Chapter 708: Chapter 290 – If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die, Tricky Fracture_3
During the entire rescue process, the two who were most shocked were not Director Zhang and Zhou Can, but Director Tang and Dean Tian.
Although Dean Tian did not appear in person, he called every fifteen minutes to inquire about the progress of the rescue, which shows that Dean Tian, sitting in his office, was more anxious and worried than anyone else.
Now that the danger had been averted, it was a cause for great joy.
The group of doctors and nurses who rescued the pregnant woman, each one of them deserved to be credited.
Naturally, they should be well rewarded.
Director Zhang had just stepped out of the emergency room when several reporters immediately surrounded him.
“Director Zhang, how is the pregnant woman doing now?” These reporters were more concerned about the pregnant woman’s safety than her family, which was both amusing and poignant.
It can only be said that they were too dedicated.
It is estimated that while they were in the outpatient hall, they had already taken the photos and gathered the news material, and now they were just waiting for a result to be able to rush to complete the drafting of the news report.
“Thank you all for your concern. The pregnant woman, after the joint rescue by our Tuya Hospital and Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital’s medical staff, has temporarily been brought out of danger. Director Zhang has been busy with the rescue and hasn’t had anything to eat yet, please make way.”
Director Tang directly shielded Director Zhang from the crowd of reporters.
“May I ask why the other medical staff involved in the rescue haven’t come out yet?”
Mu Qin was worried about Zhou Can.
Not seeing Zhou Can coming out, she naturally assumed there was still something going on inside.
Perhaps the patient was still being resuscitated.
After all, one should not take Director Tang’s words too seriously since he was in charge of publicity.
“The remaining medical staff are still guarding the pregnant woman, ensuring the safety of both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Our medical staff are working very hard, please try not to disturb their duties.”
These reporters were not so easy to dismiss.
They lingered at the door, unwilling to leave.
On the other hand, the relatives of the pregnant woman, hearing that she had been brought out of danger, were overjoyed.
After a while, someone from the hospital canteen delivered meals.
The medical staff in the emergency room took turns coming out to eat.
In fact, now that the pregnant woman’s vital signs had stabilized, they could observe her for a while longer and if there were no serious problems, she could be admitted to the hospital and transferred to a general ward for further treatment.
Most cases of fat embolism syndrome could recover completely after treatment.
At present, as long as the pregnant woman’s condition did not further deteriorate, her life could definitely be saved.
She was expected to stay in the emergency room for about three to four days before possibly weaning off the ventilator.
Overall, fat embolism syndrome is less malignant compared to amniotic fluid embolism.
However, even if the pregnant woman safely overcame the current crisis, her situation was still not optimistic. Her femoral head had fractured and it was feared that no doctor would dare to operate on her.
But waiting to perform surgery after giving birth, by then, the callus would have already formed, and even possibly deformed healing might occur.
These were all very tricky issues.
Zhou Can carefully studied the X-ray of the pregnant woman’s femoral head.
Her fracture was quite severe, and in the absence of surgery, they could only try to support the fracture site with external fixation to help it heal in position.
However, the femoral head is one of the most complex skeletal joints in the body.
Even surgical operations sometimes fail to treat it, requiring a total hip joint replacement.
Now, to fix it without surgery was a real test of a doctor’s external fracture fixation technique and skill.
Zhou Can’s external fracture fixation technique was currently Level 3, a medium level among resident doctors.
This was because, after finishing his orthopedic training in various departments, he occasionally had the chance to earn Experience Points in external fracture fixation techniques during surgeries in multiple departments.
Otherwise, he would still be at a lower level as a resident.
“Dr. Zhou, we have finished our meals; you and Ji You should go eat!”
Deputy Director Shi and the other medical staff had returned after eating.
It was Zhou Can and nurse Ji You’s turn to go eat.
Ji You had worked in the Intensive Care Medicine Department and had rich experience in rescue assistance, performing outstandingly today. Plus, her gentle nature and the professional level in critical care and rescue were high.
Gentle and competent nurses were rare, and Zhou Can was particularly satisfied with her.
However, the two had just been assigned to this newly established crisis management team, so they were far from familiar.
“Dr. Zhou, let’s go! You can study the pregnant woman’s fracture treatment plan after you eat! Working without caring for meals is really not good for your health!”
She waved at Zhou Can with a smile.
“Let’s go get some food!”
Zhou Can quite enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
He put down the X-ray.
“Director Shi, I’ll leave the situation here in your care for now. Please keep a close watch on her central venous pressure and blood oxygen level. Call me if there’s a problem, don’t worry about whether I’ve finished eating or not.”
Zhou Can was still somewhat uneasy as he was leaving.
All types of vascular embolism diseases have immense uncertainties.
Sometimes, situations can change in a heartbeat.
Just like a battlefield, where things might appear calm one day, and then suddenly intense conflicts erupt the next, causing a side that seemed to be doing well to collapse completely.
After strenuous efforts, the pregnant woman had temporarily escaped danger, but there was still a possibility of relapse.
Deputy Director Shi’s skills in handling rescues were actually far lesser than Zhou Can’s.
This was something Director Shi was very aware of himself.
“Don’t worry, I’m watching it closely! Hurry and go eat.”
Deputy Director Shi urged him.
As Zhou Can and Ji You walked out of the emergency room, the female reporter Mu Qin, who had been waiting outside, immediately came up to them.
Others might not know Zhou Can’s capabilities and undercover status, but she was very familiar with them.
To understand the specific condition of the pregnant woman, since Director Zhang was not giving interviews, and it was difficult to get accurate information from other medical staff, while other reporters had left, she had stayed there.
Zhou Can was her target.
Especially seeing that all other medical staff had come out of the emergency room to eat, except Zhou Can who hadn’t appeared, she was even more certain of her guess.
“Hi! Dr. Zhou, can I ask you about the condition of the pregnant woman?”
Mu Qin waved towards Zhou Can with a light smile on her face.
