Chapter 299 Is it possible that I won’t be able to see it again in the future?

After Huo Jianguo and Zeng Shengqiang left, Su Mei also got up and returned to the yard where she and Huo Jianguo lived.

As soon as she reached the door of her house, Su Mei smelled a familiar yet unpleasant smell - the smell of vomit.

She frowned and looked up, only to see Liu Yu, the pregnant woman who lived diagonally opposite and often suffered from severe morning sickness, lying at the door again, her face pale and gulping in pain.

Because Liu Yu was inside the door, Su Mei didn't see her at first.

Seeing Liu Yu's painful expression, Su Mei quickly walked forward, gently patted Liu Yu's shoulder, and asked with concern:

"Liu Yu, what's wrong with you? Why are you having morning sickness so badly again?"

Liu Yu raised his head and saw that it was Su Mei, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Since she became pregnant, she has suffered from severe morning sickness, and Su Mei has given her acupuncture to relieve the symptoms more than once.

She replied weakly, "Doctor Su, I don't know what's wrong. I've been having morning sickness more and more recently. I feel like my body is being drained out.

Others vomit for two or three months, but I have been vomiting for ten months since I was pregnant. Sigh!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mei immediately reached out and gently placed her hand on Liu Yu's pulse.

Her brows were slightly wrinkled. Liu Yu's pulse was very unstable and needed immediate attention.

So she quickly took out silver needles from her bag and gently inserted a few needles into Liu Yu's acupuncture points.

Liu Yu's complexion gradually calmed down and her breathing became much steadier, but her pulse was still very weak.

"How do you feel now?" Su Mei asked softly.

Liu Yu patted his chest, nodded gently, and said, "Much better, thank you, Doctor Su."

"Don't thank me yet! Your condition is more serious than the previous times. Acupuncture alone is useless. You must go to the hospital for a detailed examination and replenish your nutrition. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous."

After Su Mei finished speaking, she asked a neighbor to look after Liu Yu, then she ran outside the alley, called a tricycle for Liu Yu, and sent Liu Yu to the nearby Hexie Hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the obstetrician and gynecologist examined Su Mei and told her that Liu Yu had a very poor physical condition and was severely malnourished, and that the condition of her and the fetus was not optimistic.

Fortunately, Su Mei arrived in time, otherwise the fetus might have been lost.

When Liu Yu heard the doctor's words, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes. She held Su Mei's hand tightly and said, "Dr. Su, thank you so much for saving me and my child time and time again."

Su Mei smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need to thank me, this is my duty as a doctor, and I can't really help you much. Morning sickness is really unsolvable.

But you are about to give birth this month, so you should be getting through it soon.”

After settling Liu Yu, Su Mei was about to leave, but unexpectedly met a colleague she hadn't seen for a long time at the hospital gate—Sun Dai, a doctor from Capital Airport Hospital.

"Su Mei, you looked familiar from a distance, and when I got closer I realized it was really you. Why are you here?" Sun Dai asked naturally.

Su Mei smiled and replied, "I am sending a pregnant woman here. I didn't expect to meet you here by chance. What are you doing here? Are you going to change jobs?"

"What job are you changing?" Sun Dai shook her head and said to Su Mei.

"I am here to see a car accident patient at the Union Hospital. His heart is ruptured and a rib is stuck in his cardiac artery. If he doesn't have surgery, he will bleed to death. If he does have surgery, the artery may be touched and cause spurting bleeding. He may not be able to get off the operating table. The situation is very serious.

Because the case was so serious, no doctor dared to perform the operation, so the hospital held a city-wide consultation. I am here as a representative of the airport hospital.

Hearing this, Su Mei nodded.

Sun Dai looked at her and said:

"Su Mei, actually I wanted to contact you. Since the director was arrested and committed suicide, I have become the director of the department. But to be honest, my qualifications are not that high.

Compared to me, you are more capable and outstanding. You may be able to provide some suggestions during this consultation. I can't contact you, but since we have met, why don't we go and have a look together?"

Su Mei couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she heard what Sun Dai said.

Although she held a position at the airport hospital, she was basically out of touch with the hospital. She even did not report to the hospital after the Chinese New Year.

Now that she had met him, Su Mei felt that she should take the opportunity to maintain her career, so she nodded and followed Sun Dai to the clinic's office.

As soon as she entered the office, Su Mei saw Huo Jianguo with an anxious look on his face.

She was startled, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart...

"Jianguo, why are you here?" Su Mei walked up to Huo Jianguo and asked.

Huo Jianguo heard Su Mei's voice, raised his head and looked at Su Mei seriously. He didn't know why Su Mei was here, and he didn't ask.

