Chapter 279 Reconsideration of surgery!(1/2)
Chapter 279 Surgery ‘Reconsideration’!
"The amputation surgery has been successfully completed. The patient has now been sent to the ICU. His vital signs are currently stable and his life is not in danger." When Professor Snow reported to Xu Shixiong's family, he was actually feeling quite depressed.
Isn't that right? The other party gave him 8,000 US dollars to perform a limb-sparing operation on the patient, but in the end he went to the operating room to perform an amputation operation that even a resident doctor could perform, and received 8,000 US dollars.
Although the money is easy to make, it is really a ridiculous thing for Snow and Otus.
If this incident spreads, they will probably be ridiculed in the industry for a while, because the price of this consultation surgery is a bit too high.
If they had known that the patient's condition was so troublesome, they would not have agreed to this matter of making extra money. But before seeing the patient, who could have predicted all this?
Mr. Xu’s name is Xu Qiang. He is nearly seventy years old this year. He is a native of Magic City and has worked hard in Magic City all his life. Although his son did not choose to inherit his old career, he is still quite competitive and has won many awards for the country as an athlete.
Some gold medals, although the highest honor in the Olympics is only a silver medal, is still quite difficult.
In fact, his requirements for Xu Shixiong were not high, and he did not even need to rely on his own ability to make money to live. On the contrary, seeing that Xu Shixiong had his own pursuits and that athletes were also a profession that brought glory to the country and his face, he
In fact, I feel that my son is very successful.
However, I didn't expect that my son, who was only in his thirties, would have his career cut off.
Xu Qiang has watched Xu Shixiong strive for his so-called sports ideals since he was a few years old. He trained very hard, getting up early before the rooster crows and going to bed late after the dog bed.
So many years of hard work have been wasted today. How can he accept this?
For the whole family, although the son is still alive, it is not the cruelest blow. But for Xu Shixiong personally, he has been amputated and will definitely not be able to compete in the future. His career will be interrupted, which must be a very difficult thing.
things to accept.
But now things have become a foregone conclusion. Unless a god descends to earth, there is really nothing that can be done.
Xu Shixiong is a badminton player. Without his legs, he will never be able to play again!
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Snow and Professor Otters. This is the remaining part of the reward we agreed on before." Xu Qiang suppressed his complicated emotions and paid the remaining three thousand that he had discussed with Snow and Oster.
The US dollars were handed to two people in two cards.
Neither Snow nor Otes accepted the offer, but said: "Mr. Xu, we are very sorry that we were not able to achieve the purpose you expected. Our original intention of doing the surgery was not to make money, and we did not do what we should do. What is left is
We won’t take the money you placed.”
"We can only blame our limited capabilities. I'm really, really sorry. It's getting late now. Mr. Xu, who just had surgery, won't wake up until tomorrow morning. You should go and rest early. We have to catch tomorrow's flight."
Back to Australia. Professor Oates is going back to England. After returning home to adjust for the jet lag, he still has a lot of work to do."
Professor Oates and Professor Snow are from England and Australia respectively. This time they came to Devil for invitations to have a meeting. They landed on Friday morning, had Friday off, and had meetings on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Xu Qiang just found out
With this rumor, he asked an acquaintance to invite the two of them to perform surgery on his son.
Today is Saturday. At the meeting tomorrow morning, Otes and Snow will be the chairmen of the meeting tomorrow, not the speakers, so they don’t need to expend too much energy and can still be lazy for a while!
Otes had talked with Snow and Xu Qiang before they started the operation. He was just trying his best and would not make any guarantees. If he asked to save his leg, then whoever should perform the operation would be the one who would go on stage anyway.
.and even signed it.
So Xu Qiang didn't say much at this moment. After thanking him again, he sent Snow and Otus back to the hotel.
It's just that these two people came here this time, it was really lonely. It was obviously ridiculous to go to the Orthopedics Department of the Ninth Hospital for an operation that could be done by the chief resident, but it took so much trouble. And he
After all these setbacks, the leg that had a chance to be saved ended up being amputated.
This has to be said to be a kind of irony.
When Xu Shixiong's wife heard that her husband's leg had been amputated, she sat there in a daze and looked very lonely. She could now imagine her husband's disappointed expression once he woke up.
Today is the weekend, and Xu Shixiong's training tasks are not heavy, so she strongly requested Xu Shixiong to take her to the mall. Fortunately, the child was taken by her grandma today and did not follow her. Otherwise, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
Xu Shixiong originally just wanted to rest at home for a while after training, but she called him out. Once he came out, he would have to rest forever. This was the reason why she felt very guilty and very emotional.
After thinking about all this, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that her husband's leg could have been saved, but maybe it was Cao Mengda and the assistants brought by Cao Mengda who caused the problem!
Only now has this irreversible result occurred. Snow and Ortes are internationally recognized experts and masters in vascular surgery and orthopedics. If they take action, they will definitely not let the operation fail!
Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Dad, do you think it's possible that Cao Mengda and his assistant failed the operation, so they didn't dare to come to meet us? That's why they have been avoiding us?"
"I think that must be the case."
Xu Qiang's face was expressionless, his expression was solemn, and the sharp light in his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
Then, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. To be cautious, you can ask your friend in the Ninth Courtyard."
"Ding Yuanyi has helped us a lot today. When you were talking to him before, your emotions were a little too intense. It's no longer easy to ask him for help."
When Xu Shixiong's wife heard this, she seemed to be reminded of something, and then she made a phone call directly.
