This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Chapter 395: Is 366 the same Du Heng?

In the afternoon, Du Heng embarked on a shopping spree with his niece.When Du Heng shopped alone, he usually just strolled around for amusement.

Du Xuejing had just started school and was very focused on her studies. Coupled with her frugal nature, she rarely roamed the malls. Even during outings with her classmates, she preferred window shopping over actively buying things.

However, things were different today. With Du Heng by her side and footing the bill, she was much more generous with his money.

The same applied to Du Heng. He usually lacked a clear goal when spending money on himself, but with Du Xuejing present, there was no shortage of targets.

Was he short on cash?

No! Especially now that he didn’t have a girlfriend and had no other financial pressures, he let Du Xuejing shop to her heart’s content.

However, Du Xuejing, despite her excited exclamations, wasn’t an extravagant girl. She tended to look at many things without buying, unless she particularly liked something.

「At this time, in the Orthopedic Third Department of the First Branch Hospital affiliated with the Traditional Chinese Medicine University」

A group of people were gathered around an X-ray, observing it quietly.

Some stroked their chins, others crossed their arms, and some frowned.

An older man, constantly smiling, stood up with his teacup. "Xiao Li, I’ll leave this to you. I’m going out for a walk."

Just as he was about to leave, the only man in the room not wearing a white gown, who was very elegantly dressed, quickly spoke up, "Director Feng, you can’t leave! What will we do about Qinqin if you go?"

The old man, still smiling genially, replied, "My staying won’t make any difference. If you have any questions, ask Director Li. He’s the top surgeon in our department now. You’re better off asking him than this old fellow."

The old man continued speaking as he walked out, completely disregarding the elegantly dressed man’s words.

Once the old man left, the others also gradually departed, leaving only Director Li, a chief doctor actually over forty despite being called Xiao Li.

The elegantly dressed man sighed helplessly. "Director Li, what do you think we should do about Qinqin now?"

Director Li looked at the X-ray again. "It’s a comminuted fracture of the radius bone. Look here, and here—it’s shattered into four pieces, and the displacement of the fractured ends is quite significant. My opinion is still surgical treatment. This way, the fractured ends can be properly reduced, and then we can use a steel plate for fixation to speed up recovery."

The man’s brow furrowed, and he asked uneasily, "Can’t we opt for conservative treatment?"

"I wouldn’t recommend it." Director Li shook his head slowly. "The displacement is significant, and there are too many fragments. The results of manual reduction wouldn’t be very good. If the reduction isn’t properly aligned, the patient’s arm could heal with a deformity."

This statement made the man’s brow knit tightly. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Can the surgery be done without leaving any scars?"

"It’s impossible to avoid scars completely. After all, it will require two surgeries, so there will definitely be some scarring." Director Li looked at the man earnestly. "However, rest assured, we will do our utmost during the surgery to make the scars as small as possible. By the way, I have some materials here you can look at."

Director Li walked over to his office desk, took a stack of photos from a drawer, and said, "You can look at these. These are the scars left on patients after surgery and recovery. They’re very faint, mostly just a light red mark."

The man took the photos and looked through them, but his brow remained tightly furrowed.

After looking through all the photos, he looked at Director Li and said, "These scars are still too noticeable. You know Qinqin is an artist; she can’t always wear long-sleeved clothes, and she’s constantly under the spotlights. Any such scar would only be maliciously exaggerated by certain people. Director Li, please think of something else. Can you make the scar even fainter, ideally invisible?"

"That’s impossible. It’s impossible to prevent scarring completely. I can only say that I will do my absolute best to make the scar as faint as possible."

Director Li’s answer remained firm. This was his specialty, and he knew the likely outcome better than anyone.

The man fell silent again. After pacing on the spot for two turns, he suddenly asked, "Director Li, forgive my asking, but do you know anywhere that can perform scarless surgery?"hat prodigious really exist?

"Don’t you have any other Du Heng in your department? A Du Heng who knows bone joining?"

"No, he’s the only Du Heng in our department right now." Chu Xuwei also began to feel puzzled.

But then he suddenly remembered that Du Heng was, in fact, a general practitioner of Chinese medicine. And when they were looking into his background, it seemed he really had treated a patient with a leg fracture. Could it be that the Du Heng Director Li is looking for is actually *this* Du Heng? "Director Li, hold on. First, tell me how you know about Doctor Du."

Director Li then recounted the incident from half a month ago. "Director Chu, are you absolutely sure there’s no other Du Heng in your department? The ’Heng’ in his name is the one that means ’balance’."

Chu Xuwei pursed his lips. "Director Li, hold on a moment. I’ll ask around for you."

After saying this, Chu Xuwei hung up before Director Li could reply.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Xuwei left his office.

When Cao Binghe informed him that Du Heng hadn’t come in that afternoon, Chu Xuwei returned to his office and called Du Heng.

"Sorry to disturb you, Doctor Du. Is this a convenient time? I have something I’d like to ask you."

Du Heng and Du Xuejing were tired from their shopping and had just found a place to sit down for a drink and rest. However, before they could even get comfortable, Du Heng’s phone rang. It was Chu Xuwei.