He said, "Su Mei, I'm glad you're here. Zeng Shengqiang was in a car accident and is in critical condition. The hospital has issued a critical illness notice. I don't know if he can make it."

Su Mei felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she heard this.

How could someone who was fine in the morning suddenly become like this? "Was he hit because of my matter?"

"Yes!" Huo Jianguo nodded. "I'll tell you the details later. Think of a way to save him first, okay?"

She looked at Huo Jianguo, then at the doctors busy in the clinic, took a deep breath, and said:

"Okay... don't worry, I'm here and nothing will happen to him."

Su Mei took a deep breath and followed Sun Dai to sit down at the long table in the conference room.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn. The doctors sat around the table, and everyone's face was full of difficulties.

Su Mei walked to the table, scanned everyone's faces, and finally landed on the critical illness notice.

She gently picked up the notice, on which Zeng Shengqiang's name and condition were clearly written.

She raised her head, looked at the attending physician sitting opposite her, and took the initiative to ask:

"Hello, I'm Su Mei, the doctor who's here on behalf of the airport hospital.

I have a general understanding of Mr. Zeng's condition. A ruptured spleen and a rib stuck in an artery are indeed a tricky problem.

I would like to know what surgical options you have at the moment?"

Su Mei didn't want to waste time, so she directly chose to be the initiator of the entire consultation.

Because Su Mei's name had long been known in the medical community for her craniotomy surgeries, and because she was a student of Qin Zhengting, no one at the scene thought it was meaningful for Su Mei to take the lead in discussing this matter.

The surgeon sighed, shook his head and said:

“We don’t have a definite surgical plan yet.

If we perform surgery right away, it might cause spurting bleeding due to touching the artery, and Mr. Zeng might not even be able to get off the operating table.

But without surgery, he would have slowly bled dry and eventually died.”

Su Mei nodded to show that she understood, which was consistent with what she heard from Sun Mei on the road.

She pondered for a moment and then said, "This surgery is indeed very difficult to perform using traditional surgical methods, so I have a different surgical plan that I would like to share with you."

She paused and continued, "First, we need to conduct a comprehensive examination on Mr. Zeng to determine his various physical indicators, especially his coagulation function and blood type. This information is crucial for formulating a surgical plan."

The surgeon nodded in agreement.

Su Mei continued: "Secondly, I think we can try a new type of surgery - interventional surgery.

Embolic agents are injected into the arteries through catheters to block the bleeding arteries and stop the bleeding. This can avoid the risks of direct surgery and effectively control bleeding. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the consulting room fell silent. The doctors looked at each other, apparently no one had thought of the treatment method Su Mei was talking about.

However, the doctors on site were all elites. Although they had never seen interventional surgery, they understood what interventional surgery meant only when Su Mei mentioned it.

At this time, Zeng Shengqiang's attending physician took the initiative to speak up: "Doctor Su means that for patients without blood clots, we can artificially create blood clots so that blood can block the opening of the blood vessels and prevent heavy bleeding. Is that what you mean?"

"That's understandable." Su Mei thought about it and nodded to the doctor.

This plan was so innovative and bold that the doctors present fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, these doctors began a detailed discussion based on Su Mei's plan.

After the discussion, the attending physician summarized his opinion of the diagnosis and concluded by saying:

“Dr. Su’s idea is very creative, but interventional surgery is a new type of surgery after all, and our hospital has never performed similar surgeries.

Moreover, Mr. Zeng’s condition is very complicated and we need to carefully assess the risks and feasibility of surgery.”

Su Mei nodded to show her understanding.

She knew that her proposal needed everyone's recognition and support before it could be implemented.

Because this operation is very complicated, it is far beyond her ability to handle it alone.

So she began to explain in detail the principles, operating procedures, and possible risks and complications of interventional surgery.

As time went by, the doctors began to nod their heads frequently. They were not very confident about this new surgical method at first, but in the process of discussion, they were gradually convinced by Su Mei's erudition and insights.

Two senior doctors considered Su Mei's suggestion seriously and decided to step forward to assist Su Mei and discuss the specific details of the operation with her.

After intense discussion and evaluation, the doctors finally decided to adopt Su Mei's surgical plan.

They began to work together to prepare various instruments and medicines needed for the operation.

The discussion lasted for 40 minutes. Only when the surgical plan was confirmed did Su Mei breathe a sigh of relief. She stood up and called Huo Jianguo, saying:

"The surgery will be done soon. The nurse hasn't come to call him in a while, so he should be stable. Can you come with me to check on him?"

"Let's take another look?" Huo Jianguo's mood became even lower when he heard this. "Is it possible that I won't be able to see it again in the future?"
