Xu Zhiyi was talking to Qiangzi and the team leader about the methods of surgery, "Let me first tell you, what are the methods for surgery for your father's illness?
One is the more traditional open surgery. During the operation, we will open your father's chest or abdomen, remove the damaged aorta segment, and then replace it with an artificial blood vessel or autologous blood vessel.
The second is interventional treatment technology, but this treatment technology is not yet developed and is still in the early stages of development. This technology is to place stents in the blood vessels to support the damaged aortic wall and prevent further tearing of the dissection.
The last method is hemoballoon dilation, which can also be used to treat aortic dissection. We send a balloon into the site of aortic dissection through a catheter, and then expand the balloon to improve vascular dissection or blood flow.
Different methods involve different costs. Once your father wakes up, you can discuss this with him and consult Dr. Zhang carefully. Dr. Zhang will also explain the pros and cons of each of the three surgeries to you, and you can make the decision yourself.
Xu Zhiyi continued, "You will go and arrange for your father to be hospitalized first. Now follow our doctor out to the examination room. We need to conduct a detailed examination of your father's body to see if he is suitable for surgery. If he is suitable for surgery, the head nurse will come to you for a consultation today, and the surgery will be performed tomorrow. If he is not suitable for surgery, then we will proceed with conservative treatment first and wait until your father's health stabilizes before operating."
The captain asked in confusion, "So soon? Didn't he just get admitted? And he's going to have surgery tomorrow... and can't anyone do this surgery? Why did Qiangzi's father want to see it first? Didn't they say it was urgent?"
Xu Zhiyi explained again, "Her father's illness is very serious, but we also have to make sure the patient's body can tolerate it and whether he can survive the operation. A surgery requires many considerations; it's not like I can just give you a knife and do it." If you give me a knife, of course I can perform the surgery directly. But after I perform the surgery on you, my medical license will be lost. If it succeeds, that's fine. But what if it fails?
The captain nodded, and then asked Qiangzi to go out and find his father.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the captain who was still sitting in front of them. "Captain, do you have anything else to say? Or is there something you don't understand?"
"Doctor, how much should we pay now? You may not know much about Lao Zhang's family situation. They rely on him and his son to earn money to support the family. When Qiangzi was two years old, his mother couldn't stand the hardship and ran away with someone else. Fortunately, Qiangzi was sensible since he was a child. When he was five or six years old, he started working in the fields with Lao Zhang. Now he earns ten work points every day. Apart from those ten work points, his family really has no money. If they had money, Qiangzi would have married long ago.
Doctor, can we pool the money and pay it later? Or we can pay it to you in installments."
Xu Zhiyi sighed, "Go and register for hospitalization first. If you don't have enough money, we can find a way."
"Oh, thank you, doctor." After saying that, the captain stood up and left.
Xu Zhiyi sighed in his heart: A penny can make a hero fall!
Just when Xu Zhiyi and others were about to return to the department, Xu Zhiyi was suddenly called away by the dean, and Director Chen was also with him.
The others returned to the office, and as soon as they entered the office, they looked at Dr. Qian who was pretending to read a book in the office.
Xiao Zhao immediately said, "Doctor Qian, we have a patient with aortic dissection. This is a major operation. I've been coming to the hospital for so many years and have never seen this before. Today I've really broadened my horizons."
Doctor Qian snorted, "You haven't seen it because your medical skills are not good enough. You still need to continue your studies."
Xiao Zhao was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said to Dr. Qian, "Dr. Qian, have you seen it?"
Doctor Qian put down the book in his hand and started to complain to Xiao Zhao, "Of course I have seen it. Not only have I seen it, I even went to observe the operation."
Xiao Zhao exclaimed, "Wow!" and looked at Dr. Qian. "Dr. Qian, is that true? Was the operation difficult? How is the patient now? Did he survive?"
Doctor Qian slowly shook his head, his tone heavy, "He couldn't be saved. He died on the operating table."
Xiao Zhao sighed, "That's such a pity."
Dr. Qian muttered to himself: Yes, what a pity.
In the dean's office, as soon as Xu Zhiyi entered, the dean asked, "Director Xu, how confident are you in this aortic dissection surgery? Is it serious?"
The political commissar was also worried: "Director Xu, you may not know that our hospital has performed aortic dissection surgery before, but the patient did not survive the operation and died."
The dean asked again, "Director Xu, are you confident? Who do you plan to have on the operating table with you?"
Xu Zhiyi answered step by step, "Don't worry, Dean. I will do my best to complete this operation. As for who will assist, I suggest that all the cardiothoracic surgeons come into the operating room to observe and learn. This operation is, after all, quite difficult, and it will also allow them to gain experience."
"As for the assistant, I have a general idea, but I've only been at the hospital for a short time, so I don't know if anyone has this experience. I wonder if the dean and the political commissar have suitable candidates?" After saying this, Xu Zhiyi looked at the two of them politely.
The dean and the political commissar looked at each other and said, "Zhiyi, you misunderstood. The political commissar and I have no intention of assigning anyone to you."
