thanks, Old Pang.

Pang Xin shook his head: “Go in, I’ll take a look at what s going on!

A few minutes later, the imaging results came out.

Pang Xin pointed to the picture on the computer and said, “The situation… it’s a bit complicated and rather unique!”

“Look, this is the pulmonary artery. The steel wire has just passed through it. Because it went through quickly and the wire is quite thin, it might not have caused too much change in a short time… But this is really abnormal, and there’s definitely a notable pneumothorax in the lungs, which isn’t recent.

“And… Wait, does the patient also have lung cancer?!”

Pang Xin couldn’t help but widen his eyes!

Chen Cang nodded: “Yes, that’s right, the patient’s situation is special, lung cancer with bone metastasis. He’s got less than half a year, tried to commit suicide but couldn’t find where the heart was, and he missed, piercing the pulmonary artery instead. Then he… took a train trip to the capital city, changed his mind about dying, and now he’s ended up in the emergency room, refusing to leave, insisting I treat him, and claiming he has no money.” “His medical bills have drained his family’s finances. He has a wife and three kids at home… It’s pitiful, so I thought 1 might as well help if I can.”

Pang Xin frowned at the images: “There’s no help for it, look at the lungs… There are too many cancerous sites. 1 suspect it’s not just bone metastasis… His life expectancy really isn’t long, how are you going to treat him?”

Chen Cang sighed: “Tomorrow when the cardiothoracic surgery department is in, I’ll talk to Director Tao about removing the steel wire first, and then we’ll take it from there.”

“I’m leaving, thanks Old Pang!”

Pang Xin watched Chen Cang leave, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: “Can you really help everyone? There are so many people, just too many pitiful ones!”

Chen Cang didn’t look back: “Helping one is better than none!”

Zhu Yongwang saw Chen Cang come out: “How did it go?”

Chen Cang: “What do you mean ‘how did it go’?”

Zhu Yongwang: “Is there hope for me?”

Chen Cang responded indifferently: “As for the steel wire in your chest, I’ll ask cardiothoracic surgery tomorrow, but your lung cancer… it’s difficult to treat.

Zhu Yongwang was taken aback: “But this is a major hospital, surely you can treat it. 1 don’t want to die. 1 still want to…”

Chen Cang sighed: “Take it easy, one step at a time.”

Zhu Yongwang nodded: “Actually, I brought my ID. 1 lied to you, but I really have no money..”
