Chapter 990: [990] Full of twists and turns

"It wasn’t me, it was Doctor Song who followed Teacher Tao to a meeting last time, and may have discussed it with Teacher Tao on the way," Xie Wanying said honestly.

Doctor Song, who doesn’t take care of bed 20, why did he intentionally discuss bed 20 with Tao Zhijie? The senior colleagues heard her and squinted at Doctor Song: Oh look at you, are you scheming to win her over privately?

Doctor Song remained serenely indifferent, not needing to respond.

If the seniors have the ability, they should try to do the same.

Some are even cursing under their breath.

After hearing Director Tang’s words, other department doctors became busy trying to find out what was going on with bed 20, wondering why they had not heard any related news before.

"The patient was initially diagnosed with liver cirrhosis-induced ascites upon admission, and intended to be discharged after treatment, which was of mediocre effectiveness. At that time, there was a sudden suspicion that it could be heart-related ascites. After the cardiologists came to examine, prescribing some medication showed a bit of effectiveness," seeing everyone’s interest, Director Tang continued to introduce this case for Tao Zhijie’s group.

"So it turns out to be heart-related ascites? Does it mean we need to turn to thoracic surgery to solve the problem?"

"How about the results of the cardiac echocardiography?"

"At this moment, there’s a new development." Director Tang, like narrating a detective story, continued with the progress of the case, "After performing inferior vena cava angiography, it turned out to be Budd-Chiari syndrome."

"Does that mean liver cancer?"

"There’s no liver occupying lesion."

"Inferior vena cava tumor?" Other department doctors suddenly understood.

"That’s quite rare."

"If it’s an inferior vena cava tumor, being malignant indicates a very poor prognosis."

"How big is this tumor?"

"Is it growing inside the lumen or outside?"

"Has it extended to the heart?"

One doctor after another kept asking questions. It was clear that all doctors have a very high interest in rare cases.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm in the discussion, Director Tang felt that this case was indeed exceptional. The doctors in his department were very interested, not to mention doctors from other hospitals.

If this case were to be operated on in a traditional operating room, it wouldn’t mean much. But just as the applying doctor suggested, making it a laparoscopic surgery would be of significant importance. It could potentially be the first national case of laparoscopic removal of an inferior vena cava tumor, and broadcasting the operation live would be no problem making headline news.

After snapping out of it, the other doctors realized the ambition of Tao Zhijie’s group and Director Tang and were quite startled, one after another they stated:

"Director, we must think thrice before proceeding with this surgery."

"No one has done it before, and our hospital’s doctors haven’t either—the risks are extremely high."

"The inferior vena cava connects to the right atrium; should an accident occur, the patient could die on the operating table."

"Therefore, if this surgery is to be conducted, we need to communicate with the doctors from the department of cardiac surgery," Director Tang had considered this point and turned to discuss with Tao Zhijie.

"Firstly, we need to have a discussion within our department before I can talk to the people from the department of cardiac surgery," Tao Zhijie conveyed his plan.

Receiving his words, Director Tang exchanged a knowing look with him, seemingly deciphering an additional layer of meaning within his words. After some contemplation, Director Tang’s gaze quickly shifted to Xie Wanying, recalling the last time she mentioned taking the medical records to Teacher Lu’s house while in his office.

Snap. Director Tang’s palm struck the desk as if to make a final decision: "Alright, it’s decided."

The other doctors present realized that it wasn’t about debating the demonstration surgery anymore and stopped submitting any objections.
