When the Doctor Uses A Hack-Chapter 984 - 986

Chapter 984: Chapter 986

Chapter 984 -986

The next day, Chen Cang arrived at the hospital before eight o’clock.

The early morning rush at the emergency room meant a high volume of people, and Chen Cang also hurried to help.

However, at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

“Haidian District Saw Factory Dormitory Unit Three, an elderly person has slipped down the stairs and is now impaled by the railing, unconscious. Send an ambulance immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang quickly set off with nurse Cheng Yi.

Falling down stairs is inherently a very dangerous thing for the elderly.

Such incidents happen every year.

Now with the patient unconscious and their hand impaled on the railing, Chen Cang couldn’t help but hold his breath.

The saw factory dormitory was an old campus, composed of six-story buildings, and the housing there was nearly due for demolition, with poor facilities overall.

The stairway railing was somewhat rusty. As Chen Cang and little Cheng entered, they finally saw the condition of the elderly person.

And finally understood why the hand had been pierced by the railing.

Because after the railing aged, no one had repaired it.

As a result, some parts of the railing rods had broken off at strange angles.

And the elderly person, in their panicked state after slipping, had reached out wildly, only to have their hand impaled on one of the railing’s rods.

Right between two fingers.

Blood seeped out, the entire hand now swollen and purplish, bloodstained against the back of the hand, and yet the elderly person had fainted.

But looking at this scene, Chen Cang was also somewhat at a loss.

Because the iron rod had already pierced through the back of the hand, it certainly needed to be sawn off.

The old campus was mostly inhabited by elderly people, not many young people, apart from those who were all off to work.

Now, around seven or eight in the morning, an old man came holding a saw.

“Come, let me saw it off! Then we can get to the hospital.”

After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded, cleared the elders around him.

The problem wasn’t big, calling the fire department seemed a bit unnecessary.

And the old men confirmed, indeed, that an old man was an old man, with the assistance of the saw, the remaining iron rod was also sawn off.

At this moment, Cheng Yi hurriedly brought over the stretcher.

But what Chen Cang was most worried about now was not the hand’s wound, but whether there were any fractures in the body.

They needed to be very careful during the transfer.

Under Chen Cang’s guidance, several old men carefully placed the old person onto the stretcher, protecting the cervical spine, to prevent secondary injuries.

Next, Chen Cang looked around at the people, unable to help himself from asking, “Does the elderly have any family members?”

At this time, an old man said, “Their spouse is gone, they have a son who often comes by, there’s a number in his phone, give it a call.”

Chen Cang took out a senior’s phone from the elderly person’s possession, no password needed, deftly unlocked it with familiar presses of the dial and pound keys.

He quickly connected to the first contact.

As soon as the call connected, a somewhat familiar voice came on the line.

“Hello? Mom, what’s wrong?” The voice was patient.

Chen Cang said quickly, “Hello, I’m Chen Cang from the Capital Emergency Center. Your mother slipped down the stairs this morning and is now unconscious with a metal object through her hand. We’re preparing to take the elderly person to the hospital now… we need your cooperation!”

Hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned!

“Okay, okay, Doctor, I’ll be there right away, I’m coming now, please save my mum, money is no issue, thank you!”

Chen Cang handed the phone to Cheng Yi to explain the details, then gesture for the ambulance to prepare to leave.

After connecting to the ECG monitor, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Vital signs were normal.

The old person might have fainted from shock, and thinking this, Chen Cang said, “Low flow oxygen.”

Then Chen Cang started to carefully check the elderly person’s condition, seemingly not finding any obvious wounds.

Now, they needed to wait for the elderly person to wake up.

If it was merely a faint from fright and a puncture on the back of the hand, the problem wasn’t considered very serious.

When the ambulance arrived at the emergency room door, they carefully stabilized the gurney, cautious of any potential spinal injury to the patient.

But just at this moment, the old lady suddenly sat up.

Looking around in terror, she said, “Is this the hospital? How did I come to the hospital? Who brought me here?”

