Chapter 381: Chapter 381 I Want to Take You as My Master
"Heh, don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, our doctors are very responsible towards every patient. If Liu doesn’t want him to be discharged, he must have his reasons. No worries, let’s discuss this further, and if there are no issues, rest assured, we won’t hold you up here. Come on, Liu Zheng, step outside for a moment."
Director Xiao saw the situation was heading towards a dispute if they continued, which he did not want to happen, so he pulled Liu Zheng and Liu Yang out of the ward again.
"Liu Zheng, what’s the actual situation? I don’t see any problem with the child; are you being overly cautious? If it’s not okay, let them go. If this carries on, having a disturbance in the hospital really isn’t appropriate."
"Liu Yang, do you really think there’s no problem with him?"
"Although, although what you said seems logical, based on his current condition, I can’t really tell. I just feel it might just be because he didn’t sleep well, that’s why we have this situation today."
Liu Zheng just helplessly shook his head. Sometimes, it was difficult to find someone who understood him. When he believed in something that others didn’t acknowledge, how could Liu Zheng accept it in his heart?
"You might have encountered too few cases; I can’t blame you for that. But my intuition tells me there’s definitely a problem. No, I must speak with his parents earnestly. This is a matter of life and death. If they leave the hospital, the consequences could be serious."
Liu Zheng wouldn’t listen to dissuasion and then walked straight back into the room.
Meanwhile, the patient’s parents had already started packing up, almost ready to leave.
"Listen to my explanation, the child is indeed in danger. How about this, I’ll take the child now, I will cover the expenses, and we’ll do a CT scan for the child. If there’s a problem, it’s on me; if there’s no issue, then I will explain everything to you. Does that work?"
"What a joke, you think my son is your guinea pig? You say you’ll pay now, as if money is the issue? Do you think we can’t afford it? We just feel that it’s too damaging to his health. If you want to find guinea pigs for your experiments, look elsewhere, not my son. We’re leaving."
The parents’ attitude seemed very difficult, and understandably so. In fact, Liu entirely empathized with them from the bottom of his heart.
In the end, they took the child off the bed, and just then, a piece of candy fell from the side of the bed to the floor.
"Mommy, my candy fell."
After saying this, the little boy hurriedly squatted down to pick up the candy from the floor, but even though the candy was right in front of him, his hand kept groping around it without being able to grasp it.
When Liu Zheng saw this, his eyes widened suddenly, then he turned his head to look at Liu Yang and found that Liu Yang’s expression matched his exactly, clearly noticing the detail as well.
"My, you’re so tired you can’t even pick up the candy. Here, let Mommy get it for you."
"Hurry, we don’t have much time, get a stretcher, the child really has a problem."
Suddenly, Liu Yang shouted. Director Xiao and the parents were not sure what he was trying to do and couldn’t react in time.
In that moment, the little boy didn’t stand up but then collapsed to the floor.
"Son, son, son, what’s wrong? Son, what happened to you?"
The parents were immediately flustered upon seeing this, gently pushing his body, finding he had fallen into an unconscious state, and even his breathing began to quicken.
"Quick, go get a stretcher."
It was only after the boy had lost consciousness that Director Xiao realized the severity of the situation. He shouted for help, and soon, a nurse brought over a stretcher, and they hastily carried the child to the emergency room.
The CT scan was already operating above him. Anxious, they all stood within the CT room, waiting to see the results.
When the images appeared before them, they rushed forward to look. Afterward, they just looked at each other.
"Liu, it seems I really thought things were too simple, and indeed, I underestimated your perception. You’re right, the child has indeed had some bleeding, a subdural hematoma. We must perform a craniotomy immediately; otherwise, the situation could become very dangerous."
"I always felt it wasn’t that simple; this kind of slow bleeding is often the most troubling. Quick, contact the relevant specialists to perform a craniotomy on him. If we’re any later, we might not be able to save his life."
"I understand. I can see him right now. Quickly, send me to the operating room to prepare for surgery."
As Director Xiao was shouting, they hurriedly pushed the stretcher away from there, leaving only Liu Zheng and Liu Yang behind.
The event unfolding so suddenly left Liu Yang truly at a loss. He had thought Liu Zheng was just being overly sensitive, but he hadn’t realized that his sensitivity often pointed to the real existence of an issue.
"Hmm, can I, can I ask you to take me as your apprentice?"
All of a sudden, Liu Yang voiced this request. Liu Zheng just turned to look at him, perhaps because his recent actions had completely won him over.
"Heh, why this sudden idea? Besides, your family has been in medicine for generations. Shouldn’t you take your grandfather as your master, or learn more from your own family? It seems like there wouldn’t be much for you to learn from me."
"Not that, what you just did, I saw it all clearly. What I learned from my grandfather is only some traditional Chinese medicine heritage, but in this area, our family definitely lacks ability. So, I’m sincerely asking you to accept me as your disciple, to closely follow and learn from you."
