Gu Hongi’s expression changed instantly when she heard what Wang Yushan and Tang Jinbo said!
With so bla in her eyes, she glanced at the man, "His condition hasn’t been for just a day or two, has it? It must have been at least half a year, right? What were you doing at the beginning? Now the muscles in the child’s forearm have degenerated and necrosed, forming scars. How could he not be in pain?"
It’s no wonder Gu Hongi was angry!
The child was probably not even two years old, but at this mont, anyone who saw his twisted arm would feel pained.
Ischemic muscular contracture of the forearm is one of the serious complications that can occur after limb trauma, mainly caused by insufficient muscle blood supply.
This condition often has a history of trauma or a history of compression in the elbow and forearm.
It can occur in any age or gender, and if treated early and tily, the results can be satisfactory.
However, if the condition is untreated, or treatnt is delayed, irregular, or ineffective, the outco can be poor or lead to disability, and it can even cause death!
Therefore, early diagnosis and treatnt are of utmost importance.
Clearly, the child’s situation is no longer in the early stages; the presence of Volkmann’s ischemic contracture deformity with claw hand indicates a late stage.
That’s why Gu Hongi was sowhat angry and resentful.
The child was possibly only between one and two years old, an age when others would still be in swaddling clothes, enjoying the most beautiful monts of life.
Yet this child was on the brink of disability, or even death!
The man, upon hearing Gu Hongi’s rebuke, couldn’t help but flush with embarrassnt, shaking his head anxiously, wanting to explain, but he was too flustered to speak.
At this mont, Wang Yushan spoke solemnly, "The forearm has a fracture of the radius, but... it’s already healed, which is a malunion that has been around for over half a year."
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts at these matter-of-fact words.
The longer the duration, the more dangerous the situation, and the higher the risk of death!
What kind of parents could do such a thing? Their child’s arm had been fractured for more than half a year, neglected and left untreated, which allowed it to grow deford and possibly led to muscle necrosis, resulting in today’s Volkmann’s ischemic contracture deformity.
Chen Cang looked at Tao Hancai and asked, "How did you find him?"
Tao Hancai might not understand the doctors’ words but vaguely understood that arriving late ant the situation was severe and potentially life-threatening.
His eyes reddened with emotion as he kept shaking his head and praying. Then, suddenly coming to his senses, he wrote on a piece of paper, "I found the child in an alley the day before yesterday, but I am willing to pay for his treatnt. I have money. I have 52,941.5 yuan, and I am willing to give it all for his treatnt."
After saying this, he pulled out a plastic bag from his pocket, just like the last ti, but this ti it bulged with money, both coins and bills.
Upon reading the man’s words, everyone took a deep breath.
What kind of parents could do such a thing!
Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cub, yet they threw the child into an alley to fend for himself?
Are they worse than a holess person?
He was willing to give his whole fortune to save a child, while you carelessly discarded him in a corner.
At that mont, everyone looked at the holess man with additional respect and emotion.
...
...
Currently, with the child’s origins unknown and his family whereabouts a mystery, Chen Cang still needed to report to the hospital. The hospital and the governnt have a special fund support and managent system for abandoned infants.
They wouldn’t leave a holess man responsible for a child; society wouldn’t be so uncaring as to let a child fend for himself.
Chen Cang had found abandoned infants at the entrance of the ergency departnt before, but it was rare. However, they were familiar with such situations at the pediatric hospital.
Parents who couldn’t afford the dical bills would secretly leave their child at the entrance of the pediatric hospital’s ergency departnt, standing in a corner waiting for a doctor to bring the child in, and then leave in tears.
But who could be so heartless as to abandon a child next to a pile of trash, only to be picked up by a holess man!
Upon hearing the news, Qin Xiaoyuan hurried to the hospital, calling the dical departnt and other relevant departnts to prepare the necessary reports.
In the anti, they had already begun examining and drawing blood from the child.
When the X-ray ca out, everyone who saw the deford arm couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation, looking at the child sedated with tranquilizers, they beca sowhat sentintal.
At this mont, the holess man didn’t dare to approach, but he watched over him silently with his eyes.
Wang Yushan and Tang Jinbo began discussing how to deal with the disease.
When Chen Cang was listening, soone suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Chen Cang turned around, looked at the holess man, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
The holess man glanced around and gestured for Chen Cang to step outside.
Chen Cang nodded and followed him out.
The holess man took out a piece of paper and wrote, "Can I pay for the treatnt, and raise the child to adulthood?"
That one sentence left Chen Cang stunned.
The child would definitely be investigated by the public security authorities to find his parents; if they were not found, he would likely be sent to a welfare institution.
But... if that were the case, the holess man might lose the right to foster him, right?
And, legally speaking, such foundlings are generally not recognized.
Even getting the child registered would then beco a problem.
Yet, seeing the hopeful look in the holess man’s eyes, Chen Cang might understand what he was thinking.
This might be his commitnt to a future life.
Chen Cang thought for a mont, then said to him, "After the child’s illness is treated, he will be sent to a welfare institution. By then, I can help you file for adoption, but... he needs education..."
The holess man nodded, "I’ll pick trash and send him to school."
Chen Cang sighed, these matters were beyond his control, but... this genuine affection was indeed moving.
In the office, the four were discussing the surgery plan and arrangents!
The child was too young, and the situation was severe.
Chen Cang wouldn’t perform such surgery, not to ntion he couldn’t do it, there were very few in Dongyang who could.
There was just too much involved.
As everyone was discussing, Chen Cang also checked the data; this surgery covered too many procedures, including muscle release, tendon lengthening, tendon transfer, tendon fixation, bone shortening, bone excision, scar excision, pedicled nerve graft, skin flap transplant... and so on, including more than thirty major and minor intricate surgeries!
How could the current Chen Cang be capable of that?
It wasn’t just Chen Cang, even Tang Jinbo and Wang Yushan were constantly arguing about how to orderly carry out the surgery!
The four engaged in a heated discussion!
Nobody had expected that a gathering more than twenty years later would turn out to be such a scene.
No laughter or cheer, no ti to clink glasses; instead, a discussion about a difficult dical case and a surgery they would jointly undertake!
Wang Yushan was still yelling at Tang Jinbo, the debate was heated. After a while, they all ca to a conclusion:
"Parkes’ surgery!"
