When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 256: Simulated Stone? (Extra for 7500 monthly passes)
 

From the moment Chen Cang entered the office, he sensed a repressive atmosphere. Everyone was deep in thought, tangled in their concerns.

The agent was contacting the company, and the company was contacting the insurance company.

The person in charge of this performance’s organizing committee was beside himself with worry, who knew how such a big light could malfunction?

Gradually, experts from the major hospitals in Anyang City in the field of hand surgery entered the office.

Seated there, Xing Yu thought about the day’s events, and he couldn’t help but shudder with residual fear. It wasn’t just his hand at stake; he had nearly lost his life. With this thought, he sighed involuntarily but reflected on his hands and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. How crucial are a pair of hands for a pianist?

One didn’t need to think twice to know!

Whenever Xing Yu dwelt on this, he dared not let his thoughts wander further. Could it be that his career was over just as it had begun?

Alas…

At that moment, the phone rang. He saw it was his wife calling.

As soon as Xing Yu picked it up, he heard a child’s voice tinged with sobs: “Daddy… Daddy… Are you all right?”

With a smile, Xing Yu replied, “I’m fine, Tian Tian. Daddy’s okay, don’t worry. Without Daddy at home, you have to take good care of Mommy. You’re a little man, aren’t you?”

The little boy: “But Mommy and I saw on the news that you were hit by a light… It looked painful, are you really okay, Daddy? We’re at the airport right now.”

Xing Yu was startled: “Tian Tian, hand the phone to your mom.”

After hearing his wife speak, Xing Yu’s voice grew stern: “Why did you bring the child here?”

The other party: “The child insisted on coming. He was crying and making a fuss, and I couldn’t stop him. I’m also very worried about you. What’s the situation? Is it serious?”

Xing Yu shook his head: “It was an accident. A light suddenly fell, I reacted quickly and wasn’t hit, but I got a few cuts from the flying glass. It’s not a big problem, don’t worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Tan Zhonglin said, “Mr. Xing, let’s go get your wounds cleaned up first. We’ll do all the necessary checks. We shouldn’t waste all our time here, right?”

The person in charge from the organizing side, Zhu Zhiyi, agreed, “Yes, Mr. Xing, let’s proceed with active treatment, or else by the time the experts arrive and we begin the examination, it will be too late!”

“Rest assured, we will take full responsibility for this incident!”

The agent, Xing Yu’s younger sister, Xing Li Ping, was about to say something when Xing Yu stood up and nodded, “Well then, thank you for your help, Director Tan.”

As they talked, a group made their way to the treatment room. But with so many people, how could they all fit into such a tiny space?

Tan Zhonglin decisively said, “Aside from the experts, I kindly ask everyone else to wait outside. Xiao Chen, help me out.”

Tan Zhonglin efficiently arranged everything.

Chen Cang was slightly startled and casually picked up a white coat from a chair, put it on, and followed Tan Zhonglin into the treatment room.

Tan Zhonglin glanced at everyone and said, “Let’s all have a look at the situation. Xiao Chen, pass me the dressing pack.”

Having spoken, Tan Zhonglin carefully cut the bandage wrapped around the back of the hand with scissors.

The wound was suddenly exposed!

Glass shards had not been completely removed and were still embedded in the wound, with a large area of mangled flesh on the back of the hand.

And most critically, glass was embedded on the radial side of the wrist and back of the hand, which was by no means a trivial spot!

Tan Zhonglin and the surrounding directors frowned slightly.

Anatomically, this area was referred to as the “snuffbox” region, located on the radial side of the wrist and back of the hand, with dense distribution of nerves, blood vessels, and tendons!

Radial boundaries were marked by the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis; the ulnar border by the extensor pollicis longus tendon; the proximal border by the radial styloid process; and the floor by the scaphoid and trapezium bones, with blood vessels and nerves passing through this area.

A small area packed with one nerve, two blood vessels, three tendons, and four bones.

Apart from the snuffbox injury, there were two fascial spaces on the back of the hand, which could become major factors in exacerbating the patient’s condition and could also hinder rehabilitation efforts later on!

Because the extensor tendons and intertendinous connections, along with the deep fascia, form the dorsal carpal fascia, the superficial aspect is the subcutaneous space on the back of the hand, while the deep aspect is the subspace under the tendon sheath.

The subcutaneous space is rich in subcutaneous venous networks, superficial lymphatic vessels, and dorsal cutaneous nerves of the hand. The subspace under the tendon sheath often communicates with the subcutaneous space on the back of the hand, allowing infections to spread to each other, which can easily lead to complications in the snuffbox area.

After suturing the tendon, the infection between the two fascial spaces can quickly spread to the suture area, meaning that the probability of adhesion is over ninety percent!

Before the debridement even began, worry was etched on the faces of all the chiefs!

If it were an ordinary person, this would be of little concern, as adhesions are common, suturing is straightforward, and debridement is not troublesome.

But the patient in question is a pianist, the current rising star “Prince of Piano,” Xing Yu—who has a bit of fame both domestically and internationally!

At only 33 years old, Xing Yu had just received the highest Polish “Honorary Art” cultural medal, the Gold Medal of Honor, and his future seemed boundless!

His right hand post-adhesion… he wouldn’t even be able to compare to an ordinary person, let alone play the piano!

One could say that if the surgery were not successful, his career would be over!

With this in mind, all the experts couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

However, worrying too much was useless, Tan Zhonglin needed to do what had to be done, and wounds needed to be handled quickly.

“Chen Cang, open a bottle of saline solution and flush it.”

Chen Cang nodded, opened a bottle of saline solution, set it up on the irrigator, and began flushing.

Then came the hydrogen peroxide

…

Gradually, the wound was exposed!

Tan Zhonglin, using tweezers, directly removed the glass shards. There was some additional damage, but it was not severe.

And Chen Cang, who was assisting with the dressing change, witnessed a scene before his eyes!

[Pianist’s damaged tendon: Royal level, lv45, severe tendon injury with infection in the dorsal carpal fascial space making post-healing very difficult. The probability of adhesion is up to ninety percent. Due to his professional characteristics, it is automatically promoted to Royal level, and the difficulty of surgery increases. Healing requirement: no adhesion!]

Chen Cang was immediately stunned!

He finally understood why the injury was classified as Royal level; the standards were different!

If it were just the wound of most people, this would at most be classified as an elite monster, and might not even qualify as a boss, but this surgery was particularly critical for Xing Yu’s career.

To suture the tendons without adhesions, the difficulty skyrocketed exponentially—it definitely wasn’t a simple task.

It was nowhere near that easy!

Chen Cang could unequivocally say that he couldn’t guarantee success himself!

Desiring no adhesion meant there was only one chance for surgery. If it were not handled well the first time, a second surgery would definitely not result in no adhesion.

Moreover, the severe risk of infection on the back of the hand increased the likelihood of adhesion in the “snuffbox” area even more!

Suddenly, Chen Cang thought of a treasure he possessed!

[Simulation stone!]

Chen Cang now hesitated. Should he give it a try?

After some thought, he still hadn’t decided. He’d wait and see because, after all, there were many other experts present. The Hand Surgery Department of the Sixth Hospital in Magic City was nationally top-ranked.

If he attempted to intervene, they certainly wouldn’t trust him!
