My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 46 - 40 Consultation of Four Disciplines
At this moment, the door to the resuscitation room was pushed open, and doctors from the three top-tier departments finally arrived.
Zhou Can turned his head and couldn't help but think to himself, "What a luxurious lineup. Director Tan from Internal Medicine arrived with three doctors. Among them was a top ace from the Neurology Department—Yin Hua, a Chief Physician in Neurology, who has published numerous important papers in core journals. He is reputed to be a gold-medal expert in Neurology, holding a pivotal position in the field of neurological medicine within the country.
He could even sit down and discuss medical theories with the famous neurologists from Imperial Renhe Hospital.
Even Director Tan of the broad Internal Medicine had to show him considerable respect.
The other two, one was a neurologist around 37 or 38 years old, at the chief level. With an elegant demeanor, he carried a natural poise in every movement. The other was the 27 or 28-year-old Gao Jian.
It must be said that outstanding academic accomplishments are indeed highly valued.
Selected to join Internal Medicine, this was just Gao Jian's second day when he was brought by Director Tan to the Emergency Department for an important consultation.
It undoubtedly sent an important signal to everyone that Internal Medicine was preparing to focus on cultivating Gao Jian.
Such treatment was truly enviable.
As Gao Jian entered the resuscitation room, his gaze swept over everyone before naturally falling on Zhou Can.
Others might not know of Zhou Can's abilities, but Gao Jian regarded him as a formidable rival of his lifetime.
After Director Tan came in with the three doctors from Internal Medicine, Director Xie from Surgery also entered with two doctors.
The short and tough-looking old man might not be prepossessing, but he was the pillar of Neurosurgery—Wu Baihe. Known as the peak surgeon in neurosurgery, he had been presiding over the Neurosurgery Department for many years, commanding respect in the field of neurosurgery nationwide.
Without exaggeration, a large part of Tuya Hospital's Neurosurgery Department was built on his accomplishments.
He has personally operated on and cured over a hundred cases of super high difficulty.
Patients from huge cities like Beijing and Shanghai have sought him out for treatment because of his reputation.
Following behind Wu Baihe was the returned scholar from overseas, Du Leng.
The entire Surgery Department of Tuya Hospital didn't have much academic achievement, which has always been a sore point for Surgery. Having just recruited Du Leng, Wu Baihe took it upon himself to mentor him, apparently aiming to establish Du Leng as a flagship for the Surgery Department.
At least to make the Surgery Department look less 'uncouth.'
Following the Surgery Department's entry were Zhang Bihua and Yang Chan from Obstetrics.
Despite only two people from Obstetrics coming in, one just making up the numbers, Director Zhang Bihua's expertise was sufficient to equal several chief physicians. She was one of the few chief physicians with accomplishments in both medical skills and academic fields.

As her disciple, coupled with her own super high attractiveness, Yang Chan was also in the spotlight.
"Director Lou, please introduce the patient's condition to everyone!"
Director Xie said unceremoniously.
Departments at times are like countries; the stronger the department's power, the more say they have.
With the Emergency Department being weak in strength, poor at generating revenue, and lacking academic achievements, they naturally receive disdain from other departments.
This contempt directly manifests in unequal dialogues.
For instance, Director Xie using such a semi-commanding tone in front of everyone to have Director Lou do introductions.
Not even bothering with pleasantries.
If it were Director Tan from the significant Internal Medicine, would he dare to be this impolite?
"I am the first attending physician for this patient; let me introduce the situation to everyone!"
Deputy Director Han stepped forward at this critical juncture.
Taking the place of Director Lou for the introduction.
This also protected the Emergency Department's dignity.
What would it look like for a head of a department to be ordered around by other department heads?
When facing the insult from other departments, the Emergency Department showed exceptional unity.
"The patient is a 36-year-old pregnant woman, her first pregnancy…"
Deputy Director Han briefly introduced the pregnant woman's condition.
