My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1271 - 500: Exchange of Interests, The Surgery Is About to Go Wrong (Part 2)
Previously on My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points...
Monthly salaries hit staggering numbers.
Emergency and outpatient volumes in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department keep falling, with plenty of staff to support, alongside land buys for a new campus expansion. Hidden beneath the flashy prosperity lies danger everywhere.
A thousand-mile dam crumbles from ant holes.
The Third Hospital could tumble too, likely after just one or two more bad breaks.
Last time's flop with the Japanese Cardiac experts' surgery live-stream piled on the pain.
What schemes run through the Third Hospital leaders' minds?
See them now, shelling out cash to bring in this streamer to smear Tuya Hospital's Cardiothoracic Surgery department—probably just aiming to hurt rivals for their own gain. Since provincial Cardiothoracic Surgery cases are finite, smearing Tuya's department will surely slash their emergency and outpatient flows.
Soon enough, some of those fleeing patients will head straight to the Third Hospital.
The Third Hospital grabbed its chance when Tuya's Director Hu Kan died, weakening their Cardiothoracic Surgery might, then lured Japanese Cardiac experts and snapped up top-tier Japanese gear to surge ahead fast.
In medicine circles, folks call this a nouveau riche move.
No shade intended here.
Simply poaching a Japanese Cardiac team and grabbing full advanced equipment builds a flashy powerhouse—like a bloated tree without deep roots.
Tuya Hospital built its power over generations of hard work, earning today's status.
Such solid roots outmatch what the Third Hospital's upstart wealth can claim.
Sure, if Tuya's Cardiothoracic Department buckled in past clashes and lost, things would differ.
Losing heaps of emergency and outpatient patients would swiftly demote Tuya's Cardiothoracic Surgery to third-rate.
Then, droves of doctors and nurses would hunt new jobs.
Flush with triumph, the Third Hospital would see booming business, perfectly poised to scoop up Tuya's staff—like a snake devouring an elephant.
Yet human schemes fall short of heaven's will.
Backed fully by Zhou Can, Tuya's Cardiothoracic Surgery department powered through endless trials.
When foes collide, one side's endurance spells the other's doom.
The Third Hospital now shows clear defeat signs.
It craves a win badly.
Making Tuya's Cardiothoracic department flop in a surgery live-stream—that's the triumph it hungers for most.
"After discussing with the hospital leadership, we have agreed to let you live-stream. However, there’s a condition: our hospital needs to record it, and later it may be used for promotional purposes. Of course, if promotional material is used, your face will be blurred. If you agree, please sign on this agreement."
A staffer from Vice Director Ye stepped in to chat with the patient.
The agreement seemed freshly drawn up.
They carried it right into the intervention room, urging the patient to sign consent on the spot.
This blocked future arguments.
They figured the patient wouldn't balk.
Essentially, both sides traded benefits, though no one admits it outright.
The patient scanned the agreement, saw nothing wrong, and signed.
Refuse to sign, and the hospital blocks the surgery live-stream for sure.
Thus, it's a straight benefit swap.
Signed up, the patient fired up his phone with glee to launch the stream.
"Dear family members, sorry for the delay; I’ve been in communication with Tuya Hospital about the live-streaming matters. Finally, I received the hospital’s consent, so everyone now has the chance to watch the entire surgery process. Next, I’ll undergo surgery while live-streaming for everyone, please continue to support Brother Wang!"
In streams, calling fans 'family' is pure hype.
Thinking the streamer truly sees you as kin? Way too innocent.
The streamer chases sales, gifts, and all sorts of backing.
"It has started, it has started!"
"Great! Finally, the live stream has begun; I thought there wouldn’t be a chance to watch it today!"
"Bring in more people!"
Keen fans rushed to hype it in groups and share the stream room.
This patient's fanbase packs real punch, so viewers online blasted past a thousand fast and climbed higher.
Live-streaming surgery is fresh and thrilling.
Curiosity draws crowds, and unless swamped, folks love tuning in awhile.
That keeps drop-off super low.
At this pace, this stream's peak viewers will shatter records.
Hitting over a hundred thousand? No shock.
In a Third Hospital office, Vice Director Zhang watched intently, sticking around past quitting time for it.
As ops vice director, he ensures every yuan spent pays off.
Can't justify waste to the bosses otherwise.
Spotting 'Brother Wang' kick off the stream, Vice Director Zhang buzzed with thrill.
"Haha, today I will undoubtedly make a name for myself, directly causing Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department’s online failure, ruining their reputation." The Third Hospital's Cardiac Surgery unit thirsted for victory.
Vice Director Zhang pinged the top hospital brass quick, urging them to tune in.
In the intervention OR, prep complete, Zhou Can pierced the patient’s Femoral Artery, sliding in slim guidewires.
For heart vessel interventions, Femoral Artery entry rules as top choice.
To seasoned intervention pro Zhou Can, snaking into the aorta via Femoral Artery feels effortless.
The stream cam locked on him and the front imaging display.
In mere 37 seconds, Zhou Can guided the wire expertly to the clogged No. 1 vessel spot.
This key vessel, once cleared, restores over 70% heart blood flow right away.
Stream viewers rocketed past fifty thousand, surging onward.
TikTok live-stream boosts hinge on steady viewers, especially loyal lamp-sign fans sticking around—that weighs huge.
Viewers topping fifty thousand lit up the patient's grin.
His peak ever since streaming began.
Norm is around ten thousand online, rare spikes to thirty thousand that fade quick.
In streaming like anywhere, true skill shines bright.
"Oh my god, this young doctor is amazing, taking only 37 seconds from puncture to reaching the cardiovascular blockage, definitely director-level skill."
"Hmph, an average director doesn’t have that level of skill!"
"Seems like Tuya truly isn’t just for show, they indeed have many experts!"
"Nonsense, one of the top-ranked comprehensive strength hospitals in the province, it’s impossible not to have experts."
"You guys clearly don’t know. Since it’s an online live-stream, they’d obviously choose the most skilled intervention surgery doctor to perform!"
…
Live chat flew by in a frenzy.
Medical pros lurked among watchers, many there to study the stream.
Zhou Can's puncture in over thirty seconds and wire to blockage stunned them.
Post-Director Hu Kan's death, insiders figured Tuya's Cardiothoracic Surgery lacked true masters.
Now, Zhou Can's skill display proved their views too narrow.
"It’s stuck, it’s stuck! Haha, looks like it will fail soon!"
"The vascular calcification appears serious; it’s difficult to penetrate through!"
"Share, share!"
"Sitting and waiting for the failure!"
Spectators stirring drama loved the chaos, dying to watch Zhou Can botch the op.
"It’s not working, the vascular calcification is too severe, the guidewire can’t pass through."
Fine sweat dotted Zhou Can’s brow.
Yet Femoral Artery puncture was merely routine; he held a backup reverse puncture strategy ready.
