Chapter 62 She is still so young “Okay, I will immediately…
"Okay, I'll be right there." Chen Song stood up, hung up the phone, and quickly cleared the plates. "Come over as soon as you finish eating. I'll go first."
The two men noticed something was wrong and immediately became serious, nodding at Chen Song.
Ye Wenzhou chewed quickly and swallowed: "Are you in the emergency room?"
"No, but the situation is not good. Zhou Shudie is here." Chen Song picked up the dinner tray, stepped out of his seat and hurried out.
Ye Wenzhou paused, his expression growing serious. Dong Jingming looked at him. "What's wrong? That name sounds familiar."
Ye Wenzhou had finished dinner later than the others, so he didn't have time to explain. He casually took a few bites of his food and began to clear the plates. Dong Jingming, who had already finished most of his meal, joined him in clearing the table. As he pondered, he suddenly remembered Zhou Shudie's case, and his expression grew serious.
"I remember now. Was it the little girl that Doctor Chen operated on not long after we started working?" Dong Jingming quickly packed up the dishes and ran after Ye Wenzhou.
Ye Wenzhou still had a mouthful of food in his mouth and was a little out of breath from running. He replied muffledly, "Hmm!"
At noon, the flow of people was heavy, and a group of people gathered at the elevator door, waiting for the lift. Chen Song took a look from a distance and then changed direction and ran for the manual passage. Their department was on the seventh floor, which was fine; running was definitely faster than waiting for the elevator. If they waited here, they didn't know how many times they would have to wait before they could squeeze in.
By the time Chen Song reached the fifth floor, his strength was wearing thin, his calves limp and weak. He gritted his teeth, leaning against the handrails and pushing himself up, finally reaching the seventh floor. He gasped for breath. A crowd of people gathered in the corridor, a group of medical staff scrambling anxiously, shouting and yelling incessantly. Chen Song hurriedly clung to the wall and continued.
"Doctor Chen is here!"
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound and hurriedly made way for Chen Song.
"Chen Song, you're here." Ding Hongwen motioned him over.
Ding Hongwen is a doctor in the same department. Zhou Shudie's family members were gathered around him. The girl's mother, Zhou Ningxia, immediately stepped forward when she saw Chen Song. "Doctor Chen, please come and see Xiaodie. What's wrong with her leg? Didn't they say it was all healed? Why is it like this again?"
Zhou Ningxia's face was covered in tears. Chen Song's chest was still heaving violently. He gasped to comfort her, "Let me take a look, let me take a look. Don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious? Doctor Chen!"
The nurse next to her quickly pulled her aside and said, "Ms. Zhou, we understand how you feel. Please calm down and let the doctor examine you first. Don't miss the critical time."
Zhou Ningxia's excitement finally subsided. She sobbed and murmured bitterly, "Why is it like this again? Why is it like this again? What should I do with my Xiaodie..."
Chen Song's calf was weak and accidentally tilted. His face twisted for a moment, but he endured the pain and regained his composure as he walked forward.
"Are you okay?" Ding Hongwen asked him.
Chen Song shook his head and immediately checked Zhou Shudie's condition. Zhou Shudie whimpered in pain, her frail body curled up on the hospital bed, and she kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts."
"When did she start to behave like this?" Chen Song asked Zhou Ningxia with a sidelong glance.
Zhou Ningxia immediately stepped forward and said, "It just happened suddenly today."
Ding Hongwen and Chen Song exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Chen Song understood what he meant: "Have you filmed yet?"
"I took the photo. The nurse is already taking it."
"Um."
Chen Song stepped forward and asked Zhou Shudie: "Where does it hurt? Is it your leg?"
Zhou Shudie rolled around on the hospital bed, holding back tears for a while before saying, "My knees...my knees, my calves...it hurts everywhere. It hurts so much...help me...help me...Doctor Chen."
"Okay, don't be afraid, I'll save you." Chen Song leaned over to her and said, "Just bear with it for a moment. I'll press a few spots. If it hurts, nod your head. If it doesn't hurt, shake your head."
Zhou Shudie cried and struggled: "It hurts, please don't."
Chen Song touched her head, tried to calm his breath, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine after the examination. There are so many doctors here, don't be afraid."
Zhou Shudie hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Chen Song gently rubbed her knees. She struggled violently and screamed, "It hurts! It hurts! Ahhhh!"
The girl's heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the corridor on the seventh floor, and everyone who heard it trembled in their hearts.
Zhou Ningxia rushed forward to stop Chen Song: "Don't press it anymore! Don't press it anymore!"
Zhou Ningxia pushed Chen Song away and hugged Zhou Shudie tightly. Zhou Shudie wanted to grab a lifeline and cried for mercy, "Mom, I want to go home, I want to go home."
Chen Song was pushed back two steps, and his ankle suddenly felt a burning pain, which made him gasp and his lips gradually faded.
Ding Hongwen signaled the nurse to pull the girl away. The nurse quickly stepped forward, persuading and pulling her away: "Ms. Zhou, please cooperate with the doctor's examination. Your daughter's condition is already very serious. If you delay any further, it will get worse!"
Ding Hongwen walked around the bed to Chen Song's side and glanced at his foot: "Are you okay? Did you twist it?"
Chen Song shook his head, took one step forward and one step back, and comforted Zhou Shudie: "It will be soon, just check a few more places."
Zhou Ningxia was helpless and could only coax Zhou Shudie: "Be good, Xiaodie, it will be fine after Doctor Chen takes a look at it. Otherwise, it will never heal. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one."
Zhou Shudie cried and shook her head. Chen Song touched her hair softly and said, "Be good, it will be fine soon."
