But his technical skills are really limited.

So he is absolutely unable to perform a tracheotomy.

Moreover, he has never practiced on a real person.

Like in the hospital, some extremely obese patients require specialists from the ENT department to perform surgery in the emergency or intensive care departments.

Now, this patient is nearly two hundred pounds at a height just over five foot three; his willpower simply cannot match his capacity.

"Ah!!!"

Jia Fengshou slapped his thigh!!

Then suddenly dashed out of the door!

"Fengshou—"

Seeing Jia Fengshou suddenly run off, Sixth Sister-in-law was dumbfounded.

Why did he run off all of a sudden!!

"Ah—, Ma'am, my skills are limited, but in fact with a patient like Uncle, even performing a tracheotomy at the town hospital would be a bit challenging. Unless absolutely necessary, it's better not to attempt it. You might need to go to the county hospital to find a specialist ENT doctor. I only graduated from a medical college. I really am sorry."

Ren Zhengcong bowed and apologized to the lady.

It's not that he didn't want to help.

It's just that he was incapable.

"How could it come to this! How could it come to this! Old Jia—"

Sixth Sister-in-law's eyes turned red.

Tears couldn't help but flow.

Because these words were almost equivalent to pronouncing a death sentence.

"Can Dr. Zhang save him!"

In the room filled only with the sound of crying, a young doctor in a white coat stood helplessly to the side when a clear and somewhat anxious voice spoke up.

"Secretary Jia, there might be hope. Go to the kitchen and get me a kitchen knife! The sharper the better!!!"

Upon entering the room and taking one look, Zhang Lingchuan answered.

"Fengshou??"

In the room, Ren Zhengcong and Sixth Aunt watched as two people suddenly rushed in.

It was the village secretary Jia Fengshou who had just run out, and a handsome young man in a black down jacket.

Because her husband wasn't well, Sixth Aunt hadn't gone to watch Zhang Lingchuan perform surgery on a cow that afternoon and didn't recognize him.

Yes.

This person was Zhang Lingchuan.

He had been eating just moments ago.

Secretary Jia suddenly said someone here couldn't breathe, something about acute epiglottitis, and was going to die, so he rushed over to have a look.

Zhang Lingchuan immediately dashed out, sprinting with Secretary Jia to the neighbor's house,

which was the home of Sixth Brother.

As soon as he arrived, Zhang Lingchuan heard the system's alert.

[Ding! Detected someone is unable to breathe due to inflamed epiglottis, entering countdown to clinical death phase, emergency rescue task activated!]

This was the prompt that popped up after arriving here.

[Precise Detection is being activated, please wait...]

The detection range of the Precise Scan is two meters.

As he approached, he directly activated the scan.

[System scan complete.]

[Patient name: Jia Zhijun.]

[Patient gender: Male.]

[Patient age: 61 years.]

[Patient condition: Persistent brain ischemia and hypoxia, patient is comatose, lips are cyanotic, cardiac arrest shock, etc.]

[Patient diagnosis: Acute epiglottitis causing airway obstruction, countdown to death will begin shortly.]

[System notice: Host, please perform a rescue as fast as possible. Successful completion of the critical rescue task will result in a reward, with a high probability of obtaining a system first-aid package. It is recommended to perform a tracheotomy immediately for ventilation and then administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve the patient's survival chances.]

The indicator was still red.

But the system indicated that the countdown to death would begin shortly.

Which means, there wasn't much time left.

And given how obese the patient was, he instructed them to fetch a kitchen knife.

"Dr. Zhang, the kitchen knife is here!"

In less than five seconds, Secretary Jia brought a kitchen knife.

Ren Zhengcong was a bit dumbfounded.

Where did Secretary Jia find such a formidable person?

He came in and immediately asked for a kitchen knife.

Yet looking at the guy's age, he didn't seem much older than himself.

This was an extremely obese person; correctly locating and cutting open the trachea isn't easy.

Such procedures usually require a specialist even at a county hospital.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, this is the veterinarian who came to our village today. Zheng Cong didn't dare to cut, so I called him to take a look!!"

Secretary Jia wiped his sweat.

A last-ditch effort to keep the patient alive.

Dr. Zhang was incredibly responsive, rushing over immediately upon hearing about the situation.

"A veterinarian?"

Sixth Sister-in-law was startled. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"No, Secretary Jia, you're endangering him by calling a veterinarian. Brother, this is an extremely obese patient, locating the trachea is not easy. If you attempt a tracheotomy and something goes wrong, you are responsible! You could even face jail!"

Ren Zhengcong, upon hearing that Secretary Jia had called a veterinarian, immediately spoke up.

Who doesn't want to save a life?

If there's even a shred of hope, you'd want to save a person.

But in the current medical landscape, doctors must also learn to protect themselves.

In fact, he had already placed himself in a risky situation earlier, although Secretary Jia vouched for him, and the lady said she wouldn't pursue any issues.

Indeed, they made those promises.

There was even video evidence.

But he knew in his heart, there was still danger.

Because what if their children later claimed they didn't agree to this and demanded compensation?

A medical accident would be inevitable.

But he still picked up the knife.

Because he also wanted to save this life.

Unfortunately, his skills were limited, and if the incision wasn't made correctly, it would be equivalent to murder.

He ultimately had to give up.

Now Secretary Jia had actually called in a veterinarian, indeed veterinarians are bold, because even with some knowledge they dare to perform various surgeries on animals.
