Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 829 - Chapter 829 【829】Multidisciplinary Consultation

Chapter 829: [(829)] Multidisciplinary Consultation Chapter 829: [(829)] Multidisciplinary Consultation The sound of the ventilator was quite distinct, whooshing with a clear rhythmic pattern.

In between each hospital bed, curtains were mostly drawn tightly, for fear that a resuscitation in the neighboring bed might scare another patient to death.

Approaching the bed, the patient was already surrounded by many doctors, with representation from both internal and surgical departments. President Wu was not present, having delegated Director Yang to oversee the situation.

The urology team, led by Wei Tianlang, circled the patient’s surgical site, checking the condition of the wound, the drainage tube, and the urinary catheter.

The cardiologists and cardiac surgeons were fixated on the electrocardiogram data from the monitoring machine. It seemed that the patient had heart rhythm issues last night.

“The heart rate was quite high, with premature beats occurring around two or three in the morning,” said Xia Dongxian, who had been on duty last night. “Considering the postoperative low body temperature, slow metabolism, and the slower expulsion of the anesthesia drugs. An anesthetist was called to adjust the pain medication–reducing it caused pain.”

“Is it necessary to increase the painkiller every time he’s in pain?” asked Fu Xinheng.

Lau Jingyun, who stood across the bed with dark circles under her eyes from a busy night, furrowed her brows. As an anesthetist, her life goal was to spare all patients from pain. Yet last night, her junior’s childhood friend had been in pain for nearly half the night.

“Why has the patient’s body temperature remained low? Those who performed the surgery, did you notice any other abnormalities?”

The urologists, who had checked the exterior, replied to the inquiry, “You’ll have to ask the person involved; we didn’t operate. But the bleeding should’ve been fully controlled. We can’t detect anything wrong with the wound and the drainage tube. The blood pressure isn’t low either.”

With President Wu absent, Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie, who participated in the surgery, recounted the scene in the operating room.

Xie Wanying pushed through the crowd to the bedside, touched her childhood friend’s forehead, and felt a fever rather than low body temperature. The phone in her pocket vibrated–a new message had arrived. She took it out and glanced; it was from her second senior sister.

Last night, both her eldest senior sister and junior sister were involved in the emergency. As the second in rank, how could He Xiangyu just stand by? Therefore, she had returned to the hospital early to be on standby. After checking the message from her second senior sister, Xie Wanying looked up and informed the teachers, “The lab has sent back some results.”

“Has the patient had blood drawn this morning?” asked Wei Tianlang.

“The blood drawn this morning shouldn’t have reached the lab yet,” said Xia Dongxian, who was familiar with the morning procedure for sending out blood.

What results was she referring to?

With all the teachers looking at her, Xie Wanying said, “You might want to specifically ask Doctor Yin. Doctor Yin went to the lab.”

Everyone suddenly realized Yin Fengchun was not at the scene. Logically, with the girl he liked in this condition, he should have been at her bedside, not daring to leave for even a moment.

Faced with the puzzled looks from others, Wei Tianlang candidly replied, “I sent him to rest last night. Perhaps afterward, he calmed down quite a bit.”

Doctor Yin was no longer the inexperienced youngster new to clinical work. Xie Wanying recalled what Senior Cao once said and finally understood the meaning behind the difference between a little boy and a mature, stable man.

A little boy could be gently shy and tenderly affectionate towards a girl, but when encountering trouble, couldn’t even take care of himself. In contrast, a mature man was more practical. Perhaps Doctor Yin wasn’t one for romantic words, but he was clear on how to act in the best interests of the girl he wanted to protect. On one hand, he watched by her bedside; on the other, he was sure to be strategizing on how to save her, not assuming everything was fine post-surgery.
