Upon entering the ICU ward.
Su Zhengnan then saw a man lying on the hospital bed with his body covered in bandages, and couldn't help but sigh.
His limbs were wrapped in gauze, his body was covered with tubes, and the upper half of his head was completely sunken in. He was in a coma.
And yet he's still alive....
I don't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky!
Su Zhengnan turned to Zhu Jiangcai and asked, "What kind of car hit him? It's so serious. I don't think a simple cerebrospinal fluid repair surgery would be enough to cure him, right?"
"He was hit by a large truck. Fortunately, the truck was empty, and the injured person was lying under the electric vehicle at the time, so the wheels did not kill him on the spot when they ran over him."
Zhu Jiangcai couldn't help but sigh softly, a hint of regret on his face, and said:
"One cerebrospinal fluid repair surgery certainly cannot restore all the damage. At least three or four more surgeries will be needed. I just don't know if their family has enough money to do these surgeries."
"Huh? Wasn't it a car accident? The insurance company should pay, right?"
Su Zhengnan looked at Zhu Jiangcai with some surprise and asked.
Zhu Jiangcai shook his head slightly and said, "The insurance company will indeed pay some compensation, but according to the traffic police's determination, the injured party needs to bear secondary responsibility. Therefore, the insurance company will only pay about 70% at most, and the injured party will need to pay 30% of the treatment costs himself."
"Well....."
Su Zhengnan was at a loss for words, so he stepped forward, placed his hand on the injured person's wrist, and carefully took the person's pulse.
Don't be fooled by the fact that you only need to pay 30% of the treatment cost yourself.
This proportion is unaffordable for most ordinary families.
Moreover, the injured person needs more than one surgery.
Feeling the patient's pulse.
Su Zhengnan only felt that his pulse was weak, slow and unclear, and he looked like he was weak in qi and blood!
Subsequently, Su Zhengnan confirmed the patient's other injuries through palpation and found that although the fractures in the patient's limbs had been healed, the healing was not very precise.
In addition to severe brain injuries, the injured person also suffered from organ ruptures within the chest cavity.
Judging from these injuries...
It's truly a miracle that this patient has survived until now; their vitality is exceptionally strong.
a long time.
Su Zhengnan stood up and asked Director Zhu, "What time is the surgery scheduled to take place?"
"It's 10:30. The other doctors should be here by now."
Zhu Jiang glanced at the time and replied.
You should know that today is Saturday, and many doctors are actually off.
Most emergency room surgeons don't come to work unless they have a pre-booked surgery for today.
However, several surgeons have to work overtime for today's surgery. They have already changed into their white coats at the hospital and are ready to perform surgery at any time.
Watching Su Zhengnan examine the patient, Zhu Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Does Dr. Su have any suggestions for this surgery?"
"suggestion?"
Su Zhengnan pondered for a moment and said, "If you, Director Zhu, were to ask me, my suggestion would be whether we could perform both the brain surgery and the thoracic surgery in this one operation. This would solve both the cerebrospinal fluid repair problem and the organ tearing problem at the same time."
"You mean you want to do both surgeries together?"
Zhu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "If we do the two surgeries together, I'm afraid the patient's body simply cannot withstand it, and there won't be enough time."
"After all, if a surgery takes too long, the patient's various physical functions will be tested. With the current surgical skills of our hospital, I'm afraid we can't perform these two surgeries at the same time."
Although the surgical skills of the Third People's Hospital of Beijing are indeed superb.
At least nationally, it would rank among the top twenty.
However, even if all the surgeons at the Third People's Hospital were to work together, they would not be able to perform two surgeries simultaneously when faced with such a severely injured car accident victim.
Su Zhengnan looked at Zhu Jiangcai with a serious expression and said:
"If you, Director Zhu, have confidence in my medical skills, I will be the lead surgeon for this operation. I can guarantee that I can simultaneously repair the patient's brain and chest cavity within three hours."
"Huh? You're going to be the surgeon? This... is this really okay?"
Zhu Jiangcai was somewhat skeptical. Although he knew Su Zhengnan was a skilled doctor, performing two surgeries at the same time was no joke.
Su Zhengnan nodded confidently and said, "I am confident, please trust me."
Seeing Su Zhengnan's firm stance, Zhu Jiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I still need to have a meeting with other doctors to confirm this matter. I also need to communicate with the patient's family to avoid any disputes after the surgery."
Changing surgeons at the last minute is no small matter.
Both other assistants and patients' families need their affirmation.
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "Didn't you say the surgery wouldn't start until 10:30? It's only 8:30 now, so we have two hours to prepare. Director Zhu, why don't you call a meeting with the other surgeons first?"
"Okay, fine!"
Zhu Jiangcai didn't hesitate and immediately called over all the surgeons scheduled for today's operations.
.............
Inside the meeting room.
Everyone has arrived!
Zhu Jiangcai repeated what Su Zhengnan had just said to everyone, and then asked the crowd:
"Dr. Su's idea is that he will be the lead surgeon this time, so that two surgeries can be completed in the same time, which will reduce the risk of the patient's next surgery and save the patient the cost of one surgery."
What do you all think?
Upon hearing Director Zhu's question...
For a moment, the surgeons present looked at each other, unsure of what to say next.
After all, they had learned something about Su Zhengnan's traditional Chinese medicine skills after spending the past six months with him.
However, no one knew anything about Su Zhengnan's surgical skills, so they didn't know how to express their opinion.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Jiangcai couldn't help but turn his gaze to Su Zhengnan and say:
"Dr. Su, why don't you say a few words?"
"Okay!"
Su Zhengnan knew that if he didn't say something, the surgeons present would probably not agree to let him perform the surgery.
This is not only about the patient's life and safety, but also about the reputation of these surgeons.
After all, this is their home turf.
Su Zhengnan was merely a doctor on temporary assignment.
