636 · Haining Cat Island (46)
There were not many people in the hospital in the early morning and the elevator stopped at the third floor. Bai Jinshu and the others thought about it and were not sure which floor the conversation came from, so they decided to climb up the stairs through the stairwell.
[What's going on over there?] The conversation in the temporary group chat was shared by all members. As soon as Guan Hongyan and Wu Meng left the old residential area, they saw that the other party in the group chat seemed to have made new progress. [Did you meet that couple?]
[We met,] Yun Guang lowered his head and typed, [Zhongsheng just heard part of what they said. We are going to go up a few floors now to see if we can hear what they are saying carefully.]
Based on the few words that Bai Jinshu heard, he was unable to guess what they were talking about.
[Someone is approaching.] Guan Hongyan was about to continue typing when she saw two lines of words pop up in the temporary group chat: [Don’t leave yet.]
Bai Jinshu didn't need to remind him. In the stairwell of the hospital, as soon as he sent out these two lines of words, the remaining two people heard the vague conversation in their ears suddenly become clear.
【Lu Changfeng: Are they upstairs? 】
What a coincidence, the people who were having the conversation happened to walk into the stairwell to talk at this time.
"This...family member of the patient, I understand that you are very excited, but please keep your voice down," the doctor closed the door of the stairwell quietly and pressed his solar plexus with a headache. "There are other patients resting in the corridor outside."
The couple was so excited and talking so loudly that he had to take them to the stairwell to talk.
"How can I not be excited?!" the man in the couple said aggressively, "My son was fine before he came here, how come he is like this after coming to you!"
"Yes," the woman also chimed in, "You said it was a sudden illness, I think it was caused by a cat bite! He became like this after being bitten by a cat, do the cats here have rabies? We need to transfer him to another hospital!"
"Transfer to another hospital!" the man responded excitedly, "Let's buy the earliest ferry tomorrow and go to a big hospital tomorrow!"
"Two family members of patients... Two patients... Two!" The doctor called out several times but failed to interrupt the two people's speech. He could only raise his voice and shout, "Stop for a moment!"
"It's true that the patient's condition is not serious, but this disease cannot be delayed. It will be too late to transfer to another hospital tomorrow morning!" He said in a serious tone, "Otherwise, we can't call the doctor to perform surgery here tonight!"
"And the patient wasn't bitten by a cat," he added. "There were no wounds on his body, so it couldn't be rabies."
"Who knows if you have done a thorough examination?" the man said with a hint of worry and criticism in his tone. "Your hospital is so old and run-down. The medical level is definitely not as good as outside..."
“But…” The woman’s voice seemed a little shaken, “But the doctor said it will be too late tomorrow…”
"Listen to their nonsense," the man glared at the doctor viciously, "They just want to cheat us out of money! They just want us to pay more. This place can only get a few patients a year. They rely on tourists from other places to make money."
"You can't say that..." The doctor twitched his lips and couldn't help but interrupt, "Haining Island only became popular last month. Before you tourists came, our hospital was doing well..."
"Who knows you..." The man seemed to want to say something, but halfway through his words, the woman grabbed his sleeve fiercely, blocking the rest of his words.
"Um...doctor..." The woman hesitated for a moment, "Is it true what you said about this operation being risk-free?"
"Really, really," the doctor nodded repeatedly, and said in a slow tone, "Although this is a sudden illness that requires surgery, it is actually a minimally invasive surgery. The wound is even only a small spot, and it will not leave scars at all. The success rate is 100%. You can get out of bed immediately after the surgery, and you can go home the next day, just like you never had surgery."
Barrage:
【？ 】
[No exchange, 100% compensation, there is something fishy here. 】
[This doctor is so anxious. ]
[He seemed to really want the two children to have surgery.]
[It’s not like, he just really wants to. ]
[It seemed like he was always agreeing with the patient's family and saying what they wanted to hear.]
One floor apart, the three people on the second floor looked at each other, and Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly.
This doctor...isn't this too obvious?
He wasn't the only one who felt this way—
[Lu Changfeng: Is there such a surgery as he mentioned? ]
[In the more developed world, it is possible.] Yun Guang pondered for a moment, [but here... it is unlikely.]
He had been to many unknown spaces, and had seen surgeries with 100% success rate. He had even seen genetically modified people living in a disease-free world. But in this space… let alone Haining Island, a technologically backward island, based on his understanding of this world in the past few days, even the most developed hospitals in big cities outside probably wouldn’t dare to make such a boast.
Not to mention that the doctor's words were very suggestive. At the beginning, he exaggerated the disease to be extremely urgent, and one second's delay could result in death. But later he said things like "there is only a small wound", "you can get out of bed after the operation", and "you can go home the next day". These were obviously exaggerated words.
Even if we put aside the 100% success rate, this is really a very small operation, and it requires a lot of preparation procedures before the actual operation. From what they saw along the way, it doesn't look like this hospital can easily arrange an operation in the middle of the night.
Speaking like this is just like sticking "the surgery must be done in our hospital" on your face.
Even Lu Changfeng couldn't help but type in the group: [Isn't this doctor too obvious? ]
Isn't it obvious that there is something fishy going on?
However, as the saying goes, there is a way to tie up a donkey in its own way. This speech full of loopholes seemed to them to be full of loopholes, but it was just right for the patient's family.
In the eyes of most patients, surgery can be done whenever they want, with a 100% success rate, and they can go home the next day...
"Is this... so simple?" The couple looked at each other, and the man's critical look faded a little. He asked tentatively, "Then can you use your medical insurance..."
