Is it called a doctor to watch a patient die and do nothing? To be honest, the law does not allow doctors to evade this behavior. It is also illegal and will bear relevant legal liabilities. There are already court cases.
This is the reason why it takes so long to train doctors. You must step up at the critical moment and there is no retreat. Even if it fails, it must meet the technical standards, otherwise it will still be the doctor's responsibility.
Of course, specific cases need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Regarding the current case specifically, Ren Chongda could choose not to do it. He is not a doctor sent out by the emergency center and has no responsibility to treat this patient. He is a passerby passing by to help. The law stipulates that doctors who pass by and see patients are only obliged to rescue, not to treat. Assistance can be provided by calling the emergency center.
Does it depend on the conscience of a doctor whether to do it now? No, conscience alone is not enough. Even if you don't do it, your conscience can be appeased with various excuses afterwards. There is only one reason that motivates doctors to do this: they are confident in their own skills.
"Oops, this-" Ren Chongda knew that his old classmate had reached a critical point. Whether he can do it now or not, the only thing is whether he can judge and execute the sword accurately like Cao Yong.
Acute cerebral herniation is essentially intracranial high pressure. If you want to relieve the pressure, it will be too late to rely on medication alone. It is like a pressure cooker. If you want to quickly relieve the pressure, you can only release the air from the hole. Drilling and drainage is the only life-saving method for patients.
How can we determine the location of this drill hole without a CT scan or even an X-ray? Old classmate Cao Yong is different. He is a famous neurosurgery doctor and was already called a genius when he was a student.
"So I'm calling you now, and you can help me guess where to drill." Ren Chongda expressed his thoughts.
Calling for help from a distance and guiding on-site operations from a distance is equivalent to testing the trust of both parties in each other.
"Do you have the tools?" Cao Yong asked.
"They went to find the electric drill and disinfection." After answering, Ren Chongda turned around and found that his student's hands were very fast.
While the teacher and her senior were talking, Xie Wanying hurriedly gave the patient an indwelling injection and administered mannitol to reduce the intracranial pressure. However, medicines for lowering blood pressure are definitely extremely limited. In any case, there are as many first aid measures as there are now, and we try our best.
The veteran nurse was very experienced and worked very well with the doctor. After putting on nasal cannula and injecting oxygen into the two wounded patients, she took a razor and hurriedly shaved the sick child's hair. After trimming the hair, it could be disinfected.
There is a store that buys hardware tools a few steps next door. It provides handheld electric drills. The old nurse sterilizes the drills and prepares all the items needed for drilling and drainage surgery. Found a surgical lighting fixture and brought it over.
Many people wanted to watch curiously, but they were kicked out by nurses and police.
With the people around him being so positive, Ren Chongda deeply felt what it meant to ride a tiger but it was difficult to get off. What if he said he would not do this surgery at this time?
"I can understand you very well now." Ren Chongda sighed to Cao Yong.
As a surgical star, Cao Yong should be said to have been given such expectations by the people around him on many occasions, as if he was the life-saver and had no choice but to do it. If you don't do it, it's not just whether your life will die, but it will make people feel that the whole world has suddenly turned into a dark darkness without sunlight.
