Chapter 184: A Medical Miracle
Note that both Dr. Yang Yu and Dr. Zhou Chang looked at Li Quan with horror, not admiration or shock.
Li Quan almost got into big trouble in the emergency department a few days ago.
Now they are ignorant of the world and are giving acupuncture treatment to this patient with brain stem hemorrhage. It's really like Sun Wukong making trouble in heaven, not afraid of big trouble at all.
Both of them are Li Quan's superior doctors. If anything really goes wrong, both of them will be held responsible.
"Doctor Li, this is not a joke. The suspension investigation against you was just cancelled yesterday. It would be better if you don't take this risk." Doctor Yang Yu hurriedly advised Li Quan to give up the idea.
If the two chief physicians of neurology had not been here, he would not have discussed it with Li Quan at all.
Li Quan’s idea would be rejected directly.
"Don't the two directors want to step on Xu Tiangao to get to the top? I am willing to do my best to help." Li Quan did not listen to the advice of Doctor Yang Yu.
Because he also wanted to test whether acupuncture could treat patients with brainstem hemorrhage.
He didn't know about other patients with brainstem hemorrhage, but he found out through taking the pulse of the patient in front of him that there was a high chance of cure.
If the disease is really cured, his personal medical skills will be greatly improved.
"Xiao Li, your acupuncture can control intracranial hemorrhage. We have heard Professor Tang introduce it. And we believe it is true. But the bleeding site of this patient is the brain stem, which is a life-forbidden zone. How can you control it? No matter how magical your acupuncture is, I can tell you with my decades of experience in neurology that as long as your silver needles are inserted into the patient's brain stem, the patient will die immediately."
Director Chen said with a serious face.
"Of course I know this." Li Quan was still very confident.
"How sure are you?" Director Chen was tempted to see how confident he was.
Because as long as they can really save this patient , it will be of great benefit to them personally and to Weil Hospital.
"Let's make it fifty-fifty!" Li Quan thought about it and said seriously.
Director Chen nodded and looked at Director Yin.
"Old Yin, what do you mean?"
"Half of my body is almost buried in the ground. This time I really have a chance to step on Xu Tiangao's face. It's worth a try. If we want to do this operation, we must hurry up. The patient's brain waves have weakened a lot. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Director Yin was a decisive person and he actually agreed to let Li Quan try acupuncture.
"Since you, Old Yin, have risked everything, why should I worry about anything? Xiao Li, just go ahead and do whatever you want. No matter what happens, we two old guys will take care of it for you. We will do our best to guide you in this treatment."
Professor Chen seems to speak with great righteousness, but in fact he is extremely cunning.
Even if the patient really cannot be rescued, they don't have to bear any responsibility.
Because I have tried my best.
There are so many patients in hospitals who fail to be rescued every day.
If doctors are held responsible when someone dies, which doctor would dare to save people?
If Li Quan cured the patient with acupuncture, who would get the credit? Li Quan would definitely get a share, but the lion's share would definitely go to Director Chen and Director Yin.
By then, the fame of the two directors will surely increase greatly.
That’s why they say that older ginger is spicier.
Director Chen and Director Yin don't actually have to take too much risk to reap huge benefits.
"Hurry up and have the patient's family sign a consent form for the risks of the surgery, and then have them pay the full fee. The patient will be admitted to the hospital, and a craniotomy will be performed immediately to save his life."
After Director Yin finished speaking, he started making phone calls to mobilize people.
A chief surgeon like him usually performs surgery as the lead surgeon, and he will have assistants, instrument nurses, and so on.
This is a medical team.
"Xiao Li, after we open the skull, you can perform acupuncture treatment first. If it doesn't work, Director Chen and I will perform brainstem surgery on the patient." Director Yin made safe arrangements.
…
After more than ten minutes, everything was ready.
The patient's family should have known at Yuanyang Hospital that this disease was very difficult to treat, and they had prepared for the worst. Now they heard that Huier Hospital was willing to perform surgery on the patient to save him.
The family members agreed without giving it any thought.
I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the doctors at Wheeler Hospital.
In the emergency room, Chief Physician of Neurosurgery , Director Yin, personally performed the craniotomy.
He transferred several elite neurosurgeons to assist him.
Li Quan, a small intern, plays a pivotal role in the emergency room because he is the real surgeon in charge of this extremely difficult operation.
Director Yin and others performed a craniotomy on the patient only to provide conditions for Li Quan to perform acupuncture.
"Okay, the patient's skull has been opened, Xiao Li, you can start."
Director Yin stepped aside.
All the doctors and nurses focused their eyes on Li Quan, who was holding the silver needle.
Now, Li Quan enjoys super good treatment.
A surgical nurse was also specially arranged to hold the silver needle for him.
Li Quan walked calmly to the operating table, took the sterilized silver needle, and inserted it into the patient's opened cranial cavity.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Two female nurses even subconsciously covered their mouths to avoid screaming.
The acupuncture Li Quan performed this time was a very difficult type of acupuncture, called the clustering needle method.
How to say it?
It is like hunting in the mountains. Use silver needles to prick the key points of the brain, first control the bleeding in the brain stem, and then find a way to drain some of the blood in the brain stem.
It is impossible to drain it completely, only part of it can be drained out.
This is already Li Quan's limit.
Every time he gave an injection, he would turn his head to look at the monitor screen beside him.
Because he was afraid that the patient's brain waves would suddenly become a straight line.
Time passes by every second.
This operation took much longer than expected.
After nearly two hours, the anesthesiologist was the first to exclaim in surprise, "The patient's electrocardiogram has gone up a little!"
Then about half an hour later, the anesthesiologist exclaimed in surprise again, "Wow, look, there is a peak in the EEG."
Everyone looked at the monitor screen. That's right.
A tiny peak made every doctor in the emergency room ecstatic.
Judging from the data reflected by the monitor, the patient's condition is improving little by little.
Although the improvement process is very slow.
But it was enough to inspire every medical staff member. They witnessed the medical miracle created by Li Quan with their own eyes.
Sweat continued to pour out of Li Quan's forehead.
The female nurse carefully and gently wiped him clean with a tissue in time.
Drops of dark red blood slowly overflowed from the patient's brain stem, these were the blood clots inside being discharged.
People who stand close will find that Li Quan's acupuncture techniques are constantly changing.
Just like playing chess, you need to keep planning your moves.
He seemed to be battling an invisible enemy.
The operation was ongoing. The medical staff in the operating room had to take turns to eat and then come back to continue to work, even if they were not required to do anything.
But emergencies must be prevented.
Li Quan once again enjoyed the emperor's treatment. While he was taking a short break after the injection, the nurse fed him milk to replenish his energy.
However, Li Quan didn't dare to drink too much because he was worried that he would have to go to the toilet soon.
His acupuncture experience points have been soaring.
Now it has risen to 87%, a full 57 percentage points increase.
If he continues at this rate and saves the patient, his acupuncture skills will likely be advanced to the highest level.
