Chapter 430: Facing Death, the Third Hospital Becomes Big
She opened her beautiful and charming eyes wide, stared straight into Zhou Can's eyes, and raised her face to question.
"So do you have time to message me?"
"Well……"
Zhou Can was suddenly speechless.
It was indeed Zhou Can who took the initiative to find her to help the poor girl.
It feels like someone has taken everything and then refuses to take responsibility.
"In order to help the poor girl solve her problem, I have mobilized many resources. I may have to accompany the girl back to her hometown in a few days. It is difficult to ask for the death compensation for her father, but it is also very dangerous. Lao Qin is just a photographer, and he is no match for those mountain people. Do you think you can go with me?"
Mu Ming looked at him and asked.
"No, I don't have time."
Zhou Can refused directly.
What a joke, he is just a doctor, not a savior.
You can only help that girl within your ability.
Asking him to take leave and accompany her back to the girl's hometown to ask for the death pension of the girl's father was a pity that Mu Ming dared to think about it.
"I knew you wouldn't agree. Then just cooperate with me in the interview."
But she was asking for a high price and then paying the low price.
"Whatever you want to ask, just sort it out and I'll spare some time to answer it for you later."
Zhou Can secretly guessed that the hospital publicity department might have reached some kind of consensus with her.
The hospital wanted to use her power to help report the difficult case treated in the emergency department, so as to achieve publicity purposes. Mu Ming gained traffic and published high-quality press releases.
It is a win-win situation for both parties.
As for Mu Ming helping the disadvantaged girl, it was out of kindness and also out of consideration for Zhou Can.
So, no matter what, Zhou Can owed her a favor.
Zhou Can was very clear about this.
"Hey, can you have some conscience? They have made great efforts to help that girl, and it's all because of you. Also, I have been taking Lao Qin to the ward whenever I have time these days to help you promote the brand. But you have such a businesslike and cold face, don't you think it's too much?"
She looked so aggrieved, and I felt worried and pity for her.
Zhou Can is not afraid of tough fights, difficult family members, or thugs who pull out knives when they disagree with him. He is only afraid of girls' tears and soft words.
"I'd like to invite you and Lao Qin to dinner. It can only be dinner. I really don't have time during the day. You decide the location. A five-star hotel is no problem. You can order whatever dishes you want. If there are any questions you need to interview, you can talk while we eat."
Zhou Can had no choice but to compromise again.
Otherwise, it would be hard to accept it.
"That's good enough. You have some conscience. I'll make another appointment with you when this patient is almost fully recovered. By then, the girl's problem should be basically solved."
A happy smile appeared on her face.
Zhou Can's attitude made her feel comfortable and satisfied.
After talking with the beautiful reporter, Zhou Can went straight to the operating room.
As he recently assisted the cardiothoracic surgery department in performing various difficult level 3 and 4 major surgeries, he clearly felt that his surgical skills were insufficient and needed to be improved in many aspects.
In addition, after the emergency department's operating room was upgraded, he was able to begin performing many difficult level tertiary surgeries.
By then, even if the hardware facilities are up to standard, it would be too bad if he still couldn't perform many level tertiary surgeries due to his lack of ability.
Therefore, he has always been very motivated.
For many surgical skills, it is extremely difficult to advance from level five to level six.
It is not easy to accumulate 100,000 experience points.
Zhou Can was performing surgery in the operating room. It was around 10 a.m. when Dr. Xu came in and told him that the surgery was on hold. An emergency patient came in, and the doctor who was attending was unable to determine the patient's condition, so he asked him to come over to help with the consultation.
Normally, Zhou Can performs surgery in the operating room and is rarely disturbed.
This time the situation must be urgent, so we asked him to come over to help.
When Zhou Can arrived, he found that Director Lou and Doctor Ai Li were both at the scene. Deputy Director Han had a serious arm fracture due to the previous injury, and with Zhou Can's help, he underwent surgery in time.
But it will probably take a long time to get back to normal.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and this is aimed at young people.
Some older people have poor physical fitness and may not be able to fully recover even in half a year, let alone a hundred days.
