Seeing Yu Zhiming start to insert tiny spiral spring coils into the patient's aneurysm cavity through a microcatheter, Dr. Dong glanced at the electronic clock on the wall.
He was slightly startled and found that the timing function of the clock showed that the operation had only lasted fifty-one minutes.
Based on the patient's brain aneurysm, Dr. Dong estimated that the operation would take about two and a half hours.
Yu Zhiming, this freak... or to be more precise, this genius, actually took more than half the time than him.
Doctor Dong took another look at the patient's main physiological indicators and found that breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. were all stable within a reasonable fluctuation range.
It seemed that the patient's body was unaware that it was undergoing a life-threatening, high-risk surgery and was just sleeping soundly.
At this point in the operation, Dr. Dong has confirmed that the operation was a complete success, and the next step is the finishing work with little risk.
He left the operating room with a complex and unspeakable feeling in his heart...
More than ten minutes later, Dr. Dong appeared in a single room on the fifth floor of Zhizhen Building.
Dr. Shao was seen sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, chatting and laughing with his wife and children.
"Ah, Doctor Dong, you're here."
Shao Guodong greeted in surprise, and then noticed Dr. Dong's expression, which was serious and heavy.
His heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously, "Did something go wrong with Doctor Yu's surgery?"
Shao Guodong's surgery, which was originally scheduled to start at nine o'clock this morning, was postponed for several hours. He already knew that it was because Yu Zhiming was going to undergo a cerebral vascular interventional surgery.
However, he did not know the type and difficulty of this interventional surgery.
In order to prevent his emotional fluctuations from affecting the operation, Qi Yue and others deliberately concealed some things from him.
Shao Guodong also knew that this was a practice operation that Yu Zhiming had specially taken over in preparation for his own surgery.
Although he had changed the surgeon, Yu Zhiming couldn't go back on his word, so this practice operation remained the same.
Shao Guodong thought that as a first practice operation, the difficulty would not be great. It was just a routine interventional operation such as clearing cerebral vascular stenosis or stent implantation.
Now seeing Dr. Dong appear here so quickly, with a serious expression on his face, Shao Guodong naturally assumed that the operation performed by Yu Zhiming had failed.
This made Shao Guodong feel both relieved and a little guilty.
Fortunately, he did not care about his face and pretended not to see Qi Yue's strong recommendation. He used his connections to invite Dr. Dong Zhe, who enjoyed a high reputation in the field of cerebrovascular interventional surgery.
The guilt he felt was because he felt sorry for the patient who had a problem during surgery. Shao Guodong felt a sense of guilt that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
After all, it was because of him that the medical genius with high expectations but low skills had the arrogance to find a patient to practice on...
Dong Zhe exhaled lightly and slowly introduced: "On the contrary, the operation went smoothly, even perfectly."
He faced Shao Guodong's questioning gaze, struggled internally for a moment, and finally said, "Doctor Shao, speaking solely of cerebrovascular interventional surgery, I, Dong Zhe, have always been conceited and have never been defeated by anyone in the domestic medical community."
"But today, I must admit..."
After a pause, Dong Zhe said with some difficulty, "I am convinced by Doctor Yu."
"Besides, the gap between him and me is not just a little bit, it cannot be measured in miles."
Feeling relaxed, Dong Zhe said sincerely, "Doctor Shao, in order to make your operation smoother and more reliable, I strongly suggest that you hire Doctor Yu back."
this……
The ward was silent for a moment, so quiet that one could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
Shao Guodong's throat rolled up and down, and he asked in disbelief, "Doctor Dong, did I hear correctly?"
"You have over forty years of experience in neurosurgery and are a nationally recognized expert in cerebrovascular interventions, yet you're actually no match for a young man who's performing his first cerebrovascular intervention?"
Dong Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Although I don't want to admit it and it sounds a bit ridiculous, it is 100% true."
"Let's put it this way, the world of geniuses is indeed beyond the comprehension of us ordinary people."
"Dr. Yu is a true genius who can do what others cannot, a rare sight in a century."
"I was really shocked."
Dong Zhe sighed for a while, then persuaded, "Doctor Shao, I must tell you this in full. Doctor Yu is much better than me. To be frank, he crushes me."
"Don't miss out on the best options right here, as this could be a matter of life and death for your health."
This involves honor and dignity. Given Dr. Dong's status in the medical field, Shao Guodong doesn't think he would lie.
So, after all, the clown ends up being himself?
Shao Guodong's heart was a little confused for a moment...
After another period of silence, Shao Guodong sorted out his messy thoughts and looked at Dong Zhe again with a sharp gaze.
"Doctor Dong, considering my condition, this brain aneurysm interventional treatment shouldn't be a big problem for you, right?"
Dong Zhe nodded and said confidently, "Although your situation is a bit complicated, I have dealt with more complicated cases before."
"I wouldn't say it's 100 percent, but the possibility of success is still quite high."
