I saw that the time was almost up.
"Let's change the time for the consultation." The official suggested.
"No, life is at stake. It's okay if you haven't met me. Now that you have met me, how can I live in peace if I refuse to save you?" Liu Maqiao replied firmly.
The officials were dumbfounded.
In his mind, diagnosis and treatment are more important than anything else.
"This is not allowed!"
The guests invited to this banquet are all celebrities, which is related to the friendship between China and the United States.
Among those invited were Councilor Harris, Councilor Marr, and Mayor Liu Linde.
Liu Linde is of Chinese descent and his ancestral home is Wanwan.
There are also some celebrities.
The key is that Harris and Marr are both extremely important, very active, and very influential figures.
Liu Muqiao should meet them.
"Why not?"
Liu Muqiao was also very straightforward. At this time, he was not prepared to see even the general manager himself. His duty was to treat illnesses and save people.
It's a coincidence that just 5 minutes ago, the consul received a call that Mr. Tong was really coming and he also wanted to see Liu Muqiao.
Liu Muqiao is gone.
He left with Smith.
"Wait!" Zou Qingxiang finally reacted, "I have a haircut and skin preparation!"
Back then, Zou Qingxiang helped Liu Miqiao, and his main job was to prepare skins. Until now, no one has surpassed him in bald hair care.
Zhao Yilin also reacted.
How can the three musketeers of neurology be left alone?
He also caught up.
The official's phone rang.
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Where are you? Drive faster, Mr. Tong is coming to the banquet."
"But, Liu Muqiao went for surgery."
"What?"
"Liu Muqiao went to rescue the patient. An old professor from Hopkins Hospital asked him for consultation, and they have already gone in."
"No, drag him back!"
"We can't drag him back! He has already entered the ward."
"Have to drag him out even after entering the ward!"
The order is very strict.
It is true that the matter is very big and everyone is here. Liu Maqiao must be there unless he is dead.
After receiving the call, he chased after her.
However, I was stopped.
He took out his ID.
Even when I took out my ID, no one paid attention.
This is a hospital.
Which hospital is the biggest?
In the hospital, the patient's life is the most important.
Security stopped him.
"I have diplomatic immunity!"
Exemption is a piece of shit!
In the hospital, no one has immunity. In the face of the disease, you must live if you want, and you must die if you want to die. Everyone is equal before death.
So, no matter what kind of diplomatic immunity you get, it’s strange that others will ignore you.
"I want to see Professor Smith!"
"Smith has entered the sterile area and cannot see anyone."
"I'm in a hurry."
"Smith has more urgent matters."
In hospitals, the most urgent thing is to save lives. In their eyes, everything in the world must make way for saving lives.
"Liu Muqiao, who went in with him, you all want to see him!"
"Oh, CEO, is that CEO a loser? I didn't vote for him last time. What's so great about him? He's just a loser. If I go to see him, I won't even go!"
Not withdrawn.
……
Liu Muqiao and Smith entered the intensive care unit.
Zhao Yilin began to examine the patient.
"High fever, deep coma, snoring breathing, heart rate 115 beats/minute, occasional premature ventricular bleeding, 28 breaths/minute, blood pressure 160/100mmHg, blood oxygen 85..."
He reported the inspection results.
In fact, these data are displayed on the monitor.
Performance consistent with brainstem hemorrhage.
Liu Muqiao's eyes were staring at the CT film, and there was 10 milliliters of bleeding in the brain stem.
The hematoma must be removed immediately!
"How is it? Is there any hope?" Smith asked.
Hopkins Hospital can't do anything about this type of bleeding. They didn't dare to enter the restricted area of life. Although they saw Liu Maqiao break through this bottleneck in the past two years, they also tried it. However, after doing three procedures,
Gave up.
Because, all three failed.
They never dare to try again.
"The probability of success is 60%." Liu Maqiao said.
Liu Muqiao is not 100% sure. The brainstem is too special. The problem is not a technical problem, but the disease itself.
The brainstem is not only a path for nerve fibers to pass through, but also has many life centers. The centers for blood pressure, body temperature, and breathing are all distributed here. Damage to any center will threaten life.
Zou Qingxiang gave the patient a bald head very skillfully.
The craftsmanship is still as skillful as before, fast and good, and shiny.
"Do it here?"
Only then did Smith react. He asked in horror. In his subconscious mind, the operation must be performed in the operating room.
"Can the patient be moved?"
Liu Muqiao asked a question.
Although the bed can be pushed and does not require a stretcher, it does need to be moved to get on the operating table.
Maybe, if you move it, the patient's breath will disappear.
Smith still couldn't come to his senses.
"Doing a puncture here is against the rules!"
In Western medicine, the procedures are very strict, to the point of being very rigid, and even mean that the procedures are correct.
That is to say, you have a better way to treat patients, but if it does not comply with the regulations, then it is illegal.
If a patient dies after being treated according to the procedures, you are not responsible. However, if the patient dies after treatment is not in compliance with the procedures, you still have to take responsibility even if you are not responsible.
Liu Muqiao glanced at Smith.
"It's not in compliance with the regulations for you to ask me to treat you - I'm not registered!" Liu Muqiao was a little angry.
"Uh...it's different. I'm willing to take responsibility." Smith said.
American law is different from that in China. The highest-ranking doctor in the treatment team has the right to decide who will treat the patient, even if it is a foreign doctor - as long as he is willing to bear all the consequences.
"Ask me to do it, do it here, go to the operating table, I don't agree, because the reason is very simple, the chance of death is very high, and brain herniation can occur very quickly."
Liu Muqiao's words were firm.
He is responsible for the patient.
"Okay, I compromised." Smith is an open-minded person who is willing to take responsibility.
Next, Zou Qingxiang began to disinfect.
This is all Zou Qingxiang’s job.
I haven’t done this kind of work for a long time.
He is now undergoing radical Parkinson's surgery, which also requires puncture, disinfection, and skin preparation.
He is the director, he is the boss, he does not do these tasks.
He also has a large group of lower-level doctors rushing to do it.
Besides, it’s so embarrassing for a senior expert to do this job.
However, today is different.
The doctor who performed the surgery this morning was Liu Muqiao. Liu Muqiao is a miracle doctor. Taishan Beidou, the sun in the sky, it’s an honor to do it for him.
More importantly, this taste is very good - it feels like going back to the past!
His preparation was quick and professional.
Zhao Yilin is still the same character as before. He focuses on the patient's vital signs. He has the dignity of a patron saint, staring at the ECG monitor almost intently.
The patient has premature ventricular contractions from time to time.
We need to be vigilant about premature ventricular contractions, which may turn into frequent premature ventricular contractions, and then ventricular fibrillation.
Ventricular fibrillation is what we usually call cardiac arrest.
Although there is no arrest, the heart contracts ineffectively and no blood is pumped out, which is equivalent to the heart stopping.
The defibrillator used in the hospital is to eliminate ventricular fibrillation and allow the heart to contract rhythmically.
