The Young Urban Doctor-Chapter 725 - The Big Problem

Chapter 725: Chapter 725 The Big Problem

For a woman, being unable to bear children is one of the greatest tragedies in life.

Although Lin Lan usually didn’t regard herself as a typical woman, she was still a woman, and she too dreamt of one day getting married and having children.

The mere thought of her uterus and ovaries having suffered severe damage, and the possibility of losing her fertility, caused her heart to sink abruptly, as if she had fallen into an ice pit. Her gaze towards Luo Ziling instantly dimmed, and then a tear rolled out from the corner of her eye.

She couldn’t control the surge of sadness and closed her eyes in resignation.

Seeing her like this, Luo Ziling was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought that Lin Lan wouldn’t be so fragile.

He sat back down on the bed, took Lin Lan’s hand, holding both of her hands in his palms, then reached out to gently tidy her disheveled hair. As Lin Lan opened her eyes again, he smiled and said, “Did you let me finish what I was saying?”

“I only said that it’s possible for you to lose fertility, not that it’s certain. With me here, it’s also possible for you to fully recover your health, and your fertility might be restored as your body heals. Fang Dongxun, whom you injured, was diagnosed by the hospital as having lost his male function, but through my treatment, he is now able to recover. Your injury isn’t the same as his; besides, as long as one ovary is functioning normally, you can still bear children, and the damage to the uterus should not be severe—I will also find a way to heal you. After a year, we should be able to judge your recovery. And if the function of the uterus can’t be restored, it’s also possible to use someone else’s uterus for pregnancy.”

Seeing Lin Lan’s expression soften slightly, Luo Ziling continued, “With me here, you don’t need to worry about anything. Look at Li Haiyang, he was declared by so many famous doctors to have no chance of functional recovery, but haven’t I been slowly restoring his health?”

“If things go well, in a few months, he should regain basic function in his hands and feet and be able to stand up again. My medical skills are very miraculous, and you’ve seen it with your own eyes. Last time, with such severe injuries, you recovered healthily in such a short time after my treatment. Within six or seven days, you were able to secretly escape while I was out gathering herbs—this time will be the same. But I’m warning you, you better not run away from me like last time. If it weren’t for my subsequent treatment last time, you might have ended up with lasting damage.”

Lin Lan’s expression softened even more, and the hand that Luo Ziling was holding twitched slightly, finally extending her fingers to gently grasp Luo Ziling’s hand.

Luo Ziling did not let go, holding her hand, intending to offer her comfort.

“You need to have confidence, as long as you have it, the likelihood of your body making a full recovery greatly increases. Rest assured, I will stay by your side these next few days, ready to treat you any time,” Luo Ziling said. He then cracked a joke, “Anyway, I’ve seen your body all over, so one more time doesn’t make a difference.”

This remark from Luo Ziling immediately made Lin Lan somewhat annoyed yet bashful, but she didn’t have the energy to be angry. She just blushed a little, glared at Luo Ziling, and then closed her eyes again.

“Do you feel the urge to urinate?” Luo Ziling resumed his doctor’s role and asked Lin Lan softly.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Lan nodded lightly.

“Why don’t you try to hold it a bit longer,” Luo Ziling knew he had encountered a difficult issue in treatment.

Lin Lan was in such a condition that she couldn’t urinate on her own and needed to be catheterized.

But he didn’t know how to catheterize, so he couldn’t help Lin Lan with this problem.

However, he had already thought of this issue and had come up with a solution. He planned to ask Li Mingxun for help.

To borrow a nurse skilled in catheterization from Li Mingxun to assist with the situation.

Thus, he quickly urged Lin Lan to sleep a bit more, saying he’d get some medicine and call someone to help, so she shouldn’t worry about anything.

After pressing a few acupoints to help her sleep, Luo Ziling immediately called Shanque to wake up and have her keep watch.

Shanque naturally agreed, telling Luo Ziling to go ahead with his task.

Luo Ziling made a call to Li Mingxun as he was leaving the hotel, explaining the situation.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s request for a nurse to assist with catheterization, Li Mingxun agreed readily, stating that he would have the head nurse from his department come over to help immediately.

Luo Ziling asked Yang Xiaodong to go and pick up the head nurse.

Just as Luo Ziling had returned to his dormitory to pick up some items and come back, the head nurse arranged by Li Mingxun was already waiting in the hotel lobby. After Luo Ziling briefly explained the situation, the head nurse, who looked to be only about thirty years old, was completely taken aback.

She couldn’t understand why, if the patient was so severely injured, they wouldn’t be taken to a hospital but instead were staying in a hotel.

Luo Ziling didn’t go into too much detail, only mentioning that it was inconvenient to stay in the hospital, and he had no other requests except hoping she could help with the catheterization.

Luo Ziling also hoped that the head nurse could teach him the technique of catheterization.

This technique was not recorded in traditional medicine; although Luo Ziling had learned about it through reading Western medical books, he had never actually performed it.

But he still planned on learning, so he hoped that the head nurse named Zhu Liqin could help and teach him.

Seeing how handsome Luo Ziling was, Zhu Liqin promptly agreed, saying he could watch during the catheterization process and if Luo Ziling wished, he could come to their department to learn, and she would teach him personally.

The catheterization techniques for male and female patients vary due to differences in urethral structures.

To healers, performing these tasks is not a matter of gender, and the necessary actions in treatment carry no shame or hesitation. Thus, when two people studying medicine discussed this, there were no reservations.

Nature responded that he would stand aside and watch during the process and would visit the hospital to learn this technique when the opportunity arose.

However, Luo Ziling immediately felt embarrassed because performing catheterization for a patient truly was a technically demanding task that completely invaded the patient’s privacy.

Although he had seen Lin Lan’s body a few times, watching Zhu Liqin perform the catheterization still made him somewhat uneasy.

But in the end, he watched the entire procedure and committed the key points to memory.

This was a very basic and extremely important medical skill, which had nothing to do with being sleazy, suggestive, or vulgar.

When Zhu Liqin left, Luo Ziling took her contact information, saying that if he had the time, he would come to her to learn some routine treatment techniques — like catheterization, bladder, and cyst puncturing — which he felt were his weaker skills.

While Luo Ziling’s medical skills were exceptional, they were limited to what his grandfather had taught, and wherever his grandfather had not ventured or lacked expertise was also his shortcoming. He now realized that his grandfather was absolutely right to have him learn Western medicine, as integrating Western and Chinese medicine would certainly enhance his medical skills greatly.

Lin Lan didn’t wake up during the catheterization; she woke up about half an hour after Zhu Liqin left, around midday.

Seeing a urine bag hanging in front of the bed and Luo Ziling standing by her side, she understood the situation and immediately blushed.

“Hehe, there’s no need to be embarrassed. It’s a necessity for treatment, and we can’t be concerned with these details. At worst, when you’ve recovered, you can hit me a few times to get even,” Luo Ziling chuckled as he cracked a few jokes.

As a result, Lin Lan simply rolled her eyes.
