Chapter 833: Chapter 391: Established Connections, Using Fish Skin Transplant to Save Lives (Part 2)

Dean Fu timely responded.

"Yes!"

Li Jingsheng responded concisely, only saying one word.

"Director Jia, staying here might easily put pressure on Xiaoli. I’m worried it could affect his performance. How about we wait outside, what do you think?"

"Okay!"

Director Jia nodded in agreement and went outside.

After about twenty minutes, Li Jingsheng was heard saying in the ward, "Director Hua, Madam Jia, the child’s mother, thankfully, the child’s dislocated cervical spine has been successfully repositioned."

"Wonderful, wonderful! Thank you, Dr. Li!"

Madam Jia and the child’s mother were thrilled.

"However, considering the child has had a cervical dislocation, especially the critical third and fourth vertebrae, I recommend wearing a neck brace for about a month to ensure safety."

"Dr. Li is a professional, naturally, we should listen to you. Whatever treatment is necessary, you make the decision for us."

Director Jia entered again.

This time, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Madam Jia was even more relieved.

Li Jingsheng fitted the child with the neck brace, confirming it was correct.

The child’s arm was also properly slinged.

"Alright, little one, you can get out of bed and walk now."

Li Jingsheng helped the child out of bed.

The child, though a bit unaccustomed to the neck brace, no longer had to suffer by keeping their head down. Also, during a cervical dislocation, keeping the head down without support is extremely dangerous.

In movies and TV shows, assassins often twist someone’s neck forcefully, causing them to collapse instantly.

Although exaggerated in TV shows, this method can indeed cause instant death.

Even predators instinctively know to break their prey’s cervical spine.

Applause!

Warm applause erupted in the ward.

Seeing the child smoothly getting out of bed and able to walk normally put smiles on everyone’s faces.

Director Jia approached Li Jingsheng and tightly shook his hand.

"Dr. Li, thank you for saving my grandson. If there’s anything difficult in the future, feel free to reach out to me."

"Please don’t be so formal. Being able to offer some help to ease your worries is my honor. The child’s bones are in good condition and very young, which will allow for a quick recovery. During this period, try to consume more nutritious food."

Li Jingsheng shook Director Jia’s big hand with both of his.

Although asked to reach out when needed, no contact information was provided, somewhat lacking sincerity.

More like pleasantries than genuine offers.

With the child’s treatment complete, Li Jingsheng also prepared to leave.

He bid farewell before exiting the ward.

Anyway, getting acquainted with Director Jia wasn’t a bad outcome.

But such influential figures aren’t easy to get close to.

Just having this one opportunity, the other party seemed not prepared to interact further.

Understandably, holding significant power, the other party might worry about Li Jingsheng making demands.

"Xiaoli, Xiaoli, wait a moment."

Yet, Madam Jia chased out from the ward.

"Take note of my phone number. If you face any challenges at work or in life, feel free to contact me. Old Jia is busy with meetings and other commitments, not always convenient for calls. You can call me just the same."

Madam Jia even took the time to explain briefly.

She had become astute, naturally guessing Li Jingsheng’s thoughts.

Upon hearing, Li Jingsheng felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, there’s so much complexity dealing with officials.

Seems what Director Jia said in the ward wasn’t just a formality but genuine gratitude for saving his grandson, willing for ongoing contact.

Li Jingsheng, inexperienced in dealing with such high-level figures, didn’t understand many things.

Had Director Jia not been genuinely grateful, Madam Jia wouldn’t have proactively come out and offered her personal number.

Leaving the hospital, his heart was filled with the joy of saving a life and the thrill of connecting with Director Jia.

Such important connections require great opportunities for expansion.

Knowing someone like this can easily change one’s life course.

...

The next day, he went to work at the hospital as usual.

Director Yan from Emergency approached directly.

"Dr. Li, busy, huh!"

"Not too bad, you’ve come looking for me, I assume?"

Li Jingsheng stood up to welcome, showing respect towards Director Yan.

"Our emergency department treated a homeless woman who got burned yesterday. Hearing you found her in distress, arranged with the dean, that’s how we called 120 to bring her to our hospital."

"Yes, that’s the case. The woman has a seven-year-old child, extremely pitiable. Her feet are severely burned. I figured if not treated promptly, could easily lead to severe infection, even death. How’s she now?"

Li Jingsheng secretly wondered if the woman had run away?

It’s possible.

After all, the woman’s thoughts seemed a bit peculiar.

"Upon examination, her burnt areas have gotten somewhat infected. After admission, our emergency department provided symptomatic treatment. But given the extent of the burns, she likely needs skin grafting. The rescue fund isn’t nearly enough!"

Director Yan actually came to share his grievances.

It’s truly a difficult situation to handle.

Skin grafts are costly, requiring multiple treatments.

Charitable aid usually saves lives but can’t guarantee post-surgical aesthetics.

"How much do you think is needed? Maybe I can try fundraising some money for her." Li Jingsheng, despite being somewhat known online, was considered a celebrity doctor.
