Chapter 987: Cannot Perform the Surgery
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The entire process of the surgery was uneventful. Su Yun played with his phone the whole time. Zheng Ren did not know why this guy could not leave his phone.
Was he not afraid that something would happen to his cervical vertebra?
Before he finished changing his clothes, the WeChat app on his phone gave him a notification, which made his phone rang.
It had to be Little Yiren. Zheng Ren thought that to himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Sneaky, what are you laughing at?” Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren’s smile, curled his lips, and asked disdainfully.
Zheng Ren did not say anything. He quickly changed his clothes and picked up his phone.
[Boss Zheng, in the operating theater, the patient from the Genitourinary Surgery Department is unable to get off the stage. President Yu asked me to let you know so that you can take a look when you have time.]
It was Lao He’s voice. His voice was very low, very depressed, very urgent, and a little flustered. The other side was in a mess. It was probably because he wanted to make a call but was called away to participate in the resuscitation. That was why he only left a message.
Zheng Ren was stunned.
Because it came on the external speaker, Su Yun also heard it.
He suddenly stood up and frowned. “Did something happen?”
“It could be possible,” Zheng Ren said in a low voice. Then, he replied to Lao He with a “Okay”, went to change his shoes, and quickly walked out of the changing room.
Su Yun followed behind Zheng Ren. The two of them jogged all the way to the operating theater.
They changed their clothes in a hurry, grabbed a sterile hat, and put it on their heads. As they put on the strap of the sterile mask, they walked in.
Zheng Ren felt that the air in the operating theater today was particularly heavy, perhaps due to the psychological effects.
He walked in quickly and saw people walking in and out of the operating theater with the door open. They were all silent and did not communicate with each other. They were just busy.
Zheng Ren guessed that it should be here.
He walked straight in and saw that there was resuscitation going on inside. As for the patient lying on the operating table, the background color of the System panel was a pale white, and there was no System diagnosis.
“He’s dead, there’s no hope...” Zheng Ren felt a chill in his heart.
Chief Miao had personally performed cardiac compressions. The movements were standard and the strength was just right. However, the waveform shown on the ECG monitor was a typical waveform of cardiac compressions. There were no signs of spontaneous fluctuations at all...
Zheng Ren knew that everything Chief Miao had done was in vain.
Lao He stood at a position near the outside and looked around.
“Lao He, what’s the situation?” Zheng Ren came to his side and asked in a low voice.
“Boss Zheng, you’re here,” Lao He said in surprise. “Take a look. Is there any hope?”
Zheng Ren was silent and slowly shook his head.
Lao He’s expression darkened. He did not say anything. He tugged at Zheng Ren’s clothes and gestured for Zheng Ren to follow him. Then, he walked out of the operating theater.
Zheng Ren felt that it was a little strange, but under such circumstances, it was not appropriate to ask anything. He followed Lao He downstairs to the anesthetist’s lounge.
At this time, it was the busiest time. The lounge was empty.
“Boss Zheng, would you like a cigarette?” Lao He took out a box of Yuxi and handed one to Zheng Ren.
“What’s going on?” Su Yun asked.
“Sigh, I’m afraid Chief Miao is in trouble. I just don’t know if he can avoid it.” Lao He lit the cigarette and sighed.
“Hurry up and say it. Don’t hesitate.” Su Yun was very impatient.
“Isn’t this the case where Chief Miao took in a patient a few days ago?” Lao He said, “A 22-year-old girl with advanced renal cancer. The big tumor has covered her kidney.”
Zheng Ren frowned. His brows were tightly knitted together, so tightly that water could be squeezed out from his eyes.
Did this kind of patient need surgery? The advanced stage of the tumor had no value in itself.
“Yesterday, Old Sui went to see the patient. When he came back, we talked for a while,” Lao He said. “He said that this female patient found out that the tumor was in the advanced stages. She went to several big hospitals and was told that she couldn’t get an operation.”
Zheng Ren and Su Yun were silent. The situation at that time was outlined in their minds.
“Then, one day, when Chief Miao came out for an expert consultation, the girl’s father broke in with her. After she went in, she directly knelt down before Chief Miao and said that she kowtowed until she bled.”
“Kowtowed? She wanted surgery? “Su Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Well, the girl’s father said that he only wanted to perform the surgery. Success or failure was fate. It had nothing to do with Chief Miao. The girl also said that it was the best if the surgery could be done. If it could not be done, she would die and, with that, she would not have to suffer.” Lao He’s voice was a little hoarse, even though he was just stating the incident, his heart was still in a mess.
“And then?” Zheng Ren and Su Yun asked at the same time.
This kind of thing would happen often. Since medical treatment entered the market more than ten years ago, the conflict between doctors and patients had gradually sharpened. The social status of doctors had gradually declined. The old ways of doing things had gradually withdrawn from the consciousness of doctors.
If it had been more than twenty years ago, it would have been easier to deal with such patients. If their families approved of it, then they would do it. Life and death were determined by fate, and wealth and honor were determined by heaven.
However, under the current circumstances, almost all doctors would refuse treatment.
The risks of the surgery were huge. Once there was a problem, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, it was not just at the moment, but almost certain that the surgery would fail.
Zheng Ren’s feelings were particularly deep. Last night, he had just performed a surgery to peel off the renal artery and the renal sympathetic nerve. If there was a slight mistake, many of the experimental subjects would have died.
This surgery was really impossible to perform.
“Later, Chief Miao was soft-hearted, so he stopped.” Lao He took a few puffs of smoke. The smoke came out, and the expression on his face seemed to have become a lot darker. “Yesterday, Old Sui went to see the patient before the operation. He felt that it was not good, so he chatted with Chief Yu for a while. Chief Yu said that there seemed to be some problems in the patient’s home, so he suggested that the surgery should not be carried out.”
“And then?” The question did not change. Whether it was Zheng Ren or Su Yun, they had already seen a tragedy unfolding.
“Nothing happened. Everyone in the Department of Genitourinary Surgery already knew about it. After completing the examination and discovering that the tumor had grown again, Chief Miao personally told the patient’s family that the surgery had to be stopped. After that, the patient and the patient’s father knelt in front of Chief Miao’s office. If they did not agree to the surgery, they would not get up. It was said that they knelt for an entire night until the next day, when Chief Miao went to work.”
“...”
“Think about it. Patients come and go in the ward. Who would not find this new? Everyone was talking about it. It was really stressful,” Lao He said. “Later, Chief Miao personally communicated with them and signed it before the surgery. He said that both the patient and the patient’s father approved of it. They knew that this surgery was a near-death experience, and they also approved of it.”
Zheng Ren and Su Yun could be considered veterans. They knew in their hearts that approval was approval. However, once they were unable to step down from the stage, it might not necessarily be the case.
“How was the surgery?”
“Open it up. The tumor had just been cut out, and the breathing and circulation stopped.” Lao He shook his head and said, “I took a look, and there was nothing to consider. The probability of this surgery being successful is not high. I saw that there was a ninety per cent chance that it could not come down.”
“I was just thinking about what if it was possible. President Yu told me a few words, and I left you a message.” Lao He was also very regretful. After he said that, he smoked silently.
The room was soon blue with their three pipes alone. His eyes were so hot that he could not open them.
But no one cared. Everyone had their own worries. They were calculating Chief Miao’s situation from their own experiences. They hoped that there was nothing wrong with him.
In the silence, his phone rang.
Zheng Ren took out his phone and took a look.
It was an unfamiliar number.
