Chapter 623 The autopsy begins(1/2)
As soon as the door of the anatomy room was closed, Professor Bradley gave Chen Qi a high-five with a smile:
"Hi, Chen, are you surprised or not, we meet again and we actually become competitors, hahaha."
Chen Qi was also surprised:
"Bradley, this really surprises me. Why did you come to the United States? How did they invite you, a great expert?"
Professor Bradley shrugged:
"There is no way. Although my endoscopic skills are nothing compared to a guy like you, I am considered the top expert in the United States, so my family found me and gave me a check for 1 million US dollars. All I can say is
, it’s really too much to give.”
When Chen Qi heard this, he pretended to be unhappy:
"Damn, this is so unfair. Do you know how much they paid me in Qianzhen City for hosting this autopsy? It's only a business trip subsidy of 20 yuan a day, which is still in RMB. When converted into US dollars, it doesn't exceed 5 yuan. What a difference.
~~~"
Chen Qi is famous for wanting money. He gets 5 yuan while others get 1 million. The gap is really too big.
"No, since you got so much, I have to treat you to the bar tonight."
Professor Bradley was also extremely generous: "OK, no problem. The rice wine I drank at your house last time was very delicious. We won't go home until we get drunk~~~"
Chen Qi thought to himself: Who would drink rice wine when going to a bar? If you want to drink it, you have to start with the Ace of Spades...
Professor Bradley personally went to Vietnam to investigate the condition of the Hollywood tycoon last time and personally participated in an endoscopic surgery, although the surgery eventually caused a perforation in the patient.
The last time Chen Qi ran for election as director of the World Society of Gastroenterology, Professor Bradley had cheered for him, and the relationship between the two parties was very good.
Of course, only a few people know this. After all, doctors are not celebrities, and few people pay attention to their private interpersonal relationships.
So Angelia made an mistake. The top medical experts specially recruited from the United States, a professor who she thought could outdo the Chinese doctors and could properly check for her, turned out to be good friends.
If Angelia knew about the relationship between the two parties, she would definitely scold her. It’s so damn shameful.
After finishing the household chores, Professor Bradley also entered working mode:
"Chen, I heard that you were the one who made the previous medical evaluation, and I also read the detailed report. Do you really think the possibility of aortic dissection is high? I think the possibility of asphyxia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular stroke still exists.
"
After hearing this, Chen Qi found the CT film of the deceased from a pile of information:
"Look here, when the left ventricle comes out, you can see a bulging shadow at the aortic root. I suspect this is a dissecting aneurysm. Then during endoscopic surgery, I happened to encounter the aneurysm rupture and bleed. Finally,
Death from massive hemorrhage.”
If others told him, Professor Bradley might not believe it, but he still admired Chen Qi's medical skills.
"OK, I will cooperate with you in the autopsy work later, but don't expect me to give in. After all, there are two cameras working at the scene at the same time, and there are 5 forensic doctors from all over the world supervising the whole process. I hope your guess is
Right, otherwise you'll be in trouble."
Although Angelia has big breasts and no brains, she can't stand up to the many thugs behind her.
She also knew that this autopsy was related to the important issue of who was more suitable to inherit Dakai's toys, so she was well prepared.
For example, more than a hundred reporters from all over the world came, and these reporters were all waiting in Ziguang Hospital, waiting for the autopsy report to be released.
For Chen Qi, the only way to "clear the grievances" of Ziguang Hospital is to prove that Chapman Webster died of aortic dissection.
As for Beate and her son, there is only this possibility if they want to win the Dakai toy.
All remaining options, that is, all causes of death except aortic dissection, were all in Angelia's favor.
This was also one of the important reasons why Angelia finally relented and agreed to the autopsy, because she felt that she had the best chance of winning.
Otherwise, she would not give her husband an autopsy even if she was beaten to death. She would rather drag it out, litigate with the hospital, litigate with her ex-wife, mother and son, and finally use the huge and complex judicial system of the United States to drag out the lawsuit for a long time and muddy the waters.
Is Chen Qi under any pressure?
What pressure does he feel? A reborn person like him is no stranger to aortic dissection. When he worked in a hospital, he saw it many times, especially in the emergency department.
Chen Qi had absolute confidence in his judgment, not to mention that both the deceased's clinical manifestations and auxiliary examinations supported his judgment.
More importantly, what if the judgment is wrong?
He was just here to help. At worst, he would lose face. A doctor's mistake in judgment is not a capital crime. Besides, it was not him who had to pay the money. The pressure was all on Qianzhen City.
Therefore, Chen Qi felt no burden at all and instead greeted the five forensic doctors from different countries with a smile.
Although there is a big difference between forensic medicine and clinical medicine. One deals with dead people and the other deals with living people. However, both sides are "learned from the same discipline" and have a close relationship, so they are quite friendly with each other.
Everyone is paid to do things. This is just a job. How can there be a brainless slap in the face?
