My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 51 - 45: Snatching Credit Comes with Risks
"An aneurysm disappearing without surgery? That's quite mystifying."
Director Xie, who has been in surgery for so many years, is encountering this kind of case for the first time.
Maybe it's not the first time.
It's just that due to limited knowledge, if he ever encountered a temporary aneurysm, he treated it like a regular one and solved it surgically.
"Let me see!"
He took the patient's cranial ultrasound images and examined them carefully.
Even though he already knows the aneurysm has disappeared, when he actually sees the situation on the ultrasound images, he still couldn't help but show a face full of shock.
Medicine is just so magical.
There are countless bizarre and peculiar diseases. Even doctors who have practiced medicine for decades often witness various 'miracles.' This is also why doctors often treat the phrase 'live and learn' as their motto.
The sea of medicine is boundless, one can't learn all there is in a lifetime.
"Hehe, I've really gained new insight today."
Director Xie laughed self-deprecatingly and passed the films to the other directors to look at.
After the doctors saw them, they all marveled.
"Alright, filter the pregnant woman's blood and transfuse it back! Uh... remove about 150 milliliters, that's a bit safer."
Director Tan's medical style is as steady as his temperament.
Reducing the transfusion by 150 milliliters will not adversely affect the pregnant woman but can appropriately reduce the blood volume.
It's safer than transfusing it all back.
The pregnant woman was out of danger, everything was progressing in a good direction, and every healthcare worker was especially happy.
The happiest were the doctors and nurses of the Emergency Department.
They had never felt such a sense of pride like today.
Because the biggest contributor to the pregnant woman's recovery was Zhou Can.
He's one of their people from the Emergency Department.
Strength wins respect everywhere.
The directors and doctors of the leading departments will no longer dare to look down upon the Emergency Department.
At this moment, the door to the resuscitation room was pushed open.
A middle-aged male doctor with an extraordinary presence walked in. Along with him, there was an old man around sixty years old and the pregnant woman's mother.
"Yo, Dean Zhu, you're a very busy man, how come you've taken the time to come here yourself!"
Upon seeing this middle-aged male doctor, Director Tan, Director Zhang, and others immediately showed respectful expressions.
They all came forward to greet him.
He was the Dean of Tuya Hospital, around his fifties or so. Perhaps due to working day and night, a severe case of male-pattern baldness had appeared on his head, and the remaining sparse hair had also turned grayish white.
The old man accompanying him looked plain and unadorned but emanated an authoritative presence from his every move that commanded respect.
"I just received a message from Director Xie, saying that the patient's cause of illness had been found and that preparation for treatment was underway. My old leader was worried about his daughter, so I accompanied him to the rescue scene."
Dean Zhu explained with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce, these two are the pregnant woman's parents, who are also my former leaders."
After the introduction, he turned his gaze to the pregnant woman lying on the resuscitation bed and saw that she was receiving a blood transfusion and was awake.
He paused briefly, then his face lit up with joy.
The pregnant woman had awakened from her coma, indicating the resuscitation was effective.
He would be able to explain this to his old leader.
The directors present exchanged meaningful glances after hearing this.
This Old Xie, his credit-grabbing skills are second to none.
Everyone had been staying together, yet nobody knew when he sneaked off to report the good news to Dean Zhu.
"Dad! Mom!"
The pregnant woman also saw her parents entering the resuscitation room and excitedly called out to her loved ones.
"Hehe! My daughter woke up! That's really wonderful!"
The old man exuding an authoritative presence was overjoyed when he heard his daughter's call.
Excited and moved.
The old lady was moved to tears, walking to the bedside and tightly holding her daughter's hand.
Mother and daughter had narrowly avoided eternal separation, and fortunately, after the doctors' efforts, they successfully revived her.
Few people can remain calm after a reunion following a near-death separation.
After the intense excitement and extreme joy pass, it's time to fully release the negative emotions accumulated due to severe worry, sadness, and anxiety.
