Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 253 - 168: An Unremarkable Old Man, a Veteran!

Chapter 253: Chapter 168: An Unremarkable Old Man, a Veteran!

In the ICU,

when firefighter Hou Gang’s parents and partner received the more than seven million in donations, they were all moved to tears.

Even the leaders who came to visit were startled by the figure!

They didn’t expect that the First City Hospital could raise so much money for their firefighter, which solved a big problem for them.

After all, the firefighter was injured on duty, and according to the situation, they should be responsible for the medical expenses.

But due to limited funds, there wasn’t much money available in the firefighting fund, and it required multiple layers of approval.

Two million! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This was their current limit~~~

And knowing that Qin Feng raised so much money for them and returned more than four million, everyone felt a bit choked up for a moment.

These heroes who bled and sacrificed for the safety of the people should receive such treatment!

"Thank you! You are the savior of our entire family!"

Hou Gang’s mother almost got off the hospital bed to kowtow to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng dared not accept it and firmly held her down on the bed, earnestly comforting and persuading her.

Because he was also responsible for Hou Gang’s subsequent treatment, the pressure was tremendous as well.

Finally,

half an hour later, the donation ended under the lens of reporters.

"Phew~ My goodness, I’m exhausted, it’s more difficult than performing ten surgeries."

Qin Feng took off his mask and slumped into a chair, looking helpless.

"Hehehe~ Tired already?"

Zhou Xianren from the Emergency Department, Director Qi from the ICU, and Director Su Yun from Medical Affairs looked at him, stifling their laughter.

"You, kid, if it were someone else, they’d be strutting around with their tail held high. It’s such a great achievement!"

Zhou Xianren couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling a bit regretful,

"It’s just you, aside from saving people, performing surgeries, and teaching, nothing else seems to interest you.

Oh, no!

Except Liu Yan’Er."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng gave him an exasperated look, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips as Liu Yan’Er’s face flashed in his mind.

"Look, he’s definitely thinking about Liu Yan’Er right now~"

Zhou Xianren keenly observed, pointing at Qin Feng and saying to the two beside him.

"Hahaha~"

Director Qi and Director Su laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Qin Feng was at a loss, not expecting to be teased by these three directors.

....

In the Oncology Department,

three men hurriedly arrived at the nurses’ station.

"Hello, I’d like to ask which room Mr. Chen Shouguo is staying in?"

The middle-aged man in the lead stopped and asked the nurses.

The nurses looked up upon hearing the voice and were stunned.

Military personnel?

"Chen Shouguo, right? He’s in room 3."

One of the nurses pointed to a room in the distance.

"Alright, thank you!"

The man nodded in thanks and continued hurrying to the room.

"Oh my god, the aura of that man was so intimidating!"

"Yeah, I felt it too, very overwhelming."

"My husband is in the military, and that man just now, his shoulder bars look like... a commander!"

"Commander? Really?!"

Hearing this, the other young nurses were dumbfounded.

Though they didn’t understand military ranks, everyone knew the weight of the word ’commander’.

As heavy as Mount Tai!

"Should we report this?"

One of the nurses came to her senses and asked hesitantly.

"A commander visiting an elder, that elder must not be ordinary! We should report it."

The nurse whose husband was in the military said solemnly.

After all, she had heard countless stories from her husband about the military, so her political awareness was quite high.

After all, she was a battalion commander’s wife!

With that, she quickly ran to the director’s office to report the matter.

When Oncology Department’s Director Xu Da heard this news, he jumped out of his chair, exclaiming loudly.

"What?! Commander!!"

"This is serious, I must inform the dean immediately!

Xiaoyu, thank you for telling me this news, I’ll treat you all to a meal later!"

Having said this, he rushed out of the office to room 3.

This situation must be clarified. After all, if it’s indeed a commander visiting, it’s not a simple matter of just any patient.

These are valued treasures of the nation, the sharp blades of war!

When he reached the door of room 3, he adjusted his breathing, relaxed, and walked in.

"Elder Chen, why didn’t you tell me you were hospitalized? Am I not your god-grandson anymore?"

Just as he stepped through the door, a deep male voice filled with grievance and complaint spoke.

"Hehehe~ Xiaoxin, these are just old ailments of mine."

The elder chuckled weakly, his breathing rattling,

"It’s all your grandma’s fault, I told her not to tell you. You’re so busy; why bother visiting this old bag of bones?"

"A heart tumor is just a minor ailment? Why don’t you come with me to Beijing for treatment? My dad has been wanting to visit you too, but I didn’t dare tell him you were ill."

"Forget about me, this old man, don’t let your dad go through any trouble. I’m already very happy that you came to see me, cough, cough, cough~"

"Elder Chen, I~"

At this point, the man’s voice choked up.

Director Xu took a couple of steps, seeing a man in military uniform tightly holding the elder’s hand by the bed.

Standing behind him were two slightly younger men holding black briefcases.

On the other side of the bed sat an old lady, looking at the man in uniform with a kind smile.

Wearing a slightly yellowed short-sleeved floral shirt, with silver hair and deeply etched wrinkles, her skin was dark, depicting a true rural farmer.

"Director Xu is here, sorry about this~"

The elder on the bed was the first to see Xu Da, nodding and smiling.

"No problem, no problem. I’m just here to ask how you’re feeling today, sir?"

Xu Da quickly shook his head, politely saying, then his gaze fell on the man beside, his pupils constricting in surprise.

It’s really a commander!

"Thank you, Director Xu, for your concern. I’m alright today, just a bit dizzy, and having chest tightness in the evening, but nothing else."

