When Zhou Chen came to the emergency room, he saw Zhou Xiaofeng taking Zhang Zhen to see the patient's film.
In addition to them, there was a man and a woman in the emergency room, probably a mother and her son. The mother was comforting the patient, her face full of worry and tension.
"Director Zhou."
Zhou Chen nodded towards Zhang Zhen, and then walked to Zhou Xiaofeng's side.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Xiaofeng said: "There is a huge coronary aneurysm. There is no problem on the electrocardiogram. The echocardiogram shows left atrial compression. We give him 20 mg of furosemide."
As the leader of the coronary group, his group is generally responsible for heart diseases related to coronary artery. However, several deputy chief physicians of the cardiac surgery department in his group do not have time now, so he can only call on Zhou Chen.
.
As soon as he heard that it was this symptom, and then took a look at the mother and son, Zhou Chen understood what was going on.
He was quite surprised after watching the film, because such a large coronary artery aneurysm is really very rare.
"Song Xingyan is twenty years old. This is the examination he had at the Second Hospital." Zhang Zhen on the side said to Zhou Chen.
After Zhou Chen watched the film, he turned to Song Xingyan's mother and asked, "What symptoms does he usually have?"
Song Xingyan's mother hurriedly replied: "He often has chest pain, palpitations, and difficulty breathing."
"How long did it last?"
"It's been thirteen or four months. We didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking it was hypoglycemia. Because he had no past medical history, the doctor didn't think of heart problems at first. We also consulted several hospitals, and they all said
I have never seen or even heard of such a large coronary aneurysm, and the location is not good, so I dare not operate."
"I originally wanted to take him to the capital to see a doctor next week, but I didn't expect that he suddenly fainted just now."
Zhou Chen nodded. He knew the suffering of this mother. One of her twin sons died due to an allergy to metronidazole, and now the other has this disease. An ordinary woman would probably not be able to bear this situation.
, collapsed.
After living for so many years, although he has long been no longer a very sympathetic person, he will inevitably feel sorry for his mother when he sees her like this.
"Your son's condition is very rare, but you don't have to worry too much. His life is not in danger for the time being."
Song Xingyan's mother comforted her son and said with a sad face: "The director of the Second Hospital said that in the entire Dongjiang, except for Director Zhou and Director Lin of the Heart Center of Dongli Hospital, there is probably no doctor who dares to perform this surgery, so we transferred here.
, Director Zhou, you..."
Zhou Chen understood what she meant and said softly: "His situation is very special, but don't worry, let's arrange for him to stay here first, and then do another coronary angiography."
Song Xingyan’s mother said: “We just did it in the Second Hospital.”
Zhou Xiaofeng on the side explained in a soft voice: "The results of coronary angiography are based on the experience of the technicians and doctors who performed the operation at the time. The subjective factors are relatively large. In addition, we also need some supplementary information to help us understand the condition more comprehensively."
Song Xingyan's mother heard this, but did not answer. Instead, she looked at Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen nodded, she agreed.
"Okay, let's do it."
Before transferring to another hospital, she had already learned about Zhou Chen's condition from the familiar chief physician of the Second Hospital, so when she came to Dongli Hospital, her first choice was to see Zhou Chen.
At this stage, Lin Yi is quite famous in Dongjiang, but if you really want to say it, he is still slightly inferior to Zhou Chen who came back from Fuwai Hospital.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Xiaofeng took Song Xingyan and her son to the radiology department for angiography. Zhou Xiaofeng also asked Director Wang of the radiology department for help.
On the way the two left the radiology department, Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask Zhou Chen: "Director Zhou, what do you think of Song Xingyan's situation? Can it be opened?"
Zhou Chen replied: "General aneurysms are only five centimeters in size. Song Xingyan's is almost nine centimeters, and there is already a large amount of abdominal wall thrombus. It is quite difficult, but it can still be opened. In this case
If we don't open it and continue to delay it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhou Xiaofeng said: "A coronary artery aneurysm of this magnitude requires consultation at the heart center."
"Okay, you are the leader of the coronary team, so you can arrange the consultation."
"I arrange it?"
