Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 57 - 52: This Heart Is the Only Thing I Can Give You

Chapter 57: Chapter 52: This Heart Is the Only Thing I Can Give You

That night,

Qin Feng received dozens of calls, all congratulating him on winning double first place in the Su Province competition!

It wasn’t until the early hours that it finally calmed down, leaving Zou Yong and Lin Xiaoxiao dumbfounded, looking at him in disbelief.

Who were these people making those calls?!

From doctors at Jiangcheng City First Hospital to department directors, vice presidents, and the president, as well as a few directors and attending physicians from the Second and Third Hospitals.

Even directors from Jinling City First Hospital personally called to congratulate him!

For a moment, in their eyes, Qin Feng seemed like a golden legend, surrounded by innumerable halos!

"Qin Feng, how... how do you know these big shots?"

Zou Yong was almost at a loss for words, feeling his throat a bit dry.

"We meet more often during surgeries, so we got to know each other."

Qin Feng said with a gentle smile.

"Zou Yong, you classmates from out of town may not know, but Qin Feng is now the chief surgeon at Jiangcheng City First Hospital, and he’s already signed with the hospital."

Lin Xiaoxiao explained proudly upon hearing this,

"Now there’s no hospital in Jiangcheng that doesn’t know Qin Feng!"

(⊙o⊙)...

Hearing their words, Zou Yong was once again shocked.

Chief surgeon?

Meeting more during surgeries?

Is this really my classmate?!

It’s important to know that even our top students Shen Yuan and Zheng Qiuya, who ranked in the top five in the competition, haven’t independently taken cases.

They are still in their internship period without official licenses, so they are not allowed to take cases independently.

But Qin Feng can already be the chief surgeon now!

This directly shattered his imagination!

"No more words! Qin Feng, I’ll drink to you! Thank you!"

Zou Yong, after a while, looked around blankly, grabbed a glass of wine, and stood up excitedly.

Then, gulugulu~

He downed a full glass of draft beer in one go!

"Hic~~~ Qin Feng, from today on, you are my idol, and I’ll follow you!"

"Work hard, and if you want to return to Jiangcheng after your internship, you can come to me."

Hearing this, Qin Feng raised the corner of his mouth, lifted his wine glass, and nodded.

"Hahahaha! I really didn’t expect this! Everyone used to think that you were all looks and no skills, but I didn’t know you were hiding so much."

Hearing his words, Zou Yong’s eyes lit up with excitement and laughter.

After a satisfying meal, Qin Feng sent the two of them to their accommodations and then returned to the Qiao family.

....

The next day,

in the cardiac surgery conference room at Jinling City First Hospital.

Liang Donglai, Jin Qiong, and Qin Feng sat among them, each with a document in front of them.

This was the heart donation material.

"Qin Feng, this donor is specifically designated and contacted our hospital on their own, then submitted the materials online."

Liang Donglai said, looking at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at the material in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

"This patient is named Xie Jianjun, and the donor’s name is Xie Ming. Do these two have any relationship?"

Hearing his words, Liang Donglai’s face slightly changed, showing a bitter smile.

"You’re right, these two are indeed related."

"Xie Ming is Xie Jianjun’s eldest son."

As the words fell, Qin Feng was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with even more surprise.

A son donating his heart to his father, no matter how you say it, it seems a bit off!

But in the donor and recipient section, it clearly bore the names of these two people.

"What’s going on here?"

He was somewhat puzzled, looking at the two and asking.

After all, the likelihood of a son donating a heart to his father is very low; it’s almost impossible!

This isn’t to say that such an extraordinary emotion doesn’t exist in the world but is more about human nature!

The heart equates to life, and once donated, life comes to an end.

Moreover, Xie Jianjun is only in his fifties, meaning his eldest son is at most around thirty years old.

A thirty-year-old man in the prime of life is willing to give up his life. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even if it’s his father in the hospital bed, it’s almost unrealistic!

Unless there’s something else behind it...

"It’s like this, Xie Jianjun actually doesn’t know who the heart donor is, and it’s also Xie Ming’s request to keep all the information hidden from him."

Liang Donglai sighed and began to explain,

"Twenty years ago, Xie Ming had a fallout with his family over dropping out of school and left home alone, remaining away for 20 years.

Apart from sending money home in the early years and paying for his brother’s tuition fees, until his brother completed his high school education at eighteen, he vanished almost without a trace.

In these years, Xie Ming, alone in a foreign place, did manage to make money, got married, and had a daughter, living a relatively happy life.

But 2 years ago, Xie Ming was diagnosed with brain cancer, knowing his days were numbered, so he gave all his possessions to his wife and child.

Then quietly returned to Jinling to find his brother, Xie Zhong, the second son of Xie Jianjun, and maintained contact in secret."

...

This story took a good ten-plus minutes to finish, with Liang Donglai finally wrapping it up.

