start with a pet store

Chapter 1029 He has never been a coward

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "It wasn't timid before this happened, at least not to this extent. So it's timid not because it's sensitive or something, but because it hurts too much..."

"Oh my God, what should I do? Can it be saved?" The owner was heartbroken. The quack doctor's misdiagnosis had done great harm to her cat.

"Of course, this is not a major operation. We will complete the examination today. We will be deprived of water and food for a few hours before the operation, and the operation can be arranged tomorrow." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"It's not a major surgery. I can't understand it. It's such an obvious stone. I can see it as soon as you pointed it out. How could our doctor misdiagnose it for such a long time?" The owner reacted and felt a little unbelievable. Dr. Lu actually said it was not a major surgery. Moreover, it took less than half an hour from the time she entered the door to the discovery of the source of the disease. What was she doing before that?

Lu Jingxing didn't want to say bad things about his colleagues, but he felt that this was a bit too much: "I guess the pet hospital you found doesn't have a machine for taking X-rays. Let me tell you, there are generally two types of pet hospitals. One is like ours, which has all kinds of machines, and the other is the community hospital you went to first, which doesn't have machines."

"Originally, it's normal not to have a machine. After all, a machine is not cheap. But some hospitals want to make money. Even though they can't find the cause of the disease, they are unwilling to let the owner go to another hospital. They keep dragging the kitten. First, they earn less for referral. Second, and most importantly, they are afraid of losing face. Their own treatment did not work, but it was cured quickly in other hospitals..." Lu Jingxing rubbed his hands after he finished speaking.

"It may offend my colleagues to say this, but I still want to say that most pet clinics are good, because to work in this field, you must love small animals very much..." He said this to the camera, and he suddenly had the idea to make an issue on this content.

This is just some scientific knowledge. Although doing so will offend many colleagues, you may be scolded by many colleagues, or even have more serious consequences.

But he has never been a coward.

He had never done so before because he felt it was unnecessary. But when he saw the kitten and its owner today, he felt that he had to tell it.

It is a good thing to use your platform to popularize science so that more small animals can suffer less from illness.

"But I want to tell my colleagues that, like this kitten, there was actually no big problem, but because a doctor didn't want to transfer the cat to another hospital and didn't want to give up that little bit of profit, the kitten and its owner suffered so much. This is not right."

"It's normal to transfer out patients with difficult and complicated diseases. For example, in our hospital, although we have complete equipment, I will still transfer out patients if I feel I can't handle the case. Although I haven't transferred a single case out so far, it's because I can handle it, but if you can't, you have to transfer it out..." Lu Jingxing finished speaking in one breath without taking a breath.

The owner nodded repeatedly: "That's the truth. I don't blame him for making money from me, but it's not okay for him to ignore the life and death of my cat just to make money. Doctor Lu, are there many such cases? Are all small hospitals like this?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "That's not the case. It usually won't be like this. For example, last time a kitten was sent here from another hospital. It needed a craniotomy. In this case, the doctor told the parents directly to transfer the kitten to our hospital because they had never seen it before. They could also conceal the best treatment plan, but the other party directly transferred the parents to our hospital, and the kitten was cured and discharged. If he had concealed it, he would definitely make more money, but that would be unfair to the kitten and the parents who trusted him. I remember that parent later gave them a banner, and I'm sure that parent would come to them for any minor illness or pain in the future. So, we are not just a one-off business when we open a pet hospital. I hope everyone can realize this."

Lu Jingxing wanted to say more, say more to the camera, but he thought about it and decided to add the video later. After all, the host was here, and he wanted to discuss this issue with his colleagues, but he couldn't create conflicts.

Seeing that he had almost finished discussing the operation with the owner, he discussed the details of the operation with him again. Then another guest came and the kitten's owner left.

Lu Jingxing was preparing to go on duty in the evening and finished recording the video from the daytime.