Zhou Xiaofeng pointed at himself in astonishment. In his opinion, although he was the leader of the coronary group, his rank was not as high as Zhou Chen's. Moreover, Song Xingyan's mother also came to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen also took over the patient Song Xingyan. Even for consultation,
Zhou Chen should take the lead.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Yes, you are the leader of the coronary team. Teacher Cui praised you a lot and asked us to cooperate more. I have only been in the heart center for less than two months and I don't even recognize the staff.
It is more reliable to leave such complicated matters as consultation to you than to me."
"But"
"It's nothing, it's settled. You arrange the consultation. If you need me to participate, just call me. I don't think Song Xingyan will be in this situation for long. You have to prepare for everything in advance and fight a well-prepared battle."
.”
Seeing Zhou Chen's resolute attitude, Zhou Xiaofeng said nothing more and nodded towards Zhou Chen.
"Okay, I will be responsible for the consultation."
Zhou Xiaofeng is very efficient and the consultation was completed quickly.
The day after Song Xingyan settled in, Zhou Chen and Zhou Xiaofeng called Song Xingyan's mother and explained to her the risks of the operation.
Although Zhou Chen has reached a certain level of surgical skills in cardiac surgery and is very confident, he is still very cautious in his actions. No matter what kind of operation it is and how confident it is, he will honestly explain it to the patient and family members before the operation.
As long as there is no conflict between doctors and patients, it would be best if there is no conflict.
In the office, Song Xingyan's mother listened to the two explanations, her breathing became obviously disordered, and she looked at Zhou Chen nervously.
"Director Zhou, what you are saying is that if an operation is performed, Xingyan may not be able to get off the operating table, or that even if the operation is successful, it will be very dangerous after the operation?"
"right."
Zhou Chen did not hesitate and answered directly, but then added another sentence.
"But you can rest assured that I will do my best for Xingyan's surgery."
Song Xingyan's mother hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let Zhou Chen do the surgery, and gave her a final warning.
"Director Zhou, my son is allergic to metronidazole."
Others may not understand why she said this in particular, but Zhou Chen understood. He replied solemnly: "I understand, Xingyan mother, don't worry, I will inform the bedside doctor and nurse about Xingyan's metronidazole allergy."
, you will never use wrong metronidazole.”
After hearing Zhou Chen's assurance and looking at Zhou Chen's solemn expression, it was obvious that he had remembered it, Song Xingyan's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Zhou."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Xingyan is allergic to metronidazole. We will keep it in mind."
After sending Song Xingyan's mother away, Zhou Xiaofeng, who was careful and sensitive, asked Zhou Chen quite puzzledly: "I see you just talked about metronidazole so seriously, is there any reason?"
"Of course, Song Xingyan had a twin brother who died of metronidazole allergy, and he was in Dongli Hospital. You can check it out, and then you will understand why his mother is so concerned about metronidazole allergy."
Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly looked startled when he heard this.
"One of his sons died of an allergy to metronidazole in Dongli Hospital, and now she brings her eldest son to our hospital?"
"This is the greatness of maternal love. She may be full of grief about this place, but for the sake of her eldest son, she is still willing to put aside these emotions, tsk."
Zhou Chen sighed, and Zhou Xiaofeng was dumbfounded. Think about it for a moment. If it were him, if his child died in an accident in Dongli Hospital, he would definitely not bring another dying son here for treatment.
"Song Xingyan's mother, she..."
"So, we must save Song Xingyan's life no matter what."
After knowing this, Zhou Xiaofeng once again found the doctor in charge of Song Xingyan and several nurses, and emphasized Song Xingyan's allergy to metronidazole.
Zhou Chen knew that Song Xingyan's condition would suddenly worsen while he was hospitalized, so he would always keep an eye on Song Xingyan while at work. In the morning and afternoon, he would go for a walk even after get off work.
It is precisely because of his concern that makes Song Xingyan's mother feel more at ease. Now she only has one son, Song Xingyan. She regards him as more important than her own life, so she never leaves Song Xingyan while he is hospitalized.
, kept staring.
Before Song Xingyan's condition worsened, Zhou Chen performed surgery on him first.
Before the operating room, Song Xingyan's mother sent Song Xingyan into the operating room. She could no longer hold back her tears and held Zhou Chen's hand tightly.
"Director Zhou, Xingyan..."
Zhou Chen patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I guarantee that the operation will be successful and Xingyan will live a healthy life."
