Chapter 556 Accidental Esophageal Perforation(2/2)
Before he finished speaking, Lao Guo entered the operating room, and Director Zhu ran after him, panting.
"Chen Qi, what happened? My esophagus was perforated even though I was doing it well."
Chen Qi didn’t have time to explain:
"When I just had endoscopic surgery, the endoscopic electrosurgery accidentally opened the esophageal wall with force. Fortunately, the patient is now under general anesthesia. I have asked the anesthesiologist to adjust the dose. I need to perform emergency esophageal perforation immediately.
I can't do this alone."
Lao Guo was startled when he heard this and asked in Chinese:
"This endoscopic surgery still has such dangers. Will it affect the visit of these foreigners and cause a bad impact?"
If a doctor fails to perform an operation, it is called a failure, but if the operation fails in front of colleagues, it is called a failure. But if your operation fails in front of a group of foreign experts, it is definitely a huge failure.
As a leader, Lao Guo immediately thought about how to deal with the aftermath and whether it would have a negative impact on Chen Qi himself.
Chen Qi replied softly: "It wasn't me, it was the foreigner next to me who performed the surgery. The perforation was caused by him and has nothing to do with us."
Lao Guo and Director Zhu both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as long as Chen Qi is fine.
"Okay, push this patient to the operating room nearby. We will do the repair. You and the family can explain it carefully. We can't let the patient be sorry."
Chen Qi nodded heavily: "Yes, please trouble Guo Shuji and Teacher Zhu."
Professor Bradrick could not understand Chinese and asked anxiously: "Chen, what should I do now? Can your hospital perform esophageal repair?"
The white doctor was anxious and accidentally asked such a discriminatory question.
Chen Qi was a little unhappy after hearing this. What do you mean by "Will your hospital do it?"
"Professor Bradrick, don't worry. The two surgeons just now are the best surgeons in our hospital. They have 30 years of clinical surgical experience. They can repair an esophagus. The point is that now I have to beg the patient's family for forgiveness.
, after all, this is considered a medical accident."

Professor Bradrick trembled all over when he heard the word "medical malpractice".
Americans pay attention to protecting their rights in everything, and American lawyers are all-pervasive, so medical lawsuits in the United States are extremely difficult to guard against and are numerous.
It's just that the insurance in the United States is relatively sound, and even if the hospital loses the lawsuit, there will still be insurance compensation.
Although the doctor himself does not have to bear monetary losses, if the doctor has too many medical malpractice incidents, the insurance company will lower the doctor's credit and even refuse to insure the doctor.
Doctors who are abandoned by insurance companies also end up in a tragedy.
Therefore, sometimes, as long as the amount of compensation is not too huge, those top doctors who are not short of money would rather choose to go private and pay a sum of money to buy peace and avoid causing adverse effects.
"Chen, I'm really sorry. Please help me tell the patient's family that I am willing to compensate them US$50,000, oh no, US$100,000, as long as they give up holding me accountable."
Professor Bradrick does not have the qualification to practice medicine in China, and it is an "illegal practice of medicine". According to American law, he may be jailed.
Many factors came together to scare the white doctor into confusion.
But he seems to have forgotten that this is China. The relevant laws of China in the 1980s did not seem to be so sound, and the "Law for Practicing Physicians" was not even promulgated.
Chen Qi was quite surprised when he heard that this American doctor was willing to compensate so much money.
Even according to the official exchange rate of 1:4, this patient can still receive compensation of 400,000 yuan, which was 400,000 yuan in 1989.
You don’t even need so many kidneys.