After the office quieted down, he started again: "I know that I may be criticized for telling these stories, but I hope that new cat parents will not make mistakes, because the little ones can't speak. If we don't speak for them, we may go too far and lose the original intention of opening the hospital. Life is short, and I think I should leave something behind. I didn't have the ability when I didn't, but now I have some ability, and I feel I have this responsibility."

"In fact, it is not difficult to treat a cat's illness. Even diseases like feline infectious peritonitis and feline panleukopenia, which used to have a mortality rate of over 90%, now have a high cure rate, not to mention diseases like stones, which are easy to find the cause of. In fact, the most feared thing is this kind of misdiagnosis, which leads to the wrong treatment direction. You may make money, but I believe you will feel bad in the end."

"The most common misdiagnoses are things like mistaking pneumonia for respiratory problems, treating mixed skin problems only for ringworm, misdiagnosing oral problems as stomatitis and pulling out a kitten's mouth full of teeth, mistaking anemia for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and feeding them random medicines, etc. We have seen too many of these. Our mistakes can be corrected, but what about the kittens that have been delayed? Those with mild symptoms may still have a chance, but some may return to their planet early..."

After recording, Lu Jingxing deleted and edited the video and then looked at it for a long time. This is a complex society and it is possible that if he doesn't do it well, he will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. With his current influence, he is not afraid of anything if he releases this, but it seems unnecessary to attract too much criticism.

After finishing it, he sent it out without discussing it with others.

I was on duty tonight. As soon as I finished recording the video and opened the office door, Ba Mao and the other little guys all ran in.

Seeing the little guys running in so unitedly, Lu Jingxing was stunned for a few seconds: "What's going on? Did you guys make an appointment?"

"Meow, ah..." Jiaziyin felt that she hadn't been intimate with him for a long time, so she kept snuggling into his arms.

Lu Jingxing simply sat on the ground, holding one in his arms and stroking one with each hand, while Zhima climbed onto his back.

This was what Situ Fang saw when he came in.

However, these little guys tonight seemed to have discussed it beforehand. Each of them occupied a position without fighting or quarreling. During the day, only Ba Mao and Xiao Zuan Feng almost had a fight. Now, not only are there the two of them, but also the couple Jia Ziyin and the lion cat, and they can all get along peacefully. Not bad, not bad. Lu Jingxing was very satisfied.

Seeing Situ Fang coming in, he was a little surprised: "Are you on duty tonight?"

Situ Fang shook his head: "No, I heard that you were on duty tonight, so I came here specially. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the dormitory alone."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, Xiaojiu was supposed to be on duty today, and his family called to ask if there was anything going on, so I took over."

"I just saw your video, and I think it's very good. This phenomenon is indeed very common. When he was with my uncle, he was often like this. There were some things that the hospital obviously couldn't handle, but he didn't want to assign them to other hospitals. Sometimes it really delayed the treatment of the disease." Situ Fang picked up the lion cat leaning on the outside, held it in his arms, and sat on the ground with Lu Jingxing.

"You have quite a lot of instruments in your store. I guess the one in the afternoon could only be considered a pet shop, not a pet hospital. Alas, this kind of thing..." Lu Jingxing shook his head.

"Indeed, in a small county town like that, there is nothing we can do. Just like the barefoot doctors in the countryside, no matter what the problem is, they will give you a butt shot first. I remember when I was a kid, I had a playmate who got too many butt shots. He was quite smart when he was young, but later he became stupid. I didn't know why, but later I thought it was because he got too many butt shots and damaged his brain." Situ Fang sighed when he thought of his playmate. Lu Jingxing raised his head and said, "It's indeed the same truth, so I actually have an idea..."

"What's the idea? Can I participate?" Situ Fang's eyes lit up when he heard it. The longer he stayed here, the more he felt that the master he found was amazing. He could do anything and even built such a big cat and dog food factory casually. It was so big.

