Chapter 1271: Chapter 500: Exchange of Interests, The Surgery Is About to Go Wrong (Part 2)
Every month’s salary is an astonishing figure.
The Cardiothoracic Surgery department’s volume of emergency and outpatient services continues to decline, and there are so many mouths to feed, plus the acquisition of land to expand into a new campus. Beneath the surface of brilliance and prosperity, in reality, the crises are lurking everywhere.
A dam a thousand miles long can collapse because of ant holes.
The Third Hospital might collapse as well, perhaps needing only one or two more unfavorable incidents.
Last time, when the Japanese Cardiac experts’ surgery live-streaming failed, it was already adding insult to injury.
Who knows what the leadership of the Third Hospital is thinking?
Look at them now, spending money to hire this streamer to tarnish the Cardiothoracic Surgery department at Tuya Hospital, very likely just holding a mindset of harming others to benefit itself. Because the volume of Cardiothoracic Surgery in the province is limited, tarnishing Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic department will inevitably lead to a decrease in Tuya’s emergency and outpatient services.
By then, a portion of the lost patients will surely be diverted to the Third Hospital.
The Third Hospital itself seized the opportunity when Tuya Hospital’s Director Hu Kan passed away, significantly diminishing its Cardiothoracic Surgery strength, and invited the Japanese Cardiac experts, purchasing a complete set of advanced Japanese surgical equipment, to quickly rise.
In the medical industry, this phenomenon is referred to as a nouveau riche.
This is not meant to belittle them.
By simply digging up a team of Japanese Cardiac experts and purchasing a full set of advanced equipment to build a powerful department, it’s like an overgrown tree. Its foundation is not that solid.
Tuya Hospital has accumulated strength through the efforts of multiple generations, gaining its current standing.
This depth of foundation is something the Third Hospital, with its nouveau riche status, cannot compare to.
Of course, if in the previous few confrontations, the Cardiothoracic Department of Tuya Hospital failed to withstand the pressure and was defeated, that would be another outcome.
The loss of a large number of emergency and outpatient patients would quickly reduce Tuya’s Cardiothoracic Surgery to a third-rate department.
By then, a large group of doctors and nurses would look for new opportunities.
The Third Hospital, because of its victory, would be in the prime of its success, with its business volume surging, just in time to absorb this batch of medical staff from Tuya. Thus completing the whole process of a serpent swallowing an elephant.
But, unfortunately, human calculations are no match for divine ones.
The Cardiothoracic Surgery department at Tuya, with full support and help from Zhou Can, ultimately stumbled through countless challenges.
When two sides clash, if one perseveres, the other will inevitably face major failure.
Currently, the Third Hospital is already showing signs of defeat.
It urgently needs a victory.
Causing Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic department to fail during a surgery live-stream is the victory it most desires right now.
"After discussing with the hospital leadership, we have agreed to let you live-stream. However, there’s a condition: our hospital needs to record it, and later it may be used for promotional purposes. Of course, if promotional material is used, your face will be blurred. If you agree, please sign on this agreement."
The person who came in to talk to the patient was a staff member under Vice Director Ye.
The agreement was likely just drafted moments ago.
It was brought into the intervention room, directly asking the patient to sign consent.
This is to avoid any disputes in the future.
They also calculated that the patient would not refuse.
Because both parties are essentially conducting a benefit exchange, though neither side would openly acknowledge it.
The patient read through the agreement content and, finding no issues, signed it.
If he doesn’t sign, the hospital would certainly not allow him to live-stream the surgery process.
Therefore, this is a benefit exchange.
After signing, the patient excitedly opened his phone to start the live stream.
"Dear family members, sorry for the delay; I’ve been in communication with Tuya Hospital about the live-streaming matters. Finally, I received the hospital’s consent, so everyone now has the chance to watch the entire surgery process. Next, I’ll undergo surgery while live-streaming for everyone, please continue to support Brother Wang!"
During the live stream, the streamer referred to fans as family members, which is just a rhetorical technique.
If you genuinely think the streamer regards you as family, that’s too naive.
