Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 1595: Beyond His Expectations
Zhang Huayao waved his hand, letting all the doctors who followed him disperse to do their own work. šš³šššš¦š£šÆā“š£š¦š.š¤šš
The other doctors unknowingly followed behind him, noticing his uncharacteristic silence after seeing Xiao Shugang. This might mean the patientās condition is quite tricky, and they all wanted to hear what insights the Boss has.
Zhang Huayao didnāt have time to give lectures to the doctors below him. He waved them away, only calling out: "Dr. Shi."
Shilei, who had come to take over the shift, heard this, stepped forward, followed into the directorās office, and closed the door. Knowing what the leader wanted to ask, Shilei proactively said, "I didnāt see this patient last night. Yesterday, I went to the airport to receive another patient; this patientās medical records were handed directly to Dr. Shim and belong to the internal medicine department."
"Hmm." Zhang Huayao touched the inside of his white coat, seeming to ponder something.
Shilei continued with his observations from the scene, "I feel Dr. Shim is not very confident, otherwise he wouldnāt have suggested doing two days of tests first."
If the doctor were confident, the patient could prepare to go directly to the operating room to solve the issue after getting off the plane.
"Director Zhang, why not call Dr. Shim?" Shilei, not fully understanding the patientās situation, could only suggest this.
"Why call him?" Zhang Huayao lazily replied.
Shilei thought: Exactly, if a call were to be made, it should be Dr. Shim Youhuan calling proactively; thereās no reason for the leader to initiate the call.
Zhang Huayao wasnāt thinking about this. There was nothing wrong with calling Shim Youhuan; after all, they are both doctors, and itās necessary to call if needed. The problem now is that calling Shim Youhuan is not the key to solving the issue. The key lies with Student Xie.
It was surprising, seeing her cousinās medical record today. He had thought her cousin came to Guo Zhi Hospital seeking life-saving measures, but found he was here looking for a cure.
This Student Xie is quite interesting. As for a medical student, generally speaking, who dares to dream of getting it done in one step? Saving a life comes first; thatās the first step for a doctor. Bring the patientās life back before daring to think about anything else.
As for sequelae, those are too common clinically. Most doctors donāt have the technical level to treat patients thoroughly. Even the Boss occasionally has one or two cases go wrong, nothing much to talk about. When sequelae occur, you can only try your best to patch things up. To patch up, you always have to know where the problem is first.
Clinically, thereās often a need to retrospectively discuss complex cases because doctors are clear-minded. When each case is carefully recalled and thought through, you can always find some issues that werenāt perfectly handled in the early stages of treatment. These issues certainly donāt count as medical errors; doctors following the treatment guidelines are not breaking the law; it can only be said that the patientās luck wasnāt good enough to meet a doctor lacking the necessary technical skills.
How did Xiao Shugangās situation occur at the Provincial Peopleās Hospital?
Shilei, who had previously glanced at Xiao Shugangās discharge summary from the previous hospital, said, "I guess the first surgery wasnāt done well; they didnāt discover the heart problem in time to address it together, leading to the current dilemma. The problem is caused by multiple aspects. Before the surgery, there wasnāt an accurate evaluation of the patientās injuries. The CT room needs to shoulder this responsibility together. Perhaps thatās why Dr. Shim doesnāt quite trust the examination results from the other side and feels rechecking needs to be done in our hospital."
Diagnostic errors that mislead clinical judgments often happen, making it impossible to patch things up. Therefore, the waiver clause for the auxiliary department always states: Clinical doctors must make specific judgments in combination with clinical symptoms; examination results can only be used as a reference.
