Qin Jiang’s words had the netizens in the livestream exclaiming in shock.
“Just now, I carefully looked at the position where this knife is inserted. This old man is incredibly lucky! The knife perfectly avoided all the vital spots!”
“It’s just a minor, potentially fatal injury. Nothing worth mentioning.”
“Running five kilometers every day with a knife in your head… Old man, you know whether you’ve activated some cheat code or not.”
“I’m a chef. It’s perfectly reasonable to bring a knife for a run, right?”
“This is my lifelong bonded spiritual weapon, nourished within my body since childhood. It’s about to develop a spirit soon. What’s the problem?”
If this kind of thing happened to anyone else, they would probably be scared to death long ago.
But after hearing it, Tang Weimin just smiled slightly, seemingly not taking the matter seriously at all.
It was precisely because of Tang Weimin’s optimistic and calm attitude that the netizens were frantically posting funny comments in the livestream chat.
Tang Ping wasn’t as optimistic as the netizens, after all, this was his father.
Tang Ping asked very nervously, “Doctor Qin, then what should be done about my dad’s current condition? Can it be cured?”
Qin Jiang nodded.
“The only way is to perform surgery to remove the knife from his head.”
“If you trust me, the surgery can be done here with me.”
As soon as Qin Jiang said this, the netizens exploded.
“Are you kidding? Isn’t Qin Jiang a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor? Can he perform this kind of cranial surgery?”
“You’re really underestimating TCM. How did Hua Tuo perform surgeries back then? There weren’t sterile operating rooms then.”
“Brother, you said it yourself, that was Hua Tuo. Back then, they simply didn’t have the conditions for sterile operating rooms, not that they didn’t need them.”
“I think Dr. Qin might be heading for a fail. Cranial surgery involves multiple specialized disciplines. It’s a matter of life and death; you can’t just casually say you’ll operate.”
Not only did the netizens distrust Qin Jiang, but even Tang Ping was very hesitant.
“Doctor Qin, maybe I should still take him to a major hospital for the surgery. It seems like it might be safer at a big hospital.”
Tang Ping’s words were already very tactful.
He was, after all, a highly educated person and knew that this kind of surgery involving the head couldn’t possibly be performed by one person alone.
Qin Jiang didn’t try to persuade him either, he just said one sentence.
“Then don’t go through the registration process for the old man. Call for an ambulance directly, explain his current condition, and have them bring a head fixation frame.”
Tang Ping looked puzzled.
“Doctor Qin, you mean send him for emergency treatment directly?”
“That’s right,” Qin Jiang said with a serious expression. “Wasn’t what I said just now clear enough?”
“This blade in the old man’s head is already rotten and rusty. Moreover, its position is no longer where it was four years ago.”
“In this situation, if the old man simply trips and falls, the blade could sever important nerves or blood vessels. In a more serious case, it could cause instant death.”
“So, if you want to send him to another hospital, it definitely has to be handled as an emergency case. You also need to explain this special situation to them in advance so they can prepare early.”
Qin Jiang’s words made Tang Ping realize once again how serious Tang Weimin’s condition was.
He might seem perfectly fine right now.
But once something happens, he could be down in an instant, and there’s no guarantee he could be saved immediately.
Thinking of this, Tang Ping’s face turned pale. He held his phone, unsure of what to do.
Just then, Tang Weimin suddenly said with a smile, “Let’s not go through all that trouble. Let’s have the surgery right here with Doctor Qin. I trust Doctor Qin.”
“Doctor Qin, feel free to proceed boldly. Even if I die, I won’t blame you.”
Tang Weimin had an open and straightforward disposition and was very accepting.
As long as Qin Jiang was qualified to perform the surgery on him, then go ahead and do it.
Back on the battlefield when they had no military doctors, didn’t they just stuff their own intestines back into their bellies?
There’s no need to be so fussy.
Qin Jiang explained with a smile, “Old man, this matter isn’t up to you. Your family needs to agree.”
“Once the family signs the consent form, then I can perform the surgery for you.”
Coincidentally, Zhu Hong had just finished her phone call. After listening for a while, she also fell silent.
After all, the environment of this TCM clinic really didn’t look like a place for major surgery.
But given Tang Weimin’s physical condition, every extra step he took now was a risk.
“Mom, where do you think Dad should have the surgery?”
Tang Ping looked at the old lady.
The old lady didn’t hesitate and blurted out.
“Listen to your dad.”
Tang Ping: “…”
He shouldn’t have asked.
For decades, his mother had always listened to Tang Weimin.
Tang Ping gritted his teeth.
“Alright, then we’ll listen to Dad.”
“Doctor Qin, I’m entrusting my dad to you. When do you think we can start the surgery? I’ll ask my boss for leave in advance.”
“Right now works.”
Qin Jiang’s one sentence left Tang Ping utterly stunned.
“Huh? Right now works?”
“Don’t you need to prepare?”
Although Tang Ping wasn’t professionally trained in medicine, he knew that major surgeries like this usually required expert consultations, preoperative preparations, and all sorts of other things.
Some larger hospitals even require scheduling operating rooms and coordinating various doctors’ schedules.
So, they usually set a surgery date first, and then proceed later.
Qin Jiang gave Tang Ping a look.
“I already said your dad’s condition is dangerous. Of course, the sooner, the better.”
“Wait for me a moment. I’ll go print a ‘Surgical Consent Form’.”
Qin Jiang got up and went to his office.
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Tang Ping immediately felt unsure.
Did Qin Jiang not even have the most basic things like a ‘Surgical Consent Form’ prepared?
Damn!
He was feeling really nervous now!
Zhu Hong also whispered beside him, “Honey, check if this Doctor Qin is even qualified to perform surgery.”
Tang Ping said with a bitter smile, “I already checked. He is qualified to perform surgery, but he doesn’t have a surgical team.”
Zhu Hong’s eyes widened.
“That won’t do. Wouldn’t entrusting Dad to him be playing with his life?”
Tang Ping also really wanted to take Tang Weimin to a major hospital, but Qin Jiang’s medical skills were indeed impeccable.
Otherwise, their family of five wouldn’t have specifically come to see him.
Since Qin Jiang had said that moving Tang Weimin now was dangerous, Tang Ping didn’t dare take the risk.
Gritting his teeth, Tang Ping said, “He’s a doctor. Since he dares to perform this surgery, he probably has confidence in his mind.”
“Given Dad’s condition, I really don’t dare let him move around unnecessarily.”
Soon, Qin Jiang returned with a freshly printed ‘Surgical Consent Form’.
“Take a look at the contents. If there are no issues, sign it. Once signed, I can start the surgery immediately.”
Tang Ping and his wife read every word carefully, ensuring that in case of a medical accident, the primary responsible party would be Qin Jiang.
And right at this moment, Qin Jiang’s livestream also caught the attention of the Jincheng Medical Authority.
“Director, look at this TCM doctor named Qin Jiang. He’s actually about to perform a surgical procedure on someone!”
Director Huang Guo raised his eyebrows, instantly alert.
“What did you just say? A TCM doctor is going to perform surgery? This is outrageous!”
“Send me his information immediately. Call him right now and order him to stop the surgery!”
