Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 128: After discussion, the seniors decided to do 3
 

Doctor Lin picked up the phone, maintaining his composure first, he wanted to handle the patient before settling scores with someone.

Calling the cardiology department, Doctor Lin turned to confer with Zhu Huicang, “Let’s transfer to your cardiac surgery unit. After all, the heart has suddenly stopped, it must be quite serious.”

“Won’t your cardiology department do an angiography first?” Zhu Huicang raised an objection.

Doctor Lin echoed Doctor Jiang’s suspicion at this point, “He suspects the patient might have triple vessel disease.”

“It’s not me, it’s her,” Doctor Jiang clarified with a rueful smile.

It was her again. Zhu Huicang quickly asked Xie Wanying, “How did you come to this conclusion? Why do you suspect the patient has triple vessel disease?”

Having just been observing, Wanying now looked at the patient’s medical record and became even more certain of her suspicion; she told her seniors, “It’s not just a common ST segment depression, it’s a widespread ST segment depression, which is not common. If the seniors have paid attention to recently published papers internationally, researchers have been trying to sum up whether this is a typical change due to ischemia caused by severe blockage of the left main coronary artery or severe triple vessel disease.”

On hearing her explanation, Doctor Lin and Zhu Huicang remembered there had been such a view in a recent international medical perspective.

“Given the patient has already experienced cardiac arrest and with these rare clinical changes, it might not just be triple vessel disease but also possible vascular malformation. Intervention carries risks, it might be safer to perform bypass surgery. If interventional stent surgery fails and then sending for bypass surgery means losing the golden opportunity for rescue,” Xie Wanying further answered.

Doctor Lin and Zhu Huicang looked at each other, then asked her, “Do you know what triple vessel disease is?”

Doctor Jiang and Huang Zhilei noticed: these specialists, obviously, had become more interested in the trainee as they kept asking questions.

“Triple vessel disease refers to the three most important main coronary arteries of the heart—the right coronary artery, the left anterior descending artery, and the left circumflex artery—all undergoing relatively severe changes, with stenosis that can reach over seventy percent,” Xie Wanying stated.

“Do you know where the anatomy of these three vessels is located?”

Yue Wentong, standing opposite her, began to sweat when he heard the two specialists ask this question.

Continuing the examination like this, no medical student would be able to withstand it.

With a swoosh, Xie Wanying quickly pulled out a notebook from the pocket of her white coat, rapidly flipped to a blank page, drew a pen, and swiftly sketched on the paper!

She drew with amazing speed, creating an accurate heart diagram in just a few strokes.

“Stop!” Zhu Huicang and Doctor Lin shouted in unison, asking her to stop drawing.

What’s the point of continuing the test? No need for further testing; she’d surely get a hundred percent.

What were they thinking, why suddenly wanting to test a student? Perhaps encountering such a bright student, they couldn’t help but want to test her; rather than testing, they were probably itching for a chance to converse with a potential medical prodigy.

The cardiology department had not connected earlier, but now they were returning the call. Doctor Lin listened to the person on the other end while maintaining a serious expression, and asked Zhu Huicang, “Is it that your cardiac surgery unit has no beds available?”

“That should be the case,” Zhu Huicang didn’t need to think about it, as beds were in high demand in every department.

“Go to the ICU after surgery? But as far as I know, there are no beds available in the ICU either,” Doctor Lin remarked, “unless patients in your department who are recovering well in the ICU can be moved down to your department to free up a bed, your department would need to have a bed available.”

No beds available? What about Father Liu after his surgery?

Yue Wentong, who had been at a loss about what he could do, suddenly remembered the patients outside his own department.