The streamer needs to sell products, receive rewards, and various support.
"It has started, it has started!"
"Great! Finally, the live stream has begun; I thought there wouldn’t be a chance to watch it today!"
"Bring in more people!"
Some enthusiastic fans have already started quickly spreading the message in various fan groups and sharing the live stream room.
This patient’s fan influence is extremely powerful, so in a very short time, the number of online viewers exceeded a thousand and was quickly rising.
Because live-streaming the surgery process is inherently something new.
Viewers have a curiosity and, unless extremely busy, are very willing to spend some time to see it.
This results in a very low viewer dropout rate.
Given the current trend, it’s estimated that the number of online viewers for this live-stream will break records.
Reaching over a hundred thousand would not be surprising.
In one of the offices at Third Hospital, Vice Director Zhang was closely monitoring. Because of this, he hadn’t left work yet.
As the hospital’s vice director in charge of operations, every penny spent cannot be wasted.
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain to the hospital.
Now seeing ’Brother Wang’ finally starting the live stream, Vice Director Zhang was as excited as anyone.
"Haha, today I will undoubtedly make a name for myself, directly causing Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department’s online failure, ruining their reputation." The Cardiac Surgery department of the Third Hospital desperately needed a victory.
Vice Director Zhang quickly informed the other major leaders of the hospital, encouraging them to watch together.
Inside the intervention operating room, everything was ready, and Zhou Can began puncturing the patient’s Femoral Artery, then introducing fine guidewires.
For heart vascular intervention surgery, the Femoral Artery is usually the preferred point of entry.
For Zhou Can, who has extensive experience with intervention surgeries, entering the aorta from the Femoral Artery is simply second nature.
The live stream camera was focused on him and the imaging screen in front.
In just 37 seconds, Zhou Can skillfully manipulated the guidewire to reach the blocked No. 1 cardiovascular location.
This blood vessel is crucial; as long as it can be opened, it will immediately help the patient’s heart regain over 70% of its blood flow.
The number of people in the live stream quickly surpassed fifty thousand and was continuing to rise rapidly.
The recommendation rules of TikTok for live streams, one of the most important algorithms, is that online viewers should not drop. Especially for fans with lamp signs not dropping, which carries very high weight.
Seeing the live stream’s viewer count already surpassed fifty thousand, the patient’s face lit up with a smile.
This was his best performance since he started live streaming.
Usually, there are only about ten thousand online viewers, with a rare high performance reaching about thirty thousand, though it quickly drops again.
In any industry, even in the streaming industry, strength reveals itself clearly.
"Oh my god, this young doctor is amazing, taking only 37 seconds from puncture to reaching the cardiovascular blockage, definitely director-level skill."
"Hmph, an average director doesn’t have that level of skill!"
"Seems like Tuya truly isn’t just for show, they indeed have many experts!"
"Nonsense, one of the top-ranked comprehensive strength hospitals in the province, it’s impossible not to have experts."
"You guys clearly don’t know. Since it’s an online live-stream, they’d obviously choose the most skilled intervention surgery doctor to perform!"
...
The comments on the live stream screen were refreshing rapidly.
Among the audience were some professionals from the medical industry, many watching with the intent to learn from the live stream.
Seeing Zhou Can complete the puncture in just over thirty seconds and manipulate the guidewire to reach the cardiovascular blockage, they were astounded.
Since Director Hu Kan’s passing, those in the industry perceived that Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department no longer had real experts.
At this moment, witnessing Zhou Can’s prowess, they realized how shallow they had been before.
"It’s stuck, it’s stuck! Haha, looks like it will fail soon!"
"The vascular calcification appears serious; it’s difficult to penetrate through!"
"Share, share!"
"Sitting and waiting for the failure!"
The onlookers, enjoying the spectacle, were unafraid of escalation and were very eager to see Zhou Can fail during the surgery.
"It’s not working, the vascular calcification is too severe, the guidewire can’t pass through."
Zhou Can’s forehead beaded with fine sweat.
However, puncturing from the Femoral Artery was just the standard surgical approach; he also had a reverse puncture plan prepared.