After almost three minutes, she was very surprised and said: "Dad, there is a way. My friend said that the Ninth Hospital is one of the top teaching hospitals in the country, and there are several very hidden cameras in every operating room.
, this camera can film the surgical process from all angles."
"However, this camera is installed inside the department and is used to capture teaching surgical videos for academic exchanges or teaching."
"But the location of the USB flash drive of the camera and the people who can get these videos are the teaching secretaries and directors of each department. It is not easy to get these videos. However, although it is not easy, there is a video recording of the surgery.
, there must be something they did wrong.”
"They caused Shixiong to have his limb amputated. I must ask them for an explanation. At least I want them to apologize to Shixiong in public."
"And if anything goes wrong during the operation, then I will hold them legally responsible!"
Although Xu Qiang is not a member of the medical system, he probably knows that many scenes in the operating room are not suitable for widespread broadcast. There may be some small mistakes during the operation, which cannot withstand the careful and strict inspection.
Thoughtful.
Logically speaking, monitoring equipment is not allowed to be installed in the operating room.
Moreover, even if you find this kind of surveillance video, it would be a bit inhumane to deliberately find some small mistakes in the video to target people. Doing so will definitely lead to enmity.
However, in this current situation, what will happen if we make enemies or not?
If it is really their problem, then the guilt caused by what I have done before will be slightly smaller.
There must be something wrong with their surgical procedure.
People are like this!
After making a mistake, they will find various reasons to explain their mistake and give various extreme or biased explanations.
If Xu Qiang himself had not had to replace him midway, the result of Xu Shixiong's surgery is still unknown, but no matter what, it would not be worse than it is now.
After Xu Qiang thought about it for a while, he said decisively: "I'm going to think of a way to see if I can pull up the surgery video. Then I'll ask a few professor friends from Ruijin Hospital to watch the video."
After saying that, Xu Qiang left again.
Xu Shixiong's wife walked to the door of the ICU and found a chair to sit on. Then she thought about it and decided not to tell her mother-in-law, Xu Shixiong's mother, about Xu Shixiong's amputation. She was afraid that she would always be proud of Xu Shixiong.
My mother-in-law couldn't accept it for a while.
In fact, she herself can’t accept it!
But now it's settled, and there's no way to save it.
It has to be said that Xu Qiang really has a little bit of weight. He just spent some money to get through people and asked a doctor friend to take him to the hospital on the grounds that he wanted to observe the surgical procedures of Professor Snow and Professor Oates.
Got the video.
Moreover, this doctor is from the Ninth Hospital, the teaching secretary of the Second Ward of Vascular Surgery, and a doctor from the Ninth Hospital. He is always on the stage, performing surgeries, consulting and seeing patients. He is so busy that his head is dizzy.
Do you care about trivial things like who has an unpleasant incident with whom?
He actually didn't know about the conflict between Cao Mengda and Xu Qiang. The person Xu Qiang entrusted also found the vascular surgery doctor through a third-level relationship. He didn't know the purpose of asking for the surgery video. He only thought that the other person
I really want to learn the surgical procedures of Professor Oates and Snow.
He had a backup here, and Professor Snow's position in the world of vascular surgery was very high. As a teaching hospital, hiding secrets was not the behavior a teaching hospital should have, so he shared it.
Xu Qiang successfully obtained the surgery video, and then went directly to the home of a friend of his in the Vascular Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital.
It was late at night, and Xu Qiang also explained the purpose of his visit very simply and straightforwardly: "Old Yu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. But something happened suddenly today. You should also know about the explosion that happened in Pu District today."
"My son Shixiong unfortunately injured his leg in the explosion and was sent to the Ninth Hospital for rescue and emergency surgery. However, during the operation, I found that a non-vascular surgeon was performing a vascular thrombectomy on my son.
Surgery. Maybe there was an accident during the surgery, which led to Shixiong’s leg being amputated.”
"So I hope you can watch the surgery video and give me some guidance. I'm not trying to cause any trouble for him. I just want to know clearly whether my son's amputation surgery was done unfairly or not."
The Lao Yu mentioned by Xu Qiang, whose full name is Yu Minzhi, is one of the most well-known professors of the Vascular Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital.
Of course, compared to the popularity and authority in the industry, it is definitely not as good as internationally renowned celebrities such as Professor Snow, but it is definitely okay to observe the flaws and mistakes in the surgical videos.
Yu Minzhi knew that an explosion had occurred, but maybe there were not many patients sent to Ruijin, so he did not receive calls or messages from the department asking him to participate in rescue or emergency surgery. For this reason, he deliberately did not turn off his phone.
Hearing Xu Qiang say this, even though it was extremely late, I also knew that as a badminton player, Xu Shixiong's amputation was a devastating blow to him.
Therefore, he was not angry for a moment, but said: "Old Xu, come in quickly, why didn't you inform me about such a big thing happening to Shixiong? Shixiong's vascular thrombectomy was not Director Yin of the Ninth Hospital
Did you do it?”
"Director Yin Yu is also very accomplished in this area. If he hadn't removed it, it would be very difficult to remove the blood clot."
Xu Qiang shook his head and said: "The person who operated on Shixiong was an orthopedic surgeon, but I don't know who the doctor who removed the thrombus was. He probably wasn't from the Ninth Hospital. He was a friend or something invited by the orthopedic surgeon.
.”
"I just don't give up. You said that my son's blood clot should be handled by a professional vascular surgeon, so that's it. But today's situation is quite special. No one from the Ninth Hospital specializing in vascular surgery is around."
