Back to 1999: From operating surgeons to becoming a top doctor

"What can we do?"

Liao Changgong asked Xiao Chenguang as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

At this moment, the other family members of the old man hurried over.

"Changgong, is your father okay?"

The old woman with silver hair trembled towards the emergency room.

"Mom, it's okay, don't worry, I have invited the best doctors in our Yingcheng, it will definitely be okay."

Liao Changgong hurriedly supported the old woman and came to the emergency room.

"Xiao... Director Xiao, hello, I'm sorry to bother you."

The old woman saw that the person standing in the emergency room was Xiao Chenguang.

Her attitude became respectful, it seemed that she had also seen Xiao Chenguang's interview on TV.

"Auntie, don't be like this, it's just right, I want to ask you something."

Xiao Chenguang didn't expect that even the old men and women in their sixties and seventies knew him.

"Director Xiao, is it about my old man?"

"Yes, that's right. I want to ask, has the old man eaten anything that is hard to digest and hard these two days?"

Through contact, Xiao Chenguang knew that the old woman had a high level of cultural literacy and was very good at speaking.

Every time Xiao Chenguang asked, the old woman could grasp the key points and answer. The efficiency of this kind of consultation was surprisingly high.

Xiao Chenguang also quickly understood the specific situation of the patient.

"The patient loves to eat peanuts, especially fried peanuts, but when he ate the day before yesterday, because of cerebral infarction, his swallowing function was not good, and he choked directly into his lungs. From this situation, the choking position is quite deep, and he can't cough it out."

Xiao Chenguang was analyzing the condition, and the staff of the imaging department on the other side had already printed out the film.

"Look, there is a very obvious high-density foreign body shadow in the tongue segment of the left upper lobe of the old man's lung. Judging from the shape, it should be the peanuts that choked him."

Xiao Chenguang pointed to a corner of the CT film and said to the family.

In fact, according to general experience, the right lung is prone to aspiration. Due to physiological structure, the main bronchus of the right lung is short and straight, making it easier to choke foreign objects.

But the old man in front of him obviously did not take the usual route and choked the peanuts directly into the thin and long left main bronchus.

That is why he continued to choke and cough, and the foreign objects were difficult to remove.

"Director Xiao, you just said, is there any way to remove the foreign objects without surgery?"

Liao Changgong became even more anxious after learning that his father had a foreign body aspiration.

How could it be comfortable to have something stuck in the lungs? If he had not returned in time today, his father's condition might have been even worse.

"Do a fiber bronchoscope, wash the lungs, and use a special small forceps to clamp out the foreign body."

"Bronchoscopy?"

Liao Changgong was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never heard of such a thing.

"An endoscopic technique, new, not used in our Yingcheng, but it should be available in the provincial capital. I can call and ask."

The endoscopic technique Xiao Chenguang mentioned is often used in later generations.

For example, if a child has a persistent high fever caused by mycoplasma infection and sputum plugs blocking the bronchi, a bronchoscope can be used for exploration, lung washing, and clearing inflammation.

Although it is a bit painful, the child will be cured immediately after the operation, which is a major progress in the development of endoscopic technology so far.

"If even this bronchoscope can't help, then surgery is the only option, right?"

Liao Changgong asked out his concerns.

"Yes, surgery must be performed at that time." Xiao Chenguang said, and seeing that Liao Changgong's eyes were obviously dim, he added another sentence.

Of course, this sentence was also because he had a good relationship with Liao Changgong and believed in him.

If it was the patient with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm that he met before, the latter sentence would definitely not be said.

"Reporter Liao, don't worry too much. The old man's aspiration didn't last long, and the foreign body is relatively stable. It's still easy to remove with a fiberoptic bronchoscope."

Xiao Chenguang's confidence is due to his rich clinical experience.

Of course, there are also some patients with aspiration who delayed their condition because they were not discovered in time, and finally had to undergo surgery.

He once met a six-year-old child who had a fever for nearly a year. He was checked locally for more than half a year and was treated for a cold and fever.

A lot of money was spent, but the root cause was not removed. There was no choice but to come to the capital for medical treatment. At that time, Xiao Chenguang went to consult. Through the film combined with bronchoscopy, it was discovered that there was a nearly one-centimeter screw hidden in the basal ganglia of the lower segment of the right lobe of the child.

