Returning to ’90s, She Became Famous in Major Surgical Fields

Surgeons had always worked so hard.

Xie Wanying and child Zhengzheng put dozens of small paper cranes folded into plastic bags.

The operating room door opened, and Daddy Liu was pushed out by Yue Wentong, the anesthesiologist and the nurse who went in to see the operation. The surgeon did not come out, perhaps because he knew that the patient’s family was a seven-year-old child who could not understand anything, so it was unnecessary to come out to explain. He went to have a rest first.

“Dad.” Zheng Zheng approached the hospital bed and held his father’s hand.

Before the anesthetic, Daddy Liu was in a daze, as if he heard his daughter’s voice, but at the same time, as if he could not hear it. He tried to move his eyelids.

They pushed Daddy Liu’s lathe to the door of the elevator, ready to go to icu.

Without seeing the chief surgeon and unable to know the patient’s condition, Xie Wanying asked their class monitor in a low voice, “How was the operation?”

Yue Wentong replied, “Rather serious.”

Although he didn’t understand well, the doctor would always say something during the operation, vaguely revealing the specific situation of some patients.

“The obstruction is really severe. With venous malformation, intervention is futile.” Yue Wentong responded, “Fortunately, intervention is unlikely. Likewise, if a bit slower, maybe a bit too late.”

Coronary artery bypass surgery and Interventional Cardiovascular Surgery had some similarities and differences, but they also could treat myocardial infarction. A myocardial infarction occurs when a large blood vessel on the surface of the heart that supplies blood to the heart muscle becomes blocked, and the heart becomes necrotic, stops beating and the patient dies.

For this reason, Coronary artery bypass surgery is done when a blood vessel is blocked and another vessel or vessels are opent to maintain blood supply to the heart.

Intervention based on the original blood vessels, and a stent is placed in the blood vessel that was not completely blocked, isolated from the external blockage, so that blood continues to flow through the stent.

When compared, the two are clearly distinguishable. Because bypassing is something that cardiac surgery does, and if another blood vessel is built, the patient’s heart must open, which the doctor can only do by looking directly at the heart.

In the case of interventional surgery, placing a stent along the blood vessel is somewhat similar to the putting a needle into the blood vessel with an injection, and it is obvious that the cardiologist can do it without opening the chest.

Chest opening requires a knife, and many patients are unwilling to ho through that procedure. The problem is that if the blood vessel is completely blocked, it is difficult to put the stent in the intervention. In addition, there are blood vessels that are not completely blocked but malformed, such as the situation found in Daddy’s Liu case after his thoracotomy, and intervention was definitely not enough. If the cause was not treated, it would recur and must be corrected by surgery.

“Dr. Yang said that it was right to send him for surgery.” Yue Wentong summarised the surgeon’s words and asked Xie Wanying, “How did you judge?”

She was the one who consistently recommended that patients be sent for bypass surgery, as if she were more accurate than several clinicians.

Xie Wanying couldn’t honestly say that she was reborn and had special abilities. She pondered how to fool the monitor for a while. When she saw the elevator coming, she hurriedly said, “You can go ahead.”

Feeling that she would not say anything as if there were some secret hidden, Yue Wentong twisted his eyebrows and said to her, “How dare you not say it.”

Xie Wanying understood the monitor’s meaning and explained her motivation, “It depends on who you talk to. Guoxie is the number one hospital in the country. The teachers here are highly responsible. The teachers know that the patients who come here to see a doctor are desperate. Guoxie’s doctors are the last line of defence in the fight to save lives. Because I dare to say more in the Gouxie. Teachers are far more powerful than I am, and they can fully assess whether I am correct or incorrect.”
