Capítulo 1207: Chapter 477: dical Ethics, Truly a Pneumothorax

“You ntioned doing another larger surgery, how extensive would it be?”

Director Xue Yan greatly valued Zhou Can’s opinion.

In terms of surgical approach, Zhou Can’s capabilities in this area seed even more extraordinary than his pathological diagnoses. Especially as his surgical experience beca more extensive, given his broad knowledge and the essence he gathered from multiple chief surgeons in both dicine and surgery, Dr. Xu frequently praised him when it ca to devising surgical plans.

Most geniuses in the world are 30% talent, 60% sweat and effort, and 10% opportunity, which ultimately makes them stand out.

“It might require a full sternectomy! Specifically, it probably needs to be tailored according to the patient’s current condition.”

Zhou Can had visited the patient once in the ward, but was driven out by the patient’s daughter.

“Let’s go, while you’re here, I’ll accompany you to the ward. Let’s try to finalize the surgical plan today.” She knew Zhou Can was extrely busy, with endless tasks every day.

The difficult cases in Cardiothoracic Surgery often relied on Zhou Can for resolution.

The two returned to the ward.

The patient’s daughter, upon seeing Director Xue Yan entering the ward, imdiately put on a flattering smile.

“Hello, Director Xue! It’s really touching that you ca to see my father so late.”

“Your father’s condition is rapidly progressing, and the infection worsening could easily lead to unpredictable dangers. The sooner it is resolved, the better. That’s why, when Dr. Zhou ca, I quickly brought him here for a consultation so we can strive to have a solution ready today.”

Director Xue Yan responded with a smile.

She also made sure to emphasize Zhou Can’s significance.

“Ah… he, he…”

The patient’s daughter covered her mouth, looking at Zhou Can in astonishnt. She regretted her previous actions deeply.

From Director Xue Yan’s remarks, it beca clear that treating her father depended on Zhou Can.

If she had known this young doctor was so capable, she wouldn’t have treated him like that no matter what.

“Don’t be misled by Dr. Zhou’s youth; his dical skills are extrely well-known in the hospital! Your father’s condition is very complex and extrely challenging to treat. Dr. Zhou has extensive experience in treating such difficult cases, and we must ask him for much assistance this ti!”

Director Xue Yan spared no effort in raising Zhou Can’s profile in front of the patient and family.

However, she was not exaggerating; Zhou Can indeed was this outstanding.

“Um… Dr. Zhou, please take good care!”

The patient’s daughter ultimately did not speak words of apology. However, her expression, eyes, and tone were filled with an apology and a desire to please Zhou Can.

So family mbers are very concerned about saving face. Even when knowing they’re wrong, they won’t admit it and stubbornly refuse to concede.

This female family mber was already better than most.

Zhou Can didn’t bother to argue with her and began conducting an in-depth preoperative examination of the patient to determine the surgical plan.

This ti, he could noticeably feel the patient actively cooperating, with the family mber assistively engaging, answering each question asked.

The attitude was completely different from before.

“Sister Yan, I’ve finished checking.”

Zhou Can ticulously went through all necessary inquiries and understanding.

This included the scope of the patient’s previous surgery, the postoperative imaging, and even perford so necessary palpation on the patient’s wound areas.

During his first entrance into the ward, he only asked the first question, and the family mber’s attitude was already extrely unfriendly.

He dared not perform any painful palpation on the patient at that ti.

Family mbers throwing a fit was sothing he didn’t fear.

But there was no need to create unnecessary trouble.

Realistically speaking, if the family and patient aren’t cooperative, there’s no need to treatnt for them.

They could find another expert.

“Please join us in the office to discuss the surgical plan!” Director Xue Yan turned and said to the family mber.

“Alright!”

The patient’s daughter couldn’t help but gain even more respect for Zhou Can.

Even a fool would understand now that Zhou Can was the key doctor in treating her father. Even Director Xue seed to be just a supporting role.

In Director Xue’s office, Zhou Can and Director Xue Yan discussed the patient’s surgical plan with the family mber listening in.

She may have considered the urgency of ti and simply called the family mber over to listen in directly, saving the need for separate pre-surgical talks.

After so discussion, Zhou Can and Xue Yan basically finalized the surgical plan.

“Zhou Can, please convey the surgical plan to the family.”

Director Xue Yan felt that, since the surgical approach was primarily devised by Zhou Can, it would be better for him to speak with the family directly.

This way, addressing the family’s questions could be more precise and swift.

This is also why, for major surgeries, it’s not the subordinate doctors but the chief surgeon who speaks with the family.

“Since your father’s sternum has developed osteomyelitis and the incision has a severe infection, it’s necessary to remove the artificial material and entirely excise the sternum. Our sternum serves as a crucial stabilizing support; its full removal will result in thoracic instability. To minimize the impact on your father’s life post-surgery and ensure his safety, we plan to use his ribs to reconstruct the chest wall.”

He briefly explained the surgical plan.

“Is my father’s wound difficult to heal because of the use of artificial material?”

The family mber asked.

“That’s part of the reason.”

Zhou Can’s response was sowhat flexible.

“Did my father’s postoperative infection and the lack of improvent happen because the previous hospital didn’t perform the surgery well?”
