Chapter 898 - 357: Debating with Professor WeiâSo Youâre Zhou Can
Director Wangâs expression instantly became much more serious after hearing this.
"In such a short time, the child developed symptoms of breathing difficulty, indicating the fish bone punctured the esophagus quite severely. I suggest sending her to the hospital immediately to prevent any unexpected events."
Ordinary people are completely unaware of the dangers involved.
Only doctors with rich practical experience like Zhou Can and Director Wang understand how perilous it can be. There are real cases where small fish bones have taken lives.
"Donât wait for that Professor Wei, hurry and send her to the hospital!"
The uncleâs face fell, looking like a sinner burdened with guilt.
"Did you invite another doctor to come for consultation?" Director Wang asked with a bit of embarrassment.
Logically, since Dr. Zhou Can, who has excellent skills, was already present, he should have been able to handle it properly.
Both Director Wang and Cheng Dazhuang were puzzled as to why Zhou Can was sitting idly and not attending to the little girl.
This was a situation they couldnât directly ask about either.
"Oh, itâs like this, my cousin here is a doctor at the Provincial Childrenâs Hospital. When he looked over the childâs condition, he felt unsure, and out of kindness, called his teacherâs teacher to come to help, who is the aforementioned Professor Wei Zhengru."
The cousin forcefully suppressed his anxiety and explained briefly.
"Ah, I see! No wonder. Professor Wei Zhengru is a well-known expert at the Provincial Childrenâs Hospital, having him personally oversee it would be more secure. But a distant well canât quench a nearby fire, you should hurry and take her to the hospital first!"
Director Wang nodded in understanding.
If the girlâs airway continues to be compressed by the hematoma, she could be in life-threatening danger.
And this could happen in a very short time.
If she were in the hospital, doctors could still take some emergency measures promptly, like performing a tracheotomy or administering oxygen.
In this restaurant, even the most skilled doctor would be helpless without the necessary equipment and surgical tools, ultimately only able to watch the girl die helplessly.
"Heâs here, Professor Wei is here!"
Chen Shangfu, who had been anxiously waiting by the door, saw an old man accompanied by a young man and woman walk in.
He immediately jumped up with joy and ran over to greet them.
Soon he brought Professor Wei over.
Dean Lu smiled and greeted Professor Wei, introducing himself, only to be waved off by Professor Wei, saying, "Whereâs the child? Saving her is more important."
See, this is truly the noble virtue of a doctor, always putting the patient first.
"The childâs here, here, please take a look! Sheâs been choking on a fish bone for over twenty minutes, and now she has trouble breathing!"
The cousin briefly introduced the situation.
"Oh dear, the hematoma is so severe in such a short time; the fish bone must be big and deeply lodged. The childâs tissue is especially tender, and sharp fish bones are even more harmful to them. Looking at this situation, she needs to be rushed to the hospital for surgery."
Professor Wei gave a treatment plan after examining briefly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle wavered, supported by the aunt.
"Old man, old man!"
She quickly retrieved the Heart-saving Pills from the uncleâs jacket pocket and gave them to him.
The uncle, hearing that his granddaughter needed surgery to remove the fish bone, was overwhelmed with remorse and suffered a heart attack.
"Maybe an X-ray can be taken first, and as long as no vital blood vessels are hurt, we can try using a laryngoscope and long-arm clamp to remove the fish bone," Zhou Can suggested.
Every surgery carries risk and causes immense harm to the patient.
He believed that surgery should be avoided if possible.
After all, this little girl was his niece, and no matter how much the uncleâs family underestimated his medical skills, he felt obliged to offer his opinion when necessary.
"The childâs esophagus is particularly tender and narrow in diameter, using long-arm forceps to clamp out the fish bone seems unrealistic."
Professor Wei Zhengru instinctively turned his head to look at Zhou Can, who had spoken.
"As long as the operation is done carefully, it should still be hopeful. As for the childâs esophagus now being swollen, although itâs dangerous, after taking an X-ray, we could consider tracheal intubation depending on the situation. At least it would ensure the airway remains unobstructed, preventing suffocation. The hematoma, as long as addressed timely, usually subsides within twenty-four hours."
Zhou Can appeared young, but his level of expertise, experience, and surgical ability were top-notch.
In discussing treatment plans with a top pediatric expert like Professor Wei Zhengru, he showed no weakness in presence.
"Which hospital are you from, young man? Judging by your demeanor, you shouldnât be a doctor from any of the hospitals in Xin Hai County," Professor Wei Zhengru gave Zhou Can his first earnest appraisal.
Being professionals, they could roughly gauge the opponentâs abilities through some brief exchanges.
During the discussion about the treatment plan, even cousin Chen Shangfu couldnât get a word in, because lacking the level to suggest an opinion.
Including Director Wang, they didnât dare to question Professor Wei Zhengruâs diagnostic insights and treatment plan either.
After all, he was a cardiothoracic surgeon, not at all adept at treating children choking on fish bones.
Without confidence or background knowledge, speaking indiscreetly would only invite ridicule.
Zhou Can dared to express opinions and debate with Professor Wei because, if it came to practical operation, he truly had the capability to handle it.
"I have no intentions of being arrogant or presumptuous, just discussing the matter. I am a junior training doctor at Tuya Hospital."
