Director Han's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is becoming increasingly serious.
If there is no other way, amputation may be the only option to stop the toxin from spreading further.
Once the toxins invade the brain or internal organs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and at that point, it may be too late to save them.
"Mr. Huang, the most effective treatment in Western medicine is to inject the appropriate serum, but unfortunately, after consulting with major hospitals, we learned that we have not encountered similar cases before."
"Expert Zhang and Taoist Priest Liu will arrive later to assist with the diagnosis. If there is still no good solution, amputation may be the only option."
When Huang Jiayao heard that her son was going to have his leg amputated, she instantly lost control of her emotions.
She burst into tears, crying, "Director Han, Junzhou City is so big, and there are so many doctors! Is there really no way? Please save my child! He's just a middle school student. How can he possibly bear such a blow if his arm is amputated!"
Director Han explained helplessly, "Ms. Huang, as the largest hospital in the city, if even we at the First People's Hospital cannot provide a better treatment plan, then other hospitals will probably find it difficult to do anything either."
Huang Deshun frowned and asked anxiously, "Do we still have time to transfer to the provincial hospital?"
“There’s no time left. The toxin is spreading faster and faster; it’s rapidly spreading, and the existing medications are no longer able to stop its spread. In at most two hours, the toxin could reach the neck and brain,” another deputy director said, shaking his head with a grave expression.
Upon hearing this, Huang Deshun's spirits plummeted. He silently prayed for a miracle to save his grandson's arm.
"Dad, what should we do?" Huang Jiayao broke down again and threw herself into the old man's arms, crying loudly.
The group of people standing nearby, including Liang Ziyan, turned pale with fright. They had only been bitten by an unknown snake while climbing the mountain, but the bites had become so severe that they needed to have their limbs amputated.
"What are you brats still standing here for? Go stand by the door and see if Expert Zhang and Master Liu have arrived yet!" Huang Deshun scolded.
Upon hearing their grandfather's reprimand, the group of teenagers quickly lowered their heads and left the emergency room.
"Are Expert Zhang and Taoist Priest Liu still not here?" Huang Deshun asked anxiously.
"Mr. Huang, I just confirmed by phone that Master Liu will be arriving soon. Expert Zhang will be a little later, but he's already on his way," a young man in a suit replied promptly from behind Huang Deshun.
At the entrance of the emergency room, Huang Hongming looked around and said to the person next to him, "Aren't Expert Hu and Master Liu supposed to be here soon? Why are they still nowhere to be seen?"
“Let’s go check the hospital entrance so they can find the place. Let’s go!” Huang Hongwei continued.
Just as they were about to leave, three people walked towards them.
Upon seeing one of them, Huang Hongming asked with delight, "Uncle Qiang, has the person you invited arrived?"
Before Li Qiang could answer.
Huang Hongming and Liang Zehui exclaimed in unison, "It's you, little Taoist priest, what are you doing at the hospital?"
They suddenly remembered that when they were climbing the mountain, Liu Feng had reminded them that their cousin had toxins spreading on his arm and that they should not move around and should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Could this young Taoist priest possess some kind of sorcery? Did he know someone was poisoned just by glancing at them briefly on the mountain path? When they looked at Liu Feng's handsome face again, they felt a sense of unease and all took a step back.
At this moment, Li Qiang walked over and introduced, "Hongming, this is Master Liu. Quickly let Master Liu in, General Manager Huang is waiting!"
Hongming was the boy who had previously said Liu Feng was blocking his way. Liu Feng didn't want to talk to him anymore and went straight into the emergency room.
To avoid any misunderstanding, Tong Miao, who was with them, first introduced Liu Feng to everyone.
Liu Feng didn't waste any words. His purpose was to save people, so he went straight to the bedside, lifted the blanket covering Liang Ziyang's upper body, and exposed his poisoned arm.
When Huang Deshun and the others saw the so-called Taoist Master Liu, their expressions were the same as when Li Qiang first met him. Could there be a mistake?
He couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Hong.
Seeing that Liu Feng had already begun to examine Liang Ziyang, who was lying unconscious on the bed, they held back and waited to see what Liu Feng would say next.
After examining the poisoned person's condition, Liu Feng already had a clear understanding of the situation.
Although he didn't know what kind of snake venom it was, his treatment method was different from Western medicine and did not require serum therapy.
Just as Liu Feng was about to speak, everyone in the room suddenly turned to look at the door and immediately erupted in excitement.
An elderly man wearing glasses and a white lab coat, with a scholarly air, walked in.
"Expert Hu is here, everyone make way!" a doctor called out.
"Dr. Hu, please come in! I beg you, Dr. Hu, please help me cure my grandson!" Huang Deshun said earnestly.
The crowd quickly made way for the hospital bed.
Standing at the head of the bed, Liu Feng suddenly felt superfluous and silently took two steps back.
Expert Hu stepped forward, and a nurse handed him gloves, which he took and put on. He then bent down to examine Liang Ziyang's poisoned arm and asked to see the previous test reports from the hospital.
After a long while, Expert Hu frowned, looked up at the crowd.
"Dr. Hu, is there any way to cure the poison on my child's arm?" Huang Jiayao asked impatiently.
Expert Hu shook his head and sighed, saying, "The toxin has now spread to the entire arm. It's too late to use bloodletting and cupping to reduce swelling and detoxify. Unless we can find the right antitoxin serum, the situation is extremely critical."
He added, "I'm sorry, but I can't determine the source of this snake venom! The most feasible treatment right now is probably amputation. You need to make a decision as soon as possible; the longer you delay, the greater the risk."
Director Han chimed in, "We have antivenom for all the venomous snakes that have appeared on Wudang Mountain, such as the bamboo viper, the banded krait, the short-tailed pit viper, and the five-step snake. But the appearance of a venomous snake that can harm people in the dead of winter is truly unheard of."
Upon hearing the word "amputation" from Dr. Hu, Huang Jiayao burst into tears and asked, "Dr. Hu, Director Han, is there no other way besides amputation?"
Expert Hu shook his head and said, "When encountering this kind of unknown snake venom, unless we can find the corresponding antivenom, there is really no better option. Amputation is cruel, but sometimes it is the only way to save a life."
"There's really no better way. Even if you can send them to the provincial capital or the capital, the result will be the same. You should make a decision as soon as possible!"
Expert Hu's words were like a death knell, weighing heavily on everyone present.
Huang Jiayao and her daughter were already sobbing uncontrollably.
