Chapter 499: Chapter 499: What Are the Chances of Saving the Patient?

The patient was quickly sent to the blood purification center.

Wang Chenning saw Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofei and hurried over. "You two should head back for now. The treatment today will likely last until the early hours of the morning!"

Without waiting for the two women to react, he jogged off, following the gurney.

Zhao Xiao’an had secretly filmed a short video and taken a few photos of the scene just now, when the young girl’s parents knelt and begged Wang Chenning to save her.

She also took a photo of Wang Chenning jogging away after the gurney, carrying his medical kit.

Right in front of Yang Xiaofei, she posted on Weibo.

After explaining the situation, she added her own comment: "She’s at an age in full bloom; no one can bear to watch the Grim Reaper take her away like this. Let’s all pray for a miracle. We hope our incredibly heroic Teacher Wang can surprise us all once again!"

Zhao Xiao’an’s Weibo post immediately attracted a great deal of attention.

Upon hearing it was paraquat poisoning, many people immediately looked up information on it. They quickly learned that this type of poisoning was considered virtually untreatable.

Many people expressed their sorrow for the ignorant and impulsive young girl. They said that after drinking so much of the poison, not even a divine doctor could save her. In the end, her parents could only watch helplessly as her life faded away, and she herself could only silently feel her life slipping from her body.

The medical staff would be equally powerless, only able to minimize her suffering as she approached death.

But even more people, just like Zhao Xiao’an, were hoping for a miracle.

After all, Wang Chenning had performed many miracles before.

"Teacher Wang, you’re the best! You can definitely perform a miracle!"

"Teacher Wang, we hope that after the treatment today, you can share the patient’s condition with us so we can witness your miracle as it happens."

"Teacher Wang, if you successfully save this girl’s life, I think you’ll deserve the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this alone!"

While the internet was buzzing with activity, Wang Chenning was already in the blood purification center, treating the girl.

Before starting the blood purification, Wang Chenning had the girl take one of his specially made pills. Then, he performed acupuncture on several acupoints, focusing on her chest and lung area, to prevent the poison from attacking her vital organs like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain.

During the blood purification process, he didn’t take any particular action. He simply sat by the girl’s side, observing the changes in her vital signs.

On the way to the blood purification center, Wang Chenning had sent a message to Wu Jingyi, explaining the situation and telling her to bring the others to observe his treatment.

While Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofei were waiting outside the blood purification center, Wu Jingyi arrived with Chang Qingfeng, Zhang Manxin, and Lin Qingyan.

After greeting Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an, they changed into scrubs and entered the blood purification center.

Once they were inside, Wang Chenning first explained the situation to them, then shared his treatment strategy.

The pill he had given the girl possessed a powerful detoxification function.

However, its antidotal effects were not particularly effective against paraquat poisoning on their own; subsequent treatments were still required.

Wang Chenning explained the crucial points of the intensive treatment to them. The goal was to interrupt the poison’s circulation before its concentration could build up in her organs.

Then, they would use blood purification to eliminate most of the toxins.

Finally, their treatment would focus on neutralizing the poison’s toxic effects on her organs.

The final key to the treatment was to use acupuncture to concentrate the body’s strongest defensive substances in each organ. This would rapidly detoxify and protect them. Complemented by the medication, the plan was to completely clear the poison before its toxicity could take full effect.

Although the principle was relatively simple, actually achieving the desired result was extremely difficult.

After all, the patient had ingested a large amount of the poison. This substance could be absorbed even through skin contact, to say nothing of the gastrointestinal tract’s incredibly powerful absorption capabilities.

To put the patient in the best possible response state, Wang Chenning had already hypnotized her during the initial treatment.

This way, only the medical staff around them could hear their conversation, preventing any impact on the patient’s emotional state.

The blood purification was a slow process, ending more than two hours later.

While waiting for the blood purification to finish, Wang Chenning sent another message to Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an. He told them the first phase of treatment would take at least another three hours, so they should go home and rest. They could talk tomorrow if there was anything to discuss.

After sending the message, he paid them no more mind and focused entirely on the treatment.

This time, Wang Chenning was not performing the treatment alone; he had several of his disciples assisting him.

There were too many acupoints that needed needling. He also hoped they could gradually master the key principles of his profound acupuncture techniques. Therefore, he entrusted them with the needling of less critical acupoints, which freed him up to focus on the vital areas.

The follow-up treatment wasn’t conducted back in the emergency room but was instead carried out in the relatively quiet blood purification center.

This subsequent treatment lasted nearly two hours. During the procedure, the girl’s body was completely uncovered, because the acupuncture would cause her to sweat profusely, and the sweat also contained the poison.

To prevent secondary absorption of the poison, the sweat had to be wiped away immediately.

It was a good thing Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an weren’t there, or it would have been very awkward for them.

By the end of the treatment, Wang Chenning was also drenched in sweat, as were his disciples.

"The patient’s vital signs are temporarily stable!" After the treatment ended and he had checked the patient again, Wang Chenning instructed the blood purification center to notify the emergency room to have the patient admitted to the nephrology department, which was closest to the center.

In another two hours, he would treat the patient again.

As they were taking the patient to her ward, one of the doctors who had participated in the initial rescue couldn’t help but quietly ask Wang Chenning, "Director Wang, what are the odds of her pulling through?"

"Ninety-nine percent!"
