In the Ergency Departnt director’s office, Huo Yun had just finished reviewing a patient’s case file and was preparing to create a surgical plan when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID. To his surprise, it was from Dean Tang Long.
Huo Yun answered imdiately.
On the other end of the line, Dean Tang spoke with the utmost courtesy:
"Director Huo, here’s the situation. My cousin was brought to our hospital’s ergency departnt for acute appendicitis. He’s always been a proud man who doesn’t like to trouble others, so I didn’t even know he was sick and hospitalized. I only found out about the situation when my sister-in-law called today."
"I know it’s just a minor surgery for appendicitis, but I’d appreciate it if you could keep an eye on him. Please don’t let him know I called. Just be sure to personally oversee his care for ."
Hearing Dean Tang’s words, Huo Yun imdiately agreed. As the influential vice dean of City First Hospital, Dean Tang was responsible for the scheduling, coordination, and managent of the hospital’s important affairs.
He oversaw the hospital’s finances, accounting, statistics, logistics, infrastructure, security, and discipline; in short, he held imnse power within the hospital.
Many of the Ergency Departnt’s initiatives also required Dean Tang’s support and approval, so a dical issue concerning his relative was no small matter.
The mont he hung up the phone, Huo Yun went to find Jiang Ming.
’Thankfully, it’s just an appendectomy. It shouldn’t be a big problem.’ He had a great deal of confidence in Jiang Ming.
A short while later, Jiang Ming arrived at the office. He was quite surprised after hearing what Huo Yun had to say.
"Director Huo, are you saying the patient in bed 5, the one Song Qi is handling, is Dean Tang’s cousin? And the dean personally asked about him?"
Seeing Jiang Ming’s reaction, Huo Yun confird with a serious expression:
"That’s right. Qian Xiong is Dean Tang’s cousin. It’s just that Qian Xiong is a low-key person and didn’t want to bother the dean, which is why he didn’t ntion it. But just because they aren’t asking for special treatnt doesn’t an we can afford to be anything less than ticulous."
"For this surgery, don’t have Song Qi do it. You’ll be the chief surgeon, and you’ll personally handle all the follow-up care. That’s the only way I’ll feel at ease."
Huo Yun held Jiang Ming in high regard. Another reason was Jiang Ming’s special status; having him personally perform the surgery would show Dean Tang the Ergency Departnt’s sincerity and how seriously they were taking the matter.
Jiang Ming agreed with Huo Yun’s arrangent, but what gave him a headache was that they didn’t have a confird diagnosis yet.
Jiang Ming thought for a mont before deciding to explain the situation clearly:
"Director Huo, to be honest with you, Qian Xiong’s case is a bit tricky. He was indeed admitted for acute appendicitis, and we were preparing for surgery. However, sothing ca up. Based on the latest round of tests, it might be a rare type of acute abdon."
"We’re waiting for the results of the abdominal paracentesis that Dr. Song is performing."
Hearing Jiang Ming say they still didn’t have a diagnosis, Huo Yun’s expression grew grim.
’Dean Tang just called, and we haven’t even confird Qian Xiong’s condition, let alone started the surgery.’
’This makes our departnt look incompetent.’
"We’ve done all the necessary tests, but the results are inconclusive. There’s no guarantee the paracentesis will yield a result either. If all else fails, our only option is to perform an exploratory laparotomy and confirm the diagnosis intraoperatively."
How could Huo Yun possibly remain seated after hearing Jiang Ming’s answer?
"No, that’s not acceptable. We must confirm the patient’s diagnosis before Dean Tang asks for an update."
"Tell Song Qi to speed up the tests."
"How about this: once the results are out, we’ll hold a consultation. I’ll go invite Director Zheng Duqing, the senior expert on acute abdon from General Surgery."
Jiang Ming was happy to hear that Director Huo was planning a consultation. He thought for a mont and added:
"Director Huo, I’ll arrange a multi-departntal consultation right away. As it happens, Wu Ting also had so ideas and was planning to invite experts from Orthopedics and the National dical Departnt for a consultation. We can just combine them."
"The National dical Departnt and Orthopedics?"
Huo Yun was a bit confused. ’Why would you bring in Orthopedics and the National dical Departnt for an acute abdon case?’
Jiang Ming blushed slightly.
"Dr. Wu has a completely different opinion from Dr. Song and . He doesn’t think it’s an acute abdon; his preliminary diagnosis is a lumbar disc herniation. And his proposed treatnt plan only involves traction, acupuncture, and massage."
"I was originally keeping his idea as a backup plan. If Dr. Song still couldn’t find the cause, we would try Wu Ting’s approach."
Huo Yun chuckled. "That kid... he certainly thinks outside the box. Alright, let’s hold a eting together. Having another perspective is always a good thing."
Jiang Ming imdiately called Song Qi, inford him of the patient’s situation, and urged him to get the results as quickly as possible. They absolutely had to have a treatnt plan ready by the ti Dean Tang inquired again.
Just two days after the Ergency Departnt treated the mass casualty incident, the dical staff had already settled back into their daily routine. Most of the injured had been transferred and triaged to general wards.
