Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Make a Decision Quickly!

“`

The middle-aged strong man, seeing how unpleasant Wang Yong’s words were, instantly became angry!

“What are you saying?”

“As if I deliberately wanted to kill my dad?”

“Do you think everyone is like you doctors? Do we know about these things where we come from?”

The older brother of the man couldn’t help but bark angrily, “Enough! Isn’t this shameful enough?”

Seeing this, the man, even though he was angry, couldn’t help but snort and walked towards the emergency room exit, muttering;

“Fine, you handle it, I’m done!”

Seeing his reaction, the eldest brother was instantly so furious he couldn’t take it.

But this was a hospital, and any more talking would just make them the laughing stock.

Realizing this, the eldest brother sighed, walked over to Chen Cang and Wang Yong, “Ah… Doctor, I’m sorry! We’ve caused you trouble.”

The man was dressed neatly and had an air of refinement about him.

Seeing the man’s good attitude, Wang Yong also calmed down a bit, saying, “No worries.”

To Chen Cang, the eldest brother asked, “Is my father really that serious?”

Chen Cang nodded, “Yes, according to the examination and test results, we must first control the overall symptoms and schedule a surgery.”

After finishing, Chen Cang glanced at Wang Yong, “You take a break, I’ll go check on the patient.”

Seeing this, the eldest brother quickly followed Chen Cang towards the wards.

Wang Yong was a bit emotionally unstable, and Chen Cang hoped he would rest a bit and calm his feelings.

Wang Yong nodded and returned to the office.

After Chen Cang entered, he looked at the elderly man lying on the bed, very tall, making the hospital bed look very small!

Chen Cang estimated that the man must weigh at least two hundred pounds, with a height of over six feet, and even in his eighties, he still maintained this size, and the man was quite stout.

Even as he lay there, one could clearly see his prominently protruding belly.

Wang Yong had been attentive, using cardiac monitoring on the man, but… the situation was still somewhat bad.

The man from earlier simply couldn’t take care of the elderly patient and the hired hospital worker was someone Chen Cang knew. She was an aunt in her early fifties who often did nursing work in the ER. With them around, it was actually more reassuring than having the family members.

Chen Cang said, “Auntie, give me the films.”

The nurse nodded and took out all the completed examinations from the head of the bed.

Chen Cang started reviewing them.

After Wang Yong got back to the office, he cooled down, his anger subsided, and he sat in the chair restlessly, pacing back and forth. After all, he was the elderly patient’s doctor, and considering the man’s advanced age, to tell the truth, not every hospital would definitely admit him.

Relatives… relatives aside, the elderly man was innocent.

After pacing back and forth and thinking for a few minutes, Wang Yong finally let go of his anger.

His anger dissipated, but Wang Yong couldn’t sit still any longer, especially since he had personally admitted the elderly man whose condition was unstable. With this thought,

After comforting himself, Wang Yong quickly stood up and went towards the ward.

Honestly, being a doctor really does require a capacity for emotional regulation, or else it would definitely lead to problems.

When Wang Yong entered the ward, Chen Cang had already reviewed the films and performed a detailed physical examination on the elderly man.

However…

“`

The more Chen Cang understood about the elderly patient’s condition, the more anxious he became!

It seemed the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.

When the elderly man’s eldest son saw Chen Cang’s expression, his face immediately changed.

Dong Qiangsheng couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, how is it?”

Chen Cang looked at the elderly patient and couldn’t help saying, “The situation is a bit special, just like Dr. Wang said. The patient’s gallbladder inflammation has lasted over 72 hours, and now the systemic toxicity symptoms are severe and his condition is very poor. He definitely cannot tolerate a cholecystectomy. What I’m most worried about now is that the patient might go into shock.”

“But according to the current situation, internal medical treatment might be only marginally effective. If we keep going like this, there are bound to be problems.”

Eldest son Dong Qiangsheng immediately frowned slightly, while the second son and third daughter looked at the elderly man with faces full of concern.

Dong Qiangsheng couldn’t help saying, “Doctor, please tell us what we should do now?”

Chen Cang actually felt they could take a risk with the surgery because continuing to delay was definitely problematic, there was no doubt about that.

But could Chen Cang guarantee a successful surgery?

No!

With that thought, Chen Cang did not act impulsively. Instead, he looked at Dong Qiangsheng and said, “How about this: You all take a rest for a while, and I’ll quickly report back to our director and arrange for a case discussion as soon as possible, involving experts from our various departments to discuss the patient’s condition and make a decision quickly, how does that sound?”

Dong Qiangsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Mmm! Then we’ll leave it to you, doctor!”

Chen Cang nodded and left the office together with Wang Yong.

After coming out, Chen Cang called Li Baoshan to report the situation.

Li Baoshan had just finished a surgery and, upon hearing the news, immediately returned to the emergency department, contacted Zhang Youfu, and the head of hematology.

It was already almost twelve o’clock. Li Baoshan hurried back to the emergency department, and without even time to change clothes, he headed straight for the wards.

After inspecting the patient, his face also darkened immediately.

The situation was indeed special!

So, he called the heads of the departments again, urging them to make a decision as quickly as possible.

At half-past twelve, surgical expert Zhang Youfu, Li Baoshan, and others gathered in the office to start discussing.

Now, should they continue with internal medical conservative treatment?

Or, should they arrange for surgery as soon as possible?

If they opt for surgery, who would perform it?

And what type of surgery should be done?

These were all questions.

The patient’s condition was quite special; the difficulty of performing surgery was great because the adhesions in the abdominal cavity were certainly already very severe. A cholecystectomy was simply not possible. To speak frankly, the area surrounding the gallbladder triangle might as well have been rotting. Any separation would surely damage the liver and even the arterial vessels. The condition of the widespread infection inside the abdominal cavity was relatively poor, and one misstep could even lead to loss of life.

Without even considering lunch, Zhang Youfu made a call to also summon Qian Liang over.

The proximity advantage of East General Hospital and Second Provincial Hospital immediately came into play. Qian Liang, having just had lunch, promptly took a taxi over.

After his arrival and learning about the patient’s condition, he too was hesitant to reach a conclusion after some contemplation!

“The patient is too obese, with such a thick layer of fat, and severe adhesions underneath, complications are certain during surgery,” Qian Liang did not pretend to be capable but simply stated the facts, “Right now, we could try a cholecystostomy, but there’s a problem, that is, we might not be able to locate the gallbladder!”

Upon saying this, Qian Liang looked at the family members – the elderly man’s eldest son Dong Qiangsheng – and said, “Now, you need to make a decision. To proceed or not with the surgery. If you proceed, the risks are high, but it could alleviate the condition. If not, the elderly man’s health will only deteriorate further, and the condition will only worsen!”

“To speak unpleasantly, you have already missed the best treatment window, and even worsened the patient’s infection. So… make a decision quickly!”
