The Surgeon’s Studio

In the end, the patient and the patient’s family reached a consensus to absolutely use the third plan. The radiance and persistence of a mother gave the child a chance to live.

However, even so, it was only wishful thinking.

In Asia, including Japan, which had the highest level of medical technology, no one had ever performed such a surgery.

This plan was only a plan, and it was the first attempt. The success rate would definitely be very low. According to the experts ‘speculations, a 10% success rate was already an overestimation.

The hospital and the patient’s family entered a stage of confrontation.

Out of the protection of adults and out of the measure of medical ethics, the hospital was still inclined to perform surgical treatment. Department Director Liu Cixi had already brought his own Medical Group to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and was ready for surgery at any time.

“Doctor, I also want to only operate on the child.” The husband of the pregnant woman was an honest man in his late forties. His face was full of worry, and half of his hair had turned white in the past few months.

He looked forward to the smooth birth of the child, but he had to encounter this kind of problem, which made the man frown and suffer every day.

Life was difficult, and he would rather be the one who had to undergo heart surgery on the operating table than his unborn child.

With much difficulty, he said,”but my wife firmly disagreed. She said that even if she had to die, she would die with the child.”

Director Chen shook his head slightly and said,””A success rate of around 10% is too low. I don’t recommend it.”

The man was in a dilemma.

To save the adult or to save the child, under the great pressure of this ancient question, he almost collapsed.

In fact, he didn’t have much of a choice. He had to protect the adults. It was just that the pregnant woman insisted, and the family couldn’t do the work.

The office fell silent again.

There were too many people in the meeting, and the air in the spacious office was so dirty that everyone felt a little suffocated.

The man sat on the chair, his back bent forward, holding his head in pain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Everyone was waiting for the patient’s family to make a decision because the patient’s request was unacceptable from a medical ethics point of view.

After another ten minutes of silence, the man said in pain,””I … I’ll go and talk to her again.”

With that, he stood up and left the office, feeling lonely and helpless.

The patient’s family left, and the atmosphere in the office became a little livelier. After all, there were many things that could not be said in front of the patient’s family. After he left, he would say whatever he had to say and seize the time to speak freely.

“Chief physician Wang, you didn’t give the patient’s family enough consideration when you told them about this.” Director Chen said sternly,”ectopic transplantation has not been launched in Asia. Why did you tell the patient’s family about this possibility?”

Director Wang of the obstetrics department was a veteran director. She could have been promoted to Deputy Director a long time ago, but she gave up all the opportunities and stayed in the clinical department.

She didn’t like the working atmosphere in the mechanisms.

“Director Chen, I’ve talked to the pregnant woman a few times. Her attitude is extremely firm, and it can’t be easily explained in the scope of medical ethics. At that time, I thought that this was a win-win solution, and there have been hundreds of successful surgeries all over the world. ” Chief Wang said frankly,”it’s not that I can’t do it.”

“Who are you looking for? No one has done it. ” Director Chen said unhappily.

To her, chief Wang’s instructions were unnecessary.

This kind of surgery had not been performed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital or surgery department outside fuwai. In Beijing, in the country, and even in the whole of Asia, this was a forbidden zone.

Carrying out ectopic transplantation for treatment like an adult was the brightest pearl in the crown of Fetal Medicine.

It was just that no one in the country had taken this Pearl down yet.

“Recently, Mr. Zheng from 912 received a Nobel Prize recommendation for the TIPS surgery. His level of intervention is quite high.” Chief Wang said very seriously,”and his level in Cardiovascular Surgery is quite high. I think he’s a suitable candidate.”

“Boss Zheng?” Director Chen recalled a few things that had caused quite a stir in the medical world in the imperial capital.

That arrogant young man?

“But this is a fetal surgery, an ectopic surgery.” Director Chen said in a deep voice.

“It’s precisely because of this that no one has ever performed an ectopic transplantation before. So, it’s only right that we choose a person with the highest skill level to perform it. ” Chief Wang said,”I think boss Zheng can increase the success rate of the surgery to about 30%.”

30%… That was only a small probability that the hospital could not afford.

“Director Wang, do you really think boss Zheng can do it? I’ve heard that he’s arrogant, despotic, and young. ” Director Chen said helplessly.

If possible, no one would want to deal with an arrogant young man.

“It’s just a rumor. Besides, as long as it can increase the survival rate of the pregnant woman and the child, I don’t think we need to consider anything else. ” Chief Wang said as he adjusted his reading glasses.

“I …”

“This is my suggestion. Director Chen, if you can find an expert in interventional surgery better than boss Zheng in the capital, or in other countries … Forget it, sigh.” Chief Wang knew that he had gone a little overboard with his words.

It was not a problem of money to invite foreign experts to make a special trip to perform the surgery in a short time.

Who would care about money when they were doctors who could perform ectopic transplantation?

No one was willing to come without a familiar and reliable relationship, or the accumulation of feelings from academic conferences.

After all, even if foreign experts had successful cases, they would basically choose to refuse a surgery with a 50% chance of failure.

No one would agree to go out and perform a surgery with uncontrollable risks so easily.

The level of involvement in Imperial was higher than boss Zheng’s … He was a Nobel Prize nominee, and that title alone was enough.

Director Chen thought for a moment and nodded.”Director Wang, I’ll try to contact 912.”

Director Chen stood up and walked out.

……

Zheng Ren sat in the operating room outside the operating theater and pondered about the rotation of in-service training doctors to perform surgery.

We can’t just let them work and not let them perform surgery.

He learned what he needed to learn and knocked on what he needed to knock on.

In the operating theater, this was the last surgery for the day.

Zheng Ren felt that his surgical skills had improved again after the surgery of removing the pric catheter. Especially after he performed the surgery on his mother-in-law, he felt that his surgical skills had undergone an inexplicable change.

Before that, he had watched professor Rudolf Wagner’s surgery and felt that there was nothing to be picky about.

However, looking at it now, there were still many areas that could be improved.

Zheng Ren was very satisfied with this. It seemed like the peak was not the last stop. After the peak, there would be mountains higher and higher.

[They’re saying hurry up and write …]

His phone rang. Zheng Ren picked it up and saw that it was director Yan.

“Director.”

“I’m in the operating theater, on the observation deck. “

“Alright, I’ll be at your office immediately.”

After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he didn’t immediately go to director Yan’s office as he had said. Instead, he watched the surgery for a few more minutes.

After professor Rudolf Wagner put the stent in and the blood flow was smooth, he said something to the doctor and turned to change his clothes.
