Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Special Circumstances (Request for Monthly Votes)

By a little after eight o’clock, Chen Cang had already piled up seven or eight patients, most of whom had injuries needing to be bandaged.

The emergency internal medicine department mostly saw patients with headaches and fevers looking to buy medicine, while the emergency surgery department mostly dealt with bandaging wounds.

Because they were all injuries, everyone was quite anxious and flustered, which often led to disputes over queueing on regular days, after all, everyone felt their injuries were more serious.

Today, however, things were better, and it seemed that those who came were not in a rush, patiently waiting their turn in the waiting area.

Around eight-thirty, two men with gray and dusty hair full of sand and dirt hurried in.

Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng were construction workers building the metro in Anyang City, not locals either. Today, due to a crane malfunction, the train tracks on the vehicle slid off. Yang Zhifu, seeing that the situation was bad, fiercely pulled Zhou Kuangsheng out of the way, and fortunately, neither suffered serious injury.

But still, their hands were cut by the metal sheets!

Luckily, the metro line wasn’t far from the Provincial Second Hospital, and seven or eight of their coworkers brought them over with goodwill.

So many people rushing into the emergency room at once aroused some curiosity.

These construction worker brothers were all unkempt, their camouflaged uniforms covered in dust, and their boots, caked with thick mud from the mucky construction sites.

When the group reached the door of the emergency room and saw how clean everything was inside, they hesitated for a moment!

After conferring with each other, Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng decided to take off their shoes and ran in barefoot!

Seeing this, the surrounding coworkers followed suit, removing their shoes and rushing in.

“Doctor…”

Xiao Lin, who was on night duty, saw two arms each wrapped in a layer of clothing but with blood still seeping out, one hand on the left, the other on the right!

Xiao Lin’s face changed color as he hurriedly maintained order.

He had his colleague receive the accompanying people and get them to process their paperwork while he guided the two men inside.

Chen Cang had just finished suturing a middle-aged woman who cut her finger while cooking, and behind her was a gaunt man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking very scholarly with eyebrows reminiscent of Lu Xun.

He looked at Chen Cang and said with a smile, “I accidentally stabbed my foot with a pen, and it’s inconvenient to walk.”

Chen Cang was about to speak when suddenly Xiao Lin rushed in, “Doctor Chen, two patients have arrived, bleeding quite a lot, seems like they re severely injured!”

After saying this, Xiao Lin glanced at the man ready to be seen and added, “It seems pretty serious!”

At that moment, the two were brought in.

Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng were holding their arms, their faces showing an awkward smile; both seemed out of place in the clean treatment room, apparently feeling a mix of shame and discomfort.

At this time, the man offered them his seat, “You guys sit down, let the doctor check on you. Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing serious.”

Before Chen Cang could respond, the man had already patted Yang Zhifu on the shoulder, seemingly unconcerned about the dirt on him.

Yang Zhifu gave an awkward smile, speaking in a thick northern dialect, he chuckled and said, “Thankyou, thankyou, big brother.”

Chen Cang pulled back the clothing covering Yang Zhifu’s wound, and it accidentally tugged on the injury, causing Yang Zhifu to wince with pain.

At that moment, Chen Cang couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The bones on the back of the hand were clearly visible, with two severely fractured tendons and obvious vascular damage.

Tendon suture surgery was needed immediately!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang said to the slim man, “Uncle, the condition of these two patients is quite critical. Their wrists need immediate attention. Would you mind waiting a little?”

The man had seen the injuries of the two, nodded quickly and said, “No problem, you stitch them up first. Compared to them, I’ve just got a scrape.” Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng had already felt a bit embarrassed about jumping the queue, and hearing the man say this, they repeatedly expressed their gratitude, “Thankyou! Thankyou, big brother.”

The accompanying workers seemed to feel that their arrival had inconvenienced others. They bowed to the patients waiting outside and apologized, “Sorry, our friend is badly injured. Thankyou all! We are causing you trouble…”

Seven or eight people bowed in turn, and the crowd also felt a bit embarrassed. Moreover, seeing the patients’ clothes wrapped around their wrists, soaked with fresh blood, was a chilling sight.

At such a time, no one wanted to make things difficult for the others.

Plus, seeing these people covered in dirt and grime, with disheveled appearances, everyone felt a surge of compassion; it’s not easy to come out and work, and to extend a helping hand was to do a good deed!

When Xiao Lin saw these seven or eight migrant workers bowing in turn, he felt a lump in his throat.

At that moment, a short, chubby man rushed in through the emergency west gate, “I’m here, I’m here! How are Yang and Old Zhou?”

The seven or eight workers saw the short, plump man, “Boss, over here.”

The chubby man, hearing the voice, hurried over as well, his face full of worry, “How are they? Are they alright?”

Seeing so many people, Chen Cang said, “Everyone, please wait outside. Oh, Xiao Lin, take them to handle the paperwork. Help me place an order for tendon suture surgery for each of them. By the way, are you going to set up an account for deferred payment or…?”

The short, stout foreman quickly said, “No deferred payment, I’ve brought money!”

He had come so late because he’d first gone to get the money!

“Doctor, please take good care of them. Thankyou, I’ll go pay now!

After Xiao Lin led the others out, Chen Cang started with Yang Zhifu s

treatment.

At that moment, the short, chubby man quietly entered the treatment room and, seeing Chen Cang preparing to suture Yang Zhifu, took out several hundred yuan, carefully offered it to Chen Cang, “Doctor! Please, take this as a trouble fee. Please help them; they can’t have any accidents while working with me. If anything happens, I won’t be able to face going home.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately shook his head, pushing the money back, and said earnestly, “Rest assured, I will treat them properly. Keep this money to care for their recovery. Also… they definitely won’t be able to work for at least half a month, you…”

After Chen Cang gave instructions, the short, stout man nodded repeatedly, realizing he couldn’t press the red envelope upon him, he reluctantly gave up.

What a scene this was!

The short, stout man sighed.

Both tendons on the back of the hand were major ones, frequently used in daily life. If they were not stitched up properly, it would certainly affect future functioning. Most importantly, the surrounding tissues were severely damaged, leading to significant trouble with adhesions later on. Chen Cang had to pay close attention!

The surgery began, Zhou Kuangsheng sat there silently. If it hadn’t been for Old Yang today, he might have lost his life!

At this thought, he felt a shiver run through him!

Fortunately, Chen Cang was a master at tendon suture surgery, highly skilled, with a relatively quick sewing pace, because there was another man with equally severe injuries waiting behind.
