Chapter 2469: Offering a Strategy

Dr. Han, eager to sow discord, beckoned to Student Wei with a small gesture: Come over, and you can learn whatever you want here.

Wei Shangquan questioned: The rival bosses actually allow him to come and learn?

Cheng Yuchen glared at Dr. Han: What are you trying to do by luring someone else’s "kid"?

Dr. Han remarked casually: Isn’t Dr. Cao not doing heart transplants?

For the first time hearing his mentor doesn’t do heart transplants, Wei Shangquan turned back to seek answers from someone.

Cao Zhao remained completely unmoved.

"It’s not that Dr. Cao doesn’t do them; he’s just not interested. Don’t mislead," Mu Yongxian’s cold voice admonishes his own people.

"Yes," Dr. Han nodded in agreement, acknowledging his "mistake."

Cheng Yuchen furrowed his brows. Recently, Mu Yongxian’s eagerness to provoke Cao Zhao was unprecedented, somewhat unusual. Cao Zhao rarely performs heart transplants, but that doesn’t mean he lacks the skill.

Donors for heart organs are scarce nationwide; Shou’er has had seven or eight cases annually, and reaching three cases in the first quarter of this year is unprecedented. No wonder the leaders are sending out celebratory announcements to spread the news. Across the nation, only twenty to thirty pediatric heart transplants occur annually, led by teams at Guo Zhi Hospital, Shou’er, and the Beidu System. Organ transplants in the Beidu System are spread across several affiliated hospitals, primarily concentrated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Beidu for heart transplants.

The scarcity of donors leads to fewer procedures by doctors. Domestic organ transplant doctors have always been anxious, as the number of surgeries is far smaller compared to abroad, hindering technical advancement. In this context, sharing and exchanging cases with colleagues becomes a valuable way to gain surgical experience. Perhaps Mu Yongxian’s provocation aims to have Cao Zhao share his techniques for reference. Despite doing three cases this year, the more successful one is, the more they want to know the potential for further technical progress.

Soon, Dr. Han realized that his and his superior’s blatant wooing seemed ineffective on others. Pan Shihua and Duan Sanbao stood opposite the patient bed, keenly observing Student Xie’s actions. Dai Nanhui only followed his idol.

Xie Wanying, using her stethoscope, was fully focused on auscultating the child’s little heart.

Others could discern from her subtly moving eyelashes that she seemed to be picking up on something.

"How is it?" Yoo Minghui asked softly.

Xie Wanying shared her opinion: "The diuretics need to be increased to just under 1.7 times the current amount, not reaching double. Appropriately reducing the cardiac glycosides to 0.6 of the current dosage."

In cases of heart failure due to weakened cardiac contraction strength, the combination of diuretics and cardiac glycosides is common. When cardiac output is low, cardiac enhancers are increased; when pulmonary venous pressure causes edema, diuretics are added. In this present spongy heart case, simply describing it as the heart soaking up water like a sponge during each contraction but unable to release it, thus burdening the heart more, reducing cardiac output, and causing edema—what should be done? It seems more important to pinpoint their precise ratio. Student Xie provided a plan through auscultation and her own calculation.

Yoo Minghui readied herself to try the little junior sister’s genius strategy.

Alongside, Dr. Han’s group was astonished: What did she manage to hear and calculate?

Mu Yongxian noticed Cao Zhao’s hand.

Xie Wanying felt a touch on the back of her head from Immortal Brother’s hand. Both Immortal Brother and Senior Cao loved to touch her head.

Smart children are loved by the Cao Family. The little whirlpool of smiles in Cao Zhao’s eyes was cautious: guard against old friends, senior sisters, and even competitors; he might need to be careful not to slip up.
