Chapter 458: Prepare for a Rainy Day
In addition to Dr. Weng and Dr. Cai, two people he knew, Yu Zhiming was introduced by Director Zou of the Orthopedics Department to Dr. Lin from the Neurosurgery Department and Dr. Hou, who specializes in microsurgery.
After a brief introduction, everyone present was a busy person, so they got straight to work without much greetings.
Yu Zhiming first introduced Dr. Xiang’s question.
On the one-to-one human-shaped cardboard provided by Director Zou, he briefly introduced the physical problems he discovered in Dr. Xiang and marked their locations.
Yu Zhiming had just finished his introduction and was about to drink some water to moisten his throat when Cai Yongxian's voice rang in his ears.
"Doctor Yu, if you are given a sufficiently quiet environment, what is the smallest diameter of the blood vessels you can explore?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "The blood vessels in the subcutaneous muscles are about 0.2. The blood vessels in the internal organs are about 0.5."
"No matter how quiet the environment is, the patient himself is a major source of noise, which will greatly interfere with my exploration."
The problem of Dr. Xiang's small blood vessels being broken that Yu Zhiming pointed out this time was that the thinnest one had a diameter of about 0.5 mm.
The ward environment was quite disturbing to him.
After Yu Zhiming answered, he went to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass of water in a disposable paper cup.
He didn't notice at all that the eyes of doctors Weng, Cai, Lin and Hou began to sparkle when they looked at him.
Director Zou cleared his throat and reminded, "Everyone, do you have any opinions on Dr. Xiang's condition?"
Weng Yang chuckled and said, "Doctor Xiang's biggest problem is the damage to his small blood vessels and nerves, which prevents him from having the same fine control over his hands as before."
"This problem used to be a big problem and was difficult to solve."
"However, now that we have the precise location of the injury provided by Dr. Yu, Dr. Xiang's problem is much easier to resolve."
"Whether it's a broken small blood vessel or nerve damage, it can be solved through autologous transplantation."
Doctor Hou took over and said, "Grafting blood vessels and nerves with a diameter of 0.2mm isn't very difficult."
"The biggest difficulty is finding these injuries."
"We cut through the skin and muscle looking for these injuries, and the collateral damage we cause may be greater than the damage itself."
“But it’s different with Dr. Yu doing the marking.”
Cai Yongxian also commented, "If the standard for vascular damage is raised to 0.2mm, the number of problems Dr. Xiang has would likely skyrocket to 100 or 200."
Director Zou said, "It's mainly to recover from the injuries to his hands and arms, and to restore Dr. Xiang's surgical abilities."
"As for other places, you can put them aside for now."
Cai Yongxian continued softly, "Even if it's just the hands and arms, the number of injuries that need repairing will increase to thirty or forty."
"This is a micro-transplantation repair surgery, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it will probably take several, or even dozens of operations to complete such a large repair."
"Doctor Xiang will have to suffer a lot."
Director Zou, now in a better mood, chuckled and said, "I know Dr. Xiang. As long as he can regain his surgical skills, he can endure any pain and suffering."
He looked at them and asked, "When it comes to microsurgery, you are all the best among the best at Huashan."
"Now with Dr. Yu's help, repairing Dr. Xiang's injuries is no longer impossible."
"Who's willing to take it?"
Doctors Weng, Cai, Lin and Hou exchanged glances with each other and fell silent.
Director Zou asked anxiously, "Does anyone have any concerns or inconveniences?"
Weng Yang looked at the others and spoke first, "Director Zou, it's not that we don't want to take over."
"In Dr. Xiang's case, surgery is necessary as soon as possible to prevent the problematic blood vessels and nerves from further atrophy and degeneration."
"But there are so many problems that need to be repaired, and the micro-repair surgery is extremely time-consuming. This may take half a month, or even longer."
"Our surgery schedule is basically fully booked during this period, so it's difficult to spare such a long time."
Director Zou had a headache.
The people in front of me are all experts in their respective fields, and they have a constant stream of patients to treat.
If only one operation is needed, it won't be a big problem for them to temporarily adjust their daily schedule and sacrifice some rest time.
But you need to free up two or three weeks at once?
Even for Director Zou himself, it is difficult to do so.
The other doctors and Dr. Xiang are just ordinary colleagues, so why should they make such a big sacrifice for him?
Director Zou thought of a solution and tentatively asked, "Could you please coordinate so that each of you can solve part of the problem and then complete the operation in relay?"
this……
Weng Yang looked at the other three and said thoughtfully, "This is a good idea."
He added with a hint of excitement, "Hey, could we even coordinate and complete a very long operation together?"
Doctor Lin said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Perhaps we can set a record for the longest operation time in the hospital."
Dr. Hou agreed: "We can make a plan."
He thought for a moment and said, "I can spare some time this Friday, what about you?"
Weng Yang pondered for a moment and said, "On Friday night, I shouldn't have any problems..."
