Surgery Godfather-Chapter 630 - 573: My Professor is Really Steady

Maintaining patient privacy is a principle for doctors.

The four key principles of medical theory are - no harm, respect, beneficence, and justice.

Due to the nature of the medical profession, doctors often have access to certain private aspects of a patient’s life. These could be things the patient has never disclosed or exposed to anyone, including physical and mental aspects.

Therefore, doctors must respect the medical confidentiality of patients. Breaching this confidentiality damages the doctor-patient relationship and results in a loss of patients’ trust in healthcare professionals and medicine.

This is a fundamental professional principle.

Even Zhang Lin, who is known as one of the biggest gossips at Sanbo, will keep his mouth shut when it comes to patients’ privacy.

The sunny boy is called Qin Xiaowei. Apart from other things, his values are quite straightforward and upright.

He told Yang Ping that Li Jun is actually a patient suffering from uremia, requiring dialysis twice a week.

Both of them are Beijing-drifters. Instability in their work often leads to interruptions in their medical and social insurance payments.

After a year in the live streaming industry, they made some money, all of which was spent on Li Jun’s medical treatment, especially on dialysis, which is very expensive without reimbursement.

Their financial situation improved when medical and social insurance was paid according to the flexible employment policy.

Perhaps Yang Ping’s steady image gave this young man trust, and he told Yang Ping a lot.

"Uremia, did you tell Dr. Li Guodong about this condition? Arrange for dialysis immediately." Yang Ping asked, empathetic towards their situation.

Qin Xiaowei nodded, "I just told him. We had dialysis before coming here. Tomorrow, we need to arrange for dialysis."

"Ajun is prepared to have a kidney transplant. We’re waiting for a kidney donor. I’ve been tested for compatibility and the doctor said I meet the requirements. I plan to donate one of my kidneys to him, but the doctor said we need to go through an ethical approval process. We are currently in that process. Will this surgery affect the subsequent kidney transplant?"

Qin Xiaowei was quite worried.

Yang Ping assured him that it would not affect the subsequent kidney transplant.

In fact, if the teratoma is not removed, it could affect the kidney transplant surgery later on. At least, the pressure from the teratoma could cause organ displacement, making the kidney transplant surgery more difficult.

"Actually, I have ten thousand right now, reserved for the kidney transplant. I don’t dare to touch it. So, I have to raise additional funds. Just give me three days, and I can get the funds together. Ajun has been very depressed due to his physical condition and has attempted suicide several times. I stopped him just in time. I will always stay by his side, but it would be great if the nurses could take extra care of him. It would be best to lock the doors and windows. Recently, his mood has improved a lot." Qin Xiaowei became more and more relaxed as he spoke.

He told Yang Ping that Li Jun had attempted suicide by taking sleeping pills and swallowing a ring.

Fortunately, he found Li Jun in time and avoided a tragedy.

"Beijing’s health insurance can be used for network reimbursement, so don’t worry too much about money." Yang Ping informed him about health insurance policies, as many patients are not familiar with them.

In fact, now many places can access the internet and interstate medical insurance can be directly reported, which is very convenient.

Qin Xiaowei is a person who knows how to keep it short. He didn’t want to take up too much of Yang Ping’s time. He asked a few simple questions and then left the meeting room.

After he left, Yang Ping returned to his office and once again pulled up Li Jun’s outpatient examination information. He instructed Li Guodong to add a few more tests to Li Jun’s preoperative examination, such as a sex identification chromosome test.

Still feeling unsure, Yang Ping returned to the ward and thoroughly examined Li Jun again. He did not find anything new.

Qin Xiaowei and Li Jun were very understanding of Yang Ping’s caution and showed no impatience.

Upon reconfirming, Yang Ping was certain that this young man was indeed a male patient.

The diagnosis of teratoma from imaging was definitely unquestionable. Yang Ping was just being extra careful and going the extra mile.

Yang Ping also reminded Li Guodong and the head nurse to take preventative measures, given Li Jun’s past suicidal tendencies. Also, during their interactions with him, they needed to be mindful of their attitude.

Because patients with depression are highly sensitive, Yang Ping urged everyone to ensure he feels that the world is beautiful.

As a doctor, excessive caution is never unnecessary!

After arranging these matters, it was already past eight o’clock. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were already prepared for the lecture.

During live streaming on the forum, only the PPT image is displayed. Yang Ping only contributed to the voice, as he prefers not to show his face.

This lecture is not only for the members of the forum but also serves as a learning opportunity for the doctors in the department. Interns are not required to attend.

As interns’ knowledge and understanding is not yet at the level to comprehend such a lecture.

However, those who volunteer to attend are welcome.

So-called immersion probably works like this - frequently receiving such information naturally improves understanding.

Zhang Lin and Little Five are like that. They are ordinary people, far from having the scholastic talents of Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang.

However, they are constantly learning from Yang Ping, receiving hands-on guidance from Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, their theoretical knowledge and surgical skills are far superior to doctors of the same level.

With many surgeries and consistent training, they naturally became proficient.

It’s like reciting a poem from the Tang dynasty hundreds of times, eventually, you will learn recitation, even if you can’t compose a poem.

Then again, these two have not only been forced to recite poems from Tang Dynasty, but they also study poetry composition with Li Bai and Du Fu every day.

Even though they could only say "WOW" in the beginning, now they can write a few decent poems.

At this moment, the chat room in the forum is very lively.
