Qiu Zhongren wore an anxious expression.

Doctors were extremely reluctant when it came to asking someone to save their as*ses. But sometimes, they were left without a choice.

A doctor would have a very hard time asking another doctor to save his a*s. The best case scenario would be when he encountered a doctor who merely had a bad temper, as that doctor would just throw him some vulgarities and get things over with. Some of the more barbaric doctors would agree to save his a*s before proceeding to scold him throughout the surgery. And when this happened, he had no choice but to swallow all his frustrations.

If a doctor could not endure this kind of shame or failed to get another doctor to save his a*s, his patient might die on the operating table.

If that were to happen, the chief surgeon would naturally be on the receiving end of plenty of blame. If the patient died because of a mistake the chief surgeon made during the surgery, he might get into a lot of trouble with his superiors, the patients family members, and the court.

As for the doctors who refused to save the chief surgeons a*s, he would at most be cursed to death by the chief surgeon.

Doctors were under no obligation to save other doctors a*ses.

Nine out of ten of the doctors from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Yun Hua Hospital would not dare take over this case. Afterall, hemorrhage in a patient with cirrhosis was not something to be taken lightly.

Even He Yuanzheng would have to think thoroughly about it before coming to a decision.

In the past, since Qiu Zhongren and the others had no choice, they could only wait for doctors like He Yuanzheng to think things through before coming to a decision. There was nothing they could do even if the surgery had to be delayed.

But since Ling Ran was in the picture now, Qiu Zhongren immediately sought him out.

Even though no one talked about it, it was an open secret in Yun Hua Hospital that Ling Ran was more skilled in hepatectomy compared to He Yuanzheng. Even though they might cause He Yuanzheng embarrassment by seeking out Ling Rans help, Qiu Zhongren and the others no longer took this into consideration. It was still better than to seek out specialists from other hospitals.

Ling Ran did not immediately come to a decision. Instead, he looked at Zhang Anmin and asked, Are you guys sure that its hepatic hemorrhage instead of gastrointestinal hemorrhage?

Even though Ling Ran knew what to do when it came to hepatic hemorrhage, gastrointestinal hemorrhage was an entirely different story.

Were sure that its hepatic hemorrhage. His gastrointestinal tract is fine, Zhang Anmin quickly said.

Qiu Zhongren quickly added, His blood isnt coagulating, either. Its different from what we had expected when we made our preoperative judgment.

Portal hypertension? Ling Ran asked another question.

Since the patient was experiencing gastroesophageal varices, he most probably had portal hypertension.

Qiu Zhongren nodded solemnly. Yes, portal hypertension.

When it came to scheduled surgery of the abdominal cavity, such a patient could be said to have to face an extremely high risk.
