Translator 549690339 |
Duan Bo really knows how to speak, making it impossible to find fault!
The key thing is, he always hits the point!
What are young people most afraid of?
Instigating trouble!
Give them a bit of sunshine and they want to shine, give them a bit of flood and
they wish to overflow.
What is Duan Bo trying to do?
Stir things up, of course!
Right now, the emergency department is swamped with patients. Surely the senior doctors are short-handed, and the junior doctors aren’t very skilled at this surgery. Chen Cang, green as he is, fearless like a calf facing a tiger, with a little encouragement will surely be eager to try.
Laypeople might not understand, but insiders all know.
The appendix and gallbladder are different.
How many complications arise each year from gallbladder removal surgery?
A slight lapse resulting in bile leakage during surgery is enough to cause a crisis in the emergency room.
By then, no matter how many people you have, it’s no good. They can’t protect you!
Having said his piece, Duan Bo was ready to leave. He stood up and said to Shi Na, “Dr. Shi, there’s still a lot to do in the department, I have to go. Dr. Chen, keep up the good work! I have high hopes for you.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Na quickly stood up, “Wait, Dr. Duan.”
Duan Bo turned around, “What is it?”
Shi Na organized her thoughts, “The emergency department has limited beds, and the number of doctors is limited too. Normally, after the patients are triaged in emergency, they should be sent to their respective specialties, and patients with specific conditions should go to the relevant departments for treatment. I’m thinking of transferring those patients you rounded on earlier to general surgery, since you’re more specialized!”
Upon hearing this, Duan Bo frowned, “Well…it’s not that it can’t be done. In theory, that’s how it should be done, but our department’s beds are all full, and surgeries are fully booked. If these patients go there, there’s no way to schedule their surgeries either! And if we don’t arrange surgery in the short term, their conditions might change. I really can’t take on that responsibility! So… I’m really unable to help!”
At these words, Shi Na’s face turned pale.
Duan Bo’s statement effectively left her with no way out!
“What if… Dr. Duan, we have an operating room we can spare. Could you see how many surgeons from general surgery can come over to operate? We in the emergency department will cooperate fully, what do you say?
Shi Na was already trying her best to find a solution.
But Duan Bo sighed, “WelL-I’m on duty, and I can’t leave. As for other doctors…it’s also difficult for me to contact them. How about this, Dr. Shi, I’ll send you their phone numbers and you can contact them, okay?”
And with that, Duan Bo enthusiastically sent the general surgery doctors’ phone numbers to Shi Na’s WeChat.
After Duan Bo left, Shi Na reluctantly dialed the numbers one by one, and without exception, everyone was busy with something!
This was unacceptable!
Suddenly, Shi Na became frantic.
What about getting doctors from another hospital to perform the surgeries?
No!
As soon as the idea surfaced, Shi Na dismissed it, knowing it would only complicate matters further.
Maybe call the ambulance service to transfer the patients? Wouldn’t transferring patients at this time invite scolding from their families?!
That no longer mattered.
Being scolded was the least of the concerns.
After all, the health of the patients was more important than anything else. If something went wrong, it would affect the whole emergency department, all the doctors.
With that in mind, Shi Na turned to Chen Cang and said, “Chen, get ready to talk to the patients’ families, to have them… contact the ambulance or transfer to another hospital.”
As soon as she said this, Chen Cang was taken aback, “This… Dr. Shi, don’t we have a spare operating room? We can do it ourselves! Plus, the patients are already here, why call an ambulance for a transfer? It would be embarrassing if word got out…”
Shi Na’s eyes widened, “Today there are 6 patients needing surgery, and tomorrow we need to schedule even more, a dozen or so. What are you going to do? Who’s going to do it!”
“The operating room is available, yes, but do you have a doctor to perform the surgery? Only Director Li and Old Chen in our department can do it. Director Li has a meeting today, and Old Chen is not here, so who will do it? You go do it!” “Furthermore, now is not the time to worry about losing face. Patient safety is the paramount concern. No matter what, we must ensure the life and health safety of the patient and not let anything go wrong. This isn’t about not making mistakes, it’s a matter of principle!”
