Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Twitching Eyelids, Utter Devotion, Oh My God!!
"Huh? What? Dr. Zhang, you can’t possibly say I’ve had a brain hemorrhage and gotten confused too!"
Boss He’s eyes firmly fixed on Zhang Lingchuan.
He hasn’t been to the brothel, hasn’t gambled, and has been abstinent for twenty years. He sleeps early and rises early every day, only wanting to make money!
Could it be that Old Zhang’s son also wants to check his health?
Qing County isn’t very big.
He doesn’t even scroll through Douyin.
He doesn’t know what’s happening in Shili Town.
But his nephew just mentioned it.
The guy can not only tell if someone is pregnant, but also if someone is infected with syphilis, having a brain hemorrhage, and even that other stuff several times. He’s said he can perform surgeries without causing any pain, which sounds rather mystical.
This time, they came to debunk the myth.
He wouldn’t comment on these knowledge blind spots.
But when it comes to cattle.
After all, he’s been raising them for over a decade.
Not as skilled as a veterinarian, but he knows a thing or two.
How could someone possibly feel the outside of a belly and tell there’s a stillbirth? Even his dad, Old Zhang, can’t do that!
Or mention something about a C-section!
That’s simply a joke.
The cost of a C-section for a cow is the same as natural childbirth?
Some veterinarians are pretty unscrupulous!
"You are indeed confused, but not because of a brain hemorrhage, rather because you don’t trust me since I’m young, and you’re stubbornly suspicious that I’m trying to rip you off. Let’s just say, Boss He, you’re an experienced cattle farmer, so tell me, how old is this cow?"
Zhang Lingchuan saw the deep distrust in the other’s eyes.
It didn’t matter.
If he wouldn’t listen, he could just leave.
"Now exactly two and a half years old."
Talking about age.
Boss He looked a bit unnatural.
"There you go. First, your cow got bred too early. Normally, cows start breeding at two and a half to three years old to produce strong calves, but this cow is giving birth at just two and a half years old. Considering the buffalo’s pregnancy is about ten and a half months, it was bred at just over a year and a half, not even two years old. Its organs are still not fully developed, and the birth canal is narrow, with even the pelvic bone somewhat congenitally underdeveloped."
Zhang Lingchuan explained.
Generally speaking, a cow’s body stops developing once it becomes pregnant.
First-time births are highly prone to complications, and he bred early, skyrocketing the labor difficulty.
"This..."
Logically presented, Boss He couldn’t argue.
"Secondly, look at this small body with such a large belly; it’s clearly a case of fetal gigantism. Additionally, it’s a breech birth, with the head inside and the hind legs outside. After three hours of difficult labor, it has probably suffocated. Trying to force a natural birth might tear the cow open, and you’d end up with one dead cow and calf."
Honestly speaking.
The system is merely icing on the cake.
As a veterinarian, he could have reached this conclusion even without the system.
"Ah! The calf is already dead! How could this happen!!"
Boss He panicked and was shocked.
After all, a cow plus a calf is worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan.
Now the calf is dead, and if the cow dies too, he’d lose half a year’s income.
"Yes, it’s very likely dead, and I suspect it’s a deformed fetus; the head seems strange, it might even have two heads."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded.
Simultaneously, he mentioned the suspicion of deformity.
"Two heads!!"
Not only was Boss He shocked,
but all the medical students present were stunned!
So were Chen Qian and others from the Integrated Media Center.
Suggesting a breech birth suffocation is logical.
But mentioning a deformity, even two heads, seems a bit absurd!
What the hell!
Can he see through the cow’s belly?
"Little Beast Doctor: Two-headed calf? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The earlier diagnoses could be made through reality and experience, and deformity is even guessable, but claiming a two-headed calf without reaching in to feel is too far-fetched. It can’t be done! So don’t get excited; as a vet graduate from Agricultural University, I swear he’s probably just stirring things up!"
"Pet Doctor Xiaoyu: I’ve been following this account since Dr. Zhang’s first live stream, and from my experience, Dr. Zhang is indeed joking around."
