Chapter 2379: Greater Trust
In medicine, just like in any other industry, introducing a new thing doesn’t guarantee everything can be cured.
It’s like when the market brings out a steam-bake integrated machine claiming it can represent all similar machines, yet it cannot even achieve the fast heating function of a microwave. The irresistible advertisements lure people in.
Whether it’s hospitals or medical device companies offering new technology, indeed they benefit the patients with suitable indications. On the other hand, doctors, like homemakers, face the reality of the limitations of new technology.
She is just a student without much practical knowledge like clinical doctors, it’s obvious that if this child patient needs surgery for rescue, they can only perform open chest surgery.
Open chest is different from thoracoscopy, it’s a large incision.
Knock knock, someone knocks on the rescue room’s door, perhaps knowing the leader is directing matters inside and daring not to enter freely.
"Who?" Luo Jingming speaks on behalf of the leader, asking.
The nurse pushes the door open and reports to the doctor, "Someone from the patient’s family has arrived, claiming to be the child’s grandparents. The city bureau colleagues from the police station have come to inquire about the injured’s situation."
Suddenly, so many people arriving complicates things. With the patient’s family present, doctors are even less likely to risk giving the child an open chest surgery.
"Should I go out and explain to the patient’s family?" Luo Jingming seeks guidance from the leader. Prior to the consultation, he had learned the patient’s family has an unusual status, requiring attention.
"I’ll go." Cao Zhao said.
The leader wants to go personally. No one dares to disagree.
As Cao Zhao turns to follow the nurse out to meet the family, he lowers his head and asks those present, "What do you want to do?"
The leader criticizes them for standing idly.
Luo Jingming elaborates on his treatment strategy while continuing to seek guidance from the leader: "We will maintain continuous cardiac monitoring for the patient until the blood test results come out and will contact the ultrasound department to bring over the ultrasound machine for bedside echocardiography, avoiding excessive movement of the child before a clear diagnosis."
This indicates that Senior Luo continues to trust Junior Xie Wanying’s ability; adding an echocardiogram does no harm and is worth considering.
This fellow doesn’t speak, wearing a face of indecision, ultimately standing by Student Xie. Okay, this person is even more cunning than him.
Luo Jingming calmly adjusts his glasses: "Director Cao, what do you think?"
"I think, when you let him do the echocardiogram, why not complete the preoperative preparations as well?" Cao Zhao said.
The leader is forthright, directly pinning him down on the spot. The point is, if trusting this suspicion direction, it’s completely possible to also do the preoperative preparations. This is a rescue case, time must be optimized.
"Yes," Luo Jingming said. What he didn’t expect is that the leader’s words indicate an even greater trust in Student Xie’s judgment.
"Sanbao," Cao Zhao affectionately calls Student Duan, "Take them up to the operating room and conduct preoperative preparations."
"Understood, Teacher Cao." Student Duan Sanbao finally lifts his head, putting away his notebook with a gleam in his eyes unlike his usual self. Upon hearing about the upcoming surgery, Student Duan, like an ostrich, becomes excited.
Student Xie and Student Pan quickly make eye contact: At last, they can enter the Shou’er’s operating room for a look.
As a group needs to leave the rescue room, the nurse has to inform them of a fact: "There are many people outside, be careful when you go out."
Various reporters and gossiping crowds, inside and out, form three layers blockading the entrance of Shou’er’s pediatric emergency room.
