Chapter 416: Provincial Capital’s Professor

However, after Wang Qiang contacted everyone in the provincial capital, news came from the Secondary Hospital that the TIPS surgery had been completed!
What the F*CK!
Wang Qiang was very disappointed. Although he was not at home, he still inquired about the details of the TIPS surgery.
It was not Cheng Lixue who had hired someone to perform the surgery. Instead, it was Director Zhang who had gone to the General Hospital to hire someone to perform the surgery.
As long as it was not Cheng Lixue, everything would be fine. Moreover, did the General Hospital have an intervention department?
It was not that Wang Qiang looked down on the General Hospital. Compared to the Secondary Hospital, the General Hospital’s brain drain was even more serious. Moreover, the management was extremely rigid.
If they offer low pay, what right did they have to retain those capable doctors? Did they just rely on the doctor’s spirit of dedication? It was impossible!
Everyone was dedicated. If they were merely dedicated and not get paid, they would not be able to pay. They could not even afford to buy a house in Sea City. What right did they have to make people willing to be ‘dedicated’?
It was impossible for the General Hospital to do so!
The doctors in their intervention department who could perform surgeries had long gone to the South. Wang Qiang had always been in contact with them. Ever since they left, the excellent machines in the General Hospital had been left idle.
They had not perform an operation for many years, but they could perform a TIPS? What nonsense.
It was said that foreign professors came to perform surgeries, so Wang Qiang finally thought that it must be a coincidence. The foreign professors went to the General Hospital to exchange ideas and they were invited by Director Zhang to perform a few TIPS surgeries.
This was not a long-term solution. The provincial capital was so close to Sea City that one taking the high-speed train would arrive in an hour.
As long as he could contact a professor at the Provincial Capital Medical University’s Affiliated Hospital, he would be able to arrive at any time. Like that, would he not have pressure on Cheng Lixue?
Therefore, he shortened the time for learning and communication. At this moment, he had already taken the high-speed train back to the Secondary Hospital with the associate director of the Department of Interventional Medicine and Professor Gao Shaojie.
The doctors under him was already prepared for the TIPS operation. They forcefully obtained a decompensated patient with cirrhosis from the president’s patient pool and prepared to perform the TIPS operation.
The associate director was called Gao Shaojie. He was a young man from the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University. He was a doctoral student majoring in interventional therapy at Columbia University Medical Center in the United States.
After returning to China, he had originally wanted to go to the Imperial Capital, but the competition in the capital was simply too intense. Without background and education, he was about the same as other people. There was no way he could get into the capital’s hospital.
Therefore, Gao Shaojie decided to come to the Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University. He had developed quite well over the past few years. After all, he had done well in the surgery, especially the TIPS surgery.
“Little Wang, don’t be nervous,” Gao Shaojie, the deputy director of the Affiliated Hospital, comforted Wang Qiang when he saw that he was uneasy.
“Teacher Gao, I just took charge of the group here. The pressure is really great.” Wang Qiang forced a smile. “Fortunately, I have your support. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“It’s okay. The TIPS surgery is already very well-formed,” Gao Shaojie comforted him with a smile.
Indeed, in the provincial capital, Wang Qiang had personally witnessed Gao Shaojie perform more than ten TIPS surgeries. The success rate of the surgery reached more than 80%. The number of successful surgeries was maintained at around 10 punctures.
This level could be said to be quite high.
It was said that Teacher Gao had once visited the Mayo Clinic. His level was inferior to the Mayo Clinic, but it was not a lot more worse.
Looking at Gao Shaojie’s warm smile, Wang Qiang felt a little more at ease.
He did not know when he would be able to learn how to perform TIPS surgery.
Would there really be a day when he could choose any hospital in the country other than Imperial Capital or Sorcery Capital?
When the high-speed train arrived at Sea City, Wang Qiang’s junior doctors drove over to pick up Wang Qiang and Gao Shaojie.
After getting on the train, Wang Qiang could not wait to ask the people from the General Hospital about the process of performing TIPS surgery a few days ago.
“Director Wang, the chief resident of the Emergency Department from the General Hospital is here. There are still not many people in their interventional department,” a junior doctor said.
Was it just the chief resident of the Emergency Department?
Wang Qiang was relieved. The Emergency Department would at most perform an interventional embolization to stop the bleeding. It was still thousands of miles away from the TIPS operation.
“But there’s also a professor from Heidelberg University who came with us.”
“Huh?” Gao Shaojie’s ears perked up.
Heidelberg University Medical Center had a similar status in the medical field as Columbia University Medical Center, but the intervention was Heidelberg University’s specialty.
“What’s the professor’s name?” Gao Shaojie leaned forward and asked.
“Uh…” The young doctor did not remember the name of Professor Rudolf Wagner, but the teacher asked, so he could not say that he did not know.
“The professor has blonde hair and is very tall. By the way, he speaks fluent Manchurian. It seems that he has lived here for a long time.” The young doctor quickly said what he remembered.
Manchurian? Gao Shaojie really did not know which internationally famous professor could speak Manchurian.
“Tomorrow, Director Zhang arranged eight interventional surgeries.”
“Eight?” Gao Shaojie’s pupils shrank and he frowned. “Can it be completed?”
Even the professors in imperial city or Shanghai would only arrange for two TIPS surgeries a day at most.
Any more and it would be impossible to complete.
Why would he arrange so many. Gao Shaojie’s thoughts were very fast. His first thought was to perform eight TIPS surgeries a day.
It was not impossible, but that was a large medical center. A few professors could perform eight tips surgeries a day.
“Is there anyone else doing it?” Gao Shaojie grasped this point and asked.
“No, it’s just chief Zheng from the first municipal people’s hospital doing the surgery.”
“Is this a joke?” Gao Shaojie was displeased.
To perform an interventional surgery, one had to eat thread. Therefore, many doctors performed surgeries very crudely in order to eat less thread.
For example, at a certain hepatobiliary and pancreatic hospital in Shanghai.
The delayed development of interventional surgery in the country was directly related to the carelessness of the hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital in Shanghai.
However, there were more patients and fewer doctors. This was also an objective fact.
Gao Shaojie was a strict person. He would rather do fewer surgeries and earn less money than fool the patients.
Therefore, when he heard that the chief resident of the Emergency Department of the First Municipal Hospital had to perform eight TIPS surgeries a day, he immediately became angry!
“…” the young doctor was driving when he was shocked by Gao Shaojie’s anger. He immediately explained, “Teacher Gao, a few days ago, they also performed eight TIPS surgeries.”
“Huh?!”
“The surgeries… seemed to be quite successful. There was no hepatic encephalopathy after the surgery. They said that they would perform the TIPS surgery tomorrow first, and then the second recyclable stent that the patient who had the previous surgery had to be removed.”
” …” Gao Shaojie was speechless.
Was this 16 surgeries a day? The TIPS surgery was very difficult, but after the TIPS surgery, the two stents were removed because after the first covered stent opened up the vein, there was more venous blood that did not pass through the liver’s metabolism. The patient had serious hepatic encephalopathy, so they had no choice but to remove the second stent.
And the second stent was not removed.
Everyone knew that the effect was better if it was taken out. But taking out the stent… the risk of liver bleeding was too great!
Could it be that the professor had made a brand new surgical method? Gao Shaojie pondered, but he did not rule out this possibility.
Perhaps there was a new treatment method for TIPS surgery internationally that he did not know about?
As he thought, Gao Shaojie took out his phone, looked at the time, and hesitated for a few seconds before he found a number and dialed it.
