Chapter 488: Can I Try?

Gao Shaojie looked inside. The room was filled with people.

As long as the people in the Interventional Surgery Department did not go on stage, as long as they were good enough, they would all be in the operating room.

It was not just the interventional surgery department. The vascular surgery department Chief stood in the operating room with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.

The appearance of the vascular surgery department meant that once they could not take out the guide wire that was swimming in the blood vessels, they would brace themselves and go on stage to cut open the patient and retrieve the guide wire.

If they really had to go this far… The patient’s life would definitely be uncertain.

Regardless of the vascular surgery’s success or failure, the neurosurgeon’s whole career would be considered ruined.

‘F*ck!’ The elegant Gao Shaojie cursed in his heart.

“Teacher Gao, they saved the patient for the whole night yesterday and performed three cerebral hemorrhage surgeries. I think they’re exhausted,” Li Jianguo explained to the neurosurgeon in a low voice.

However, this explanation was far too weak. At the very least, the patient was lying on the operating table and their fate was still unknown.

Although it seemed like nothing had happened, once the guide wire traveled to the key parts of the body, he could die at any time.

This was equivalent to having a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment in the patient’s body. No one knew when it would do so.

Once it exploded, the doctor and the patient would be smashed into pieces.

In the operating room, two doctors were concentrating on “fishing” out the guide wire. One doctor stood behind them and said something from time to time.

On the LCD screen in the operating room, the two guide wires were entangled together. They kept changing their angles in an attempt to remove the guide wire.

Gao Shaojie did not expect this to happen either. He was in a dilemma.

How was he going to explain this to Zheng Ren?!

The atmosphere in the operating room felt like it had chilled over. It was so oppressive that it caused one’s blood pressure to soar. It was as if blood was about to come out of one’s eyes, mouth, and nose.

“Teacher Gao, let’s do this.” Zheng Ren stood quietly beside Gao Shaojie. He looked at the image on the LCD screen and commented softly.

Gao Shaojie was embarrassed. Actually, there were many things that doctors could not control, such as the situation in front of them.

No one wanted it, but it would happen occasionally.

“Teacher Zheng, I’m really sorry,” Gao Shaojie said apologetically.

“Huh?” A doctor beside him turned to look at Zheng Ren.

Gao Shaojie called him Teacher Zheng. Could he be a professor in the Imperial Capital?

“Old Gao, this is…”

“Old Liu, this is Teacher Zheng. I invited him to do the TIPS surgery.” Gao Shaojie deliberately hid Zheng Ren’s affiliation to Sea City General Hospital.

After all, this was the Provincial Capital. It was the medical center of the entire province, the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University.

To invite a young doctor from Sea City to do the surgery would feel like a joke to them.

“Hello, Teacher Zheng.” Professor Liu who was leading the group politely extended his hand and greeted Zheng Ren.

Professor Liu knew very well who Gao Shaojie was.

To be able to make him call him Teacher Zheng meant that this person definitely had his strengths. As for the TIPS surgery, a portion of the patients had been found by Professor Liu.

Therefore, he was even more curious about what this Teacher Zheng had done to get Gao Shaojie to hire someone to perform the surgery.

Not only did he invite him, but he was also so eager during the process too.

“Hello, Teacher Liu.” Zheng Ren held professor Liu’s hand while saying that softly with a smile.

Professor Liu and Zheng Ren were now face to face, both stunned for a moment.

This person was very young. Although he was wearing a sterile cap and mask, he looked like a young man who was not even 30 years old.

What was Old Gao doing! Why would he call a young man a teacher and invite him to do TIPS surgery? Did he even know what TIPS surgery was?

Professor Liu was puzzled but did not say this out loud.

Moreover, his mind was not in the right state right now. There was a major medical accident on the operating table. Although it had nothing to do with Professor Liu, the feeling of a fox mourning the death of a rabbit and the feeling of an animal hurting something else was particularly clear.

On the LCD screen, the black shadow of the guide wire under the x-ray light seemed to be trying its best to touch the free guide wire. There was a buckle on its head as it tried its best to fasten to the free guide wire.

However, after a winding action, the two guide wires did not bind together. Instead, they separated without any hesitation as the surgeon continued.

The operating room was filled with frustration and disappointment.

The vascular surgery department Chief’s frown deepened. They looked like two old dragons, their faces so gloomy that it seemed like rain was going to fall in the operating room at any second.

On the operating table, the two people who were operating tried again but still failed.

They raised their heads and looked out of the window through the lead-lined glass. Their eyes were filled with disappointment and…despair.

They shook their heads gently, making the atmosphere even more intense.

Medical treatment had its particularities, and mistakes were not allowed.

However, the main controller of medical treatment was only human, so there would definitely be mistakes.

This had always been the paradox since ancient times.

Ordinary, small mistakes were nothing much. Even when the knife, scissors, and gauze were accidentally left in the patient’s body, this was something that was always heard from time to time.

These were all small mistakes.

Once a big mistake appeared, it would cause the patient to die.

For example, the surgery in front of him.

“Little Wang can’t do it.” A person sat on a chair and stared at the LCD screen. He said in a deep voice, “Old Liu, go and try it.”

Professor Liu was a little unwilling but after hesitating for a moment, he still put on his lead apron and went up to the operating stage. How could one just let something like this happen without trying their best and regretting it for the rest of their life?

At this moment, he was going to try his best to save the surgery, regardless of whether it succeeded or not. In the future, if something happened to him, he did not expect anyone to save him. As long as he did not add insult to injury, he would be fine.

“This is the medical service department’s Chief,” Gao Shaojie introduced Zheng Ren in a low voice.

Zheng Ren nodded. His arms were crossed, his right hand supporting his cheek. He was closely examining the surgical image.

Professor Liu brought his assistant and replaced the surgeon and assistant on the stage.

The surgeon walked into the operating room and did not say anything. He squatted down, leaned his back against the wall, and buried his head.

The assistant took off his lead apron. His entire body was drenched in sweat. He was tired and nervous.

He looked dejected and stood beside the Medical Service Chief like a student who had made a mistake.

He wanted to argue but could not say a word.

The Medical Affairs Department Chief did not even look at him. He stared at the LCD screen and said calmly, “Chief Chen, if Chief Liu can’t take it out, you can scrub your hands and perform the operation.”

The vascular department’s Chief who had been staring at the operating table sighed and said, “The chances of the wire being taken out successfully is so slim.”

“I know.”

“I need to talk to the patient’s family first and give them an explanation before the operation,” said Chief Chen of the Academic Affairs Department.

“If Chief Liu can’t take it out, let’s go together,” said the Medical Affairs Department Chief.

There was no other way.

Before the guide wire entered the coronary and cerebral artery, they had to settle it as best as they could.

If they really could not get out of the situation, they would have already done their best.

As for the future… Everyone present was a veteran doctor. Who could not possibly know what this meant?

Professor Liu’s standard was one of the best in the Department of Interventional Medicine. If he could not do it, the same results would be garnered if Gao Shaojie went up instead.

The atmosphere in the operating room seemed to have frozen over. It felt difficult to even breathe.

No one complained. Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces. In the end, they all looked at the LCD screen.

Failure!

Failure!

Fail!

Half an hour had passed, and Professor Liu had tried six times, all in vain.

The Medical Department Chief was helpless as he stood up and said, “Old Chen, let’s go. We need to go and explain the operation.”

“Teacher Gao, can I try?”
