Chapter 388: Chapter 182: Uncovering Hidden Hazards, A Benevolent Notice_3

Zhou Can was filled with concern about this matter.

If the patient has taken Aspirin, then surgery cannot be perford.

With this dication, stopping for one week isn’t considered safe; stopping for at least two weeks would be sowhat more prudent.

Because Aspirin not only reduces inflammation and relieves pain, but also has an anti-coagulant effect.

Patients who have undergone heart stent surgery or cerebral vascular stent surgery need to take anti-coagulant dications for life. This is to prevent blood clots.

So patients, possibly worried about the negative effects of long-term dication or to save money, stop taking anti-coagulant dications after one or two years. This is a very dangerous behavior.

It’s very easy for sothing to go wrong.

During his neurosurgery residency, Zhou Can saw a cerebral infarction patient who, after stent surgery, stopped taking anti-coagulant dication on his own in the third year. It was probably less than a year later when he suddenly fell ill one evening.

By the ti he was rushed to the hospital by the ambulance, his pupils were already dilated.

However, for patients about to undergo surgery, it is imperative to inform the doctors if they are on anti-coagulant dication.

Otherwise, that would be a tragedy.

Sotis, a blood draw for a routine test might not reveal it.

Especially for those patients who do not take it regularly, but only occasionally.

That really makes it hard for doctors to guard against.

“Let’s not worry about the patients from his team. Let’s rush to get this lung cancer patient in! Otherwise, if the anesthesiologist waits too long, their face might end up looking longer than a donkey’s.”

Dr. Wu was reluctant to ddle in others’ business.

Everyone basically just took care of their own affairs.

Getting too involved sotis ans a lot of efforts for little gratitude.

Doctors who have been working a bit longer have all learned this lesson the hard way.

At that mont, Director Le rushed over with his attending physician.

“You go ahead and send the patient in; I need to remind Dr. Le. If sothing happens, it would be bad for both the patient and our departnt.”

Zhou Can, new to the hospital and with an innocent nature, still retained the rookie’s initial kindness.

Without waiting for Dr. Wu to say anything more, Zhou Can headed towards the approaching Director Le.

“Director Le, hello!”

Zhou Can took the initiative to greet.

“Is there sothing you need, Dr. Zhou?”

Director Le was quite polite to him because the patient from the last chest wall muscle suture surgery belonged to his team.

Regardless, Zhou Can had cured the patient, which was sowhat of a favor to Director Le.

“That patient in Bed 54 who just went in for the heart bypass surgery, it would be best to ask clearly before performing the surgery,” Zhou Can said.

“What’s the matter?”

The surgery was already scheduled; it couldn’t just be canceled on a whim.

Director Le would certainly want to understand the situation before making a decision.

“This morning when I made my rounds in the ward, I found the patient in Bed 54 holding his cheek, so I asked if his tooth was hurting. He told that his toothache had flared up again. It had just happened last week, and he treated it himself with dicine.”

Zhou Can recounted the events.

“Is there a problem with that?”

Director Le looked puzzled.

“There’s no issue with that, I am just worried that the patient might have taken Aspirin, which is an anti-coagulant dication. Who knows when he stopped taking it? Of course, I’m just ntioning this as a precaution, the actual arrangents are up to you to decide.”

Having said his piece, Zhou Can did not interfere any further.

He had fulfilled his duty to inform; if Director Le chose to ignore his advice, there was nothing to be done.

Zhou Can went straight into the surgery room, full of anticipation for today’s lung cancer surgery, from which he should be able to learn a lot.

The chance to take part firsthand might be slim.

Director Xue’s trust in him had not been fully established yet, but things like suturing skin and closing cavities, he was occasionally entrusted with.
