Healing Doctor

Chapter 251 This Deadly Dosage

"Director Liu, the patient is really something. He not only received 60mg of papaverine but also endured it for six days. If this were during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he would definitely be a tough guy."

But that thing looks like it's not working properly. Did you feel an artery pulse when you touched it just now? Do you think we need to cut it off completely?

To be honest, this guy's suicidal spirit is truly remarkable. 60mg—even an old ox couldn't withstand that dosage. I encountered a similar patient when I was in Yuanliao, but not as reckless as him…”

"Dr. Zhao, shut up." Director Liu interrupted Zhao Zhe with a frown.

Zhao Zhe covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from blurting out the words.

"I guess it's unlikely to be saved. Sigh, how can someone so young be so bold?"

"Director, should we go up and cut it directly?" Ji Xiang was taken aback and quickly asked.

"We can't cut it all the way down. I'll go up and take a look. Let's try to save as much as we can. Winter diversion technique, if all else fails, cut it in half and then do an extension technique."

Director Liu sighed.

It's definitely not a pleasant experience to encounter something like this.

"Director Liu, when I was at our hospital, someone said that in ancient times, those of us in urology were like people in a castration ward. One cut, and it was gone." Zhao Zhe suppressed his talkative nature and only said one sentence.

"Who wouldn't want to save their child if they could?" Director Liu said. "By the way, Dr. Zhao, Xiao Ji's partial resection and lengthening surgery for Ding cancer was exceptionally well done. Please take a closer look when you have time."

Zhao Zhe exclaimed "Ah!" and then covered his mouth.

Has Ji Xiang, a resident trainee, already started surgery for genital cancer?

But the doubts vanished in an instant. Zhao Zhe and Ji Xiang went to Shanghai together and witnessed him standing on the stage, arrogantly rebuking Qin Chu, a bigwig in the domestic interventional medicine field, and scolding Ling Tian, ​​who was in his prime, like a dog.

Dr. Xiao Ji is capable of doing anything extraordinary, Zhao Zhe looked at her with envy.

"Director, is there any possibility... of saving it?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Go up and take a look." After saying that, Director Liu gave Ji Xiang a meaningful look. "Well, I think it's hopeless if we can't save it. If you think it's possible, then give it a try. Anyway, it's going to be cut off, so trying is better than not trying at all."

Ji Xiang nodded slightly, pursing his lips, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhao Zhe was utterly astonished.

The way Director Liu said that he had unwittingly put himself in a subservient position.

The group arrived at the operating room, changed their clothes, and prepared to go in.

Zhao Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought the operating room at our Second Affiliated Hospital was like 912, where you couldn't get in without a form."

Back then, Director Liu, you had just left, and I had just arrived when the new 912 building was completed. The operating rooms were brand new. One day, Director Qu wanted to take me to surgery but didn't mention my name. As a result, the head nurse kicked him out, and Director Qu apologized profusely, but it didn't work.

Director Liu smiled as he recalled what happened on September 912.

"Is the head nurse in the operating room that powerful? She won't even let the chief physician and his doctors go up on the operating table?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Of course, Xiao Ji, if you have the chance to go to 912, you still have to be careful of the head nurses. Every head nurse is fierce, the kind that makes my heart skip a beat when they glare at me, especially the head nurse in the operating room."

You said I've seen a lot of the world, but under the head nurse's nose, I'm like a kitten, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"It's alright, you can still make a name for yourself if you stay at our Second Affiliated Hospital," Director Liu said meaningfully.

After changing their clothes, the group went into the operating room.

The anesthesiologist was administering epidural anesthesia to the patient. He asked a few simple questions, not daring to delve deeper. But upon hearing that the patient had injected 60mg of papaverine into the corpus cavernosum himself, the anesthesiologist was immediately filled with surprise and profound admiration.

This guy is going way too far, he's practically risking his life.

Papaverine, 60mg, that's a deadly dose.

"Director, is there any way to save the patient?" The anesthesiologist asked in a low voice after finishing the procedure on the patient, leaning close to Director Liu.

"I don't know, but let's give it a try. What do you think, Xiao Ji?" Director Liu asked.

"I think it's possible," Ji Xiang said.

In fact, Ji Xiang has already performed nearly ten identical surgeries, so he can definitely save the patient, but he still needs to be "humble".

"Scan your hands, come up on stage," Director Liu said.

Director Liu didn't wait for Ji Xiang to wash his hands and lay out the sheets before going up himself; instead, he went with Ji Xiang.

"Xiao Ji, this has taken too long. The corpus cavernosum is experiencing CO2 retention, acidosis, and hypoxemia. We'll discuss it together before surgery," Director Liu instructed.

"Director, please come here. I was just saying it casually. I mainly want to learn from you in surgery," Ji Xiang said helplessly.

After seeing the surgeries he had performed, Director Liu became increasingly polite in his speech, which made Ji Xiang slightly uneasy.

"We're all on the same side, what's there to be afraid of? With me here, you can focus on the surgery, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong," Director Liu said. "I just can't stand those guys in our gynecology department. They act all high and mighty all the time, but when something goes wrong, they blame it all on the junior doctors."

When Ji Xiang heard Director Liu say this, he immediately thought of Professor Li, the group leader he had encountered when he felt the same way.

It seems that this type of person is not uncommon in clinical practice.

"Director, what happened to them after that?" Ji Xiang asked curiously.

"Later, things kept going wrong, and when something went wrong, we'd have huge arguments. If you push a junior doctor too far, they might just do something desperate." Director Liu laughed. "I'm not talking about you, but you're really good at surgeries for huge hydronephrosis. You're still young, with good eyesight and a steady hand. With that kind of talent, why would I show off? You go do it, and I'll protect you."

Ji Xiang took a deep breath.

Director Liu is incredibly magnanimous. Although Ji Xiang doesn't know if Director Liu would stand up for him if something serious really happened, it's remarkable that he would say such a thing.

After taking the stage, Director Liu did not release Ji Xiang at the beginning, but instead cut open the skin of the stem.

As the layers are separated, once the corpus cavernosum is reached, it is visible to the naked eye to be purplish-black and covered with blood clots.

Director Liu squeezed the corpus cavernosum, but there was no reaction. Unwilling to give up, he asked for a syringe, pierced it, and aspirated a few times, but still no blood came out.

The corpus cavernosum tissue is necrotic.

"Sigh, I doubt we can keep him." Director Liu shook his head and looked at Ji Xiang.

Zhao Zhe found it strange after seeing Director Liu's expression and actions. Why did it seem like a junior doctor was asking a senior doctor a question?

"Director Liu, may I give it a try?" Ji Xiang said softly.

When Director Liu saw that Ji Xiang had accepted the order, he didn't stand on ceremony and moved to the side of the patient's head, giving Ji Xiang the position of surgeon.

Tang Yan was stunned.

After necrosis, the next step is resection, which is the most basic common sense. The key point is that the chief physician had already given a diagnosis, but in the end, he still indulged Ji Xiang and let him try it.

Tang Yan blinked her big eyes and stared at Ji Xiang.

No wonder my boss is pursuing her; she definitely has a bright future!

Although Tang Yan hadn't been working there long, it was the first time she had seen a clinical director treat his doctors so well, especially since he was a resident physician.

Even Zhao Tianjiao, the son of Dean Zhao, doesn't receive this kind of treatment.
