Chapter 52 Tumors Beyond the Safety Line, Call for External Help (4000 words)
An hour later, Du Wei returned to the diagnostic department.
Dr. Nolan, who had been waiting, had a palpable look of impatience on his face.
He was the emergency physician on duty yesterday, and he could theoretically go and play golf with a friend after he had treated the female patient with deep venous thrombosis.
Then go home and take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep.
As a result, this house didn't know what was crazy and got into trouble with him.
Not only that, but it also stopped him from letting the patient go home.
Now I'm calling him for a consultation again!
With bloodshot eyes, he was on the verge of going berserk, if there was no evidence that there was something wrong with the patient.
He would definitely complain to Dean Cady about House's behavior.
So when he saw Du Wei who was late, Nolan didn't have a good look on his face.
To him, House was sarcastic about him, but this Dewey was the guy who poked him in the face.
If it weren't for House's presence, he would definitely have scolded Du Wei for being bloody.
House didn't even poke him directly, just an intern, and dared to go directly past him and make nonsense?
House gave him too much courage!
Unexpectedly, Du Wei directly ignored Nolan's fierce eyes, and just handed the ultrasound report in his hand to House.
"Sorry, I'm late, I scheduled a full body exam for the patient.
However, due to the patient's lack of cooperation, I also did not have permission to use tranquilizers.
So the blood test was not performed, and only an ultrasound was barely done for the time being.
The results of the examination were not optimistic, and there was a substantial lesion in her liver, which I judged to be a tumor, a tumour on the liver.
It is almost certain that she has cancer. ”
Hearing Du Wei's conclusion, everyone present was discolored.
Tumors on the liver? Basically, the patient's liver function has been nullified.
In other words, if she had been let go in the first place, the patient would not be far from death.
Without waiting for House to speak, Dewey continued:
"In addition, I learned from her children that she eats burgers without vegetables for three meals a day.
This life lasted for a long time, which proved that she was not getting enough vitamin K from vegetables.
Vitamin K deficiency is the cause of deep venous thrombosis and cirrhosis.
So what we need to do is not only to give the patient vitamin K supplements, but also to choose to have surgery to transplant the liver or remove the tumor.
But there are two pieces of bad news, first, it's hard for a patient like her to get a liver transplant approved for two sips of vodka when she has nothing to do.
Second, the tumor was huge, with a diameter of 5.8 centimeters, which was beyond the safety line for surgery. ”
After saying the diagnosis in one breath, Du Wei took the coffee from Cameron's hand and drank it, using this trace amount of caffeine to keep his mind clear as much as possible.
As a result, there will be no reversal of the word order and no logic.
After listening to Du Wei's judgment, Dr. Nolan on the side was already so shocked by Du Wei's successive words that he couldn't speak.
He quietly glanced at the report in House's hand.
Lesions do exist in the liver.
That is, Du Wei's string of information confirms that the patient is indeed a problem, or a big problem!
If he had sent the patient home in the morning, he would have been in real danger!
If the patient's family complains about this incident, he is likely to lose his medical license!
Because he decided that the patient was okay based on his own experience without a series of examinations!
If it weren't for House...... He's afraid he's going to have to get a lawyer now.
Thinking of this, Nolan looked at House with no anger in his eyes, but gratitude.
This house literally saved his life!
House didn't care about Nolan's thoughts in the slightest, he just frowned and thought.
Du Wei did a really good job, from the communication with the patients to the preliminary information acquisition, so that House has more information to confirm.
According to the information obtained so far, there is no problem at all with Du Wei's judgment.
But they have two options, but everyone knows that the above will not approve a liver transplant for an alcoholic.
And House was never a doctor who was known for surgery.
So there is only one way in front of them.
"5.8 centimeters? Looks like we're going to need to make it a little smaller by special means. ”
Naturally, the crowd understood what it meant to shrink.
In general, tumors only grow and cannot shrink.
But the tumor on the liver was an accident.
