Healing Doctor

Chapter 593 Montage

In the scene, the camera shifts to Director Li receiving a phone call.

A hospital-wide consultation was held.

Just as Director Bai had predicted, the previous animation had provided enough clues, suggesting that the highlight of this episode was not the rescue in the previous episode, but the patient who seemed to be fine.

The hints were so subtle that even a senior doctor like Director Liu didn't catch them.

Director Liu was skeptical, but turned around and sat down.

He still harbored a sliver of hope that Ji Xiang could turn the tide.

"That's right." Director Bai stared straight at the screen. He didn't mock Liu Zhi. "The tone of the previous program clearly showed Ji Xiang's involvement. You, at your age, still can't stand being alone."

"Sigh." Liu Zhiyue thought about it and realized he was pretty sure Director Bai was right. He chuckled, "Short videos are so popular now, who has the patience to wait? They just jump right in with the bombshells, quick and easy to get it over with. People are so restless, who has the patience to watch this tedious stuff?"

"childish."

The camera pans to Lin Jiu and Director Li Ming attending a hospital-wide consultation.

Sure enough, the patient ran into trouble. The vice president of the First Affiliated Hospital in charge of clinical affairs chaired a meeting, and the small conference room was completely silent.

A 64-slice CT scan image appeared on the screen, and even a layman like Ding Xiang could see that the patient's right lower limb blood vessels were blocked and there was no blood flow.

"Something's not right." Director Bai looked at the camera lens of the hospital-wide consultation and was slightly taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhi asked.

"In an emergency room, during a hospital-wide consultation, would the program's camera crew be allowed in?"

"Uh..." Liu Zhi also realized this.

"It was added later," Ding Xiang said.

"Additional fixes later?"

Both Director Bai and Director Liu were in a blind spot in their thinking and asked the same question almost simultaneously.

"They wouldn't let us film at the time, but since the rescue was successful, they'll definitely add footage later. Isn't that normal?" said Ding Xiang, the owner of Qiyang.

He looked at Director Bai with some confusion. Knowing Director Bai as he did, Ding Xiang knew that Director Bai would definitely have thought of something so simple. Was there something he hadn't noticed?

Director Bai paused for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped his face.

"Haha, we're both totally dumbfounded." Director Liu laughed heartily.

"Yes, the production crew was definitely not allowed to record the hospital-wide consultation at the time, but afterwards, especially after the successful surgery, it was no problem to add some footage or shots." Director Bai focused his attention and watched the program again.

How exactly will Lin Jiu make a name for himself?

How can Ji Xiang turn things around?

These questions lingered in his mind, and Director Bai didn't even blink as he tried to distinguish the later footage in his mind and pinpoint which scene was from the original one.

Director Bai managed to see the tone of a crime drama in what was supposed to be a workplace variety show.

The camera panned into the small conference room, where video footage was projected onto the opposite side, further confirming Ding Xiang's hypothesis.

In the urgency of emergency care, there's no time for such meticulous work.

Being able to view the images on a computer is already a blessing; it takes countless phone calls to urge the CT room to upload the image data as soon as possible.

Director Bai also noticed a detail—after entering the small conference room, Lin Jiuze was no longer visible in the camera's view.

"It's true," Director Bai said with a wry smile, "I've spent my whole life hunting geese, and now I've been pecked in the eye by one."

This scene was indeed added later. Lin Jiu probably wasn't in a good mood or was busy with something, so he didn't appear to make a perfunctory appearance.

The head of the department who admitted the patient began to explain the patient's condition—the patient's vital signs were stable after admission, but a few hours later it was found that the right lower limb had become cold.

When the patient told the nurse, the nurse was busy and didn't come over to touch him until half an hour later.

The affected limb was ice cold, which startled the nurse, who immediately went to find a doctor.

Doctors are working to save him in the operating room...

That's how it is when you're in the emergency room; there aren't enough staff.

Fortunately, the patient was on the phone when the surgery above finished and the patient returned. After all the commotion, it was finally determined that the lower limb arterial thrombosis was caused by external trauma and compression.

The entire hospital held a consultation, and doctors from various departments spoke up.

The illness is very simple and doesn't need to be explained. The program team edited out the key parts and clearly told the audience that the current difficulty lies in how to treat it.

Thrombolysis can be achieved through various methods, but oral administration, intravenous infusion, and continuous administration via micro-infusion pump are all long-term solutions that cannot address the immediate problem.

The best approach is for a vascular surgeon to perform the procedure, cutting and removing the thrombus in conjunction with interventional surgery.

However, the patient had diabetes, and his blood sugar level was 16.3 mmol/L in the emergency room after admission. The vascular surgeon directly expressed his concerns: the surgery could be performed, but because the patient had diabetes and local crush injuries, there was a high possibility that the postoperative recovery would be very problematic, accompanied by serious infection, and could even endanger the patient's life.

This is a hospital-wide consultation, not just an explanation of the patient's condition to their family. Saying that their life is in danger is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, the patient had numerous plaques in his blood vessels, making the surgery extremely difficult. Whether the blood vessels could heal after the anastomosis was also a problem.

Many of the doctors in the video looked uncomfortable.

But to Director Bai and Director Liu, this predicament was nothing short of a joke.

Some people were already holding back their laughter, almost to the point of tears. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the injured person was a relative.

"Boston Scientific has released a new thrombectomy catheter."

Suddenly, a doctor mentioned Boston Scientific and the thrombectomy catheter.

"Thrombectomy also has indications; severe arteriosclerosis is one of the contraindications."

Some people disagreed.

The camera then focused on the doctor.

He was in his forties, with a clean-cut appearance and the look of a refined scoundrel.

He counted on his fingers more than a dozen complications.

"Director Shi, what do you suggest we do about the patient?" the vice president in charge of the consultation asked seriously.

The doctor, who had the air of a refined scoundrel, shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

"What about Dr. Lin?" the vice president asked. "What will Massachusetts General Hospital do?"

The problem was successfully shifted to Lin Jiuze. In a flash, the office door opened, and Lin Jiuze tiptoed out.

Out of the corner of his eye, Director Bai saw that the scene in the office was completely different from the consultation just now, confirming Ding Xiang's guess—this shot must have been accidentally recorded by the program crew waiting outside the consultation office that day.

This part is the live broadcast.

The camera followed Lin Jiuze, bumping along the way.

The film crew was probably kept out and had no idea what was going on. After seeing Lin Jiu come out alone, they followed him to see if they could find any footage.

Lin Jiuze wasn't as resistant to the film crew as the doctors at the First Affiliated Hospital. He didn't seem to care about their presence. However, the camera would always shift slightly, moving from Lin Jiuze to passing patients' family members.

Director Bai was very puzzled by this.

This footage is like a movie shot with a handheld camera; the chaotic footsteps are full of tension, and you can even faintly hear the pounding of a heartbeat.
