Because blood in the human body is constantly circulating.
By relying on the heart’s pumping energy, it continuously pletes the exchange and circulation of arterial and venous blood.
Following Zhou Can’s suggestion, immediately binding the patient’s right arm at the shoulder joint is the safest measure.
However, in practice, considering the feelings of both the family and the patient, as well as the potential for medical disputes, this action is rarely implemented.
In many cases, almost all Western doctors implicitly follow a certain treatment protocol.
If the condition is unclear, then continue to observe, and rescue the patient only once the condition is clear.
This can also be considered a form of defensive medical practice.
Half an hour later, Zhou Can received a notification from Dr. Xu confirming that the patient had developed thrombosis in the right arm. Since the Emergency Department lacks the necessary facilities, the patient has been transferred to General Surgery for a second thrombectomy procedure.
The purpose of the call to Zhou Can was to ask him to lend a hand and make an introduction.
General Surgery, now divided into eight sections, has successfully pleted departmental reform and is gaining strength. Its status is also increasing.
These second surgery patients inherently carry a high risk of disputes.
Zhou Can is well-acquainted with people over there, so a quick introduction could expedite surgery arrangements for the patient, otherwise, General Surgery’s vascular and basic surgery departments might just pass the buck.
During his three years of standardized training, Zhou Can managed to foster relationships with doctors from multiple departments, including those with the rank of chief physician.
These connections prove very useful at critical moments.
Invisibly, he resembles an octopus with his humble title, having countless ties with chief doctors across various departments.
Undoubtedly, he is a miracle among lower-grade doctors.
During lunch, he received news that the thrombosis in the patient’s arm had successfully been removed via the second surgery.
After the surgery, the patient was sent back to the Emergency Department’s ward for care and continued observation.
Dr. Lu’s surgical privileges have indeed been suspended by Dr. Xu.
There’s talk of transferring Dr. Lu to another position within the Emergency Department.
Frankly speaking, this kind of person, with such poor work attitude, would be a hazard no matter which position he is moved to.
Transferring him to outpatient consultation, on one hand, he lacks the petence, on the other, his shirking of responsibilities during diagnosis is very likely to result in misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
The rescue room, ICU, inpatient ward... no position suits him.
Placing him in an administrative role in emergency management is wishful thinking.
How to deal with Dr. Lu has bee a tough problem. Director Lou and Dr. Xu still bear some collegial sentiment and are reluctant to easily expel him.
This issue was quickly resolved.
Because the Medical Department called Director Lou to inform that Dr. Lu was taken from his rented apartment by public security for criminal offenses.
A doctor mitting a criminal offense is essentially doomed.
This is mon knowledge in the industry.
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Can was somewhat surprised.
He learned about it after work through discussion in the colleagues’ group.
Originally, according to the plan, Dr. Lu and others would first be sued, then arrested in court after the trial. Now, there have been some changes.
It’s possible Zhou Can’s professional legal team feared Dr. Lu might flee, or perhaps Dr. Lu reacted poorly upon receiving the summons, or for other reasons.
It’s good to have apprehended him early.
Zhou Can’s request was to strictly punish according to the law, publicly apologize, and remove negative influence.
No demand for financial pensation, hoping for a severe sentence.
Adults, making mistakes surely es with a price to pay.
Five days later, Zhou Can received a call from the attorney, stating Dr. Lu had been sentenced to six months in prison. The two other family members distributing ads were also sentenced. Regarding the defamation issue, an apology has been published clarifying the truth.
Upon learning of this oute, Zhou Can was pleased.
Just felt the six-month sentence for Dr. Lu was a bit light.
However, it is understandable.
After all, the incident wasn’t particularly severe.
With a prison sentence, Dr. Lu’s chances for the future are virtually nonexistent. Making a eback as a doctor would be extremely difficult. No hospital would accept him.
Zhou Can did manage to vent a lot of pent-up anger.
