Chapter 254: Chapter 255: The Pianist’s Hands (Added for 7000 monthly tickets)
Chen Cang heard the phone ringing at the nurse’s station and was montarily stunned.
The calls from here generally ant there were just a few possibilities, yet each one was quite critical!
The first was an in-hospital ergency consultation, but if an ergency consultation was being called, that ant a patient’s life was in danger and needed rescue!
The second was from ergency services, for the tily rescue of critically ill patients.
Either of these scenarios could make one’s heart clench.
Chen Cang hurried over and decisively answered, “Hello! Chen Cang, Ergency Departnt, Second Provincial Hospital.”
“Doctor Chen, this is Zhang Keqin!” The loud voice on the other end imdiately reminded Chen Cang of the imposing captain of the criminal police.
But getting a call from this person was never good news…
Chen Cang quickly asked, “Captain Zhang, what’s the matter?”
Zhang Keqin’s grave voice replied, “Just now, at the South Decagon Plaza Opera House, the pianist Xing Yu’s hand was crushed by a falling light!”
Chen Cang was taken aback. Xing Yu… Wasn’t he that rather famous pianist?
An accident during a performance?
But… was this really sothing for the criminal police to handle?
“Xing Yu is currently on his way to the Provincial People’s Hospital. If it’s convenient for you… could you co over and take a look?”
Chen Cang hesitated for a mont, “Captain Zhang, he’s a big star. Call in an expert! From out of province, from the capital, from the gacity, from the Sixth Hospital of the gacity, or if all else fails, from abroad…”
Zhang Keqin sighed, “We’ve called everyone we needed to, but… as you know, the incident happened in our Anyang City. We’ve got to make a show of inviting all the experts we can, you see. My hand recovery went pretty well, didn’t it? And Wu Gang, that kid can even shoot now! Our chief asked to invite you over.”
It dawned on Chen Cang that he was being asked rely to make up the numbers!
Just after hanging up, Chen Cang’s phone rang. It was from Director Qin, and he was surprised.
Why would Director Qin be calling him? After picking up, Qin Xiaoyuan said, “Chen, give your full cooperation with the rescue operation for Xing Yu. Don’t worry about the departnt for now.”
Chen Cang nodded, “Okay.”
Qin Xiaoyuan added, “And… don’t overdo it, just go and take a look.”
Chen Cang was startled, but he nodded in agreent.
What else could Chen Cang say when the big boss had spoken? He might as well go and et the legendary Piano Prince.
“I’m heading to the Provincial People’s now,” Chen Cang said, taking off his gloves, to Qin Yue who was gossiping by his side.
Qin Yue’s eyes widened, “Xing Yu is injured?”
Chen Cang nodded, “How do you know!?”
Qin Yue replied, “I heard it, and besides, it’s on the news already!”
With that, Qin Yue showed the news on her smartphone.
Chen Cang paid no attention to Qin Yue, took off his white coat, handed it to her, and said, “Hmm, I’m off then.”
Qin Yue was surprised, “I want to go too.”
Chen Cang was speechless, “What for?”
Qin Yue replied, “I’m a fan of Xing Yu as well. I couldn’t go to the performance, but surely I can go to the hospital to see.”
Chen Cang gave her a look, “What’s so great about chasing celebrities? Do your job properly, tsk~”
Qin Yue glanced at him, “I see jealousy in your eyes. Are you jealous?”
Chen Cang: Heh, pui!
…
…
Before the taxi even reached the entrance of the Provincial People’s Hospital, the surrounding cars and crowds were already so dense, it was completely impassable.
The driver was taken aback, “What’s going on at the hospital? A dical dispute? Why is it so busy that we can’t get through?!”
Chen Cang simply paid the fare and got out of the car.
That’s the life of a celebrity for you, always having a crowd of people paying attention to everything you do, even a bunch of people co to see when you’re hurt, as if there’s anything worth seeing.
All the police officers around were maintaining order, and Chen Cang also saw Wu Gang, in his police uniform, looking dashing as he stood there.
