Chapter 276 -143: Scaring the Family is the Only Way to Seal the Deal, Director Wen Feels a Bit Shaky
“I’m going to withdraw it now.”
Indeed, the woman had some savings; hundreds of thousands in her account were available for immediate withdrawal.
…
Half an hour later, the woman had paid a surgical fee of 120,000 yuan.
With the funds in place, Dr. Ou called Wu Baihe, who was in the middle of a major surgery that would take at least six to eight hours.
With no other choice, they had to turn to Director Wen.
After some communication, Director Wen finally agreed to perform an emergency interventional surgery on the patient. freёweɓnovel.com
On one hand, the condition was indeed critical; on the other hand, the interventional surgery usually took less time.
In uncomplicated cases, the surgery typically only needed one to two hours to complete.
The next steps were straightforward: arrange for the anesthesiologist to come for a pre-surgery talk, have the anesthetic consent form signed. Dr. Ou took care of getting the surgical consent form signed by the family.
The hospital arranged for an operating room on short notice.
The entire operation proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Zhou Can was very lucky to have the chance to observe and learn in the operating room alongside Dr. Ou.
Inside the operating room, he finally met the renowned Director Wen from the Department of Neurosurgery.
He was a man in his fifties, probably around fifty-five or fifty-six years old. His hair was black and shiny, just like a young man’s.
But age spots could be seen on his face and the backs of his hands.
The wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes were also very pronounced.
Time is merciless; Director Wen’s hair was likely dyed black.
His entire demeanor was quite scholarly, wearing glasses and speaking in a measured pace, exuding the charm of a mature male.
To achieve the Director title at Tuya Hospital around the age of 56 was no easy feat.
Looking at Dr. Ou, just over fifty and still only a senior physician.
It’s clear how difficult it is to get a Full Professor title.
Not to mention Full Professor, even achieving the title of Associate Professor is extremely hard.
Many excellent doctors spend their entire careers only to retire as senior physicians.
In the operating room, Dr. Wen was the chief surgeon, with two senior physicians as assistants beside Dr. Ou, one male and one female.
The man was in his forties, and the woman appeared to be about thirty-five or thirty-six.
The rest were Resident Doctors, postgraduates, and the like.
Dr. Ou’s presence in the operating room and his participation in this surgery were likely related to the fact that he was the attending physician.
After the patient was helped onto the operating table, the anesthesiologist began to connect several life-monitoring probes, put on the breathing mask, and implemented inhalation anesthesia.
This method of anesthesia was also more acceptable to patients.
A few breaths in and consciousness blurs; one quickly falls into a deep sleep.
No suffering.
“Anesthesia was successful, the patient’s vital signs are normal, we can proceed with the surgery.”
They were waiting for these words.
Director Wen’s gaze swept over the two senior physicians below him.
“For this type of cerebral artery aneurysm interventional embolization surgery, we prefer to choose the Femoral Artery at the base of the thigh as the puncture site. Remember, do not choose convenience over accuracy, do not puncture directly from an upper body artery for expediency. Carotid artery puncture, for example, is a serious mistake.”
The three postgraduates below him rapidly took out their notebooks and started taking notes with their heads down.
Medical students are mostly diligent.
“Also, you must learn to read images. If the neck of the aneurysm is too wide, the effectiveness of placing coil embolization in interventional surgery may not be ideal. In such cases, stent assistance is needed to prevent the coils from protruding…”
This surgical knowledge was profound and highly practical.
Zhou Can silently took note.
His memory was not bad, and he hadn’t brought pen and paper into the room; he would just need to fill out a surgical report when he got home after work.
“Preoperatively, we fully understood the position of the aneurysm based on DSA three-dimensional reconstruction. Now let’s begin the Femoral Artery puncture surgery. Which of you two will perform the operation?”
Director Wen’s gaze turned to the male and female senior physicians below him.
As for Dr. Ou, he was like a neglected child, shunted to the side, there only to watch and learn.
There was no need to mention Zhou Can.
Standing behind Dr. Ou, he was distinctly separated from Director Wen’s Resident Doctors and postgraduates.
“May I do the procedure?”
The female senior physician asked in a coquettish tone.
“Tang Li seems to have only completed two coronary artery punctures before; I think it’s fine for her to perform the operation this time!”
Director Wen clapped his hands and approved, and the male senior physician had no choice but to step aside.
“Thank you, Director Wen!”
She thanked him with a sweet smile.
Female doctors have a significant advantage over male doctors in securing opportunities for surgical training if they are reasonably attractive.
Securing a chance for surgery practice is almost certain.
“Let me help you!”
The male senior physician, who had not won the chance to perform, was not angry but instead proactively offered his assistance.
Skin preparation is generally done by a nurse.
Even secondary disinfection is often completed by Resident Doctors.
Senior physicians doing such things would be undervaluing their skills.
“Thank you, Dr. Zou!”
She had already begun scrubbing in preparation.
With the first puncture, the blood withdrawn was dark red.
Zhou Can’s mouth twitched twice; aside from being coquettish to the male doctors, this woman probably didn’t possess much real skill.
At thirty-five, she had already attained a senior physician position; she must have a respectable degree.
Moreover, having a good relationship with the head physician of the department had probably helped her climb the ranks.
At Tuya Hospital, the young doctors generally have no low qualifications.
Almost ninety percent have postgraduate degrees or higher.
Her needle puncture resulting in dark red blood meant she had hit a vein.
For punctures or catheter insertion, it’s crucial to observe the color of the blood after puncture.
Dark red generally indicates venous blood. Bright red blood, rich in oxygen, has a vibrant red color.
After seeing it a few times, it’s easy to distinguish.
“Oops, Director Wen, could you please take a look? Did I puncture it wrong?”
