Chapter 838: Nocturnal Bustle (Part 4)
The outcome seemed unexpected yet plausible.
Next, the task fell to Cui Liying's hands.
As the chief resident in gynecology, repairing a uterus was pretty straightforward for her.
Chen Cang watched intently, even though he wasn't particularly interested in repair work... after all, one can never have too many skills.
He often worked in the emergency department, and if he ever encountered an emergency patient with such a condition, it would always be beneficial to have observed more!
Cui Liying couldn't help but feel relieved, "It's a good thing the laparotomy was timely; otherwise, if the uterus had been torn for an extended period, causing tissue necrosis, we can forget about saving the baby, let alone the entire uterus."
The surgery continued, and during it, Ma Yuehui arrived in the operating room and quickly asked Chen Cang.
"How is it?"
Chen Cang nodded, "The patient had a cornual pregnancy which led to a ruptured uterus. It was discovered in time, so there shouldn't be any major problems!"
The baby had already been delivered by cesarean section.
Cui Liying began repairing the uterus, "Thankfully, Doctor Chen's prompt initiation of the necessary procedures averted a real danger."
"This kind of disease is very hard to detect in the early stages. Once discovered, it's always life-threatening."
Hearing Cui Liying's words, Ma Yuehui looked at Chen Cang with a touch more relief in his eyes.
[Ding! Ma Yuehui's favorability +5, current 25.]
...
...
The surgery continued, and outside the operating room, a middle-aged couple sat in the front row chairs, not uttering a word!
"Zhang Gong, you are already a man in your mid-twenties. What do you think you've done?" asked the husband.
"Put the cart before the horse?"
"Great! You say you love Tingzi, then let me ask you, have you fulfilled the responsibilities and duties of a husband?"
The middle-aged man was visibly angry!
But at this moment, the woman beside him couldn't help but interject, "Enough, what time is this? Don't make a scene in the hospital."
The middle-aged man sighed deeply.
Standing there, Zhang Gong was filled with guilt, uncertain of what to say.
Even less sure of what to do.
Apologize?
What good would an apology do?
Fear?
Some things have to be faced sooner or later, there is no avoiding them.
The second hand on the clock continued to turn relentlessly!
All three hearts were in the operating room.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Gong stood up, looked at the middle-aged man, and said earnestly, word by word, "Uncle, I know you've never thought highly of me, thinking I'm not capable, that I can't provide the life Tingzi wants."
"In truth, I've always been trying. I didn't start with much, but I am willing to fight for it. I don't earn much, but I can work two jobs."
"Three years ago, I came to the capital. In these three years, I didn't dare to slack off for a day. I gave it my all, not to earn your respect, but just to sincerely ensure that Tingzi wouldn't suffer following me."
"I know, this incident was irresponsible of me; it wasn't something a man should do. Not that I didn't want to take responsibility, but in your eyes, I wasn't worthy of it."
With that, Zhang Gong couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"The efforts that took me so long might be insignificant to others, but my genuine love, care, and protection for Tingzi have never been less than anyone else's."
"Now, Tingzi is in danger because of me, and even the baby is gone, maybe she even can't get pregnant in the future; I'm aware of all this!"
"I've thought it through clearly. Whether Tingzi is well or ill, healthy or sick, I will guard her with the greatest effort for the rest of my life."
Zhang Gong was speaking from the heart.
In fact, he and Tingzi had been in love for five years.
Even the idea of having a child was Tingzi's.
She truly wanted to start a family with Zhang Gong.
But the reality is, simply loving each other is not enough; parental approval is needed.
Zhang Gong's heart ached, and as a man, to resort to such methods for marriage made him feel like something despicable!
Tingzi's father's words did not anger him.
But neither was there anything he could do.
Upon hearing Zhang Gong's words, the middle-aged couple also cooled down a bit.
The middle-aged woman sighed, "Little Zhang, take a seat for a while. You've had a hard day too."
Outside, silence once again fell.
In the operating room, the repair of the uterus was soon nearing completion.
Cui Liying, to prevent infection within the uterine cavity, placed a drainage tube.
The surgery quickly came to an end, and at this moment, Chen Cang suddenly received a system notification:
[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully learned through observation and acquired Cui Liying's skill: Inversion Uterine Repositioning Surgery Technique (Elementary)!]
Chen Cang was taken aback!
What was the meaning of this succession of skills?
[Inversion Uterine Repositioning Surgery Technique: Elementary level, used for manual repositioning treatment of an inverted uterus!]
Chen Cang immediately understood!
Uterine inversion?
This wasn't simply a gynecological condition, but rather a commonly seen emergency with dangerous implications!
Uterine inversion refers to when the inner lining of the uterus turns outward, a rare and severe obstetric complication!
It can cause bleeding, shock, and infection.
If acute uterine inversion is not promptly discovered and treated, the maternal mortality rate is extremely high.
Moreover, the disease can lack clear symptoms, easily being overlooked, and even lead to unchecked bleeding, infection, and necrosis if not handled in time!
This was an emergency life-saving procedure.
Chen Cang, seeing this, couldn't help feeling elated inside at gaining an emergency lifesaving skill!
The surgery wrapped up smoothly, and Chen Cang could be said to be returning with a full harvest!
Acquiring such a skill was a major gain, compared to anything else.
The operation went very smoothly, as the diagnosis and treatment were timely and no other diseases were triggered, this was a successful emergency surgery.
However, now it seemed that the patient was no longer an emergency case and should be transferred to gynecology for further treatment and care.
After all, that was their area of expertise!
After coming out of the operating room, the family crowded around.
"Doctor, how did the surgery go?"
Chen Cang explained, "The patient had an ectopic pregnancy, with the pregnancy occurring at the corner of the uterus. As the embryo inside the body continued to grow and develop, it caused the uterus to rupture, leading to bleeding into the abdominal cavity."
"However, the surgery was timely and successful. The child has been removed, and the uterus has been repaired. In the forthcoming period, she needs to rest well in gynecology."
Hearing Chen Cang's explanation, the family didn't know quite how to feel.
After all, it all started because of the pregnancy.
But as long as the child was okay...
The middle-aged woman hurriedly asked, "Doctor, will my daughter be able to have children in the future?"
Cui Liying nodded and smiled, "Think of it as a cesarean section; it won't affect future fertility."
"But this time, it was because you did not perform a timely check at the beginning of the pregnancy and failed to detect the ectopic pregnancy. If there's a next time, make sure to take it seriously right away."
Hearing that her daughter's fertility was not affected, the middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief.
That evening, Chen Cang arranged for the patient's transfer to another hospital.
Looking at the young man who came with the patient, Chen Cang shook his head. The rest of their story, he would never know...
