Capítulo 1324: Chapter 522: Both Medical Assistants Are Useless—All Bark and No Bite (Part 3)

As he learned the circulating nurse was preparing a blood transfusion for the patient, his anxiety intensified.

Under typical circumstances, it's rare to easily sever a blood vessel during ligation.

This situation could only mean one thing: Deputy Director Lu's blood vessels were significantly more delicate than usual.

The patient's blood pressure had fallen to 82, a critical state but not yet immediately life-threatening.

It would be optimal to use this moment to swiftly repair the damaged vessel.

With reduced blood pressure, achieving hemostasis would inherently be less challenging.

However, the circulating nurse didn't seem to take Zhou Can's words seriously.

She privately thought it presumptuous for a young doctor from another hospital to consider himself so important.

Her gaze then turned to Director Ming Xin.

The anesthesiologist holds ultimate authority and decision-making power regarding blood transfusions.

“Heed Dr. Zhou’s advice; withhold the blood transfusion for the time being.”

Director Ming Xin corroborated Zhou Can’s assessment.

“Directors Gou and Wu, you must immediately devise a method to staunch the bleeding and repair the blood vessel. Your window of opportunity is extremely limited, likely not exceeding thirty minutes. For maximum safety, it would be best to conclude all work on this vessel within twenty minutes. Should you fail to achieve immediate hemostasis, sustained bleeding will cause a further, more dangerous drop in blood pressure.”

She adeptly transferred the primary responsibility back to the two lead surgeons.

This is a hallmark of an experienced anesthesiologist: when faced with complications, she doesn't shoulder the burden alone but strategically involves the lead surgeons, ensuring shared responsibility.

“The patient’s vessels are as fragile as dried tofu; what can we possibly do? This is driving me mad!”

The two assistant surgeons expressed their distress, stamping their feet.

Wu Yongming, the lead director, contemplated intervening himself. However, observing the profound difficulty in controlling the hemorrhage, he hesitated, lacking the confidence to step in lest he find himself in an embarrassing situation.

The two assistant surgeons were hardly incompetent.

While their skills might not perfectly match his as the lead surgeon, the disparity was not significant.

“May I attempt it?”

Zhou Can addressed the two assistant doctors.

Director Tang and another assistant surgeon exchanged surprised glances. Despite acknowledging Zhou Can’s considerable abilities, his youth was undeniable.

The complexity of achieving hemostasis was immense.

It was questionable whether even Director Wu or Director Gou could succeed where they had struggled.

“Dr. Zhou possesses exceptional expertise in endoscopic and interventional surgery; why not grant him the opportunity?” Director Xiang Fei offered his support for Zhou Can.

At this juncture, Director Gou Qiong's consent was crucial.

“Allow Dr. Zhou to try!”

Although Director Gou Qiong harbored doubts about Zhou Can's capabilities, his trust in Director Xiang Fei was substantial.

He thus gave his assent.

“Dr. Zhou, please proceed within the scope of your abilities and do not push yourself unnecessarily. If ligation proves unfeasible, we can explore alternative strategies.”

Director Gou Qiong had not personally witnessed Zhou Can's surgical prowess.

Consequently, a degree of apprehension persisted.

“Understood. I will operate with utmost caution.”

Having agreed, Zhou Can stepped forward to assume the role. He expertly guided the robotic arm, commencing an examination of the patient's compromised blood vessel.

Observing his surgical technique, several directors felt a palpable sense of relief.

His skill level was remarkably high!

It was on par with the expertise of the two assistant surgeons.

Possessing such advanced endoscopic surgery skills at such a young age, how had he honed them?

However, the relief soon gave way to furrowed brows.

Following Zhou Can's assumption of control, he continued manipulating the endoscopic arm to meticulously probe the blood vessel, yet displayed no apparent intent to ligate it.

The patient's abdominal hemorrhage persisted unabated; if the bleeding wasn't controlled, would his approach prove effective?

Was it possible this young doctor was merely all bluster and no substance?
