Chapter 1431 - 571: Sensory Feedback of a Special Physique, Major Hospital Reform

The initial interviews have all been completed.

Although large-scale publicity hasn’t started, it’s already being tested in some self-media channels and tabloids. Big hospitals tend to be cautious with their promotions.

Tuya Hospital has been placing great emphasis on publicity work over the years.

It has also accumulated rich experience in promotions.

When promoting typical cases and significant achievements of the hospital, they rarely surprise like the Third Hospital. They often use a gradual warming approach, multi-channel efforts to spread influence, but not too much to grab eyeballs.

There are many benefits to doing it this way.

Firstly, it’s stable. A sudden surge to hot search can attract attention quickly but can easily explode negatively.

Because some competitors or patients dissatisfied with hospital treatment often take this opportunity to speak negatively about the hospital. Negative news, which usually struggles to rise, can easily climb to the hot search by leveraging the heat.

This will cause significant negative impact on the hospital.

Even if there are no mishaps, the heat rises fast and falls quickly.

After ten days or half a month, the influence fades away as well.

It’s better to have this quiet and subtle promotional method, gradually heating up, being remembered by people through different channels. The promotional effect is actually more favorable.

Tuya Hospital’s promotion of Zhang Qilian’s case has already begun implementation. If Zhang Qilian dies in a few days post-surgery, Tuya Hospital would be slapping its own face. The Third Hospital might come with a wave of desperate counterattack, which is highly possible.

Therefore, the hospital leadership places great importance on this matter.

Inside the operating room, Zhou Can, Director Xue Yan, and others are performing heart surgery on Zhang Qilian.

Despite having made adequate preparations before the operation, once it started, dangers arose frequently.

During the thoracotomy, Director Xue Yan accidentally cut an arterial vessel, causing incessant bleeding. Because the vessel was large, electrocautery for hemostasis wasn’t suitable. Implementing vascular anastomosis for repair was challenging due to the patient’s severe arterial sclerosis.

In an emergency moment, Zhou Can quickly took over.

Although his anastomosis, suturing skill, and ligation skill were all Level 6, making him adept even at nerve anastomosis, he struggled immensely with this vascular anastomosis.

Fortunately, he eventually succeeded in the anastomosis.

Otherwise, the surgery might have been forced to stop right at the beginning.

"Sister Yan, please continue with the surgery!"

After successfully cleaning up the mess for her, Zhou Can stepped aside. One person’s energy is limited; he planned to observe and conserve energy for the more critical parts of the surgery.

Clearing necrotic myocardium and repairing the heart were indeed tough battles.

They even notified the hospital’s pharmaceutical and medical device department, ready to get an artificial heart for transplantation at any time. The doctors from relevant surgical departments, as well as the surgical doctors and nurses from the Cardiothoracic Surgery department, were all prepared.

It would be best if the heart didn’t need replacement; if unmanageable, then they had no choice but to fight desperately.

Being prepared for the worst is appropriate.

"I... noticeably struggled when opening the chest earlier. His vessels are severely atherosclerotic, and the feedback from the surgical knife during anatomy was very poor, hard to distinguish. If you have a better grip, it would be safer for you to take the lead."

She seemed somewhat embarrassed.

This patient’s unique physical condition made the surgical knife’s touch during anatomy completely different from ordinary patients.

Director Xue Yan’s surgical ability hasn’t reached a highly mature level yet; she’s still striving for growth and progress. Facing patients with such special conditions, she indeed feels powerless.

The earlier rupture of an arterial vessel frightened her.

Fortunately, it was just an artery that wasn’t particularly large.

If she tore the aorta, the consequences might have been disastrous.

Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t express weakness in front of so many doctors and nurses.

After all, as the department director, she definitely needed to preserve her authority.

"Alright, I’ll try! But my level might not be as high as yours. Honestly, I’m not very confident."

Zhou Can had no choice but to bravely step forward.

When making the incision, he deliberately touched the arterial vessel wall with the blade to feel their feedback.

It felt faint, like worn leather.

Fearing to rupture the arteries, while feeling the touch of the surgical knife on the vessel wall, he dared not exert too much force. This slight contact might distort the sensation.

Time passed by minute by minute; he continued to seek the most authentic knife feel feedback.

No one rushed him.

Zhou Can and the entire team of doctors and nurses had cooperated many times, knowing his style well.

He avoids fights without assurance.

When he acts, it’s as powerful as a thunderous force.

After over ten minutes, he seemed to have gathered considerable experience, having a clearer touch feedback on the patient’s vessels. During these ten-plus minutes, he kept testing with the surgical knife.

Not only arterial vessels, but the exploration of venous vessels was also ongoing.

Rupturing the aorta could be fatal, and if venous vessels were ruptured, the outcome would be equally severe.

"This patient’s artery lesions are more severe than expected, almost progressing to the terminal capillaries."

After deeply understanding the patient’s vascular condition, Zhou Can could only describe it with four alarming words.
