Zheng Ren and Su Yun were stunned for a long time.
A shotgun. His entire body had been shot into a honeycomb, but he did not bleed! Then there were two shrapnel fragments that entered the chest. One was a few millimeters away from the aorta, and the other penetrated the pericardium but did not affect the heart muscle.
Johannes Mandy was right. Old Foley's luck must have been blessed by someone.
"Some time ago, the boss encountered a patient. The bullet entered the heart from the subclavian vein and was removed by interventional surgery." When Su Yun said this, there was still some resentment.
That day, he went to teach the children at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University and missed the surgery that could be said to be a lifetime. Speaking of it now, he was not confident. After all, he did not go on stage.
"Oh my god! Interventional surgery to remove the bullet from the heart! That's amazing! "Johannes Mandy said in surprise.
"Are Old Fulley's vital signs stable?" Zheng Ren asked.
"He's completely fine. He's as strong as a bear. When he came to us, the small wounds on his body were no longer bleeding, "Johannes Mandy said. Johannes Mandy said, "Because of this, the doctors were divided when they judged the patient's condition. Some said to open the chest to remove the shrapnel, while others said it was better to treat it conservatively.
"Now we lack the most authoritative conclusion."
Zheng Ren followed Johannes Mandy into the battery-powered car and carefully thought about the lucky man's injury.
Zheng Ren was also very critical of Bota Private Hospital. There were also disadvantages to being too big. They had to ride the battery-powered car everywhere. It was too exaggerated.
However, if others thought about it, they would definitely think it was quite amazing. Not everyone could run all the way up the stairs like Zheng Ren.
When they arrived at a conference room, Johannes Mandy got out of the car and led Zheng Ren to the room next to it.
"Doctor Zheng, Old Fulley's son is discussing the specific treatment with Dr. Blomberg from Charit Hospital. Take a look at the radiographic films first."
As he spoke, he walked into the room.
The room was very spacious and bright. When Zheng Ren walked in, he suddenly thought of Cui Lao's consultation room.
The room here was as big as eight to ten of Cui Lao's consultation rooms.
Spacious, bright, clean, and quiet. Zheng Ren did not know why this thought appeared in his mind, but he would go and see Cui Lao again when he went back.
"Doctor Zheng, Doctor Su, this is Old Fulley's radiographic films." Johannes Mandy retrieved the video information. Zheng Ren and Su Yun surrounded him without any hesitation. The professor stood behind and watched the radiographic films.
If Boss Zheng did not come, the professor would definitely give the main consultation opinion. However, with his boss here, the professor tactfully did not say a word.
Zheng Ren took a look at the 3D image and immediately lamented Old Fulley's good luck.
Two shrapnel entered the mediastinum: one stopped a few millimeters from the aortic arch, and the other penetrated the pericardium and lodged between the pericardium and the outer layer of the left ventricular wall.
CT angiography showed that there was no leakage of contrast agent from the aorta or pericardium.
In other words, the two shrapnel were very obedient. Although they were in his body, they did not cause any irreversible damage to Old Fulley. In fact … it couldn't even be said to have hurt him.
No matter which of the two shrapnel was slightly off, Zheng Ren would not be able to see the image data. There was no need to examine the dead, even in Berta's private hospital.
"Boss, the surgery is not difficult," Su Yun said after taking a look at the radiographic films.
"Yes, the surgery is indeed not difficult," Zheng Ren said. "Looking at the patient's current condition, there are no side injuries. I just don't know how the bullet entered the body and if the infection is serious. Let's take a look at the patient later. We can't make any conclusions yet. "
"What conclusion can't we make?" Su Yun frowned.
"I don't think the surgery is necessary. By the way, Mr. Johannes Mandy, what is the material of the shrapnel? Is it lead or steel? "Zheng Ren asked.
"It's steel."
"Then there's no need to take it out." Zheng Ren looked at the image and said, "That's my first thought. We'll have to look at the patient later to make a specific conclusion."
"Will there be an infection? The bullet in the heart … Do you still remember the hip replacement surgery we did in Nanyang? "
"The edge of the shrapnel is regular. It won't cause other damage to the heart because of the heartbeat." Zheng Ren pointed at the radiographic films and said, "It'll be safer if it's wrapped in the connective tissue. Other than not being able to do an MRI in the future, there shouldn't be any impact. "
"You're thinking too far ahead. You were almost shot into a sieve," Su Yun said.
"Boss, we really don't need to take it out? I think the bullet was near the aorta and the heart. If we're not careful, the whole wave will be gone, "Professor Rudolf Wagner said.
"From the imaging point of view, it's not necessary. The material of the shrapnel isn't lead, so the impact will be smaller. It'll take about a week to complete the initial wrapping and mechanization. From the radiographic films, the trajectory didn't cause muscle or fat tears. " Zheng Ren then sighed. "Even the ribs and sternum are fine. This person must have saved the universe in his previous life."
"Huh? He learned so quickly? "Su Yun asked.
Zheng Ren smiled. He was just expressing his emotions. The patient was really lucky. The human rib mainly protected the heart, lungs, and other important organs. Two bullet fragments had passed through the ribs and sternum, but there was not even a fracture …
However, it was difficult to say whether Old Fulley was lucky or not when he was mistaken for a bear by his stupid teammate.
Then, Zheng Ren took a look at the various tests. They were all normal. There was nothing worth noting.
"Mr. Johannes Mandy, take a look at Old Fulley," Zheng Ren said after reading all the test reports.
"Doctor Zheng, Doctor Su." Johannes Mandy stood up and took Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and the professor to the ward on the electric scooter.
This kind of private hospital was too big and empty. It was quiet but Zheng Ren felt that it was definitely a good place to film a horror film.
If it were the middle of the night, with the LED lights flashing and a figure in white holding a lancet, it would be enough to scare many people into screaming.
Zheng Ren did not feel afraid at all. Instead, he felt that it was quite picturesque.
The electric scooter moved on the smooth marble floor. The sound was soft and quiet. Zheng Ren suddenly felt that it would be great if everyone could enjoy such medical conditions.
However, this was just a fantasy. The ratio of medical staff to patients should be between 20: -50: 1. No matter what society it was, it was impossible to achieve such a ratio.
