The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 2680 Family and the first person responsible

Xiang Pingping carefully pulled out the catheter, but was dumbfounded to find that the Xuanji catheter was broken.

Holy shit! MLGBD!!

On the green grassland in director Xiang’s heart, countless alpacas galloped past, trampling a few pieces of green grass.

She had done thousands of cases of epidural anesthesia in her life, so why did an accident happen right here in her grandfather’s place?

That’s impossible!

Department Director Xiang held the catheter and carefully observed the severed end. He wanted to deny his previous thought.

However, reality proved that he was not seeing things. It was broken, and it was broken. No matter what, Xiang Heping was an old anesthetist with twenty to thirty years of experience. He could not be wrong about such a small matter.

The assistant was also stunned. What was going on? Could it be that director Xiang had learned a new skill from the capital? But it did not look like it from the Department director’s condition.

Just now, he subconsciously wanted to flatter rainbow, but he tactfully swallowed his words.

Because he saw director Xiang’s hands shaking. They were shaking badly.

“I’m looking for director Zhang!” Director Xiang said immediately.

“Oh, okay.” The assistant immediately picked up his phone and called Department Director Zhang of the orthopedics department.

The hospital was not big, but the orthopedics department was one of the largest departments. Since external injuries and car accidents involved simple bone fracture fixation surgeries, orthopedic surgery was one of the most frequent surgeries.

There were a few director Zhang, but at this time, the only director Zhang He could ask for was the one from the orthopedics department.

Because it was already time to get off work, it took director Zhang nearly half an hour to drive home and back.

After understanding the situation, he and Department Director li from the General Surgery Department changed their positions and administered local anesthesia before they cut open the incision to see what was going on.

He made an incision of 3 cm of skin along Xiang Ping’s puncture point, and the tissue Forceps blunt separated the subcutaneous tissue in turn to look for the remnant of the epidural catheter.

However, the result was disappointing. Even though he was very careful not to touch the end, there was no remnant of the supposed painstakingly duodulleductum in the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Originally, Xiang Pingping was still hoping for a bit of luck. If there was a bit of skin on the ruptured end of the painless duct, he might be able to get it out with a pair of forceps.

However, the truth told him that it was all a dream. All the catheter had fallen into the painstakingly removed patient’s head.

Xiang Heping’s face was pale, and he sat in the chair behind him in a daze. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stand, but his legs were a little weak.

“Director Xiang.” Director Zhang from the orthopedics department stood up and shook his head slightly.

The other people in the operating theater did not dare to speak at this time. Everyone tacitly remained silent.

“Peace.” A familiar voice with a thick local accent shouted.

“Ah, dad, what’s wrong?”

“Why aren’t you doing the surgery yet? I’m tired of lying down. ” The old man asked.

“There’s a small matter. You should lie down for a while.”

Hearing what the old man said, the head nurse immediately went forward and comforted him. She had already found a sterile sheet and covered the old man with it to prevent the temperature from dropping too quickly.

The head nurse really didn’t know what to do at this time, so she added another sterile list for the old man.

“Director Xiang.” Director Zhang from the orthopedics department gave a look, signaling for them to go out and talk.

Even though the patient was Xiang Heping’s father, some words were not appropriate to be said in the operating theater. Once the patient was nervous, and his heart attack acted up at such an old age, it would be like adding frost on the snow.

Xiang ping nodded and tried his best to control his emotions. He strode out of the operating theater with his sore and weak legs. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be a foreign object pressing on his harder spinal cord, which caused him to have difficulty walking.

When they arrived at the corridor, Department Director Zhang of the orthopedics department asked,”Old Xiang, are you sure the catheter fell in?”

“Yes.” Director Xiang nodded.

“How much did you lose?”

“More than six centimeters, about this ...” Director Xiang almost cried.

“Let’s do this. ” Chief physician Zhang said,”you know better than me that the epidural doesn’t lead to the brain. We can always pass the sterile operation. He was not afraid of foreign objects, but the possibility of compression of nerves and secondary infection was not high. Normally, there’s no need for surgery. We’ll just observe him conservatively. “

Conservative method ... Xiang Pingping was a little dumbfounded. ‘How can we just leave a 6-cm long catheter in the painstakingly dumbfounded patient?’

Although he would have made the same choice if he was clear-headed, how could he remain calm now? The thought of foreign objects made him feel uncomfortable all over.

“Old Xiang,” “I asked around, and a student has encountered this situation before,” director ou from the General Surgery Department said.

“What happened after that?” Xiang Heping quickly asked.

“Because the patient doesn’t have any symptoms, we’re just going to fool him. In the end ... She was unlucky. She explained the situation to her family, but they wouldn’t let it go. It was removed through surgery, and there were some problems during the surgery ...”

This was a typical case of adding hail to snow. But from another perspective, who would want to have a medical residue in their spine?

Saying this would only increase psychological panic, and Department Director ou of the General Surgery Department found it particularly boring, so he immediately stopped talking.

In fact, he felt a little lucky that he shouldn’t have. This was the old man of Xiang Ping’s family. What if he met other patients he didn’t know? Although the surgery had not been performed yet, and it did not have anything to do with him directly, there was always an indirect connection.

It was inevitable to smell like shit.

“AI.” Director ou sighed and stopped talking. He was from the General Surgery Department, and he had never seen an epidural catheter left in the body, let alone know what complications would occur.

It was better not to say anything. The more he said, the more wrong he would be. He didn’t know how to deal with it anyway.

“Old Zhang, do you think my dad will be paralyzed?” Xiang Heping asked with a long face.

“In theory, it won ‘t.” Director Zhang of the orthopedics department began to analyze.”From the position, it’s possible that there’s a slight loss of perception below the anterior superior ilial spine on both sides. It’s just that my senses are fading. I should be fine. “

Xiang Heping’s mind had already stopped working.

“This is the most optimistic analysis. In a serious case, there may be movement damage to the spinal nerve or the connective tissue of the duct, which may compress the corresponding section of the nerve and aggravate the previous underlying diseases, leading to ...” Said director Zhang.

He rambled on and on, and Xiang Ping’s mind was almost completely blank. It was useless to have more clinical experience. Whether there was a problem or not was just a matter of the probability.

What the f * ck, why did it have to fall on his head! Director Xiang kept repeating this in his heart.

Director Zhang realized that Xiang Heping was not listening to him, so he tactfully said a few simple words and then closed his mouth. In this kind of matter, it still depended on the choice of the patient’s family. And the patient in front of him was not only the patient’s family but also the first person responsible. How should he choose?

“Director Zhang, director ou, please give me a suggestion.” After a long silence, director Xiang pleaded.

“I suggest ...” The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

What suggestions could he have?
