Hospitals in ordinary counties and cities did not have pediatric surgeries.
In remote provinces, there were only one or two pediatric hospitals in the entire province, and most of them were mainly internal medicine. The number of doctors who could really perform pediatric surgery was also very small.
There was a shortage of pediatricians in the country, let alone pediatric surgeons who were more skilled.
However, the pediatric surgery department of 912 was one of the best in the country.
Zheng Ren rarely came into contact with pediatrics. Although Chief Kong habitually asked him to participate in the hospital consultation, he did not think of saying anything.
As soon as he approached the pediatric ward, the sound of wailing came from afar.
Zheng Ren felt a little uncomfortable. A forty-day-old newborn was gone just like that. Who could bear it?
Although he had never come into contact with pediatric surgeries, the previous [Redemption] mission had given him some experience points and surgical training time. If it was … it would probably be difficult. He would talk about the specifics later.
He knew that pediatric surgery and general surgery were two completely different concepts. It was not that easy to become proficient in them and reach the level of a master.
In the past, when he operated on Chief Sun's grandson, the child was already considered a big child. His situation was completely different from a newborn.
Walking into the corridor of the pediatric surgery department, a couple who looked to be around 60 years old were hugging their heads and crying. A middle-aged doctor stood in front of them with a worried face and a little sad.
The child was probably difficult to save, Zheng Ren immediately judged.
"Doctor, no matter what the risk is, we will bear it. As long as there is a chance, please save my grandson. " The old man was still sober. As he wailed, he pulled the doctor's sleeve and begged bitterly.
"Sir, the hospital has now asked the whole hospital for a consultation. Many experts have come to treat your grandson. We will inform you as soon as we find the most suitable method, "the pediatric surgeon said repeatedly.
"Please, please." As the old lady spoke, her knees went soft and she almost knelt down.
This was going to shorten her lifespan. The pediatric surgeon was so scared that he immediately helped the old lady up and comforted her with kind words.
"Boss, have you performed surgery on children before?" Su Yun asked.
"I haven't done it before. I don't know what often happens to some children. But if someone is guiding from the side, I don't think there will be a problem. "Zheng Ren thought about it all the way. When Su Yun asked, he blurted out.
"I don't know if we have a chance to go on stage," Su Yun said.
"The pediatric surgery department's technical strength is very strong. If it's not a rare disease, I probably won't have a chance to go up," Zheng Ren said.
As they spoke, they arrived at the door of the doctor's office.
The door was closed. At a glance, one could tell that more than a dozen experts and professors were sitting inside, discussing the condition of the child together.
He gently knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Lin Ge was sitting inside. When he saw Zheng Ren, he smiled as a form of greeting. In this kind of situation, it was not good to be too intimate. Lin Ge had a good sense of propriety.
More than ten chief physicians and professors from the Department of Internal and External Pediatrics sat in the office, and a resident doctor was reporting the patient's history.
Zheng Ren noticed that she did not have the medical records with her. She blurted out everything, including the results of the various tests and tests done outside the hospital.
The pediatric surgery department was really well-trained, he thought.
They found a place, sat down, and listened carefully to the resident doctor's medical history report.
It turned out that this doctor was not a pediatric surgeon, but a doctor from the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Right now, the child was suffering from ventricular fibrillation and was being resuscitated in the NICU under the leadership of the director.
The patient was already very serious when he was sent to the hospital. He was not in a good condition now, so he urgently asked the whole hospital for consultation. It probably wouldn't take long. Everyone would share their opinions and suggestions. As long as the patient's condition stabilized a little, they would be able to go on stage.
His condition was serious and could not be delayed.
It was possible that the life and death of a small life could be decided in ten minutes.
The resident doctor briefly reported the patient's medical history, and everyone's faces were extremely serious. The patient's radiographic films were inserted into the radiographic film viewer, and Chief Wu of the pediatric surgery department began to give their opinions.
It was unknown what caused the intestinal obstruction, and the intestinal cavity was very obvious. No wonder Su Yun said that the child's stomach was bulging like a balloon.
Zheng Ren noticed that the child had been sick for 28 hours. It was impossible to treat it in a county or city outside the city, so the family rushed to the Imperial Capital.
It was estimated that there would be a large number of necrotic segments of the intestine that needed to be removed. It was very difficult for small patients to recover after the surgery.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ren sighed.
It was not a difficult disease, so the surgery would not be a problem. However, the problem was that after the surgery, even if the patient could be saved, there would be major nutritional problems in the next few years, and it would cost a lot of money.
Of course, this was the premise that the child could survive ventricular fibrillation and be able to undergo surgery.
During the consultation of the whole hospital, the chief physicians and professors who came simply said a few words. The diagnosis was very clear — mesenteric hiatus hernia, intestinal obstruction.
It had to be an emergency surgery. As long as the NICU's condition was stable, it would be directly sent to the operating theater.
Lin Ge immediately contacted Chief Xu of the operating theater.
A 40-day child, whether it was surgery or anesthesia, was not something that an ordinary person could do. If anything went wrong, a ventricular fibrillation would make the child die.
Chief Xu answered the phone and immediately went to prepare. Chief Wei of the gastroenterology department had to go on stage. After all, it was related to the gastroenterology department. If he went up, he could help take a look.
The consultation of the whole hospital came and went in a hurry. The unrelated people dispersed, and Zheng Ren left with Chief Kong.
In the corridor, the old couple was still crying. Another doctor stayed in the office and quickly printed the preoperative instructions. He was ready to let the patient's family sign it immediately.
"Boss Zheng, aren't you going up to take a look?" Chief Kong asked.
"Yes … I'll go and take a look." Zheng Ren's heart was a little stifled. He knew that it did not matter if he went up or not.
The diagnosis was clear. The chief of the 912 did not grow up eating rice. If he could not even diagnose mesenteric hiatus hernia and intestinal obstruction, then he would be no different from Sea City General Hospital.
As for the surgery, it was not that difficult. The problem was the preoperative cardiac arrest and postoperative nutritional rehabilitation.
"Chief Kong, what's the situation with Dr. Mehar?" Su Yun took this opportunity to go up.
"There's someone in the medical administration division who's in contact with Dr. Mehar's assistant. The doctor came to the hospital to be hospitalized the day before the surgery." Chief Kong was more familiar with the surgeon than Zheng Ren.
"When can I see the preoperative radiographic films and the like?" Zheng Ren asked.
"It's said that Dr. Mehar will come with the information in the afternoon. Don't you know about this?" Chief Kong looked at Zheng Ren in surprise.
"…" Zheng Ren was speechless.
For patients like Dr. Mehar, he still had little experience in dealing with them. After the ward round, he thought that everything was fine and directly forgot about the old man.
As for Dr. Mehar, he did not expect that someone would not value him so much. Deputy Director Yuan of the 912 came forward to arrange all of this. He thought that Zheng Ren would know.
He did not know which part of the process went wrong and caused such a ruckus. Fortunately, Zheng Ren knew about it before Dr. Mehar came, so everything was not a problem.
"Boss Zheng, come to the operating theater and help take a look?" Chief Wei walked out of the NICU opposite the pediatric surgery department and said hurriedly behind him.
