After 6:20 in the evening, Yu Zhiming, who had replenished some energy through snacks, took Zhou Mo to the operating floor of the oncology department.
In the family waiting area, Yu Zhiming saw his father-in-law Gu Changxuan with the patient's family.
"Dad, you're here too."
Gu Changxuan nodded and said, "As an old classmate, and since this is such a critical operation, I came here to cheer you up."
Yu Zhiming secretly paid attention and found that in these few tens of seconds, his father-in-law did not have any eye contact or any other interaction with the patient's son.
Maybe he was just overthinking it?
At this moment, Zhou Mo suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, Uncle Gu, at first glance, you and this patient's family member really look alike."
this……
What you fear will come true. Yu Zhiming wished he could sew this guy's mouth shut with sutures.
How did you show up?
Gu Changxuan looked at the patient's son beside him, touched his face, and looked at Yu Zhiming.
"Zhiming, do we really look a bit alike?"
Yu Zhiming hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, not at all. I don't see any similarities between you two."
"Dad, I have to go in for surgery."
Having said this, Yu Zhiming didn't wait for his father-in-law to respond, and quickly walked towards the operating room where family members were not allowed to enter...
More than an hour later, Yu Zhiming walked out of the operating area and found that his father-in-law had not left yet.
He introduced: "Dad, my work is over, and the next operation is just the beginning."
"It will probably take more than three hours."
"They are all performed by experienced chief surgeons, so the possibility of accidents during the operation is very low."
Gu Changxuan nodded and said, "Of course I trust the strength of Huashan Hospital."
After a pause, he turned and said, "Zhiming, the little boy who went abroad for eye treatment has had a successful treatment. He has passed the adaptation and observation period and will return home in the next two days."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "This is really good news."
Gu Changxuan hummed, then continued, "I heard from your assistant that you have another brain surgery coming up."
"Go get busy, the sooner you finish, the sooner you can go back..."
After walking out of the oncology building, Yu Zhiming was about to criticize Zhou Mo for being too talkative when he saw her handing him the phone.
"Half an hour ago, Dr. Lou Xinghua from Bin University Affiliated Hospital came to see you and said he wanted to discuss the surgical plan."
"Doctor Yu, are you calling back now?"
"still?"
Yu Zhiming took the phone, found Dr. Lou's call log, and called back...
"Doctor Yu, I've already developed the surgical plan. Like I said at the beginning, this operation is very challenging. It's half hard work and half luck."
"Doctor Yu, do you have anything else to say about the child's surgery?"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lou, for your hard work. Let the child's parents know the exact risks of the surgery. They will make the final decision on whether to proceed with the surgery."
Dr. Lou responded on the phone.
Yu Zhiming suddenly remembered the little boy from last time and asked, "Doctor Lou, what about the little boy with the heart defect?"
Dr. Lou sighed softly and said, "The boy was completely abandoned by his parents. Then, they took him to Binhai where he spent a few happy days eating, drinking, and having fun."
"Just a few days ago, the child suffered an acute heart failure attack and passed away."
Dr. Lou sighed again, "That couple donated their child's organs, and they helped seven people in total."
"It can be said that my life was not in vain. I have left my mark in another way..."
After ending the call with Dr. Lou, Yu Zhiming heard Zhou Mo's voice again.
"Doctor Yu, Xie Wanwan's assistant contacted me again, hoping that we could jointly issue a statement."
"It was pointed out that there was indeed discussion about the medical examination, but it was temporarily put on hold due to a conflict in the schedules of both parties."
Yu Zhiming snorted softly and said, "I'm right. Celebrities are always troublesome. Let them issue their own statement. I'm not interested in playing along with them."
He then asked, “How did the news leak?”
Zhou Mo chuckled, "The assistant told me that it's very likely that someone in their team was careless and talked about it outside, and someone accidentally overheard it."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the old specimen building.
Yu Zhiming walked up the stairs to the brightly lit third underground floor. When he opened the staircase door, he was no longer greeted by the scorching heat, but by a spring-like breeze, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Walking in the corridor, Yu Zhiming discovered a large high-definition screen embedded in the wall, showing dynamic images of the grassland.
In the picture, the white clouds in the sky are moving slowly.
In the distance of the picture, there is a shepherd on horseback, slowly driving the flock of sheep.
Yu Zhiming could still hear the sound of the wind and the intermittent shouts of herdsmen coming from the distance.
It was as if Yu Zhiming was standing in a high-rise building, admiring the lush grassland scenery with fat sheep through the window.
Moreover, the high-definition screens on the left and right walls all display grassland scenery, and the details echo each other.
It was as if they were really walking on a high-rise building amidst a grassland.
Zhou Mo exclaimed in surprise and said, "This renovation is truly packed with detail. It uses technology to trick our brains and eliminate the feeling of depression we feel when working in the basement."
"Tsk tsk, the Logistics Department deserves praise, great praise."
Yu Zhiming was also very satisfied.