Only after he arrived did he realize how big the two pet hospitals were, and there was also a cute pet park. He also heard that there was a bird's singing forest, which was also said to be a big project.

Moreover, even though he is so skilled, he is still willing to come and see patients in person and perform the surgery himself, which is extremely rare.

Lu Jingxing also wanted to tell him: "Our store is the most fully equipped in Longan. As far as Longan is concerned, many stores have tacitly accepted this model, that is, they will directly recommend patients with uncertain causes to be sent to us. Of course, the main reason is that we are in Longan, and most parents will have this understanding. Even if a small store can't handle it, they will come to us. Therefore, misdiagnosis like today is rare in Longan."

"But the situation in the surrounding counties, towns and villages is still very serious. After all, our machines are too expensive and ordinary pet stores really can't afford them..."

Situ Fang seemed to understand what his master meant when he heard this: "Master, do you want to go to the counties, towns, and villages to find out how to cooperate with the pet hospitals there?"

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I really have such an idea, but it is not an easy thing to do. First of all, it is not easy to get people to accept it, and secondly, it is not easy to run from place to place..."

He had this idea a long time ago, but it was not so strong before. Today he felt it too deeply.

"The Internet is so developed now, I think this is feasible, but there's generally not a lot of money to be made in this way. After all, they want to make a quick buck." Situ Fang let his shoulders droop.

"My original intention was not to make money. I just didn't want the little animals to take more detours and suffer less unnecessary pain." Lu Jingxing murmured as he looked at Jia Ziyin in his arms.

"Master, you are so great, you are my idol..." Situ Fang said passionately.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "Just because of this? This is just an idea. I have to see the response to this video first. If there are too many insults..." He smiled helplessly.

The two chatted until it was past eleven o'clock.

"You go and have a rest, I'll just keep watch." Lu Jingxing looked at the time and said to Situ Fang.

"Ding Dong..." Situ Fang was about to get up when someone outside pressed the emergency bell.

He stood up immediately, put the lion cat down and walked out.

When Lu Jingxing came out, Situ Fang had already brought people to his office.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingxing called Ba Mao and the others out and took the airline box from their owner.

"It was supposed to give birth in the next two days, but today it seemed like it had an attack and hasn't been able to give birth. At this point, I felt it was no use, so I came here directly." The owner was a woman in her forties. She was wearing pajamas and was probably getting ready to go to bed, but she still felt worried, so she hurried over.

Lu Jingxing first touched the little girl's belly, um, it was time for the baby to be born.

"Let's go do an ultrasound first, don't worry." Lu Jingxing picked up the cat and walked towards the ultrasound room.

"Doctor Lu, you must save it. It had ringworm when it was young and almost died. It was you who cured it then. You must save it this time too..." said the owner as he trotted behind Lu Jingxing.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Lu Jingxing didn't really have much impression of this little guy, but since the owner said so, it must be true. However, this was too normal. He had cured so many cats, how could he remember them all?

"The follicle is already like this, why hasn't it been born yet?" Lu Jingxing muttered while watching the ultrasound.

When the owner heard this, he immediately started to cry. As he spoke, Lu Jingxing didn't understand at all. The only thing he heard clearly was: "Can the big cat be saved?"

Situ Fang quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, you are here, don't worry, you are lucky today, our doctor Lu is here, the little guy will be fine..."

The owner then slowly stopped crying: "I know, that's why I rushed over here."

"Let's get ready to go into the operating room now. It won't work if the baby gives birth on his own. We have to do a caesarean section," said Lu Jingxing.

The owner nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, as long as I can save it."

Situ Fang followed Lu Jingxing into the operating room: "This owner looks carefree, but I didn't expect that he really loves his cat..."

While preparing anesthesia for the little guy, Lu Jingxing replied: "They really treat the little guy as their own child. Maybe they wouldn't be so nervous if they were sick, and they wouldn't necessarily go to the hospital..."