Crying is the only natural way.
It most genuinely reflects the sincerity of emotions.
Dean Zhu, seeing the old leader's family reunited, felt gratified and it was now time to commend the hero.
"Who is Du Leng?"
The dean asked with a smile.
"That's me!"
Du Leng didn't understand why the dean suddenly called his name.
However, getting familiar with Dean Zhu was definitely a good thing.
Looking at Dean Zhu's smiling face, it certainly wouldn't be a scolding.
Du Leng couldn't help but feel even more expectant.
Dean Zhu looked at Du Leng, who had stepped forward, with eyes brimming with thick praise.
"Truly worthy of a Ph.D. who returned from Johns Hopkins University, indeed a person of great talent and extraordinary presence!"
"You flatter me! It's my good fortune to work at Tuya Hospital under such a wise leader as you," Du Leng's flattery skills were incredibly good.
Spouting such cheesy lines as if it was second nature to him.
Zhou Can, on the other hand, admitted he couldn't do the same.
Because the psychological barrier was too great.
Some people are good at climbing the ranks through flattery, others through genuine talent.
Zhou Can belonged to the latter.
"Director Xie reported that in the pregnant woman's rescue operation, you played a crucial role and made a key contribution, is that correct?"
The dean's smile became even warmer.
Du Leng's obsequiously smiling face, however, instantly froze.
With his intelligence, he immediately realized that Director Xie might have quietly sought credit with Dean Zhu just as he had diagnosed the pregnant woman's condition as brainstem compression by an aneurysm.
But man proposes, God disposes.
There had been a significant reversal in the situation.
Now he had really been put into a dreadful pit.
The misdiagnosis had already stopped being mentioned.
Now that Dean Zhu was preparing to commend him, the matter had to be explained clearly.
It was like being roasted on the fire; how embarrassing it could get was obvious.
"Uh... Er..."
Du Leng was mumbling, trying to figure out how to answer so as not to lose too much face.
"Ha-ha, young Du Leng is not only highly educated and skilled in medicine but also quite modest!" Dean Zhu laughed heartily and praised Du Leng again.
Otherwise, why is the first impression so important?
Dean Zhu thought Du Leng was the great hero and thus had a very good foundational impression of him.
Plus, with Du Leng's dazzling academic credentials, that favorable impression was set to rise even further.
Hence, everything about Du Leng seemed pleasing to the eye, full of merits.
A single beauty masks a hundred flaws; this probably explains it.
"Is this young man the one who saved my daughter?"
The pregnant woman's father also came over.
Life-saving grace, that definitely needed thanks.
"Uh... erm..."
Du Leng was even more embarrassed, nervous sweat beginning to form on his forehead.
Actually, Director Xie was even more embarrassed at the moment.

Sneaking in to claim credit wasn't really a big deal in itself. It not only bolstered the prestige of the surgery department but also supported Du Leng, the newcomer. And the diagnosis was confirmed by Director Yin Hua of neurology and Directors Tan and others had no objections either.
It seemed like a sure thing in every conceivable way.
But who could have expected that the diagnosis took several twists and turns, and Du Leng's earlier diagnosis turned out to be a misdiagnosis.
A huge blunder had been made.
How was he going to explain this to Dean Zhu?
He, a dignified chief of surgery, truly couldn't afford to lose face.
If only one of the chiefs stood up to clarify the situation right now. Although he would still be embarrassed, at least he wouldn't have to face it directly.
Director Xie looked for help toward the other directors.
Unexpectedly, the expressions of these directors were astonishingly unanimous. Either they turned their heads away, or they looked at Du Leng with a smile on their faces as he made a fool of himself. All were watching the free show.
Director Xie understood that these directors were annoyed at him for sneaking in to claim credit, and deliberately let him embarrass himself.
It was indeed a bit underhanded.
Now he was already reaping what he had sown.
