When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Cui Jisheng asked with a smile on his face.

Chen Cang looked at him and comforted him, "This disease is extremely rare! Worldwide, there have been fewer than 40 cases recorded so far!"

Cui Jisheng froze instantly!

His crazy wife, so ordinary in every way, struggling her whole life, now ends up with a rare disease?

Less than 40 cases in the world, and she took up one!

Cui Jisheng was truly frightened!

Although this crazy woman is loud and crass, the villagers are rough and lack sophistication, unlike the square dancing ladies in the city who know how to dress and have taste.

But… after all these years together, he feels uneasy if he hasn't eaten her hand-pulled noodles for three days.

Cui Jisheng muttered under his breath, but his heart was clouded with worry as he griped, "This crazy woman, what part of her is rare enough to deserve a rare disease!"

Cui Jisheng seemed to suddenly become heavy-hearted.

He sighed, "Then… Professor Chen, can it be treated?"

Chen Cang looked at the elderly man and couldn't help but say, "There's a very good chance of recovery!"

Hearing this, the old man finally let out a breath, "Professor Chen, I'm counting on you! Please save her! She's endured a hard life and finally our son has made something of himself. We managed to come to the capital to enjoy life, and now this!"

"Why would she end up like this!?"

Chen Cang explained, "The main reason is diabetes. The auntie has had diabetes for many years, and her blood sugar has never been well controlled.

High blood sugar can lead to alterations in vascular compliance, which is potentially one of the factors affecting vascular dysfunction.

Furthermore, the thinness of the iliac vein wall may be the primary cause of its spontaneous rupture.

Post-menopausal elderly women experience a decline in estrogen levels, leading to degenerative changes in vascular smooth muscle and collagen fibers, and this may result in decreased elasticity of the vein wall.

Additionally, 85% of patients with this condition are women over the age of 60!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Jisheng sighed, "Life in the village has always been careless. If it weren't for the national chronic disease screenings in recent years, we wouldn't even know how many people in the village have chronic illnesses!"

"This crazy woman, sigh… it's all my fault!"

At this moment, Huang Qiuying hurriedly fetched the informed consent forms and other documents.

"Brother, this is the informed consent… this is the critical illness notification… Let's sign these so we can prepare for surgery quickly!"

"For this disease, the earlier the treatment, the better!"

Huang Qiuying reassured him.

Cui Jisheng nodded, taking a pen from the pocket of his white shirt, and signed with flair!

He's always loved wearing white shirts and suit pants, which his wife kept washed and pristine for him.

He liked to keep a pen tucked in his pocket.

As he signed, his hand trembled.

He feared that the moment he put his name down, he might never see her again.

Even if he were to eat lavish meals alone in the future, they wouldn't taste right.

No matter how graceful the square dancing ladies in Beijing might be, they couldn't compare to a bowl of noodles cooked by his wife!

Looking back over his life, Cui Jisheng always had grievances with his wife.

But at this moment, he realized that the thing he couldn't bear to lose, after all these years, wasn't his child…

It was this crazy woman he'd grumbled about for half a lifetime.

For a moment, Cui Jisheng teared up.

Wiping his tears, he nodded at Chen Cang.

Then he walked out of the office.

Seeing the elderly man like this, Huang Qiuying also felt emotional.

"A lifetime companion is truly just that—someone to grow old with."

Chen Cang watched the lonely figure of the old man leaving, and he made up his mind!

He had to save her!

After all, she was one of his fans!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, after Huang Qiuying finished the paperwork, she let out a sigh of relief.

She hadn't expected it to go this smoothly.

It was all thanks to Chen Cang!

After leaving, the old man walked into his wife's hospital room and gently stroked her rough, wrinkled hands.

These hands hardly looked like a woman's hands!

Years of hard work, farming for a lifetime, raising pigs for decades, a life of toil…

Cui Jisheng chuckled, "Crazy woman, after your surgery, I'll take care of you."

The elderly woman, clutching her stomach and groaning weakly, opened her eyes, "Don't be ridiculous! You're just waiting for me to recover, so you can go dancing with those city ladies!"

Hearing his wife's comment, Cui Jisheng grinned widely.

"No dancing, no dancing!"

"I've only been learning to dance recently to prepare—once you're healthy, I'll teach you!"

"I won't learn!"

"I've worked so hard to learn; you have to let me teach you!"

"I… I'm clumsy, I won't be able to learn…"

"I'll teach you and dance with you every day. You have to lose some weight—you can't rely on medicine all the time!"

"You're calling me fat?"

"No, I'm worried about your health!"

"You still think I'm fat!"

...

Cui Jisheng realized his wife could be coquettish too.

Thinking about it, wasn't everyone a child deep down?

If life hadn't forced them to grow up, perhaps they'd all learn to be spoiled too?

The operating room was now preparing intensely.

This rare disease quickly caught the attention of the hospital.

Everyone was highly focused on this surgery!

Even the hospital coordinated with the family to waive some medical expenses if they fully cooperated with treatment and examinations.

This was a benefit Chen Cang had fought for.

He could tell the old man's white shirt was the cheapest kind, costing only about 20 yuan.

The hospital had research protocols for rare diseases.

So, Chen Cang felt that where help could be offered, he should try his best to provide it.

Wu Tongpu wouldn't stop Chen Cang from moving forward.

Most of the staff in the hospital wouldn't either.

Even though Chen Cang wasn't a department head, nor in a leadership position, nor even an official employee here…

People couldn't deny how brilliant he was!

Chen Cang had brought down a major official, a figure at the provincial-ministerial level.

As for the rest of them… forget it, it's best not to create trouble.

Sun Guangyu from Xiehe came.

Upon seeing Chen Cang, he blushed.

"Professor Chen! I brought Qin Yue to watch your surgery!"

When Chen Cang saw Qin Yue, he froze for a moment.

This Sun Guangyu… has he really used his wife as his invitation ticket?

However, seeing Qin Yue's playful look, Chen Cang certainly couldn't refuse.

So be it!

So be it!

Soon after, someone from Anzhen Hospital arrived, as well as the vascular surgery director from 301 Hospital.

After all, this was a rare surgery.

Everyone was eager to watch.

Inside the operating room!

Everything was ready.

Chen Cang put on his surgical gown and approached the operating table with his assistant.

The surgery was about to begin!

Everyone stared at Chen Cang, waiting for him to give the command.

At this moment, Chen Cang stood there like a battlefield general!

Seeing him like this made Qin Yue's heart stir.

She felt an indescribable admiration!

This was her husband!

At this moment, the elderly woman suddenly looked at Chen Cang and said, "Professor Chen!"

Chen Cang nodded, "Auntie, please go ahead!"

The elderly woman's cloudy eyes filled with tears, "If I die, please tell that old man at home to turn the stones in the pickling jar back home so the vegetables don't spoil. He loves that stuff."

"Also… tell him this is the last jar. He won't get any more after this—he should savor it!"

Her words made Chen Cang turn his head away, unable to hide his emotions!

The elderly woman truly had a heart as clear as a mirror—nothing could be kept from her!
