Healing Doctor

Chapter 592 Drama

No wonder.

Aside from a very few exceptionally gifted individuals, no one can remember every detail of life. This fleeting moment was something only Director Bai could discern and remember.

The two argued for a few moments, but then found common ground—the person in charge of directing this animation should be Ji Xiang!

The average person's perspective should be on the horror of the car accident, while a typical doctor's perspective should be on critically ill patients in the emergency room.

Only Ji Xiang could have such a profound perspective on a patient who had been "abandoned".

The animation is exquisitely produced, with subtle facial expressions and small gestures constantly hinting at the patient's suffering to the audience.

On first viewing, it didn't seem like much, because a multi-vehicle collision is enough to shock viewers. But looking back now, they all realized something was amiss.

For a moment, Director Bai even doubted whether Ji Xiang had actually experienced a terrible car accident.

"Director Bai, do you usually do this?" Ding Xiang asked.

"Boss Ding, let me ask you this: when a bunch of emergency patients are brought to the emergency department, and there are limited staff, who do you take their blood pressure first?" Director Bai asked.

"I don't know." Ding Xiang shook his head.

"I reckon whoever yells the loudest will get their blood pressure checked, just like at your family's barbecue, whoever yells the loudest gets their skewers first," Director Liu joked.

"How could that be? I did everything in order!" Ding Xiang denied Director Liu's statement.

However, his expression said it all.

Honest people get bullied everywhere. Boss Ding didn't mean to bully people; he just wanted to avoid trouble.

"In the hospital, the doctors and nurses in the emergency department will first look at those who are not speaking," Director Bai said slowly, staring at the screen. "People who are not speaking may be in hemorrhagic shock, traumatic shock, or many other possibilities. They must be treated immediately."

"What about the person who was shouting the loudest?"

"For patients who still have the strength to shout, being ten or twenty minutes late is not a problem."

Ding Xiang carefully considered the various arguments involved, finding some logic in them, yet something seemed amiss.

"That's not right!" Director Bai reached out and pressed his hand on the tablet in front of Ding Xiang.

In the video, the main perspective is "seeing" the patient's injuries layer by layer through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and fascia.

There was no fracture, only soft tissue congestion and edema. The moment Director Bai reached out and pressed pause, the camera zoomed in on the blood vessels, revealing atherosclerotic plaques within them.

"Arteriosclerotic plaques? That's normal."

"Arteriosclerotic plaques in the lower extremities, diabetes, plus trauma. Look here!" Director Bai reached out and pointed to the television screen.

In the animation, a tear is faintly visible in the intima of the artery.

"thrombus?"

"Yes, I estimate this patient doesn't seem seriously ill, but he'll be the most troublesome one in the end," Director Bai said cautiously. "Dazhi, let me ask you, what if it's an arterial thrombosis?"

Director Liu thought for a moment and said, "Thrombolysis, what else can we do? Go to the vascular surgery department and have a catheter inserted for thrombolysis."

"What if it's accompanied by lower limb ischemic necrosis? And diabetic foot?"

"..."

Ding Xiang, the owner of Yiyang Barbecue, didn't understand many of the technical terms, but Director Liu did, and his face turned extremely ugly.

A rational analysis suggests that the production team wouldn't be so "outrageous" as to air a sequel storyline about a patient having their limb amputated.

After all, it's a variety show, and it's all about having a happy ending.

Nobody watches variety shows to torture themselves. If you want to gain insights into life, you're better off watching those critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful art-house films.

What should be done if a diabetic patient develops lower extremity arterial thrombosis?

"Maybe it's not as serious as you say," Director Liu said with an awkward smile.

"Hey, not as serious as I made it out to be?" Director Bai scoffed. "Here, here, here."

He pointed to three locations in a row.

These three locations all have atherosclerotic plaques, which are also areas where blood clots are prone to form after trauma.

"What are you saying?" Ding Xiang was confused and didn't understand the situation.

"Boss Ding, come and see the new expert the program team just invited showing off." Director Liu said with an extremely ugly expression.

……

……

"Here, here, here."

Qin Chu's fingers, as thin as a radish, tapped the screen.

"A blood clot will definitely form, boss. How good is Lin Jiuze at thrombectomy?"

"Boston Tech's thrombectomy catheter was approved by the FDA in 21, and Lin Jiuze performed some of the procedures in the Phase III and IV clinical trials." Qin Chu's lips curled up, becoming increasingly pleased.

"What a coincidence, running into this patient." Ling Tian sighed, thinking to himself that Lin Jiuze was like a shooting star falling from the sky, leaving Ji Xiang completely dazed, before turning and leaving.

Even patients with arterial thrombosis after trauma, which is so rare, appeared on the show.

"I reckon Boston Scientific has also invested," Qin Chu said with a smile.

"Hehe, the time is too short, I think it's unlikely." Ling Tian smiled.

Whether Boston Scientific will invest in the program as a form of GG promotion is irrelevant; the key issue is what to do about this "neglected" patient.

After watching the animation again, Boss Ding of Qiyang Barbecue and Ling Tian in the office of the director of the Department of Hepatobiliary Intervention in Shanghai both turned back to watch the program.

Inside the commentary room, the bald host and Professor Shen were chatting, while the other guests expressed their surprise intermittently.

"The review is really long."

"The animation at the beginning wasn't cut off, maintaining the integrity of the plot, so the expert commentary is all at the end," Director Bai said. "Boss Ding, did you like this part?"

"It's alright, I don't mind. Professor Shen explains many parts that I don't understand," Ding Xiang said.

"Look," Director Bai said with a smile.

The group continued watching the program. Based on their previous analysis and judgment, Director Liu knew that the next part of the plot would be Lin Jiuze showing off, so there was no anticipation at all, and it was quite boring.

"I'm leaving now," Director Liu said, standing up.

"Oh?" Director Bai glanced at him.

"If it's thrombectomy, they'll definitely use Boston Scientific's high-value consumables. So there's no question, it'll definitely be Lin Jiuze performing the surgery." Director Liu started getting dressed. "Just looking at Lin Jiuze makes me annoyed. To have an expert from Massachusetts General Hospital participate in a job interview program, the program team is utterly shameless."

"Are you sure Xiao Ji won't do?"

"This is a 21-year-old product; our hospital hasn't even started using it yet. I doubt Xiao Ji has even seen it. Do you think it'll work?" Director Liu said disdainfully. "They're shameless!"

"Lin Jiuze may not be able to perform this surgery," Director Bai said. "I've gained some understanding of thrombectomy catheters over the past few years. The requirements are very strict, and the slightest carelessness can cause damage to the vascular endothelium. Arterial plaque is one of the contraindications for thrombectomy catheters."

"Old Bai, what do you mean?" Director Liu asked, frowning and full of suspicion.
