185: Doctor or mage? Is this a field that doctors can understand?
Chapter 185: A Doctor or a Mage? Is This Within a Doctor's Comprehension!
[Tip: Due to bile reflux, the patient's ampulla of Vater has developed a malignant tumor. It must be eradicated immediately.]
The system's prompt appeared again, confirming the diagnosis was entirely correct, and Lin Yi's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed.
This incision was a matter of life and death... If the judgment was correct, Lin Yi's diagnostic ability and surgical experience would be elevated to a new level.
He could discover tumors that no one else had found, and accurately pinpoint their location, even when everyone else was pessimistic. Just this insight alone put him ahead of all the Expert Professors.
However, if there was a mistake in judgment, leading to an unnecessary surgery for the patient, and without the consent of the patient's family, then even if no significant actual harm was caused to the patient, the minor consequence would be suspension and disciplinary action, while the severe consequence could be immediate dismissal! These are all very normal operations!
..."This... how is this possible!"
"To be able to diagnose a tumor in the patient's ampulla of Vater based solely on experience, what kind of divine operation is this?"
"pancreatic cancer only has a slim chance of being cured in its early stages. Missing today's bold discovery by the chief surgeon will greatly reduce the patient's chances of survival!"
"I just want to know why Doctor Lin Yi made such an accurate judgment. It's too incredible..."
When the patient's ampulla of Vater was clearly displayed on the large screen in the observation room, various Expert Professors erupted in gasps of astonishment.
Everything they saw completely overturned their understanding.
What about the promised scientific surgery and scientific treatment? How should the chief surgeon's intuition be explained?
If this kind of intuition could also be replicated, it would simply be an unprecedented miracle in medical history... Their previous doubts were entirely based on the patient's pre-operative examination reports and the most accurate analysis derived from experience.
Whether it was B-ultrasound or CT scans, no examination report indicated the possibility of a malignant tumor in the patient's ampulla of Vater.
This was also the root cause of everyone's insistence on closing the abdomen and not changing the surgical plan.
But now, the appearance of tumors, each the size of a soybean, felt like several stinging slaps across everyone's faces.
No one would be a Monday morning quarterback, but they had to admire Lin Yi's unique and astute vision...
"Director Cui, I once again offer my sincere apologies for my ignorance just now!"
"If it weren't for the chief surgeon's persistence, if it weren't for your unreserved trust..."
"Because of my ignorance, the patient would have faced an unbearable life-threatening danger..."
Professor Zhong Wei resolutely stood before Director Cui and bowed deeply to him, expressing his apology.
He had always prided himself on prioritizing the patient, placing their life and safety above all else.
But now, what had he done?
He had ignorantly tried to prevent the chief surgeon from changing the surgical plan. If he had succeeded, a fresh life would have been indirectly ruined by his hands.
Fortunately, both the chief surgeon and Director Cui firmly adhered to their views, which relieved the guilt in his heart...
"Even if the diagnosis is correct, what then?"
"The complexity of tumors on the Pancreas is many times greater than those on the gallbladder."
"Not to mention whether the chief surgeon's handling of the gallbladder tumor was thorough, how will the tumors on the Pancreas be dealt with?"
"Completely remove the patient's Pancreas? Besides extending the patient's survival period, what quality of life would there be left..."
Fang Zhuqing didn't mind splashing a basin of icy cold water on the Expert Professors in the observation room.
Confirming the patient's condition is the simplest part of the entire diagnostic process.
With the rapid development of medical technology, except for some very complex and difficult diseases, these common diseases can always be detected by instruments with more examinations.
Being able to detect it does not mean being able to cure it. No matter how much modern medicine develops, the number of diseases that can be completely cured is still extremely limited.
What's more, for pancreatic cancer, known as the 'King of Cancers,' there are basically no particularly effective treatment methods...
The head of the Pancreas, where the ampulla of Vater is located, already shows obvious tumors, which at least means that the entire Pancreas tissue has been completely infiltrated by cancer cells.
The gallbladder treatment method of scraping the gallbladder to remove cancer is clearly not applicable to the Pancreas, the most important internal and external secretory organ in the human body...
"Professor Fang's words are very reasonable. What should be the next course of treatment?"
"This is pancreatic cancer, the king of cancers, an incurable disease!"
"Before it spreads throughout the body, quickly discuss with the family and proceed with surgical removal. A reduced quality of life is better than losing one's life..."
Fang Zhuqing's reasonable analysis immediately calmed the Expert Professors in the observation room.
Everyone brainstormed and analyzed the most appropriate treatment plan to be adopted next.
But from everyone's experience and knowledge, it seemed the chief surgeon had no better choice than to remove the Pancreas...
"I still hold the same opinion. Let's first observe how the chief surgeon handles it."
"I can reveal a little to everyone: Ning Yumei, the Director of the Medical Administration Department of the Long Province Health Department, has been definitively diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is currently in the Emergency Department receiving radical treatment from Doctor Lin Yi..."
Watching Lin Yi, who had already resolutely begun to remove the tumor in the operating room, Director Cui not only had no intention of stopping him but also used facts to support Lin Yi.
It was an inexplicable trust that made him firmly believe that Lin Yi could perfectly resolve the patient's pancreatic cancer.
Although it sounded a bit like a fantasy, Lin Yi's repeated unexpected performances made Director Cui have no choice but to believe it deeply...
"Pan... pancreatic cancer can also be cured?"
"Director Cui, with your status, you absolutely cannot speak such nonsense!"
"If there really is a technology that can even conquer pancreatic cancer, what kind of concept is that? Unimaginable..."
"Is this guy a doctor or a mage? Is this still a field that human doctors can normally comprehend?..."
His words were so shocking they wouldn't stop!
Ever since all the Expert Professors entered this observation room, their shocked nerves were almost unable to keep up with the reactions.
That gallbladder cancer could be radically cured while preserving the gallbladder, they could tolerate that, after all, the impact on quality of life after gallbladder removal was not too great.
But damn it, now, even for pancreatic cancer, the king of cancers, Central Hospital had already developed a radical cure technology. This discipline had advanced to a completely incomprehensible level...
"There's a saying, 'A mule or a horse, take it out for a walk!'"
"Let's just quietly watch Doctor Lin Yi's performance..."
Director Cui proudly pointed at Lin Yi in the operating room and said with immense pride.
The path had been laid out for Lin Yi, and she firmly believed that Lin Yi would live up to her trust...
