Chapter 1322: Chapter 522: Neither Assistant Surgeon Works—Just Empty Boasting

The authority of the Medical Department is quite substantial.

For surgeries involving significant risks, approval from the Medical Department is typically required. Without the leadership's endorsement, any negative outcome would fall directly on the performing doctor.

At the very least, the department to which the doctor belongs would face severe repercussions and bear the brunt of the blame.

Only with official approval can the hospital assume responsibility for any complications that may arise.

This is a standard practice within the industry.

If Director Huang withholds his consent, which doctor would dare to proceed with the surgery? No one would jeopardize their career and future prospects.

“What kind of justification are you seeking?”

Zhou Can's gaze lifted towards Director Huang.

Having dealt with various hospital administrators before, Zhou Can remained composed. Facing Director Huang's imposing presence and authority, he was like an unassuming hill, unmoved by a passing breeze.

“A single, compelling reason will suffice! Just as you managed to convince the others!”

It was evident that Director Huang was deliberately creating obstacles for Zhou Can.

His underlying motives remained concealed for the moment.

The phrase “official” implies a dual nature; leaders possess the power to dictate terms.

If Zhou Can intended to save Vice Dean Lu, he absolutely had to gain Director Huang's approval.

Even recognizing the deliberate obstruction, he could not display any overt defiance.

To convince a surgeon, one presents a surgical plan and details the patient's condition and etiology. To satisfy an anesthesiologist, one assures patient safety throughout the procedure and recovery. However, persuading Director Huang might require arguments that resonate both logically and emotionally.

“Firstly, as fellow medical professionals, I am confident that, like us, you deeply desire the patient’s survival. Furthermore, successfully saving a life from such a dire situation, a victim of a high fall, would significantly enhance the reputation of the Provincial People’s Hospital. It also presents a valuable opportunity to gain unique treatment experience. If these points are insufficient reasons, I have observed that the Provincial People’s Hospital operates with remarkable discipline.”

“The fact that you instill such exemplary conduct in your clinical staff suggests a profound medical ethos, a composed demeanor, and an altruistic spirit, driven by immense compassion and a resolute commitment to alleviating suffering. I humbly acknowledge my own aspirations, which I believe align with yours. Those who share common goals are naturally drawn together. As I come from a different institution, you have every reason to join forces with us in saving this patient.”

Following Zhou Can’s eloquent plea, Director Huang offered a nod of agreement.

“The young doctor from Tuya Hospital is quite skilled at touching the heartstrings! Since a consensus has been reached, let us proceed swiftly with saving the patient! I will handle the necessary approvals and coordinate the operating room schedule; the rest is in your hands.”

A slight smile graced Director Huang’s face, reminiscent of the sun breaking through the clouds.

A collective sense of relief and shared purpose washed over the room.

At this crucial juncture, their focus was unified: the preservation of the patient’s life.

Lu Fen quietly brushed away tears of profound relief.

Without experiencing it firsthand, one could not fully grasp the immense effort Zhou Can was investing in her father’s recovery.

Her deep-seated gratitude towards Zhou Can was a sentiment held closely within her heart.

Moreover, her burgeoning trust in Zhou Can solidified even further.

A person her father entrusted with his very life was undoubtedly worthy of her own trust.

Witnessing Zhou Can’s tireless dedication to her father’s rescue, her confidence in him naturally deepened.

…

Inside the endoscopy operating room, anesthesiologist Ming Xin personally oversaw the team, ensuring the successful execution of the surgery.

She was assisted by three promising young doctors, each demonstrating exceptional skill.

Being entrusted with leading such a critical surgery indicated their status as key mentees. While a chief physician might mentor numerous students throughout their career, truly exceptional successors are exceedingly rare.

Their numbers seldom exceed five.

Because nurturing a successor requires a considerable investment of time and effort.

It is not a feat achieved through mere perfunctory guidance during an operation.

Zhou Can observed the team meticulously attaching life-monitoring sensors to Deputy Director Lu and adjusting ventilator settings, a process that instilled a sense of urgency within him.

However, he had no intention of intervening or assisting directly.

Being granted the privilege to participate as a guest in this surgery was already a significant honor.

Stepping in to claim further recognition would appear as mere ostentation.

Given that the patient had been transferred directly from the ICU, many preliminary anesthesia procedures were already completed. Tasks such as skin preparation before the operation were also deemed unnecessary.

Once all preparations were finalized, the team was ready to proceed with general inhalation anesthesia.

The laparoscopic procedure itself was to be performed by Director Gou Qiong of Thoracic Surgery, who joined the operation with his specialized team.

Their proficiency in making small abdominal incisions was evident – a display of simple, efficient, and professional technique.

This was precisely what one would expect from a leading tertiary hospital.

The surgical prowess displayed was truly remarkable. Director Gou Qiong and his team of medical assistants represented just a fraction of the Provincial People’s Hospital's overall medical expertise.

Generally speaking, cardiothoracic surgery is recognized as being more intricate and highly specialized.

The complexities of cerebrovascular surgery and neurosurgery speak for themselves.

The challenge presented by thoracic surgery aligns closely with that found in multiple subdivisions within General Surgery.

Director Gou Qiong, accompanied by another assistant physician who was over forty years old, undertook the laparoscopic procedure. Their initial objective was to mend the fractured spleen.

Director Wu Yongming from Neurosurgery and Director Xiang from the Intensive Care Medicine Department closely monitored the proceedings on the screen.

Director Xiang Fei, perceiving a valuable learning opportunity, had also brought two of his most promising students.

Mirroring Director Gou Qiong's actions, Director Wu Yongming of Neurosurgery had assembled his complete surgical crew for the observation.
