Chapter 1021: 【1021】The Chief Surgeon began to take her words seriously
The information connected to the live communication event has been relayed back to the operating room.
The doctors and nurses on-site felt the tension. It was like they were going on stage to perform, and the audience consisted of their peers who understood exactly what procedures they were performing. It was as if they might beco transparent figures on stage.
This isn’t a performance; it’s a test, a competition on stage.
“Are you all prepared?” After receiving the ssage that the signal was connected, Section Chief Yang hurriedly inspected the operating rooms.
The cara operator gave Section Chief Yang an OK gesture, confirming that the cara equipnt and communication were fine; everything else depended on the situation during the surgery.
“Stay here.” As Section Chief Yang moved back and forth between the three operating rooms, he instructed the head of the cara team, “Sotis when the visuals aren’t good, rember to switch.”
The visuals aren’t good? The caraman scratched his head. They were filming the surgical area, where bodies were opened and guts spilled, all bloody scenes. None of the visuals were pleasant. Laypeople found them horrific, unclear why doctors would enjoy watching these.
“Follow my command,” Section Chief Yang decided. He could only personally take on the role of the chief director.
In the three operating rooms, due to the tight schedule of the lecture, one of the surgeries had already begun according to the original plan. Director Tang was monitoring on-site. Tao Zhijie returned to his team as chief surgeon, so Director Tang didn’t need to watch over his group.
With Director Tang in charge, Section Chief Yang walked back to the third operating room where Tao Zhijie was. This was the slowest surgery to start and was a key demonstration in the plan, requiring special attention.
“Dr. Tao, Doctor Fu,” Section Chief Yang called out to the chief surgeons, but no one responded.
Aside from the nurse preparing the surgical instrunts, Anesthesiologist Zhang Tinghai wasn’t at the head of the operating table, and a group of doctors were all gathered around the light panel.
CT scans, X-ray images, echocardiogram reports, a series of diagnostic reports were laid out again in front of the doctors.
Unaware that Teacher Lu had visited this morning, Section Chief Yang, puzzled by the situation, walked over to observe the group of doctors.
The surgery was about to start when suddenly the surgical team seed to be discussing the patient’s condition anew, inevitably raising concerns about what might be wrong.
He Guangyou turned to Xie Wanying and asked, “Why did you suddenly ntion TEE? Was it to appease Teacher Lu?”
As a senior, he knew she wouldn’t speak without thinking. Xie Wanying replied, “I discussed the TEE procedure with Doctor Song. Yesterday afternoon, the teachers from our departnt and thoracic departnt had a eting. I wasn’t present, so I’m not quite clear about the specifics discussed in the eting.”
Earlier, she intended to review the pre-surgical discussion records but Teacher Lu’s interruption kept her from seeing them.
Prompted by his senior’s question, it seed Doctor Song hadn’t ntioned this during the eting.
“I’ve never heard you ntion this before,” He Guangyou criticized her previous silence.
The thinking process for doctors is complex, not straightforward. Like computing results, step by step calculation is necessary. The idea of conducting this examination suddenly ca to her the evening before last. Consequently, she texted Song Xueling last minute because she had to attend a conference and couldn’t discuss it in person with her teachers.
Actually, the primary objective of conducting this examination was to add another layer of diagnostic procedures beyond the TTE to assess if there were any issues with the patient’s heart structure and hemodynamics. Specifically for Yangyang’s Mom, as she explained to Teacher Lu, the significance of monitoring during the surgery was even greater.
