Chapter 1138: [1138] Scolded by the Boss, both inwardly and outwardly

The doctors from these two departments felt a tingling at the top of their heads.

Teacher Lu had undergone heart stent surgery a few years ago, so ever since Zhang Huayao arrived, he had been emphasizing that his mother’s heart was not in good condition. Teacher Lu’s stent was installed at the Guoxie Cardiology Department. Zhang Huayao seemed not quite satisfied with this.

Xie Wanying has not yet interned at the thoracic and cardiology departments and was not aware of the subsequent developments. After the meeting, she went with Senior Tao and Teacher Tan to prepare for their upcoming surgery work. Many specific details and personnel needed to be carefully arranged in advance. For example, Doctor Song was to prepare to be her backup. If an unexpected situation arose during the surgery, and she, as the Mirror Assistant, was overwhelmed, Doctor Song would need to step in.

Zhang Shuping happily bounced back to the ward to tell his grandmother the good news about the possibility of a full laparoscopic surgery.

Fang Xueqing complained to her old classmates in the ward: "Youth is to be feared."

It was not just the young people from Beidu who were impressive, but those from Guoxie seemed equally formidable.

Teacher Lu couldn’t stop smiling. She had long expressed her confidence in Xie Wanying.

Upon hearing that her adopted son had personally gone to speak with the hospital’s thoracic and cardiology departments, Teacher Lu hummed twice, hoping her adopted son would be put in his place again.

However, making her proud adopted son truly submit was definitely not easy. Moreover, cardiology was Zhang Huayao’s area of expertise.

After working overtime in the evening, Xie Wanying returned to the dormitory and encountered her second senior sister.

He Xiangyu whispered to her: "Be careful, the cardiology department got scolded this afternoon."

It was not uncommon for the Boss to scold people, especially since Uncle Zhang was a top-tier Boss known for his sinister smiles.

What did Uncle Zhang scold the cardiology department for?

"He said the stent narrowed again after two years. The cardiology department asked how he knew it was blocked. He said it’s clear as day with just one look at an EKG," He Xiangyu relayed what everyone had been saying, and like everyone else, could only sigh.

The director of the Guozhi Emergency Department indeed had this great skill. Guozhi’s cardiology technology has always been superior to Guoxie’s. The general public knows this, preferring to choose Guozhi over Guoxie for interventional procedures.

"As for stents, restenosis is quite common," Xie Wanying said in fairness to the cardiology department, "The rate of restenosis is quite high. If Teacher Lu’s was not a drug-eluting stent, having restenosis after more than two years is already not bad. And it might not be in-stent restenosis but restenosis outside the stent. Specific details should be determined after further examination."

In-stent restenosis means that the area inside the metal stent has become obstructed again. Restenosis outside the stent refers to other heart vessels in the patient that have also become blocked. After all, it’s quite normal for a patient with a history of such vascular obstructions to have other vessels continue to deteriorate.

Furthermore, the severity of restenosis and whether it needs further treatment must be considered. As a cardiovascular expert, Zhang Huayao should be well aware of these aspects. Why then deliberately blame the cardiology department? Oh, it turns out he was implying that the cardiology department had not been regularly conducting proper follow-ups for his mother, leading to the missed timely detection of lung cancer. Patients who’ve had stent surgery are usually supposed to have follow-up checks at least every six months to a year. If particular attention were given, then an examination every three months would be warranted.

"It seems Teacher Lu only came to our hospital for a blood test checkup six months ago. The rest of the time she took medication regularly and measured her blood pressure following the doctor’s instructions," said He Xiangyu.

The doctor who performed the check-up six months ago only conducted a routine examination for Teacher Lu, and probably, considering she reported no abnormalities and with no auscultation done, did not proceed with further tests.
