Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Liu Yang’s Guilty Conscience
"Quick, bring me that tool."
He quickly turned his head and then gestured to Liu Yang, because at that moment his hand was positioned over the acupoint.
Moreover, it was necessary to utilize the surrounding vascular nerves to drain the pooled blood. Only by doing this could he alleviate the cold brain pressure.
If the pressure kept developing like this, with other brain innovations at stake, by the time they wanted to save him, it might be too late.
Liu Yang hurried over, then pulled out all the tools from the box because he didn’t know what Liu Zheng needed at the moment. And, without any instruments to assist him, he was actually going to perform this kind of surgical operation with just some simple tools? Honestly, Liu Yang had never seen such a thing before.
Liu Zheng, however, understood better; after all, this was their first time working together on such an urgent matter. So, he quickly picked up a very long silver needle, which had a very fine blood vessel on the other end resembling human blood vessels.
Then, he gently inserted one end of the needle into the skin, and the blood vessel was slowly fed in. When it reached a certain depth, he saw some blood and then it started to drip out steadily.
The bleeding continued for about two or three minutes before it began to slow down. No matter how he moved the position of the needle, no more blood came out.
By this time, the ambulance had also arrived, after all, the hospital was quite close, so when the doctor got there, Liu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with professional equipment and treatment, they could truly be at ease.
"Just now, I approximately drew some blood from the patient. I preliminarily estimate the blood loss to be between 7 and 8 milliliters, so there should be no more blood clots in the brain. But, timely craniotomy surgery is a must, so, I’ll leave the rest to you."
After handing over the patient to the doctor, the doctor just nodded. He had heard about Li Zheng; there had been rumors about Liu Zheng at the hospital before.
So, after hearing Liu Zheng’s explanation, the doctor also felt relieved and trusted that Liu Zheng indeed had the capability.
When he saw the patient’s family taken away by the ambulance, Liu Zheng’s anxious heart finally settled down. No matter what, he had timely saved a life.
"Alright, now that we are at the hospital, there should be no problem. Moreover, I managed to clear the blood clots in his brain, so life-threatening danger should not be imminent."
After completing the rescue efforts, Liu Zheng prepared to return to his clinic. There were still many things waiting for him, but he noticed that Liu Yang seemed truly shocked, staying in the same spot, not moving an inch.
"What’s wrong? Were you scared just now? In fact, in the past, I often encountered such situations. It is indeed a bit overwhelming at first, but you get used to it gradually."
"Actually, master, I’ve been thinking about something. Gastrodia elata does have an analgesic effect, but at the same time, it can also promote blood circulation. If there was an underlying rupture and I used the Gastrodia elata tablets at that time, it would stimulate vascular nerve activity and accelerate blood flow, which could explain why he collapsed into a coma shortly after getting home, unlike his condition during the previous days."
Indeed, Liu Yang had analyzed the situation quite thoroughly, and as a matter of fact, Liu Zheng had also realized this earlier.
It’s just that he hadn’t had the chance to speak about it, and given it was his first time practicing medicine and performing emergency treatment with no previous experience, the situation was undoubtedly challenging.
"So you think you are a direct cause of the bleeding?"
"Yes, master, if I had not used that medicine, maybe he wouldn’t be in this state."
"Liu Yang, let me tell you, sometimes with cerebral hemorrhage, when the bleeding is minimal, it generally goes unnoticed. So, whatever medicine you used at the time, you wouldn’t have predicted this. Besides, now that a rupture in the blood vessels has occurred, that is only a contributory factor. Eventually, the blood flow would have abruptly accelerated, and had the vessels burst then, it would have been beyond the point of rescue."
"Yes, but I still feel like what happened is somehow my fault. If I hadn’t used that drug..."
"Liu Yang, in this world, there are no ’what ifs’. Treating and saving lives is about the moment at hand. You can only say your experience and judgment were lacking. So, in the future, without a clear diagnosis, don’t just treat the symptoms, and also refer them out for further examinations. Otherwise, your practice should continue as normal."
"Master, after this incident, I truly feel that I am lacking a lot. And some things are indeed quite different from what I imagined. I thought I could handle these matters easily, but in practice, it turns out to be very different from what I expected."
"That’s the nature of the profession. You absolutely shouldn’t let a single incident cause you so much pain and fear. Everything has its reasons; it’s not like using the medicine would directly lead to this outcome. Moreover, most doctors would probably have used the same medication, so you didn’t do anything wrong because his case was just too unusual."
