My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1482 - 595: A Doctor Can Only Advise—Now, He Is Just a Father (Part 2)

Zhou Can argued.

"Alright, even if this can’t be regarded as the gold standard, the Provincial Children’s Hospital has already performed a bone marrow puncture on the sick child, and the test results were negative. No abnormal cells were found, this should refute the conclusion of Evil Group Disease, right?"

The level of the old expert is still quite high.

He grasped some important doubts for argumentation, overturning Zhou Can’s diagnosis conclusion.

This is also the biggest difference between Zhou Can and the diagnoses of old experts.

Zhou Can’s thinking is very youthful, daring and cautious, often daring to think and act. Some difficult diseases inherently have complex symptoms, with various examination results being elusive, and it’s hard to draw effective conclusions with conventional diagnosis approaches.

Old experts tend to be conservative, overly cautious, and although the probability of mistakes is much smaller,

it’s also difficult to diagnose the real cause.

"Just relying on a single negative bone marrow puncture result to exclude Evil Group Disease, I disagree. Intestinal type malignant histiocytosis rarely affects the bone marrow, so a negative bone marrow puncture result is indeed normal. If we really want to clarify the cause, I suggest exploratory laparotomy or abdominal puncture. However, abdominal puncture is extremely difficult, laparoscopic exploration might be a more patient-friendly way to maximally identify the cause."

Zhou Can also knew that the little girl herself was very young, only five years old.

Moreover, she is currently severely ill, and the situation is extremely dangerous.

In this circumstance, performing exploratory laparotomy would be hard for the family to accept.

It would cause great harm to the sick child too.

"Thank you, all the experts and Director Tang, Dr. Zhou, for having an in-depth discussion about the cause of my daughter’s illness. It’s just that my daughter’s current situation is very unfavorable, implementing laparoscopic exploration, can she endure it? Will there be any danger?"

Lin Jinzhi raised objections.

Doctors can only provide treatment plans; the family is the real decision-maker.

No matter how good the treatment plan provided by the doctors, it’s useless if the family doesn’t agree.

"Any surgery carries risks. The risk of laparoscopic exploration is less than exploratory laparotomy but still carries considerable risk. The risk of abdominal puncture is relatively low, but the operation difficulty is extremely high, and the puncture result may not be accurate. In clinical practice, the identification of Evil Group Disease is often post-mortem. If Mr. Lin has concerns, based on your daughter’s abdominal mass location, I suggest a fiber colonoscopy and biopsy, which should also clarify the cause."

Zhou Can proposed a new examination plan.

Generally, Evil Group Disease is located in the colon area, easily identified by colonoscopy and biopsy.

But this little girl’s mass is in the ileocecal region, so the conclusion is unknown.

Taking the family’s concerns into account, Zhou Can could only propose such a compromise.

"Choosing fiber colonoscopy is indeed more suitable for Aixi."

Director Tang Fei spoke.

"I listen to the experts, since you all think it’s necessary to examine with a colonoscopy, then we’ll do it."

Lin Jinzhi hesitated no longer.

Especially after hearing Zhou Can mention many diagnoses of Evil Group Disease being post-mortem.

This made him very fearful inside.

"Alright, since Mr. Lin agrees, I will arrange it immediately. Evil Group Disease is very dangerous, the illness has been delayed for so long, it actually has already been a bit delayed, I will first check on Aixi’s situation. If it meets the colonoscopy requirements, I’ll arrange one for her tonight."

Director Tang Fei’s words were obviously paving a green channel for Mr. Lin’s daughter.

There are various ways to curry favor.

Her way of showing favor is much more sophisticated than Director Qu’s credit-seeking approach.

"Director Tang, Mr. Lin, doing a fiber colonoscopy is a good method, but considering Lin Yuxi’s current presence of bloody stools, colonoscopy might not be doable. If it doesn’t work, I still suggest laparoscopic examination."

Zhou Can spoke honestly to both.

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Zhou, I will consider it carefully."

Mr. Lin obviously still had certain concerns about the risks of laparoscopic examination,

After all, human life isn’t child’s play.

He absolutely does not wish any harm upon his daughter.

...

After the consultation, Zhou Can returned home.

Having been busy all day was very tiring in itself, and in the following days, with his continuous busy schedule, he no longer minded about Mr. Lin’s daughter.

