The doctor’s speculation about the patient’s etiology, as he mentioned, needs further examination to be clearly documented. Just like the doctor below, how can one explain something that is not entirely certain to those underneath?

Zhai Yunsheng seemed to grasp his nephew’s reasoning, and at the same time, didn’t forget that someone else understood his nephew’s mind even quicker. His gaze involuntarily flicked between the crack in the door and his nephew’s face: these two share a telepathic connection, perhaps they had privately discussed the patient’s medical records before. If that’s the case, doesn’t it imply that they are secretly involved? Otherwise, why would it appear that none of Cao Yong’s subordinates know Cao Yong’s thoughts, but she does?

Finally noticing a trace of peculiarity in his uncle’s gaze, Cao Yong raised his head and furrowed his eyebrows: Uncle, you’re overthinking.

Little junior sister can figure it out without needing him to say it. She likely visited the patient’s room, and it’s easy to deduce the situation.

Uncle, don’t mistake her for something she’s not, okay? That’s clearly written in Cao Yong’s eyes.

Academic issues should be discussed academically.

Receiving this glance from his nephew, Zhai Yunsheng seemed to understand something but also seemed not entirely clear: is this affection still only about academics?

Others in the room could see these two, like a pair of uncles and nephews communicating certain things solely with their eyes. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Experts can engage just with eye contact. Now, others might indeed be confused.

Deputy Director Lv hastily knocked on the table: "If there’s an issue to discuss, it should be spoken out loud."

Upon hearing these extremely misunderstood words, Zhai Yunsheng and Cao Yong respectively turned their gaze away: indeed... speechless.

The topic shifts back to the academic focus.

Intracranial aneurysms, due to the lack of evident symptoms in the early stages, are difficult to detect with a standard CT scan when not ruptured and bleeding. Using CT angiography (CTA), as Cao Yong mentioned, may lead to false positives or negatives, thus nullifying the diagnostic significance of CT in many cranial diseases.

The gold standard for diagnosing this condition is cerebral angiography. Cerebral angiography is an interventional procedure, not a CT scan, using an X-ray system similar to cardiovascular interventional procedures, the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) machine.

Using DSA involves surgery, not a regular examination. It’s not suitable for any condition due to its relatively high risk. Precisely because of this, detecting an aneurysm early becomes even more challenging.

How did Cao Yong suspect this patient had an aneurysm?

Recalling the words she said when explaining the condition to the patient that day, they sounded like a far-fetched fantasy, but they opened another avenue of thinking for Cao Yong. Just like the first time he saw her at Songyuan, she was like a radiant key that opened another door in his brain.

The embolus can move, which is a characteristic of Doctor Hu’s condition. It can be explained as the embolus being small, not completely blocking the vessel, allowing room for medical intervention. Based on this, Xie Wanying proposed using branch vessel circulation fluctuation to move and dislodge the embolus, which is a step further than his original idea of improving micro-circulation. Her concept was so advanced that it astonished many neurosurgeons, making it difficult for them to act.

This is why Song Xueling’s brow furrowed nearly entirely on that day.

The experience of young doctors isn’t as extensive as these "old" doctors. The "old" doctors’ experience is reflected in their ability to quickly associate similar clinical case histories for diagnostic reference. In the field of surgery, having extensive experience not only means seeing more patient case histories, but surgical experience also contributes to the advantage of "old" surgeons.
