76: Even the surgical procedures were wrong! Does Zhong Xibei want to retire early?

Chapter 076: How could they get the surgical project wrong! Does Zhong Xibei want to retire early?

"It's not good, Department Director!"

"The Emergency Department announced that Li Shihan's Limb Replantation surgery was very successful."

"After a smooth recovery, she can live a normal life again, just like a normal person..."

Inside the General Surgery Department operating room, a doctor rushed in, reporting to Director Qiu in a panic.

When General Surgery Department began Wu You's surgery, the Department Director had instructed him that any movement from the Emergency Department must be reported to the Department Director immediately.

According to Director Qiu, General Surgery Department and the Emergency Department were engaged in a crucial competition, and they had to constantly monitor the other side's movements... "Impossible!"

"Zhong Xibei must be crazy, daring to joke about a patient's condition!"

"Not good..."

In his rage, Director Qiu couldn't control the strength of his hand, and the almost finished wound on the patient's lower body was torn open by the suture thread.

"Enlarge the opening a bit more; I'll suture it after disinfection is complete."

This torn piece of skin could no longer be sutured.

With a dark expression, Director Qiu had no choice but to reluctantly order the first assistant to continue enlarging the wound area.

Although with this method of treatment, the patient would have a very high chance of urinary leakage after surgery, the surgical risk was at least reduced to a controllable range.

He believed that the patient would accept this explanation after waking up... "Only 3 hours of surgery time."

"If the Emergency Department can complete the amputation and the suturing of the stump, that would be quite impressive..."

After glancing at the time displayed above the operating room, Director Qiu muttered to himself, feeling more relaxed.

Even without considering the survival rate of the injured's legs, to crudely suture the damaged parts of both legs.

Based on Director Qiu's extensive surgical experience, even with several doctors cooperating, it would take no less than 12 hours for the injured to leave the operating table.

In just 3 hours, Zhong Xibei was eager to announce the results to the outside world.

This was clearly a case of substituting concepts, calling an amputation surgery a Limb Replantation surgery.

It might fool other doctors who don't understand surgery, but to try and hide it from his, Qiu Lixin's, discerning eyes, Zhong Xibei was clearly deluding himself... "Hurry up and spread the fact that the Emergency Department is confusing the public and substituting concepts."

"I want all the doctors at Central Hospital to see Zhong Xibei's shameless face..."

After a brief thought, Director Qiu gave the latest order to the doctor who had rushed in to report.

"You know what to say, right?"

"I know, Department Director. The success rate of Limb Replantation technology is clearly written in the surgical encyclopedia."

The subordinate doctor responded confidently; there was no possibility of error with such basic knowledge.

"Oh, and by the way, release another piece of news."

Seeing his subordinate doctor about to leave, Director Qiu added another instruction.

"General Surgery Department successfully completed Wu You's foot Limb Replantation surgery, estimating the patient's foot survival rate... should be above 50%."

Reporting the original 30% survival rate as 50% already made Director Qiu very embarrassed!

What he couldn't understand was that Zhong Xibei was, after all, an old doctor.

Not only did he substitute concepts, but he also dared to guarantee a 100% success rate.

Did this old fellow want to retire early, not even caring about his basic dignity anymore!

..."Director Bai, Central Hospital is very lively today, isn't it?"

"A lot of this must be your doing, right..."

In the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department Director's Office, Zhuang Shu took a sip of the black tea Director Bai had just poured, pointing to the Hospital's chat group on his phone, and asked pointedly.

"How can that be? Am I, Bai Ji, that kind of person..."

Bai Ji stared wide-eyed, denying it earnestly.

He had only given his subordinate doctors a few pointers; as for how everyone interpreted it, that was not something he could control... "Professor Zhuang, I'd like to ask you something."

"Regarding Limb Replantation surgery for patients whose upper and lower bodies are almost separated, are there any successful cases in your California Medical School?"

"If we don't consider the survival rate of the severed limb, how long would it approximately take to complete such a highly sophisticated surgery?"

For better planning, Bai Ji first had to confirm some things.

Only with 100% certainty was he willing to strike with a thunderous blow, to be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

"To my knowledge, even the most advanced operating rooms in the world cannot guarantee a complete reattachment of a severed limb of this severity; the survival rate is at most 10 to 20 percent."

"Furthermore, the human lower limbs are distributed with too many blood vessels, nerves, tendons, etc.; just suturing alone can make the surgeon despair."

"To complete this kind of surgery, at the fastest..."

Zhuang Shu pondered for a moment, giving a barely reasonable time frame.

"At the fastest, it wouldn't be less than 10 hours."

While answering Director Bai's question, Zhuang Shu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The Central Hospital Emergency Department had actually issued an announcement that Li Shihan's surgery was perfectly successful.

And the time to complete the surgery was only about 3 hours.

What he couldn't understand was why the other party would release information so contrary to medical common sense.

Based on his understanding of these high-level Hospital executives, Department Director Zhong Xibei of the Emergency Department was definitely not a doctor who would falsely exaggerate surgical results for fame.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Emergency Department for decades, working diligently without complaint... "Could it be that when the other party released the information, they got the surgical project wrong?"

This suspicion had barely surfaced before Zhuang Shu immediately dismissed it.

Even the most ordinary doctor would not make a mistake in recording medical records.

Moreover, this was news officially released by the Emergency Department, which could only be issued after confirmation and agreement from more than one person.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's matter, he wouldn't have had such an unpleasant falling out with the Emergency Department.

Otherwise, whether he had anything on hand or not at the moment.

Zhuang Shu would rush to the Emergency Department immediately to find out the truth of the matter.

A Limb Replantation surgery of this magnitude, even raising the survival rate of the severed limb by one percentage point, would cause a sensational international impact... "I'm relieved to hear Professor Zhuang say that."

"Do you still have anything to do here? You see, I..."

Bai Ji rubbed his hands, looking very apologetic.

"I'll take my leave first, Director Bai, you're busy..."

Seeing that the other party had given him his marching orders, Zhuang Shu very tactfully turned and left.

After returning to his office for a long time, he was still pondering what method to use to go to the Emergency Department to investigate the situation.

"Why think so much?"

"At worst, I'll just get rebuked by Lu Chenxi again..."

Zhuang Shu, feeling restless, still couldn't resist the urge in his heart.

Risking being scolded, he quickly headed towards the Emergency Department... "Old Qiu's surgery was a great success, so there's no need to go to the Medical Affairs Department for authorization."

After Zhuang Shu left, Bai Ji immediately began to deploy his next plan.

At that time, he had promised Director Qiu to arrange for the Medical Affairs Department to handle the patient's family's signature.

This was to guard against any unforeseen risks during Wu You's surgery, ensuring there was someone legally authorized to sign.

Since the surgery was a great success, this step was no longer needed.

Despite such severe injuries, Director Qiu achieved the best surgical outcome for Wu You.

This fellow surely wouldn't bite them back like he did in the Emergency Department, would he... "I must go talk to Cui Jin."

"With such a major medical incident happening at the Hospital, how can the Director remain uninvolved..."

On his way to the Director's Office, Director Bai.

His feet felt like they were treading on cotton, humming a little tune all the way, speeding along.