They can inject 20 milliliters of ethanol with a concentration of more than 95% into the liver to absorb the water.
As a result, the tumor cells become smaller due to dehydration.
However, this operation is indeed a violation of the law.
If something goes wrong, none of the people present can escape.
So for a while, no one dared to take House's words.
Just when everyone was silent, Nolan, who had the idea of repaying the favor, suddenly spoke:
"Although the doctors in our hospital will not agree to remove such a large tumor for the sake of the cure rate.
But I know a well-respected oncologist from another hospital.
His laser surgery burns the wound while the laser cuts, sparing as much of the liver as possible.
This is important for the patient's post-operative recovery.
As for whether you need to call for foreign aid, it depends on your choice. ”
Hearing Nolan's suggestion, House paced back and forth several times on crutches.
"Nolan, who is the oncologist you know? Is it reliable? ”
Nolan rummaged through his phone for a while, pulled out a photo and handed it to House:
"You've probably heard of him, Robert, the most famous surgeon in the neighborhood.
The only downside is that it costs a lot of money to hire him.
But if he was paid enough, he would have taken the operation. ”
House raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise.
All are people in the medical world, just as House is famous in the field of diagnostics.
Robert was also well known for his surgical work, and that was in his youth, of course.
"Oh, it was him, but I've heard that patients have been applying for grants all the time, and I'm afraid they don't have enough savings to afford this surgery.
Let's follow my method and let the tumor shrink so that the surgeon can agree to the surgery. ”
Hearing House's words, Cameron's brows immediately furrowed:
"Then we can't just watch her die, can we? How much does this surgery cost? I can give them as much as I can. ”
Chase, who was silently observing Cameron, smiled, and when he wanted to show his money ability, Du Wei had already spoken first:
"Don't worry, I can help her with the money for this operation, no matter how much money is paid.
We don't need to risk non-compliance.
But I have a request, I want to be on the sidelines and watch the operation.
Even if you dare to do chores on the side, it's fine. ”
Chase, who hadn't spoken yet, was slightly stunned, in his impression that Du Wei was still the work-study student.
He had heard of Dr. Robert's name.
The technology is good, but the asking price is also notoriously high.
It is impossible to agree to this operation without hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This amount of money is a bit of a pain in the flesh even for Chase.
Just now he wanted to show in front of Cameron, so he was willing to spend a lot of money to laugh at the Pomeranian, otherwise he wouldn't have used so much money to help a stranger.
This is the case for him, so how can this Du Wei say that he doesn't care about money?
Where did this Du Wei get so much money?
Even if Du Wei said that he was taking private work.
But with so much money, Du Wei couldn't earn it all at once no matter how much private work he received.
Could it be that Du Wei touched something recorded in the criminal law?
Chase looked at Du Wei with worry in his eyes, and in his impression, none of the guys who came into contact with those underground forces died well.
If Du Wei really did those illegal things, then I am afraid that he would not be surprised to hear the news of Du Wei's violent death one day.
Compared with Chase, who knew something inside, Dr. Nolan, who didn't know much about Du Wei, instantly thought that Du Wei was a hidden rich second generation.
can say this kind of words that can be helped with any amount of money, Nolan thinks that only the rich second generation can do it.
And in beautiful countries, money and power have always been closely linked.
Remembering his bad attitude towards Du Wei just now, Nolan immediately wanted to save the relationship between the two.
The previous stinky face disappeared in an instant, and turned into a kind smile, and then praised:
Du ...... Dr. Dewey: Right? You've got a good heart.
It is because of the presence of doctors like you that there is hope for the patients in this world.
I am sure that God will bless your soul to ascend to heaven.
As for the request that you want to observe the surgery, please rest assured.
Since you are the sole proprietor of this surgery, Dr. Robert will definitely agree to it.
So without further ado, for the sake of the patient's health, how about contacting him now? ”
Dr. Nolan's last words were addressed to House.
House nodded:
"Contact him, the sooner the tumor removal surgery is carried out, the better the recovery after the surgery.