Shi Na was very determined that if the surgery couldn’t be performed, they had to transfer the patient immediately to ensure the patient’s health.
As for losing face or anything else?
Does that matter in front of a patient’s health?
Hearing Shi Na’s decisiveness,
Chen Cang looked up, resolute, and said, “Right! I’ll do it! I can do it!”
Shi Na laughed out of exasperation at Chen Cang!
“Haha, Young Chen, have you forgotten who you are after a few words of incitement from Duan Bo?”
As she spoke, Shi Na got up to check the door and closed it: “Young Chen, let me tell you, don’t think that Duan Bo is any good,”
“His words earlier weren’t praising you, they were harming you!” “Removal of the gallbladder and appendectomy are two entirely different surgeries, with much more difficulty in the former. This is because after gallbladder disease, the Calot’s triangle is severely adhered, making separation difficult, plus the surgery requires high precision. Without sufficient experience and steady hands, it’s easy for surgical accidents to occur.” “Treatment of post-cholecystectomy syndrome is even more troublesome than the gallbladder removal itself. To put it bluntly, a surgery might cost 10,000 yuan, but treating complications afterward might cost a hundred thousand!” “If you damage the bile duct or cause bile leakage into the abdominal cavity, that’s biliary peritonitis. If you damage the hepatic artery, it’s severe bleeding! Don’t you remember the patient from surgery last year? It was supposed to be a simple cholecystolithiasis, which would have been fine after removal, but instead, bile leaked, leading to widespread peritonitis, resulting in a hospital stay of two months. Aside from the cost, the patient took the surgeon to court after being discharged.”
“Duan Bo is clearly taking advantage of your youthful zeal, trying to provoke you into rash action!”
Shi Na became more agitated as she spoke, having not a shred of a good impression of Duan Bo.
Others might not understand him, but Shi Na knew Duan Bo very well. They were classmates during their master’s and bachelor’s studies. She knew Duan Bo was full of malice inside, and moreover, he was Zhang Youfu’s loyal lapdog!
How could he have good intentions?
Shi Na was saying all this for Chen Gang’s sake as well, not wanting him to be used as a pawn at such a young age.
Chen Cang understood that Shi Na was afraid he might get into trouble, but he was indeed capable of performing the surgery, not only capable but also proficient!
“Teacher Shi, I understand what you’re saying, but… I really am skilled in cholecystectomy! And… I’m very good at it.”
Hearing Chen Gang’s words, Shi Na turned around. She had a good impression of Chen Cang, a young man who was grounded and not one to bluff. Seeing his repeated emphasis on his abilities…
Could he really do it?
If it were Wang Yong saying this, Shi Na would be 90% inclined not to believe it!
Seeing Chen Gang’s certainty, she hesitated: “Chen Cang, you do understand this is no joke, right? This concerns a patient’s life and health. We can’t afford the slightest mistake.”
Chen Cang nodded: “Teacher Shi, I am well aware! I would never joke about my career, let alone with a patient’s life.”
Shi Na was not an indecisive girl. As the lead of the emergency surgery team, she had to be decisive at this moment!
After a moment’s thought, Shi Na said, “Get ready, prepare for surgery!’
Upon hearing this, Chen Gang’s face brightened, and he immediately nodded. Today there were six people in need of surgery, and Chen Cang surely couldn’t handle it alone; he needed an assistant!
With this thought, Chen Cang dialed Wang Yong’s number: “There are a few surgeries this afternoon, do you have time?”
Wang Yong was currently aiming a 98K at the enemy’s head, lining up a shot that would most likely make the loot from the airdrop he had just picked up his own. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Chen Gang’s call came in. “Surgery? What surgery!” Wang Yong sat up promptly and asked eagerly.
What he needed most right now was the opportunity to operate. With an exam coming up, every surgery counted.
Chen Cang: “Cholecystectomy!”
Wang Yong was taken aback.
Chen Cang could actually perform such an impressive surgery?
