Chapter 13 No Choice
Under Xiao Hua's guidance, Yu Zhiming and Yu Xiangwan came to an office on the sixth floor of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Building and met Xiao Hua's parents.
There is also Xiao Hua’s sister’s attending physician Xi Zhen.
She is the deputy director of the obstetrics department and chief physician of Jinling Drum Tower Hospital. She is in her early fifties and has a stern face.
As Yu Zhiming expected, his youth and handsome appearance aroused strong suspicion from the patient's parents and Dr. Xi Zhen.
In the medical profession, the degree of trust others place on a doctor is directly proportional to their qualifications and age.
This is in line with the cognitive habits of the vast majority of Chinese people and basically conforms to the objective laws of the medical profession.
After all, a doctor's growth is inseparable from the accumulation of clinical practice and experience.
It takes years of experience to become an outstanding doctor.
Especially for the legendary masters of medicine who can do what others cannot, in many people's impressions, even if he is not an immortal with white hair and a youthful face, he must be an old man at least.
Even a sloppy and shriveled old man is more convincing than a cucumber like Yu Zhiming.
Facing the questioning looks from several people, Yu Zhiming said without further ado, "If I say I'm sure, you won't believe it in your hearts."
"But I did treat a fetus with a torsion of the umbilical cord."
"If you have other better options, or choose to have surgery directly, I can turn around and leave."
"If there's no other choice, let me give it a try."
Yu Zhiming, who believed that he was the only one in the family, smiled calmly.
"There's no guarantee of losing a bet. What if it works?"
Now that he had said this, Xi Zhen and Xiao Hua's parents were at a loss for words.
They exchanged glances with each other.
Xi Zhen sighed softly and said, "Miss Xiao's condition cannot be delayed any longer. The longer it is delayed, the greater the harm and danger to the child will be."
"At this point, we have no other choice. I personally suggest letting Dr. Yu give it a try."
"I will be well prepared for surgery. If there is any problem, I will do the surgery immediately. The result can't be too bad."
Xi Zhen looked at Xiao Hua's parents and continued, "The final decision will be made by you."
After a period of silence, Xiao Hua's father, a man who looked to have experienced a lot and was quite steady, spoke.
He bowed to Yu Zhiming and said, "Doctor Yu, I'm leaving my unborn grandson in your care."
Yu Zhiming bowed and replied, "I'll do my best!"
Xi Zhen looked at Yu Zhiming with a complicated expression and said, "Doctor Yu, the surgery preparation will take about half an hour."
"What preparations and assistance do you need?"
Yu Zhiming raised his hands and said, "I've already checked the condition of the pregnant woman and the fetus on the way here. My method of treatment depends on my hands."
"Just give me a pair of surgical gloves..."
Next, everyone went their separate ways.
Yu Zhiming and his sister were taken to an empty medical lounge in the operating area on the third floor for a short rest.
Yu Xiangwan, who had just sat down, moved her butt closer to her brother and bumped his shoulder with her body.
"That Su Tong, is she your college girlfriend?"
"no!"
Yu Zhiming shook his head like a rattle and further explained, "She was one of my closest classmates in college. When we were preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, we often studied together."
Yu Xiangwan curled her lips and said, "Old Five, don't deny it in front of me."
"When you met, her eyes lit up."
"I've never seen your eyes sparkle like that when you look at other girls. Su Tong obviously means something different to you."
"Old Five, confess quickly!"
Yu Zhiming smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, she's really not my college girlfriend."
"But I do have a crush on her."
"I originally thought I would confess my feelings after I passed graduate school."
"only……"
Yu Zhiming exhaled, "There will be no future."
"This is the first time she and I have met and contacted each other since we graduated from college."
Yu Xiangwan let out a long sigh, reached out and patted his brother's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "The fact that we can meet again tonight proves that the fate between you is not broken yet."
"If you still have feelings for her, then keep pursuing her."
"You're going to work at a big hospital in Binhai, and you're no less qualified than her, a doctor of medicine."
Yu Zhiming hesitated for a moment and said, "After four years of separation, everyone has changed a lot."
"I'm not sure if my feelings towards her are still the same as they were back then."
"Let's get in touch first and see what happens later..."
