Chapter 85: Distrust of Renting
"Doctor Chen, this patient isn't suffering from any other illness; it's a more complex surgical procedure. Even if you possess supernatural powers, our hospital has never performed such a major operation. There's a high probability of a dangerous situation, which would have a very negative impact on your reputation."
"So, please forgive me for not being able to agree." Gao Shangming thought about it and decided not to agree, so he walked towards the door.
"Hey!" Zhou Xuewen subconsciously reached out to stop him.
She had just explained Chen Yin's excellent case, so why didn't she agree? Wouldn't it be good to save one more person?
At this moment, someone rushed out of the door, still shouting:
"Blood bags! Blood bank, need more blood."
Gao Shangming, who was familiar with the hospital procedures, knew that the patient must have lost too much blood, his blood pressure dropped rapidly, and the blood prepared in the operating room was not enough.
Although there is a phone call to notify the blood bank, it is always faster to go there in person.
For a moment, should he let Chen Yin join the operation to increase the possibility of survival, or watch helplessly as there are other better options and let the patient lie on the operating table and let his life slowly slip away?
The two thoughts were tightly entangled in Gao Shangming's mind, and he couldn't take a step forward.
Chen Yin couldn't bear to watch the patient who could have been saved disappear before her eyes, so she grabbed Gao Shangming's shoulders and stopped him.
"No matter what the final outcome is, or what the impact on my reputation may be, I will bear all the responsibility. Doctor Gao, the injured person is in critical condition. Every second saved means a better chance of survival."
When Gao Shangming heard Chen Yin say this, he reluctantly took her into the operating room.
As for the others who followed, they were left at the door and were not allowed to enter.
Zhou Xuewen looked at the closed door, feeling both excited and nervous. She was excited that Chen Yin was going to show off her amazing acupuncture skills again, but she was nervous because she didn't know if she could save the injured person's life.
For Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong, they were mostly excited, but also a little annoyed.
Why can’t the two of them watch Chen Yin undergo the surgery with their own eyes?
The person who was most nervous and worried at the scene was probably Liu Xianhua. As a doctor who had been working in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine for four years, he knew best the gap and contradiction between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
The recent appearance of Dr. Chen has made their department popular in the hospital for a while.
However, these gains are limited to diseases that can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine. However, when it comes to surgery, especially open abdominal surgery, traditional Chinese medicine has no soil for learning and growth.
Liu Xianhua didn't know whether Chen Yin could save the patient this time, but he knew that if Dr. Chen suffered unforeseen consequences due to this operation, his teacher would not let him go.
So, while the others were stretching their heads to look inside through the crack in the door, he hurriedly said he was leaving and ran quickly towards the office of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In the operating room, everyone looked at Gao Shangming bringing Chen Yin in with a look of confusion.
Especially Qi Chunhe, the surgeon in charge of this operation, looked at Chen Yin's face and scolded her coldly, "Nonsense!"
Then, his gaze quickly turned to Gao Shangming, "You are also fooling around!"
"Director Qi, Doctor Chen is a very skilled doctor. Maybe he can really help us with the operation." Gao Shangming raised his pale face and tried to defend himself.
"Do Chinese medicine practitioners perform surgery? What can they do in the face of such surgery?"
Qi Chunhe exhaled twice from his nose again, and looked at Chen Yin with a look full of disapproval.
Of course he had heard of Chen Yin's reputation, but as a Western doctor, he only thought that it was psychological therapy and psychological comfort from the family members.
Traditional Chinese medicine, a discipline that does not have much scientific basis, is not suitable for involvement in their operations.
"The victim's life is in imminent danger, so I don't want to explain too much. Traditional Chinese medicine does have records of surgical diagnosis and treatment, but we don't have many opportunities to perform them. We can't compare to your Western medicine in this type of internal resection and suturing."
Chen Yin did not hide their flaws and shortcomings, but pointed them out directly.
When Qi Chunhe heard this, his already raised brows almost popped out of his hairline.
But Chen Yin's next words made his face gloomy again.
"We are all working hard to give the patient a better chance of survival, so I hope you can give me a chance to assist in the surgery. My acupuncture time is very short, which can reduce the blood flow rate in certain areas. This will prevent the surgery from being too long and consuming too much blood, and increase the patient's chance of survival."
"Stubborn!"
Qi Chunhe gave his evaluation again, ignoring Chen Yin and continuing to make arrangements for the operation.
Gao Shangming looked at Chen Yin deeply, not knowing whether he should feel regret or relief.
As doctors, they can only follow the surgeon's instructions in the operating room.
There was a sudden car accident and the patient was quickly examined and sent to the operating room immediately. In addition, the medical level of the county hospital was limited, so Qi Chunhe could only cross the river by feeling the stones with his men.