To express disdain for a double director of the International Medical Association, these forensic doctors are not pigs. They know the weight of the two directors and will never look down on Chen Qi because of his age.
The body has been taken out of the freezer and "thawed" in advance.
Generally speaking, the autopsy is best performed within 48 hours, but it can be extended to a week if refrigeration is available.
If it is too late, the body will smell bad and become decomposed, so many characteristic symptoms will be inaccurate, which will affect the conclusion of the autopsy.
Mr. Chapman Webster, the wealthy American man, is lying quietly on the autopsy table. No matter how famous he was during his lifetime, he will become a lamb to be slaughtered after his death.
Life is short, it is true to enjoy it in time.
While everyone was busy preparing, Chen Qi bowed several times to the body of Chapman Webster.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Chapman Webster, we all have the wrongdoer and the debtor. If we want to blame you, we can only blame you for your bad luck. No matter what disease you get, it is not good."
You suffered from aortic dissection, but that quack doctor Li Huacheng prescribed a gastroenteroscopy for you, which caused a sudden increase in your blood vessel pressure and caused the aneurysm to explode.
So if you feel that your death was unjust in the underworld, you must tell King Yama that the quack doctor who killed you was Li Huacheng. I am here to avenge you. I will be a good citizen by announcing the cause of your death.
Don’t take revenge on the wrong person in the middle of the night, Amen.”
Li Huacheng is actually really responsible. If he had been better and saw the possibility of aortic dissection on the CT sheet, he would not have asked the patient to undergo a gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Without this gastrointestinal endoscopy, the patient may still have hope of rescue.
Even if he cannot be rescued in the end, as long as he does not die in Ziguang Hospital, his family will not lose their minds and bring such big trouble to their unit and the country.
So it was not wrong for Chen Qi to ask Chapman Webster to find Li Huacheng in the middle of the night.
Professor Bradley put on his surgical clothes and came over. It was strange to see Chen Qi saying goodbye while saying something:
"Chen, why don't you go change your clothes? Are you praying for Mr. Chapman Webster?"
Chen Qi's face twitched and he nodded quickly:
"Yes, I am using the unique method of our Chinese country. I hope our great Supreme Laojun and the Jade Emperor can forgive Chapman Webster's sins during his lifetime, and his soul can go to the Western Paradise to enjoy happiness after his death, Amen."
Westerners still attach great importance to faith, and Professor Bradley quickly crossed himself: "May the Lord bless him."
The five forensic doctors also made the sign of the cross.
Then all the staff in Hua Guo suppressed their laughter and turned their heads away.
After Chen Qi put on surgical clothes and gloves and came over, everyone was ready.
"Are all units ready?"
"Ready!"
"OK, no problem!"
The deceased Chapman Webster had taken off all his clothes and was lying there face up naked.
Chen Qi picked up the scalpel and looked at the snow-white corpse in front of him. What came to his mind was how he made extra money by doing corpse specimens with Teacher Li Baotian in the medical school.
On those countless nights, he was dissecting corpses alone while checking to see if the fire in the coal stove where the bones were cooked was extinguished and if the water had burned out.
Thinking about it now, life was quite hard at that time, and the most important thing was not having enough to eat.
In a flash, Chen Qi has traveled through time for almost 10 years.
Seeing that Chen Qi had just picked up the scalpel and was dazed there, Professor Bradley thought that Chen Qi had not figured out where to cut the knife, so he kindly reminded:
"Chen, what incision are you going to make?"
Autopsies generally have three types of incisions.
The favorite method used by Chinese forensic doctors is the "one-line incision method", which means that the scalpel starts from the midline of the lower edge of the mandible, along the neck, midline of the chest and abdomen, around the left side of the umbilicus, and incises the skin and subcutaneous tissue at the upper edge of the pubic symphysis.
To describe it this way, it starts from your chin, cuts down with a knife, and cuts all the way to your penis.
The biggest advantage of this anatomical cutting method is that it is trouble-free, fast, and can handle the vast majority of autopsies.
But a very bad thing is that after the dissection is completed, even if the sutures are done, because clothes cannot cover the neck, the sutures located in the front of the neck are often exposed, which is aesthetically unsatisfactory.
Of course, in a certain country, there is no need to pay attention to this detail. Anyway, there are no sutures after the autopsy, and the pieces are sent directly to the cremator. The family members only get the "suspected" ashes of their loved ones.
Foreign forensic doctors relatively prefer the "Y-shaped incision method".
The tangent lines are from the left and right mastoid processes down to the shoulders, and then incision is made anteriorly and medially to meet at the sternal notch. The thoracoabdominal incision is the same as above. The submandibular and chest skin is peeled off, and the skin flap is folded over the face to expose
Anterior neck organs.
It means starting from the protruding bones behind your ears and cutting diagonally upward, merging at the sternum, and then cutting in a straight line downward to the end.
This kind of anatomy can better preserve the damage on the body surface when there are wounds or injuries in the neck. In China, the "Y-shaped incision method" is generally used when there are many and obvious neck injuries.
