Chapter 347: 340 Boundless Merit (Silver Alliance 37 Inter Entertainment Li Yifei Bonus Chapter 4)
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The deputy director of the Medical Affairs Section's words made it clear——let's all disperse.
But how could someone be so clueless?
Moreover...
Who is he!
The hospital has over a thousand people; the Intervention Department doctor isn't the sociable type, so about half of those present don't know what he does. The other half knows he does interventional procedures, but they also don't know his skill level.
The deputy director of the Medical Affairs Section was stunned for a moment, then displeasedly put down what he was holding.
"Lower gastrointestinal bleeding can actually be located and the corresponding bowel resected." the Intervention Department doctor said confidently.
If one had only seen the procedure in books or magazines, they would hardly dare to be so certain.
But that surgery keeps replaying in his mind to this day, every detail fresh in his memory.
Medicine is an empirical science.
Having seen it, I only recall that if the skill level can be reached, a new treatment can be launched.
And that patient wouldn't have to lie in an ICU bed waiting to die.
At the very least, the chance of survival would increase countlessfold.
"Huh?" the deputy director of the Medical Affairs Section and the head of General Surgery both froze.
This disease can be treated? I've never heard of that!
The Intervention Department doctor stood up; although he was in the corner, his confident voice echoed in the office.
"A few days ago, on the Xinglin Yuan professional forum, there was a surgery livestream with a similar procedure." The Intervention Department doctor's voice was resonant and powerful, full of confidence: "Using an interventional approach to locate the bleeding point…"
"It's useless; we've tried before. After opening the abdomen, the bleeding point's location cannot be determined at all." The head of General Surgery interrupted him.
"No!" the Intervention Department doctor said: "After locating the bleeding point, perform interventional embolization, cutting off blood supply to part of the mesenteric artery."
"That would cause bowel necrosis!" the head of General Surgery's voice sounded sharp and angry.
This isn't just messing around, is it?
Bowel necrosis, especially if iatrogenic, is a textbook medical accident—is this kid courting death?
Definitely!
If you want to die, go find death yourself; don't drag me along.
"Yes! That's exactly the point—to cause bowel necrosis." The Intervention Department doctor recalled the surgery from the Xinglin Yuan livestream once more, then said: "The embolization procedure takes half an hour to an hour; the necrotic bowel shows clear changes, distinguishable from normal bowel. As long as we resect the necrotic bowel and perform a bowel anastomosis, the bleeding point is removed."
The matter is actually simple, like a magic trick; once explained, it's worth nothing.
But before it's explained, it's like an extremely difficult Olympiad math problem.
His resonant, powerful voice provoked everyone's thought; indeed, according to his description, such a procedure exists.
Although the risk is great, it is a method, a highly feasible method.
The head of General Surgery felt somewhat at a loss, having never performed such a destructive surgery…
What if something goes wrong?
He turned his gaze to the deputy director of the Medical Affairs Section.
No single department head can decide on this surgery; naturally, the hospital should bear the responsibility.
The deputy director of the Medical Affairs Section also came from a formal medical background; he entered the administration because he grew tired of night shifts.
He pondered the Intervention Department doctor's proposal and found it feasible.
As a clinical physician, after years of treating illness, an instinct has become ingrained in his bones.
As long as someone takes responsibility, giving it a try is no big deal.
The difference between a 1% chance of survival and a 50% chance is enormous.
But even with a 50% survival chance, doesn't that still mean a 50% mortality rate? This surgery's mortality rate is simply too high to accept.
He immediately picked up the phone to contact the director of the Medical Affairs Section and the executive vice president in charge of clinical work.
He reported the situation, emphasizing that this is a new technology.
After a few hours, the hospital communicated with the family and obtained their consent.
A "new" procedure began at this Second-Class Hospital in the Right Wing Middle Banner of Horqin.
The Intervention Department doctor's excited hands began to tremble.
But he quickly calmed himself, operating the microguidewire on the rudimentary equipment—super-selective, successful, angiography, embolization.
All steps were completed in one smooth flow, without the slightest hesitation.
In his mind, the surgery from the livestream had been replayed countless times.
Every step was clearly "etched" in his mind.
The only thing disappointing him was that the livestream's recording function had been canceled. Otherwise, playing the recording beforehand would let the General Surgery colleagues understand the upcoming procedure, minimizing risk.
Moreover, he himself hadn't made further preparations, such as setting up a recording function. Next time, he must definitely record the livestream surgery.
Regrettable as it may be, the surgery still had to be performed.
Of course, another regret—the interventional embolization took 1 hour 6 minutes, and his skill level lagged far behind that of the livestream operator.
But the Intervention Department doctor didn't mind this; compared to a world‑top professor, having a gap is only natural, right?
It would be strange if there were no gap.
After the embolization was completed, General Surgery took over.
They opened the abdomen, searched for the bowel, and covered it with warm saline gauze.
Under the Intervention Department doctor's continual suggestions, the surgery proceeded with great difficulty.
Half an hour later, after several changes of warm saline gauze, the bowel showed a clear demarcation.
About 40 cm of necrotic bowel was resected, anastomosed, no bleeding point found, and abdominal closure began.
The patient's vital signs were stable, and the Shou Bing was declared successful.
Even the General Surgery Department Director who completed the Shou Bing was a little surprised; having practiced medicine for several decades, he had encountered at least 100 such cases.
The vast majority of patients die quickly; even if the Shou Bing is performed under strong family demand, those who can leave the operating table and recover... are almost none.
But for this patient before him, the General Surgery Department Director can be certain: as long as there are no major problems in the ICU after the Shou Bing, this patient can be considered alive!
This...
He heard from the Intervention Department Doctor that, in the Xinglin Yuan livestream room, there is an irregularly appearing surgery livestream room, which should be the world's top medical experts from the Jianda Mengte li'er Medical Center livestreaming the Shou Bing.
He didn't know what Xinglin Yuan was. Such a professional website, not many people log in; most are concentrated in super-first-tier cities like Di Du, Modu, and Pengcheng.
As for the rest, averaged nationwide, it's already not bad for a city to have one person who consistently follows Xinglin Yuan.
In an instant, he made up his mind; after leaving the operating table, he would definitely have his junior doctors download an app for him, and he himself would also want to watch the world's top Shou Bing.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of a line of thought that can determine whether a living life lives or dies.
Jianda, no wonder it's the hometown of Bai Qiu'en Dada; they can often do such surgery live broadcasts—how high must their medical standards be?
The patient was sent back to the ICU, and the Intervention Department Doctor was still drenched in sweat.
Although his body was fatigued, his spirit was extremely excited.
The Shou Bing succeeded! This means that the Shou Bing he saw in the Xinglin Yuan livestream room is reproducible!
This means more patients can receive the corresponding treatment!
The Intervention Department Doctor felt somewhat moved; this livestream room is truly of immeasurable merit. At the very least, if the patient who just underwent the Shou Bing had not had this livestream room, he would surely have died.
Zheng Ren didn't know what had happened far away in Ke'erqin; he didn't even know where Ke'erqin specifically was.
Reading books, chatting with Xie Yiren, these constituted the main theme of the entire Afternoon.
Around three o'clock, the extension phone in the department next to him rang.
He picked up the phone; it was the Orthopedics Department calling.
