Everyone looked at Li Zheng in shock.
Several workers were even more shocked. "How could you save your limbs even in this state? Are you a god?"
Chen Dayong, who knew Li Zheng's character, was very excited.
As long as Li Zheng said it, there was nothing he couldn't do so far, but he still asked very cautiously.
"Brother, do you have a good way to save the limb? There's no way this crushed tissue can be preserved!"
Everyone stared at Li Zheng, wondering what amazing answer he would come up with.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "The crushed part of the calf cannot be saved. It must be removed. We can then reattach the remaining part of the calf and foot."
"ah?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Then...won't that make your legs short? How will you walk then?" asked the foreman of the workers.
"This is just the first step," Li Zheng continued. "The second step is to make a special external fixator after the lower leg is reattached, and then perform the limb lengthening surgery."
"What? Limb extension?" a coworker asked. "Short legs can be extended?"
Chen Dayong was very excited. After listening to the first step, he felt that these short legs were neither good-looking nor useful.
But after this second step, Chen Dayong immediately understood Li Zheng's intention.
Although he didn't know how to extend it specifically, and he had never even heard that limbs could be extended, as long as Li Zheng said it was possible, then it must be possible.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It's possible, but the process is very complicated and it may not be successful."
The worker asked again, "How confident are you?"
Chen Dayong said to his fellow workers, "Don't ask so many questions for now. It's a lie to say you're sure. Even if there's only a one percent chance of success, if it succeeds, it's a hundred percent. Even if there's a ninety percent chance of success, failure is still a hundred percent for him."
"It depends on whether you are willing to take certain risks. This process will definitely be long, and the medical expenses will be high. It's not that your life is in danger, but you may not be able to save your legs in the end, and it will cost a lot of money."
Although Chen Dayong has confidence in Li Zheng, this kind of complicated treatment has too many uncontrollable factors and the possibility of failure is also possible, so he must speak the truth upfront.
Li Zheng also nodded and said, "Your first step of limb salvage treatment cannot be completed in our hospital. We don't have the conditions for emergency treatment here. You must go to the city hospital. Of course, I will still perform the surgery. The second step of extension can be performed in our hospital."
The workers were dumbfounded.
If you can't do it, why are you talking so much?
"Then let's just go to the city hospital and don't bother you!" said the foreman somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Go directly to the city hospital. They will order an amputation. They don't have the ability to save the limb."
They couldn't even complete this first step. Zhu Qidong was the only one who had half the experience, and the other doctors didn't have the ability to suture, so it was impossible for them to reconnect these two legs.
Not to mention the second step, the limb lengthening technology was only introduced to Great Russia in 1995, and this concept does not exist in China yet.
"What? The city hospital doesn't have the capacity?" A young worker got angry and shouted, "You take yourself too seriously. You're saying all this, but you're just trying to trick us into coming here for treatment. Even though it's a work-related injury, money's not something you can easily scam!"
The other workers also nodded.
Chen Dayong said loudly: "Okay, if you don't believe it, you can go directly to the city hospital. We won't stop you."
The workers looked at each other.
The foreman nodded and said, "Please use an ambulance to take us there! Our car is unsafe and too slow."
Li Zheng nodded and said, "No problem, we'll arrange it right away."
After that, Li Zheng said to Chen Dayong, "Go call the city hospital and ask them to prepare for the visit."
Chen Dayong understood and turned around to go out and make a phone call.
He knew what Li Zheng meant. When we got there, the city hospital would definitely perform an amputation, so we would have to do the surgery ourselves.
"Xiaomei, prepare the cold saline gauze..."
Li Zheng quickly wrapped his calf with cold gauze, which could prolong the limb's tolerance to ischemia.
There was no heavy bleeding in the two calves for the time being, and Li Zheng bandaged them with clean gauze.
After handling the situation, Chen Dayong pushed the cart from the ambulance over.
Li Zheng and his fellow workers moved the injured worker onto a cart.
Chen Dayong drove the car, while Li Zheng and Lin Xiaomei sat in the back car, keeping a close eye on the wounded.
There were two other workers accompanying the vehicle, while the rest of the workers drove their own small trucks.
We travelled at lightning speed.
An hour later, we arrived at the emergency department of the city hospital.
After the car stopped, Li Zheng opened the side door and got out.
Chen Dayong got out of the cab first and opened the back door of the ambulance.
The director of the orthopedics department Duan Jianhui, deputy directors Zhou Ming and Zhu Qidong, the director of the emergency department Qin Xiangfeng, and the attending physician of the emergency department Sun Peng, and a group of people gathered around.
A cameraman was filming next to them with a camera.
Li Zheng and Chen Dayong pulled the cart down.
"What's the situation?" Zhu Qidong asked.
"Let's go in first!" Duan Jianhui took the lead in making way.
Sun Peng and Zhu Qidong also helped push the cart.
Arrived at the emergency room quickly.
Chen Dayong removed the quilt covering the worker named Dachun.
If you want to perform surgery here, these doctors must understand the situation before the operation.
Although it was wrapped in gauze, there was almost nothing in the middle part of the calf, and everyone gasped when they saw it.
"The middle part is almost gone, with only a little bit of skin fascia left connecting it," said Li Zheng.
"In this state, Li Zheng, do you want to talk about limb preservation?" Zhou Ming, deputy director of orthopedics, looked at Li Zheng as if he were a fool.
Director Duan and Zhu Qidong also frowned.
There is absolutely no possibility of saving the limb!
Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I do have the idea of ​​preserving the limb. The first step is to reconnect the remaining limb. After it heals, the second step is to extend the limb."
"Limbs can be extended? How?" Duan Jianhui's eyes lit up. He didn't know how it could be done, and he wouldn't have believed it if it were anyone else, but coming from Li Zheng, it must work. Li Zheng was someone who couldn't be looked at in the same light.
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this in detail. Let's first do a preoperative examination on the patient and then go to the operating room for a brief discussion."
Duan Jianhui looked at his fellow workers and asked, "Do you agree to limb salvage? This process will be long and carries high risks. The possibility of failure is also very high!"
Although he didn't know Li Zheng's specific surgical method and treatment process, with so many years of professional experience, he knew that if he wanted to get a good result, the price would definitely be very huge.
The foreman asked, "Don't you know how to save your limbs?"