Their main goal now is to remove the damaged parts and restore the victim's lungs to their normal state.
As Qi Chunhe's cold voice sounded, a lamp was lit on the operating table, and he took the scalpel from the nurse's hand and operated on the patient.
In this regard, Chen Yin could only stand aside and watch, frowning and staring at the surgeon's hands.
When the victim's chest and abdomen were cut open and the muscles on both sides were stretched, a large amount of blood immediately gushed out.
When they saw the amount of blood clearly, everyone present felt a sinking feeling, because the amount of blood in front of them was much more than they had expected.
If a large amount of blood is consumed and the operation cannot be completed in a short time, it is estimated that most of the blood reserves in their hospital's blood bank will have to be used on this person.
If any accident occurs, the operation of the hospital will be affected.
Qi Chunhe didn't care about that and immediately urged, "Hurry up and drain the blood and expose the surgical field."
“Hey!”
Looking at so much blood, the person holding the suction tube only felt a red color in front of his eyes, his vision was blurred, and he answered the director's words almost subconsciously.
But the bleeding point is so difficult to find in a vast pool of blood.
Even though Gao Shangming joined in, blood had already spread throughout his chest cavity.
The operation cannot be performed if the operating area cannot be seen clearly. Qi Chunhe looked at the scene in front of him and sweat broke out in his body with anxiety.
The nurse beside him hurriedly wiped the sweat off his face, but her eyes wandered vaguely to Chen Yin.
The rapid beeping of the machine nearby exacerbated the tense atmosphere in the operating room.
Qi Chunhe frowned as he watched his two most satisfied disciples suck blood, but still got nothing.
As a last resort, he had to do it himself.
"let me!"
Immediately, Qi Chunhe grabbed the suction device and aimed it at the victim's chest area, increasing the force to suck blood.
Of course, he was not just sucking. He fiddled with the suction device with one hand and moved the other hand directly inside the victim's abdominal cavity, trying to use his fingers to find the area with the most severe bleeding.
His method soon took effect, and the damaged lungs and other organs hidden in the "ocean" were exposed to everyone's view.
When everyone saw the situation inside the chest cavity clearly, they frowned and shook their heads.
"No, his lungs are too badly damaged."
"The rib was stuck directly on the left lung. Although it was only at the edge, most of the bronchioles were damaged. Our hospital is simply unable to perform such a high-level surgery."
"I think we should directly seek the opinions of the family members and see if they still want to continue saving the patient."
As a doctor's professional judgment, most people believe that there is no need to continue to save the injured person.
First, their hospital is not up to standard, and an operation is likely to be in vain, adding burden to the family.
Second, it is too late to send the injured to a higher-level hospital now, and the injured will most likely be pronounced dead on the way there.
This bloody fact was spinning in everyone's mind, and they couldn't help but look at Qi Chunhe, wanting to see what the director had to say.
Qi Chunhe did not stop what he was doing and spoke amid everyone's expectations.
"Shang Ming, go talk to the family and ask if you'd like to continue saving the patient. If you do, please sign a letter of responsibility."
"Yes, Director Qi."
Gao Shangming put down what he was holding and hurried out.
When he left, he originally wanted to take Chen Yin with him, but how could Chen Yin leave at this time?
She moved closer to the operating table and saw the current condition of the injured person clearly.
The ruptured lungs trembled inside the body, and a steady stream of blood was injected into the body, but most of it was lost while flowing through the pulmonary artery.
The injured person now is like a reservoir with the valve opened, but blood is not water after all, it is an extremely limited product.
The most critical position can be clamped with a clamp, but the bleeding from other small capillaries cannot be suppressed at all.
"Since you've reached the end of your rope, why not try my method?"
Chen Yin's voice again instantly attracted Qi Chunhe's attention.
His sharp and cold gaze was like a scalpel with cold light splashing across Chen Yin's face, and stayed on Chen Yin's eyes the longest.
It seemed as if he wanted to use the scalpel in his eyes to cut open Chen Yin's eyes and see if there was also the confidence on her face inside?
Time passed by minute by minute as the two looked at each other.
Soon, Gao Shangming obtained the family's consent and returned to the operating room with the family's final request.
"Director Qi, the family has already signed. I hope we can make one final effort."
At this point, the condition of the injured could not get any worse, and they could only prepare for the worst.
"You try it."
Qi Chunhe's sudden surrender surprised everyone in the operating room.
Chen Yin had anticipated this and immediately took out the needle bag she had brought with her. When she unfolded it, rows of silver needles appeared in front of everyone.
No one could connect the silver needle in front of them, which was not much different from an embroidery needle, with the injured person whose stomach had been ripped open.
But since the surgeon had spoken, they had no reason to stop him.
Chen Yin first used items in the operating room to disinfect, and then immediately inserted the needle into the area she was interested in.