"You don't even have to pay," the doctor said, his eyes firm and his left fist clenched, "Our hospital is subsidized by the government!"
The man's eyes lit up and he changed the subject: "You are such a good doctor!"
Barrage:
【Changed into a face.】
【Forget the original. 】
【You kid. 】
【Six hundred and sixty-six, salt is not salty anymore.】
[Just what I wanted]
[I understand. I completely understand that this is what the patient wanted.]
A tense conversation was easily resolved with the words "No need to pay". The three of them made peace and walked out of the elevator together in a friendly manner. Only three people on the second floor who were full of complaints after listening to the conversation were left.
[Lu Changfeng: What hospital can perform surgery without fasting, skin preparation, or even scheduling, and can mobilize doctors from home to the hospital to perform surgery that night...]
[The success rate is 100%] Yun Guang was silent for a moment, and suddenly he could understand Guan Hongyan's mood of complaining sometimes. [This is too fake.]
【Guan Hongyan: What are you talking about? Is that child going to have surgery?】
[Not only that,] Bai Jinshu added, [there is no charge, the wound is minimal, you can get out of bed after the operation and go home the next day, just like you didn’t have the operation.]
Such an operation would not exist unless...
【Du Zhongsheng: Unless this is not a real surgery. 】
The doctor's purpose was to trick them into pushing the child into the operating room.
Is there anything they can't do in front of their family members?
【Du Zhongsheng: Let’s go in and take a look?】
It's easy to know what they do. The patient's family members cannot enter the operating room, because they can't.
Since it's not a real surgery, it doesn't need to be sterile. I can use the Foundation's invisibility miracle and sneak in easily when the door is open.
Yun Guang thought for a moment: [Lu Changfeng and I can do it, but if we speak sincerely...]
Bai Jinshu frowned slightly.
Before he entered this unknown space, he used the excuse that all his points were reset to zero in the previous exploration, and he was pushed from the high-end space to the E-class space.
I almost forgot about this just now.
【Du Zhongsheng: Just go ahead and contact us in the group. 】
[Yun Guang: The miracles of the Foundation can be superimposed. I will bring a pinhole camera in later. You should be able to see what is happening in the operating room.]
That is to say, Yun Guang had enough points in his account, so he chose to use it in such a lavish way. Bai Jinshu didn't know much about the miracles in the mall, but he had bought a pinhole camera. The points from one of these things could be equal to the income from the resident team members in the E-level space going back and forth between life and death several times. I wonder what the other four low-end team members in the group would think when they saw this sentence.
After solving this problem, Yun Guang and Lu Changfeng did not stay any longer. Yun Guang shared a link in the group, and soon, the figures of the two people became blurred, gradually disintegrating from solid entities into a ball of white smoke, and then with a gust of evening breeze, they became completely transparent and could no longer be seen.
This miracle is quite useful. Bai Jinshu paid some attention to look at the link that Yun Guang sent in the group... As expected, such a useful thing is charged by the second, and the cost per second is not small. Such an expensive miracle, if the people present were not all high-end team members, Yun Guang probably would not have sent this miracle.
However, miracles are too useful, but they also have their drawbacks. After becoming invisible, Yun Guang and Lu Changfeng couldn't see each other, let alone communicate with their eyes. Even their words couldn't be heard... Fortunately, there was a temporary group chat.
[Yun Guang: Time is urgent. Let's find out where the operating room is. One person per floor?]
They had already seen the first floor when they came. There were only emergency rooms, some hospital windows, and outpatient departments. There was no sign of an operating room or a room that looked like an operating room.
【Lu Changfeng: OK】
The hospital on Haining Island is not very large. Several departments are crowded on the same floor. The area is not very large, so it is easy to find.
Not long after, Lu Changfeng posted the location in the group: [Brother Yun Guang, it's on the third floor. I've found the place.]
The images from the pinhole camera changed several times and finally stabilized in front of an operating room.
A moment later, the sound of a cart was heard in the distant corridor.
Yun Guang adjusted the position of the camera, and as the lens changed, Bai Jinshu finally saw two nurses pushing an operating bed towards the operating room.
The little boy was lying on the bed. From his perspective, he seemed to be in the same condition as before at the barbecue stall. He seemed unable to control his limbs. He sat crookedly on the bed, and his perception of his surroundings was very dull.
There was no anesthesia before entering the operating room?
Bai Jinshu followed Yun Guang into the room thoughtfully and landed beside the operating bed.
Just as they had guessed, this was probably not a normal operation. After closing the door to block the view of the two relatives outside, two nurses placed him on the operating table and took out two things like restraints.
The two nurses were tying the body while whispering, "Where's Xiaohui?"
"Speaking of the hospital entrance." another answered.
"Did you bring the things?" the man in front asked in a low voice.
"She said she had brought it," the nurse at the back pushed open the door and answered casually, "We'll just find an operating cart to cover it and push it in later."
Cover it up?
What needs to be covered?
The little boy lying on the bed seemed to have sensed the unusualness of this operation and began to struggle crookedly. The two nurses looked at each other and quickly sped up their movements. One of them urged the other, "Hurry up Xiaohui, where is she?"
"She's coming," the other one checked her phone, "She said she was changing into surgical gown."
"What are you changing? Hurry up." The one in front urged.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then several people wearing surgical gowns pushed a small cart in.
As the door closed, completely blocking the view of the corridor outside, a slightly raised hill under the cart moved, and the white cloth slid to one side, revealing a cat's head underneath.
