Zheng Ren nodded and followed Old Chief Physician Pan to the ICU workstation. Zheng Ren focused on the patient's recent test results and progress records.
The patient's condition was very serious. The shocking data on the test results sent chills down one's spine.
The more Zheng Ren read, the deeper his frown became.
A few minutes later, Old Chief Physician Pan said, "Zheng Ren, this patient isn't suitable for surgery. There are obvious contraindications."
"If I don't do it, I don't think he'll survive the night," Zheng Ren said.
The patient's condition was obvious.
There was an 80% chance of death if he underwent surgery.
There was a 100% chance that he would die if he did not undergo surgery.
If this was a video game, most doctors would choose surgery as a last resort.
However, this was the real world. How a doctor chose to treat a patient was closely related to the general environment of society.
Faced with such a situation, almost all doctors would choose not to perform surgery.
Even if there were doctors who were willing to risk an 80% mortality rate for surgery, whether they could perform it or not was another matter. Even if the surgery was successful, the patient's postoperative recovery would cost a lot of money, and the patient's family would not approve of it.
Old Chief Physician Pan noticed Zheng Ren's determination and focused on the test results. "I'll talk to the family."
"Chief, let me do it," Zheng Ren said, feeling a warmth in his heart.
In the eyes of doctors, this kind of thing was a mess. Whether it was serious or not, as long as it was involved, it would definitely stink.
If it was done well, no one would praise it. It was only right.
If it was not done well, well … it would be the end of the world.
Old Chief Physician Pan had said that he would talk to the family, but the implied meaning was that he wanted to shoulder most of the responsibility.
"Prepare your preoperative communication. If the family is cooperative, hurry up and perform the surgery." Old Chief Physician Pan stood up abruptly and walked out of the ICU.
"Little Zheng, Old Chief Physician Pan is really good to you," Chief Qian reminded him.
"Yes, I know," Zheng Ren replied while typing the preoperative consent form. "This is not a good job."
"Then …"
Chief Qian did not continue. His words were full of meaning.
"We can't just watch the patient die, can we?" Zheng Ren said.
"Little Zheng, what do you want to do? Tell me briefly, "Chief Qian asked.
"Interventional radiography, find the bleeding point, and then determine the surgical method based on the intraoperative situation," Zheng Ren said.
Chief Qian memorized Zheng Ren's words and fell silent. Subconsciously, he felt that it would be very difficult to determine the location of the intestinal bleeding point with contrast.
However, he was not an interventional surgeon after all. Other than seeing Zheng Ren perform a few interventional surgeries to stop bleeding in Sea City General Hospital, he had basically never seen an interventional surgery patient. Therefore, he wanted to consult his classmates in the Provincial Capital.
Zheng Ren quickly printed out the signed form and took it to Old Chief Physician Pan.
Old Chief Physician Pan was communicating with the patient's family. The patient's wife, who looked to be in her seventies, was wiping her tears as she listened to Old Chief Physician Pan explain the patient's condition.
Behind her stood a few middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, their expressions solemn.
When Old Chief Physician Pan heard his footsteps, he turned around and said, "Sign it then."
The patient's husband's hands were trembling, frightened by Old Chief Physician Pan. Old Chief Physician Pan was not trying to scare them. He was just stating the facts.
Not everyone had the courage to face death.
Seeing that the old lady was unable to sign, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked up from behind her, picked up a pen, and silently signed.
The pen was heavy, like signing a life and death contract.
After signing, Zheng Ren called Su Yun and asked him to send the patient off. He and Old Chief Physician Pan went straight to the emergency operating room.
"The patient's family is quite cooperative and thoughtful. It seems that there shouldn't be a problem," Old Chief Physician Pan said when they were far away from the patient's family.
"Yes," Zheng Ren replied.
"If you can do it, do it. If not, just determine the location of the bleeding point with the contrast. If not, you can also ask the chief physician in the Provincial Capital for a consultation, "Old Chief Physician Pan reminded.
Zheng Ren knew that Old Chief Physician Pan was afraid that he was young and impetuous. He had just returned from Imperial Capital and was in high spirits, forcing himself to perform the surgery.
"Chief, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Zheng Ren comforted Old Chief Physician Pan.
After that, there was nothing else to be said. Only the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor.
They rushed to the emergency operating room. When Chu Yanzhi heard the door open, she asked loudly, "What surgical method?"
"Hybrid surgery," Zheng Ren answered simply.
"Okay, I'll ask Little Yiren to prepare," Chu Yanzhi said immediately.
Then, there was a faint sound of laughter that disappeared in a flash. A few figures got busy.
Zheng Ren called Yang Lei and asked him to come up for surgery.
Ten minutes later, Su Yun, Department Chief Qian, and Department Chief Sun rushed over with the patient.
Department Chief Sun did not go home. Instead, he followed them curiously.
Department Chief Sun had seen many such patients in his life. Department Chief Sun did not believe Zheng Ren at all when he said he could treat it.
However, with Chief Surgeon Liu's example, Department Chief Sun did not dare to fight Zheng Ren, especially with Old Chief Physician Pan standing behind him.
Zheng Ren was just a junior doctor. No matter how good he was, he could not change the world. However, Old Chief Physician Pan was a colossus behind him.
Otherwise, Department Chief Sun would not have allowed the emergency department to snatch so many emergency surgeries from the general surgery department.
If Zheng Ren did well, he would applaud sincerely and flatter Old Chief Physician Pan at the same time to extinguish his desire to earn back emergency surgeries.
If he did well, well, everything was possible.
The patient was carried to the operating table. Zheng Ren patted Su Yun's shoulder and said, "Today's surgery. You drank, so don't go."
Su Yun was stunned for a moment before nodding.
Yang Lei was married and preparing for a child, so Zheng Ren did not let him perform the interventional surgery.
Standing alone in front of the operating table was a strange feeling.
It was easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple.
At that moment, a System notification rang. "Ding dong ~"
[Emergency Mission: Rescue.
[Mission Content: To become a good doctor, there are many times when you have to make a choice. To rescue or to give up, to take responsibility or to retreat, it all depends on your decision. Please complete emergency hemostasis surgery for lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
[Mission Reward: 200 skill points, 2000 experience points.
[Mission Time: 5 hours.]
Uh …
Zheng Ren was stunned when he saw the mission, then smiled bitterly.
When he was in Imperial Capital, the reward for any mission was drooling. Now that he was back in Sea City, the mission reward … was really small.
Could it be that the mission reward was related to the housing price in the System's judgment? A thought popped up in Zheng Ren's mind. He immediately held his breath and concentrated. After disinfection, he cannulated the femoral artery and inserted the artery sheath.
At the same time, in Xinglin Garden, the long-dormant live broadcast room was finally live again.
