The patient's name was Liu Fangxiong, she was originally working in a stone mill as a grinder, she had long been exposed to the silicon dioxide dust particles, and the silicon dioxide dust particles were the main culprits to cure the silicosis.
Silicosis, also known as silicosis, is a form of pneumoconiosis. Once it becomes very persistent, it will continue to develop and eventually become more severe until it dies.
Long Fei had come into contact with this disease when he was at home, so he was not unfamiliar with it. If it wasn't for the third episode, or even the fourth episode, Long Fei was absolutely confident that he would have been left with nothing to do.
Long Fei's hometown Little Cucurbita was located at the intersection between granite and limestone, so some places were granite topography while others were limestone topography. Because the granite was so hard that the locals used it to build houses and to build foundations, there were many stonemasons who specialized in quarrying, and the main ingredient of the granite was silicon dioxide! It was also the culprit that caused the silicosis!
As a result, a few local stonemasons had silicosis. After these people ran to many large hospitals and could not cure the disease, they finally came to the Long family. Long Fei's grandfather and the Dad were all focused on researching this disease and came up with a prescription, which had once cured three patients with silicosis stage one or two.
But if it was the advanced stage of silicosis, where the interstitial fibrosis was severe and the lymphatic system was changed, Long Fei's grandfather and Dad would be powerless to do anything. Thus, at that time, they hadn't been able to treat him properly, and quite a few people died in the end.
It could be said that if Long Fei's grandfather or Long Fei's father were to meet Liu Fangxiong, they would definitely be powerless. However, Long Fei was different from his father.
He knew more about the disease than his grandfather and father did. He knew that if he gave Liu Fangxiong a wash-up operation on his lungs, it would be able to alleviate and slow down his symptoms, and would also be able to buy time for himself to take the medicine. If he could let the patient live another month, Long Fei was confident that he could use his family's inherited medicine to completely cure the patient's illness.
However, if he wanted to perform lung surgery on Liu Fangxiong, he would have a hard wound at his age. He was already sixty-five, and his heart, liver, and kidney were all on worrisome conditions. He might not be able to hold up the operation table, and would not be able to wake up even after being anesthetized.
Long Fei was an outstanding doctor, of course he knew the risks of an operation, but he believed that taking this risk to perform an operation was worth it! If he succeeded, Liu Fangxiong could borrow from the heavens for a dozen more years. If he failed, he would only be able to suffer a few days less in this world.
A bet at a critical moment! A fight to the death!
This was Long Fei's personality!
He didn't realize that Liao Guanghui bringing Liu Fangxiong in front of him was completely a conspiracy! Liao Guanghui recognized Long Fei's personality! He wanted Long Fei to undergo the surgery on Liu Fangxiong, because he knew that Long Fei would never succeed! Because someone had already woven a huge net for Long Fei, and was waiting for him to crawl inside. And Liao Guanghui sending Liu Fangxiong in front of Long Fei was one of the rings in this huge net!
Although Liao Guanghui wished that he could immediately perform an operation on Liu Fangxiong and let him die on the table! However, he had always been against Long Fei doing this operation, and kept on saying bitterly: "Doctor Long, my cousin is too old, I'm afraid he won't be able to endure the operation, it's too dangerous, I think you should think twice before acting."
The reason this fellow said this was because he knew Long Fei's temperament. The more he said that this operation could not be performed, the more Long Fei would want to try.
"I will get your cousin's opinion on this matter. Of course, before the operation, I will conduct another cardiorespiratory and renal examination for Liu Fangxiong. Only if his condition permits will I inform them of my decision and seek their opinion. " Long Fei said.
"Then I'll be troubling Doctor Long. I'll go to work first. "I'll leave my cousin to you." As Liao Guanghui spoke sincerely, he took the initiative to shake Long Fei's hand twice, with the look of "Salute, shake hands, you are my good friend".
After Liao Guanghui left the raditional Chinese Medicine Department Inpatient Department, he immediately found a corner with no one around and dialed Wan Qing's number.
"Hello? Director Wan, I am Liao! Ah, Director Wan, I finally submit to you, you really know how to predict things like a god! As expected, Long Fei decided to perform an operation on Liu Fangxiong! What? Well, well, I know, I'm going to do it. I already gave the medicine to Liu Fangxiong, the second brat Liu Shaozhuang. Liu Shaozhuang is a money grubber, he would dare to do anything just for money! Don't worry Director Wan, there won't be a problem. "
Liao Guanghui nodded as he ended his conversation with Wan Qing, and then muttered to himself while grinning: "Hmph, Long Fei, this time, I don't believe I won't be able to kill you! You idiot, even if you are as good as a ghost, you still have to drink father's water! Do you really think that Liu Fangxiong is my cousin? "
So it turned out that Liu Fangxiong and Liao Guanghui were not cousins at all. Liu Fangxiong had two sons, the eldest was the one who accompanied Liu Fangxiong here, the second was a hoodlum under Wan Qing, the one named Liu Shaozhuang. Liu Fangxiong had been suffering from silicosis for many years, but in order to help Liu Fangxiong maintain his good mood, Liu Shaokang concealed his illness from the Dad. He only told him that he got bronchitis and then, because the medical fees were insufficient, decided to treat him conservatively. Until he passed out from suffocation last week, only then did Liu Shaokang send his father to the hospital attached to the Dragon City Hospital Medical University.