Procrastination will only make the patient's health worse and worse. ”
Soon, with the coordination of the hospital, Dr. Robert, who had been promised a sufficient amount of compensation, rushed directly from another hospital.
As a sign of respect, most of the vacant doctors and nurses at Princeton University Hospital lined up at the gate to greet them.
After all, Dr. Robert's temper was as good as his craft, and he was notoriously great.
The hospital was also afraid that he would refuse the operation if he was a little dissatisfied.
So the moment Robert stepped into Princeton University Hospital, everyone saw this top surgeon who was a little older.
However, Du Wei in the crowd suddenly noticed that this Dr. Robert was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this guy was also his old acquaintance.
And Robert, who was walking between the two teams, also seemed to look into the crowd consciously, and happened to find Du Wei standing behind House looking at him, and he was immediately stunned.
Because Du Wei was actually the young doctor who took over his own operation on Wesker!
How could this guy be here?
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Du Wei, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen the sun today.
So for him, Du Wei is equivalent to the existence of a life-saving benefactor!
Robert's eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he wanted to walk towards Du Wei's place.
But he stopped suddenly, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
This hospital has Du Wei in the still need to break the fee to invite himself?
Isn't that a joke?
He used the knife in front of Du Wei? What is the difference between this and playing with an axe in front of Luban's gate?
Puzzled, Robert whispered to Dr. Nolan who had invited him.
Only then did he learn that Du Wei was an intern doctor here, and he also arranged for Du Wei to do odd jobs for him.
When he heard this, Robert was instantly furious!
This hospital is nothing short of a catastrophe!
Such a surgical genius just made him a diagnostics intern?
And let him give himself a hand?
Such a talent can completely take charge of the knife by himself!
It's a wasteful arrangement!
If the position of the main knife is changed to Du Wei, how many people can Du Wei save?
Everyone looked at Robert, who suddenly appeared angry, and they were suddenly a little at a loss.
They had long heard that Robert had a bad temper, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.
Obviously, Robert had only asked who the young man who was staring at him was.
And it turned out to be a rage?
Isn't this intern Du Wei who has provoked Robert before?
Thinking of this possibility, Dr. Nolan hurriedly waved his hand to signal Du Wei to leave quickly, so as not to stay here and make Robert angry.
If Robert turns around angrily and leaves, there will be no one to remove the liver tumor.
But Du Wei stood there as if he were completely unconscious.
The anxious Nolan jumped up and down and almost shouted 'You go away, don't make Robert angry'.
The direction in which Robert traveled later confirmed Nolan's suspicions.
This Robert is striding in the direction of Du Wei!
Nolan chuckled in his heart, secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly chased after him and squeezed out a smile and said:
"Dr. Robert, the operating room is going this way, and we've started anesthetizing the patient.
Surgery should be available soon. ”
Robert impatiently slapped away Nolan's hand in front of him:
"Got it, got it, it's just that I have an acquaintance here, I want to say hello to him first, it won't take much time!"
Seeing Robert confirm that Du Wei was an acquaintance, the sweat on Nolan's forehead flowed.
It's good, it's a real hammer.
It is said that it is an acquaintance, but in fact, there must be a deep holiday.
This will make Robert directly ignore the rich remuneration and also find Du Wei to nag.
Looking at Robert's angry face, Nolan felt like he had messed up.
Forget it, let's destroy it, anyway, the owner of the money is also Du Wei, if the two have a holiday, then this operation is basically gone.
Nolan, who failed to dissuade him, followed Robert with a helpless expression.
He had thought that this time, using his connections to bring in Robert, would make House look up to him.
Next time, I won't be angry with him again.
As a result, the final outcome is afraid that it will be smashed in the hands of this 'rich second generation' intern.
House frowned as he looked at Robert who was walking straight up, and then stood slightly sideways in front of Dewey.
In any case, Du Wei is also his assistant, and he will not let others bully Du Wei.
