Chapter 28 The Helpless Three Swordsmen
Dean Xu’s words are by no means exaggeration.
Xingcheng Affiliated Hospital is known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" hospitals in China. If even Affiliated Hospital is helpless, other hospitals in this province will be even more powerless!
"With that being said, but..." Vice President Jiang, who has always liked to argue with President Xu, has become quiet now.
"How long will it take for you to remove the other two bullets?" Dean Xu asked again.
"The deltoid muscles are easy to get, and can be done in more than ten minutes, including the treatment of wounds. The calf is a bit tricky because the bullet hurts the bones." Fang Hong said with a numb scalp.
As a surgical "Sword Saint" who has been holding a knife for more than 20 years, he has performed at least 999 major operations and has never failed. The surgery like today that made him hesitate is really the first time in his life.
"The patient has a strong willpower and a strong desire to survive. If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to do it before he could reach the hospital... So, no matter what the price he paid, we must save him! This is also the instructions of our superiors!"
Dean Xu hung up the phone and said in a heavy mood.
"Let's join forces! Maybe 30% sure!"
Vice President Jiang sighed and said to President Xu and Fang Hong.
Since they became the dean and executive vice president seven or eight years ago, they have basically never taken care of this. They are busy with work every day, so there is no time to see patients and perform surgery.
"I haven't touched the scalpel for many years..." A light flashed in Dean Xu's eyes, "Even if the three of us personally took the surgery, they are still not 50% sure. I just saw his gunshot wounds. It would be a miracle that he could survive until now..."
"If we want to remove the bullet smoothly, we must first have a plan to stop bleeding! Otherwise, we must not try it easily!"
The bullet has a diameter of 20 mm and a diameter of 12.7mm/14.5mm. The bullet is stuck on the artery near the heart. It is like a water pipe, inserted by a steel bar and then stuck on it. As long as the steel bar is pulled out, the water in the water pipe will gush out.
Moreover, the anatomical position is quite complicated, and the warhead is close to the coronary artery of the heart. The operation is extremely difficult and the risk is very high. If the warhead is pulled out directly according to routine surgery, it may cause severe bleeding in the heart and cardiac arrest.
In addition, he is now very weak and has many wounds on his body. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as lying in the gates of hell. Therefore, this is also the reason why everyone has been afraid to use the knife.
"We will first take out the bullets from his arm, then take out the bullets from his calf, and finally think of a solution to the bullet near his heart!"
After a few seconds of silence, President Xu secretly decided to save him no matter what, even if he fought for his life.
The question he did was the same as the multiple-choice questions he did in school, starting from the simple ones to the most difficult ones.
The reason is actually very simple. The bullet pressing on the major artery will not move for the time being, while the bullet in other parts is "moving", especially the bullet in the calf. The bullet has already touched the calf bone. If it is not handled, it may "pass" through the bone, causing irreversible damage.
"Director, the patient's abdomen's knife wounds have been sutured." A nurse said after putting away the needle and thread.
"Okay, it's a good phenomenon if you don't have much bleeding. Vice President Jiang and Director Fang, we are preparing to get the other two bullets, so we should quickly take the surgery without delay."
Director Xu said while washing his hands and disinfecting them. Then he put on sterile surgical gloves, walked to the bedside, and prepared to start the operation.
With a famous "Three Swordsmen" joining forces, this lineup is definitely at the "Tian Group" level.
Soon, the three people who were ready to work took out the bullets from the patient's arm deltoid muscle in just five minutes.
This pistol bullet just pierced the muscles of the arm and did not cause any other excessive damage. It only produced a little blood. Just clean the wound and then simply suture it.
"Now we are going to get the bullets from the calf..."
Dean Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He always had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell the reason.
I have been practicing medicine for more than 30 years and have performed numerous surgeries. This is the first time I have done such a surgery that directly stumped me.
But now I can't think about it anymore. I'll take out the bullet first. There is also a knife wound on his body that almost penetrates his lungs. This is why everyone dares not move around easily, for fear that other wounds will bleed violently, which will cause fatal complications.
Soon, the three people who had a tacit understanding took out the machine gun bullet from the patient's calf. At that time, the bullet was still "minced meat" inside and it had touched the bones. Fortunately, it was not a big deal to take it out in time.
Now two of the bullets on the patient's body, as well as the shocking knife wounds, have been treated, and no bleeding or infection has occurred yet.
Next, you have to remove the bullet near the heart as soon as possible, fearing that the longer it stays, the greater the adverse reactions it will cause.
