Chapter 2377: Tested
This statement really reflects someone who is very familiar with cardiac surgery knowledge.
Cao Zhao tilted his head down, wondering whether his younger brother knew. His brother seemed to always want to pull people to the neurosurgery department to fly high together. However, the uncle mentioned once that Student Xie, as an academic achiever, also had notable mastery of neurosurgery knowledge points.
(Student Xie is incredibly adept at hiding her true abilities.)
"Teacher, I suggest we immediately perform a cardiac ultrasound on the child to verify." Xie Wanying said.
For suspected structural changes in the heart, cardiac ultrasound is the primary choice, quick and convenient. CT can reveal hidden lesions, much like her cousin’s situation.
Xie Wanying knew after saying this that she was once again taking a gamble. The evidence she presented was actually not enough to support her current suspicion. According to the electrocardiogram performance, doctors should primarily suspect ischemia. To consider something like a rupture of the ’your’ head muscle, the child would at least need to present symptoms of heart failure and pulmonary edema.
What was she betting on? Her brain, based on current data, had deduced this direction as her clinical intuition. Whether the teachers’ judgment aligned with her brain was unknown.
"Do you think the child’s condition is very serious?" Cao Zhao asked her.
The others at the scene heard and doubted: No way? Is he asking a medical student’s clinical intuition?
Yes. Xie Wanying admitted, her brain’s intuition suggested that the child’s condition was very serious and critical. She had been the one performing resuscitation on the child at the scene, doing cardiac compressions for over ten minutes to bring back the child’s heartbeat. How could the child possibly only have slight myocardial damage and arrhythmia?
"Yes."
Xie Wanying replied while continuing to catch the gaze from the Immortal Brother across from her.
When clinical teachers look at you like this, it only means one thing: They want to test whether you can stick to your academic viewpoint. If you can, it shows you have confidence. If not, it shows you doubt your own judgment, so how could the teachers adopt your opinion?
The two individuals were not nervous. The surrounding others were mentally tense, a group of them acknowledged Student Xie’s impressive courage, not fearing to meet the gaze of leaders.
Cao Zhao realized something. The student before him was knowledgeable enough about the big bosses that she was not afraid of his gaze. Turning back, the black vortex in his eyes spun even faster like a whirlwind.
The Immortal Brother revealed a profound profile, making Xie Wanying’s heart skip: thump thump, thump thump. A feeling repeatedly told her that Senior Cao’s family was different.
"If the cardiac ultrasound doesn’t provide the results you want or only shows some abnormal reflux, how do you plan to handle it?" Cao Zhao asked, his voice calm and consistent, one hand in the white coat pocket and the other handing the ECG to Student Duan for further study.
Duan Sanbao buried his head into the ECG paper, vigorously analyzing the patterns.
"Well, regarding this issue—" Xie Wanying thought for a moment before speaking, "My intuition tells me not to give up like this. We must identify the true cause. If the cardiac ultrasound does not reveal it, then perform a thoracoscopy."
Crazy?! The first to be shocked was Luo Jingming, who claimed he knew her well.
This junior sister is acting so recklessly? Can surgery be decided just like that? Doctors performing surgery based on intuition? If nothing is found after the surgery, the patient would have suffered a knife wound for nothing, right?
It indicates that before truly getting to know Student Xie, never assume you’ve fully understood her.
Of course, Student Xie would never suggest the patient endure surgery for no reason.
