Chapter 119: Severe Hernia, Desperate Kicking, Brick Anesthesia, Old Zhang's Admiration!!_2
"Right now, our pig farmer Boss Meng is fixing up the second brother with the help of a kind-hearted neighbor. As you can see, the hernia has already grown to the size of a small balloon. Let me take this opportunity to educate everyone as well."
During the securing process.
Zhang Lingchuan casually touched the hernia on the second brother's belly, which was balloon-like.
And started educating the viewers.
"Generally speaking, pig umbilical hernias are divided into incarcerated hernias and reducible hernias. Incarcerated hernias are usually smaller and pose a greater threat to pigs. In later stages, it may cause depression, increased heart rate, cyanosis of visible mucous membranes, and even shock—simply speaking, it strangulates the intestines. On the other hand, reducible hernias are like the ones now, large and balloon-like, sometimes as big as a head. These generally don't affect life, but they look alarming and can't gain weight well. However, if the umbilical hernia gets so big that it drags on the ground and rubs open, then it's certainly over."
Facing the camera.
Zhang Lingchuan differentiated between incarcerated hernias and reducible hernias for everyone.
Of course, these words were mainly for new pig farmers to hear.
And some veterinary students.
"Explained really thoroughly, I didn't know hernias have so many types."
"Taking notes now. Coincidentally, today's topic was hernias, and I witnessed a vivid practical lesson with Dr. Zhang."
"Honestly, we don't really manage big belly buttons at our pig farm; they generally survive but just don't fatten up—at most around 230 pounds. We have over 4,000 pigs and simply can't handle them."
"Feeling like hernias that big are hard to survive. 99% usually die because pigs won't quietly wait to get fat; they'll keep rubbing. If the umbilical hernia ruptures and the intestines get scraped, it's hopeless."
"So that's the disease. My brother's pig farm loses twenty or thirty of these big-bellied pigs every year! When I was young, I thought it was possessed, especially after watching ghost movies with eerie fetuses, it scared the hell out of me."
...
As Zhang Lingchuan's words ended.
Viewers immediately responded.
Some even shared their own stories.
"Who would have thought this kid explains things in such detail."
Old Zhang, standing by, expressed differently after listening to Zhang Lingchuan.
Honestly, it was the first time he watched his son live-streaming.
"Uncle Zhang, you have no idea. Teacher Zhang's stream has many farmers and even lots of veterinarians watching. Many people really enjoy his streaming style, saying they could write the correct answers in exams because of it."
Chen Qian chimed in immediately.
She wasn't making this up.
She indeed saw similar comments.
The viewer, a veterinary student, expressed gratitude to Dr. Zhang for explaining the surgical procedures in detail during the stream, allowing them to answer correctly in multiple-choice questions.
"Oh! So how many followers does he have now, doing this for so long?"
Zhang Zhenghai curiously looked at Chen Qian.
He himself doesn't use platforms like TikTok.
So he wasn't aware of the number of followers.
"Right now? Probably over 700,000 followers. The highest live stream viewership reached 80,000, ranking twelfth on the one-day chart and twelfth overall in the competition chart."
Chen Qian glanced at her phone and replied.
"What? Over 700,000 followers! 80,000 people are watching this now! And ranked twelfth overall?"
Zhang Zhenghai was in disbelief.
Looks like this kid has really made it.
The thing he said in the hospital yesterday.
Not wanting to be a human doctor but a veterinarian seems pretty credible.
Indeed.
Compared to the complexity of human medicine.
Veterinary medicine is much simpler.
The only thing is that controlling pigs requires some effort.
"Oink oink oink—"
"Hold it down!!"
The four of them were pressing down on the pig.
Each giving it their all.
And as a veterinarian, Zhang Zhenghai's blood was boiling inside.
He still wanted to go up and lend a hand.
But his foot wasn't fully healed.
Don't look at it as just a small pig.
But its strength is not something ordinary people can withstand.
"Anyone who has held down a pig knows that the fixation process is the hardest. It basically takes the effort of a whole surgery, and the next day your whole hand is sore."
In the camera.
Each of the four people was holding one pig leg.
And Zhang Lingchuan half-complained.
Back when he was in college, he helped hold down pigs too; they really kicked hard!
"Dr. Zhang was right. We handled one before and my hand was sore the next day."
"Just did one of 150 pounds a few days ago, almost couldn't hold it down."
"Pick up a brick, physically stabilize it!!"
"Hahaha, I think more nonsensical humor from Dr. Zhang would be good. I like it anyway."
"Live streaming is about continuously forging your own path."
For a moment.
Quite a few viewers related to the experience.
After all, those who come to the stream.
Many are related to veterinarians.
Either farmers, students, or those interested or have experience with animals at home.
[Dr. Zhang's daily live stream viewership: 90,101.]
[Veterinary daily live streaming competition heat list NO·12.]
The highest viewership for the live stream also reached 90,000 people.
And the surgery hadn't even started yet.
Chen Qian, Song Wanqing, and others looked at today's live stream data, excitement gleaming in their eyes.
If today's stream keeps up the excitement level like the last time,
it might even break through to 250,000 or even 300,000 viewers.
"Alright, the pig is now pretty much secured, laying belly-up. Next, we'll put on disposable gloves. To be more formal, you could wear a full-body protective suit, but it's unnecessary here."
