San Francisco, 23 Powell Street.

The cork oak trees are leafy and swaying in the wind.

A middle-aged couple walked into the iris clinic in a wheelchair pushing their 11-year-old daughter.

Zhang Mengjing, a nurse station, took them to Grace's office.

The other party had called to make an appointment before, but Zhou Qiao went to Africa and didn't know when he would come back, Murphy and Stephanie had big bellies again, and Nanako Chiba had a full surgery schedule, so Zhang Mengjing suggested that the other party should see Dr. Grace first.

Originally, the couple was a little reluctant, but Zhang Mengjing told them that Dr. Grace was from Harvard University's Massachusetts General Hospital and was the national champion in heart surgery last year, and the other party agreed.

"Dr. Grace, my daughter Kate has actually had two heart surgeries before, but none of them solved the problem fundamentally, and this time we came here to ......"

Because Nanako Chiba is busy in the operating room, Park so-joo and Kim Hee-jin are helping.

More than ten years ago, when she just landed on the ground, her parents noticed that the skin and mucous membranes of the baby's lips and limbs had obvious cyanosis.

However, since last year, little Kate once again had symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, and fatigue, so her parents took her to the doctor again.

It's just that many details need to be further polished.

She immediately got up, called Zhang Mengjing, and ordered a series of tasks. The whole process is vigorous, fluent, and clear-thinking, and the subsequent admission, preoperative examination, and preoperative treatment will be handled...... Well arranged.

After the surgery, little Kate's condition improved.

"I'll do my best." Grace got the consent of the child's parents, and all of a sudden, she was in high spirits, as if she had been doped.

On the fourth day of her life, little Kate was rushed to the operating room and underwent a major heart operation.

Naturally, others have no opinion.

Afraid that they didn't see the invitation to the meeting, Grace also sent them separate messages to explain the matter.

It can be said that their current treatment far exceeds that of their peers with similar qualifications. Even if it's a big hospital, you can't compare with them.

Murphy and Stephanie can't do anything about it, as their due date is approaching and they may be activated at any time.

Poor Zhang Mengjing, she was busy alone, but she didn't complain at all. Because everyone else was busy, neither Rachel, Vivica, nor Dr. Jenard were available to help her.

In addition, there is also a "big hole" in the "wall" between her left and right atria and between the left and right ventricles; There is also an abnormal pathway between the aorta and the pulmonary artery.

After examination, the doctor found that little Kate had a transposition of the great arteries, patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect, and ventricular septal defect.

Nanako Chiba said with some concern: "Grace, this operation is too difficult, why don't I postpone tomorrow's surgery and help you?" ”

It's a problem.

"Although this operation is difficult, in fact, I am still seven or eight points sure, if you trust me, I will be the operator." Grace said very seriously.

"Huh?" The parents were pleasantly surprised, but then hesitated.

Grace shook her head and said, "I can do it alone!" ”

Perhaps, the parents of the child also realized this, and Mrs. Bravo touched her daughter's hair lovingly, looked at her husband, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then please Dr. Grace!" ”

Murphy simply replied "OK", and Stephanie asked a few more questions about the child's condition to understand the situation in advance. As for Nanako Chiba, she did not reply.

In fact, not only Zhang Mengjing, but others rarely complained. Mainly because Zhou Qiao gave too much.

"You're running out of time, little Kate is in a serious condition, and her heart could ...... at any moment Flameout. Grace looked at the little girl with a pale face and sighed.

The due date is only expected, and it is possible to advance or postpone it.

This time, the recovery after the operation was quite good, and it took eight years to manage it with one tube.

The condition is extremely complex.

On the side, the Bravo family heard it and couldn't help but increase their confidence.

The examination found that the right coronary artery transplanted after birth had been completely occluded, and in the second operation, the pulmonary artery that had been enlarged with artificial material patch had been severely coarctated again, resulting in pulmonary regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and severe damage to heart function.

