The first patient was ready when he entered the operating theater.
Feng Xuhui stood in the operating theater with a silver suitcase in hand.
The suitcase was filled with the corresponding medical supplies used in the TIPS surgery.
Zheng Ren familiarized himself with the operating theater. The interventional radiology operating theater in the Secondary Hospital was different from the hybrid operating theater in the emergency department. It was not new after all. Replacing it with a double-arm machine would cost around ten million yuan. The Secondary Hospital could not afford it.
However, it was usable.
At least it was better than the gastrointestinal machine.
Zheng Ren inserted the patient's scans into the radiographic film viewer out of habit. He crossed his arms and visualized the surgery process in his mind for the last time.
The operating theater was silent as they watched the busy professor in the operating theater and Zheng Ren quietly reading the scans.
Chief Cheng Lixue of the interventional radiology department pursed his lips and said, "You think you're so great just because you're a foreigner?"
Feng Xuhui stood in the corner and laughed inwardly.
This was the kind of person who would not survive more than three episodes in a TV series. He did not even ask who the foreigner in charge of disinfection and local anesthesia was before he started scolding him.
Director Zhang said, "We want a successful TIPS surgery. This is a new and important page in the history of the Secondary Hospital. Chief Cheng, learn from him. I'm looking forward to the day when we can successfully perform TIPS surgery. "
Cheng Lixue only expressed his dissatisfaction. He did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the director.
Although Cheng Lixue and Director Zhang had been assigned to the hospital in the same year, he was now the director! He could not stand a few pairs of shoes to wear.
His irritation had something to do with the little shoe.
Recently, the leadership of the Secondary Hospital had decided to split some departments into groups. The deputy chief would lead a team to compete with the chief.
Who would be willing to split a department into two? It meant that the chief's authority would be greatly reduced.
The advantage was that everyone would be in high spirits. After all, they would have to fight hand-to-hand and the surgery volume would not increase. As the chief, he would still have the face to stand on stage and say three or four times during the year-end report.
Everyone's eyes were shining. If the surgery volume did not increase, they would die.
Therefore, Cheng Lixue was in low spirits recently. The leisurely days of the past were probably gone.
This time, Director Zhang had invited a small chief resident from Sea City General Hospital to perform TIPS surgery! Although the deputy chief was not at home and had gone to Provincial Capital to learn TIPS surgery, it was good news for Cheng Lixue.
But …
After all, that was a TIPS surgery. Could a chief resident perform it? Cheng Lixue did not think that the First People's Hospital was that much better than the Secondary People's Hospital.
In terms of liver diseases, whether it was interventional radiology or surgery, the Secondary Hospital was much better than the First Hospital.
After all, it was a specialist.
Principal Zhang had gone senile, he was really playing the zither at random! Cheng Lixue cursed silently, but he calmed down and did not continue to criticize Zheng Ren.
"Director Ren is rushing back from the Provincial Capital. We only have one goal. Old Cheng, you have to look at the big picture," Director Zhang reminded him again.
What a numbing view of the overall situation! Cheng Lixin criticized in his heart.
Such a young chief resident from the Emergency Department knew how to perform TIPS surgery?
Even if he really knew how to do it and could get it done, Chief Cheng felt annoyed whenever he saw young people.
The few young associate chief physicians and attending physicians who were working under him seemed to be very respectful toward him. Who knew if they had gone to work for Director Ren?
He had been in charge of the department for almost twenty years. He did not expect that he would have to divide the department into groups before he retired!
What a fool!
Cheng Lixue was only a department chief and did not have the authority to take charge of the hospital. Therefore, he placed all his resentment on Zheng Ren, as if Zheng Ren was one of the associate chief physicians who wanted to step on his shoulders to climb up the ranks.
Professor Rudolf Wagner disinfected the wound and began the puncture.
Zheng Ren put on his lead apron and washed his hands.
"Director Zhang, this surgery should be performed by the foreigner, right?" Cheng Lixue asked when he saw Professor Rudolf finish the puncture and begin to insert the guide wire.
"No, I saw it with my own eyes in Sea City General Hospital. The foreign professor is Chief Zheng's assistant."
"Tsk," Cheng Lixue scolded softly.
Using a foreign professor as an assistant? Is your IQ low or your EQ low?
Not to mention Sea City, even if it was the provincial capital's professors, whose standards were not necessarily high, who could order the foreign professors around?
"Chief Zheng's skills are indeed very high." The plump man knew why Cheng Lixue was jumping up and down. He stepped forward and said, "When I went to deliver the scans yesterday, I ran into a patient with a cardiac tamponade."
"Oh?" Director Zhang's interest was piqued. "What happened after that?"
"I ran down to take a look. Chief Zheng's skills in emergency treatment are simply too high. He cut open the chest, put his hand in, and did cardiac compressions under direct vision," the plump man said with admiration. The short fatty said with admiration, "At first, blood gushed out of his chest and went up to the roof."
"Oh? Where's the patient? "
"His heartbeat returned and he went to the operating room," the plump man said.
"Even if he's skilled in emergency treatment, he might not be able to perform TIPS surgery," Chief Cheng said.
"Old Cheng," Director Zhang scolded, dissatisfied.
Director Zhang could not say anything because they had been classmates for many years. He had made the decision and Director Ren had approved it. Cheng Lixue could not see the situation clearly and still wanted to be the villain?
Nonsense.
Cheng Lixue frowned and turned to leave.
He walked to the changing room, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.
Even if the foreign professor performed the TIPS surgery, it was not a big deal. However, if the surgery was successful, he could not say anything.
However, the foreign professor could not personally perform emergency treatment.
He had to find out more about this matter.
He did not believe that an emergency rescue such as cutting open the chest and performing cardiac compressions under direct vision could be successful.
The probability of this happening was so low … That young chief resident was too bold.
As he pondered, the call connected.
"Old Qian, it's Old Cheng."
"What's up, Old Cheng?"
The other side asked. Cheng Lixue was looking for Chief Qian from the ICU of Sea City General Hospital.
"Can I ask you something? My friend asked me to find out. Did you have a patient with cardiac tamponade yesterday? "
"Yes, the injured party asked you to find out." Chief Qian said with a smile, "No need to ask, the patient has been transferred out of the ICU."
Cheng Lixue was disdainful. Look, the patient is already dead and he's still bragging. Cutting open the chest and performing cardiac compressions under direct vision. Is this something a human can do?
"Oh, okay. The patient is dead. I'll tell them so they can be prepared. "
"Dead? Who's dead? Old Cheng, you didn't understand what I said, did you? The patient was extubated and transferred out of the ICU. The rescue was timely and the surgery was successful. He's fine now. "
Cheng Lixue was stunned.
Cardiac tamponade and he was fine the next day?
