191: Not being a leader is definitely a waste of your eloquence!
Chapter 191: Not being a leader is an absolute waste of his eloquence!
“Abroad, I have heard of similar successful cases!”
Before Bai Ji could get excited, his hopes were cruelly dashed by Zhuang Shu’s next words: “But that was also based on the patient’s strong physique!”
“This patient’s blood vessel flexibility and strength have naturally aged, coupled with the erosion of the syphilis virus, and have now reached a very fragile state.”
“Forcibly performing an interventional angioplasty has virtually no chance of success!”
Knowing what Director Bai wanted, and out of a sense of responsibility for the patient’s life, Zhuang Shu could only tell Director Bai the worst news truthfully: “What about replacing the blocked section of the blood vessel?” Bai Ji asked, still unwilling to give up.
Before all hope was completely extinguished, he wouldn’t give up so easily. “Let me think…”
Zhuang Shu closed his eyes directly, beginning to simulate various surgical plans in his mind, as well as the various unexpected situations encountered after using these plans.
This extremely challenging surgery also thoroughly stirred up the unyielding blood in his Heart.
It’s true that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; even Lin Yi, a General Practitioner, could achieve such remarkable results in his specialized field of the gallbladder.
If he, a great Expert Professor hailed as a returnee from abroad, couldn't make achievements in the Heart field, he would truly be too ashamed to remain at Central Hospital. “I’ve got it!”
Zhuang Shu, with his eyes sparkling and his voice excited, attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the operating room.
Even Lin Yi’s Heart gave a sudden jolt. If someone really snatched the opportunity and completely cured the patient, then he would truly have shot himself in the foot, with no one to complain to. “Directly severing the location of the vascular embolism and replacing it with an artificial blood vessel is definitely not an option.”
“The patient’s fragile blood vessels cannot withstand such a major ordeal, and there’s no way to guarantee post-operative recovery.”
“But if we adopt a bypass graft surgery to create a shunt between blood vessels, we can effectively avoid the biggest unexpected complication.”
“Even if there’s a problem with the artificial bypass vessel, the patient’s original vessel can still function, at least it won’t worsen the patient’s condition…”
The more Zhuang Shu spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that his plan had a great deal of operational space.
Bypass grafting, due to the smaller incision in the blood vessel, would also cause the least stress on the patient’s blood vessels, greatly increasing the success rate of the surgery. “Now the only thing to worry about is the patient’s vascular tolerance.”
“But without opening the chest, no one can provide the most accurate guarantee!”
Zhuang Shu ultimately left the decision of whether to perform the surgery to Director Bai. “Am I to understand this correctly?”
“If, after opening the chest, the patient’s vascular condition can tolerate the bypass graft surgery you mentioned, then you can guarantee the patency of the patient’s coronary artery, creating the maximum survival period for the patient?”
Director Bai was also very straightforward, using a more easily acceptable method to begin the final confirmation with Zhuang Shu. “As long as the patient’s vascular condition isn’t too bad, I can guarantee the success rate of the surgery!”
Zhuang Shu made the guarantee without hesitation; this surgery also had a crucial impact on him. “Then the choice before us is already very simple.”
Director Bai scanned the medical staff in the operating room, finally resting his gaze on the large glass of the observation room, and then continued.
“Now, opening the patient’s chest for aortic valve replacement is certainly not a problem, and there is still a very good chance of using an artificial blood vessel to clear the patient’s coronary artery stenosis, ensuring the patient’s maximum survival period.”
“Even if, due to the blood vessels’ own condition, artificial blood vessel transplantation cannot be performed, the patient will still gain a relatively longer survival period due to the improvement of aortic closure.”
“But if, due to various concerns, we forgo surgery for the patient, according to the patient’s coronary artery blockage, every second that follows, the patient could die due to Heart blood supply issues.”
“Isn’t it our doctors’ duty to save lives and heal the wounded? Which is more important, I believe all medical staff and the patient’s family can make the most correct choice…”
Goodness!
Director Bai Ji truly lived up to his reputation as the head of Central Hospital’s most critical department, with his incisive analysis and emotionally vivid explanation, he was the epitome of the most responsible doctor.
Even Lin Yi felt that if this guy didn’t become a leader, it would be an absolute waste of his eloquence.
How things would unfold next seemed to be a bit out of Lin Yi’s control. “Director Bai is right, in this situation, open-Heart surgery is the patient’s best choice!”
“The Expert Professor who returned from abroad is really different; he could actually come up with such an alternative plan, but the difficulty is still considerable, and ordinary surgeons wouldn’t even dare to imagine it!”
“Even if the patient is 80 years old, he has the right to pursue life. Since there’s a reliable plan, of course, surgery is better!”
“Saving lives and healing the wounded, Director Bai understands it with more depth. I admit I was superficial just now…”
The Expert Professors in the observation room also dramatically changed their tune, one after another starting to affirm Bai Ji’s statement.
Director Bai had already said all the pleasantries; preventing this surgery from proceeding now would turn them into outright murderers, wouldn’t it?
Even if the patient’s family outside the operating room knew about this situation, they would have to agree with Director Bai’s plan and immediately request surgery for the patient.
In any case, in the art of language, Bai Ji had already mastered it to perfection. If the patient really undergoes surgery, are there no other risks? Factors like age, tertiary syphilis, vascular aging, and even post-operative recovery could all lead to surgical complications.
But Director Bai had already spoken to this extent. Compared to the huge gains after a successful surgery, would anyone still seriously bring up these unexpected complications individually?
Isn’t this hindering the patient’s pursuit of a happy life? “What should we do, Lin Yi? This is completely different from what you said!”
Lu Chenxi quietly asked Lin Yi for his opinion from a corner of the operating room.
She couldn’t help but admire the medical skill of this foreign-trained expert. According to the surgical plan he proposed, Lu Chenxi’s mental re-evaluation also indicated a high possibility of success.
But the more successful he was, wouldn’t it mean that their previous plan had become a joke?
Lu Chenxi was, of course, happy if the patient recovered, but she just couldn’t stand Bai Ji’s ugly, villainous face.
If this surgery succeeded in his hands, who knew how he would mock her and Lin Yi afterward? “We can only take it one step at a time!” Lin Yi said dejectedly.
He also hadn’t expected things to develop to this extent.
Zhuang Shu’s appearance was truly not within his and Lu Chenxi’s calculations.
The only thing Lin Yi could do now was to wait and see how things unfolded.
If an unexpected situation occurred, he would have to immediately take over the surgery to ensure the patient’s life safety.
As for unlocking Heart-related surgical skills, if it didn’t happen this time, he could only look forward to a better opportunity next time.