All of a sudden, Chen Cang felt that the doctor’s uniform wasn’t so attractive.
Wu Gang also saw Chen Cang and hurried over, smiling as he said, “Dr. Chen, you’re here? Go on in.”
In Wu Gang’s eyes, there was full gratitude, as it was Chen Cang who had allowed him to hold a gun once again, “With you here, there’s a good chance Xing Yu can be saved!”
Chen Cang smiled and squeezed through the crowd, heading inside.
Tendon repair should be completed within twelve hours. Besides, what’s the use of Chen Cang being anxious? To tell the truth, if they hadn’t called him, he really wouldn’t have wanted to co.
After all, countless people were watching over Xing Yu, and if the surgery were unsuccessful, he could forget about having a good career as a doctor for the rest of his life.
The pressure of public opinion was enough to kill a person.
He rembered that so ti ago, a celebrity had a failed surgery, and the chief surgeon’s ho was doxxed by crazy fans. There were people standing downstairs cursing every day, sending threats and whatnot.
Calling the police was useless since there was not much you could do if soone decided to act shalessly.
The doctor’s child was cursed at school, his wife didn’t dare to go to work, and the family, with no other choice, had to move.
But that group of fans still wouldn’t let up, and ultimately, under the pressure of public opinion, that doctor jumped off a building.
In the end, that celebrity’s reputation was destroyed, disgraced, and it seed the fans were finally satisfied with the outco.
So sotis, treating celebrities could be more troubleso than treating leaders, as many fans don’t understand the reality of the situation, either due to their young age or lack of capacity to correctly assess the circumstances, which is why such incidents are not uncommon.
Lately, celebrities have gotten smarter about seeking dical care, doing so covertly, or going abroad for treatnt, lest they harm themselves and others. After all, celebrities might not think so far, but public opinion always wants a topic.
Celebrities are just tools for generating buzz, leveraging their influence for others.
So treating celebrities is like this, if it’s a minor illness, everyone rushes to cure it – success brings fa, but with major illnesses, they shy away from treating – a failure can ruin everything.
At that mont, the office of the Departnt of Orthopedic Surgery was also packed with people — doctors, leaders, and related personnel. At this ti, Chen Cang also saw Xing Yu, sitting on a chair with his right hand resting on the table, his wrist wrapped in thick gauze, his face hidden under the brim of a hat, his expression unknown.
Chen Cang went over and greeted Zhang Keqin, then nodded at Tan Zhonglin.
When Tan Zhonglin saw Chen Cang, he couldn’t help but give a aningful glance. Seeing that Chen Cang didn’t understand, he ca over, glaring, and said, “What are you doing here?”
Chen Cang shrugged helplessly, “The dean dragged over.”
Tan Zhonglin understood; with the incident occurring in Anyang City, the leaders needed to ensure that the image and face-saving asures were well executed.
However, Tan Zhonglin looked at Chen Cang, glanced around a few tis, then pulled Chen Cang to a corner, looking serious and whispered, “Listen, Chen, whatever you do, don’t try to show off this ti! This isn’t the mont for heroics.”
“This isn’t just anybody, it’s a celebrity. If you don’t sew it up right, you can forget about being a doctor in the future, even leading a peaceful life will be tough, rember that! Don’t try to show off!”
Chen Cang nodded, “Don’t worry, Director Tan, I’m not so young hotshot who jumps at stirring things up.”
Tan Zhonglin was still not reassured and gave a few more cautions, “Hmm, in a while I’ll go and do the debrident. They also don’t trust us to do the job, and are waiting for outside experts. Once they arrive, we’ll discuss how to proceed with the surgery.”
“Just treat this as a learning experience, watch more, talk less!”
“You’re only 27 years old, you’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, rember my words!”
Tan Zhonglin seed still worried, giving Chen Cang a few wary glances before turning to leave.
Chen Cang smiled, his heart still feeling warm.
Whether it was Tan Zhonglin or Qin Xiaoyuan, they were both just worried about him being too youthful and impetuous.
