Chapter 517: Chapter 470: The Super Group Crosses East_2

"We will certainly cooperate; we lost control in the heat of the moment. Please forgive us." The female driver’s father apologized.

"Professor Huang, shall we go to the ICU together? To offer some guidance for postoperative treatment." Yang Ping didn’t want to waste too much time.

Huang Zhong had the same idea: "Alright, let’s go together."

Since he was there, entrusted by others, it was his responsibility to visit the injured in the ICU. It was very necessary.

The trauma ICU at Sanbo Hospital is busy every day, an integral part of the Trauma Emergency Center, where almost all critical patients, whether preoperative or postoperative, have to spend some time.

Thanks to the efforts of the blood station, the subsequent supply of AB-type blood was timely. The student on whom Yang Ping was the chief surgeon now had stable vital signs.

Repeated tests, such as red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and so on, were all on the rise.

This suggested that the bleeding had been thoroughly stopped, and the transfused blood was not being lost again.

The female driver was not so lucky; she was still relying on ECMO to maintain her life. Some vital organs had suffered from cellular necrosis due to hypoxia, and after a blood transfusion, ischemia-reperfusion injury could occur. Therefore, even if she could pull through the critical period, it would leave some serious sequelae.

"This is the second time! Last year, she drank and drove a BMW, rushing into a crowd and colliding with a tree, injuring no one but herself, breaking bones all over her body. I did the surgery. A young girl, lawless and reckless! This time, she deserves it." Upon hearing it was drunk driving again, Huang Zhong was enraged. This kind of behavior was completely indifferent to life.

"This time she hit six people, one of them died on the spot, and the other five were severely injured. Some had to have limbs amputated, some had to have the spleen and liver removed, and some had to undergo craniotomy---"

Dr. Lv from the emergency department also came to understand the postoperative conditions of the patients, speaking in the crowd.

"Anyone without reverence is bound to run into trouble eventually."

Huang Zhong glanced at the amount of urine in the bag. There wasn’t much.

"Acute renal dysfunction, observing closely. If there is no improvement after blood transfusion and rehydration, I’m afraid the situation is not good. Haemofiltration might have to be initiated at bedside." The ICU’s Director Pan said, frowning.

Once renal failure occurs, it may lead to multiple organ failure, with the body’s functions collapsing like a domino effect.

"Hyperkalemia, high creatinine levels, troublesome!"

Director Pan asked a doctor to display the newest blood test results on the bedside screen.

"After so much blood transfusion, poor kidney function will definitely lead to high potassium. Get ready for bedside haemofiltration." The veteran of the ICU, Director Pan, was unimpressed.

The patients admitted here were all on the brink of death’s door.

Both ECMO and bedside hemofiltration were being used simultaneously. This was truly a life-and-death situation.

"Director Pan, bed 7’s heartbeat has stopped. They’re trying to resuscitate."

A young doctor ran over to inform Director Pan.

"If it needs rescuing, then rescue. What’s all the yelling about? I’ll go take a look." Director Pan kept his calm; rescues happened every day here.

The one who had just shouted for Director Pan was a standardized training student, who was new to the trauma ICU. His mentor was busy with the rescue and had instructed him to call Director Pan. He was scared and shouting.

This was a traffic accident patient who had been admitted a few days ago, with a pancreatic injury leading to hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis.

"Dr. Yang, you’re busy. I’ll go back first. If you have time, please drop by our place. Professor Su often misses you." Huang Zhong also had many things to do and couldn’t stay long. It was enough to fulfill his duty.

"Let me see you off." Yang Ping asked Song Zimo to stay and explain the postoperative precautions to the ICU doctors while he escorted Professor Huang out.

The two of them exited the ICU, followed by two other experts from their hospital.

Just as they came out of the ICU, the female driver’s father was waiting at the door: "Professor Huang, shall I send someone to take you back?"

"No need to trouble yourself, I can get back myself." Professor Huang declined.

Not long ago, in a state of emergency, a helicopter had been used to transport Huang Zhong to Sanbo Hospital. Now, without the urgency of saving a life, using a helicopter again would be a waste of resources.

"No, we insist on driving you home." The female driver’s father signaled, and the secretary next to him understood immediately, leading the way.

"Regarding the trip to Japan, I hope you are well prepared. This is a significant matter, and both sides have a big lineup. The competition will be intense because this is about the academic dominance in the Asia-Pacific region. I have seen the subject of your speech, it’s very good, covering topics like spine, trauma, joints and sports medicine, bone tumors, etc., all of which are heavyweights. There will also be discussions on challenging cases at the conference, which is a very critical part. You must be well-prepared and not underestimate them since they have the home advantage." Huang Zhong advised Yang Ping while waiting for the elevator.

"Thank you for reminding me, Professor Huang."

Yang Ping escorted Huang Zhong to his car. On the way, Huang Zhong reminded Yang Ping time and again about the necessity of thorough preparations, especially reading the recent top international journals to grasp the latest knowledge, which could be very useful in case discussion.

As a matter of fact, Yang Ping was able to recite almost all of those journals.

He often reads in the library of the system space. He immediately gets familiar with all the new issues of the journals and quickly grasps the knowledge therein.

Now, he was pondering whether he should bring his team to Japan.

Ning Qi’s brother couldn’t be airlifted for his surgery, which had to be done in Japan.

Such a high-risk surgery could easily fail even with the slightest problem.

Surgery is a team action. A temporary surgical team can easily reduce the effectiveness of the surgery due to their lack of coordination.

"So, are you thinking about taking me with you?"

Returning to his department, Song Zimo joked.

"You’re quite confident, huh?" Yang Ping was surprised. He had guessed his thoughts.

Song Zimo asserted, "I bet you can’t find a qualified assistant like me in all of Japan."

That statement seemed flawless.

"The surgery on Ning Qi’s brother must be performed in Japan, and I’ve been wondering how to arrange the staffing." Yang Ping disclosed his current thoughts.

That’s when Little Five and Zhang Lin arrived.

"Take us with you! What do you think, Wanna make a deal? Could you find a more qualified deal-maker in all of Japan? Not bragging here, but we are about to publish a book." Zhang Lin joined the conversation.

Little Five also chimed in eagerly, "A thousand days to train an army for one crucial moment. The more high-risk the surgery, the more important it is to seal the deal. Let the Japanese seal the deal, and a slight tremor of the hand spells disaster!"

"No need to think too much about it, obviously our star team should set out to Japan, all the way unimpeded!"

Apparently, Fatty also joined the group discussion and made a pushing forward gesture.

"What about things at home if everyone goes?" Yang Ping worried.

Zhang Lin replied relaxedly, "Xu - stutter!"

Turning to see, Xu Zhiliang had just walked in.

Zhang Lin forcibly stopped himself from uttering the word "stutter" and said instead, "Professor Xu, he says he won’t go. He says he won’t step out of Sanbo for three years."

"A strongman guards the pass, vanquishing all foes. With General Xu holding the fort, leading under him Li Guodong, the land is safe!"

Little Five was worried that he and Zhang Lin might be left behind.

"Let me think about it, General Xu, come, let’s discuss this." Yang Ping beckoned.

Now the doctors in the department privately called Xu Zhiliang "General Xu." It was said that once during a nap in the duty room, Xu Zhiliang was speaking in his sleep, repeatedly saying "check, check, check..."

When others asked him about it later when he woke up, he said he was dreaming about playing chess with Song Zimo, where he was about to call "check," but the chess piece was nailed to the board and couldn’t be moved. He was sweating profusely due to the pressure from the dream.

Yang Ping thought the nickname was quite fitting, so he also started calling him "General Xu."
