Chapter 653 Tuya doesn't need a personal hero?
Time passed by second by second, and the atmosphere in the operating room was extremely tense.
Everyone is helping Mr. Song fight against death, doing their utmost to prolong his survival time and create the possibility of a successful operation for Zhou Can.
The temperature in the operating room was very low and many nurses were shivering with cold.
The alarms of various life monitoring instruments, ventilators, etc. have never stopped sounding, like a death knell.
Zhou Can is removing the sutured part that was left for the patient ten years ago at a very fast speed.
At this moment, his steady and fast knife skills had obviously made significant breakthroughs, and even the precise knife skills he learned later had breakthroughs as well.
His sword speed seems slow, but in fact it is as fast as lightning.
Not only that, it is fast yet stable, and at the same time precise, which simply breaks the rules of physics.
Doctor Xu was stunned as he looked at this, with endless surprise and a hint of inspiration in his eyes.
He achieved speed to the extreme, but could not ensure stability, let alone accuracy.
One can only rely on extremely fast knife speed, as well as decades of practice of strength, feel, and experience to ensure accuracy when cutting.
At this moment, watching the cold scalpel come alive in Zhou Can's hands, extremely fast, as steady as a rock, and extremely accurate, this is simply a perfect knife technique. It is also a knife technique that he dared not even dream of.
This disciple is truly amazing.
His understanding, talent, diligence, and character are all first-class. Before he knew it, he had become better than his teacher.
Whether Zhou Can had previously performed level 3 surgeries alone in the operating room or challenged difficult level 4 surgeries, Dr. Xu did not think that Zhou Can was better than him. If he were allowed to take off the shackles of sin, he would have the confidence to surpass his previous peak after years of hard training in surgical skills.
Until this moment, when he saw Zhou Can integrate the three knife techniques and create a new and perfect knife technique, Dr. Xu truly felt the Yangtze River's back waves rushing over the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach.
He has been surpassed by his apprentice.
The operation is still going on. After Zhou Can successfully cleaned the patient's wound, he will complete the most critical and core step, anastomosis of the nerves.
The most difficult part is that countless nerve guide wires need to be aligned.
It would probably take more than a sleepless month to align them one by one.
And you have to wear a microscope that can magnify a thousand times to see it clearly.
Almost all nerve anastomoses are blind.
That is to say, the broken nerve sections are connected together based on feeling.
Experience, talent, and anastomosis technique, each of which may affect the anastomosis results.
Nerve anastomosis is not like blood vessel anastomosis. All you need to do is make sure that the inside of the broken blood vessel is unobstructed after it is connected.
Nerves are more like optical cables, which contain countless tiny optical fibers, and each one must be connected properly.
Zhou Can's seventh-level anastomosis, seventh-level suturing, seventh-level ligation, and superb talent for nerve anastomosis give him an advantage in this nerve anastomosis surgery.
It took a total of eight minutes and five seconds from cutting open the original anastomosis, cleaning the wound, to successfully re-anastomosis.
After the examination was confirmed to be correct, he began to quickly clean the patient's cranial cavity and then closed it.
Although absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed were used, the skull flap that was removed was not put back in, considering the major risks that may occur after the operation. Instead, the scalp layer was cut again and the skull flap was put back in after the patient's vital signs stabilized.
The patient will need to stay in the intensive care unit for at least ten days.
Seeing that the operation was successfully completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions became visibly more relaxed.
"Zhou Can!"
Director Feng called out.
"exist!"
Zhou Can looked over in confusion.
"The patient's EEG signals are very flat. Your pontine nerve anastomosis may not have achieved the desired effect. In fact, it may be worse than before the operation. If the patient's EEG signals remain in this state, even if he wakes up, he will most likely remain a vegetative state."
Director Feng is very experienced and has performed countless difficult neurosurgery operations.
If not thousands, there are at least hundreds.
Anesthesiologists are responsible for the safety of the entire perioperative period and are naturally aware of the postoperative prognosis.
Everyone had just relaxed, but after hearing this, they became nervous again.
Zhou Can seemed to have anticipated this.
"Operating the brain stem involves huge risks. Now that the operation is complete, all we can do is wait for a medical miracle. Jiang Wei, the formulation of the patient's care plan and nutritional management are all in your hands."
"no problem."
Jiang Wei readily agreed.
…
After the operation, the patient was basically hanging on to his last breath and was transferred to the ICU for intensive care to ensure that he survived the most dangerous half month after the operation.
