Chapter 1543: Palace Intervention, Chen Yue's Questioning
"Director Zhou, what do you think about Director Zhao and the head nurse?"
In order to avoid Fang Xiaoran and Lin Yi arguing again, Zhou Xiaofeng changed the subject and asked Zhou Chen.
"Ask me?"
Zhou Chen said: "In fact, we are not the parties involved, and we cannot empathize with their feelings and thoughts, but from my perspective, I actually agree with Director Lin. Feelings are feelings, but reality is reality after all. A momentary emotional impulse brings a lifetime of torment and pain, which is not a cost-effective thing."
"See, hear, Director Zhou and I are heroes think alike. Rather than a family suffering for a lifetime, it is better to bear the pain and give up, which is just a temporary pain."
Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed with him, Lin Yi's tone became more determined.
Fang Xiaoran was depressed. Zhou Chen had a filter in her heart, so Zhou Chen's answer made her a little unacceptable.
She asked in a serious tone: "Director Zhou, do you also think that it is the most correct choice for the head nurse to abort the child?"
"It is the most rational choice."
Zhou Chen corrected Fang Xiaoran's words: "From a life perspective, this is the best choice, but from an emotional perspective, it is not entirely true; Lao Zhao and the head nurse are swayed by emotions and cannot make rational judgments, but this does not mean that they are wrong."
"I think the main reason why they are like this is that this is their first child and may also be their only child in this life, so they are reluctant and can't make up their minds, which is also normal; although they have always said that it doesn't matter if they don't have children, in fact, they are very eager to have a child in their hearts. If they already have a child, they will not be as entangled as they are now."
This sentence silenced the three people, because Zhou Chen was telling the truth. If Zhao Yuliang and Yu Lingyun had a child, they would not be so entangled now, and they would most likely abort the child in grief in the end.
But unfortunately, this is their first child, and I am afraid it will also be the last one, after all, both of them are in their forties.
Fang Xiaoran asked: "Then do you think the head nurse and the others will abort the child?"
Zhou Chen said: "If it was Lao Zhao, I think he would make a rational judgment and not want this child, but the head nurse, I think she might become a gambler, betting that her child is not that bad, and will find ways to remedy it, and most likely will not give up this child."
"You can't gamble on this kind of thing."
Lin Yi was a little excited. He himself was affected by his family's dilated cardiomyopathy throughout his life, and he didn't dare to live like a normal person, so when he saw the child in the head nurse's belly, he could empathize.
He has lived for more than 30 years after all. Although he has not been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, he has always been cautious and trembling.
And the head nurse's child has clearly had complex congenital heart disease, and the situation is much worse than his. He doesn't want to see this child born, which makes their family suffer and painful.
"Is there really no way?" Fang Xiaoran asked with a sad face.
"In fact, there is still a choice."
Instantly, the three of them looked at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Xiaofeng from the cardiology department reacted the fastest.
"You mean, intrauterine intervention?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, intrauterine intervention, pulmonary artery atresia balloon dilatation surgery, but this surgery is not very mature yet, and it has great risks for both the fetus and the pregnant woman. It is very likely to result in one death and two lives. Not many people dare to do this kind of surgery."
Lin Yi frowned and said, "This surgery is too risky. I don't think it's necessary to take this risk."
Zhou Chen said, "I just said it casually. This is what we are discussing. There is no need to let the head nurse know."
Even the kind-hearted Fang Xiaoran was silent now. She felt sad for the head nurse. She had only one child after more than ten years of marriage. Now such a thing happened, she must be very sad.
But when she heard that intrauterine intervention was so dangerous, no matter how kind she was, she couldn't tell the head nurse like this. If she had to choose one of the two, it was still possible that she would lose everything. Normal people knew how to choose.
"Okay, let's stop talking. It's useless for us to talk here. In the end, it depends on the choice of Lao Zhao and the head nurse."
They made a choice and decided to have an abortion, but when it was time to prepare for the operation, Yu Lingyun, as a mother, suddenly burst into maternal love and backed off.
Her backing off naturally made it impossible to do the operation.
