Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

He dumped the patient on him and ran away?

Dog day!

What does that mean?

The patient was cured; he was Zhou Boguang's patient. The patient got into trouble; it was Xia Tian's problem.

The hospital has regulations.

For hospitalized patients who are misdiagnosed or die, the doctors who treated them bear responsibility.

After all, the patient was not in any danger when he was admitted to the hospital, and suddenly he died. The patient's family will hold him accountable, and the only way to assign that responsibility is to the doctor.

(Zhou Boguang: Anyway, the patient was still alive when I handed him over to you. If he dies, it's your problem.)

He glanced at Wang Boyi.

He sneered.

"This Dr. Zhou is very smart; he must have graduated with a PhD from Tsinghua University's School of Medicine, right?"

"That was a brilliant move."

Wang Boyi blushed, ignored Xia Tian's comment, and changed the subject to the patients.

"In the afternoon, you said the patient didn't have myocarditis, so what did you determine was the problem?"

Summer asked.

What symptoms did the patient have when they first arrived?

Wang Boyi spoke quickly and without reservation.

"The patient experienced dizziness, headache, chest tightness, and chest pain when taking deep breaths."

"When I was admitted to the hospital, I listened to my heartbeat and heard occasional murmurs, but the condition wasn't serious. Dr. Zhou diagnosed it as myocarditis, so..."

Wang Boyi lowered his head once again, his self-reproach evident.

She glanced at him.

Xia Tian said, "I suspect it's a patent foramen ovale."

"Let's have an ultrasound first."

"Okay!" Wang Boyi nodded. "Should we ask Dr. Zhou to come for a consultation as well?"

Xia Tian sneered, "If I call him, will he come?"

Wang Boyi lowered his head once again.

1:50 a.m.

There was no queue in the ultrasound department. Wang Boyi positioned the patient and personally performed the ultrasound examination in the summer.

Ten minutes later.

Xia Tian said, "It's a patent foramen ovale!"

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a pediatric surgical condition, usually a neonatal condition. Some infants do not develop properly in the womb, which can lead to heart problems.

Brief overview: The foramen ovale is a perforation-like structure located between the left and right atria of the heart. It is a physiological passage during fetal development, allowing some venous blood to flow into the left atrium through the foramen ovale. It is named for its oval shape.

After birth, during the first breath, lung resistance and right atrial pressure decrease, and the foramen ovale gradually closes.

However, some people do not completely close their pores.

Under normal circumstances, the left atrial pressure is 9 mmHg and the right atrial pressure is 6 mmHg. An unclosed foramen ovale will cause blood in the foramen ovale to flow to the left and right sides.

The disease is more common in young people.

The incidence rate is 30% in people aged 1 to 29.

The incidence rate is 25% for those aged 30 to 79.

Those aged 80 and above accounted for 20.2%.

There was once a 25-year-old woman who was hospitalized for dizziness and headaches and was diagnosed with patent foramen ovale.

The woman's mother then gave her own account.

From a young age, her child complained of headaches when reading books, and she thought it was a result of her daughter avoiding studying.

It turns out there's a hole in its heart...

Severe patent foramen ovale can lead to complications.

Stroke is one of them.

For mild cases of patent foramen ovale, antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin can be used to control the condition.

The girl's condition was very serious and could no longer be treated conservatively; surgery was necessary.

"Notify Dr. Zhou to prepare for surgery."

"The patient's condition is critical and surgery is necessary. Delaying it could very likely cause a second stroke."

Summer speaks softly.

Wang Boyi nodded and dialed Zhou Boguang's mobile phone number.

One minute later.

Wang Boyi said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Dr. Zhou said he couldn't perform surgery for patent foramen ovale and told the patient to wait until the head doctor came to work tomorrow so that the head doctor could perform the surgery."

Summer: (艹皿艹).

Damn it...

What kind of doctor is this?

Is he just a attending physician, coasting along?

"Then ask him, if the patient suffers a second stroke that endangers their life, will he take responsibility?"

Wang Boyi held his phone with a troubled expression and dialed Zhou Boguang's number again.

This time, he didn't leave; instead, he turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Dr. Zhou, Dr. Xia said the patient is in danger and may not make it to the next day. He needs immediate surgery. If something goes wrong... we can't afford the responsibility."

The surgery for patent foramen ovale is not particularly difficult.

A physician is perfectly capable of performing the surgery.

However, the patient suffered a stroke, which caused cerebral hemorrhage, greatly increasing the difficulty of the surgery.

Once surgery is performed, the patient is highly likely to suffer a second stroke.

The first cerebral hemorrhage had a bleeding volume of 15% and a mortality rate of 50%.

A second brain hemorrhage can result in two to three times the amount of blood lost during the first hemorrhage, with a mortality rate as high as 75%.

Zhou Boguang wasn't incapable of surgery; he simply didn't want to take responsibility.

But Xia Tian had already said so much, and as a doctor, he could no longer shirk his responsibility.

We have to go through with it, even if it's tough.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Boguang's next words left Xia Tian completely dumbfounded.

"I have already transferred the patient to the emergency room."

"From now on, she's an emergency room patient. The emergency room can handle things as they see fit."

beep...

The phone call ended...

summer:"……"

Holy crap!

Is this guy serious?

To avoid taking responsibility, they abandoned the patient and simply handed them over to the emergency room?

Ha ha.

Xia Tian gave Wang Boyi a cold laugh, mocking him.

"And you?"

"Are you leaving?"

"This patient is in the emergency room now. You are no longer an emergency room doctor. You can leave now. Don't worry, I won't stop you."

Damn it, what a bunch of trash!

Wang Boyi's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth.

"I'm not leaving."

"Are you capable of performing the surgery?"

"Yes!" Xia Tian nodded.

"Okay, I'll go up on stage with you and go inform the patient's family."

Wang Boyi strode away, and Xia Tian felt a mix of emotions as she watched his retreating figure.

Ah!

Compared to Zhou Boguang, Wang Boyi is a more conscientious and responsible doctor.

My dislike for him has lessened a little.
