Chapter 1303: 990 medical god possessed_2

The elderly director chuckled, "Provincial City!"

"Which hospital?"

"Sanbo Hospital!"

"Sanbo Hospital? That’s the Overseas Chinese Hospital, right?"

"Yes, that’s the Overseas Chinese Hospital."

"Xiao Li is currently doing his advanced studies at Sanbo Hospital," Director Zhang added.

"Oh---, studying at Sanbo. You Sanbo Hospital is quite popular now. There’s a young Professor Yang Ping, I heard he has won the Golden Knife Award and was recently named an Outstanding Young Talent? This Professor Yang is not even thirty yet, is he competent, can he really perform surgeries? I heard he is Academician Su’s son-in-law through a swift marriage, is that true?" Director Peng asked while continuing the surgery.

Li Min immediately responded, "Professor Yang is my mentor, his surgical skills are extremely high, arguably world-class."

No one speaks ill of their own mentor; Director Peng remained noncommittal, giving only a faint smile. Not everyone believes the legends about Yang Ping, some still express doubts. Director Peng is one of them. After all, too much fame can attract controversy, especially after his marrying into the Su Family was publicized, it accentuated these suspicions. Whether it is envy or otherwise, there are always a few who will think this way. Particularly since Yang Ping had won the Golden Knife Award in orthopedics, orthopedics doctors generally do not question this, but those from other specialties might. Despite the availability of surgical videos, many couldn’t be bothered to watch, the skepticism remained.

"Your mentor, huh," Director Peng murmured, realizing he needed to be cautious with his words.

In Director Peng’s view, there was an element of exaggeration about Yang Ping: the Su son-in-law, the Su family being a renowned clan in Nandu. To elevate their son-in-law, what couldn’t be orchestrated?

"Have you performed surgeries with him?" Director Peng asked curiously.

"Often. He directly mentors me, but nowadays most of the surgeries are done by other professors under him; he rarely does ordinary surgeries. He usually handles only the more complex, high-risk surgeries," Li Min answered Director Peng’s question truthfully.

He’s young but puts on quite the air, Director Peng thought to himself, though some thoughts remained unspoken. If Li Min weren’t present, they could discuss more openly. With Li Min there, he still had reservations and didn’t dare to fully express his opinions.

"They mentioned setting up an institute; what are they researching?"

Before Director Peng could finish speaking, suddenly, a large amount of blood burst forth from the clean abdominal cavity. What was going on?

Wasn’t there an aortic clamp in place? Even an aortic blockage wasn’t sufficient?

Remaining calm, Director Peng, judging by the color of the blood, speculated it might be a tear in the inferior vena cava: "Major vascular clamp!"

However, taking the major vascular clamp from the instrumental nurse, Director Peng didn’t know where to start. It was all adhesions, where was the rupture, where to block it? Even if blocking it higher up, where was the inferior vena cava now? Director Peng was utterly stumped.

But an expert is an expert, remaining brave in an emergency: "Lots of gauze! Lots of gauze!"

Stuffing in gauze, lots of gauze, using packing and compression to stop the bleeding, it’s a proven method in dealing with emergency bleeding in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, generally the last resort.

From the color of the blood and the manner of bleeding, Li Min judged that there was both arterial and venous blood, likely the aorta had continued to tear along the original tear up and down, and the inferior vena cava had also torn. The tears in the blood vessels were likely to be exactly at the back, hard to detect, both tears likely actively expanding.

This had truly become a major vascular surgery, something Director Peng was completely unable to manage. Only a few hospitals could perform such major vascular surgeries.

With the abdomen filled with gauze, the blood pressure was still plummeting, showing that the packing was futile as copious amounts of blood visibly surged from every gap.

"Transfuse blood! Quick! Transfuse blood!"

Seeing that packing was ineffective, Director Peng panicked, his usual composed expert demeanor gone. It was too sudden, too dangerous.

"Director Peng, may I take a look? We can’t keep going like this, it will cost a life," Li Min said without any reservation.

For Li Min, major vascular surgery was among the "set of surgeries" that Yang Ping required him to master, because encountering such surgeries was rare in township hospitals. However, such surgeries were of a lifesaving nature; if there were such patients nearby and he could perform the surgery, he could save a life. Hence, learning this was part of Yang Ping’s plan for Li Min.

"You want to take a look?" Director Peng did not refuse since he was out of options and utterly bewildered, passively accepting Li Min’s suggestion.

Taking over, Li Min took a couple of seconds to roughly assess the bleeding situation, immediately requesting another clamp from the instrumental nurse, clamping at the uppermost segment of the abdominal aorta, then turning on several suction devices to remove the blood, examining and separating along the aorta downward. His surgical thought process was clear, and his movements extremely skillful. He quickly clarified the extent of the aorta’s tear and also isolated the inferior vena cava, placing a major vascular clamp.

Precise judgment, rapid actions, he quickly managed to stop the bleeding, pulling the patient from danger. Otherwise, with the bleeding like before, the patient was undoubtedly doomed.

"Can we find an artificial blood vessel for major vascular surgery? It’d be even better if we could implant an artificial blood vessel."

Li Min asked Director Peng and Director Zhang.

The two directors thought for a moment. Not to mention a county hospital, even the central hospitals in the city didn’t perform major vascular surgeries; patients had to be sent to the provincial city. How could there be an artificial blood vessel? If they asked suppliers to help procure it, it would take at least several hours to arrive.