After all, working in a basement without seeing the sun or the moon for a long time will inevitably have some negative effects on the body and mind.
At this time, Yu Zhiming heard some noise and saw several people walking out of the nurses' station.
There was Tian Wen, a middle school teacher, two elderly people, and a man in his thirties with a crew cut.
There was also a boy about eleven or twelve years old.
Yu Zhiming knew that they were the patient's family members.
Tian Wen was the first to speak and said, "Doctor Yu, my husband has been pushed into the operating room and is waiting for you."
Yu Zhiming nodded in response and asked, "Did Doctor Zhao explain the treatment process to you?"
Tian Wen replied softly, "I've told you that. We'll do a puncture, an IV drip of blood clot-dissolving drugs, and then we'll need to observe for an hour to see if there are any adverse reactions, such as bleeding."
"After that, he was transferred to the neurosurgery ward and closely monitored for the dissolution of the blood clot within two days."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Doctor Zhao's introduction was quite detailed, so I won't go into details."
"Do you have any other questions?"
An elderly man in his sixties or seventies said, "Doctor Yu, I am the patient's father."
"Dr. Zhao mentioned a lot of unexpected risks in his introduction just now, such as cerebral hemorrhage, epilepsy, brain damage, and even vegetative state and brain death."
“Are there really so many risks?”
Yu Zhiming explained: "The brain is the most complex organ in our body, and even medicine hasn't fully explored it yet."
"Puncture treatment will inevitably cause brain damage."
"As for the extent of the damage, any accidents and sequelae, no one can make an accurate prediction before treatment."
"The reason Dr. Zhao listed all the possibilities during and after the operation is to comply with medical regulations..."
At this moment, a man in his thirties with a crew cut suddenly interrupted and said, "It's also to evade medical responsibility."
"If anything unexpected or unexpected happens to my brother during his treatment, you can escape responsibility by saying you've already informed me in advance."
Yu Zhiming suppressed his displeasure and continued to explain, "Let me tell you in advance that signing the surgery consent form is not a golden ticket for us doctors to get out of jail."
"If something unexpected really happens during treatment, you can apply for a medical malpractice appraisal. If it's determined to be our fault, we will bear the responsibility."
The man with the crew cut added angrily, "Those who do the medical appraisals are the same as you doctors. They only take your side."
Yu Zhiming frowned.
This guy speaks so harshly, could it be that he has experienced a medical accident and been hurt before?
Yu Zhiming turned his gaze to Tian Wen.
"I know you have already signed the surgical documents, but you still have the right to stop the treatment before it officially begins."
"Teacher Tian, do you have anything else to say?"
When Yu Zhiming asked this question, he saw the patient's wife Tian Wen turn her gaze to the old man who had just asked the question.
The patient's father.
Yu Zhiming sighed to himself.
It's like this again.
When it comes to their husband's major treatment, many wives tend to leave the decision-making power to their husband's parents, brothers, or adult children, and are unwilling to make the decision themselves.
When the patient's father saw his daughter-in-law looking at him, he took the lead and asked again.
"Doctor, can you give us a clear idea of whether my son will be completely cured after this treatment?"
"Also, how likely is it that something unexpected will happen during treatment?"
this……
With such a question, and the patient's brother standing next to him who obviously had a problem with the doctor, plus the patient's wife's retreat, Yu Zhiming naturally would not stubbornly give an affirmative answer.
He said vaguely: "It is impossible to be completely cured, but there is a high probability that there will be a certain degree of improvement in symptoms."
"As for the extent of improvement, I can't say for sure. There's a certain possibility that the situation will get worse."
"As for the possibility of unexpected events during treatment, I can only say that the possibility is small and difficult to quantify."
When the patient's brother heard this, he got angry.
"You keep talking about maybe, probably, and unsure. You don't even have much confidence yourself. How can we believe that you have the ability to cure my brother?"
Zhou Mo couldn't stand it anymore and was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by a look from Yu Zhiming.
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "No one can give a definitive answer to the treatment of brain injuries."
"Now, I need an accurate answer from you."
"Treat? Or not?"
The patient's younger brother yelled, "Dr. Tan said before that my brother's condition requires good care of himself."
"Surgery will only make things worse."
When Tian Wen heard this, she opened her mouth, but eventually closed it again without saying a word.
The patient's father thought for a moment and sighed.
"Since my son can gradually get better through gradual recuperation, there's no need for him to undergo risky treatment."
"Doctor, we can't treat it."
Although this decision made many of Yu Zhiming's preparations in vain, it cannot be said to be wrong.
Given the patient's condition, it is indeed safer to recover through long-term nursing care.
It’s hard to say how long the recovery will take.
several years?
More than ten years?
Or a lifetime?
Yu Zhiming agreed to perform the puncture treatment only after Tian Wen pleaded with him, saying that he was overwhelmed with the care.
But now...
Yu Zhiming glanced at Tian Wen, who was looking down and silent, and walked towards the operating room...
