Chapter 721: Recommending Lu Shan
Several authoritative experts took turns examining Gu Jingyi's X-rays, and their expressions were all very solemn.
The situation is not optimistic.
Finally, the X-ray was handed to Bai Zhi. After reviewing it, she asked Director Wang, "Director Wang, I just looked at this comrade's X-ray. The bone has a comminuted fracture, and it has been there for quite some time. Can you guarantee that he will recover to a normal state after the surgery?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure."
One of the orthopedic surgeons explained, "His injury is too severe, mainly due to the serious secondary injury and bone dislocation, especially in the femoral neck area. We cannot guarantee the extent of his recovery after surgery."
Other doctors chimed in, "Yes, he injured his femoral neck. We're worried that a failed surgery could lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head."
Director Li emphasized, "This comrade is still very young. What soldiers fear most is physical injury, which may prevent them from engaging in high-intensity activities later on. We must take this into account."
"The most authoritative people in our hospital's orthopedics department are Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang. Unfortunately, they went to country Y to attend an academic conference and won't be back for another two weeks."
Director Li was troubled upon hearing their words. "This conference is very important. It is an international academic conference where experts from home and abroad gather to exchange and learn from each other. We will also be visiting a hospital in Country Y later to discuss cooperation with them. I'm afraid we won't be able to call someone back in advance to perform the surgery."
If the two directors are brought back ahead of schedule, then their hospital's efforts to align with international standards and exchange and learn from each other will be wasted.
But right now, this comrade's situation is also very critical.
This is a hero who went undercover for two years!
His surgery had to be absolutely flawless.
There can be no mistakes.
Director Wang suggested that if Director Liu could not return, they could invite authoritative experts in this field from other affiliated hospitals.
Director Li felt that this method was not impossible, so he asked them to recommend candidates.
Several doctors recommended orthopedic experts they knew.
"I also have a candidate here, the leaders can take a look."
Bai Zhi said, "Lu Shan, Director of the Department of Orthopedics at Nancheng Military Region Hospital."
“She is very authoritative in this field. When I was at Nancheng Hospital, I had the privilege of working with her. She was the one who performed Lu Ye’s surgery.”
Mentioning Lu Ye sparked interest among all the bigwigs.
His recovery is evident to all.
Bai Zhi explained, "Lu Ye's perfect recovery in the later stages is inseparable from Dr. Lu's superb surgical skills."
"Okay, I have received everyone's opinions. I will discuss it with Dean Liu and the others later."
Director Li said to Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, the hospital will handle the surgery. As for the drug residue in this comrade's body, we still need your help. Please come up with a treatment plan as soon as possible, and we will start treatment immediately after the surgery."
"Okay, you can transfer to our hospital for treatment after the surgery. We will make preparations to receive you in advance."
"Also, what's the condition of his face? It looks very well bandaged," Director Li asked Director Wang.
"His face was injured by a sharp weapon," Director Wang sighed. "I'm afraid it will never be able to recover to its original state."
"The dermatology surgeons came to see it before, and they were the ones who treated the bandages."
Director Li ordered them, "Put the external injuries aside for now; saving lives is the most important thing."
The several types of drug poisoning in his body alone could kill him. In addition, there was the discussion among the doctors earlier. The leg surgery is very complicated, and if it is not done well, the leg will be useless later.
Let alone staying in the military, even the most basic living conditions will become a problem.
When this comrade was brought here last night, the comrades from the military were very excited. They heard that he had been sent undercover for two years and had been rescued after being injured like this. As doctors, they had to do everything they could to save his life and minimize the damage.
For a real man, a facial injury or a scar is no big deal, but his leg is of utmost importance.
After the consultation, Director Li held another meeting with several leaders from the military and hospital leaders.
When Bai Zhi returned to the office, Lu Ye was still there.
"Is it Battalion Commander Gu...?"
Bai Zhi's expression was solemn. "Yes, he was poisoned by several kinds of drugs, and the leg surgery was also quite complicated."
"Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, who are skilled in this type of orthopedic surgery, are currently attending an academic conference abroad and cannot return for the time being, so I recommended Director Lu Shan to them."
Upon hearing her words, Lu Ye looked at her in surprise, "You mean my sister?"
Bai Zhi nodded, "That's right."
“She is an authority in the field of orthopedic surgery. Battalion Commander Gu’s surgery is very complex and cannot tolerate any mistakes, so I recommended her to the hospital. Now it’s up to the hospital leaders to decide.”
Although her recommendation of Lu Shan may have been driven by some personal bias and self-interest, Lu Shan is indeed very skilled in this type of surgery.
Under no circumstances should Gu Jingyi lose a leg like he did in his previous life.
Femoral neck fracture surgery is very prone to failure. Once hip joint necrosis occurs, there is no possibility of returning to the military in the later stages.
Let alone returning to the army, once a young man's femoral head dies, even the most basic life becomes a problem. The replacement surgery of that era was very immature, and there were no advanced prostheses. After the surgery, he was simply unable to do physical labor.
Therefore, the surgery must be successful.
Lu Ye said, "Let's not call Nancheng yet. Let the hospital leaders make the decision. If they agree, they will definitely communicate with the Nancheng Military Region Hospital."
"I know."
Lu Ye stood up, intending to leave. "It's getting late, I have to go back to the unit. I'll come pick you up this afternoon."
Bai Zhi nodded, "Okay, I'll go to Grandpa's this afternoon and give him a report on your situation here today. Grandpa is coming here to see patients tomorrow."
"good."
After Lu Ye left, Bai Zhi resumed her busy work schedule.
Near the end of the workday in the afternoon, she was called over by Director Wang to review Gu Jingyi's condition once again.
If sedatives aren't used, then acupuncture is necessary.
"Let's use sedatives to control him first. He's covered in injuries, so acupuncture won't be effective."
Bai Zhi said, "I'll come over to check on the situation tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhi left her phone number with Director Wang and his department, telling them to call her anytime if there were any issues.
She didn't feel comfortable asking Director Wang about whether the hospital would invite Lu Shan to perform the surgery, since Director Wang wasn't a leader.
Furthermore, if he asks too many questions, it will inevitably raise suspicions about her motives.
But what bad intentions does she have?
After get off work, she went to Derentang with Lu Ye. Derentang had been receiving so many patients these past few days, all of them poor people from the countryside. Ye Rufeng was essentially running a free clinic.
Ye Rufeng is busy until 6 p.m. every day before he can close up shop. After all, he is getting old and is very tired at the end of the day.
When Lu Ye called out to his maternal grandfather, Ye Rufeng simply responded with a faint sound.
After returning to his residence, Ye Rufeng lay down on the bed and told them not to disturb him.
Lu Ye and Bai Zhi quickly prepared dinner, and Bai Zhi specially steamed a bowl of glutinous rice for his grandfather.
Lu Ye personally cooked several dishes.
After Ye Rufeng ate the glutinous rice, he regained his energy and spirit.
Of course, after regaining his spirits, he didn't forget to complain to Bai Zhi, "You little brat, you've really screwed me over."
