188: Why should a patient with thoracic surgery undergo surgery in the emergency department?

Chapter 188: Why Should a Thoracic Surgery Patient Have Surgery in the Emergency Department?!

"What's the matter, Teacher Lu? Please tell me."

Lin Yi's face also grew serious. Given Lu Chenxi's strong personality, she wouldn't be this anxious unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Wang Baoguo, the patient with syphilitic Heart disease, has suddenly experienced an emergency. If he doesn't undergo surgery immediately, there's a risk of death at any moment..."

Lu Chenxi patiently explained the general situation the patient was facing.

Just as Lin Yi was performing surgery on the gallbladder cancer patient, Wang Baoguo in the ward suddenly fell into a coma. Although emergency rescue efforts temporarily saved the patient's life, the acute flare-up of the patient's late-stage syphilis meant that the coronary artery ostium was almost completely blocked.

If emergency surgery wasn't performed, death was possible at any time.

After quickly communicating with the patient's family, Lu Chenxi decided to suspend the anti-syphilis treatment and proceed with Heart surgery immediately.

Lu Chenxi herself was fully capable of performing an aortic valve insufficiency replacement, but the coronary artery ostium blockage had to be handled by Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi hadn't proposed the plan of incising the blood vessel to remove the thrombus, Lu Chenxi wouldn't have dared to send the patient into the operating room at this time.

For a normal Cardiothoracic Surgery doctor, facing an 80-year-old patient with syphilitic Heart disease, no one would be confident in completing the surgery... "No problem, Teacher Lu. After I finish here, I'll prepare again, and we can start the surgery immediately."

Lin Yi readily agreed to Lu Chenxi.

Are you kidding? Wang Baoguo's Heart surgery was related to whether Lin Yi's system's Heart-related skills would be activated. Moreover, it was only after his strong insistence that Lu Chenxi agreed to perform the surgery on the patient.

He originally thought he would have to wait several more days, until the patient's anti-syphilis treatment was over, before the surgery could take place. Having it moved up to now, Lin Yi was naturally overjoyed.

He had to participate in this surgery, and deeply participate, to ensure the activation of his Heart surgery skills.

The sooner he activated the skills in this field, the sooner his sister's dilated cardiomyopathy would have hope of being cured... "What's going on? Does Dr. Lin Yi also know Heart-related surgery?!"

"gallbladder, Pancreas, Chinese medicine, and now the Heart field. This young doctor can really cross boundaries!"

"Are General Practitioner all this amazing? Or is the General Practice Medicine we know already a castrated specialty?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the Emergency Department's operating room. The Central Hospital Emergency Department has such powerful surgical capabilities..."

Listening to the questions and answers within the operating room, the Expert Professor in the observation room began another heated discussion.

Regardless of whether the patient's cancer cells were completely eradicated, simply completing the removal of tumors in the patient's gallbladder and Pancreas within an hour was such a swift and perfect surgical case that it would be regarded as a classic teaching video by major Hospital and academies across the entire China.

Everyone still hadn't recovered from the shock. Lin Yi, the chief surgeon of this operation, was already seamlessly transitioning to syphilitic Heart disease surgery.

Are they not going to let people live? What surgical techniques is this young doctor not proficient in?!

How did this guy learn these surgical techniques? Even if he started learning from the womb, it seems like the time wouldn't be enough...

"What's going on with Dr. Lu? Why is she looking for Lin Yi to perform Heart surgery?"

"I've never heard that Lin Yi is also skilled in surgical techniques in this field..."

Not only were the Expert Professor in the observation room amazed, but even Director Cui was utterly confused and didn't understand the situation.

Director Cui was, of course, very clear about Lu Chenxi's Thoracic Surgery Department skills. Before she was transferred to the Emergency Department, she was the leading figure among the younger generation in the Thoracic Surgery Department of Central Hospital, with Heart surgical skills second only to Bai Ji, the Director of Thoracic Surgery.

Even she wasn't confident in the Heart surgery, so its difficulty must be extremely high.

Logically speaking, when the Emergency Department encountered such a situation, they should transfer the patient to the corresponding Cardiothoracic Surgery Department for treatment or surgery.

Not only did Lu Chenxi not do that, but she also came to Lin Yi for help. Could it be that Lin Yi's experience in Heart surgery was even more impressive than Lu Chenxi's?!

This was truly beyond Director Cui's comprehension; even she felt that Lin Yi might know a little too much...

"Director Qiu... Old Qiu, why don't you say something?"

"Lin Yi has ruined your General Surgery Department, and now he's clearly going after my Cardiothoracic Surgery Department!"

"In this situation, we should unite and firmly resist this unhealthy trend..."

Bai Ji, standing at the very back of the observation room, was like someone whose tail had been stepped on. He elbowed Qiu Lixin, whose face was as black as ink, looking as if his biological father had died, hoping the other party could give him some advice.

To be honest, when Qiu Lixin dragged him to this observation room today to watch Lin Yi perform gallbladder cancer surgery, his initial feelings weren't too profound.

Regardless of whether Lin Yi could completely cure the patient's gallbladder cancer, it was 'death to the fellow Daoist, not to the poor Daoist.' The biggest impact would still be on Qiu Lixin's General Surgery Department, and it wouldn't have much impact on his Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.

Even if Lin Yi successfully conquered gallbladder cancer, stole the limelight, and received various honors, trying to shake Bai Ji's position in the Hospital was wishful thinking!

Bai Ji had operated in the Hospital for a lifetime. How could he be replaced by a young upstart like Lin Yi, who had only been there for a few days? In terms of connections and qualifications, the gap between them was like a chasm...

But Lin Yi shamelessly extended his black hand towards his Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, which made Bai Ji unbearable.

The Emergency Department was going to perform Heart surgery on a patient. Where did that leave the face of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department? No matter what, Bai Ji would not allow such a thing to happen...

"Unite? Unite my ass!"

"I'm annoyed. What you want to do is your business. Don't drag me into it again!"

Qiu Lixin snapped at Bai Ji, then slumped his head, re-entering his enlightened state of desirelessness.

Regardless of whether Director Ning's pancreatic cancer could be completely cured within ten days, after today, Qiu Lixin clearly realized that his General Surgery Department was completely finished.

With Lin Yi's superb surgical skills in the gallbladder and Pancreas, if these Expert Professor went out and simply spread the word, patients with gallbladder and Pancreas issues from the entire Long Province and even the Northwest Five Provinces would surely choose the Central Hospital Emergency Department as their first option for treatment.

These two types of patients were the most important patients and sources of income for his General Surgery Department. Losing these two major pillars, the General Surgery Department of Central Hospital would directly transform from a key department into a marginalized one, completely losing its say in the Hospital.

Most critically, he had completely fallen out with Lin Yi. Their General Surgery Department couldn't even get a share of the leftovers while the Emergency Department feasted...

"You... Hmph! I won't stoop to your level, old man."

"Without rules, there's no order. I just don't believe it. Why should a patient belonging to Thoracic Surgery Department receive surgery in the Emergency Department?!"

Bai Ji glared fiercely at Qiu Lixin, then turned and left the observation room...