Chen Song tried to lower the force as much as possible, but Zhou Shudie was still screaming and struggling. Chen Song examined her despite the screams that were tearing her eardrums. He pressed several places with gritted teeth, and Zhou Shudie said it hurt one by one.
The situation was not optimistic. Zhou Ningxia rushed forward and hugged Zhou Shudie to comfort her after Chen Song finished the examination. However, Zhou Shudie resisted her embrace fiercely and kept begging: "Don't touch me... Don't touch me! It hurts! It hurts!"
Chen Song asked, "Is the report not out yet?"
Ding Hongwen turned to the nurse and said, "Go and urge them!"
The nurse rushed out the door.
Ding Hongwen asked Chen Song, "What's the situation? What do you think?"
Zhou Ningxia looked at Chen Song with tears in her eyes. "How is it? Doctor Chen? What happened to Xiaodie? Why did she become like this all of a sudden?"
Chen Song's expression grew increasingly serious. After a moment's silence, he said, "We have to wait until the report comes out."
Judging from Zhou Shudie's current situation, everything points to the worst case scenario, but Chen Song still prays in his heart that there is still room for improvement.
Ding Hongwen could read the darkness in Chen Song's eyes. He also remained silent for a moment, then looked at Zhou Ningxia: "Are you sure this suddenly started today? Did you have these symptoms in the past few days?"
Zhou Ningxia shook her head: "No! It's always been fine! Right, Xiaodie? It was fine the past two days, wasn't it?"
Zhou Shudie stopped crying, hiccuped, and hid in Zhou Ningxia's arms without saying anything. "Mom, am I not already well? Why? Why is this happening again?"
As she spoke, she began to sob in pain again: "It hurts so much..."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's okay. It will be fine." Zhou Ningxia coaxed her softly.
Ding Hongwen looked at the mother and daughter carefully for a moment, then looked at Chen Song and hesitated to speak. Just as he was about to speak, a nurse ran in from outside.
"Here it comes, the report card!"
Everyone's heart was in their throat, and they held their breath. You could hear a pin drop in the ward. Chen Song quickly checked the report, and Ding Hongwen also took a closer look.
Chen Song's heart sank to the bottom. With a cold face, he turned to the nurse and said, "Prepare for surgery immediately! Move quickly!"
"Okay!" The nurses rushed out.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ningxia suddenly became anxious. "Doctor Chen? What surgery do you want?"
Chen Song was heartbroken, but the situation didn't allow him to grieve too much. He said solemnly, "Xiao Die's mother, you should prepare yourself mentally. I told you when I first had the prosthetic reconstruction..."
Zhou Ningxia's eyes widened, she clutched Chen Song's arm tightly, and said fiercely, "Impossible! Impossible! Why! Didn't you say the operation was a success? Why is this happening? Why?"
Zhou Shudie stared blankly at Zhou Ningxia's terrifying face, trembling with fear: "Mom? ...What's wrong?"
Zhou Ningxia wanted to get a negative answer from Chen Song: "Is it a mistake? Is it a misdiagnosis? Let's check again. No, it's not possible. Didn't they say you were a very good doctor in the hospital? How did you suddenly get infected? It must be a misdiagnosis!"
Zhou Ningxia shook off Chen Song's hand and snatched the report from his hand. She scrutinized it, not wanting to miss a single detail, but she couldn't understand anything. She cried out, "No, it's not my daughter's leg! You must be mistaken! You must be mistaken!"
She cried, clutching the three words "Zhou Shudie" typed accurately on the report, and knelt dejectedly on the ground: "How could this happen... How could this happen..."
Zhou Shudie became increasingly panicked, but the pain in her body prevented her from speaking. She could only ask in a hoarse voice, "Will I die..."
Chen Song touched her hair, forced a hard smile and said, "No. Go to sleep, and when you wake up we will have equipment to help you walk normally. It won't hurt anymore, okay? We have to be strong."
Zhou Shudie's heart gradually calmed down. She trusted Chen Song very much and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Okay."
Chen Song felt a sharp pain in his heart. He wiped away Zhou Shudie's tears and said with difficulty and tenacity, "Wait until you are discharged from the hospital, and I will send you some gardenias, okay?"
Zhou Shudie nodded, but still looked at Zhou Ningxia anxiously: "But Mom..."
Zhou Ningxia crawled towards Chen Song on her knees, grabbing his clothes, causing deep wrinkles on his pristine white coat. "Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, there must be another way, right? There must be. It doesn't have to be this way, right?"
Chen Song squatted down and quickly helped her up: "Don't do this, Xiaodie's mother. If you don't do this, Xiaodie's life will be in danger. The situation is already very serious. You should make a decision as soon as possible. The nurse will fill out the surgical agreement for you later."
Zhou Ningxia refused to get up, tears streaming down her face. She looked up and begged humbly, "Doctor Chen, please, please save her! She can't have this surgery!"
Ding Hongwen also squatted down to help Zhou Ningxia. "Ms. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, calm down. If you delay any longer, it might be too late for surgery! Her current condition is already the worst it can be. It's absolutely impossible for the pain to have suddenly started. The specific cause needs to be investigated after the operation. We have repeatedly warned you before and after the implant surgery that if you experience any pain or discomfort, even if it's only mild, you must come to the hospital for a follow-up examination. You waited until now until it's so serious. If you delay any further, surgery really won't be able to save her."
Zhou Ningxia cried, unable to express her grievances. "It really just happened today! She never cried out in pain before, it only happened today!"
"Please save her, Dr. Chen! Please, please! She is only sixteen years old, still a little girl, she is so young! She really can't have her limb amputated! Dancing is her dream!"
Zhou Shudie's face turned pale, and the blood in his body froze. He stared at the three people in a daze, his mouth twitching stiffly: "What... are you talking about?"
"What, amputation?"
