Chapter 2734 Liu Ziyi Gets into Trouble Again

"Hmm?" Qi Liang blinked, then inexplicably became excited. "Director Qin means that the surgeons will open the chest cavity first, and then the cardiologists will perform the interventional procedure?"

"Correct!"

"This... our Jianghai City First People's Hospital has no precedent for this!"

Everyone could tell that Qi Liang probably wasn't confident, but that didn't mean the method was unworkable!

"Director Qin, could you explain again?" Zhao Guangming is a pediatrician. Although he opposed the surgery earlier, it was after careful consideration. After all, he had seen too much of the world and could only be realistic.

But he wanted his patients to live more than anyone else!

"Inlay surgery, mainly speaking, is a type of complex surgery that involves multiple departments. I'll make a small incision to open the patient's chest cavity!" Qin Wenbin gestured with a piece of fruit on the table. "Then, we need to place the purse on the surface of the patient's heart!"

"Then the cardiology department will perform the puncture and intervention through the purse, which avoids the need to enter through the skin, shortening the path and ensuring a higher success rate!"

Everyone present held at least a senior professional title, and it was easy to understand that they had undergone surgery. Dr. Zhang Tong, the director of the respiratory medicine department, seemed thoughtful. "This will severely test the coordination between the two departments, and also require top-notch expertise in ultrasound, anesthesia, and even the nurses!"

Just as everyone was beaming with joy, Liu Ziyi poured cold water on their happiness.

"But can Director Qin guarantee that the patient's brain will not continue to atrophy while the heart surgery is being performed?"

What can you guarantee?
To put it bluntly, Qin Wenbin is in charge of the heart; the brain is not even within his scope of concern. Otherwise, what are you doing, Liu Ziyi?

This is why no one wants to cooperate with her. It can be said that because of her personality, Liu Ziyi has offended almost every department in the hospital.

During every consultation, she insists on taking the initiative, regardless of the circumstances; all rules seem like nonsense to her.

If both the brain and heart are affected at the same time, the rule should be to save the heart first. But they don't care about that and only care about the nerves. If the other parts don't work, it's because the doctor is bad. If the surgery is successful, it's because you cooperated well!

Where does this make sense?

"Director Liu, stop making sarcastic remarks. What good ideas do you have?"

"I... of course I do. I can use surgery to divert cerebrospinal fluid to ensure that the blood vessels in the brain are depressurized to a certain extent!"

As soon as Liu Ziyi said this, without Qin Wenbin needing to refute it, pediatrician Zhao Guangming immediately voiced his objection.

"I still disagree!"

"You're joking with the patient's family's money. This is a two-year-old child with complications like pneumonia, and he's already had countless surgeries. You're making him go on the operating table one after another for heart and brain surgery. Even an adult couldn't handle that!"

"The success rate is less than one in ten thousand!"

My advice is to persuade the family to give up!

This is a rational choice, because the only way to succeed in surgery is to pray for a miracle, but if it fails, the person will die and the money will be gone, which would be adding insult to injury to this already suffering family.

After all, even from a humanitarian perspective, heart surgery, brain surgery, and lung surgery are too much for an adult to handle, let alone a 2-year-old child.

Moreover, the total cost would probably be several hundred thousand yuan, as the consumables for interventional cardiology are very expensive!
"What do you mean, directors?"

“I…maybe I should give up too. This situation is a double torment for both the patient and the family. Pneumonia alone is life-threatening for a child, let alone all the other illnesses!”

"Director Qin, what do you think?" Qi Liang respected Qin Wenbin a lot, not expecting that an expert in cardiac surgery would also know so much about cardiology.

"Let the family decide. Director Zhao, I'm entrusting this matter to you. Today, you must clearly explain the pros and cons to the patient's family. If it were just a heart problem, we could still try to succeed with this surgery, but now the brain and lungs are all affected, so the success rate is extremely low!"

Qin Wenbin has absolute confidence in the field of cardiology, but as Zhao Guangming, the director of pediatrics, said, if you let a 2-year-old child undergo three major surgeries in succession, even if God suddenly opens his eyes, the success rate is only one in ten thousand.

But what about the future?

They probably won't even live to adulthood!
The saying "a long pain is not as good as a short pain" sounds a bit hard to accept.

But that's reality! Children grow up day by day. When they're constantly on their deathbeds, seeing other children running, jumping, and playing while they can only take a few steps in a corner and are already out of breath, the whole family will live in the shadows.

Moreover, even if one wanted to achieve such a life, there was only a one in ten thousand chance of success. TV dramas always have this kind of plot, and in the end, through the protagonist's unremitting efforts, the patient is always able to turn the tide.

But that's reality; there aren't that many miracles!
Doctors not only have to consider treating and saving lives, but also the health of those who are alive and well, even if you don't want to do it, there's nothing you can do about it.

"Well, that's the only way!" Zhao Guangming nodded helplessly.
As a female doctor, Zhang Tong felt somewhat uncomfortable. She stood up and said, "In that case, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"

"I'm leaving too, Director Qin. I have an outpatient appointment later!" Qi Liang said goodbye to Qin Wenbin.

Liu Ziyi, who had just added the patient's family on WeChat and had been chatting on her phone, suddenly stood up and blocked the doorway when she saw this situation.

"You... just ended it like that?"

"The patient is lying there in critical condition, and instead of doing something, we doctors start shirking responsibility after just a few words. Shouldn't we be doing everything we can to save his life?"

"Director Liu, never mind. Director Qin, I'm leaving now. I have two surgeries scheduled over there!" Director Zhang from the respiratory department didn't want to argue either.

But Zhao Guangming, a pediatrician, wasn't having any of this attitude; his disgust was clearly visible on his face. "Get out of the way!"

"The consultation is over, Director Liu, you should return to your seat!"

This sentence simply means "get lost".

……

Two days later.

Qin Wenbin was taking a walk in the park with his wife, who was four months pregnant, when he suddenly received another call from the hospital.

"Hello, Director Zhao!" The caller was Zhao Guangming, a pediatrician at the hospital.

"Director Qin, something terrible has happened!"

"Something happened? What happened?!"

"I had already explained the pros and cons to the patient's family, and the child's parents, after careful consideration, also decided to give up!"

"But Liu Ziyi, I don't know if she's gone crazy or what, after learning about this, she insisted on persuading the patient's family to accept the surgery. Now the family members have all been persuaded by her and are blocking the door of my office, strongly demanding the surgery!"

You could feel Zhao Guangming's anger even over the phone.

"This... I can't control it either!" As the saying goes, "Better to die for your friend than for yourself," Qin Wenbin really didn't like to get involved in this mess, even though the hospital had been dragging its feet on going through the proper procedures.

But you've already resigned, so why are you calling me now?

"Wenbin, the key is that Director Liu explained the surgical plan you mentioned to the family in great detail. Now the family is ready to proceed with the combined incision and scalpel surgery!"

"What?" Qin Wenbin frowned. "Does she have nothing better to do?"

"What's wrong, husband?"

"Don't even mention it, I can't go to the park, I have to go back to the hospital!"

"Why are we going back again?" Jiang Han was a little unhappy.

Qin Wenbin said irritably, "What else could it be? We ran into a complete idiot!"

Let me take you home first!
