Chapter 157 40% Success Rate of Surgery

Su Nuannuan then came to Zhang Lingze's side and spoke up.

"Teacher, what are the chances of this patient's surgery being successful?"

Zhang Ling sighed and said.

"Four percent."

Su Nuannuan was startled. She hadn't expected the chances of success to be so low.

She looked at Zhang Lingze with some confusion.

"Teacher, since the success rate is so low, why not use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the body internally?"

Su Nuannuan knew a little about tumors. Some patients opted for conservative treatment, which involved drinking traditional Chinese medicine to inhibit tumor growth. In her previous life, diseases that Western medicine couldn't cure were basically referred to traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhang Ling shook his head and said.

"It's too late. If the tumor cells hadn't spread, conservative treatment could have been used. But now, the rate at which the tumor cells have spread has already endangered the patient's life and health, and an immediate meningioma resection surgery is needed."

Upon hearing Zhang Lingze's words, Su Nuannuan understood.

Sun Hongbao faced a situation where he had to undergo surgery, even though the success rate was only forty percent.

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan understood immediately. Sun Hongbao was now practically standing at the gates of hell; the surgery the day after tomorrow would determine whether he could be saved.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan said with some concern.

"Teacher, the surgery only has a 40% chance of success, why did you still take it on?"

Su Nuannuan really didn't understand. In situations like this, the patient could easily die on the operating table. Some doctors, when faced with such patients, would avoid them or delay treatment if possible.

If the person dies, the patient's family will definitely not be able to accept it.

At this point, a medical dispute is inevitable, and in severe cases, it can cause trouble for the attending physician.

Su Nuannuan's words were actually a reminder to Zhang Lingze to consider the consequences carefully and act cautiously.

Zhang Ling understood the meaning behind Su Nuannuan's words. He did not answer, but looked at Su Nuannuan and said.

"A doctor's greatest responsibility is to treat and save lives. When you step onto the operating table, the patient's life or death is in your hands. Your task is to help the patient. If you ultimately cannot save the patient, you can still have a clear conscience."

Looking at Zhang Lingze's tall figure, Su Nuannuan felt for a moment that he was truly great.

Zhang Lingze's words made it clear that he knew the consequences, but he would still save Sun Hongbao.

This was the first time Su Nuannuan had witnessed selflessness in a doctor. Su Nuannuan felt a momentary tremor in her heart.

She admired Zhang Lingze.

After finishing his rounds in the morning, Zhang Lingze showed Su Nuannuan some basic surgical instruments and procedures.

Although this era is more than fifty years removed from her previous life, the basic surgical procedures and instruments have not changed much. It's just that some of the more advanced equipment is not yet available.

The First People's Hospital of Beijing is a bit better than other hospitals; it has an X-ray scanner. With this machine, the approximate location of the tumor can be observed.

Although it's not as high-end as the instruments from the previous generation, it's already the most advanced equipment in the country.

With the surgeon being Zhang Lingze, a leading expert in the field, Sun Hongbao's chances of recovery increased even further.

At noon, Zhang Lingze took Su Nuannuan to the hospital cafeteria for lunch.

The hospital cafeteria is open all day.

Zhang Lingze was treating, and Su Nuannuan didn't stand on ceremony, ordering a stir-fried winter melon with shredded pork and white rice.

In the cafeteria, many doctors and nurses who had finished their shifts had already arrived. They all recognized Zhang Lingze, and saw him bringing Su Nuannuan to eat, so they weren't surprised at all. Just then, a sprightly old man walked towards them. Although his face was kind and he seemed very approachable, his sharp eyes told Su Nuannuan that this old man was no ordinary person.

As the old man approached, he smiled at Zhang Lingze.

"Old Zhang, you've brought students here to study again?"

Zhang Lingze smiled and nodded, greeting the other party.

"I'm also cultivating talent for our country. Let me introduce you, this is my student—Su Nuannuan."

Then, he said to Su Nuannuan.

“Nuan Nuan, this is the president of Beijing First People’s Hospital. Many of your senior classmates work here.”

Upon hearing Er Zhanglingze's words, Su Nuannuan immediately stood up straight and said.

"Hello, Dean."

The dean looked very kind and spoke gently to Su Nuannuan.

"Hello, young man. If you graduate, you can come and work at our hospital."

Su Nuannuan nodded happily on the surface, but in her heart she was frantically waving her hands.

She didn't want to stay in Beijing after graduation. Beijing would be the eye of the storm then; anyone who stayed would be doomed.

Su Nuannuan knew that she had no background or connections, and if she were to be taken advantage of, she would have no one to seek justice for her.

The dean's words were not just polite talk; he actually hoped that Su Nuannuan could stay at the First People's Hospital of Beijing after graduation.

It wasn't that he had a particularly good impression of Su Nuannuan, but rather that he trusted his old friend's judgment.

Since Zhang Lingze took up his post at Beijing University, he has trained many outstanding clinicians. Some of them have already achieved considerable status in the medical field.

Therefore, the dean had great faith in Zhang Lingze's judgment.

Moreover, based on his understanding of his old friend, once he decides to mentor a student, he will do his best to do so and will never let that person's talent be buried.

Now, some of Zhang Lingze's first batch of students have taken over his classes and become doctors at the Second Hospital of the Central Theater Command; some have developed various patented technologies and made a name for themselves internationally; and others have served as chief physicians at major regional central hospitals.

Zhang Lingze's battle record is verifiable. This is why the dean treats Su Nuannuan so well.

After saying goodbye to the dean, Zhang Lingze looked at Su Nuannuan and said...

"You don't want to stay at Beijing First People's Hospital?"

Su Nuannuan was surprised that Zhang Lingze had seen through her thoughts and looked at him in astonishment.

Now that she had spoken out, Su Nuannuan saw no need to hide her true feelings and said to Zhang Lingze.

"Yes, teacher. After I graduate, I want to go back to my hometown to develop my career."

She wanted to stay in Beijing too. But she didn't dare! Su Nuannuan felt it was better to stay in Heilongjiang Province and develop her career there. Even if she caused trouble, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

At that time, college graduates were in short supply. When assigning jobs after graduation, in addition to complying with national requirements, schools would also consider the students' opinions.

Especially for outstanding students, if they wish, they can directly apply to stay and work in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

In Zhang Lingze's view, if Su Nuannuan maintains this enthusiasm for learning for the next five years, she can be directly assigned to work in Beijing after graduation.

However, Zhang Ling had no objection to Su Nuannuan wanting to return to her hometown.

I just thought it was because the girl was young and a little homesick.