"Xiao Zhou, this is the female patient who was brought here by ambulance. Her main symptoms are coughing, chest tightness, and general fatigue. Thinking it was just a minor cold, she bought medicine at the pharmacy and took it on her own. Four days later, her condition did not improve, but worsened. Then she went to the clinic where she rented to get an IV drip. This morning, her roommate found her fainted and called 120 for emergency treatment, but the ordinary district hospital was afraid to take the call. She was brought directly to us. I just checked it with Doctor Ai, and initially suspected that it might be myocarditis."
When Director Lou saw Zhou Can coming, he quickly explained the patient's condition.
"Okay, I'll show her first."
Zhou Can didn't bother to be polite at this time, as Director Lou wouldn't easily call him over.
Calling him over now is naturally because we hope he can help solve the problem.
He found that the girl's face and lips were a little purple, and then he took her hand and looked at it. The fingertips and nails were also purple. And her hand was very cold. She was currently breathing pure oxygen, but her blood oxygen was still so low.
Zhou Can directly used the back of his hand to check her forehead temperature.
I don't feel feverish.
"Have you had a checkup?"
"No. Xiaojing and I both just graduated and are currently interning at a company. We also have to rent a house. She got sick this time, and considering that it would cost a lot of money to go to a big hospital for treatment, we didn't dare to go."
The person who responded was not the family member, but the patient's roommate.
The two may also be classmates.
"Have the patient's family members arrived? Her condition is very critical, and many rescue measures require the signature of the immediate family members."
Zhou Can asked again.
"We have notified Xiaojing's mother, and she is on her way. But because her family is from another city, it may take her seven or eight hours, or even longer, to get here."
Zhou Can nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He looked directly at Director Lou.
"From the symptoms, it doesn't look like myocarditis, but there may be a serious problem with the lungs. I suggest reporting the patient as critically ill and sending him to the emergency room for intubation. We can do further tests when the patient's blood oxygen level improves a little. We may need to ask a doctor from Huhner to come for a consultation. To be on the safe side, it would be safest to ask a cardiologist to come for a consultation."
Zhou Can gave his diagnostic suggestions in a serious tone.
The patient's condition was more critical than expected.
If he just breathes oxygen, he may not survive until his family arrives.
This is Zhou Can’s judgment.
"Tracheal intubation is an invasive procedure, so we can only notify the family members by phone and have the patient's roommate sign on their behalf. We will report it to the medical department for handling in the emergency department."
Director Lou attaches great importance to Zhou Can's diagnosis.
Seeing that he sounded so serious, we made a decision immediately and prepared to go through the procedures to send him to the emergency room for rescue. At the same time, we asked the respiratory physician and cardiologist to come for an emergency consultation.
The patient's roommate was also a young girl of about 23 or 24 years old. It was probably the first time she encountered such a thing. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her hands were shaking slightly.
After listening to the doctors' discussion results, she quickly called the patient's mother again.
Repeat the hospital's decision on rescue.
The family seemed to disagree.
"I called several doctors and asked the patient's mother, and she said she did not agree to intubation."
"Come on, put the phone through and I'll talk."
Director Lou appears to be very responsible when faced with this kind of rescue of critical lives.
Even more anxious than the patient's parents.
After some communication, the patient's mother still disagreed with the hospital's rescue measures.
Because communicating with family members was difficult, it took nearly half an hour. Zhou Can felt like cursing as he stood by and watched.
What kind of mothers are these!
His daughter was lying in the hospital, almost dying, but she was still stubbornly refusing to be intubated. He could tell from the family members standing by that they were full of doubts about the hospital. They thought that it was just a minor cold, but they declared her critically ill and required intubation, which was pure over-medicalization.
The mother should have been fully aware of her daughter's illness.
I am really impressed by this mother. She did not persuade her daughter to go to a big hospital for treatment immediately. Instead, she let the child go back to the rental house to suffer alone after receiving an infusion in a small clinic.
Ignorance is really terrible.
These days, with the emergence of Kamata-based hospitals, many people have been harmed by various online medical consultations.
Those so-called experts and famous doctors may just be a group of people who graduated from medical technology. They may not even have a diploma. As for the high-profile international hospital names, it is possible that even the business license is fake.
Anyway, those people just bid through online search rankings, and then find ways to guide patients to consult and make offline appointments for consultations.
