After being stumped twice by what she said, Dr. Xu had to admit that part of what she said was true: "I have never been to the Department of Cardiology of the National Association, and I have never met your doctors. So as to the scope of your skills, I can only listen to what others say."
Her inference was confirmed by others themselves.
Dr. Xu wanted to talk about what he did for the patient: "For example, Dr. Fu Xinheng from your surgery department is quite familiar with our colleagues in surgery. He should be familiar with the situation of your cardiovascular department. I asked him to send someone to check on the patient's current condition so that we can make plans. The main reason is that the patient's family is very worried. We ask more questions to help you avoid risks. Dr. Shen from Guozhi is on a business trip and is now with me. I just discussed this case with him and asked for his opinion."
While the two doctors were talking, the old lady and Mr. Zhou stood nearby and listened secretly.
When the old lady heard the doctors mention Guozhi Hospital, she leaned close to Mr. Zhou's ear and whispered about what happened today: "My son's condition was also treated by a doctor from Guozhi. In the end, it was Dr. Xie, not a doctor from Guozhi, who performed surgery on my son and solved his problem."
Mr. Zhou was surprised: The doctor at Guozhi Hospital was so famous, why did he give way to Dr. Xie? Dr. Xie was obviously much better than the doctors at Guozhi Hospital, he was really an expert.
"Everything I said is true," the old lady insisted. As a family member of the same patient, she provided Mr. Zhou with as much information as she could, hoping that he could find the best doctor to save her friend's life.
Mr. Zhou was a little hesitant. He knew Dr. Xu, but he didn't know Dr. Xie well since they were meeting for the first time today. He was afraid that he would make a mistake if he only listened to the grandmother's words.
It seems that the opinions of Dr. Xie and Dr. Xu are inconsistent, so he is not sure who to listen to. So, it is not the case that the more doctors you find, the better. In this case, the family members of the patient are not medical students, and their minds will be confused when they make a choice.

Outsiders don't understand and think that medicine is like buying things or services. They believe that the more advanced the technology, the better; the more advanced the medicine, the better; the higher-end the service, the more famous the doctor, the better; and if they want to have any surgery, they choose the one that sounds the most prestigious.
This principle is wrong.
Many medical technologies are indistinguishable, and it is hard to say which one is more advanced. Clinical medication requires precision. The more advanced the drug, the better. It must be targeted to the cause. There are many tertiary hospitals and many famous doctors. If you find several famous doctors, each of them is stubborn, and you will not know who to listen to. There is no such thing as high-end or low-end surgery. In short, only the best one is suitable for the patient. As for which treatment plan is most suitable for the patient, if the patient's condition is very complicated, doctors will have more academic opinions. And there will be no judge or God to judge who is right or wrong. Only the patient and his family can choose for themselves.
The confusion on Mr. Zhou's face meant he had no choice but to wait and see what happened.
Dr. Xu shared Dr. Guozhi's opinion: "Dr. Shen is a famous cardiovascular physician in Guozhi. I studied with him when I went to Guozhi for further studies last time. He also believed that if radial artery puncture was performed in this case, the risk would be too high and it would easily fail. The guidewire might get stuck in the radial artery. At that time, it would be a terrible medical accident to ask the surgeon to open the blood vessel and remove the guidewire."