Each time the needle is inserted, it is twisted using the sparrow pecking technique, and the needle is inserted for 30 seconds and then left in place.
Due to the particularity of the operation, the muscles in the chest and abdomen of the injured person will be pulled to a certain extent, which will affect the effect of needle retention. Chen Yin focuses on inserting needles in other parts to increase the impact on blood flow.
After a while, a wounded man with silver needles piercing his head, neck and lower limbs appeared in front of everyone.
Some people looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this a hedgehog?"
The others were already dumbfounded by Chen Yinliang's move.
When Qi Chunhe asked Chen Yin to take action, he was thinking that it would be a last resort, as the situation wouldn't get any worse than it was now.
But he didn't expect that Chen Yin, a Chinese medicine practitioner, could actually have an effect on stopping bleeding with her silver needles.
Looking at the obviously slower rising speed of the pool of blood in the chest cavity, Qi Chunhe was shocked.
At this point, he could no longer care about so many things and quickly shouted:
"Continue the operation!"
Chen Yin, who had completed her task, left the operating table and gave her seat to other doctors.
Then she found the anesthesiologist who was watching the machine, told him that she was leaving, and left quietly.
When Chen Yin took off her surgical gown and walked out the door, she bumped into Liao Dehua who was rushing over.
She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Director Liao, why are you here?"
"Doctor Chen, I should be the one asking you this!"
This was the first time Liao Dehua showed such an angry expression in front of Chen Yin. He was really furious and didn't understand why Chen Yin got involved in such trouble?
Chen Yin glanced at Liu Xianhua, who was standing restlessly next to Liao Dehua, and immediately understood his intention.
"Are you here because you're worried about me?"
"I came here to see what kind of trouble you, a young man, are going to get into." Liao Dehua was stubborn and continued to speak with his neck stiff.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong in the operating room. Director Qi is operating on the injured patient."
"I don't care about that old guy. I just want to see how you wade into this muddy water. Do you know how people will look at you if the injured person can't get off the operating table?"
"I don't know. I just know that if I don't try, a life will be lost before my eyes."
After these words were spoken, Liao Dehua opened and closed his mouth but could not utter a word.
The hearts of others were also shocked, especially Zhou Xuewen and Liu Xianhua. Chen Yin's image in their minds became more and more lofty.
Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong looked at Chen Yin with an expression of pride, and glanced proudly at the shocked faces of the others, thinking: This is the Chen Yin they know - Doctor Chen!
Chen Yin has already missed a lot of outpatient time for this operation.
Seeing that Liao Dehua was not in any serious trouble, she said a few words and hurried away with her men.
It was a busy day and I even had lunch in the clinic.
Before leaving the hospital, Liu Xianhua went to inquire about the news and relayed it to Chen Yin.
"Doctor Chen, the people in the operating room said that the patient just got off the operating table. It's still unknown whether he can wake up. He has been transferred to the ICU for continued monitoring."
"I see. You've been busy all day. Xiao Liu, go home and rest first."
Liu Xianhua glanced at Chen Yin and saw that she was the same as always. He immediately relaxed after a day of tension, nodded, and walked towards his home.
Now the only ones standing together were Chen Yin, three others, and Zhou Xuewen.
Chen Yin looked at Zhou Xue and asked with some embarrassment. As a doctor who came to the clinic for further training, their clinic should be responsible for accommodation.
But now that the clinic is being rebuilt, she lives in the dormitory arranged by the county hospital, and she is really powerless to do anything about Zhou Xuewen's arrangements.
"Doctor Zhou, why don't you stay in the county hotel for one night? I'll ask someone to find you a room tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuewen waved his hands in panic.
"No, no. Doctor Chen, your schedule is so tight. It's just renting a house. How can it take up your time? I will find one myself tomorrow."
Renting a house wasn't a problem for Zhou Xuewen right now. She was more worried about other things. She spoke nervously,
"That's right, that's right..."
"If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
"Doctor Chen, you are practicing in the county hospital now. Can I follow you for further studies?"
"That's what you're worried about. It's nothing more than adding an extra chair. Our clinic isn't very relevant to what you want to learn, so I hope you understand."
Chen Yin has been running the outpatient clinic in the county hospital for many days, but has not seen many patients with bleeding injuries. Zhou Xuewen wants to learn how to stop bleeding with silver needles, but it is estimated that it will only be theoretical talk in the short term.
“It’s great to be able to study with Dr. Chen!”
Zhou Xuewen nodded excitedly, forgetting about the tasks assigned to her by the hospital and Director Liang.
Chen Yin remembered that there were many hotels near the hospital for patients' families to rent. After finding a hotel with better conditions for Zhou Xuewen, she turned around and went back to the family hospital to rest.