Of course,

this is all recounted personally by Xie Ming, who is staying in the neurosurgery department.

Right now, besides his brother Xie Zhong, no one knows that this father and son are lying in the same hospital at the same time.

Xie Zhong often sneaks up to see his brother, after all, he knows that his brother dropped out of school to work and earn tuition and living expenses for him.

Then,

when his brother Xie Zhong informed him of their father’s condition and the surgical plan, Xie Ming lay in bed for three days and nights without sleeping.

Just as Liang Donglai was about to proceed with the ex-vivo heart surgery, a phone call interrupted him.

Immediately afterward, Liang Donglai received the decision for the directed donation of Xie Ming’s heart.

At the same time,

Xie Ming ceased all life-sustaining measures that could last half a year, voluntarily giving up treatment, and his condition began to rapidly deteriorate.

As of this morning, Xie Ming’s attending physician informed him.

Xie Ming has currently lost consciousness, is in a very dangerous condition, and could die at any moment.

He should start preparing for the heart replacement surgery!

But for some reason, also this morning, Xie Jianjun’s tumor suddenly worsened, and a blood vessel became blocked.

He was barely resuscitated and transferred to the ICU to continue his life.

The original conservative treatment that could last at least 1-2 years has suddenly become uncertain.

...

Surgery must be performed as soon as possible!

Otherwise, if Xie Jianjun’s condition continues to deteriorate, it will undoubtedly pose a significant hindrance to the surgery.

At the very least, it’s uncertain whether his body functions can hold out until the heart replacement is completed!

After hearing this story, Qin Feng let out a long sigh.

Not knowing what to say...

"What do you plan to do?"

He looked at Liang Donglai and Deputy Director Jin Qiong and asked.

"We have already decided on this surgical plan; there is no other option."

Liang Donglai took a surgical plan out of a folder and handed it to him, his expression solemn as he said,

"Currently, although Xie Jianjun’s vital signs are not very good, they shouldn’t be fatal, and it should ensure he has at least a 3-month life cycle.

After Xie Ming is confirmed dead, the heart removal and heart replacement surgeries will start simultaneously.

Since they are father and son, theoretically, there is no issue with heart matching, and we’ve already conducted all the pre-donation tests on Xie Ming. Very good!"

Qin Feng briefly browsed through the surgical plan and nodded.

This surgical plan indeed has no issues and meets all the requirements of a normal heart replacement surgery.

"So, Director Liang, what do you need from me?"

"It’s like this, I have already copied your cardiac artery surgery procedure from Jiangcheng City First Hospital."

Upon hearing these words, a sly smile appeared on Liang Donglai’s face as he clicked a remote.

The projector immediately displayed all the details of cardiac tumor excision and artery replacement suturing.

"Did you guys get a hold of this?"

Seeing this, Qin Feng was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

This video is currently being used as teaching material by Director Zhang Fan in the cardiology department, how did he get it?

"Zhang Fan is my junior and also a member of the Su Province Cardiac Surgery Association. I am the vice president, hahaha~"

Sporting a confident demeanor, Liang Donglai lifted his head with a rather self-assured smile.

...

Alright then!

So, these two old fellows are on the same side!

"Because Xie Jiandong’s heart tumor is rather outrageous, and it could rupture at any time, posing a great risk, apart from me and Deputy Director Jin, no one else in Jinling’s cardiac surgery department has experience or skills in this regard.

More importantly, time is of the essence; the quicker the replacement and suturing are completed, the better the patient’s post-operative recovery will be.

And your skills are unquestionable; even in the entire Jiuzhou, I dare say they are top-notch!"

Suddenly the smile disappeared from Liang Donglai’s face, as he looked at him with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice,

"Perhaps it is Heaven’s blessing that I met you, this extraordinary genius.

So, I would like to invite you to participate in this heart transplant, to be responsible for the heart vessel suturing!"

As the words fell,

Qin Feng did not speak, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he shook his head.

"I don’t have a license yet. At Jiangcheng City First Hospital, there wasn’t an issue, but here, even if I could go on, your hospital wouldn’t agree."

Hearing this, Liang Donglai understood the rules involved.

Without the hospital’s agreement, letting doctors from other hospitals take the lead could be a responsibility enough to have him kicked out of the medical field!

Especially in case something goes wrong, it could involve criminal liability!

But he wasn’t foolish.

Thud!

Just as he was about to speak, the meeting room door swung open.

"Director Liang, it’s not good, Xie Ming is failing!"

....

Outside the Intensive Care Unit,

a young man huddled in a corner, sobbing uncontrollably with his face buried in his hands, his tears soaking his entire cheek.

His fists were clenched tightly, turning white, even to the point where his fingernails broke the skin, he didn’t feel the pain.

In the palm of his right hand, he tightly clutched a piece of paper.

Scrawled on it was a crooked line of words.

[This heart is the only thing I can give you. — Your son, Xie Ming]
