Xun Siping quickly completed the resection of Guo Ke's stomach tumor, and gave lymph node cleaning according to the standard, and Jiang Tao assisted as an assistant in the whole operation, so it was clear that it was indeed very successful, and half of the stomach was retained, which basically would not have a particularly big impact on the patient's future life.

A few days after the operation, Guo Ke was discharged from the hospital and went home, and in the following period, he came here on time for radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment according to the requirements of the hospital, and everything went relatively smoothly. However, in the subsequent routine bloodstains, Xun Siping found that something was very wrong, because after Guo Ke's stomach cancer surgery, his physical indicators were still in an unstable state, especially important things like tumor markers, which were almost the same as surgery, which made him very puzzled.

Not only Xun Siping, but also Jiang Tao and several other doctors in the oncology department at that time were puzzled by this situation. The surgery was very clean, and a tumor as large as the stomach was removed, even if it would recur later, it would not be so fast, and those indicators would not continue to remain high.

From Guo Ke's feedback, the hospital was also very uneasy, his condition was very poor, after the period of ventilation, there was still no sign, and the person was even thinner, and he could only rely on nutrient solution to maintain his life function. Not long after, Guo Ke's respiratory system had another problem and he was sent to the hospital for rescue, and the emergency department considered that he was sick after cancer surgery, so he called Xun Siping for consultation.

Just when they were still anxious about breathing problems and couldn't find the cause, Guo Ke vomited blood and incontinence, and was immediately transferred to the ICU, but his problem was still not effectively suppressed, often stopped bleeding, and couldn't breathe, gave oxygen, began to tremble again, and ventricular fibrillation occurred several times, and the emergency department made every effort to save Guo Ke's life temporarily.

But then, a real problem is in front of the Guo family, that is, the high medical expenses, which they can hardly afford. Tumor surgery is not expensive, but a complete set of tests, follow-up radiotherapy and chemotherapy are a lot of expenses, and what's worse is that Guo Ke has a full range of illness and is admitted to the intensive care unit, which is particularly expensive. Not to mention anything else, just staying in the ICU for one day is half a month's salary for Ding Mei, if it is okay in the short term, it will definitely not be able to withstand it for a long time. At that time, their son Guo Wei was still in college, and the family's financial situation took a sharp turn.

Just when the hospital and the family were in a hurry, I didn't know where the media got the news, and they flocked to it, let alone who accepted the interview that shouldn't have been, so for a while, all the spearheads were pointed at the hospital and Xun Siping. In the local newspaper, the front page of the headline published an exaggerated report that a surgery in the Sixth Hospital cost millions, which attracted people's attention with such a gimmick, and the people did not trust the hospital at all, thinking that it was just as the media said, doctors and hospitals deliberately made a simple operation for patients so complicated in order to make more money.

Xun Siping couldn't laugh or cry about this, so he could only ignore it, and the hospital wanted to explain, but in the overwhelming questioning, it seemed so insignificant. They also thought of Guo Ke's wife, Ding Mei, if the family came out to testify, it was not the Sixth Hospital that deliberately made people sick for money.

Ding Mei is a staff member of a local institution and is a decent person, so she immediately agreed. The hospital saw the dawn and just breathed a sigh of relief, however, to everyone's surprise, Guo Ke suddenly fell ill that night, and after the hospital's all-out rescue, he still died, and he died before dawn.

At this moment, Ding Mei completely collapsed, and she could no longer show up to testify, but because she couldn't accept the pain of losing her beloved, she attacked and distrusted the hospital. The hospital arranged a media conference for her on the afternoon of the next day, which was originally to clarify herself, but Ding Mei suddenly became troubled and put all the blame on the hospital and the attending doctor Xun Siping, so that public opinion was in an uproar, and they completely lost the opportunity to prove themselves.

To make matters worse, the uproar caused by Guo Ke's death caught the attention of city leaders and authorities, who were so dissatisfied with the hospital's handling that they ordered an immediate investigation into the cause of the medical malpractice. At that time, the Sixth Hospital, which was on the cusp of the storm, lost its credibility and could only use the form of crisis public relations to break the kettle and sink the boat, and all the doctors involved in Guo Ke's treatment, including Xun Siping, Jiang Tao and the medical staff of the emergency department, were all suspended for review, especially the position of department director who saw his hands in the eyes of Xun Siping, which has come to naught.

It took Jiang Tao a long time to finish the narrative, took his eyes back from the window, looked at Shen Mingyue and Li Yiting, and sighed deeply, "Hey! That's all I know, I told you all today, I hope you can keep it as secret as possible, after all, the impact of that incident is very bad, much more serious than what Xiang Wen is hearing right now." As for why Xun Siping committed suicide, I can only guess that it was the double blow of too much pressure and the loss of the department director, but these are just my inferences. After he died, we just attended his funeral and never mentioned his name in public again. ”

Li Yiting and the others finally understood the process of the incident back then, but there are still many questions, Jiang Tao should not hide it here, if he wants to completely understand the inside, it seems that he has to ask another party.

"Director Jiang, then what is the cause of Guo Ke's death in the end?" Shen Mingyue interjected and asked, this is also what Li Yiting wants to know.

"Lung infections. Jiang Tao spit out these four words without thinking.

"Isn't there an autopsy?" Shen Mingyue continued to ask.

Jiang Tao shook his head, "The family disagrees, this is not a criminal case, even the police are not qualified to forcibly perform an autopsy." We can only analyze from a medical point of view, the cause of Guo Ke's death was lung infection, which led to multiple organ failure. From the completion of his surgery to his death, it was probably just over a month!"

Li Yiting was slightly disappointed, there was no autopsy at that time, it had happened for so long, it was impossible to see the corpse, and many clues could not be verified, but he still expressed his gratitude to Jiang Tao, "Thank you, I also want to ask you for a favor." ”

Jiang Tao looked at Li Yiting, did not make a sound, and waited for inquiry.

"You should have a record of Guo Ke's family contact information, right? We want to go to them and find out more about the situation. Li Yiting said.

"Well, of course there is, but this is all confidential information, I ......" Jiang Tao was a little embarrassed.