Because the patient's brain waves after the operation were no different from those of a vegetative state, a shadow also loomed over Zhou Can.
No one can guarantee whether this operation will be a success or a failure.
Time passed quickly, and Tuya Hospital mobilized the best medical resources to care for Mr. Song.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The medical miracle did not happen, Mr. Song's brain waves remained flat, and now he is in a true vegetative state.
When Mr. Song had just finished the operation, President Gao was unusually active and showed off in front of the Song family.
Now, half a month has passed, and Mr. Song still shows no signs of waking up. Dean Gao realizes that something is wrong and has been hiding in the intensive care unit, apparently trying to distance himself from the matter.
Seventeen days after Mr. Song's operation, the head of the Song family came in person.
Upon hearing the news, President Gao rushed over and accompanied them.
Several leaders from the competent departments also arrived one after another.
After visiting the ICU, the head of the Song family left with a gloomy face without saying a word. Obviously, his brother had become a vegetable, which made the head of the Song family very dissatisfied.
The situation is now significantly worse than the previous paralysis.
But he didn't cause trouble for Zhou Can.
Zhou Can was not summoned either.
Shortly after the head of the Song family left, President Gao convened a meeting of all the leaders of the hospital, including Zhou Can.
President Gao's face was clouded with gloom, and the leaders of the health department were also sitting on the rostrum.
"Today, we have called everyone to take out their precious time to hold this meeting for one thing. Zhou Can, the deputy director of the emergency department, performed brainstem surgery on a patient who had suffered a medical accident in our hospital for his own selfish reasons. As a result, the patient's condition not only did not improve, but worsened. The family of that patient was magnanimous and did not pursue the matter, but our hospital must deal with the doctor involved seriously."
If you have made contributions, the leader will get the biggest share.
Now that something has happened, the leader has completely passed the buck and the doctor involved has been pushed out to take the blame.
Although the head of the Song family was very angry, he did not give any instructions on what to do to the surgeon Zhou Can.
As soon as the head of the Song family left, Dean Gao immediately convened a meeting of the entire hospital and wielded a machete at Zhou Can.
It's nothing more than wanting to express his stance to the Song family.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to please the Song family in every way possible and calm their anger.
"I propose that Zhou Can be immediately suspended from all his duties and medical work. The cost of the patient's subsequent treatment and compensation will be borne by Zhou Can alone. Our Tuya Hospital does not need individual heroes, but pragmatism and unity. We need to build Tuya into a top-notch tertiary hospital in China."
President Gao is too cruel.
This is to wipe Zhou Can out completely and reduce him to zero.
He emphasized the word "personal hero".
Zhou Can is indeed the most outstanding doctor in Tuya Hospital in the past two years, no doubt about it.
In the eyes of many medical staff, he is a hero and a role model. His influence may be even greater than that of President Gao.
Although Zhou Can took the initiative to step back after Dean Gao took office, his medical skills were too strong.
This also resulted in his popularity not only not diminishing, but continuing to rise.
Many patients with difficult diseases from all over the country travel thousands of miles just to see Zhou Can.
When the chief physicians of various departments encounter difficult cases and are unable to handle them, they often think of asking Zhou Can for help.
This huge influence makes President Gao very wary.
However, Zhou Can had done nothing wrong and had a very high reputation within the hospital and in society, so Dean Gao did not dare to do anything to him.
The two of them maintained a delicate balance and did not interfere with each other.
Seeing the opportunity at this moment, President Gao took ruthless action against Zhou Can, intending to kill off the "personal hero" of Tuya Hospital.
Zhou Can sat there with a calm expression.
When he was preparing to perform surgery on Mr. Song, he was already prepared for a possible failure.
Many clinical department leaders at the meeting, especially several vice presidents, showed a hint of anger. However, because of the presence of the leaders of the competent department, everyone suppressed their dissatisfaction and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
"President Gao, everything you said is right. If you do something wrong, you should take responsibility. I highly agree with you."
Director Lou was the first to stand up and support President Gao.
Everyone looked at Director Lou's expression with contempt.
In fact, recently, several vice presidents of clinical departments, even the department directors and experts, have not been very friendly to Director Lou.
"Director Lou is worthy of being the vice director of the emergency department. He has a high level of ideological awareness! He is also fair and strict in his work and will never shield anyone."
A hint of satisfaction appeared on President Gao's face.
He had been in Tuya Hospital for a long time, and although he had the power firmly in his hands, his support rate in the hospital was very low, especially among the leaders of the clinical departments. Apart from Director Lou, no one else supported him.
