When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1785: Whoever Masters Intervention Controls the Next 30 Years

Liang Xiong also quipped: “There are bigger things than this!”

“Once, I was performing a coronary surgery for a patient, and halfway through, I got a call saying a leader suddenly had a stroke and wanted me to perform an intervention to open up the vessel.”

“But now this one is halfway done, and they insisted I go to surgery.”

“It was just a regular carotid artery embolism that anyone could do, but they insisted I do it!”

“Later, after I directly refused, my qualification for excellence evaluation was canceled for two consecutive years, and within those two years, none of my projects passed!”

After Liang Xiong finished speaking, he laughed and cursed: “Damn it, scared me silly!”

“Sometimes being a doctor, what’s hard isn’t the surgery, it’s the human relationships!”

“You say one patient is on the brink of death, and another patient wants to enjoy the best treatment…”

“I’ve learned my lesson now, no…I’m just scared!”

After saying this, Liang Xiong laughed to himself, the laugh tinged with irony.

“Professor Chen, aren’t you supposed to be in surgery? Go get busy!”

“After this surgery, I’ll personally take care of this old painter, so don’t worry.”

After listening, Chen Cang felt quite emotional.

Director Liang is truly genuine.

In front of so many people, he says whatever is on his mind.

A director beside him suddenly said:

“This He Hui is not an ordinary person, he’s a master of ink painting, and reportedly last year, one of his works sold for millions, even tens of millions, at an auction in London!”

“Besides, the old man rarely creates now, and occasionally paints a piece that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gifts to foreign leaders as a present!”

“Simply put, he’s now considered a national treasure! A treasure of Henan Province, no wonder so many people are putting in a word!”

After hearing this, everyone stopped speaking.

This kind of thing…

There’s really nothing to say.

Chen Cang didn’t think about it either. No matter who they are, once they’re in the hospital, they’re just a regular patient.

Trying to achieve this is indeed difficult…

Social interactions are already a deeply rooted concept.

Wanting to change it is too hard!

Returning to the clinic, quite a bit of time had been delayed; it was already around five o’clock in the afternoon.

In the hospital, the afternoon hours aren’t generous, only three and a half hours of work time, and now seeing the 45th, estimating getting through all might go past seven.

However, Chen Cang conducted the examination very diligently and attentively.

At six-thirty in the afternoon, Chen Cang was still at the clinic.

But at this moment, a helicopter landed at Provincial Second Hospital.

An elderly man in his eighties was pushed on a hospital bed by a crowd into the hospital.

A number of leaders also gradually arrived at Provincial Second Hospital.

Without a doubt, this was the famous painter He Hui.

He Hui was already over eighty this year, and in contrast to everyone’s tension, he seemed…very calm.

Lying in bed, eyes closed, not knowing what he was feeling!

The surrounding people were very anxious, nervous, and impatient.

All trying to comfort He Hui.

He Hui’s children and grandchildren were the same!

It seemed… He Hui truly was a national treasure.

Their comfort was actually to reassure themselves; He Hui didn’t need their comfort at all.

He was very quiet, very calm.

Indeed, the illness was excruciating!

At this moment, his arm was pale and swollen, and the intense pain continuously stimulated his nerves, spreading from one point in the upper limb to the entire arm.

The color of this arm was telling everyone…if time wasn’t enough, perhaps…this arm would be wasted!

The arm’s temperature was very low, very cold…

He Hui couldn’t help but sigh.

Lying there, reflecting on his life.

To be honest, he had nothing to boast about in this life.

Endured hardship for more than half his life, only truly becoming famous at seventy.

And for seventy years, his livelihood relied on building houses for people, these hands were very rough, not like a painter’s hands at all.

A rural Henan man, traveled far and wide often.

His son was the same, following him to work everywhere.

Even his grandson was not very educated.

Such a family, yet dramatically changed during the 2008 Olympics.

He Hui, who had painted for ages, became famous.

His paintings suddenly entered certain people’s sight, the prices kept rising!

Actually, He Hui liked ink painting primarily because he was poor, couldn’t afford good brushes, inks…

However, He Hui became a national treasure!

His son stopped working, built a big house at their own home.

His grandson stopped working, specifically went to run business, bantered and laughed with those second-generation, third-generation individuals.

The rural dialect once looked down upon, was now jokingly said to be just like an artist.

The whole family changed.

Except for He Hui!

His lifestyle stayed the same, morning starts with a bowl of spicy soup, reheating leftover bread, too old to eat meat due to dental issues, seafood causes gout, rare mountain cuisines don’t appeal.

He Hui, having traveled far and wide, had accumulated a lot of illnesses.

The deadliest being rheumatic heart disease, accompanied by atrial fibrillation.

This acute arterial embolism, in fact, resulted from rheumatic heart disease damaging the valve, coupled with atrial fibrillation sending the clot to the brachial artery causing acute arterial embolism!

Rheumatic heart disease with atrial fibrillation is also the primary cause of acute arterial embolism, accounting for 42.4%!

Actually, the probability of an upper limb artery embolism is very low.

Less than one-fifth compared to lower limb arterial embolism.

However, He Hui, the elder, already had vascular malformation in his right hand, greatly enhancing the one-fifth probability.

Also, it became a challenging problem troubling interventional medicine doctors!

Handling malformed vessels for interventional medicine doctors is simply a nightmare.

After all, what is intervention?

Simply put, it’s using a tube inserted into blood vessels or bile duct pathways, enabling direct access to lesions, whether extracting clots or delivering medication to target areas, requires reaching lesions!

Acute arterial embolism requires reaching the region of the clot at least to remove it with a balloon.

Interventional medicine should coexist alongside internal medicine and surgery as the third major department.

Interventional development will undoubtedly become the future and trend.

However, it’s just a late start!

Intervention treatment surfaced in the 70s in big cities in our country.

In the 90s, the Ministry of Health issued a statement establishing interventional radiology’s position in the system.

Despite the late start, the development is very fast.

The advantages are clear!

Even more minimally invasive than minimally invasive surgery, no incision, minor damage, quick recovery, effective!

Of course, the drawbacks are also obvious!

High cost, narrow range of indications.

Simply put, intervention is more like a noble princess, good yet expensive, and not widely applicable!

Therefore, it’s basically certain that whoever masters intervention will control medicine’s development trajectory for the next 30 years!