Song Xingyan's condition this time is quite special, and the heart center also attaches great importance to it and prepares it as a special case, so it is fully prepared before and after the operation.
Even Cui Jing and others paid special attention to this operation. Soon after it started, they gathered together to watch Zhou Chen's operation.
This operation took Zhou Chen just over four hours. It was one of the longer operations among the many operations he performed. Because this operation involved too many details, it particularly tested patience and skills, so the time consumed was naturally long.
longer.
The operation was successfully completed. When Zhou Chen walked out of the operating room, he saw Song Xingyan's mother rushing over.
"Director Zhou, Xingyan."
"The operation went well."
"Very good."
Song Xingyan's mother burst into tears of excitement. Her whole body seemed to have become stronger. She grabbed Zhou Chen's hand with all her strength and bowed to Zhou Chen.
"Director Zhou, thank you, thank you for saving Xingyan."
"Xingyan's mother, there's no need to be like this. This is what I should do. When Xingyan comes out, take good care of him."
…………
A few days after Song Xingyan's surgery, Cui Jing called Zhou Chen to the office.
"Zhou Chen, in a few days there will be the Golden Autumn Expert Forum of the Heart Center of our hospital. I asked you to do a case report on Song Xingyan's huge coronary aneurysm before, just because I wanted you to give a speech at the forum. When the time comes, I will
Many industry experts will participate, which is also a good opportunity for you to gain a foothold in the Dongjiang medical community."
She was doing it for Zhou Chen's good, but she didn't expect that Zhou Chen would refuse her right away.
"Teacher Cui, forget about letting me go on stage to give a speech. I don't want to be in the limelight, so you should find someone else."
"Substitute someone else? What are you thinking about? What a great opportunity this is. No one else can ask for it. It would be better for you to ask me to replace you with someone else. Who should I replace you with? You did the operation from beginning to end. Who can compare with you?"
Do you know more about Song Xingyan’s situation?”
"Zhou Xiaofeng, he was the one who treated Song Xingyan from the beginning, and he also dealt with Song Xingyan's situation with me later. Except that he didn't go to the operating table with me, he understood everything else; and he is the focus of our heart center's training
I think he really wants to get into management, so I’ll give him this opportunity.”
After Cui Jing heard this, her expression was slightly startled.
"You gave up such a good opportunity just because you said you would?"
Zhou Chen shrugged and said: "Otherwise, Teacher Cui, you should understand me. If I care so much about my reputation, I will have more opportunities whether I stay in the capital or go abroad than when I return to Dongjiang. To be honest,
If you have time to speak on stage, you might as well arrange an operation for me, that would be more practical."
This is indeed his true thought. He really doesn't care about a small expert forum. The 10,000 surgeries in the main mission are still far away. If you have that time, it is better to do one surgery. If it doesn't work, go back.
It’s more comfortable to lie down at home and play with your phone.
"You, you, you are really..."
Seeing Zhou Chen's lazy look, Cui Jing was really helpless. She wanted to flatter Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen himself didn't want to make progress. What could she do?
Although she is also a surgeon, she also feels that she cannot just be a doctor who treats patients and saves people. If there is a chance, she should develop into a management team.
It's just obvious that Zhou Chenzhi is not here.
"You really don't want to go?"
"Not going."
"Okay, let Xiaofeng go, but you have to integrate all the information and hand it over to Xiaofeng when the time comes."
"no problem."
In the afternoon after returning from Cui Jing's place, Zhou Xiaofeng came to Zhou Chen's office to look for him.
"Director Zhou, Dean Cui asked me to come here to see you about the expert forum?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "You're here just in time. I've just finished the information. Add a WeChat message and I'll send it to you now."
When Zhou Chen was distributing information, Zhou Xiaofeng asked hesitantly: "Director Zhou, the case of giant coronary aneurysm should be handled by you..."
"Stop, stop, stop talking, Director Xiaofeng, you may not know me very well. In fact, I prefer going to the operating table than doing these things. You don't have to feel that you owe me. This is a matter of choice, not to mention Song Xingyan
, you have always been responsible, and you are the person who knows the situation best besides me."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "So, there is no problem at all for you to speak."
Seeing Zhou Chen's attitude, Zhou Xiaofeng didn't know what to say. It turned out that Zhou Chen didn't care at all about what others wanted. While he was grateful, he was also a little depressed.