Mainly, the doctor is too young and not the most famous in the iris clinic.

"Mrs. Bravo, little Kate's condition is indeed very complicated, pulmonary artery stenosis combined with right coronary artery occlusion, the operation itself is very dangerous, and then the first two surgeries, her heart structure has changed a lot, if this operation is done, it is necessary to separate the adhesions, it is easy to damage the heart or large blood vessels."

When it comes to a child's life and future, she has to be careful.

At that time, the doctor gave her aortic reversal + atrial septal defect repair + ventricular septal defect repair + patent ductus arteriosus repair surgery.

Because, just Dr. Grace's blurted out arrangement shows the demeanor of a great expert.

The parents of the sick child began to tell.

"We went to several hospitals, and the doctors we received said it was very difficult and the risk was very high." Kate's parents looked at Grace expectantly, worried. I said that it would be nice if the famous Dr. Zhou in North America was here.

Speaking of which, little Kate is strange and pitiful.

The parents of the child were nervous, and at the same time showed a trace of disappointment, saying that there is no way to do it here. Why don't you wait for that Dr. Zhou to come back? However, I don't know if the child's condition can't wait.

Last year's national champion was okay too.

"Hmm." Grace listened and nodded, asking from time to time what she was concerned about.

Her mind is highly active, like a high-speed computer.

But after thinking about it, I had some expectations, because the young female doctor in front of me knew the difficulty of the operation, and what I said earlier was similar to the judgment of experts in other hospitals. And the reason why her fame does not seem "big" is relative. There are too many talented doctors in the Iris Clinic.

Soon, she chose the one that was suitable for the child's condition from many options.

Grace got the meeting time out and began to write the surgical plan and some contingency plans seriously.

"Then I wish you a successful operation!" Everyone sent their blessings.

Specifically, the aorta, which should have emanated from the left ventricle, was mistakenly connected to the right ventricle; The pulmonary artery, which is supposed to emanate from the right ventricle, erroneously emanates from the left ventricle.

The time was set for eight o'clock in the evening. Because Nanako Chiba estimates that she won't be available until after seven o'clock in the evening. Always give some time for Nanako Chiba to rest.

Everyone made some suggestions, and Grace jotted them down one by one to refine her surgical plan and perioperative treatment plan to be as best as possible.

Grace's face was very solemn, and while looking through the inspection report brought by the other party, she quickly thought about countermeasures.

Grace paused, and added: "Judging from the report, the child still has the manifestation of right heart failure, and the perioperative risk is even greater, which can be said to be quite tricky. ”

"I'm sorry, because the child's condition is urgent, and you need to delay a little time in the evening, help me improve the surgical plan, and put forward some valuable suggestions." Grace said.

If the Bravos did not agree to her coming for surgery, and then went elsewhere to seek the help of famous doctors, maybe little Kate would not be able to support it at that time.

Every time I saw a hospital doctor and nurse go on strike, the staff of the Iris Clinic laughed and said nothing. You see, we don't make trouble.

Even in the Massachusetts General Hospital, a Harvard University hospital, there are not many people who have the strength to accept this condition, including his father, no more than five.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Grace projected the surgical plan on the screen, and everyone held a consultation meeting through online communication.

Unfortunately, a year later, due to pulmonary artery stenosis, he underwent another major thoracotomy surgery.

I heard that Dr. Zhou can solve any complex disease, can this young girl in front of him do it?

The soldiers were divided into two ways, Zhang Mengjing took the child's family to the community hospital, and Grace returned to the computer, and after a little groaning, she made an appointment and invited Murphy, Stephanie, and Nanako Chiba to participate.

Actually, Grace is also quite stressed. However, she is not afraid of a challenge.

For the sake of little Kate's health, she has always been in the most positive form.

In addition, if she succeeds in this operation alone, it means that she has the strength to truly compete with Murphy, Stephanie, and Nanako Chiba!

It will make her rise to a higher level in the hearts of Zhou Qiao and her old father!
