Chapter 787: Chapter 317: ‘Discussion’ on the Surgical Plan, Director You’s Enthusiastic Assistance_2
At most, it would be about inquiring, and if all else fails, reporting the matter to Dean Tian.
However, it is highly unlikely that he will go to Dean Tian with this petty plaint, for it could offend people.
The other day, he had already pressed Director Zhang once, but the effect seems not to be very good. It only forced Director Zhang to agree to take on that child’s surgery.
Afterward, Director Zhang has been dragging his feet, and Director Tang was at his wit’s end.
As Zhou Can was about to finish his meal in the cafeteria, Director Tang came over proactively.
“Dr. Zhou, I just went to Director Zhang to ask about the situation. He said the arrangements are being made. He also knows you are very concerned about that patient’s surgery and mentioned that if you are willing, you can go straight to the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery department after dinner to discuss the child’s surgical plan further.”
It was only because of Zhou Can’s influence that he personally went over to urge them.
“Alright, thank you! I’ll head over immediately!”
Zhou Can quickly finished the remaining food, washed his plate, and then placed it at the utensil return area.
After greeting Director Zhang, he quickly made his way to the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery department.
Upon arriving, he found the office of the Orthopedic Surgery department was not very large, containing only six seats, with actually one appearing to be vacant.
This means only five or six doctors were working.
In a hospital like Tuya Hospital, where departments often house hundreds of people, it’s unimaginable.
However, the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital is essentially a sub-discipline under a Level 2 discipline.
Pediatric belongs to a Level 2 discipline, and surgery also is under a Level 2 discipline, with Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery being narrower than general Orthopedic Surgery. It’s specifically limited to pediatric orthopedic areas.
It does not involve orthopedic treatments for adults.
Although there might be a lot in mon between the two in medical principles.
Zhou Can realized how poorly endowed this department was by its office size.
To put it bluntly, even the Emergency Department at Tu Ya is better than this.
This made him deeply realize that even though both are tertiary hospitals, the difference in strength can be significant.
Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital’s strongest departments are Obstetrics and Pediatric Internal Medicine, especially the Pediatric Pulmonology in Pediatric Internal Medicine, which is very formidable. As for Obstetrics, there is even less need to mention it, being their flagship service.
Knock, knock, knock!
Zhou Can stood at the door and knocked, and Director Zhang, who was engrossed in reviewing materials, looked up.
“Director Zhang, hello! I came to discuss the treatment plan for the child with the deformity of both hands.” Zhou Can entered with a smile.
Inside, three doctors were seated. Director Zhang was older, and the other two doctors were around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.
Uniquely, all three were male doctors.
Pediatrics actually suits female doctors better. Women have a natural affinity and tenderness. They have more advantages when municating with children and their actions are also gentler.
Which is definitely beneficial for children’s delicate bodies.
“Please sit, sit! It’s embarrassing that we haven’t given a surgical plan for this matter yet.”
Director Zhang’s attitude was still quite good.
He was very humble.
“This child’s surgery for correcting both hands indeed poses a very high difficulty. When devising the surgical plan, it needs to consider various aspects, taking a bit longer, which I pletely understand.”
Zhou Can gave him plenty of face.
“What step are we at now?”
His gaze glanced at the surgical book that Director Zhang was reviewing.
Looking at the pattern, it was exactly the typical treatment case for hand deformities.
However, each patient’s situation is different, and surgical planning needs flexible adjustments. It’s definitely not okay to copy directly from a book.
If the doctor’s experience is insufficient and the level is average, even a minor change can cause significant trouble for the concerned doctor.
“Um… we only have a rough surgical plan so far, nothing specific has been formulated. Dr. Zhou, do you have any good suggestions or plans?” No matter how embarrassed, Director Zhang had to ask this way.
Because he truly couldn’t handle it.
In these two days besides essential work, he was almost always researching related materials and seeking advice from others.
Unfortunately, Orthopedic Surgery is not a strong point of Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, and this particular case of congenital deformity for correction surgery is extremely challenging. Other doctors only provided him with minimal help.
They couldn’t assist with some critical issues.
“I do have some suggestions. There are multiple challenges to be resolved in this surgery, and I believe a step-by-step deposition approach would be highly feasible. For instance, the first step could involve the release of subcutaneous straps. Full-thickness skin grafts could also be used to cover skin defects, thereby improving the deformity of finger flexion…”
Zhou Can spoke confidently, offering very targeted suggestions that genuinely addressed the problems.
His suggestions, not entirely based on Orthopedic Surgery clinical experience,
also involved a lot of General Surgery theory and clinical practice.
Master Liu had passed on his lifetime of knowledge to him, greatly aiding his understanding of General Surgery and solving various tough issues.
“Subcutaneous strap release! This plan is excellent!”
Director Zhang’s eyes lit up upon hearing the first suggestion.
“Thick skin grafting is also a very practical approach! Indeed, Tuya Hospital’s reputation is well deserved; Tuya Orthopedic Surgery really has strong capabilities.”
Director Zhang naturally assumed that these sophisticated treatment plans must have been derived after Zhou Can consulted with experts from Tuya Orthopedic Surgery.
