Chapter 755: Chapter 350: Seniority Prevails, Please Come Back (Part 3)
"You’re exaggerating. I’m just a young attending physician, so what I say doesn’t carry much weight."
Li Jingsheng replied.
"No, no, no. The level of medical expertise is never determined by age. Dr. Li’s ability to not be swayed by appearances and to stick to his principles is truly admirable."
Director Yan waved his hands repeatedly, showering Li Jingsheng with praise.
"So now you’re not calling Dr. Li stubborn anymore?"
Director Hua smirked.
"Old brother, you know I always speak my mind. At that time, I indeed had a misunderstanding, and I shouldn’t have underestimated Dr. Li because of his young age. Please, both of you, come back with me. The child’s condition is now critical, and only you may be able to save him."
Director Yan pleaded persistently.
He even called him "old brother."
"We can’t afford to wear such a high hat. But since something’s wrong with the patient, it’s our duty to do whatever we can to help." Director Hua’s tone softened, and he said no more.
They brought Li Jingsheng back to the emergency department.
This time, the two didn’t go into the consultation room but went straight to the resuscitation room.
Director Hua was truly not proficient in handling emergencies. At this moment, Li Jingsheng was the real driving force.
However, Director Hua was the highest authority in orthopedic surgery, overseeing things for Li Jingsheng on site.
If Li Jingsheng were to become reckless, he’d definitely intervene promptly.
After all, Li Jingsheng was now the golden nameplate of orthopedic surgery.
No mistakes were allowed.
Inside the resuscitation room, Secretary Bei looked at her son, who had slipped back into a coma, nearly collapsing.
A middle-aged man in pajamas was supporting her by her side.
This man should be her husband.
Otherwise, holding her like that would definitely be inappropriate.
"Please, save my son, I’ll agree to any cost."
At this moment, Bei Yan was no longer the high-ranking secretary but a mother deeply concerned for her son’s well-being. She just hoped her son could get through this.
"Dr. Li has been invited back."
Director Yan was sweating profusely.
Finally, he had managed to bring him back.
Who would have thought that the child, after showing improvement post-medication, would again encounter issues shortly after?
Bei Yan was now overcome with grief, anxiously worried about her son.
If something were to happen to the child, she would surely blame Director Yan and Director Luo.
"Dr. Li, perhaps your diagnostic direction was right, please take another look. I heard from Director Mu that you’re also very proficient in diagnosing respiratory issues. Now the child’s breathing has also become somewhat poor."
Director Luo also wore a somewhat pale face.
Claiming credit could lead to glory, but if the child couldn’t be saved, it would indeed be a great misstep.
Li Jingsheng approached the resuscitation bed, carefully examining the child’s condition.
"The pupils are dilated, the person has slipped into a coma, breathing is poor, and the pulse is weak, indicating a feeble heartbeat..."
He turned to look at the heart monitor.
"Ventricular tachycardia! Prior to this, pulmonary congestion had already been detected. Is this the preparation for a tracheal intubation to provide pressurized oxygen?"
"Yes!"
Director Yan nodded.
At this point, the child’s father seemed to have finished a phone call,
and said to Director Yan, "Now if we transfer my son to the People’s Hospital, will the chances of successful resuscitation be much higher? Just now I called a leader at the People’s Hospital, and he said they would soon have Wang Weiwei, the top professor in the field of cardiovascular medicine, contact us."
The child’s father didn’t seem as influential as his wife.
Yet, even if he was not particularly capable, given his wife was a secretary, he couldn’t be too mediocre.
"I estimate that the effect of a second round of cardiac medication will be worse than the first. This indicates the child’s condition is progressing faster than I anticipated. Even under these circumstances, transferring to the People’s Hospital could still be a life-or-death situation."
Li Jingsheng expressed his viewpoint.
It wasn’t arrogance, nor was it bravado, but rather because he was well-versed in neurology, cardiovascular medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, and pulmonary medicine.
Having evaluated the child’s condition, he deemed the disease uncontrollable, likely unable to last through the day.
At most, only several more hours until death.
Moreover, as the condition progressed, the chances of a successful resuscitation became slimmer.
"How can you speak like that, doctor? My son is still alive, and you’re speaking so pessimistically."
The child’s father was already agitated, disappointed at the Second Hospital’s lack of efficacy. Hearing Li Jingsheng talking about a life-or-death situation was like adding fuel to the fire, immediately infuriating him.
"He is Dr. Li Jingsheng. During the consultation just now, it was him actively trying to save our son. And his diagnosis seems to be more accurate than the other experts."
Bei Yan held her husband back, simultaneously introducing Li Jingsheng’s series of outstanding actions.
"Dr. Li, please forgive us. My husband is anxious because the child fell into a coma again."
"It’s fine."
Li Jingsheng waved his hand.
"The child has a suspected subdural hematoma, and it should be investigated immediately. It seems that from the beginning, I suspected there might be a subdural hematoma."
Director Luo, the credit-seeker, once again emerged.
Reaching the level of an attending physician, even poor medical skills shouldn’t falter drastically.
When it comes to one’s diagnosis, often there is unfailing confidence.
With the condition becoming increasingly unclear, it was apparent that the possibility of the issue residing in the heart and cardiovascular system was diminishing.
Everyone couldn’t help but redirect the diagnostic direction back to the previously discarded suspicion of the head.
"I suggest a cerebrospinal fluid tap quickly, and also checking the blood serum antibodies. While there’s a possibility of a cerebral hemorrhage, it’s probably minimal."
Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but feel disdainful of Director Luo.
Even with the child in such a state, there was still an effort to prove his diagnosis correct, showing no respect for objective reality. The neurology department at the Second Hospital was typically unimpressive, and now the reason was clear.
The leader in neurology behaved this way, how could the department be any better?
Almost the vast majority of departments mirrored their leaders in behavior.
With a director fond of self-aggrandizement, the doctors and nurses generally follow suit.
Those practical thinkers, who differ from the director’s style, are often sidelined and don’t last long.
Each dynasty changes its courtiers, and this almost applies to any institution.
