When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 256: Chapter 257: A Gathering of Heroes!

“`

The news of Xing Yu’s injury still caused quite a stir within the circle, as a group of gossip media reporters, like cats smelling fish, all flocked to this city that was not usually in the entertainment industry’s spotlight, Anyang City.

The Hand Surgery Department of the Provincial People’s Hospital, where the Anyang city government had specially arranged for police to control the situation, was not letting the news leak out.

After all, the cause of Xing Yu’s injury was unclear, and no matter whether it was the event organizer’s responsibility or some other messy reason, the leaders did not want to see news that could tarnish Anyang’s reputation.

Four hours had passed since Xing Yu was injured, and during those hours, Xing Yu had completed debridement and all necessary check-ups and tests.

After Tan Zhonglin finished stitching up the blood vessels and nerves, they waited for the experts to arrive!

The deputy general manager of Xing Yu’s company personally came to the Provincial People’s Hospital of Dongyang Province, accompanied by the manager of the insurance company.

Xing Yu’s hands were insured for tens of millions in value, and now that they were damaged like this, the insurance company felt like crying!

Therefore, the manager responsible for Xing Yu’s case also followed.

Should anything happen to Xing Yu’s hands, the potential compensation could be as high as hundreds of millions!

This figure even started to make the insurance company tremble!

…

…

At three in the afternoon, with the arrival of one big name after another in the field of hand surgery, the threshold of the doctors’ office at Provincial People’s Hospital got higher and higher, with no entry for anyone below the rank of chief.

At the elevator and staircase entrances, patients could only enter the hospital with an employee’s approval, otherwise, they were strictly prohibited from entering.

In the doctors’ office, which usually accommodated all the staff for shift changes, now sat more than twenty highly esteemed individuals, all with furrowed brows, discussing the patient’s condition.

Xing Yu’s wife and children waited in the director’s office, while the deputy general manager of Xing Yu’s company and the insurance manager sat beside Xing Yu, patiently listening to the opinions of numerous experts.

The invited experts included Wang Yushan, the president of the Sixth Hospital in Modu City, Chang Honglei, the chief of Hand Surgery at Capital Jishuitan Hospital, and Professor Yu Jianbai, deputy chief physician of hand surgery at Nantong Hospital in Jiangsu Province…

It could be said that for the rescue of Xing Yu’s hands, several of the most influential figures in the national field of hand surgery had been invited!

Professor Tang, who created the Tang’s suturing method, was attending a conference in Europe and couldn’t make it in time, so the deputy chief of his department, Yu Jianbai, came in his place.

But Chen Cang was the youngest doctor in the office, and if it weren’t for Tan Zhonglin’s insistence, he wouldn’t have been allowed to stay.

On the large screen were photos of Xing Yu’s wounds, and everyone needed to quickly discuss and determine the best suturing method, and provide the optimal treatment strategy and plan.

Yet, no one spoke at the scene.

The snuff bottle area was already a particularly challenging area, and coupled with significant damage in the dorsal hand tendon sheath interval, proper healing was definitely a concern for the future.

Wang Yushan, seeing everyone around him remaining silent, knew that if he did not speak up, the silence might last for a long time. He cleared his throat and said loudly, “Well… colleagues, I won’t be shy, I’ll go first and state my opinion to spark further discussion.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They often communicated with each other and basically met once a year. As members of the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, they were familiar with each other and could call out each other’s names.

Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, and others were standing committee members of the Hand Surgery Branch, vice-chairpersons, at the same level as Professor Tang of Nanchang University Affiliated Hospital.

Wang Yushan looked at everyone and said solemnly, “Now that you all understand Mr. Xing’s condition, I won’t dwell on how difficult it is. Let me get straight to my thoughts and countermeasures.”

“Regarding the current situation, the most important aspect of suturing three tendons in the hand is to prevent adhesions. However, if we only focus on preventing adhesions, using the Bunnell suture would be quite good, but its operation is difficult, and it’s not suitable for patients with severe dorsum injuries. The six-strand suturing method of Tang is obviously no longer suitable for flexor tendons…” After Wang Yushan’s detailed analysis, he continued, “I think the chances of preventing adhesions are now less than sixty percent!”

“This does not even take into account the inflammatory injuries brought by rehabilitation, as well as the patient’s own tendinitis…”

“`

Everyone nodded slightly.

Every profession has its occupational diseases!

Playing the piano might seem glamorous, but every pianist needs to regularly care for and maintain their hands.

Yet, even so, tendon sheath inflammation is a topic that can’t be avoided!

Xing Yu had tendon sheath inflammation, and not just in one place—it often recurred.

For hands that play the piano, tendon sheath inflammation can’t be recklessly treated with steroid injections, and surgery is even more risky.

Now, these would become factors that could affect the success of the surgery!

Upon hearing this, Xing Yu couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Chang Honglei nodded, “Mmm, Director Wang’s point is very valid, I feel the same way, but I have a small suggestion. We could try using the M-Tang method. I remember Professor Yu’s latest research on M-tang is targeted for these types of adhesions…”

After Wang Yushan started off, everyone began discussing amongst themselves. Chen Cang didn’t speak, and listened intently; their understanding of tendon suturing was fairly profound.

However, Chen Cang was different now than before; he could even pick out their deficiencies. But even when he recognized these, he remained silent; he was no fool.

Time passed, second by second.

The group still hadn’t come to a unified consensus.

Neither unified nor opposed!

This became the most awkward and terrifying situation.

Seeing this made Xing Yu and the others beside him feel anxious.

The company’s vice president said directly, “Experts, we don’t understand what treatment is better, and I know that in this situation, nobody wants to take responsibility. But I hope everyone can give us a relatively prudent plan, or tell us what the success rate and cure rate are after treatment!”

Xing Yu also nodded seriously, “Yes, directors and experts, just do your best. There’s no need to put pressure on everyone. I understand my condition, so just give us a plan with whatever confidence level you have, and I’ll make my own choice. I won’t trouble anyone, I guarantee it here!”

Wang Yushan and others exchanged glances, after a moment.

Wang Yushan said, “I can guarantee a fifty percent cure rate! An eighty percent chance of significant improvement.”

Cure rate and treatment rate are two totally different concepts. In the field of medicine, there are several different standards for treatment outcomes, which are based on comprehensive indicators for the convenience of future research. They are: cured, significant improvement, effective, and ineffective.

“Cured” refers to complete recovery, while “significant improvement” and “effective” indicate certain deficiencies in some areas, with various indicators falling short.

When Wang Baoshan said this, everyone was slightly startled!

Even Chang Honglei was somewhat surprised—how could it be so high?

She could only guarantee a thirty to forty percent cure rate; there were too many risk factors to expect no adhesions.

It’s hard to make a one hundred percent estimate!

Such estimates are based on their sufficient understanding of the disease.

It is an issue of experience, but also of ability!
