Chapter 171 The longer it takes, the lower the success rate.
Li Mingde's younger brother rang the doorbell, and someone quickly came out to greet him.
The other person clearly recognized Li Mingde and greeted him politely as soon as he arrived.
"I brought Dr. Du here to treat Mr. Jiang."
Li Mingde solemnly introduced Du Ruoxia.
The aunt who came to open the door immediately showed a surprised smile.
"Ah, is that the Dr. Du you mentioned, who is young but has amazing medical skills?"
Yes, it's her.
Du Ruoxia was warmly invited in, and without even being informed, she was taken directly to Mr. Jiang's study on the second floor.
Li Mingde knocked on the door for him, then took a few steps back.
"Mr. Jiang has a heart condition and doesn't like to be disturbed. Since you have important matters to discuss, I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
Li Mingde, fearing that Du Ruoxia would worry, patiently explained it again.
"Please come in."
The voice coming from inside the house was rather steady; the person must be quite old.
Du Ruoxia pushed open the door and went in, and sure enough, she saw a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
He was wearing an elegant Zhongshan suit, and a pair of very refined gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.
She is clearly a very gentle person, but her eyes are sharp when she looks up.
"Hello, I am Jiang Ruifeng, and people usually call me Mr. Jiang."
"Hello Mr. Jiang, I am Du Ruoxia. My main task here today is to treat your illness."
Du Ruoxia said this very generously and walked to the chair in front of Jiang Ruifeng and sat down.
"Mr. Jiang, please extend your left hand."
Du Ruoxia's voice wasn't loud, but it gave people an unquestionable feeling.
Jiang Ruifeng has been in the business world for many years; what kind of people hasn't he seen?
This was the first time he had ever seen a girl who remained composed even when he was exuding an imposing aura.
Hearing her words, he instinctively extended his left hand.
Cool fingertips touched her pulse, and Du Ruoxia fell into deep thought.
Jiang Ruifeng looked at the young girl who was carefully taking his pulse with her brows slightly furrowed, and suddenly felt extremely calm.
After taking his pulse, Du Ruoxia had Mr. Jiang lie down and then conducted a thorough full-body examination.
Du Ruoxia already had a good idea of his condition, but she was a meticulous person and needed to see the report after the instrument examination.
"Mr. Jiang, could you show me your previous hospital examination report?"
Mr. Jiang took a document out of the drawer and handed it over.
Du Ruoxia nodded after reading it carefully.
"Mr. Jiang suffers from severe congenital absence of the septum of the heart, which is a very complex heart surgery."
"This type of surgery is very risky, with a failure rate as high as 80%, and most hospitals don't dare to perform it."
After undergoing various examinations, Du Ruoxia calmly recounted Jiang Ruifeng's specific situation.
As soon as Du Ruoxia finished speaking, Jiang Ruifeng dropped all his nonchalance.
Although I have seen his examination report, I have not seen his medical records.
Her ability to diagnose his condition in such a short time demonstrates her exceptional medical skills.
"Can Dr. Du perform this surgery for me?"
Jiang Ruifeng felt a little nervous when he asked that question.
He had been a prominent figure in the business world for many years, but he had never been as nervous as he was today.
Du Ruoxia, even though you didn't say it, Jiang Ruifeng's heart was pounding uncontrollably.
"I've heard that Mr. Jiang has seen many doctors, so he should know how difficult this surgery is."
“I can perform the surgery, but I only have a 50% success rate. If Mr. Jiang trusts me, I am willing to take the plunge and give it a try.”
Every surgery carries risks. Du Ruoxia was able to reduce the failure rate from 80% to 50%, which speaks volumes about his skill level.
However, the 50% failure rate still makes people hesitate.
After all, this is heart surgery, not any other part of the body.
If the surgery fails, he will lose his life.
Jiang Ruifeng pondered for a while before asking the question.
"Is there only a 50% success rate? What if we opt for conservative treatment? How much longer can we extend their lives?"
"Yes, I believe you are already aware of Mr. Jiang's situation, so I won't go into details."
"This surgery has a success rate of only 50% at most, and only I dare to give that success rate."
Du Ruoxia's words were somewhat arrogant, but Jiang Ruifeng did not dare to interrupt her.
Du Ruoxia is right. Other doctors only have a 20% success rate, and the highest one has a 30% success rate.
Only Du Ruoxia dared to say 50%, which was far more arrogant than most doctors.
"If you opt for conservative treatment, others might only be able to extend your life by three years, but I am confident that I can extend it by five years."
Du Ruoxia knew that she looked very young now, and that her words were not very convincing.
Therefore, before giving any data, she would accurately state the data given by other doctors.
After this comparison, Jiang Ruifeng knew that she wasn't talking nonsense.
"If I don't have the surgery now, but wait five years to have it done, will it be possible to reverse the damage by then?"
Jiang Ruifeng knew it was impossible, but he still couldn't help asking.
Du Ruoxia shook her head and said to him with great certainty.
"If conservative treatment is adopted, the longer it is delayed, the lower the success rate of the surgery will be."
Every word Du Ruoxia said had been told to him by the other doctors.
The only difference is that the success rate of the surgery is higher when she performs it, and even if he chooses conservative treatment, his lifespan can be extended by two more years.
The person Li Mingde introduced was young, but he was quite capable.
Many of the points Du Ruoxia made were quite similar to what other doctors had said.
She was able to accurately assess his situation, which suggests she is indeed quite capable.
Jiang Ruifeng himself knows the most about his condition, and he hasn't even told his close relatives. Unless Du Ruoxia can bribe his previous doctor, there is absolutely no way she could know the specifics of his condition.
According to Li Mingde, Du Ruoxia didn't even know who he was before she came, and therefore these diagnoses were made during their meeting.
Jiang Ruifeng hesitated, rubbing his temples in frustration, unsure of what to do.
"Since Mr. Jiang hasn't made a decision yet, and I have things to attend to at home, I'll head back now."
Du Ruoxia was initially unwilling to treat him because of her family situation, but she reluctantly came after Li Mingde's repeated requests.
After meeting him, it was discovered that Jiang Ruifeng's condition was indeed very bad.
Moreover, he himself doesn't seem to realize it and keeps thinking about procrastination.
Under such circumstances, it's understandable that Du Ruoxia wouldn't want to waste any more time with him.
Du Ruoxia got up to say goodbye, but Jiang Ruifeng immediately called her back.
"Dr. Du, please accept this."
Jiang Ruifeng took out a large red envelope from the drawer and personally handed it to Du Ruoxia.
"Dr. Du, this is a big decision for me. I need to think it over carefully and decide whether to have surgery or conservative treatment."
"It's really too much trouble for you to come today. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive."
Jiang Ruifeng's attitude was very respectful, which showed that he thought highly of Du Ruoxia.
Perhaps, as he said, such a big matter requires careful consideration.
Du Ruoxia was short of money, so she accepted the red envelope without hesitation.
"This matter should be handled sooner rather than later. We urge Mr. Jiang to make a decision as soon as possible. If we continue to delay, the success rate will continue to decrease, and at that point, we may really only have the option of conservative treatment."