"Director Xu, the spare blood is ready, and the patient's colleagues are all ready outside at all times." A young nurse walked over and said.
"Okay!" Dean Xu nodded and looked at Fang Hong and asked, "How sure are you to stop the bleeding?"
Fang Hong was silent for a moment and said truthfully: "20%. His situation is as unpredictable as a thrombosis in the mother. I have never seen such a strange gunshot wound. Look at his bullet, but I think the bullet has already penetrated the artery, but the CT film cannot be seen clearly, because it is wrapped in the tissue structure and blood near the heart, and it is impossible to see clearly.
"While we carefully open the chest cavity, we also need to prevent pressure from the air, so as to press the bullet to advance inward. Once an accident occurs when opening the cavity, we indirectly become the murderer.
"Take a step back, even if we successfully open his chest and find this bullet, how can we stop the bleeding? If the bullet is taken out, the blood from the artery will immediately gush out... If three minutes or something else can't solve this problem, his heart will stop beating immediately."
They all understand what Fang Hong analyzed, but the biggest problem is how to block the gap in the artery so that blood will not come out.
"...It is obvious that this gap cannot be solved by forcibly stopping bleeding, transfusion, or injections. It seems that it can only be achieved by traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture." Dean Xu said in a shocking statement after thinking for a long time.
He has been thinking about this question for a long time. From the moment he received the call, he has been wondering whether he can try to stop bleeding with traditional Chinese medicine treatment?
"Director Xu, in this case, I will never sing the opposite tune with you. I will ask you weakly, whose acupuncture technique has reached the point of being superb in the Department of Acupuncture in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Vice President Jiang said that he would not sing the opposite tune, but he understood that when he heard it, he knew that he was arguing.
Director Xu didn't respond, just stared at the man on the hospital bed and was tranced. He seemed to be struggling in his heart and wanted to make a major decision.
But his surface also seemed very calm and calm.
"Traditional Chinese medicine treatment... may not be impossible, but as far as I know, the doctors in our hospital who are engaged in acupuncture have not yet found a doctor who can interfere with the surgery."
Fang Hong’s statement is very pertinent. No one in the Chinese Medicine Department’s acupuncture department has broken the shackles and participated in surgical operations.
After thinking for a while, Director Xu suddenly turned around and said to one of the nurses: "Hurry out and find someone for me, and let Jiang Shaotian, from the Department of Cerebrovascular and Vesics of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, appear in front of me immediately within 20 minutes. Otherwise, he would never come to the hospital to work."
"Ah...oh, okay, I'll go now." The nurse was stunned when she heard this. After she realized it, she quickly ran out.
"Director Xu, you are making trouble again. When the operation is over, I must complain to the superior department!!"
Vice President Jiang was so angry that he almost beat someone, and then walked to the side cursingly.
“………”
Fang Hong didn't dare to say much, after all, it was a contest between the two deans, and he just obeyed the orders of how to perform the surgery.
Others dared not say anything. Isn’t it a pity to speak at this time? No one can offend the two deans!
Even if President Xu leaves office in the future, he will be a thin camel bigger than a horse. Who can stand firmly in the top position for several years without that ability?
Dean Xu didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly, watching the heart monitoring instrument of "Didi" in a daze...
After the young nurse ran out of the operating room, she was like a headless fly running around in the hospital and asking questions, and she didn't know where to look for Jiang Shaotian.
"The dean is really, at least he has to leave me a phone number! It's time to get off work, where should I find it?"
Just when she was helpless, a colleague came over, "What are you doing here? Don't you get off work?"
"What time should I get off? Let's talk about it for a long time. Did you see Jiang Shaotian from the Chinese Medicine Department? He is the handsome guy who has been in the limelight recently!"
Fortunately, Jiang Shaotian has a high recognition. Although he is just a young doctor who has just shown his strength, there are many people who remember him.
"You are talking about the handsome doctor who is a tall Chinese medicine department, right? I just saw him and ate beef noodles in the noodle shop behind it. It seemed that a few people were forced to pull him over..."
"That's great! Thank you!"
The young nurse trotted out immediately without waiting for the female colleague to finish her words.
"...What's going on? Are they in love?" The female colleague scratched her head and left the hospital suspiciously.
The street behind the hospital is basically filled with daily necessities stores, food stores, fruit stores, breakfast stores, Chinese restaurants, and hotels. The maternal and child goods stores are located in the bustling streets next to it.
The young nurse ran all the way and found seven or eight noodle shops in a row. Finally, she found him in a time-honored noodle shop with the largest area, the most expensive and the most luxurious decoration.