The old lady was very lucid.

Only then did Chen Cang explain, “In the morning when you were going downstairs, you accidentally slipped down the stairs and your hand was impaled on the iron fence. This is the wound. A neighbor called 120 for you.”

The elderly lady glanced at her hand and immediately inhaled sharply… It was clear that she just realized how much her hand hurt!

Chen Cang continued to ask, “Old lady, do you feel discomfort anywhere else?”

The old lady was tough, saying, “Right now, it’s just my hand that hurts. I can’t feel pain elsewhere. Can you let me get down and walk a few steps to see if there’s a problem?”

After speaking, the stretcher stopped, and the old lady got down and took a few steps. She seemed to be all right.

With a grimace, the old lady said, “Nothing major, just some issues with my hand.”

Chen Cang nodded, “Okay, let’s go get an X-ray to see what’s going on.”

“By the way, we’ve already notified your son, and he’s on his way here now, so don’t worry.”

Upon hearing what Chen Cang said, the woman’s face changed, and she quickly said, “No, no, Doctor, this is just a little cut. It’ll be fine once it’s stitched up. There’s no need to call my son, is there? He’s in his senior year of high school! He’s under a lot of pressure, and college entrance exams are coming up. We can’t distract him!”

Chen Cang was taken aback!

This… The old lady must be over sixty years old, right?

Her son is in high school?

That doesn’t make logical sense!

Looking at the old lady, Chen Cang suddenly paused and asked, “Old lady, how old are you?”

The old lady paused, “That… I can’t quite remember, oh dear, Doctor, I’m really fine, please don’t call my son over.”

After the X-ray, it was found that the elderly woman had a hand bone fracture and tendon damage.

But because there was metal involved, an MRI wasn’t possible.

Surgery was needed as soon as possible to remove the metal bar and then complete the repairs.

After Chen Cang returned to the emergency room, a man quickly ran in.

“Doctor, Nurse, my mother’s name is Zhang Lianhua, I’m her son. I was the one who got the call earlier, how is my mom now?” The man looked breathlessly at the nurse station and asked loudly.

Just as Chen Cang was accompanying the old lady back, he saw the man and hurriedly said, “She’s right here.”

The man turned around, saw the old lady, and quickly ran over. He looked at her hand and shakily lifted his hands, almost in tears, wanting to touch her.

“Mom…”

Seeing the young man in professional attire, mature and well-dressed, yet… his face was so familiar.

Isn’t this… the man in a school uniform on the subway?

When the old lady saw the young man addressing her as mom, she couldn’t help but say, “Young man, who are you? I am not your mother! You’ve got the wrong person!”

Chen Cang was also stunned!

At that moment, the young man seemed to have an epiphany, turned around, ran into the bathroom, and shortly after, came running out in a school uniform.

His belly was large, bulging at the front…

“Mom, are you all right?” the young man asked with a look of concern.

Upon seeing the young man, the woman immediately felt guilty, “Why did you come here? You have a heavy workload in your senior year, you can’t just skip class like this. Mom’s fine, you hurry back to school!”

This exchange left Chen Cang and everyone at the nurse station completely stunned.

The young man gave Chen Cang a knowing look, and Chen Cang sent the old lady back to her ward and quickly arranged for a blood test.

At this time, the young man took out his ID card and the household registration book from his person.

He gave a wry smile, “My mom has Alzheimer’s. She can only remember how I looked in high school. I found out that if I wear the school uniform, she can recognize me; if I don’t, she can’t…”

“I always carry these documents with me, just in case my mom has a problem, so that no one gets the wrong idea!”

Chen Cang suddenly fell silent at his words.

Linking this incident with what he experienced on the subway yesterday, Chen Cang suddenly understood… That’s how it was…

Such a filial son!

Who doesn’t care about others’ opinions, doing what he believes a son should do.

It seems simple, yet he bears the pressure of public opinion.

But the young man accepted it all calmly and quietly.

Isn’t this what family is all about?