Seeing them arranging the surgery timetable, Yu Zhiming stood up and interrupted, "There shouldn't be anything for me to do here, right?"
"I'll go back first."
"Doctor Yu..."
Cai Yong first stopped Yu Zhiming and said, "To perform a relay operation, we need to develop a detailed and meticulous surgical plan."
"The first thing is a map of the location of Dr. Xiang's arm injury. This map needs to be extremely detailed and accurately positioned."
"Doctor Yu, this job is best suited for you."
Yu Zhiming turned his gaze to Director Zou and said, "Director Zou, I need you to arrange a quiet environment for me to perform another physical examination on Dr. Xiang."
Director Zou nodded and asked again to confirm, "Doctor Yu, are there any standards for this quiet place?"
"Of course the quieter the better!"
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and sighed, "Well, the bedroom I live in has been specially soundproofed. Relatively speaking, it's the second quietest place I know in Binhai."
"You can send Dr. Xiang to my bedroom."
Director Zou said solemnly, "On behalf of Dr. Xiang, I would like to thank Dr. Yu for your support and dedication."
Yu Zhiming smiled and decided, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Send him to my house around nine o'clock tomorrow evening."
He glanced at everyone again and asked, "Any questions? If not, I'll be leaving."
Seeing that they did not ask any questions, Yu Zhiming got up and left Director Zou's office.
He had just taken a few steps out when he heard the footsteps of Dr. Weng Yang chasing after him.
Yu Zhiming stopped and turned around.
"Doctor Weng?"
Weng Yang, who had come closer, said with gratitude, "Doctor Yu, I came out here to tell you something."
"Weng Rui's adrenal adenoma surgery is complete, and the pathology analysis report came out this afternoon."
“It’s benign.”
Yu Zhiming replied: "Good news."
Weng Yang chuckled and said, "It's indeed good news. I've also noticed that Weng Rui has become much more cheerful and happy these past two days. It's a genuine happiness."
He added with a hint of self-blame: "To be honest, I originally thought I had done pretty well during this period."
"She has been liberated."
"But seeing her relieved and unforced smile these past two days, I realized that what I've done is still not enough."
Yu Zhiming comforted her in a mature tone, "You can't tell, that's normal! Isn't it said that women, regardless of age, are born actors?"
"As long as we are sincere in our dedication and care, they can feel it."
Weng Yang hummed lightly.
Just as Yu Zhiming was about to say goodbye to Dr. Weng, he saw Dr. Cai coming out of Director Zou's office and walking towards him.
"Doctor Yu, I need your assistance with something."
"Doctor Cai, please speak!" Yu Zhiming said politely.
Dr. Cai said, "I have a patient who is a professional tennis player. Due to years of training and competition, he has accumulated many hidden injuries."
"These injuries not only affected her game status, but also her daily life."
"Especially at night, I often can't fall asleep or wake up in the middle of the night because of the pain in some parts of my body."
"Doctor Yu, could you give her a physical examination? Finding out the exact problem will allow me to provide targeted treatment."
Yu Zhiming said vaguely: "Doctor Cai, I'm a little busy recently. Let's talk after I'm done with this!"
After hearing what he said, Dr. Cai felt it was not appropriate to force Yu Zhiming to agree to his request again, so he just said "Okay".
After a pause, he turned and said, "Doctor Yu, there will be a national sports injury medical seminar in Binhai next Friday and Saturday."
"Are you interested in participating?"
Yu Zhiming said with regret: "I definitely don't have time on Friday or Saturday."
"I can only thank you, Dr. Cai, for your kindness..."
Sports medicine is indeed a very good branch of medicine. If you can make a name for yourself in this medical field, your future and financial prospects will be very bright.
First, professional athletes earn good incomes.
Second, athletes are very prone to injury.
But Yu Zhiming had his own ideas.
For a long time, Yu Zhiming had a deep-seated worry in his heart: what if his super-sensitive hearing suddenly disappeared?
He needs to plan ahead.
In addition to relying on super-sensitive hearing to perform physical examinations, cancer screening, and serve as a flaw detection tool, he also needs to make solid progress in a certain medical field so that he can make achievements in medicine without relying on super-sensitive hearing.
However, Yu Zhiming has never chosen which sub-field of medicine to delve into.
However, he was sure it wouldn't be sports medicine.
Many sports injury treatments rely on surgical methods, which is not suitable for Yu Zhiming, an internist.
As for the stomach and liver, which he is most familiar with, they are not very suitable either.
If he lost his super-sensitive hearing, he would have to rely more on medical imaging data to diagnose stomach and liver diseases in the future.
But his weakness lies in the interpretation of medical images.
Breast examinations rely more on touch and seem less closely related to super-sensitive hearing...
Yu Zhiming felt that it was necessary to do a test. Without super sensitive hearing, what could he achieve?