Some important information was only supplemented after Zhou Can had an in-depth conversation with the patient's family.
"Your team has been treating the patient for a while now, yet there are no substantial diagnostic suggestions?"
Director Yin of the Neurology Department in Internal Medicine, spoke quite bluntly.
His words were indeed a blow to the pride of the Emergency Department.
"Uh... So far, we've only discovered that the fetus is in grave danger, and we suspect that the cause of the pregnant woman's fainting is hypertensive encephalopathy." Deputy Director Han felt deeply ashamed and dared not look anyone in the eye.
All chiefs in their own right, the gap between him and Yin Hua was more than just a little.
"It's not hypertensive encephalopathy."
After hearing this, Yin Hua directly rejected Deputy Director Han's diagnostic suggestion.
He didn't even bother to explain the reasons for his rejection.
"The patient has had hypertension for over fifteen years, which has inevitably led to some pathological changes in her body. For example, left ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular dilation, arteriosclerosis, and so on. Among these, arteriosclerosis is the most fatal. Based on the results of the head CT scan, I personally lean toward a diagnosis of intracranial vascular malformation causing the fainting."
Yin Hua's work efficiency was truly high.
His level was obviously far superior to a 'watery' chief physician like Deputy Director Han.
"The fetal heart rate is now only 100, which is 10 below the lowest standard of the international normal range. This situation indicates fetal hypoxia; decisive actions must be taken, or the child may survive but could potentially become a mentally disabled infant."
After a rapid assessment of the pregnant woman, Zhang Bihua immediately provided precise advice on fetal protection.
Without comparison, one cannot discern levels of expertise.
Tuya Hospital's most top-tier experts arrived on scene, and the situation immediately improved.
Much more useful than the Emergency Department team's blind fumblings.
Having a specific target is the only way to ensure accuracy.
This principle applies to the treatment of diseases as well.
Treatments targeted at specific symptoms are only effective when appropriately matched.
The Obstetrics and Internal Medicine departments successively gave their diagnostic and therapeutic suggestions. Particularly noteworthy, Director Zhang Bihua had already started fetal protection procedures with Yang Chan.
Director Xie from the Surgery Department was a man who cared greatly about face; leading three people over, he couldn't just freeload, could he?
However, diagnosing such diseases with invisible lesions was not his forte.
Speaking out of turn would only result in embarrassing himself.
Du Leng, following behind, seemed to discern Director Xie's embarrassment. After reviewing the patient's records, he confidently stated, "It's not a vascular malformation but rather an arterial aneurysm. Moreover, this aneurysm is located in the brainstem area."
This amounted to overturning the diagnostic conclusion of Neurology Chief, Director Yin.
And he was just a residency-trained doctor.
The entire room was shocked.
All eyes naturally turned towards him.
The department chiefs all came up with the same thought—this is the returnee Ph.D. with well-deserved reputation. He had barely started working for a few days and was already challenging Director Yin, the top expert in neurology.
"An aneurysm is a type of vascular malformation as well! Dr. Du, could you please explain your diagnostic basis? The patient's condition cannot afford further delay; we need to come up with a specific and feasible treatment plan as soon as possible."
Director Tan spoke up to relieve Director Yin of his embarrassment.
However, the diagnostic conclusions of both Director Yin and Du Leng pointed toward intracranial vessels, so they shouldn't be wrong.
After all, one is a highly experienced chief physician in neurology, and the other is a wide-read and knowledgeable medical prodigy.
"Ha ha, great minds think alike. Du Leng and Director Yin's views are quite similar, but Du Leng's diagnosis is more precise. Overseas medical science really is more advanced! Du Leng, please explain it thoroughly to the other directors!"
Director Xie felt honored with the standout performance of the resident he had brought along.
Surgery had never had such a shining moment in multi-disciplinary consultations.
Director Xie felt even more convinced that choosing Du Leng as the first resident to join Surgery was the correct decision.
He believed that none of the other residents from the same period could hold a candle to Du Leng.
