Capítulo 1344: Chapter 532: Another Difficult Family mber—Control the Infection Before Surgery

“Can we do a vascular stent for this? The experts at the Provincial People’s Hospital ca to the sa diagnosis as you, they all said it was Chronic arterial ischemia. I checked the treatnt options for this disease on so very professional dical websites. If it’s caused by vascular stenosis or occlusion leading to poor blood flow, you can do a very small minimally invasive procedure and put a stent in the vessel to open it up.”

When the old cadre’s daughter-in-law said this, Zhou Can finally understood why the Provincial People’s Hospital refused to operate on the patient.

Even Zhou Can felt disgusted being told by the family how to treat the illness. As for the experts at the Provincial People’s Hospital, which one of them isn’t a big na in the dical field? And now they were being bossed around by a family mber who thought she knew a lot just because she’d looked up so information online.

The experts, out of concern for this woman’s status, couldn’t very well refute her to her face.

The best approach was to just handle it in a soft, non‑confrontational way.

So they continued using the sa treatnt regin the previous hospital had already tried and proven ineffective, and kept “treating” the old cadre with it.

The old cadre saw this and thought, oh, so this is all the Provincial People’s Hospital experts can do? Turns out they’re no different from the doctors at a prefecture‑level city hospital! Still the sa anti‑infection therapy—how can that possibly work?

As long as the old cadre wasn’t stupid, he was guaranteed to obediently switch hospitals to seek treatnt elsewhere.

If the experts at the Provincial People’s Hospital then added, in a rather serious tone, “We’re not too sure about your condition either, we might need to try an amputation first.”

That would scare the old cadre into demanding a transfer overnight, guaranteed.

Sotis, when patients and their families think a certain expert’s skills are poor, maybe that doctor isn’t actually incompetent at all, but is deliberately “lying flat,” just to make you think he’s incompetent.

“In this kind of situation, it’s relatively rare to place a stent. I’d suggest we first do a vascular angiography. Since your father‑in‑law is already quite old and has no history of smoking, we can consider the possibility of arteriosclerotic occlusion.”

Zhou Can gave the woman a faint glance and patiently explained.

Unlike myocardial infarction, for this kind of limb Chronic arterial ischemia, it’s rarely caused by a big plaque growing inside the vessel and blocking it all at once.

It’s more likely that atherosclerosis gradually narrows the vascular endothelium until it ends up completely blocked.

“We agree to do the angiography. If we find a problem, we still hope to avoid any major surgery as much as possible and instead use the treatnt plan suggested by the experts we consulted online—solve it with a minimally invasive interventional procedure and stent placent.”

The woman was quite stubborn.

In clinical practice, you often run into family mbers or patients like this. They only believe acquaintances, online ‘experts,’ and whatever cos up on Baidu searches. They refuse to trust the doctor actually treating them.

What’s worse, if the attending physician tells them not to trust what’s online and to follow his treatnt plan instead, the family not only won’t listen, they’ll think the doctor is trying to scam their money.

When you encounter family mbers and patients like this, the only thing to do is let them go find that acquaintance to treat them.

Zhou Can stood up and glanced at Director Xue Yan.

The latter blinked at him and gave a subtle, bitter smile.

If it weren’t in front of the family and the patient, she’d probably have shrugged helplessly.

“You two can think it over. If you agree, we can start with a vascular angiography. The patient’s condition is progressing every day—the earlier the treatnt, the better the benefit. If you drag this out too long, amputation will likely be the final option.”

That was as far as Zhou Can could go.

If the family and patient still refused to listen, there was nothing more he could do.

A doctor can only offer the treatnt plan he believes is most beneficial to the patient. As for the final decision, that can only be left to the patient.

“Dr. Zhou is absolutely right. I really can’t afford to delay this illness any longer. I’ll listen to you, I’m willing to follow your lead. Can we arrange the angiography now? Don’t worry about the cost—as long as you can cure , I don’t care how much money I spend.”

The old cadre, after all, was a man seasoned in officialdom, rich in experience.

He had already sensed sothing from the expressions on Zhou Can’s and Director Xue Yan’s faces. As soon as he heard that delaying it could an amputation—exactly the sa wording as the experts at the Provincial People’s Hospital—

his heart was filled with fear.

When a man talks too big, he must be scheming; when a woman talks too big, she brings calamity.

This daughter‑in‑law was indeed filial, but just a bit too overbearing.

Insisting that the hospital treat him according to her demands—it was perfectly normal for the doctors to be turned off by that.

If what they’d run into at the Provincial People’s Hospital was a little bizarre,

then now that they’d co to Tuya Hospital, if they couldn’t change so of their ideas themselves, they were very likely to run into another batch of “quacks.”

“Dad, don’t worry. A doctor friend of mine told , doctors all like to exaggerate the severity of the condition. If they cure you, it’s a huge achievent. If they don’t, then it’s because your illness was too serious and the doctor already did his best.”

The woman leaned over to the old cadre’s ear and whispered.

“Just listen to and let us discuss the treatnt plan with the doctors.”

She put on the look of a considerate daughter‑in‑law who feared her elderly father‑in‑law didn’t understand how sinister society is and might easily be duped.

But after hearing her, the old cadre lifted his head and said to Zhou Can and Director Xue Yan, “It’s fine. Please arrange it for as soon as possible, the sooner the better.” After speaking, he turned to look at his son and daughter‑in‑law.

“It’s getting late. You two should head back. There’s a care worker here anyway. When it’s ti to sign for the surgery, I’ll call you.”

“Ah Fen, let’s go back first.”

The old cadre’s son said to his wife.

“Dad, once the test results are out, you must tell us right away! When it cos ti to decide on the surgical plan, wait for us to co.”