After all, Yu Lingyun had worked in the hospital for almost 20 years, and the head nurse had been working for many years. She knew a lot of people in the medical circle. For the sake of the child, she asked around and finally found out about intrauterine intervention.
So she went to register Bai Ji and asked about Bai Ji. Then she thought that Zhou Chen came back from the capital's big hospital and knew more experts, so she ran to Zhou Chen's office.
"Dong Dong."
"Come in."
Zhou Chen looked up and saw the head nurse with a big belly, and was slightly surprised.
"Head nurse, why are you here? Is there something going on in the ICU? Just make a phone call."
Yu Lingyun waved her hand and said, "It's not about work, it's my personal matter."
Zhou Chen understood what she meant at once.
"Is it about the child?"
"Yes, yes, Director Zhou, I came here to ask you, do you know an intrauterine interventional surgery..."
"Balloon dilatation surgery for pulmonary artery atresia?"
Yu Lingyun was overjoyed: "Yes, Director Zhou, do you also know about this operation? I just went to the outpatient clinic where Director Bai was diagnosed and asked him. He said that this operation can solve the problem of my child's congenital heart disease. Director Zhou, are you from I have come back from the capital and am well-informed. Can you give me an evaluation? Is this operation feasible?”
Zhou Chen knew that she would ask others sooner or later, so he didn't hide it.
"It can only be said that it is possible to solve part of the problem, but it cannot completely cure it. Moreover, this operation has great risks for adults. Head nurse, I don't think it is necessary..."
Yu Lingyun was anxious: "Why is it unnecessary? This is my child, the only child in my life. What's wrong with taking some risks? As long as I can save him, I am willing to take no matter how big the risk is. Director Zhou, I think I know, can you do this surgery?”
"Head nurse, this is an intrauterine interventional surgery. To be precise, it belongs to the category of internal medicine. In terms of experience, I am definitely not as good as an expert in internal medicine."
There are specialties in surgery, especially for delicate tasks such as surgery. There is a huge difference between intracardiac and extracardiac surgery.
Yu Lingyun immediately said: "Look at me, my mind is confused. Yes, this is a cardiology surgery."
Zhou Chen advised: "Head nurse, I can understand your feelings as an expectant mother, but you still have to seriously consider this matter and discuss it with Director Zhao."
"Of course we have to discuss it with him. If he knows that the child can be saved, he will definitely be very happy."
Yu Lingyun smiled. Although she only had hope now, seeing hope made her happy enough.
"Director Zhou, thank you. I'm leaving first. I want to tell Lao Zhao the good news."
After saying that, she left happily. Zhou Chen looked at her back and was speechless.
To be honest, Yu Lingyun is really obsessed with this child.
It was a coincidence that at this time, the heart center welcomed another girl with complex congenital heart disease. The appearance of this girl touched both Zhao Yuliang and his wife.
Yu Lingyun's mother's instinct has fully exploded, especially after learning that there is hope, and Zhao Yuliang is a wife-loving person, so in the end they decided to keep the child and undergo balloon dilation of the pulmonary artery. Intrauterine interventional surgery.
In order to help them, Zhou Xiaofeng and others went to find several experts in Dongjiang City such as Fang Zhuqing.
In fact, Zhou Chen is also quite interested in this intrauterine intervention. As a national pediatrician, he is fully capable of participating.
However, he is now a cardiac surgeon. Even if he wanted to try this kind of intrauterine intervention, others would not allow him to take the stage, so he could only watch with others.
Several experts, headed by Fang Zhuqing, began to operate on Yu Lingyun. In fact, this intrauterine intervention was relatively difficult and required strong cooperation. It could not be completed by one person alone.
Although Fang Zhuqing is not a very good person, her medical skills are undoubted. As a well-known cardiologist in the country, her abilities are very outstanding.
The results of the surgery were naturally good, and many people were relieved.
Zhou Chen was very interested after watching the whole process. He felt that if he traveled to other worlds in the future, he could also learn cardiology if possible.
The success of intrauterine intervention does not mean that the fetus in the abdomen will be normal. It depends on his subsequent development. But no matter what, it is much better than before. At least the survival rate after birth has improved a lot.
