Chapter 1311: Chapter 1314: Don’t Speak, Kiss !
Chen Cang also sensed that Zhou Hongguang seed to have sothing to say.
But…
Now wasn’t the ti to discuss academician matters.
Thinking this, Chen Cang spoke directly: “Director Zhou, I need to trouble you with sothing.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongguang imdiately beca serious: “Go ahead!”
“Our hospital has a patient who needs a liver transplant, but there’s an issue… the liver source has already exceeded 15 hours, and the surgery will bring the cold ischemia ti close to 16 hours. I’m not confident, and I need your help. Do you have ti?”
Chen Cang then explained Wang Dong’s situation.
“Ti, location, send it to on WeChat, I’ll drive over!” Zhou Hongguang, upon hearing this, couldn’t help his heart skipping a beat.
He was sowhat uneasy as well.
But upon Chen Cang’s plea, he agreed without hesitation.
Chen Cang was imdiately touched upon hearing this.
He was genuinely moved.
Zhou Hongguang was currently at a critical juncture in his bid for academician status. To stay safe, he should avoid any mishaps!
Especially those high-risk, potentially controversial surgeries that could lead to complications.
Otherwise, it would be easy to encounter all kinds of trouble.
Yet, after Chen Cang explained the situation, Zhou promptly agreed to co over. This courage was rare indeed.
After finishing the call, Chen Cang hurriedly headed to the general surgery ICU.
He Zhiqian was waiting at the elevator: “The liver is already on its way; it’s expected to arrive in 30 minutes.”
Chen Cang responded with a nod, striding forward, and said, “I’m going to check on the patient. Please prepare the critical condition notice and inford consent forms. Thank you!”
Wang Dong’s attending physician was a forty-year-old senior associate director-level doctor with solid skills and a ticulous work style.
Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, he imdiately rose and went to get the forms personally.
At this point, Chen Cang entered the ICU.
Wang Dong’s wife was sitting by his side, clutching his right hand tightly, as if afraid he might disappear the next mont.
The narrowly surviving Wang Dong also stared wide-eyed at the beauty of life, reluctant to let go.
He really didn’t want to die!
He admitted that in the face of life, he was a coward.
Insignificant, even humble like an ant, he only prayed for a chance from heaven to let him live as an ordinary person, with a healthy body.
He longed to use this body to bring warmth to his family!
Having lost once, he would cherish even more.
Wang Dong understood!
But losing once, and now facing permanent loss again… such attachnt was painful!
This ordeal exhausts one’s will, humbling a person to dust.
His wife sat on a bench; Wang Dong half-reclined on the bed. Their hands were clasped together, without communication or exchange, only their eyes eting from ti to ti. Wang Dong quickly averted his gaze, afraid he couldn’t hold back tears.
His wife was despondent, helpless, and filled with despair. She had tried hard, searched for many liver sources, but they were either confird incompatible or couldn’t be matched!
She was truly terrified, desperate.
Yet she dared not cry!
Because, wasn’t she his pillar of support now?
Director He had said, based on the current situation, Wang Dong could last no more than two weeks!
If a match couldn’t be found…
It might be hopeless!
She felt drained of tears.
Breaking a person doesn’t take significant power.
Life only needs to corner soone to achieve this.
Thus, guilt perated both of their gazes.
Both felt they’d let each other down.
Their love was profound, yet they exchanged no words, only the clasped hands revealed their emotions and yearning.
Chen Cang stood at the doorway, silently sighed.
Taking the inford consent form, he walked inside.
Seeing Chen Cang enter, the woman imdiately stood up: “Professor Chen, you’re here!”
Patient Wang Dong also nodded hastily, mustering a forced smile: “Professor Chen.”
Chen Cang nodded, reviewing Wang Dong’s dical records and examining his condition.
He suddenly frowned!
It really couldn’t be delayed any longer; now the liver’s tabolism was essentially being sustained by dication alone, even causing abnormalities in so blood system indicators, and the pancreatic protease was fluctuating unpredictably…
The patient probably couldn’t hold on much longer.
Chen Cang glanced at Wang Dong’s wife but hadn’t yet spoken when she was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Chen Cang suddenly didn’t know what to say!
“Professor Chen, you’re a lifesaver, I beg you, please save Wang Dong!”
“I can’t find a suitable liver source anymore. I’ll pay out of my own pocket! I’m willing to sell the house forever if I have to! Please, I beg you!”
Wang Dong clenched his teeth, his lips trembling, but the snot and tears already stread together uncontrollably.
Though a man of steely resolve,
With a heart as steadfast as rock,
Still, he feared the tears of his loved one,
A husband helpless in anguish.
This ti, Wang Dong couldn’t help but open his mouth but choked, unable to utter a sound.
Chen Cang, seeing this, quickly said: “Don’t worry! I’m here today to discuss this matter with you. We found a liver source!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and his wife were stunned!
“Doctor…” Wang Dong’s wife looked as though she might kneel before Chen Cang.
She was truly frightened!
Chen Cang quickly replied, “Please, let finish explaining!”
“Here’s the situation: we found a liver source, but it’s been under cold ischemia for 15.5 hours. Generally, with ischemia exceeding 10 hours, liver transplant outcos can be less favorable, with few achieving full recovery.”
…
“So I need to fully disclose everything to you…”
Chen Cang explained the liver conditions, providing thorough details and clarity.
After hearing this, Wang Dong and his wife fell silent.
A mont later, Wang Dong exchanged a glance with his wife.
In unison, they said: “Dr. Chen, we trust you! Let’s proceed with the surgery!”
Indeed.
A flawed life was better than death.
No one could tell when the next suitable liver source might be found, and given the situation, it truly couldn’t wait.
So patients, like those with liver cancer, could hold out a bit longer, but Wang Dong couldn’t afford to.
At this mont, Chen Cang pulled out the critical condition notice and other forms: “We invited Professor Zhou Hongguang from the 301 Hospital. He is an authority in the field of liver surgery.”
“Of course, I can’t promise anything specific.”
“But we’ll do everything in our power. Trust us.”
Wang Dong took the forms, smiling as he said, “Professor Chen, without you, I’d already be gone!”
“To live until now—I may not be satisfied, but I understand that none of this ca easily.”
As he spoke, he carefully signed his na on each page.
Then he looked at his wife: “Honey, thank you. If I…”
The woman suddenly kissed him, tears streaming: “Don’t say such things!”
