Chapter 1294: Chapter 510: Sudden Unexpected Danger, Everything Is Ready_2

Although Zhou Can’s rank isn’t high, even Deputy Director Miao has to listen to him at this critical moment of saving a life.

It’s not just Director Miao, who recently obtained the rank of deputy chief physician, but even Director Xue Yan and Director Le would likely defer to Zhou Can’s opinion.

Strength is always the strongest trump card in determining status.

Absolute bed rest is generally used more for handling lower limb deep vein thrombosis.

The purpose of this is to prevent the thrombus from becoming dislodged and traveling to other areas, which could pose a severe threat to the patient’s life.

At this moment, however, it is to prevent the patient’s bleeding from expanding as much as possible.

At this time, Director Xue Yan received the news and hurried over.

"How is the patient’s condition?"

She asked nervously.

The more critical the moment, the more tense her nerves become.

Winning a territory is difficult; defending it is even harder.

Director Xue Yan has suffered major setbacks and endured many blows, which have given her a steadiness beyond her forty-odd years.

This is also the mindset and cultivation a department director should have.

"The bleeding is not severe for the moment, and the chance of it stopping automatically is quite small. What I’m most afraid of is the bleeding expanding; if that happens, we’ll be extremely passive, and the patient’s life could be lost in a very short time."

Zhou Can said worriedly.

Having rescued numerous aortic dissection patients, Zhou Can deeply understands how dangerous this disease is.

Moreover, the aortic dissection in this patient is terrifyingly large.

If it fully ruptures, it could drain all the blood in the body within twenty to thirty seconds at most.

A person who loses more than 800 to 1000 ml of blood within a short time will experience shock and other symptoms. Draining all the blood in twenty to thirty seconds—what kind of concept is that?

Any rescue would be ineffective.

Forget that Zhou Can’s Hemostasis Skill is currently only Level 6; even if it were Level 7, he would only be looking on in sorrow.

"We already discussed this with the patient last night, and the patient agreed to the surgery. As long as the family signs, we can arrange it immediately."

Director Xue Yan said.

"Are the stents and blood vessels special and need to be custom-made?"

Zhou Can wasn’t worried about the technical aspects of the surgery.

His biggest concern now was the lack of materials.

The vascular stent will be very long, and the synthetic blood vessel will also have special requirements.

If these two materials need to be custom-made temporarily by the manufacturer, who knows how long it will take to receive them.

"Our hospital has ready-made stents, and the synthetic blood vessels have already been sourced. If needed urgently, they should arrive by 1 PM."

"That’s great! As long as we have the materials, we have a chance to fight. There are a few things we need to do now: First, let the patient absolutely bed rest, control blood pressure, and continuously stop bleeding. Second, expedite the delivery of the synthetic blood vessels. Third, the medical staff should contact the family directly to have them come over and sign. Do not let the patient and family interact; any emotional agitation could be fatal. Fourth, complete necessary examinations for the patient and arrange the operation."

Zhou Can calmly planned the preoperative preparation for the patient.

This innovative surgical plan was designed by him, and he would most likely be the chief surgeon.

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department attached great importance to this surgery; if successful, it would bring even more glory to the department.

It would also stabilize the benefits and glory brought by the live stream from the day before yesterday.

Another huge benefit is that being an innovative surgery means it is unique.

From a market perspective, this is basically equivalent to a technology monopoly.

If he can successfully perform the surgery, the significance will be immense.

In the future, Tuya Hospital will be the original and leading performer of this type of surgery for a long time.

Other hospitals might send experts to learn from the experience, but disciples are disciples. In terms of reputation and the maturity of technique, they all lag behind Zhou Can.

"I will arrange these things. If the patient’s condition stabilizes, you can go and rest in the duty room or return to your residence."

Director Xue Yan was aware that Zhou Can’s residence was close to the hospital.

However, she didn’t know that Zhou Can bought a villa.

After all, it’s a personal matter, and she and Zhou Can have a sibling-like relationship and never pry into each other’s affairs.

It may also be because both are very busy individuals.

Usually, they only have a chance for small talk during work interactions, like having a late-night snack or eating together between surgeries.

Usually, they talk about work.

