Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 103: [103] Overnight Success 2 @@novelbin@@

The medical students watched and sighed in admiration, considering the work to be extremely important, and at the same time, it was truly very challenging. It’s no wonder neurosurgery is known as the pinnacle of surgery.

She could predict the results before looking at the images? Could she not become famous from this?

What would the clinical doctors decide next?

Director Lv, who stood at the forefront, was silent, his expression becoming more and more somber as he looked at the images, just like Cao Yong.

Doctor Wang, not senior in rank, seemed to have only noticed the presence of a tumor but didn’t determine its location immediately.

In contrast, the younger attending physician Huang Zhilei detected something odd more quickly than Doctor Wang and couldn’t help but express his astonishment, “Again!”

...

Xie Wanying, stationed behind a row of clinical doctors, couldn’t get to the best position to view the images and could only guess based on the doctors’ reactions whether her “Special Ability” had made a mistake. Now, it seemed she was correct, as the sigh from Senior Brother Huang confirmed that the tumor was situated in a tricky location, near the area of the Pons, which he most disliked.

“I’ll go talk to the patient’s family,” Director Lv said in a low voice. As a doctor, he certainly didn’t want the patient to die. So, his suggestion was, “Start with conservative treatment, and then when Director Zhang returns, it would be better to send the patient to America for surgery.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhilei looked at Cao Yong: Were they really considering sending the patient abroad?

If it couldn’t be treated domestically, it wasn’t a bad idea to send the patient abroad for the sake of their life, especially if the technology there was more advanced. Of course, this would make the domestic neurosurgeons look incompetent, subject to ridicule by their foreign counterparts.

Cao Yong stared at the images without speaking.

“There’s no need to think about it anymore,” Director Lv waved his hand and said, “This is a cerebellopontine angle meningioma. Even Doctor Chen couldn’t operate on it if he were to return. That’s the level of technology we currently have in our country. There are more specialists abroad who can perform this type of surgery. She is the wife of Director Zhang; her life is very important.”

The cerebellopontine angle meningioma is very difficult to operate on; the location is peculiar, with a multitude of important nerves and blood vessels entwined, and the postoperative results are poor. Fortunately, with the development of microsurgery, the outcomes have improved greatly. Although the technology abroad might be advanced, the fact remained—

“It’s too late to send her abroad. This tumor has a tendency to bleed. Turbulence on the airplane might cause her to pass away right there,” Xie Wanying had no choice but to speak up once more. It was this urgent situation that had made her insist on having the woman admitted for an examination initially, because surgery needed to be done as soon as possible.

“You’re just an intern, what you’re saying—” Doctor Wang began to chastise her anxiously, never expecting that this time someone would stop him, and it was?

“Let her speak,” Director Lv interjected.

Doctor Wang turned back, looking incredulously at Director Lv: What was going on with Director Lv? Was he really going to let an intern take charge over him?

A person who could truly hold the position of an associate director wasn’t a fool, even if their skills might not be the top-notch.

A sense of tension emerged in Huang Zhilei’s mind, seeing that Cao Yong had been silent while looking at the images, indicating that he had reservations about the junior sister’s suggestion. In any case, it wasn’t possible to identify any signs of bleeding tendency from the images at hand. Doctors, even if they truly disliked how patients always put more trust in foreign technology than domestic medicine, must certainly respect the patient’s pursuit of better medical technology to treat their own diseases, which is why Cao Yong did not immediately respond to Director Lv’s previous statement.