Until around the sixth day, according to routine, he had to head to the pediatric department for consultation the next day.

He unexpectedly received a strange phone call late on the sixth night.

At the time, Zhou Can was cuddling Su Qianqian asleep. Seeing it was an unknown number, he initially didn’t plan to answer.

Out of a sense of responsibility as a doctor, he ultimately answered it.

As soon as he connected, he heard a trembling voice with a crying tone of a middle-aged man from the other end.

"Dr. Zhou, please save us..."

"May I ask who you are?"

Zhou Can’s heart tightened, was this person suffering a sudden heart attack or some such acute illness? Asking a doctor like him for help in such cases is indeed more efficient.

"I am Lin Jinzhi from the Health Bureau! My daughter’s condition keeps worsening, she’s almost gone. I regret not listening to your suggestion for a laparoscopic examination. I’m begging you, please come and save my daughter! I’m truly out of options..."

For the BOSS of the Health Bureau to be sobbing uncontrollably, it clearly shows that Mr. Lin’s daughter is gravely ill to an extremely serious degree.

That night during the consultation, Zhou Can repeatedly urged Mr. Lin to have a laparoscopic examination for his daughter.

Surgeons consider comprehensively the harm and gains from any surgery to the patient.

Laparoscopy causes more harm, but compared to life-saving, this risk is really negligible.

Now that medical technology is advanced, and Tuya Hospital’s laparoscopic surgery level is very high. Otherwise, with previous traditional methods, only open abdominal exploration could be done.

"Alright, I will head to the hospital immediately!"

Considering the special identity of the person on the other end, Zhou Can felt it really wasn’t appropriate to refuse.

He actually knew in his heart that even if he went, it could be hard to save the person.

There are so many experts in pediatrics who aren’t just passively eating there.

The treatment methods Zhou Can could think of, they could also think of.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, Director Tang Fei was already present.

Only such BOSS-level figures like Mr. Lin could have her rush to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Directors are usually particularly busy, disturbed work hours have great impact on their body and work.

"Dr. Zhou, I’m begging you, please think of a way to save my daughter! I deeply regret, for not listening to your advice, shouldn’t have hesitated. Now I’ve ended up causing my daughter harm..."

Upon seeing Zhou Can, Lin Jinzhi quickly grabbed Zhou Can’s hand, begging him tearfully.

In the face of life and death, status, fame, power, dignity... everything is just fleeting clouds.

At this moment, Lin Jinzhi is just the most ordinary father, filled with fear and worry over his daughter’s impending death, trying everything to plead for the doctor to save her.

"Mr. Lin, please don’t rush. Let me first understand the situation."

After Zhou Can finished speaking, he looked at Director Tang Fei.

"Director Tang, where is the sick child now?"

"In the ICU, the situation is very bad, probably... please go check it out!"

Director Tang Fei originally intended to say, it probably won’t survive tonight.

In the end, she swallowed her words.

She must consider the feelings of the family.

Zhou Can actually disliked going into the ICU, due to all kinds of strict sterilization procedures, which are very tedious.

The hand cleansing alone takes quite some time.

Along with changing into protective clothing and shoes.

Moreover, the atmosphere inside is particularly oppressive, making him exceptionally dislike those moments of grappling with death’s oppressive force.

Upon entering, he saw the little girl already extremely emaciated, her upper abdomen was more evidently swollen, breathing was rapid, her complexion was pallid without a trace of color, almost no different from the face of a cadaver.

"Alas!"

He sighed deeply.

After examining, he joined Director Tang and the accompanying Lin Jinzhi in the outside waiting room.

"The situation is too dire, and Evil Group Disease itself is extremely dangerous. Every hour of delay could result in significant progress of the illness. My capabilities are limited, truly helpless."

Zhou Can is not a deity, his medical skills are quite high, but there is a limit.

If he could elevate multiple medical skills to Level 7, he might have attempted saving the little girl’s life. Now, he didn’t even have the thought.

Because it’s truly hopeless.

"Dr. Zhou, I’ve heard from many medical staff and families in pediatrics about your various stories these days. I know you’re highly skilled, I’m begging you, save my daughter. Please go ahead save her, you need not bear any risk."

Lin Jinzhi once again begged persistently.
