Chapter 189: Lin Yi Digs a Pit and Adds Fuel to the Fire; Director Bai Jumps in Decisively!
"Lu Chenxi, stop right there!"
"I am officially informing the Emergency Department to transfer the heart patients to the Thoracic Surgery Department for more comprehensive treatment."
Lu Chenxi, who had just finished discussing with Lin Yi and let out a sigh of relief, was about to leave the operating room when Bai Ji, who had rushed in, blocked her inside.
He forcefully demanded that she transfer the patients to the Hospital's Cardiothoracic Surgery Department... "Director Bai, what a grand display of authority! This isn't your Thoracic Surgery Department. The Emergency Department's patients are not for you to dictate."
Lu Chenxi retorted with a cold face. Others might fear Director Bai, but Lu Chenxi was not intimidated in the slightest; otherwise, she wouldn't have been squeezed out of Thoracic Surgery and into the Emergency Department by him.
"Rules are rules. Even if Director Zhong were here, I would still transfer the heart patients to the Thoracic Surgery Department."
"According to convention, open-Heart surgery for Heart-related diseases must be performed by the more specialized Cardiothoracic Surgery Department."
"If the Emergency Department keeps messing around, can the Hospital still maintain normal diagnostic and treatment order?"
Bai Ji stood his ground, asserting his position from the high ground of the rules, determined to reclaim the patients for his department.
If he couldn't stand firm today and allowed this precedent, it would be even harder to establish authority in the future.
Furthermore, he never considered that a Heart surgery that even the Emergency Department could perform would have a chance of failure for the professional Thoracic Surgery Department...
"Impossible! The patient's condition is extremely critical right now, and pre-operative preparations have already begun in the Emergency Department's operating room."
"Even if we wanted to transfer him to the Thoracic Surgery Department now, it's already too late!"
Lu Chenxi was also a bit flustered, adamantly refusing to transfer the patient.
Not to mention the patient's current critical condition, which couldn't withstand major disturbances; even if it could, she wouldn't follow the usual procedure for transfer.
Given the patient's current physical condition, even if transferred to Thoracic Surgery and operated on by Director Bai, who has the best surgical experience, the patient would only have one path: to wait for death.
Only Lin Yi's unique surgical plan could bring the patient hope of survival...
"Teacher Lu, may I say a few words?"
Lin Yi couldn't bear to watch any longer and decided to help Lu Chenxi out, confident that this surgery had to be completed under his hands.
"Nobody asked for your opinion. I'm talking to your teacher..."
Before Lu Chenxi could speak, Bai Ji interjected sarcastically.
The meaning was very clear: in front of these senior doctors, Lin Yi simply didn't have thequalifications to speak.
"Director Bai, please mind your attitude!"
Lu Chenxi glared fiercely at Bai Ji before continuing.
"Patient Wang Baoguo was not only rescued by Lin Yi himself from the Eurasia Commercial Building but is also his first-contact physician. Director Bai, haven't you always talked about rules? Don't you even understand the principle of the first-contact physician responsibility system?"
How could Lu Chenxi miss such a good opportunity to use his own methods against him...
"Oh... then you speak..."
Bai Ji's old face flushed, and he immediately signaled Lin Yi to speak, feeling guilty.
Knowing that Lin Yi was the patient's first-contact physician, he couldn't rashly interrupt his speech.
The first-contact physician responsibility system is one of the core systems in the medical industry. Regardless of whether the first-contact physician is the patient's specialist, as long as they initially receive this patient, the first-contact physician must be fully responsible for the patient's examination, diagnosis... referral, transfer to another department, transfer to another Hospital, and other clinical treatment work, and bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Without the approval and signature of Lin Yi, the first-contact physician, it would be extremely difficult for the patient to transfer from the Emergency Department to the Thoracic Surgery Department...
"For the sake of the patient's life safety, transferring the patient at this time is definitely not the best option."
"If Director Bai doesn't mind, the Emergency Department can lend its operating room to the Thoracic Surgery Department for the patient's surgery."
Lin Yi, with a serious expression, seemingly offered the best solution that benefited both parties.
"No way, Lin Yi, you know that entrusting the patient to the Thoracic Surgery Department would be irresponsible for the patient's life..."
Lu Chenxi was a bit stunned and quickly tried to stop Lin Yi's suggestion.
She knew the Thoracic Surgery Department's techniques all too well; handing the patient over to Bai Ji would only lead to certain death...
"Teacher Lu, don't worry, I'll explain to you later."
Lin Yi subtly winked at Lu Chenxi, signaling her to remain calm.
How could he possibly entrust the hope of activating his Heart surgery skills to Bai Ji, who was at odds with him...
"You said it yourself! Lu Chenxi, you heard it too. I'll process the paperwork immediately, sign the transfer documents for the patient to Thoracic Surgery, then borrow the Emergency Department's operating room and perform the surgery on the patient right away."
Bai Ji hesitated for a moment, then immediately finalized the plan with the other party.
Lin Yi's unexpectedly agreeable demeanor gave him an unsettling feeling.
But after much thought, he didn't believe that transferring this Heart patient would have any negative impact on the Thoracic Surgery Department...
Firstly, Bai Ji couldn't believe that a Heart surgery that Lu Chenxi and her team could handle would result in a mistake if he personally performed it. To be safe, he would bring Zhuang Shu along.
Secondly, Bai Ji also hoped that this surgery would be as complex as possible. With so many Expert Professors present, it would also be an opportunity to expand the influence of the Thoracic Surgery Department and himself...
"Alright!"
"But I must make one request: when the Thoracic Surgery Department performs the surgery, both Teacher Lu and I must be present, in case..."
Lin Yi's words were left unfinished, and the challenging look in his eyes was even more pronounced.
The big pit was already dug for Bai Ji, and since he jumped in so decisively, Lin Yi didn't mind adding more fuel to the fire...
"If you want to watch, then watch. An open-Heart surgery that the Emergency Department can do, the Thoracic Surgery Department is even less likely to fail!"
Looking at Lin Yi's irritating gaze, Bai Ji was even more unyielding. With so many Expert Professors watching in the observation room, he couldn't afford to lose his momentum...
"Lin Yi, what exactly are you planning?"
After completing all the handover procedures, Lu Chenxi, seeing Lin Yi scrubbing and disinfecting his hands, seized the opportunity when there were fewer people to ask the question that had been bothering her.
"Teacher Lu, you're just too concerned about the patient's safety, which made you forget the key to this matter."
"When we discussed Wang Baoguo's condition, I remember you clearly stating that given the extent of the patient's vascular aging, not to mention Central Hospital, even the Thoracic Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital would not be able to perform arterial vessel dredging and replacement for the patient."
"In other words, if this surgery is handed over to Director Bai, they will also be at a loss."
"The purpose of me asking for us to stay in the operating room is to take over this surgery again when Director Bai is at his most desperate..."
Lin Yi patiently explained his thoughts completely.
He stopped Lu Chenxi from speaking too much in the operating room for fear that if Bai Ji knew the patient's specific condition, he would definitely not continue to jump into the pit.
Now, Bai Ji had already jumped into this big pit.
In front of so many Expert Professors, Lin Yi wanted to see how Bai Ji would handle the situation then...