As for private conversations, they mostly discuss the department’s development and planning.

Zhou Can checked the time; it was around 2 AM, so he decided to go home and sleep. Sleeping next to Su Qianqian is much more comfortable than in the duty room.

After all, his place is not far from here.

...

Around 7:30 in the morning, Zhou Can arrived at the hospital’s Emergency Department on time.

The Cardiothoracic Surgery side hadn’t called him, indicating that everything was calm; the aortic dissection patient’s condition seemed stable.

So, Zhou Can felt reassured as he did his rounds in the Emergency Department before attending to his tasks.

However, he had already spoken with Dr. Xu, so if the Cardiothoracic Surgery side was ready, he could head over any time to perform the surgery.

In the emergency operating room, Qiao Yu and others heard that Zhou Can would soon be performing a major and innovative surgery in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, and they were extremely enthusiastic.

A few of them whispered and discussed quietly.

They all wanted to follow Zhou Can to see the surgery, but they were somewhat intimidated by him and didn’t dare to ask.

In the surgical team, only Qiao Yu wasn’t afraid of Zhou Can.

After some covert discussion, they seemed to have reached a consensus.

"Dr. Zhou, after you leave, we’ll be semi-idle here anyway, so why not take us along to observe?"

Qiao Yu voiced everyone’s request.

She, too, very much wanted to see this surgery.

Zhou Can looked at Qiao Yu for two seconds before sweeping his gaze over the others.

"I was wondering what you were whispering about! You just want to go watch the big surgery, right? You guys should report to Dr. Xu for this kind of thing!"

Zhou Can seemed to scold them, yet there was a hint of endearment towards his subordinates.

Having worked together for a long time, a certain amount of camaraderie had developed between them.

Although both Yang Zhi and Pu Dingdong were more experienced than Zhou Can, they were his disciples. Even though Zhou Can never formally acknowledged it, his meticulous guidance and efforts to create surgical opportunities for them made them feel they were receiving the treatment of Core Disciples.

This was why they had a certain fear of Zhou Can.

Fear often equates to respect.

Ma Xiaolan connected with Zhou Can through Ye Tingting.

Though sometimes greedy, selfish, or abrasive, she always showed respect for Zhou Can and was now genuinely appreciative from the heart.

This was also reflected in her specific actions.

Through her continuous efforts and dedication, she gradually earned Zhou Can’s recognition.

As for Qiao Yu, there’s no need to elaborate.

If Zhou Can hadn’t been in a relationship with Su Qianqian, they might have been together by now.

Currently, they are both confidants and comrades-in-arms.

With Zhou Can’s insistence, their friendship has remained pure.

"We’re a bit afraid of Dr. Xu. Could you speak on our behalf?"

Qiao Yu said.

"Alright!"

Zhou Can didn’t refuse; he usually wouldn’t reject Qiao Yu’s requests.

"Yay! Thank you, Dr. Zhou!"

The five of them cheered in unison.

"This is an operating room; do you want to get scolded?"

Zhou Can quickly suppressed their joyous excitement.

At lunchtime, Zhou Can found a chance to mention this to Dr. Xu.

As soon as he started, Dr. Xu, with a stern face, said, "Am I that scary? They should have come to me directly instead of having you talk about it. If they want to follow and gain experience, let them go!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Zhou Can smiled.

Dr. Xu is actually quite nice. As for his usual severity, that’s unavoidable for special reasons.

Around 2 PM in the afternoon, Director Xue Yan called.

"Zhou Can, everything is ready here. We’re just waiting for you."

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

Zhou Can had been prepared all along, and he quickly finished handling the patients in his care before leading his team of medical staff to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.

"What’s this all about?"

Director Xue Yan saw him bring his team of medical staff and thought he intended to use his own people.

Since it’s a highly complex and risky Level 4 surgery, using medical assistants and surgical nurses from the Emergency Department, she was naturally not willing to take this risk.

"They want to come along to gain some experience. Without me, they can’t perform any surgeries, so I thought it would be good to bring them over to have a look."

Zhou Can replied with a smile.

Pu Dingdong, who had worked in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department before, felt quite awkward when he saw Director Xue Yan.
