Chapter 193: Patients Cured by Doctors Are Also the Best Cure for Doctors!

"As long as the problem of coronary artery stenosis is solved, the patient will undoubtedly usher in a new life."

"And I believe that with Professor Zhuang Shu's superb surgical skills, he will certainly live up to everyone's trust!"

Director Bai Ji, who had stepped down from the lead surgeon's position, had a relaxed expression.

For him, he had thoroughly completed his work.

No matter what situation the patient faced next, it would not negate his efforts for the patient... Of course!

Given that Zhuang Shu's interests would be maximized only if he succeeded, before leaving the operating room, Bai Ji didn't mind praising and encouraging him with words.

If the entire surgery could achieve great success as expected.

In the subsequent actions targeting Lin Yi, Bai Ji would also be relatively more at ease... "I can only do my best; I cannot guarantee success."

Zhuang Shu sternly corrected Director Bai Ji's statement before coldly taking his place as the lead surgeon.

He wouldn't dare to make a blind promise that he could definitely complete it.

The patient's advanced age of 80, coupled with tertiary syphilis, had made his blood vessels extremely fragile.

The intervascular bypass graft surgery he proposed could only be described as the optimal choice for the patient; whether it would succeed still depended on the specific manifestation of the patient's own condition.

The only thing Zhuang Shu could guarantee was that if there was even a sliver of a chance for the patient to succeed, he would exert all his strength to achieve the best surgical outcome... "I wonder if Professor Zhuang Shu, this returning overseas scholar, can continue the glory of Central Hospital!"

"At this critical moment of the surgery, those watching are more nervous than if they were actually present!"

"If this seemingly hopeless surgery is resolved by Central Hospital, it will be another miracle in surgical history!"

"Can the patient's blood vessels really withstand the optimized surgical plan? I just have a bad feeling about it..."

Zhuang Shu's appearance made everyone in the observation room nervous again.

Especially Director Cui; despite having weathered many storms, her tightly clenched fists were now sweating.

Whether it was to continue today's glory or to cause a medical dispute depended on Professor Zhuang's next move...

"Lin Yi, do you think Zhuang Shu can complete this most difficult next stage?"

"I'm a little afraid to watch... sigh..."

Lu Chenxi seemed to be asking Lin Yi, but it was more of a soliloquy.

The closer it got, the more conflicted and complicated her heart became... From the patient's perspective, she naturally hoped that the upcoming surgery would proceed without any hitches.

Every patient cured by a doctor is also the best cure for the doctor.

But from her own perspective, as well as Lin Yi's and the Emergency Department's, Lu Chenxi was shamefully hoping that Zhuang Shu would not be able to complete this surgery.

After all, only if Lin Yi stepped in could this matter have the most perfect ending... Looking at Lu Chenxi's complex eyes, Lin Yi didn't know how to respond.

In his heart, wasn't he just like her, constantly in a state of complex entanglement...

"Director Bai, the fragility of the patient's blood vessels may be far beyond our expectations."

As expected, an unexpected situation arose.

After a detailed examination, Zhuang Shu looked at the patient's exposed coronary artery and immediately felt a massive headache.

"Currently, I only have a fifty percent chance of successfully performing bypass graft surgery for the patient."

"Should we proceed with the surgery? Director Bai, please make the decision."

In this situation, Zhuang Shu had no choice but to hand the surgical decision-making power back to Director Bai.

Although he also wanted to prove through this surgery that he lived up to everyone's trust.

But Zhuang Shu was not someone who didn't know the gravity of the situation; a fifty percent surgical risk was still too high for the patient.

And it involved the very dangerous coronary artery. If more unexpected events occurred during the surgery, causing irreversible damage to the patient's coronary artery, not to mention endangering the patient's life, it might even prevent the patient from leaving the operating table.

Without a complete contingency plan, Zhuang Shu would certainly not risk performing the surgery for the patient... "Only fifty percent chance?"

Bai Ji's heart sank, and his expression instantly turned from clear to gloomy.

The worst possible outcome had occurred, making his previous triumph disappear without a trace.

At this point, giving up halfway would indeed not have much impact on him personally.

But the goal of completely crushing Lin Yi's arrogance would also vanish, which was the consequence Bai Ji could least accept...

"Professor Zhuang, can't you think of another way? Giving up halfway now is the most irresponsible thing to do to the patient!"

Director Bai, unable to accept failure, still wanted to make a final struggle.

While asking Zhuang Shu, his mind also started working rapidly, looking for any possible alternative solutions.

At least to ensure that this surgery reached a relatively perfect conclusion... "According to the patient's current condition, this is already the best surgical plan."

"If Director Bai insists on the surgery, I can try, but if it proves impossible, I will immediately end the surgery within a controllable range to ensure no more serious harm is caused to the patient!"

Zhuang Shu hesitated for a moment but still proposed a plan to attempt the surgery.

If the surgery simply ended like this, he himself would have trouble accepting it psychologically.

Before the surgery, it was his proposal that led to the official start of this operation.

Now, with the surgery halfway through, at the most crucial moment for him to act, he was telling others that for safety reasons, the surgery had to be terminated.

Isn't this playing games with people? How would all his colleagues in the operating room and observation room view him?

Unconsciously, wouldn't Zhuang Shu become that Zhao Kuo who only talked big on paper? This was the outcome he could least accept...

"With a fifty percent chance, why can't we give it a try?"

"Compared to the hope of the patient's life, I believe the patient's family will also agree to the plan we are about to undertake."

"Professor Zhuang, caution and prudence are indeed excellent professional virtues for a doctor, but specific situations still need to be treated specifically. At the critical moment of saving a life, a bold attempt is not out of the question!"

"I will definitely cooperate with Professor Zhuang and do a good job with the relevant auxiliary work. Even if unforeseen accidents occur, we can still keep them within a controllable range!"

Bai Ji earnestly persuaded Zhuang Shu to at least make an attempt.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, according to a doctor's usual cautious attitude, a fifty percent chance of success for such a difficult life-saving surgery was already a very high success rate...

"Alright then! As Director Bai said, proceed with the surgery for the patient immediately!"

Zhuang Shu was not a indecisive person; after firming his resolve, he immediately took action...
