All the doctors were stunned.

It was obvious that the deputy chief of the medical administration division had simply planned to dismiss the meeting with that question.

How could someone be so dense?

Also…

Who was he!

There were more than a thousand people in the hospital. The interventional doctor was not a sociable person. More than half of the doctors present did not know what his specialization was, while the other half knew that he was into interventional surgery but did not know what his skills were like.

It startled the medical administration division’s deputy chief, and he put down the things in his hand in discontentment.

“We can find the source of bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract and resect that portion of the intestine,” the interventional doctor said confidently.

If he had only read the surgical procedure from a magazine or a book, he would not be this confident.

However, the surgery kept replaying in his mind, and he could clearly remember every single detail.

Medicine was an empirical science.

After watching the surgery, the only thing he could think was that if he had the skills to perform it, it would be the beginning of a new treatment method.

The patient would not need to lie on the ICU bed awaiting death.

At least his chance of survival would amplify by a few times.

“Hmm?” The medical administrative division’s deputy chief and the department chief of general surgery were stunned.

They have never heard before that this disease was treatable!

The interventional doctor stood up. Even though he was at the far corner, his confidence-filled voice sounded throughout the office.

“A few days ago, there was a live surgery broadcast on the Xinglin Garden’s professional forum that was similar to this case.” The interventional doctor’s voice was so firm and confident. “We can use interventional methods to locate the source of bleeding…”

The general surgery chief interrupted him. “It’s pointless, we did try that. After the laparotomy, the source of bleeding was unrecognizable.”

“No!” the interventional doctor said. “After locating the source of bleeding, we can perform embolization to block a portion of the blood supply from the mesenteric artery.”

“That would lead to necrosis of the intestines!” The chief of general surgery’s voice sounded a little sharp and angry.

This was ridiculous!

The necrotic intestines would be seen as an iatrogenic disease. This would be typical medical malpractice. Was this guy trying to ruin himself?

That had to be!

If he wanted to ruin his career, he should be doing it alone without dragging him into this mess.

“Yes! That’s my intention.” The interventional doctor once again recalled the live surgery broadcast in Xinglin Garden and continued, “About half an hour to an hour after the embolization, the necrotic intestines will show significant changes that are comparable to normal intestines. If we remove the necrotic portion of the intestine and connect the healthy intestines together, the source of bleeding would be removed.”

It was fairly simple. Just like a trick, it was worthless after being revealed.

Before the secrets were exposed, it was like an unsolvable math problem.

His a.s.sertive voice inspired the crowd to think. Indeed, this method could work according to his description.

Even though it was risky, it was still a feasible method.

The general surgery chief was a little lost. He had never done a destructive operation before…

What if something happened? What then?

He glanced at the medical administrative division’s deputy chief.

No chief could decide on the surgery. It would have been best if the hospital could bear all responsibility.

The deputy chief was also a clinical physician, but he was sick and tired of night s.h.i.+fts and decided to join the administrative division.

He considered what the interventional doctor had said and thought that it was worth a shot.

As a clinician himself, treating patients was a natural instinct.

If there was somebody to bear the responsibility, there was no harm in trying.

There was a vast difference between a 1% and 50% chance of survival.

Even if the patient had a 50% survival rate, there was the other 50% of death. This was an incredibly high-risk surgery.

He picked up the phone immediately to contact the chief of the medical administrative division and the executive deputy director who was the head of clinical operations.