This made President Gao very depressed and sometimes helpless.
"Thank you, President Gao, for your affirmation. I haven't finished what I said just now. I think everything you said is right, but there is one thing wrong. The person who is mainly responsible for Mr. Song's treatment is not Zhou Can, but me, Lou Jingshan. Now that there is a problem, this responsibility should naturally be borne by me. Zhou Can is a good doctor. In order to treat patients, he does not care about personal gains and losses and future.
Now that something has gone wrong, it is unreasonable for him to be held responsible, and it will also discourage all clinical medical staff."
Director Lou’s words instantly stunned President Gao.
The smile on his face was gone.
"Dean Lou, do you know what you are talking about?"
His anger had erupted like a volcano.
Director Lou, who had always obeyed him, actually went against him in front of everyone.
This is exactly the opposite.
"I know exactly what I'm saying. I led Mr. Song's surgery, so I should take all the responsibility. I am willing to resign from my positions as vice president and director of the emergency department, and publicly apologize to Mr. Song and his family. Zhou Can performed the surgery in accordance with the law and regulations, and there was no fault. Naturally, he does not need to be punished. Otherwise, I believe that no one here would agree."
Director Lou looked at President Gao indifferently, no longer as humble and submissive as before.
Some have the determination and firm will to fight to the end.
“You, you…”
Dean Gao's face had turned the color of liver. He was angry.
"I think what President Lou said makes a lot of sense. Dr. Zhou Can performed surgery on the patient in accordance with the law and regulations and is not guilty."
Vice President Ye was the first to speak.
"Yes, not guilty."
Qin Yuanzhu had been depressed for a long time. Now he had the opportunity to speak for Zhou Can, and his voice was shrill.
"We support Zhou Can's innocence. The punishment of Zhou Can is obviously unreasonable."
Vice President Bai also spoke up for Zhou Can.
"I am the chief of surgery and vice president of the hospital. I have the most say in the safety of surgical operations. I fully support Dr. Zhou Can this time. If the doctor performs the operation according to the regulations and then the operation fails, the doctor will be held responsible. Who will dare to perform surgery on patients in the future? Therefore, I must support Zhou Can's innocence."
Director Xie has always been at odds with Zhou Can.
No one expected that he would support Zhou Can at this critical moment.
"What Dean Xie said makes a lot of sense. I also support Zhou Can's innocence. I do not recommend pursuing any responsibility for this matter."
Director Tang Fei of the Pediatrics Department lightly brushed her bangs in front of her forehead, revealing her beautiful face, and then spoke.
"Tuya Hospital is a medical institution that serves everyone. We should not sacrifice our doctors just to please a powerful person. Dr. Zhou Can has made great contributions to the expansion of Tuya Hospital. He is very kind and compassionate when treating patients, and never considers himself. We cannot let such a hero shed blood, sweat and tears.
I suggest that instead of punishing Dr. Zhou Can, he should be rewarded.”
Director Tan from the Department of Internal Medicine also speaks with great authority.
"We in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology should not have said much about this kind of thing, but now I must say that we support Dr. Zhou Can and oppose the abuse of power to suppress clinical doctors. What Dean Tan said is very reasonable. Tuya is not a personal hall for one person, but Tuya for everyone. We need personal heroes like Dr. Zhou Can. Every clinical medical staff deserves to learn from him."
Director Zhang Bihua of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department refused to give in to anyone and just leaned against the wall.
Although she is old, she speaks with great authority.
…
Voices supporting Zhou Can rose and fell at the scene, and the face of President Gao, who was high above them, turned paler and paler.
Even several leaders of the health department felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
They didn't expect that Dr. Zhou Can's influence would be so great.
In Tuya Hospital, there are so many people supporting him.
There are both senior leaders of the hospital and ordinary medical staff and directors of departments.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
If President Gao insists on holding Zhou Can accountable, not only President Gao, but even the leaders of their competent departments will be overthrown by the masses.
"It seems that the public has sharp eyes. Everything Dr. Zhou Can has done is selfless and has won the hearts of the people. President Gao, we do not recommend punishing Dr. Zhou Can. As for rewarding Dr. Zhou Can, we suggest that it be delayed a little. After all, we also have to take into account the feelings of the patient's family."
Sweat was pouring down the superior's forehead.
If we don't calm the public anger, today's outcome will not be good.
This Zhou Can's foundation in Tuya Hospital is beyond imagination.