However, after staying there for a week, Liu Shaokang spent all the medical fees he had prepared once again, and the doctor advised Liu Shaokang to bring his father home. His father could give him anything he wanted to eat, and it would be useless if he continued with his treatment.
Liu Shaokang was helpless as he brought his father home with tears in his eyes.
During the entire process of Liu Shaoxiong's treatment, not only did this delinquent Liu Shaozhuang not pay a single cent, he didn't even pay a single visit to the hospital to see his father!
In this bastard's eyes, his father was already more or less dead than alive. However, when this fellow found out that Wan Qing was going to deal with Long Fei, he immediately thought of his father and told Wan Qing, Isn't Long Fei a genius doctor? He would just send his father to Long Fei for treatment. After all, his father was someone who was about to die, so when his father died in Long Fei's hands, he would go and mess with Long Fei and send him to jail!
Liu Shaozhuang was just a brute. Although he had thought of this idea, he could not come up with any viable plans, but after hearing this idea, Wan Qing got excited. In the end, he made a series of plans and gave it to Liao Guanghui to help him carry it out. At the same time, Wan Qing gave Liu Shaozhuang two hundred thousand gold, as Liu Shaoxiong's medical expenses!
Liu Fangxiong was also happy that his second son, who was never good at anything, actually gave him so much money to treat his illness. Thus, following Liu Shaozhuang's request, he sent his father to the Dragon City Hospital, and then, had bring them to Long Fei according to the plan.
Liu Shaozhuang told his brother that Liao Guanghui was his girlfriend's uncle, so Liu Shaokang also called him uncle, and the relationship between Liu Fangxiong and him became that of a cousin.
Of course, Long Fei did not know about the chaotic situation that was happening inside, even if he knew, he would still persevere on with his Therapeutic Method.
Long Fei gave Liu Fangxiong a series of checklists before the operation started. He had the nurse take Liu Fangxiong to do the checkups for him and then begin preparing the operation plan.
After the results of the examination were out, Long Fei saw that the CT scan of Liu Fangxiong's lungs was already worse than the video that was taken at the affiliated hospital of the Medical University. This made Long Fei more inclined to immediately perform surgery on Liu Shaoxiong.
Fortunately, Liu Shaoxiong's liver and kidney functions were not bad, and the electrocardiogram (ECG) was a little abnormal, but Long Fei did not take it to heart. As a senior surgeon, he knew that the possibility of a minor cardiac problem during surgery was small. Even if he really had symptoms of an attack during the operation, Long Fei was confident in minimizing the risk.
After Long Fei made up his mind, he told the two sons of Liu Fangxiong about the risks of the operation and the prognosis after it was successful.
"Move!" Of course! If the operation was successful, Dad could live another ten years! Don't you think so, brother? " Long Fei had just voiced his opinion, when Liu Shaozhuang impatiently said this.
Liu Shaozhuang was around 30 years old, the hair on his forehead had been shaved and shiny, and there was a foot long braid on the back of his head. If the braids were not shorter, and his clothes were more fashionable, he would be like a person from Qing Dynasty.
This was an era that paid attention to personality. Long Fei was also an open-minded young man, he did not have any opinions towards him just because of Liu Shaozhuang's Qing Dynasty hairstyle.
"But, if the operation fails, father's life will be lost …" The boss Liu Shaokang stuttered.
"Ah, my dear brother, are you stupid? The doctor said that if the father did not perform surgery, he could only live for seven to eight days. If the father carried out surgery, then coupled with the treatment given by the Doctor Long, he would be able to live for another ten years once he recovers. If he didn't perform the surgery after betting for more than ten years, what was the difference between watching his old man die for nothing? Besides, I've never been filial to my father since I was a child, and I even wanted to be filial to him! Anyway, I spent money on the operation, so I don't need you to pay for it. Why did you stop me? " Liu Shaozhuang said.
Wan Qing had already told him, as long as he could cooperate with Wan Qing to finish this task, Wan Qing would give him at least five hundred thousand gold! Liu Shaozhuang really couldn't take the five hundred thousand right now!
Liu Shaokang was moved by his younger brother's words, he wiped his big sweaty hands on his pants twice and said: "It is not a matter of money. Doctor Long, tell me, how high is the success rate in this operation? If the success rate is not high, we'd rather not have this operation. "
