92: As long as I can be Lin Yi's assistant, face is nothing!
Chapter 092: What does face matter, as long as I can be Lin Yi's assistant!
"Director Cui, I still stand by what I said."
"As long as the patient is transferred to the Emergency Department, I am confident I can completely cure the patient's gallbladder cancer."
Lin Yi looked at Director Cui, his eyes growing more determined and confident.
The system prompt that had just reappeared clearly indicated that after receiving pethidine for pain relief, the patient's body secreted a large amount of adrenaline, increasing the burden on the gallbladder.
If surgery was not performed within one hour, there was a risk of gallbladder rupture at any time.
If surgery was not performed immediately, leading to gallbladder rupture and the spread of cancer cells throughout the abdominal cavity, even if Lin Yi were Hua Tuo reborn, he would be powerless.
He had even prepared himself: if the Director still did not agree to transfer the patient immediately, he would have to perform surgery on the patient right away, even if it meant making a military pledge, even if it was directly in the General Surgery operating room, witnessed by everyone.
He couldn't disregard the patient's life and death because of the current bickering. "Alas..." Director Cui sighed.
"Then... alright."
She could only reluctantly agree to Lin Yi's plan.
Things had already escalated to this point, and her sole objection was futile.
"You must immediately transfer the patient to the Emergency Department now."
"Monitor the patient's vital signs and prepare for surgery."
"Try to consult with the teachers and Department Directors as much as possible, and after coming up with a relatively stable surgical plan, choose an opportune time to perform the surgery on the patient."
Still worried, Director Cui earnestly admonished Lin Yi again.
Only then did she turn her gaze to the other three Department Directors in the ward. "All of you, come with me to the conference room for a meeting."
"The resolution of Wu You's situation involved too many coincidental factors."
"The Hospital must develop a set of practical rules and regulations on related issues to resolutely prevent the recurrence of Wu You's incident!"
After briefly mentioning the main content of the meeting, Director Cui looked at Lin Yi with a complex expression again, then turned and left the ward first.
Director Qiu and Director Bai followed closely behind, their gazes at Lin Yi as cold as if they were looking at a dead man.
The issuance of Director Cui's order to transfer the patient also meant that in a few days, this annoying young man would conclude his brief career at Central Hospital.
As for whether he could continue to work as a General Practitioner at a community Hospital in the future, that would depend on their mood. "I'm going to the Director's meeting first."
"Remember, before I return, do not make any decisions."
"You just need to stabilize the patient's condition..."
Before leaving the ward, Director Zhong specifically reminded Lin Yi several times.
How could he not see the malicious intentions of Director Qiu Bai?
If Lin Yi were to be overly eager for success and rashly begin treating the patient before Director Zhong returned, that would be falling into their trap.
As long as Director Zhong was still in the Department, all treatment methods would be carried out under his watchful eye.
Even if the final treatment effect did not achieve what Lin Yi had described, he would still find a way to protect this young doctor whom he held in such high regard!
... "Teacher Lu, this is the surgical consent form for patient Yang Dong. Please sign it."
After transferring Yang Dong to the Emergency Department ward as quickly as possible, Lin Yi brought the surgical consent form to Lu Chenxi for her signature.
Although Director Zhong had already confirmed Lin Yi's qualification as an attending physician, as a doctor in Lu Chenxi's team, Lin Yi still needed to obtain the signature authorization of a superior doctor when performing surgery. "Yang Dong?" Lu Chenxi was startled, turning her gaze to the surgical consent form Lin Yi handed her.
She didn't seem to recall having such a patient in her team.
"You transferred a patient from the General Surgery Department who needs gallbladder surgery?"
As soon as she saw the first two lines on the consent form, Lu Chenxi exclaimed in extreme surprise.
gallbladder patients were the General Surgery Department's specialty and the least likely type of patient to be handled by other departments.
For Lin Yi to transfer a gallbladder patient from General Surgery to the Emergency Department was akin to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.
It was unbelievable that Director Qiu of General Surgery would agree. Suppressing her disbelief, Lu Chenxi continued reading.
"The patient has been diagnosed with advanced gallbladder cancer, and cancer cells have begun to metastasize to the liver and lymph nodes..."
"Surgical opinion: Surgery must be performed immediately within one hour to preserve the patient's gallbladder while completely eradicating the cancer cells in the patient's body..."
Unable to read further, Lu Chenxi looked up at Lin Yi, staring into his eyes as she asked, "Are you not joking?"
"For a patient with advanced gallbladder cancer, you not only want to preserve the patient's gallbladder during surgery but also eradicate the cancer cells?"
"This... isn't this too outrageous!"
Lu Chenxi originally wanted to say he was joking, but seeing the determined and confident look in Lin Yi's eyes again, she had to change her wording.
Although this guy in front of her had already performed several major surgeries in the Emergency Department operating room that she thought were impossible to complete, this was cancer!
Conquering cancer, even a rare gallbladder cancer, was an unimaginable feat in medical history. "Am I going to be the one to witness a medical miracle again..."
Lu Chenxi subtly became excited again.
Thinking of Li Shihan, whose upper and lower body were almost separated, wasn't her reaction just as incredulous before the surgery was confirmed? "I, Lin Yi, would never joke with a patient's life."
"Furthermore, I have already reported to Director Zhong about vigorously promoting gallbladder-related surgeries in the Emergency Department."
"Given the urgency of the situation, whether you sign this or not, Teacher Lu, I must perform the surgery on the patient immediately!"
Lin Yi expressed all his thoughts in one go.
He even falsely claimed that Director Zhong had already agreed, just to avoid wasting words, as the patient couldn't wait too long. "Director Zhong agreed?!" Lu Chenxi expressed doubt about the truthfulness of this statement.
However, that no longer mattered; the key was to find a way to participate in this surgery.
"For such a major surgery, has the assistant been decided?"
Lu Chenxi looked at Lin Yi with hope, wanting to hear the answer she most desired from him.
As Lin Yi's teacher, to proactively ask to be his surgical assistant felt a bit embarrassing.
"This surgery isn't too complicated. Having Fang Xiaoran as my assistant will be enough. Teacher Lu, please sign quickly."
Lin Yi answered perfunctorily, his attention entirely on the surgical consent form in Lu Chenxi's hand.
"Uh... forget it!" Lu Chenxi's face flushed slightly.
She was speechless encountering such an unsophisticated student!
"Signing the surgical consent form is definitely fine, but I must participate in this surgery as your first assistant."
"For such a major surgery, I can't rest assured without personally supervising it."
To participate in this surgery, Lu Chenxi no longer cared about her own reputation.
She found a seemingly reasonable reason that Lin Yi couldn't refuse.
"No problem!" Lin Yi replied indifferently.
It didn't matter who was his first assistant; it wouldn't affect the surgical outcome in the slightest.
With Lu Chenxi, who had rich surgical experience, volunteering, it could even slightly speed up the completion of the surgery, so why not!?
"Teacher Lu, prepare for surgery immediately. The patient has already entered the operating room."
After instructing Lu Chenxi, Lin Yi headed towards the operating room first...