This scared everyone at the time.

After asking, I learned that it was probably because the child was idle and stuffed the screw into his nostrils, and accidentally choked into his lungs.

Because it took too long, the screw adhered to the surrounding lungs, and finally the foreign body could only be removed through thoracoscopic surgery.

But the patient in front of me is not in such a bad condition., it is urgent only if there is a basic disease.

As long as the provincial capital has the equipment, Xiao Chenguang can naturally help the patient solve this problem.

He thought about it, took out his mobile phone from his outer pocket, and started to call Xu Guoqiang at the Second Hospital of the Provincial Capital.

…

Hepatobiliary Surgery, office.

During the time since Xiao Chenguang left, Xu Guoqiang has not been as smooth as he imagined.

Qiao Hong's father's radical surgery for gallbladder cancer was successfully completed that night, and the laparoscopic surgery after three-dimensional reconstruction the next day should have made Xu Guoqiang's status further.

Even the dean said that when the surgical building was completed, he would give him a separate floor as a minimally invasive surgical ward.

But.

His mother Shen Yiwei, who went back on his words and had no martial ethics, really didn't want any face at all.

The promise he made on the stage in front of everyone was turned against later.

Of course, it's not a complete turn against people.

Instead, he used the excuse of minimally invasive technology to put three layers of tight rings on Xu Guoqiang's head.

In the name of the department director, he stipulated that all routine surgeries, including laparoscopic surgeries, must be signed by him before they can be performed.

As for Xu Guoqiang, he was given the identity of the person in charge of minimally invasive technology.

He said that he was asked to concentrate on research for the development of laparoscopic technology, but in the future, all surgeries involving surgery, whether emergency or elective, must be handed over to others.

Xu Guoqiang was very depressed and even had the urge to curse.

Although he has been promoting laparoscopic technology over the years, many surgeries, especially level 4 complex major surgeries, can only be performed by major surgery.

He knows this better than anyone else.

But now, Shen Yiwei only allows him to perform laparoscopic surgery, under the pretext of preparing for the minimally invasive surgery to be established in the future.

But Xu Guoqiang has been performing traditional surgeries for nearly 20 years. It is his specialty and what he is most proud of. Now he is told not to do it, which is like cutting off one of Xu Guoqiang's arms.

"It will take another year or two for the surgical building to be completed. I don't know when the minimally invasive surgery will open. Shen Yiwei, this bastard, wants to crush me to death in these few years."

Xu Guoqiang was frowning and sighing in the office.

Laparoscopy is not as good as traditional surgery now. Except for some specific diseases, other major surgeries can't be performed, and Xu Guoqiang dare not do it.

During this period, Xu Guoqiang became the most idle person in the department. He had no surgeries to perform and could only sit in the office.

It stands to reason that with idleness, his complexion should be better. But now Xu Guoqiang not only has an ugly complexion, but also loses hair in clumps. His originally dense hair has immediately become a Mediterranean hairstyle.

As for developing new technologies, it is not that easy.

Shen Yiwei was staring at him, just wanting to make Xu Guoqiang anxious. If he rashly developed new technology at this time, he would fall into a trap if something went wrong.

"At the beginning, I was full of confidence to invite Xiao Xiao to the Second Hospital of the Provincial Capital, and promised to give him the position of deputy director of minimally invasive surgery. Now it seems that whether I can keep my current position as deputy director is still a different matter."

When Xu Guoqiang thought of his warm invitation at the beginning, he felt particularly embarrassed, and even felt a little uneasy during this period.

He was afraid that Xiao Chenguang would change his mind and call him to work in the Second Hospital of the Provincial Capital.

At that time, he would be in trouble. How could he take care of others?

Just when Xu Guoqiang's thoughts were flying, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

This made his heart shrink, and a kind of ominous premonition came over him.

He turned on the screen and smiled bitterly. It was really as if the devil was mentioned, and the devil appeared on the phone. It was Xiao Chenguang's number.

"Hello, Xiao Xiao, why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"

Xu Guoqiang asked cautiously.