Ten minutes later, Xi Zhen came over personally to call Yu Zhiming to make preparations for treatment.
Because he was going into the operating room, Yu Zhiming, who had traveled a long way, needed to go to the locker room first and change into a set of sterile clothes provided by the hospital.
Before entering the locker room, Xi Zhen called out to Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, there's been no effective treatment for umbilical cord torsion in the medical community. Many colleagues would like to observe and learn from your treatment process on site."
“I don’t know…”
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "They can watch as they please."
He muttered to himself, anyway, this was related to his physical abnormality, so he was not afraid of others stealing his knowledge...
Yu Zhiming changed his clothes in the locker room, washed his hands and disinfected them in the disinfection room, then pushed the door open and entered the operating room...
He somewhat underestimated other people's curiosity about him.
The operating room, which was not very spacious, was crowded with twenty or thirty spectators.
They lined up in three rows, front and back.
The first row of people sat cross-legged on the ground, the second row of people sat on small stools, and the third row of people stood.
Yu Zhiming recognized Su Tong at a glance. He was wearing sterile clothing and a surgical mask.
Su Tong was sitting cross-legged in the front row, his almond eyes behind his glasses were so wide that his eyeballs were about to pop out.
Through the shape of the mask, you can clearly see that her mouth is opened into a big O shape.
Yu Zhiming was very satisfied with Su Tong's surprised expression. He winked at her and came to the operating table.
The pregnant woman was already lying on the operating table, and all preparations before the operation had been made, even the anesthesia had been given.
And it's general anesthesia!
As long as there was a problem with Yu Zhiming's operation, Dr. Xi Zhen, who was waiting at the side, would immediately cut open the pregnant woman's abdomen and take out the baby.
Yu Zhiming also noticed that there were five monitoring lines connected to the pregnant woman's bulging belly alone.
The level of medical equipment in this big hospital is more than one block ahead of the county hospital.
Yu Zhiming sighed inwardly, calmed down, and gently placed his hands on the pregnant woman's belly...
After careful perception, Yu Zhiming discovered.
The umbilical cord torsion of this fetus was less severe than that of the fetus in the county hospital, with only nine twists.
However, this fetus is only 24 weeks old and is more delicate and well-developed. If it is born at this time, its survival rate will be lower.
Yu Zhiming first asked the nurse to place the pregnant woman, who was in anesthesia and unconscious, in a lying position on her right side.
Then, he pressed his hands on the pregnant woman's belly on one side and then gently pushed on the other side.
He repeated this operation, concentrating all his attention, and gently massaged the pregnant woman's belly...
Xi Zhen and all the observers in the operating room watched Yu Zhiming's hand movements while glancing at the changes in data on the monitor nearby.
What Yu Zhiming didn't know was that the lines connected to the pregnant woman's belly were new equipment developed by Gulou Hospital.
It can not only monitor fetal heart rate and other data in real time, but also monitor changes in blood oxygen saturation in the fetal umbilical vein.
The fetus's umbilical vein blood oxygen saturation can directly reflect the umbilical cord's oxygen supply capacity.
Through this data, they can clearly judge the relief of umbilical cord torsion.
Xi Zhen discovered that as Yu Zhiming massaged with his hands, the number indicating the fetal blood oxygen saturation changed dramatically like a roller coaster.
62, 73, 71, 69, 70, 52, 74...
Watching these numbers changing rapidly, Xi Zhen's heart was beating fast and she felt worried.
According to the experimental data previously detected by this instrument, the normal value of fetal umbilical vein blood oxygen saturation is around 80.
If the value is lower than 70, the fetus will suffer from severe hypoxia, which will affect the fetus's physical development.
Among these numbers, the only one that caught Xi Zhen's eye was the higher numbers such as 73 and 74.
It was previously discovered that the fetus had umbilical cord torsion. Through treatments such as oxygen inhalation and hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Xi Zhen could only barely maintain the fetus's umbilical vein oxygen saturation at 70 or 71.
The occasional appearance of numbers like 73 and 74 now and then indicates that the treatment methods of this extremely young Dr. Yu are still somewhat effective.
As time went by, Xi Zhen was surprised to see numbers like 75 and 76 on the monitor...
