Chapter 137: Begging Someone Is Humiliating!
The corridor outside the operating room was dimly lit!
Lu Cheng immediately took out his mobile phone and started searching for Director Lin Qianlong’s telephone number.
Someone happened to pass by: “Xiao Lu, how is your situation? Director Lin said that once the tendon treatment in the emergency operating room is finished, he wants you to go to the surgical operating room.”
The speaker was Zeng Huanqi, who was sent by Lin Qianlong to pick up Lu Cheng, fearing that Lu Cheng might be delayed somewhere.
“Brother Zeng, I’m almost done here. Tian Zhuang and Du Daihua are in operating rooms 1, 2, and 3, and there’s nothing special.”
After speaking, Lu Cheng added to Zeng Huanqi: “Brother Zeng, could you please check on Brother Zhang in operating room 2 for me and see what they are doing?”
“Don’t cause any trouble.”
Zeng Huanqi immediately understood Lu Cheng’s meaning: “Don’t worry, Zhang Tiesheng will definitely handle it.”
While speaking, Lu Cheng found Lin Qianlong’s number, and after connecting, he reported immediately: “Director Lin, I cannot perform the tendon revision surgery in emergency operating room 4. Please notify Director Peng Haibo of Orthopedics to arrange for someone to take over?”
The phone was likely answered by a nurse, and the speakerphone was on, so Lu Cheng heard a lot of other noise.
“A little to the left.”
“Exploiting…”
“Vascular clamp, a bit higher…” Chen Song and other voices Lu Cheng didn’t recognize sounded in sequence.
Lin Qianlong shouted: “What tendon revision surgery? There’s no tendon revision in this emergency operating room!”
“Director Lin, please ask Director Peng to inquire with Tian Hongjian and Peng Kun from Orthopedics. When I arrived, they left the tendon revision surgery for me.”
“The difficulty of tendon revision surgery is several or even ten times that of primary tendon rupture suturing. My ability is limited, and I cannot handle it.” Lu Cheng replied naturally, without anger.
Not being able to handle something is not particularly shameful!
Lin Qianlong immediately said: “Are they crazy? Didn’t President Zeng appoint you as the technical supervisor for tendon surgery?”
“They performed tendon suturing without your assessment? Lu Cheng, you will be held responsible for this statement!”
Lu Cheng said: “I will be responsible for my words! However, whether I am the supervisor or not is still debatable. I now feel that President Zeng has overestimated me.”
“I also took pictures.”
Lin Qianlong replied: “Okay, I will call Peng Haibo from Orthopedics immediately.”
After Lu Cheng hung up, he thought about it, he still couldn’t handle primary suturing failure, or a flexor tendon that had been cut.
Perhaps his ability was sufficient, but his cognition was not. Lu Cheng had never encountered revision surgery before, so he could only leave it to Professor Tong Yuan’an.
Afterward, Lu Cheng quickly ran towards the surgical operating room, trying to participate in the emergency rescue work there as quickly as possible.
Midway through his run, Lu Cheng’s phone rang; it was Peng Haibo.
“Lu Cheng? What’s going on with you? Didn’t President Zeng assign you to be in charge of tendon suturing? What do you mean by pushing it to our Orthopedics?” Peng Haibo immediately began questioning him.
Lu Cheng said: “Director Peng, I can be responsible for primary tendon suturing, but I cannot do revisions!”
“Director Peng, you wouldn’t want me to reveal the truth, would you? It would make things awkward for everyone.”
Peng Haibo was silent for a moment: “Can you do me a favor?”
Based on Peng Haibo’s understanding of Peng Kun, he estimated that Peng Kun had acted impulsively and caused problems.
Peng Kun thought Lu Cheng could help clean up, but in reality, the nature of the surgery had changed.
However, Peng Haibo did not want to bother Tong Yuan’an, as it would make Tong Yuan’an think that Peng Kun had integrity issues.
