Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 119: Emergency Room 6 Overcrowded
 

“We just finished our basic science studies,” Xie Wanying replied to her senior, “including diagnostic, internal medicine, and surgery. Our counselor said that those who are capable can start self-studying ahead of time.”

“You learned this on your own?!” Doctor Jiang expressed deep astonishment at her words. It’s very important for the clinical subjects to be taught by clinical teachers because they provide students with clinical experience not found in textbooks.

“I can search for papers and review medical records for learning.”

Such an exceptionally hard-working student! A huge exclamation mark was the only thing left in Doctor Jiang’s mind.

Intelligence should allow for less effort, but what if a genius also worked hard? Huang Zhilei dared not think further. He felt his junior sister’s future growth would be astonishing.

“That’s fine, keep it up,” Doctor Jiang couldn’t help himself and patted Xie Wanying on the shoulder to encourage her. No medical teacher would dislike such an extremely diligent student.

“Senior,” Xie Wanying seized the opportunity, hoping to draw the senior’s attention to Father Liu’s condition, “Although he was admitted by the Department of Internal Medicine, it’s possible he needs to go to Cardiac Surgery instead of Cardiology.”

“Do you think he needs to go to Cardiac Surgery?” Doctor Jiang remembered her initial statement, which clearly indicated Xie Wanying thought Father Liu’s condition required Cardiac Surgery from the beginning.

“Yes. Personally, I don’t rule out the possibility that he has the most severe form of triple-vessel disease,” Xie Wanying said, her eyes fixed on Father Liu’s heart. She could clearly see the condition of the coronary arteries inside, and indeed they were very worrying.

Triple-vessel coronary artery disease is considered the most severe form of heart attack, where Cardiology’s Stenting procedure is not enough, and it requires Cardiac Surgery’s bypass operation for treatment.

Based on what she observed with her Special Ability, Xie Wanying predicted that Father Liu likely had a seventy percent narrowing in his three major arteries, which met the criteria she mentioned for needing to be sent for Cardiac Surgery to undergo bypass surgery. The question was how she was going to persuade her clinical senior to pay attention to this.

“Without coronary angiography, it’s impossible to confirm,” Doctor Jiang said.

“Right, but if there’s such a suspicion, shouldn’t we send him for it as soon as possible? Instead of leaving the patient here without doing anything,” Xie Wanying tried her best to convince her senior.

Doctor Jiang and Huang Zhilei looked at each other. The patient was taken in by Internal Medicine, and if they were to look at the medical records, wouldn’t that be overstepping their bounds? Moreover, doing so would seem to doubt the competency of the Internal Medicine on-duty doctor.

As colleagues, they generally wouldn’t do such a thing, as it could lead to dislike by their peers.