"Veterinarian Station Worker: As a veteran veterinarian, Dr. Zhang’s judgments are generally correct, and from these judgments, one can discern the C-section motive, possibly even guess the deformity with a 50% chance without touching, but calling a two-headed calf without feeling it is indeed a jest—everyone, please don’t get too agitated."
...
When netizens in the live broadcast room heard about a two-headed calf,
it was like water brought to a boil.
They tagged all the veterinarians feverishly.
And the number of people in the live room reached a new high.
It reached twelve hundred.
The popularity rankings broke into the top 99.
Then, the veterinarians responded one by one.
First, they affirmed the speculation and C-section motives, and even the deformity, but all veterinary practitioners thought claiming a two-headed calf without a tactile check was just joking, stirring up buzz.
On-site.
"Dr. Zhang! Help me with the C-section!!"
Boss He was persuaded, and the doubt in his dim old eyes vanished!
He spoke up excitedly.
"Brother Zhang! The medical kit is here!!"
After a while, Ah Wei brought the medical kit.
"Lusheng’s vitality has improved quite a bit, envy ah."
Seeing the other’s rejuvenated look, some viewers even jested.
"Alright, friends in the live stream, we’re about to perform a C-section. The first step is shaving and prepping the skin."
Zhang Lingchuan opened the medical kit and spoke to the camera.
"Dr. Zhang, I’m Bright Star, a frequent viewer of your streams and a nurse at Qing County People’s Hospital. Why don’t I assist you as a scrub nurse!!"
At this moment, a familiar face from the Qing County People’s Hospital Emergency Department appeared on camera, offering her help.
Yet, no one expected Dr. Zhang would accept her offer to be his scrub nurse!!
Indeed, being proactive brings handsome companions!!
Instantly causing envy among the two or three other nurses present!
"The C-section is performed from the left side of the abdomen, and it doesn’t require general anesthesia for the cow, just partial injections for local anesthesia."
Zhang Lingchuan explained while prepping the skin of the cow.
While introducing to the audience.
After a while, he adhered to sterile procedures and pulled out the anesthetic, injecting at the prepped spot.
This is the scene the medical students had been eager to see. Adding to it, the cow was standing, and they all gathered around.
Yet, they were aware enough.
They left the best spot for the camera handled by Song Wanqing.
As for why she didn’t step up as a scrub nurse.
She simply said:
There are professionals present, what would an amateur like her do.
Furthermore, having a human nurse serve as a scrub nurse for a vet is even more intriguing.
"Once this step is done, we’ll proceed with the operation! It might get a bit bloody, so those who are squeamish might want to look away!"
The anesthetic took effect.
The crowd saw Zhang Lingchuan pick up the scalpel.
[Righteousness guides in heart clear, evil practice meets justice’s spear.]
[Warning! The host detected currently lacks relevant credentials to perform a C-section, classified as a secondary surgery on the cow. Avoid risking medical malpractice for profit that leads to the cow’s death and the task’s failure. Dialing 120 for urgent transfer to a third-grade hospital is optimal.]
Just after the scalpel was applied.
The system alert pinged again.
Calling him unscrupulous and unethical in practice.
Even mentioning the lack of surgical credentials.
The upgrade seems to keep getting more robust after all.
Unfortunately, as a veterinarian, he is certified!!
"Boss He, Xiaohong, put on the gloves too."
He cut open.
The cow’s abdomen exposed.
Dark red beef unveiled to all.
Water dripped from the belly, trickling onto the ground.
After a while, everyone saw Dr. Zhang skillfully flipping out a pale calf hoof.
"Come! Help pull it out!!"
He directed them, pulling the calf’s hoof outward from the abdomen, finally bringing the calf out.
"Whoa!!"
"My god!"
"Damn!!"
"Ah——"
"Hiss——"
...
The moment the calf emerged, the variety of human reactions was apparent.
On-site, not only those helping with the calf, including Boss He, Chen Qian, and the media center’s crew, their eyes twitched uncontrollably!
With hair-raising intensity!
For they had witnessed a scene unforgettable in a lifetime!
