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

"Let me take a look."

Summer received her kidney function test report.

Blood urea nitrogen, 7.5 mmol/L.

Creatinine, 391 μmol/L.

Uric acid, 290 μmol/L.

Cystatin C, 1 mg/L.

The mother was very nervous and kept asking Xia Tian questions.

"Doctor, is there anything wrong with my son's kidneys?"

Xia Tian glanced at the report and said to the two of them, "No problem, all within the normal range."

"That's good, the child is very healthy."

Mom breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright."

"But what about his hand problem?"

"I've heard of sweaty feet, but sweaty hands are quite rare. Is this condition curable?"

Sweaty hands!

First of all, this is not an illness.

Some people sweat more; for example, some people sweat on their feet, some on their armpits, and some on their backs. The location of sweating varies from person to person.

Sweating is not considered a disease.

Especially when the child's physical condition is normal in all aspects.

"Sweaty hands can indeed be treated."

"However, there's no way to change a person's tendency to sweat a lot."

"A minor surgery can be performed to cut the T3 or T4 sympathetic nerves, which can solve the problem of sweaty hands. However, once the hands stop sweating, sweating will start from other places, such as sweaty feet."

"Please consider whether you want to have the surgery."

A tendency to sweat a lot is something that cannot be changed.

Since the sweat no longer flows from the hands, it will flow out from other places.

The mother and son hesitated for a while.

The mother handed the initiative over to her son.

"Son, what are you thinking?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!"

"If your feet sweat, just wear sweat-absorbing socks and shoes; it won't affect your daily life. But if your hands sweat, it's inconvenient to do anything."

The mother fully supported her son's decision.

He nodded to summer.

"Doctor, please give us the money to schedule the surgery."

Is the surgery dangerous?

Summer smiled.

explained.

"It's a very minor surgery. During the surgery, a 5mm incision will be made under the armpit. The whole process takes no more than half an hour. You can walk around 4 hours after the surgery and can be discharged tomorrow."

"If you're sure you want to do it, then go ahead and schedule an inpatient surgery."

"Hospitalized surgery is reimbursable."

"Also, please inform the nurses to have the child undergo a pre-operative examination."

The mother and son nodded repeatedly, and under Xia Tian's arrangement, they went to pay for the check-up.

Summer is also approaching, and I'm preparing to return to the operating room.

At this time.

A figure appeared in the emergency room.

"Senior Brother Ye?"

"Have you come back to work?"

Since the incident with that patient, Ye Ziming has been suspended by Dean Jia. Although it was later found that the patient's coma was caused by his own reasons, Ye Ziming has not been to work.

He looked much older after just a few days, with a bluish stubble on his chin.

He glanced at Xia Tian.

He inquired.

"Is the director here?"

"He's here," Xia Tian said. "I saw him an hour ago."

Ye Ziming nodded, looking preoccupied, and walked toward the director's office.

5 minute later.

Ding dong.

Zhang Ming's WeChat buzzed.

"Come to my office."

Xia Tian immediately put down her work and went to Zhang Ming's office.

All I saw was...

Inside the office, besides Zhang Ming, Ye Zimo was also there. His eyes were red, and he was standing on a table to the side.

In addition, Dean Jia, Qi Changfeng, Director Yang of the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Liu Yu, and other department directors were all present, filling the office to capacity.

Summer asked timidly.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Zhang Ming pointed to the films on the table.

"Take a look."

Summer picked up the film and glanced at it. The first film was of the stomach. In the film, there was a black spot in the stomach area. The spot was not big and occupied one-fifth of the stomach area.

Then he picked up the second film.

This is an X-ray of the bladder.

It is clearly visible that there are tumors in the bladder, and they are quite large.

"Is this the same person's film?"

Summer asked.

Zhang Ming nodded: "It's one person, did you notice?"

"I can tell."

"Bladder cancer has metastasized to the stomach."

The bladder cancer tumor was already very large, almost occupying the entire bladder, and the cancer cells had metastasized to the stomach, indicating that it was already in the late stage of cancer.

Who is this patient?

Ye Zimo spoke softly, "He is my father."

quiet!

For a full minute, no one spoke in the office.

The survival rate for late-stage metastatic cancer is only 10%.

Once cancer reaches this stage.

It's like a death countdown.

Although Ye Zimo is not a likable person, and even somewhat annoying, he has never had any major conflicts with Xia Tian. It's too common for doctors to compete for patients in hospitals; it's just workplace competition.

Moreover, his medical skills are indeed quite good.

As colleagues, Xia Tian felt somewhat heavy-hearted because his father had metastatic cancer.

"Besides the stomach, has it metastasized to any other places?"

Ye Ziming shook his head: "No."

"If there is no metastasis, surgery can be performed to remove the tumor in the bladder, and at the same time, the tumor in the stomach can also be removed."

"Chemotherapy can be used after surgery."

"How old are you, uncle?"

Summer asked.

Ye Ziming: "55 years old."

"At 55, she's still very young, and the success rate of chemotherapy should be very high."

"I recommend surgery."

Even if it's only 10%.

We should not give up on either one easily.

As a doctor, Xia Tian's motto is: as long as the patient doesn't give up, he will never give up.

Ye Zimo's expression darkened, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Surgery and chemotherapy are indeed options."

"But my dad's health isn't very good, and I'm worried he won't make it through the surgery."

Will he not survive the surgery?

Some patients are too weak, and their illness is too severe, so they may experience various complications during surgery and not survive the operation.

As a son.

Ye Ziming understood her father's health.

He said quietly, "I consulted my mentor, and he said there's only a 60% chance he'll survive the surgery."

"Director Zhang, what are your chances?"

Zhang Ming sighed and shook his head, saying, "I'm not even 50% sure."

Ye Ziming looked at Dean Jia, Liu Yu, Qi Changfeng and others. All the directors had their heads down and were sighing softly.

"Xiao Ye, we want to help you too."

"But this surgery is too risky. Your father has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. Various unexpected events can occur during the surgery. A 60% success rate is very high."

Several people shook their heads repeatedly.

At this time.

Ye Zimo turned his gaze to Xia Tian.

How confident are you about summer?

Xia Tian paused for a moment before speaking.

"Probably 90%."
