Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1836: Celebrity

Entered the teachers’ numbers into the phone contacts, Xie Wanying followed the teachers to the gynecology ward for the medical round.

"Do you have any questions you want to ask?" While walking, Du Haiwei asked her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Teacher Du was very kind and noticed she had an academic question. Xie Wanying talked about Little Sister Luo’s situation: "A patient like her with placenta previa is already 28 weeks pregnant. If the situation isn’t very good and the fetus must be delivered soon, is the baby at high risk?"

"You’re asking about neonatal issues." Doctor Zuoliang smiled and replied, "You should ask a pediatrician, not an OB/GYN doctor."

"With the teachers’ vast clinical experience, perhaps they know if in such cases, is the baby’s issue generally more serious than the mother’s?" Xie Wanying continued to ask.

"Not necessarily." Doctor Zuoliang didn’t dare to answer her very confidently and looked towards the mentor.

Du Haiwei listened intently to their discussion and shared his perspective as a teacher: "Specific cases need specific analysis. Before the C-section, no one can say for sure."

The teacher was calm, trying to express that there are too many variables in the process of maintaining pregnancy for patients with placenta previa.

The main treatment methods for placenta previa involve administering medication to maintain the pregnancy and prevent infection. Another important point is that the pregnant woman should stay still. Preventing the placenta from re-exposing through the cervix by avoiding bleeding can be best achieved by the mother remaining immobile. This physical solution is more effective than anything else. Some moms are very resilient, truly adhering to doctor’s advice by lying still in bed, stubbornly carrying the child to full-term birth. Because of this, some moms can go without washing their hair or bathing for two whole months. Sometimes even doctors are moved by these moms’ love, you could say, it’s the mom herself who protects the child.

"It’s the patients who are the main force against illness." Du Haiwei shared this phrase to teach the students a clinical perspective. Don’t think that being a doctor makes you great, without the patient’s effort and struggle against illness, doctors can hardly be effective.

The medical philosophy of the old doctor is very different, showing true appreciation for the trust patients place in doctors. The development of medicine is built on the joint battles of both doctors and patients, rather than each fighting alone.

Returning to these placenta previa patients, rather than rushing to make any medical predictions now, we should encourage the moms more. Next, we need to see if Little Sister Luo can hold on and whether she is willing to cooperate with the doctors.

Arriving at the gynecology zone, after meeting with other doctors in Teacher Du’s group, they all attended the routine morning handover meeting together. The night shift last night was pretty quiet, and the handover nurse mainly reported on the situation of surgical patients, both postoperative and preoperative, so that the doctors have a good grasp of things. The meeting concluded, and each group went on their rounds.

As a key teaching department in a teaching hospital, surely a bunch of medical students are arranged to follow the experts around to learn. The vast group of medical students split into several batches. Among the interns who came along, Zhang Shuping and Du Mengen could be seen once again. Today, coming along with other classmates from the university, Du Mengen didn’t go alone through the backdoor with his father and blended into the large group, not hindering him from continuing to debate animatedly with Zhang Shuping along the way.

"Did you see, bed number six, the celebrity I was talking about, did you recognize her?"

Zhang Shuping glanced at the patient lying on bed number six. Perhaps due to illness, this aunt looked thin and frail, her face so emaciated that only her features remained, yet her bright eyes still reflected the beauty she had before falling ill.
