The Medical Department wields significant power.
Especially for such high-risk surgeries, they usually need to be reported to the Medical Department for approval. If the leadership doesn’t give the nod, any incident bees the doctor’s responsibility.
At the very least, the department where the doctor belongs will have to take the blame and bear the consequences.
Only if the leadership approves can the hospital take the lead in handling any issues.
This is the industry rule.
If Director Huang doesn’t agree, which doctor would dare to perform this surgery? No one would risk their career and livelihood.
"What kind of reason are you looking for?"
Zhou Can looked up at Director Huang.
Interacting with various levels of hospital leadership wasn’t new to Zhou Can, and he appeared calm. Facing Director Huang’s authority and strong presence, he was like an inconspicuous hill.
Let it be strong as it may, a breeze caressing the hill.
"Just one convincing reason will do! Just like you convinced them!"
It was clear Director Huang intentionally made things difficult for Zhou Can.
His motives were unclear for now.
The word "official" has two mouths; leaders can say what they want.
If Zhou Can wanted to save Vice Dean Lu, he must persuade Director Huang.
Even knowing the other was intentionally causing trouble, he couldn’t show any resistance.
To persuade a surgeon, he just needed to present a surgical plan and explain the patient’s cause and condition. To persuade an anesthesiologist, he just needed to ensure the patient’s safety during and after the surgery.
To persuade Director Huang, the reasons given might have to appeal both logically and emotionally.
"First of all, as fellow medical workers, I believe you, like us, very much hope for the patient’s life to be saved. Moreover, successfully saving a near-certain dead high-fall victim would greatly benefit the reputation of the Provincial People’s Hospital. It would also provide an opportunity to explore valuable treatment experience. If this isn’t enough, I’ve observed the work style of the Provincial People’s Hospital, which can be described as disciplined."
"Being able to instill such good conduct in clinical staff, I’m sure you have a deep medical ethos, a calm mind, and a selfless attitude, driven by great passion and determination to alleviate the suffering of all. I shamelessly self-praise and also harbor a medical aspiration, aligned with yours. Those who share the same goals are never far apart. I’ve e from another hospital, and you have no reason not to help save the patient together."
Zhou Can’s words made Director Huang nod in agreement.
"The young doctor from Tuya Hospital is quite adept at stirring emotions! Since you’ve all decided, let’s save the patient quickly! I’ll handle the approval procedures, arrange the operating room schedules, and leave the rest to you."
Director Huang showed a slight smile, like the sun emerging from behind the clouds.
Everyone smiled.
At this moment, they had a mon goal: to save the patient.
Lu Fen quietly wiped away tears of excitement.
Unless experienced personally, one can’t prehend how much effort Zhou Can put in to save her father.
Her gratitude toward Zhou Can was deeply hidden in her heart.
And her trust in Zhou Can grew even stronger.
Someone her father trusted with his life was worth her trust.
Now, seeing Zhou Can tirelessly working to save her father, her trust in him naturally deepened.
...
In the endoscopy operating room, anesthesiologist Ming Xin personally led the team to ensure the success of this surgery.
She had three young doctors under her, all performing excellently.
Being allowed to personally lead such an important surgery, they were undoubtedly key mentees. A chief doctor may mentor many students in a lifetime, but true successors are quite limited.
Rarely more than five.
Because grooming a successor takes a long time and significant effort.
It’s not something acplished by mere pointers during a surgery.
Zhou Can watched this group clumsily attaching life-monitoring probes to Deputy Director Lu, then adjusting ventilator parameters one by one. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency.
But he didn’t intend to step in and help.
Being allowed to participate as a guest in this surgery was already a great privilege.
If he were to grab the spotlight further, it would seem like showing off.
Since the patient was transferred from the ICU, many pre-anesthesia tasks didn’t need additional handling. Pre-surgical tasks like skin preparation were also unnecessary.
Once ready, directly proceed with inhalation general anesthesia.
Performing laparoscopic surgery on the patient was Director Gou Qiong from Thoracic Surgery. He led his team to participate together.
Judging by their technique of creating small incisions in the abdomen, it was simple, efficient, and professional.
As expected of a top tertiary hospital.
Their surgical skills were indeed impressive. Director Gou Qiong and his medical assistants were just the tip of the iceberg of the Provincial People’s Hospital’s capabilities.
Typically, cardiothoracic surgery is more sophisticated and advanced.
There’s no need to mention cerebrovascular surgery or neurosurgery.
Thoracic surgery’s difficulty level is similar to several sub-departments of General Surgery.
Director Gou Qiong, along with another assistant doctor over forty, performed the laparoscopic surgery. The first step was repairing the ruptured spleen.
Neurosurgery’s Director Wu Yongming and Intensive Care Medicine Department’s Director Xiang were observing the screen from the side.
Director Xiang Fei, sensing the opportunity, also brought two of his favorite students along.
Neurosurgery’s Director Wu Yongming brought in his entire surgical team, similar to Director Gou Qiong.
