In Lujiu City, the sirens of an ambulance broke the silence of the night, and a man was rushed to the emergency building of the city hospital.
In the duty room, You Tianfu was reading the "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing" intently. Upon receiving the news, he immediately made all preparations and stood by at the door.
Soon, the ambulance arrived. Doctor Wang Yi briefly described the man's condition. "He's a male, approximately 35 years old, stabbed seven times. Preliminary diagnosis shows damage to his liver, spleen, and stomach, with one stab wound to his back. His condition is critical, requiring immediate surgery! I've contacted your father, and he's already contacted the police. Saving his life is paramount; operate immediately."
In the operating room, several people transferred the man from the stretcher to the operating table. The mat on the stretcher was completely stained red, which made You Tianfu frown.
After completing the initial work of stopping bleeding, we wait for the blood bank to deliver blood bags for blood transfusion and surgery.
The man's wounds had almost all damaged major blood vessels, and his face had turned pale from the massive blood loss. The nurse beside him couldn't help but ask what had happened. Wang Yi replied, "It was a relationship dispute. This guy was caught cheating on his wife with someone else. He was stabbed seven times before he even had his clothes on. If the woman hadn't tried desperately to stop him, he'd probably be dead by now..."
The blood bank urged again and again, but finally learned that the injured person's blood type was very rare, and the entire blood bank currently had only 600 ml of blood in stock.
Although three bags of blood had been sent to the operating room, the man's wounds were still bleeding. If it was only one external injury, it would be fine, but with seven wounds, only 600 ml of blood would not be enough to complete the operation.
The hospital has contacted other blood banks for blood support, and Wang Yi also reminded You Tianfu that the operation must begin.
You Tianfu didn't make a move, but instead looked up at Wang Yi: "Old Wang, the 'Concentration Needle Technique' my grandfather passed down to me might be able to slow down the bleeding or even stop it. I'd like to give it a try. If it succeeds, even if other blood banks can't deliver blood, these 600 milliliters will be enough for us!"
"Brother, are you okay?" Wang Yi glared at him. "I know your grandfather is a famous Chinese medicine practitioner of the older generation, but we are Western medicine practitioners. This is a surgical procedure. We need to combine Chinese and Western medicine, and use acupuncture to stop the bleeding. How could you come up with that?! This is a hospital. You can't mess around just because your father is the director of the emergency department!"
"Even though I haven't tried it, I'm pretty confident! And..."
"Come on, don't mess around, kid. If anything goes wrong, Director You might break your legs! I'm going to call your dad and ask about the blood bank. Wait until I get back!"
As soon as Wang Yi left, the man on the operating table twitched violently, and then all his physical values began to fluctuate. Only two of the three bags of blood that had just been delivered were left.
You Tianfu hesitated briefly, then went to the office and took out the acupuncture kit passed down from his grandfather. After disinfecting it again, he placed it aside. He looked up at the other two assistant nurses and said, "Just do your job well. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"
His mind flashed with his grandfather's teachings and the acupuncture points on the human body that he had memorized deeply. You Tiancai inserted long needles into the man's body. Those long needles seemed to have life in his hands. He inserted them into the acupuncture points at different depths and arranged them in order from top to bottom.
Soon, all thirty-six long needles were inserted into the corresponding acupuncture points. Looking at the wound that had stopped bleeding, You Tianfu breathed a sigh of relief with beads of sweat on his forehead. "How is it going?"
The nurse opposite looked at the test equipment in front of her, her voice trembling: "The bleeding has stopped, and the blood pressure is down..."
Immediately afterwards, the alarm lights of several instruments sounded one after another, and the originally quiet operating room suddenly became chaotic.
You Tianfu also looked panicked. He ordered the nurse to start the rescue while pulling out all the silver needles. Wang Yi also rushed in and joined the rescue.
Ten minutes later, as all vital signs disappeared, the continuous beeping alarm announced the failure of the operation.
Wang Yi's face turned pale as he stared at the acupuncture kit on the operating table, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're such a torture!"
This night was destined to be sleepless. You Tianfu sat quietly in the operating room, holding his acupuncture bag. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew he would have to pay the price for his youthful recklessness...
Before dawn, the man's family, the police and the major leaders of the hospital gathered together. You Tianfu took the initiative to assume all responsibilities. At the same time, Wang Yi, two nurses who participated in the operation, and You Zhiguo, the director of the emergency department, were all taken away for investigation.
There was not much discrepancy in this matter. Everyone told the truth and the division of responsibilities was clear. The only thing left to be discussed was compensation.
Although the hospital will certainly bear part of the responsibility, You Tianfu is undoubtedly the main responsible person. After the investigation, everyone else was released, and only You Tianfu was criminally detained.
You Zhiguo was so angry he nearly went mad. Before leaving, he was still poking and yelling through the glass of the detention room, "You Tianfu! You're truly gifted! Do you think you're a god-given doctor or the reincarnation of Hua Tuo? I'm telling you, your future is over! Your life is ruined!"
In the detention room, You Tianfu's mind was blank. He sat in the corner with a dull expression. As soon as he closed his eyes, the images in the operating room began to flicker non-stop.
You Tianfu was born into a family of doctors. It's said his great-grandfather was a physician to the Imperial Court, and his grandfather inherited his skills and was a renowned doctor in his youth. By the time of his father, You Zhiguo, the era of reform and opening up arrived, he chose Western medicine in college.
Influenced by his family, You Tianfu also embarked on You Zhiguo's path. He lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to university and started working under him.
Although he studied Western medicine, You Tianfu also learned a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge and acupuncture techniques from his grandfather since he was a child. However, he has never had a place to put his knowledge into practice. He himself doesn't know whether the acupuncture methods that his grandfather said were miraculous are really effective.
This time he encountered an emergency patient by chance. It can be said that he was eager to save people, or it can be said that he was young and reckless. In short, once the patient died, the medical accident was confirmed.
After a month of investigation, evidence collection, trial and sentencing, You Tianfu was finally sentenced to three years in prison for medical malpractice resulting in death, his medical license was revoked, and he was also ordered to pay a considerable amount of compensation.
It was already evening when he was imprisoned. He and another man entered cell No. 1 together. The prison guard assigned beds to them, locked the door and left.
Before the two of them could sit down, they were pushed to the corner. A man with a scarred face was sitting on the bed opposite them, and four other prisoners were standing on his left and right, looking like a boss and his subordinates.
The scarred man had dark skin, a burly figure, a big nose, big eyes, and thick lips. The skin on his face was covered with calluses, and there was a scar running diagonally across the bridge of his nose, which was terrifying to look at!
He tilted his head to look at the two of them, then raised his chin: "Tell me, why did you come in?"
You Tianfu felt a little frightened, clutching the sweat in his palms and swallowing his saliva. However, the man next to him was very calm and responded casually:
"My name is Hao Zhengguang, I'm a chef. I stabbed that idiot seven times. I did it intentionally, but I didn't kill him."
You Tianfu was stunned by what he said, turned to look at him, and said:
"My name is You Tianfu, doctor. The patient was stabbed seven times. It was a medical error. He couldn't be saved."
