96: It is ridiculous to identify cancer cells with the naked eye!
Chapter 096: Distinguishing Cancer Cells with the Naked Eye is Utterly Ridiculous!
Less than five minutes after Zhong Xibei finished the call,
Director Cui, Director Bai, and Director Qiu rushed to the Emergency Department Operating Room almost one after another, looking flustered.
“Director Zhong, this is a serious matter; you absolutely cannot joke about it.”
“How did you determine that the patient’s cancer cells have been completely removed?”
After scrubbing, disinfecting, and changing into surgical attire, Director Cui immediately asked his question the moment he saw Zhong Xibei.
From the start of the meeting to its end, less than two hours had passed.
During this time, for the Emergency Department to complete a radical tumor resection surgery seemed somewhat unbelievable.
However, if they truly completed this surgery, what it would mean for Central Hospital, even the most ordinary medical staff could clearly recognize… “Uh…” Zhong Xibei was awkwardly stunned.
He had been so focused on being happy and showing off in front of these directors.
He had actually forgotten to inquire about the specific details of the surgery.
“Director Cui, I don’t know the details too well either.”
“I’m not sure how it was confirmed, but Lu Chenxi told me very clearly.”
“I’m sure Director Cui knows Lu Chenxi’s temperament and character; I don’t think she would lie!”
However, how it was confirmed was not important at all.
What was important was that Lu Chenxi and all the medical staff in the operating room had confirmed the matter.
He might take what others said with a grain of salt, but if Lu Chenxi said yes, then it was undoubtedly so.
Lu Chenxi’s reputation for meticulousness was well-known, even in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department… “Heh… Heh heh…” Director Qiu chuckled sardonically from the side.
“So, your Emergency Department judges a patient’s condition entirely by feeling?”
“Lu Chenxi says it’s cured, and it’s cured? Even professional medical equipment can make misdiagnoses, let alone a person!”
“Surely the Emergency Department can’t distinguish cancer cells with the naked eye, can they?”
“It’s utterly ridiculous…”
Qiu Lixin had repeatedly replayed the scenario in his mind on the way there.
Even considering some cutting-edge and niche medical technologies, the radical cure of gallbladder cancer could not be completed within two hours.
For cholecystectomy and related surgeries, he was arguably the most authoritative doctor in the entire Central Hospital.
From the moment a patient entered the operating room for preparation, even if he personally performed the surgery, the simplest cholecystectomy would take at least two hours before the patient could leave the operating room.
Moreover, this surgery was for a patient with advanced gallbladder cancer!
Completing the surgery in such a short time? That’s like trying to fool a ghost!
And the method of verification Zhong Xibei mentioned just confirmed his judgment.
Observing the complete eradication of cancer cells with the naked eye? Even doctors in community clinics wouldn’t dare to make such a boast… “Director Zhong, this is indeed your fault!”
“How can such a rigorous medical issue be judged by experience?”
“Just as Director Qiu said, no matter how good Lu Chenxi’s eyesight is, it hasn’t reached the exaggerated extent of seeing cancer cells, has it?!”
Bai Ji followed Qiu Lixin’s line of thought and began to kick him while he was down.
The Emergency Department cured a patient’s advanced cancer? Are you kidding?
If such a ridiculous situation really occurred, where would the face of their key departments be placed?
Furthermore, when Zhong Xibei mentioned that Lu Chenxi confirmed this surgery, Bai Ji actually felt more relieved.
He was certain that she absolutely could not possess such medical expertise; even when she was in Thoracic Surgery, he had never heard of Lu Chenxi having any research on cancer.
Even if, by some miracle, Lu Chenxi truly had such exaggerated medical expertise, no matter how much Bai Ji disliked her, he would still have to enshrine Lu Chenxi like an ancestor in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.
Sending her to the Emergency Department? That would be utterly brain-dead… “You two shut up!”
Director Cui glared at Director Qiu and Director Bai, scolding them severely.
“It’s the Emergency Department’s surgery; Director Zhong hasn’t said anything, so what are you two so anxious about?!”
“Did the Central Hospital Emergency Department solving the cancer problem make you two unhappy?”
“If anyone says another word, get out immediately!”
Director Cui was perfectly clear about the little schemes these two were hatching.
Weren’t they just afraid that if the Emergency Department truly overcame such a critical surgical challenge, it would affect the standing of their departments in the Hospital?
But was this a minor matter? What did conquering cancer mean for Central Hospital?
A problem whose importance even ordinary medical staff could discern, yet the directors of two key departments were still bickering here.
If this Hospital were truly run by Director Cui himself, for this reason alone, he would definitely make these two get out… “Director Zhong, don’t just stand there; quickly take me to find Dr. Lu.”
“What exactly happened? Won’t it be clear once we see Dr. Lu?!”
After sternly rebuking Director Qiu and Director Bai, Director Cui urged the stunned Zhong Xibei to quickly lead the way.
“Oh… Yes, Director.”
Reminded by Director Cui, Zhong Xibei immediately reacted and hurried towards the operating room where Lu Chenxi and her team were.
Having been in the Hospital for so long, Zhong Xibei had never seen it.
When had the usually gentle and refined Cui Jin ever lost his temper so greatly? This made him a little unaccustomed to it for a moment… “Dr. Lu, the Director and several directors are here.”
“What was the specific surgical plan for the gallbladder cancer patient, and how did you confirm that the patient’s gallbladder cancer has been completely eradicated?”
“As the lead surgeon, please introduce the specific situation…”
The moment he saw Lu Chenxi, Director Zhong quickly stated their purpose and then looked at her with a tense expression.
Although he believed Lu Chenxi wouldn’t lie, he was even more curious about how Lu Chenxi confirmed that the patient’s cancer had been completely eradicated… “The surgery for patient Yang Dong was not performed by me; I was merely fortunate enough to participate as an assistant.”
“For the specific situation, you should ask the true lead surgeon for this operation, Dr. Lin!”
Being stared at so intensely by the Director and the directors, Lu Chenxi also felt a bit flustered.
Although she dreamed of this surgery being completed under her leadership,
she knew even more clearly that she simply didn’t have that capability!
Whether it was Lin Yi’s technique, accuracy, speed, or surgical plan, they were all beyond her reach… “Lin… Lin Yi was the lead surgeon for this operation?”
Director Zhong’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Yi, his face filled with disbelief.
Only then,
did the morning’s events involving Lin Yi suddenly flood into Zhong Xibei’s mind.
First, he discussed with him, his director, about focusing on gallbladder surgery in the Emergency Department, preserving the patient’s gallbladder while also eradicating the cancer on it.
Then, in the General Surgery ward, he stubbornly insisted on transferring the patient to the Emergency Department for surgery, repeatedly assuring that the patient would definitely recover completely… “Lin Yi, so you were serious, huh…”
Zhong Xibei blurted out, a seemingly random remark.
