Rebirth in 1987: Becoming a Surgical Saint from a County Hospital

In the spring of 1987, Li Zheng, a world-class surgical titan, unexpectedly reborn as a useless doctor at Guang'an County People's Hospital, was publicly announced to be dismissed by the de...

Is there an alternative to Chapter 49?

"No, it's not a cobra!" Li Zheng shouted.

"What, no? What kind of snake is that?" Everyone was happy. If it wasn't a cobra, the venom of other snakes would definitely not be that high.

"King Cobra!"

"Buzz!"

Everyone just felt their scalp tingling.

Just the name alone is enough to scare people to the point of going weak in the knees.

The boy was bitten and is in serious danger.

"We don't have any serum!" Zhu Haiping said anxiously. They didn't even have serum for cobras, let alone king cobras.

When the child's mother heard this, she immediately pleaded loudly, "Doctor, please, please save the child, he is so young!"

He cried and begged, bending his knees and about to kneel down.

Li Zheng quickly pulled her up.

The child's father ran over and stomped on the king cobra's body. Chen Dayong pulled him away and said, "It's no use stepping on the snake. We have to save people first!"

The father also calmed down, but was still at a loss.

Li Zheng took off his gloves, put them back on, and quickly gave an order: "Haiping, go to the pharmacy and urgently call for all the anti-bungal snake serum!"

Zhu Haiping ran out without any hesitation.

"Brother, is this okay? It's not the same kind of snake!" Chen Dayong asked in a low voice.

Li Zheng nodded and said, "King cobra and Bungarus krait mainly have neurotoxins, which can neutralize each other, but King cobra also has cardiotoxins, which Bungarus krait serum cannot neutralize."

"Ah, what should we do then?" Chen Dayong asked worriedly.

"You can use anti-cobra venom serum, the ingredients are similar!"

Li Zheng remembered that in his previous life, hospitals in the southwest and south used anti-venom serum from two types of snakes to treat king cobra bites, and the effect was quite good.

After saying that, Li Zheng picked up the boy's hand and began to squeeze the wound on the back of his hand, squeezing out as much blood as possible.

He then noticed a hemp rope tied around his wrist and asked, "How long has it been tied there?"

The child's father quickly replied, "More than an hour!"

Li Zheng quickly untied the hemp rope. Tying it like this could slow the spread of the toxin, but it couldn't completely stop it. Over time, it would cause necrosis in the hand.

You must relax for 2 minutes every half hour.

"Brother, does our hospital have cobra serum?" Chen Dayong pried open a bottle of saline solution and poured it on the wound.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "No, there should be some in the city. Go and call and ask. If they don't have any, go to the provincial government!"

After Chen Dayong rinsed one bottle, he pried open another one and handed it to Li Zheng, then went out to make a phone call.

Over there, Lin Xiaomei had already established an intravenous access and started to quickly replenish fluids, because the boy's blood pressure had begun to drop and the volume had to be expanded to raise the blood pressure.

Li Zheng used two large syringes, removed the needles, aimed them at the wound, and began to suck out as much as he could.

At the same time, explain the patient's condition to the family and tell them that the risk is very high, but as long as they try their best, there is still hope. At least they can use the coral snake antivenom serum to detoxify some of the poison. Even if they have to go to the provincial capital, it should still be in time.

The boy's parents said they would save their child no matter what the cost.

Li Zheng also asked the nurse to contact the 120 driver.

Soon, Zhu Haiping ran back panting, holding two ampoules in his hands.

"How many doses are there in total?" Li Zheng asked.

"Two ampoules, 5000 units each, both units." Zhu Haiping replied quickly.

"Xiaomei, dilute one bottle with 100ml of normal saline and draw 1ml for a skin test," Li Zheng instructed. Any serum from a different source could carry the risk of allergic reactions. If an allergic reaction occurs, a desensitization injection should be used. While this method doesn't completely prevent allergies, the risk of death from venom is still much lower. Therefore, the serum must be injected regardless!

"Is ten thousand units enough?" Zhu Haiping asked as he handed the serum to Lin Xiaomei.

Lin Xiaomei quickly prepared the medicine.

Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's basically enough. The key is the cobra antivenom, which requires at least 20,000 units."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dayong called and came back.

"What's the situation? Is there anyone in the city?" Zhu Haiping asked quickly.

Chen Dayong nodded vigorously, panting, "Yes, but...but they said that the anti-cobra serum...is not suitable for king cobras. They...told us to...transfer the patient directly to the provincial capital!"

Chen Dayong's words instantly extinguished everyone's hope that had just been ignited.

Everyone was at a loss and looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Xiaomei, inject the snake serum first and prepare the oxygen bag. Zhang Lei, prepare the anesthesia box and follow me to the city!"

Everyone was stunned. They were not allowed to go to the city, so were they going to be forced to receive treatment?

"Brother, why don't we go directly to the provincial capital? They probably won't pay any attention to us in the city!" Chen Dayong said unconfidently. After all, that was his old employer, and he and Li Zheng were almost kicked out.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Going to the provincial capital is still too risky. Even the best hospitals may not have King Cobra serum. The city has alternative serum, and the overall rescue level of the First City Hospital is also sufficient, so we must go to the city!"

"But……"

"It's okay, I'll let them rescue him!" Li Zheng said in a deep voice, without a trace of fear or shrinking on his face.

Chen Dayong was encouraged and nodded vigorously, saying, "Brother, let's go together. If those guys refuse to save him, I'll destroy their hospital!"

"Smash their hospital!" Zhang Lei seemed to be energized, clenching his fists, and the rebellious nature in his body seemed to be activated.

Even Zhu Haiping reacted and wanted to go with them, but he knew he had to stay on duty.
