Chapter 118 This World is Really Small



Ruan Tang opened the door of his office by himself.

Ruan Tang smiled as she sent Peng Kangxi to the door, and didn't even notice Ji Nanfeng and the other person at the stairs.

Peng Kang didn't know what he said, but Ruan Tang laughed heartily.

After that, Peng Kang stretched out his hand towards Ruan Tang...

Dean Pu's heart tightened. He subconsciously glanced at Ji Nanfeng, who smiled and nodded at him.

"I know. That's the director of ophthalmology. My wife is on duty in the ophthalmology department recently, so she has to chat with her colleagues there."

Dean Pu felt relieved when he saw Ji Nanfeng was so reasonable.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little cold. The temperature around him seemed to drop by several degrees and was about to continue to drop.

Ruan Tang shook Peng Kang's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

The two shook hands and then separated. Dean Pu hurriedly led Ji Nanfeng to Ruan Tang.

"Vice President Ruan, are you done with your work? If you are, go home early. Your wife has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ruan Tang's eyes lit up when she saw Ji Nanfeng.

"Vice President Ruan, a girl named Xiang Ge came to the emergency room and came crying to see you."

Ruan Tang rushed downstairs as soon as she heard it, "Xiang Gao must have gotten into trouble." The others also hurriedly followed.

As Ruan Tang expected, Xiang Ge said that his brother's facial inflammation had faded a lot after he went to the hospital yesterday, but when he woke up this morning, he felt his vision was a little blurred, and now he can't see at all with his right eye.

She asked her brother to come to the hospital, but her brother was unwilling because he had spent all his money yesterday on food.

"Aunt Ruan, is my brother's eye sick? How could he not be able to see after being stung by a bee? I've been stung by bees many times, and it just healed after a few days of swelling, didn't it?"

Xiang Ge asked in a crying voice. Her brother didn't let her come to the hospital to see Aunt Ruan. Her brother said that she was just stung by a few bees and it would be fine in two days.

But she was afraid that her brother would get sick and die like her parents, so she came here secretly.

"Xiang Ge, we can only determine what's wrong with Xiang Gao's eyes by bringing him in for a checkup. Blindness is no small matter, and we must get treatment as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Dean Pu also said that seeing a doctor was important and asked Xiang Ge to bring her brother over quickly.

"Those who have money need medical treatment, and those who don't need it also need it. Our country has a policy. If you really have difficulties, you can ask the commune to write a note and then pay you back over time."

After hearing what Dean Pu said, Xiang Ge nodded and said, "I'll go get my brother right away."

"I'll go with you." Ruan Tang was afraid that Xiang Gao was unwilling to come, so she could persuade him.

Ji Nanfeng: "Let me go, you doctors should prepare to receive the patient."

Ruan Tang thought about it and nodded in agreement. It was now past closing time, and many doctors in other departments had already left work. They still had to contact the relevant departments to get back on duty.

"Try to persuade them as much as you can."

"Don't worry, I'll carry him here even if I have to."

Dean Pu looked at Ji Nanfeng's back. Just for this reason, he could understand why Ruan Tang chose such a tough, pretty boy. He was reliable at the critical moment.

Ji Nanfeng did what he said and really carried Xiang Gao on his shoulders.

He was 1.88 meters tall, and he walked with a breeze while carrying a baby who was about 14 or 15 years old.

He threw Xiang Gao in front of Ruan Tang, asked for the key to Ruan Tang's office, and went to the office to wait for her to get off work.

Ruan Tang comforted him with a few words and then handed Xiang Gao over to Peng Kang.

After Peng Kang learned about the situation, he took Xiang Gao for a series of examinations. After consultation with several parties, it was determined that Xiang Gao's central retinal artery was blocked due to the early venom left on his face by the bee sting, which led to a sudden drop in vision in his right eye.

Fortunately, Ruan Tang performed basic debridement on Xiang Gao within an hour after he was stung. Otherwise, he would have fallen into a coma.

Once the cause of the disease is found, treatment must be sought within 24 hours.

Peng Kang clenched and unclenched his fists. "Our ophthalmology department can't even perform 10 surgeries a year. To be honest, I'm not confident about this one."

Although Peng Kangyu was the director of ophthalmology, most patients would subconsciously refuse surgery upon hearing it was necessary. Their traditional belief was that even if they died, they had to die with their bodies intact. If the surgery failed, their bodies would be completely destroyed, and they wouldn't even be eligible for reincarnation.

There is also a small group of people who are advanced in thinking and not short of money, and they will try every means to go to Beijing or Shanghai to seek famous doctors.

This puts their ophthalmology department in an awkward position: there are not many outpatient clinics and even fewer surgeries.

Ruan Tang pondered for a moment and asked Peng Kang what he was not sure about.

"The only treatment right now is to inject medication into the blocked area. To be honest, I'm afraid my hands might shake and I might not insert the syringe too deep..."

"I can do this."

Peng Kang suddenly looked up at Ruan Tang, "Vice President Ruan, this is not like surgery. The eyeball is a very fragile organ..."

"Oh, I did an experiment with a chicken's eye a few days ago and cut open a cornea. The kids didn't notice anything unusual, so it must have been quite successful."

Peng Kang was stunned. He had seen the two chicken dolls that Ruan Tang had sewn before, even in his son's hands. He hadn't noticed anything unusual about the chickens' eyes.

He was a little excited: "Shall we start then?"

"start!"

After Peng Kang and Ruan Tang decided on the surgical plan, they went to find Xiang Gao and his sister. The surgery required their parents' signature.

Xiang Gao and Xiang Ge only knew that their uncle had heard that the price of grain in Hongyang County was cheap, so he took all the money in the family and went there to buy grain. He had been gone for two days.

There are no adults in the Xiang family, but Xiang Gao's treatment cannot be delayed. Ruan Tang can only let Peng Kang take Xiang Gao to prepare for the operation first, and she takes Xiang Ge to find Dean Pu for signature.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard cries for help coming from the hospital gate.

"Doctor, come and help! My brother's leg was cut and he's bleeding like a basin. He's almost dead..."

The doctor on the first floor heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the emergency bed to the door, asking the family to quickly put the patient on the emergency bed.

Ruan Tang took a look at the patient's injured leg and found that although the bleeding had stopped, the wound was still bloody and flesh was blurred, with bones visible at the deepest part.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace and asked Xiang Ge to go to the side. They would go to the family compound to ask Dean Pu to sign and come back later to see if he needed any help.

Xiang Ge was a child at heart. The first time he saw someone being rescued in the hospital, he couldn't help but cross his legs and look at the emergency bed...

"uncle!"

Xiang Ge saw a person lying on the emergency bed and tried his best to squeeze in.

"Uncle, why are you here? How did you get into this state?"

"Didn't you go buy food? How did it end up like this? Was your food stolen?"

The injured man had not expected to meet Xiang Ge here. He said dejectedly, "My uncle is useless. The food he bought was stolen, and he was injured..."

When Ruan Tang squeezed to the emergency bed with the family notification form, she saw Xiang Ge's uncle's face and smiled.

This world is so small.