After deceiving the patients, all kinds of money-sucking methods are officially put into use.
I am not a professional, so I can't tell the depth of the hospital. I just think that this hospital looks very good from the outside, and the service is warm and thoughtful.
In fact, a hospital is not really a service enterprise.
Doctors and nurses are not waiters.
Many patients thought the doctor had an ugly face and bad attitude. He thought he was in a hotel.
In a sense, medical care should be considered a resource.
At critical moments, it is a valuable resource that can save patients' lives.
In order to cater to market needs, some hospitals have carried out smile training and provided warm services to make guests feel at home, which is really ridiculous. It is also the tragedy of this era.
At this time, the patient began to twitch suddenly and his hands shook.
"Director Lou, I'm afraid intubation is useless now."
Zhou Can's heart was bleeding as he watched from the side.
A young life in his twenties was lost just like that.
"ah……"
Director Lou turned his head to look at the patient, and his face turned red with anger.
"We regret to tell you that because you trusted your own judgment, trusted the so-called online expert consultation, and trusted the so-called online popular science education, your daughter has now missed the best time to save her. So let it be, we will do our best to save her."
Director Lou's patience is very good.
If it were Zhou Can, he would definitely scold the family member to death.
Who is this person!
"Rescue according to the procedure!"
Director Lou no longer mentioned intubation.
Zhou Can was also feeling extremely depressed.
"Xiao Zhou, go back to the operating room and continue your work!"
Director Lou waved his hand weakly.
"I suspect there must be something seriously wrong with the patient's lungs. Alas... it's a pity that no tests were done. Otherwise, if it was confirmed to be pulmonary arterial and venous thrombosis, we could have at least tried thrombolytic drugs. Now... we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate! It's so sad that this girl has to have such a mother!"
Zhou Can let out a long sigh.
This is not the first time this has happened.
But every time he encounters it, he feels very sad.
Doctors have limited abilities after all. Even if they have strong professional knowledge, if patients and their families do not cooperate with treatment and do not trust doctors, they can only worry.
For example, in the intensive care unit, the patient clearly has a great chance of being saved, but the family members are worried about losing both the patient and the money, so they finally choose to give up. If they insist on extubation, then they have no choice but to extubate.
Everyone needs to pray. When seeing a doctor, in addition to meeting a good doctor, the relatives and spouse around you must also be trustworthy.
For some major surgeries, if the family members refuse to consent, the hospital has no other options except to do some ideological work.
Back in the operating room, Zhou Can was in a low mood.
However, this did not affect his enthusiasm for surgery. He quickly adjusted himself and devoted himself to the surgery again.
After experiencing this tragedy, he cherishes every surgical opportunity even more.
Behind this lies the trust that patients and their families have in him.
…
During lunch, Zhou Can had already received the news that the girl had died because of ineffective "rescue".
This is not surprising at all.
When he noticed the girl twitching and her eyes rolling up, he realized that the most precious time for rescue had been missed.
At that time, she was sent to the emergency room for emergency intubation, and it was not certain that the girl's life could be saved.
At least there is some hope.
"Doctor Zhou, look at this news! The cardiothoracic surgery department of the Third Hospital has completed another extremely difficult cardiac surgery. And the patient is a wealthy man in Shanghai. They were able to start work after only four hours. This is too exaggerated."
Qiao Yu could see that Zhou Can was in a bad mood.
Deliberately make some news that Zhou Can cares about to divert his attention.
"I've read the news. This should be true. The Japanese cardiac surgeon at the Third Hospital does have a very high level of surgical skills. However, he only performs minimally invasive, endoscopic surgeries. And the surgical team he brought with him has already expanded. I heard that one of our top cardiac surgeons is actually willing to be his assistant."
Although Zhou Can is very busy, he is not oblivious to what is happening outside and is devoted to reading books of sages.
He also often pays attention to some news trends in the industry.
Zhou Can declined to comment on the famous domestic cardiac surgeon who was willing to serve as a medical assistant to Japanese experts.
It is obviously unreasonable to raise the level of being a traitor to the country and a national traitor.
Just look at this matter correctly.
There are many people who want to be students of Japanese experts, not just that top cardiac surgeon.
