Chapter 1271: 1233 Unreliable Patient's Family (Alliance Leader LM7 Bonus Chapter 5)

"How many people?" Zheng Ren asked.

"There are 23 professors, experts, and scholars who came with Dr. Mei Ha'er from around the world." Su Yun said: "They're the kind who can perform surgery. I raised the fee to one million dollars to stop those who just talk big."

"What about domestically?" Zheng Ren continued asking.

"Director Zhou knows 11 department heads from various places."

34 people, seems pretty good.

"Foreign experts demanded to lecture in English, but I refused." Su Yun laughed and said: "Having come to China, we must use Chinese; we can't indulge them."

"Hmm." Zheng Ren said: "Tomorrow morning?"

"Old Zhou told me he specially prepared a small operating table for dissection. Speaking of which, how did you guys do anatomy in school?"

"There aren't enough anatomy teachers, so how else could we take the class?" Zheng Ren said expressionlessly.

"Old Zhou said, a solitary small operating table dedicated to dissection. When the lights dim all around, you'll stand alone under the shadowless lamp—enough to make you smug. I thought about it; it feels like a concert. Old Zhou, not bad."

Zheng Ren chuckled; he had zero interest in such matters.

"Tomorrow our phase-two surgery patients will be discharged one after another, and we'll admit new patients. Old Liu will go watch the dissection, so let Chang Yue stay home busy." Su Yun had already arranged everything.

Zheng Ren nodded; there was nothing to criticize.

"Liu Xu zhi's side patient has already been admitted; once Dr. Mei Ha'er leaves, we can fly over." As she said this, Su Yun's eyes lit up.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren, unlike Su Yun, didn't have an extraordinary love for the Gobi Desert. To him, it was just an ordinary flying knife trip—go do surgery, have fun for a night, then fly back.

Su Yun nagged about countless things; seeing Zheng Ren's emotions seem to stabilize a bit, she also let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

Really, this kind of weak-willed scoundrel boss, once he loses his temper, can be quite frightening.

Back in the Intervention Department, Liu Zewei was handling a patient's discharge procedures.

The patient's postoperative recovery was fairly good, lab indicators looked fine, and the patient herself especially disliked staying in the hospital, always complaining about nothing, so she shouldn't have come to Di Du for treatment.

Wanting to discharge, just sign and leave. The surgery's safety net ensures there's no problem.

Seeing Zheng Ren return, Liu Zewei greeted him and asked: "When Dr. Shen went to the outpatient clinic, he said he'd booked a critically ill patient; there might be some minor family issues, Boss Zheng, what do you think..."

"Where's Dr. Shen?" Zheng Ren asked.

"He went to the catheterization room to check the equipment installation." Liu Zewei said.

Zheng Ren called Dr. Shen and had him called back.

Regardless of the patient's condition severity, Zheng Ren didn't care much. As long as there are no surgical contraindications, after TIPS surgery the patient's symptoms can be relieved.

The reason it's difficult and countless Intervention Department doctors keep researching is precisely because the postoperative outcomes are good.

But the patient's family has issues, so we need to carefully assess the danger level.

Zheng Ren certainly can't repeatedly flirt with danger at the 404 edge; that's a basic professional ethic for a doctor.

Dr. Shen hurried back, and Zheng Ren asked: "What's the situation with the critically ill patient Old Liu mentioned?"

"The patient is a 62-year-old woman who vomited blood 12 days ago, was hospitalized locally for treatment, and was advised to undergo TIPS surgery. After her vomiting improved, she came to our hospital for consultation." Dr. Shen stood straight and began presenting the medical history.

Su Yun held her phone; the Pengcheng Mu Tao side had performed another five surgeries today, to be added to the tally. While she was improving the logistics statistics, she glanced at Dr. Shen with a smirk.

The boss's authority is truly growing day by day; Dr. Shen's expression when reporting the condition is exactly the same as when he reports to Director Kong.

Does such a technological dominance really produce that big an impact? Su Yun's email reply speed slowed a bit.

"She has a history of cerebral infarction, mobility impaired. Her condition is suitable for surgery, but her two sons seem unreliable."

"How are they unreliable?"

"I see the old lady is filthy, as if she hasn't bathed in ages. Her two sons speak especially rudely; they came in complaining about the long queue, couldn't get a specialist appointment, and could only register for my ordinary clinic." Dr. Shen said.

"How is the patient's condition? Is the vomiting blood under control?"

"But medically speaking, we need to hurry and do the TIPS surgery. However, the patient's family are quite fierce and don't understand things. Whether to admit or not, Boss Zheng, you decide." Dr. Shen said.

Zheng Ren pondered for one minute.

Although one minute isn't long, in this context it feels extraordinarily long and agonizing.

"Call her to come be hospitalized." Zheng Ren said.

Sometimes many people's lives and deaths hinge on a single thought of a doctor.

It's not that we refuse to treat; with the same patients, we don't need to consider patient sources, and the various inns outside the hospital are full of people waiting in line for inpatient surgery. So deciding whom to admit and whom to reject becomes a very delicate matter.

Those admitted earliest are definitely the ones with better medical compliance.

This medical compliance doesn't mean giving red envelopes; many people who give red envelopes then complain to the Medical Department or inspection teams.

One important skill for doctors is—physiognomy. (Note 1)

Whether a patient and their family have good medical compliance can be observed through their words and actions.

With so many patients awaiting treatment, who wouldn't want to admit a few with good medical compliance? Absolutely no one would voluntarily take on the challenge of pushing industry limits for no reason.

They're just situations we stumbled into and had no choice but to handle.

Zheng Ren pondered for a long time, but ultimately decided to admit her, judging that the patient's vomiting blood situation was not optimistic. After all, the local doctors directly recommended TIPS surgery, and the two troublesome sons had also come to Di Du.

This means the local doctors' tone when conveying the condition should be very stern and solemn.

In other words, if the patient can't promptly undergo TIPS surgery, she could at any moment spit out a mouthful of blood and die in some small inn near the 912 area.

Because the surgery provides a safety net, Zheng Ren doesn't mind brushing up against extreme conditions. His own chance of mishap is far lower than other doctors'. Moreover, there's Chang Yue as insurance...

Even so, Zheng Ren is still striving to overcome his psychological hurdles, making a difficult choice.

"All right." Liu Zewei said: "Boss Zheng, I'll be careful."

After saying that, Liu Zewei began flipping through the documents Dr. Shen had compiled, found the information on that 62-year-old female patient, and placed the call.

He used the department's landline; after a few rings, a voice came from the phone.

"Who are you?"

The voice was especially loud, sounding like it wanted to start a fight, full of domineering vigor.

……

Note 1: A teacher said it, at that time he gave several examples, which made my heart feel sorrowful. It is not the physiognomy of fortune-telling, but rather the kind of looking at medical conformity.
