Episode 24 recap: Feng Xuhui received a free bionic prosthetic limb.
When Su Yun and others learned that Feng Xuhui's condition was serious, they hurried over. Su Yun wondered why Feng Xuhui's condition had become so severe since he had no obvious injuries. The people around them told them that Feng Xuhui had a high fever that wouldn't go down and his blood pressure was continuously dropping, and he might have a localized cell infection. Zheng Ren took a look at the wound and suspected sepsis, so he immediately had them do a blood routine and protein test.
Feng Xuhui's lab tests were already done, and they just needed to wait for the results. If it was truly a bacterial infection causing sepsis, an amputation was necessary immediately. When Su Yun heard this, he hurried to find the doctor. Zheng Ren also said they could try an intervention first to try to minimize the amputation range.
Su Yun didn't quite understand, since Feng Xuhui's injury was in the thigh, but the intervention they were talking about was below the waist and knee joint. It would be difficult to guarantee success since the injured area was different.
Zheng Ren insisted on preserving as much as possible. He knew Feng Xuhui well and knew he liked playing basketball, so he wanted to try to save his leg so Feng Xuhui could still do the things he enjoyed. After hearing this, Su Yun fell silent. The test results showed Feng Xuhui had high white blood cell count, indicating sepsis.
Zheng Ren was determined to perform this one procedure for Feng Xuhui. Xie Yi Ren saw on the projection that all the blood vessels below Feng Xuhui's calf were blocked, so it seemed like amputation was the only option. After a moment of hesitation, Zheng Ren decided to do the thrombectomy surgery.
Sun Zeli and Liu Xuzhi came, knowing this surgery was very difficult, time-consuming, and Zheng Ren might not be able to handle it. After reviewing it, Sun the doctor felt the thrombectomy success rate was extremely low, almost impossible. Su Yun wanted to immediately amputate, but the director said that would cause massive bleeding.
While they were arguing, Xie Yi Ren told everyone the blood clot had been removed. The director knew about the kind of prosthetic they were talking about, but the price was quite high, beyond what an ordinary person could afford.
Xie Yi Ren said he could try to figure out a solution. Su Yun told Xie Yi Ren they would need at least 300 million.
Xie Yi Ren came to visit Xie Ning and saw that her father had lost weight, which made her very concerned. She wanted her father to provide some bionic prosthetic limbs. She expressed that Chen Miao had saved her life, and she also liked surgery. She discovered that the things her father was doing also seemed to have saved many people, so Xie Yi Ren decided to go back with her father, so that more people could live well.
Saving people sometimes requires help inside the hospital, and sometimes people outside the hospital also help patients. Xie Yi Ren called her father to tell Zheng Ren that they had obtained investment. Xie Ning said he was a businessman and hoped that Zheng Ren and the others would not let him down. Zheng Ren came to see Xie Ning to express his gratitude. He proposed to have the surgery livestreamed, but said he needed to prepare for it first.
Xie Ning's original intention was also to provide a place for doctors in medically underserved areas to learn. Zheng Ren agreed. Feng Xuehui woke up and found that his leg was no longer in pain, but it had been amputated. He was not really sad, feeling that he had helped the disaster victims, and when he heard that free bionic prosthetic limbs were available, he pretended to be very happy and told Zheng Ren and the others that he considered himself fortunate, and calmly advised them not to worry too much about him.
After Zheng Ren and Su Yun left, Feng Xuehui looked at the amputated leg for a while before reacting and crying silently. The patients affected by the disaster were successfully settled. Liu Xuzhi asked Zheng Ren and the others to attend the memorial service before leaving. Su Yun felt envious of Zheng Ren, thinking that the patients had saved them rather than the other way around. He was also very grateful for Zheng Ren's help and encouragement over the years. Zheng Ren firmly grasped Su Yun's shoulders and said that Su Yun was worthy.
Reporters interviewed the medical staff. He Qian heard his daughter's interview and his wife's words, and felt that everything was worth it and gained more strength. Lin Ge was also touched and happy to see the changes in Lin Yuan. Feng Xuehui felt that he had the courage to live after seeing Lin Yuan.
Everyone came to attend the memorial service and kept the day in their hearts. Kong Yumin wanted to invite Zheng Ren, but Zheng Ren carefully declined after thinking about it. When Zheng Ren and Su Yun left, they saw the patients waving goodbye to them, and Su Yun thought he saw Bai Yang waving to him as well.
All the staff at Haicheng Hospital were also there to welcome Zheng Ren and the others back. Su Li knew that Su Yun could use the surgical knife and was happy for him.
