When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: The Issue of Cesarean Section and Natural Childbirth!

“Hello, police comrade! I found a foot in the trash can of Dongyang Province’s Second People’s Hospital!”

A call for help broke the tranquility of the hospital.

The Criminal Police Department immediately dispatched personnel to investigate.

Zhang Keqin glanced at Wu Gang and couldn’t help but say, “Wu, be careful. It’s the end of the year, and we can’t afford any incidents!”

Wu Gang was the rising star of the Criminal Police Department, bold in action and daring to venture where others might not.

This made Zhang Keqin somewhat worried.

“Yes, Captain, I have it under control!”

At 11 o’clock that night, the police car set out and arrived at the hospital.

An old man had made the report, eighty years old, hospitalized in the cardiology department, and due to be discharged tomorrow. Tonight, he and his wife were packing up their belongings.

After a walk downstairs in the evening, when he went to throw away the trash, he suddenly discovered a foot!

Immediately, the old man was so scared that he almost had another heart attack!

Once he calmed down, he quickly called the police.

Zhang Keqin and his team promptly opened an investigation into the case.

Could this be another “dismemberment case”?

Thinking this, everyone unconsciously tensed up, worried.

The year-end really did bring trouble!

The first step was to check the surveillance, and Qin Xiaoyuan was called up late at night.

After all, how could anyone sleep when a major incident had occurred in the hospital?

He quickly got up and headed to the surveillance room.

The hospital’s trash was cleaned out every day at around 9 o’clock in the morning.

According to the forensic expert’s assessment, the foot couldn’t have been there for more than six hours from the time of discovery.

The hospital immediately reviewed the surveillance footage.

Persistence pays off, and soon enough, they found that around six in the evening, a middle-aged woman had thrown something in a broken bag into the trash can!

The woman was plump with wavy hair, looking quite ordinary; how could she be the murderer?

Without delay, they started to investigate the woman!

Around 1 o’clock in the morning, the police found the woman, not elsewhere but right there in the hospital, in the orthopedics department!

When she saw the police, she was startled.

The on-duty doctor also became very nervous after learning about it, as having the Criminal Police Department visit in the middle of the night was no small matter.

Only after a thorough investigation did they find out…

The woman had disposed of her husband’s right foot!

Her husband had an accident, resulting in the amputation of his right foot. Initially, the family wanted to keep it, believing in respecting one’s body as a gift from one’s parents.

However, after bringing it home, they found it too unsettling and, after discussing it, decided to dispose of it.

The woman was too embarrassed, so she decided to throw it into the hospital’s trash can under cover of night.

Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded.

In the middle of the night… had they just heard a humorous story?

Even the woman was somewhat embarrassed, apologizing repeatedly.

This special kind of “medical waste” really shouldn’t be carelessly discarded, as it easily causes public safety issues.

Thankfully, this didn’t happen during the day, or it would have caused a panic.

After giving the woman a stern lecture, everyone had no choice but to head back.

This absurd incident was just too exasperating.

The next day, word of the event spread throughout the entire hospital.

Feeling helpless, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately called a meeting to instruct the medical staff to be more alert and to handle medical waste with care!

He also emphasized informing patients and their families not to dispose of medical waste carelessly.

After all, if patients tossed things like needles or other potentially contagious items into the trash bins, cleaning staff could easily get scratched during cleanup, which at best leads to bleeding and at worst could transmit diseases.

With only a day or two left before the New Year, everyone was busy with festive preparations; the hospital was not very busy, apart from the emergency department, as no one wanted to spend New Year’s in the hospital.

Many doctors were taking their leaves one after another.

But not all diseases can be postponed.

Some things, you can’t delay them even if you wanted to, nor can you hurry them!

Like childbirth!

The Zhang Yuejia family was restlessly waiting in the ward for the doctor’s diagnosis!

“Doctor, can she give birth now?” a sixty-year-old aunt asked anxiously.

“Exactly! It’s the Year of the Pig now, what a great time to have a baby. Before we know it, it’ll be the Year of the Rat. I’ve had someone calculate it, if the child is born in the Year of the Pig, they’re destined for wealth and smooth sailing!”

“That’s right, doctor, you’ve got to help us!”

Seeing his mother and mother-in-law both saying this, all three men were at a loss for words.

“Can’t you stop being so superstitious? What era are we living in that you’re still clinging to such superstitions? The safety of mother and child is more important than anything else!” the pregnant woman’s father-in-law couldn’t help but say.

The pregnant woman’s husband also nodded, looking at Zhang Yan and saying, “Exactly, exactly, the safety of mother and child is the most important thing! In case of any trouble, prioritize safety!”

Looking at this family, Zhang Yan also felt helpless.

The pregnant woman had already reached her due date; everyone was prepared for the baby to come any day now as the contractions were getting stronger, clearly indicating the onset of labor.

However, the bedside ultrasound had just revealed some issues with the positioning of the twins.

The family huddled together, discussing this.

Both families had only one child, so for these two babies, their expectations and joy were beyond measure.

But the most troublesome thing for Zhang Yan was that if the pregnant woman had a Cesarean delivery, she was simply too overweight.

Generally speaking, there is a time limit for a Cesarean section.

What does that mean?

It means that if a Cesarean is to be performed, it needs to be completed within a matter of minutes, usually four.

Because if it takes longer than that, the anesthetic can enter the baby’s body.

Don’t underestimate this anesthetic!

The dose of anesthetic used is enough to kill an unborn infant.

Therefore, it is generally required to extract the baby within four minutes of administering anesthesia.

But…

If the woman is too fat, the initial dosage of anesthetic required is quite high.

Anesthetics are calculated based on body weight, amongst other considerations, of course.

But weight is a significant factor!

The more anesthetic used, the greater the risk to the child.

Furthermore…

If the pregnant woman is too overweight, the difficulty of the Cesarean surgery increases.

As a result, the risk to the child increases yet again under these difficult circumstances.

And now!

In such a challenging scenario, the pregnant woman had added another layer of difficulty: twins!

Zhang Yan was feeling utterly dismayed at this point.

A Cesarean wasn’t an option; it had to be a natural birth!

With natural birth, the risks weren’t as high, but now… with the problem of the baby’s positioning, she worried it could affect the child.

Never assume natural birth is without risks; many children due to positioning issues, can even sustain severe injuries like liver rupture and compression damage during birth.

These are all possibilities!

What to do?

At this moment, the pregnant woman began to grow anxious.

“No, no! Doctor, I’m really going into labor… I’m not lying this time!”

Zhang Yan, feeling helpless, thought to herself that this must be the seventy-second time, right?

With that thought, she glanced over at the nursing station, “Xiao Yue, contact the director.”