Shao Guodong smiled with relief and said, "That's enough. Even if Dr. Yu's vascular interventional skills are great, in the end, the operation is just a successful completion."
"But you can do this, Doctor Dong."
"For me, whether I choose Dr. Yu or Dr. Dong, the result is the same."
Shao Guodong said solemnly, "So, Dr. Dong, please take the trouble to continue the operation on me."
Dong Zhe and Shao Guodong looked at each other for a moment and asked in confirmation, "Are you sure you want to insist?"
"As a neurologist, you're well aware that this brain aneurysm interventional surgery has many side effects, and I can't guarantee that they'll all be avoided."
The sequelae of cerebral aneurysm interventional surgery include but are not limited to the following.
For example, bleeding.
After interventional surgery for cerebral aneurysm, the blood vessel wall may be damaged, causing postoperative blood vessel rupture, leading to bleeding and symptoms of ventricular compression.
For example, hydrocephalus.
Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm can cause extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage and may lead to obstructive hydrocephalus.
For example, cerebral artery embolism.
The advancement of the microcatheter within the blood vessel may cause endothelial damage, thrombosis during intravascular operation, or detachment of atherosclerotic plaques on the blood vessel wall, leading to cerebral artery embolism.
There is also a certain possibility of developing sequelae such as limb dysfunction, epilepsy, aphasia, dysphagia, and even leading to vegetative state...
Shao Guodong nodded vigorously and replied: "I insist!"
"Doctor Dong, I believe in your ability and will be able to complete the operation smoothly."
"Okay, thank you for your trust!"
Dong Zhe said with great enthusiasm: "Doctor Shao, I will not let you down and will do my best."
"The operation will begin in half an hour..."
Looking at Dong Zhe's back as he walked away, Shao Guodong's face showed hesitation and confusion.
He didn't know whether his stubborn persistence in order not to be a clown made any sense?
Shao Guodong was very clear about one thing: even if the brain aneurysm interventional surgery went smoothly and was successful, there would be a big difference in the postoperative results between doctors with high skills and doctors with low skills.
Those kinds of sequelae are not just routinely informed to patients...
Yu Zhiming completed the interventional surgery for the cerebral aneurysm and observed the patient for another half an hour. Finding no abnormalities, he asked the nurse to send the patient back to the ward.
He prepared to go back to his soundproof office to rest.
Around half past ten in the morning, Yu Zhiming walked into the large office and was somewhat surprised to see a capable woman in her forties with short hair standing up from Zhou Mo's work chair.
"Hello, Doctor Yu! I'm Tong Yu from Oriental Hospital."
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the other person was a heroic woman, so he quickly invited her into the soundproof office and sat down.
"Doctor Tong, please have some water." Yu Zhiming took a bottle of mineral water and gave it to Tong Yu.
Qing Ning accompanied Xu Juan to go through the hospitalization procedures and physical examination, so Yu Zhiming had to entertain the guests himself.
Tong Yu took the mineral water and said thank you.
"Last night, I received a call from Dean Chang, asking me to come to you as soon as possible today. He also told me to strive for cooperation with you, Doctor Yu."
Tong Yu introduced himself directly and then said, "Doctor Yu, how can I demonstrate my strength?"
"Or maybe you could give me a question to test me?"
Yu Zhiming explained seriously: "Doctor Tong, your ability is actually enough, but I want to do better."
"Some patients have suffered from chronic injuries that have lasted for many years and have recovered and adapted themselves over a long period of time."
"These injuries have become complicated and minor, and they feel like a waste of time."
"I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying."
Tong Yu nodded and said, "I totally understand."
"For example, if you have an old back injury, it's very uncomfortable to sit for a long time, but surgery to repair it is not worth it and may even make the situation worse."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."
"My complex injury repair is to resolve these old injuries, both large and small, which are useless. This requires the surgeon to perform with high precision."
"We can't let patients spend a lot of money and go through a lot of pain, only to see the surgery only slightly improve the results."
Tong Yu nodded and continued, "Doctor Yu, I know that the complex injury repair project you presided over has already performed surgical repairs on four people."
"To be honest, before coming here, I contacted someone overnight and went to meet someone early in the morning."
"who?"
"One of your patients, Yu Zhen."
Tong Yu unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, took a sip, and continued, "He described to me in detail the changes before and after the operation, and expressed his deep gratitude to you, Dr. Yu."
After a pause, she continued, "Through his physical changes, I also have a preliminary understanding of the work I need to do."
"Doctor Yu, I'm not bragging, but I can definitely replace Doctor Weng Yang's job..."
At this moment, the door of the soundproof office was suddenly pushed open, and Dr. Dong Zhe, dressed in surgical attire, strode in.
"Doctor Yu, there's a special situation. Doctor Shao's kidneys are overreacting to the angiographic contrast agent."
"Under these circumstances, you are the only one who can perform the interventional surgery for his cerebral aneurysm..."