“Director Peng, this isn’t a matter of helping. It’s genuinely that I don’t know how to do it. I’ve never done it before, and no one has taught me how to do it!”
“You also know I’m not someone who would abandon a patient. It’s not my character.”
“But if I don’t know how, I don’t know how! So, I cannot help with this favor.” Lu Cheng replied directly, without significant anger.
Lu Cheng was only angry at Peng Kun’s audacity, not believing Peng Kun was trying to harm him by taking advantage of President Zeng appointing him as the supervisor for tendon suturing.
What time is it now?
In an emergency rescue, if Peng Kun was doing this, he wouldn’t even know how he died, and he intentionally put himself in such a situation?
His setup was too crude.
“You should ask Professor Tong. He should have the experience,” Lu Cheng said.
Peng Haibo’s tone conveyed seven parts disbelief. He thought Lu Cheng was likely deliberately kicking him while he was down, wanting to nail Peng Kun for his mistakes: “Really?”
“I genuinely don’t know how to do revision surgery! I swear!” Lu Cheng replied.
“Director Peng, I’m almost at the surgical operating room, and Director Lin called me for something.” Lu Cheng proactively ended the call.
In the operating room, Peng Haibo’s eyes momentarily turned somewhat somber, but this somberness flashed and disappeared.
Regardless, he still had to find a way to cover for Peng Kun.
Peng Haibo glanced at the operating table again: “I’m going out for a bit.”
Xiang Kuihua nodded: “Director Peng, we’re almost done here. Lu Cheng can take a look at the rest.”
…
Five minutes later, Tong Yuan’an’s scolding erupted. He turned and angrily asked: “Director Peng, what do you take me for? What do you take this emergency surgery for?”
After speaking, Tong Yuan’an turned directly, grabbed a needle holder, and slammed it fiercely onto the ground: “Am I your slave?”
“What the hell is this?”
There were many emergency patients, including finger replantation. It was understandable that Peng Haibo called him to work overtime in the early morning for the patient’s condition.
After all, they were all doctors, and it was natural to ask for help when encountering a patient that couldn’t be managed.
But what was this now?
Peng Kun knew he couldn’t perform the modified Tang method, yet he still attempted it? He directly cut the tendon and then had to do a revision temporarily????
Should I just be your father and son’s slave?
“Professor Tong, I apologize. Peng Kun is young and foolish, and he was also in a hurry. I apologize on his behalf.” Peng Haibo could only beg.
If this matter was not handled properly, Peng Kun could face a warning at best, and at worst, a major demerit and be barred from promotion for several years.
“The patient is still on the operating table. I hope Professor Tong will overlook his actions for the patient’s sake and not hold it against him for now.”
“After this is over, I will deal with him personally!”
Tong Yuan’an said: “Deal with him my ass!”
“If he continues to act like this, I’ll have to apply for a departmental transfer next month.”
“Professor Tong?” Peng Haibo’s expression turned grim, and he had already mentally cursed Peng Kun to death.
“Just wait!”
“I haven’t even finished the finger replantation yet, so I don’t have time right now.” Tong Yuan’an returned to the operating table and picked up a needle holder again.
He was not angry at Peng Haibo asking him to perform surgery again, but rather furious that Peng Kun completely disregarded the patient.
“What about Xiao Lu?” Peng Haibo tentatively asked.
“Anything that’s broken falls under the scope of revision surgery. Xiao Lu hasn’t learned it, so he can’t do it.”
“Revision surgery is a common condition our department handles. We don’t deal with ordinary tendon ruptures.”
Tong Yuan’an said: “Tell them to wait. I absolutely cannot get away from here right now!”
“First come, first served.”
“Just messing around foolishly…” Tong Yuan’an was also not a good-tempered person and was truly infuriated.
There were so many things to be busy with here, and yet someone had the audacity to create trouble without self-awareness.
Although Peng Haibo’s expression was unpleasant, hearing that Tong Yuan’an had agreed, he could only force a smile and endure.
Begging for favors was this difficult and demeaning.
