When the Doctor Uses A Hack

When walking outside, Yu Yonggang and Old Ma were both very happy.

Beside them, an on-duty emergency doctor was also elated.

Today, he assisted Professor Chen in completing an incredible surgery, which was a rare and valuable experience for a young doctor like him.

He was so excited that he felt he wouldn't need any sleep tonight.

In fact, this adrenaline rush might last for three days and nights—his girlfriend was in for a treat...

He had to post about this on social media later!

This is what being a doctor is all about!

The true essence of saving lives and helping the injured!

Rescuing patients in dire situations.

So exhilarating!

At this moment, Old Ma looked at Chen Cang joyfully and sighed with emotion:

"It's not easy! At least we got through the first step!"

"Cang Er, you've added more time to his life! Haha…"

Standing in front of the operating room door, just about to push it open, Chen Cang suddenly froze when he heard Ma Yuehui's words.

He suddenly thought about something else.

Added time…

Was it really him who added more time to that man's life?

"Sigh…" Chen Cang suddenly let out a deep sigh.

When they heard his sigh, everyone paused, staring at Chen Cang with curiosity.

The surgery was successful, so why the sigh?

In a daze, Chen Cang muttered, "That man… can he afford the cost of the surgery and the follow-up liver transplant? This is an enormous expense."

That single sentence made everyone around him stop in their tracks.

For those who have never experienced poverty, they simply cannot understand the importance of money.

There's a saying in rural areas: "A penny can bring down a hero."

Can this family really bear such a massive medical expense?

Chen Cang was someone who had emerged from a village. He hadn't enjoyed good days for long; his living conditions had slightly improved, but there hadn't been any fundamental changes.

Even though surgeries now cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, and occasionally there were millionaire clients getting cosmetic surgery that could cost tens of millions…

His life hadn't changed. He still ate at the cafeteria, surviving on takeout and fast food.

His clothes may have improved in quality, but… he rarely bought any luxury brands.

Of course, part of this had to do with not having the time to spend money.

It wasn't that Chen Cang was particularly sensitive about money.

It's just that, in this era, money is an unavoidable topic in everything.

Money—it's something you barely notice when you have it, but when you don't, it becomes an insurmountable chasm!

Nowadays.

Money is what gives people courage and allows them to face things head-on.

Hearing Chen Cang's words, everyone sighed quietly.

It really was a realistic concern.

After pausing for a minute at the doorway, Chen Cang took the lead in pushing the door open and stepping out.

Wang Dong's wife saw Chen Cang come out and immediately shot up from her seat, rushing towards him.

"Doctor! Dr. Chen, how is he? My husband…" The woman's expression showed her extreme anxiety, and her heart was full of unease. She was even willing to bet all the luck of the rest of her life on this moment of "judgment!"

For the patient, wasn't this indeed a judgment?

A court judgment at least allows for appeals.

But!

Life doesn't.

The woman's hands were clenched tightly, her thin frame and the bones of her hands were clearly visible, trembling slightly.

She was truly afraid!

Afraid to the point of despair.

Chen Cang's expression was stern as he spoke honestly: "Wang Dong's injuries are extremely severe; they are life-threatening."

"His entire liver sustained severe damage, with a subcapsular hematoma that caused part of the liver to necrotize and require removal. Additionally, a significant portion of the middle lobe of the liver was also resected."

"The surgery was successful—we've done our best. He's stable now, and if all goes well, he should wake up tomorrow."

Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, the woman's anxious heart finally settled.

She murmured repeatedly, "He's saved! He's saved!"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

Her tense body slackened, and she sat down on the floor, her face lighting up with a relieved smile.

But…

The woman seemed to detect something unusual in his words.

She quickly stood up, her eyes fixed on Chen Cang: "Doctor… can he recover?"

Looking at this woman, Chen Cang thought of the man on the operating table whose blood pressure was at critical levels, whose body was gravely damaged, yet who couldn't even allow himself to fall asleep, crying out that he must not die, that he dared not die.

He hesitated.

"He… will need a liver transplant!"

"It would be best to find a suitable liver donor within a month and replace his current liver as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once he leaves the hospital, the remaining liver could fail, leading to organ failure… and death."

After hearing this, the woman's face changed. She hurriedly said, "Save him! We must save him! Doctor, whatever surgery it takes, we'll do it. Save my husband!"

"Money isn't an issue. We have a house—believe me, we'll sell the house if we have to for the surgery!"

"Please help us find out where we can locate a suitable liver donor. What do we need to do?"

Their young daughter also began crying, "Uncle Doctor, I'll give you all my New Year's money… Please save my dad. I'll stop buying snacks. I won't buy any more dolls. I just want my dad…"

Looking at this family, Chen Cang was genuinely moved.

He nodded, "We'll do our best to find a suitable donor for you!"

The woman immediately got up and, crying with joy, said, "Yes, yes, thank you, doctor! Thank you so much!"

As Chen Cang and his team departed, they were all deeply moved.

The young doctor said, "What a loving family!"

Old Ma sighed, "With a wife and child like that… now I understand that man's feelings. If it were me… I would work myself to death to give them happiness."

"But… if something happened to me, I wouldn't dare to die either. Damn it, what a great wife and kid."

"If I died, and she remarried, it'd break my heart. If she didn't… well, she'd suffer. Sigh…"

His words resonated with many.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The woman, still holding her child, was about to leave and begin packing up her belongings.

It seemed selling the house might truly be necessary…

The house in the capital wasn't easy to come by. The couple and their parents had scraped together 1.5 million yuan to make the down payment. Now the house must've appreciated in value.

After calling their real estate agent friend,

He told her their house, originally worth 5 million yuan, could now sell for 8 million.

The woman let out a bitter smile. She'd treat it as if they earned a bit from their investment…

There was no other way.

Though much of the money would have to go toward repaying the mortgage, the savings should suffice for the medical expenses, right?

Once her husband was better, they could move back to their hometown with the child.

Life would still go on.

As she was packing her things, her phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up, it was Wang Dong's old coworker and best friend.

He had been the one to help ask for Wang Dong's leave of absence today.

"Don't rush to sell the house, sister-in-law!"

"Wang Dong's treatment will require a lot of money. He'll need a liver transplant."
