Chapter 1201: Chapter 937: Balloon Man

When they saw the fish bone filtered out from the liquid in the suction bottle, adoration filled the eyes of every doctor and nurse in the operating room.

Godlike is truly godlike. How did he know the fish bone was not in the body but in the suction bottle?

In fact, Yang Ping didn’t know whether the fish bone was still inside the body or had already left the patient’s body, but he decided to handle the matter with rigorous attention to detail.

This was no longer a question of skill level, but of whether the approach was meticulous enough.

Director Zhuo and Director Zhou felt like they were learning an invaluable lesson. If they hadn’t found that fish bone, Director Zhou would have assumed it was still inside the body, and the surgery could have only been hastily concluded.

The subsequent arrangements would have proceeded as if the fish bone was still in the body, such as having difficult conversations with the patient and their family, and even dealing with their misunderstandings.

In order to find that fish bone, the patient would have inevitably endured a lot, and undergoing a full-body CT scan would have been unavoidable. If the full-body CT scan had failed to reveal the fish bone, everyone would have racked their brains about what to do next.

After conducting numerous tests and still not finding the fish bone, it would remain an unresolved case, weighing heavily on both the doctors and the patient.

The doctors would worry about where exactly the fish bone was hiding, and whether it might cause severe bleeding, infections, or embolism in the future.

Meanwhile, the patient would constantly worry, having undergone thoracic surgery without the fish bone being found, and with it still inside their body, living every day with a ticking time bomb.

It seemed Professor Yang was not only highly competent but also possessed a seriousness that was rare, showing meticulous analysis even towards a single fish bone.

With the fish bone found, the surgery could finally be deemed a complete success, and Director Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief. Technically, the task was not difficult, but it required an absolutely thorough mentality.

Yang Ping also didn’t know whether the fish bone was still inside the patient or had been removed, but if one was to thoroughly analyze and manage the situation, such action was necessary, as it represented a possibility that could not be overlooked. Ignoring a possibility could lead to a downfall if a low-probability event actually occurred.

Director Zhou couldn’t help but recall an incident involving a classmate who showed swollen lymph nodes in his neck. The first doctor he consulted diagnosed it as inflammation, prescribing anti-inflammatory drugs that temporarily reduced the swelling, though it would return when the medication was stopped. The patient, who studied medicine, then went to a reputable hospital and requested further examination, where a lymph node biopsy suggested inflammation. The doctor assured that the pathological examination was the gold standard.

Still uneasy, the classmate used his connections to consult a very meticulous old professor, who suggested that a biopsy might sometimes fail to reach the lesion, recommending multiple biopsies at several points for a higher chance of reaching the lesion. After five such biopsies, the last test revealed malignant lymphoma, but fortunately, it was in its early stages. The patient immediately underwent surgery to have it removed, and further checks showed no issues afterward.

Therefore, whether one has a meticulous approach can completely change the outcome of a situation.

Yang Ping was planning to go back for lunch, but now with an added surgery, it delayed his lunchtime and he was getting hungry. Dean Chen was hosting, and he insisted on having Yang Ping stay at City People’s Hospital for lunch, which was arranged at a nearby restaurant with Director Zhou, Director Zhuo, and a few other department directors in attendance.

During his time at City People’s Hospital, Yang Ping was just a junior resident, and had left soon after being promoted to attending physician, apart from the orthopedic doctors and nurses, not many other department directors actually knew him. Even when the news of Yang Ping being fired spread through the hospital, doctors with high professional titles from other departments only heard his name.

Not long since he left City People’s Hospital, Yang Ping returned as a specially appointed expert to guide surgery, and now as an Outstanding Young Talent, preparing for academician evaluation, and having published 13 CNS papers and founded the "Medical" journal, his every undertaking was earth-shattering, prompting many department heads at City People’s Hospital to wonder just how extraordinary Yang Ping was.

These newly appointed department heads had been "good coins" previously, always marginalized by the "bad coins," but now that they finally saw the light of day, they inevitably vented about their past during the meal.

As a listener, Yang Ping thought it was good to hear these complaints.

In the middle of the meal, Director Zhuo received a phone call notifying him that the emergency department had received several patients from a car accident, including one with multiple severe fractures, the swelling was significant. The call, from the chief resident of orthopedics, even came with a photo sent via WeChat.

Director Zhuo took one look at the photo, where the entire person, especially the head, looked like a balloon, something he had never seen before. He immediately showed the photo to Yang Ping, who decided they should head over immediately.

They were in the middle of their meal, and Dean Chen felt somewhat embarrassed, but everyone was a doctor, and understanding was implicit.

"Let’s go, let’s have a look!" Yang Ping immediately stood up.

Saving lives was a matter of racing against the clock. Who cared about finishing a meal at a time like this? Yang Ping and the rest hurried to the emergency department of City People’s Hospital, which was conveniently close to the restaurant.