…………
"I'm back."
Zhou Chen opened the door and walked into the house. He shouted into the house, but received no response. He was slightly surprised, changed his shoes and walked to the living room.
I saw Chen Yue sitting on the sofa, sitting blankly, neither looking at her phone nor working, as if she was lost in thought.
"What’s wrong with you?"
He spoke again, awakening Chen Yue who was in a daze, and she was startled.
"Ah, you're back. You haven't eaten yet. I didn't cook tonight. Let's order takeout."
"No, there are still noodles in the refrigerator. I'll get some noodles while you sit down for a while."
"I'd better go. You just got off work and are quite tired."
"It's okay, I'll just come."
Zhou Chen made some noodles, and the two of them sat at the dining table. Chen Yue lowered her head to eat the noodles, neither of them interested in talking.
After finishing the noodles, he asked again: "Did something happen? I see that you are absent-minded. If you have anything, just tell me."
Chen Yue opened her mouth but made no sound. Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and just waited patiently.
Finally, after two minutes, she made up her mind.
"I received an admission notice from a law school in the UK. This law school is the school I have always wanted to attend. I have been applying. I thought I had no chance. Unexpectedly, I suddenly received the admission notice a few days ago."
"So, you want to read it?"
Chen Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Yes, I want to go. This is the opportunity I have dreamed of. I don't want to give up. However, if I had met you before, I would have done it immediately without hesitation." Just go, but now I have you, so I’m confused now.”
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He knew that in the plot, Chen Yue chose to give up love and choose to study abroad.
They had been in contact for more than half a year, and he knew very well that Chen Yue was a very career-minded woman. Although she was in a relationship with him, she did not give up her career, but focused more on it.
"You are very entangled and can't make a decision, so you want me to help you make a decision?" Zhou Chen calmly analyzed Chen Yue's current thoughts.
Chen Yue didn't say anything, because Zhou Chen was right, she couldn't make a decision, studying abroad and Zhou Chen, she didn't want to give up, she was entangled for a few days, and only confessed to Zhou Chen today.
"If you want me to make a decision for you, then I can only tell you to follow your own wishes. This is not a multiple-choice question, and I don't want you to regret your choice in the future."
Hearing Zhou Chen's answer, Chen Yue suddenly got angry.
"What do you mean? Don't you want us to be together forever?"
"Of course I want to be together, but it's not something I can do just because I want to. The final decision is still yours."
Chen Yue said excitedly: "I don't want to give up this opportunity, nor do I want to give up on you, so I thought about it for a few days and came up with the best solution. Zhou Chen, I love you, and I don't want to be separated from you, so you can go to the UK with me. With your medical skills, you can still work in a big hospital even if you go abroad. If we go abroad together, we don't have to be separated, and we don't have to have an international relationship."
"Go abroad?"
Zhou Chen shook his head: "I can't go abroad with you, and I won't leave Dongli Hospital. I have a task here that I must complete, so I can't go with you."
His main task is to complete 10,000 operations in Dongli Hospital. If he goes abroad with Chen Yue, it will take at least a few years to come back. He doesn't want to delay that long.
Who knows if the main task will be recalculated or fail directly because of changing hospitals in the middle. He doesn't want to take such a big risk to gamble.
What's more, he didn't want to go abroad at all, even for Chen Yue, he didn't want to go. He couldn't give up his mission and go against his heart for Chen Yue's career.
"Why? You are a doctor, and you will still be a doctor if you go abroad, just in a different place. If you love me, why can't you make some sacrifices for me?"
Chen Yue's words made Zhou Chen stunned.
"Since you said that, can I also ask in return, if you love me, why can't you give up studying abroad?"
Chen Yue excitedly said loudly: "Of course not, this is the opportunity I dream of, if I give up, there will be no chance in the future."
"You see, this is why we can't reach a consensus. You want me to make sacrifices, but you don't want to sacrifice yourself. Do you think this is fair?"
Zhou Chen spread his hands and said calmly: "I think you need to calm down and think about it. Think about what you really need?"