In the hotel, Zhou Xuewen lay on the bed excitedly. Thinking of her experiences of the day, her heart beat violently uncontrollably.
After glancing at the time, he estimated that Director Liang had not rested yet, so he immediately left the room and found a place to make a phone call.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
"Hello, I'm Liang Huaiyou."
"Director Liang, I'm in Dongyu Yunchuan."
Zhou Xuewen's excited voice came from the phone, causing Liang Huaiyou's calm heart to suddenly waver. He asked anxiously:
"Have you seen Doctor Chen?"
"Yes. Today is my first day here, and I was even lucky enough to see Doctor Chen perform his magic of stopping bleeding with silver needles again."
“Okay, okay!”
Liang Huaiyou excitedly shouted "good" three times and became more and more satisfied with his disciple Zhou Xuewen.
"You are so lucky to be with Dr. Chen. You must study hard and not be afraid of hardship. Your teacher is waiting for the day when you return after completing your studies."
Listening to Director Liang's words, Zhou Xuewen was so moved that she almost cried. She immediately said on the phone:
"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely study hard with Doctor Chen."
Then, the two of them exchanged some more words on the phone about what happened today, as well as Liang Huaiyou's patient advice, before they hung up.
The next day, while doing morning exercises, Chen Yin remembered Miss Liu's appeal in the staff quarters and took the initiative to ask her about renting a house.
Liu Chunmei's first reaction when she heard that Chen Yin was not satisfied with her current accommodation was that she asked anxiously:
"Is there something wrong with living in the family housing complex? Tell me directly and I'll have your logistics staff help you make the right changes immediately."
"It's not me. It's a female doctor who studies with me who's here looking for a place to stay."
Liu Chunmei felt relieved instantly when she heard Chen Yin's answer.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was not that Dr. Chen felt uncomfortable in the family quarters, nor was it that their hospitality was poor.
Then she immediately searched her mind for information about people she knew who wanted to rent a house.
Soon, Liu Chunmei really found a suitable candidate.
"Doctor Chen, does your friend mind living with the old man?"
"What kind of house is it?" Chen Yin knew that Liu Chunmei would not mention this special house for no reason, so she asked curiously.
"It's also in our family compound, across from Building 6, on the third floor of Building 3. Dr. Yu's son and daughter aren't around, and she only has her granddaughter living with her. We can spare a room for you."
The situation sounds a bit complicated. In their small county, shared housing is rare.
Chen Yin couldn't help but lose interest. After thanking Liu Chunmei for the news, she didn't continue to learn more about the situation.
Liu Chunmei could see that Chen Yin was not interested, and she was holding her breath. She really had to find a suitable house for Dr. Chen's friend, otherwise she would feel bad.
After the morning exercise, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Chen Yin and the other two also returned home and prepared to start today's outpatient clinic.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the outpatient building, she was immediately caught by Gao Shangming who came to look for someone.
"Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen!"
"Doctor Gao, is there anything wrong?" Chen Yin looked at the other person curiously, somewhat confused.
Is there something wrong with the child? If it is the child, it would be more convenient to communicate while she is in the family compound.
Gao Shangming's face was filled with an excited smile as he trotted over.
"Doctor Chen, our Director Qi wants to talk to you."
"Is it about yesterday's patient?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yin raised her foot and walked forward, wanting to walk towards the ICU.
Seeing this, Gao Shangming immediately followed Chen Yin's steps and replied:
"Yes. According to yesterday's surgery, the patient should have gradually regained consciousness, but there are still no signs. Director Qi recalled the superb skills you demonstrated in the operating room yesterday and thought you might have a good solution."
"Director Qi, you're too kind. Let's see the patient first."
After a while, the group arrived outside the ICU ward.
Qi Chunhe was waiting in front of the door early. When he saw Chen Yin appear, he took the initiative to greet her.
Then, he bowed deeply, which stunned everyone present and made them forget how to react for a moment.
It was Chen Yin who reacted first. She hurriedly lifted the other person's shoulders and asked, "Director Qi, what are you doing?"
"People who do something wrong should, of course, apologize."
Qi Chunhe had no thoughts of covering up or escaping. Now when he thought about what he said to Chen Yin in the operating room yesterday, his face still flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Chen. I lost my temper with you yesterday without knowing much about your medical skills. It was wrong of me."
"Director Qi, you don't have to be like this. I'm a newcomer, and it's normal that you don't understand me. Conflicts are inevitable. Didn't we work together to save the patient later? There's really no need for you to keep it in mind."
Chen Yin had long forgotten what happened in the operating room yesterday. If Qi Chunhe hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered it.
In an era when traditional Chinese medicine is declining, these are just minor misunderstandings.
Her mission is to let everyone know that Chinese medicine has great capabilities and can make a difference in both internal medicine and surgery.