The elder smiled gently.

"Alright, I’ll ask the nurse to add some medicine for your lungs, to help you sleep better tonight."

Xu Da nodded, quickly making a note of it,

"Once your condition improves in a couple of days, we can transfer you to cardiothoracic surgery to consider surgery."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much."

"Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off."

After saying this, Xu Da nodded at the two elders, glanced at the man’s reddened eyes, smiled, nodded again, and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the ward, he took a deep breath, shock apparent on his face.

Damn!

This is huge!

This matter needs to be reported quickly!

Five minutes later,

After Dean Zhang Tong learned of this matter, he immediately called the relevant superior and city leaders.

A high-ranking official quietly came to the city’s first hospital to visit an unremarkable rural old man.

This definitely isn’t simple!

And when the city learned of this, they were equally astonished!

A high-ranking official!

Why so sudden?

"To alarm a high-ranking official, it must be for an old war veteran. Quick, get Minister Zhai from the Military Department and the Organization Department to verify the identity of the old man Dean Zhang just mentioned, named Chen Shouguo."

"Okay, I’ll go right away!"

The secretary, hearing this, immediately called the other party to verify the situation.

About ten minutes later, news came back.

Chen Shouguo,

years old,

A resident of Mengou Village, Lianfeng Town, Jiangcheng City,

War veteran,

Returned to farm in the countryside in 1979, and has been doing so ever since.

That’s all...

???

Why is the information so scarce?

It shouldn’t be!

Everyone who received this information looked puzzled.

The information suggests mediocrity to the extreme; even with the identity of a war veteran, there’s no record.

There seems to be only one possibility!

That is, after returning in 1979, the old man concealed all his information besides being a soldier, to the point where the Military Department’s database couldn’t find any more information about him.

But to alarm a war zone commander to personally visit, even a mediocre identity,

Now, it’s no longer mediocre!

"Prepare the car, and also inform Minister Zhai and a few others to come with me to the city’s first hospital if they’re available."

The mayor of Jiangcheng immediately said solemnly, then walked out quickly, pulling out his phone to make a call.

And this call’s target was the core of Su Province in Jinling.

This information must be reported, as it involves a war zone and can’t be taken lightly.

Shortly after, three black Passats from different directions in Jiangcheng drove towards the city’s first hospital simultaneously.

....

At the city’s first hospital,

Director Zhang Fan from cardiothoracic surgery, holding several examination reports, came to the General Medicine Department office.

"Qin Feng, help me take a look at this patient. I really feel helpless!"

Zhang Fan pushed open the door, frowned, full of worry as he spoke.

"Director Zhang, what kind of patient makes you so anxious that you called me in advance."

Seeing his expression, Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile a bit.

"Don’t mention it, it’s from Old Xu in the oncology department, a cardiac tumor, sigh~"

Zhang Fan sighed and placed the examination reports in front of him.

"Heart tumor?"

Qin Feng muttered, then picked up the examination reports and started reviewing them.

"Damn! This serious?!"

Upon seeing the CT images, he couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.

In the CT cardiac angiography, there was an approximately 4*3*5 spherical shadow in the right ventricle.

A bad premonition rose in Qin Feng’s heart, as just this CT angiography already indicated how severe it was!

It almost occupied 2/3 of the right ventricle, it could be said the patient was on the brink of death!

Upon reading the diagnosis conclusion, his heart finally sank completely.

Cardiac sarcoma!

Cardiac sarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant tumor of the heart, second only to myxoma among primary heart tumors.

Among primary cardiac sarcomas, rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common, followed by lymphosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, myxosarcoma, and various malignant hemangiomas.

This type of sarcoma can occur in any part of the heart but is commonly found on the right side, especially in the right atrium, where it grows along the heart wall, possibly protruding inward into the heart or outward into the pericardial cavity.

Currently, the patient’s cardiac tumor is obviously protruding inward, already beginning to press against the left atrium.

The situation is very dangerous!

"How could there be such a severe cardiac tumor? When were they admitted?"

Qin Feng put down the examination reports, his tone instantly becoming somber and his expression grave.

"This patient was first admitted in the oncology department, then Director Xu immediately sent me the examination reports upon discovery, saying this situation is serious and our cardiothoracic needs to make a decision."

Zhang Fan was also a bit anxious, sighed, not knowing what to do,

"This patient is already 93 years old. The fact that he’s still alive with such a severe cardiac sarcoma is a miracle. Once the tumor completely invades the blood vessels...."

At this point, he couldn’t continue.

Qin Feng remained silent, not saying a word.

At 93 years old, with an egg-sized cardiac sarcoma, it’s almost a death sentence!

There’s practically no need for surgery because even if it were performed, there’s no guarantee he could survive off the operating table.

He could fall asleep at any moment and never wake up...

At this time,

Several municipal leaders’ cars had already parked in the parking lot.

Dean Zhang Tong, accompanied by Su Yun, the director of the medical office, was waiting for them.

"Old Zhang, is he still there?"

Just got out of the car, immediately asked.

"Yes, he is."

Zhang Tong nodded.

"Good, let’s hurry up and take a look."

Slightly relieved, he quickly walked towards the inpatient department,

"I have already informed the province of this matter, saying we need to confirm his identity, and then provide as much help as possible."

"I understand. Regarding the old man’s medical condition, our oncology and cardiothoracic departments are already discussing treatment plans."

Zhang Tong nodded and said.

"Alright, let’s go then."

With that, they hurried into the elevator....
