Chapter 138 Surgical Informed Consent Form

When Zhang Dagen was brought to the small courtyard, Doctor Liu and three imperial physicians had already made preparations for the surgery.

When Zhang Dagen was wheeled to the operating room door, all those who came to help were stopped outside.

The Zhang family members who followed later wanted to go inside, but Doctor Liu immediately scolded them, saying, "If you keep causing trouble, just take him back yourselves. We're too lazy to waste our energy saving him."

The Zhang family members knew they were in the wrong; they had lost their composure due to their anxiety. Now, after being reprimanded by Doctor Liu, they quickly apologized and left the courtyard.

After Dr. Liu and the three imperial physicians clumsily pushed Zhang Dagen into the operating room, they changed him into a sterilized hospital gown.

They lifted Zhang Dagen onto the operating table and then tried to examine his body using the instruments in the operating room.

Although they don't yet understand the function of everything here, some things they've observed before, such as the magnifying glasses, have provided a lot of help.

They were focused and sharp-eyed, carefully observing Zhang Dagen's wounds like detectives.

They noticed that Zhang Dagen had a severe head injury, which was the reason he was unconscious.

This discovery made them realize that they had to take action as soon as possible, or the consequences would be dire.

So they immediately began discussing surgical options, trying to find the best treatment method.

Dr. Liu frowned and said in a serious tone, "We must perform surgery as soon as possible to remove the blood clots in Zhang Dagen's skull so that he can regain consciousness."

The other three imperial physicians nodded in agreement and actively participated in the discussion.

They each offered their own suggestions, but all faced significant risks.

Time was of the essence; every minute could jeopardize Zhang Dagen's life.

Faced with such a dire situation, Dr. Liu was extremely anxious.

He was well aware of the importance of this surgery and understood what it would mean if it failed.

But he was not defeated by the pressure; instead, he became even more determined to do his best to save Zhang Dagen's life.

After a heated discussion, Dr. Liu finally found a feasible surgical plan.

They had previously read the medical books provided by Ruan Mumu and often tried to perform craniotomy during practice, but practice is just practice after all. They dared not be careless when facing real patients.

Now that they have this clean operating room and those advanced instruments, they feel they can give it a try.

After all, the three old doctors were all experienced physicians who had accumulated most of their life experience.

"Uncle Liu, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Could you come here for a moment?" Just before they were about to begin the surgery, Dr. Liu heard Ruan Mumu's words.

So he quickly opened the door and saw Ruan Mumu standing there anxiously waiting for him to appear.

"Mumu, what happened?" Doctor Liu asked.

"Uncle Liu, every surgery carries risks. In the future, before you have any surgery, you must have their relatives sign this 'Informed Consent Form' and inform them of the possible risks of the surgery."

If you don't agree to sign, there will be no protection for you in case of any unexpected events, so you must get them to sign.

"If you refuse to sign, the surgery cannot be performed, to avoid any complications that could cause problems," Ruan Mumu reminded Dr. Liu, following modern pre-operative procedures.

“Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. We are just human beings, not gods. There are risks in everything we do.” Doctor Liu immediately understood what Ruan Mumu meant.

"Wait a moment, I'll go bring someone in, and you can explain the risks of the surgery to his family," Ruan Mumu said.

Dr. Liu nodded.

Ruan Mumu quickly brought Zhang Jiuye in.

"Dr. Liu, how is my son now? Is his injury serious?" Master Zhang asked anxiously.

“Master Zhang, your son’s injury is on his head. There is blood clots in his head. If it is not removed immediately, he may never wake up, or his life may be in danger.”

"I've been discussing with several senior doctors about performing surgery on your son. Before the surgery, I want to tell you about the risks involved," Dr. Liu said.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang became anxious, realizing that surgery also carried risks. He urgently asked, "Dr. Liu, please operate on my son!"

"We're not 100% sure either, maybe only 50%. If you agree to the surgery, please sign the 'Informed Surgery Form' before we can begin the procedure."

"If you don't agree to the surgery, we won't dare to perform it rashly, after all, there are always risks involved." Dr. Liu explained the situation to Grandpa Zhang.

"What? Only a 50% chance?" The Zhang family members exclaimed in surprise from outside the courtyard gate.

They had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the courtyard, so they vaguely heard about the risks of the surgery.

"Honey, we're not going to have this surgery, sob sob..." The sound of Zhang Jiuye's wife crying could be heard from outside.

Ignoring the sounds outside the door, Master Zhang hesitated for a moment before firmly saying, "Dr. Liu, I trust you. I'll sign."

When Ruan Mumu heard that he agreed to sign, she took out a water-based pen and handed it to him.

"I can't write either!" Master Zhang said with difficulty.

Ruan Mumu took out some ink and handed it to Master Zhang, saying, "Then let's just make handprints!"

Master Zhang pressed his thumb into the inkpad, and then pressed his handprint in the position specified by Ruan Mumu.

After printing, the smile on Zhang Jiuye's face was more like a bitter smile, but he still couldn't help but urge, "Dr. Liu, I'm entrusting my son to you. You must save him."

Dr. Liu didn't say anything, turned around and went into the operating room, closing the door behind him.

Before the surgery began, Dr. Liu took a deep breath and silently prayed for a successful operation.

He knew that this was a race against death, and only by racing against time could he win.

Under his leadership, the four imperial physicians worked together closely to fight for Zhang Dagen's life.

During the surgery, Dr. Liu and the three imperial physicians carefully performed each step, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

They continuously adjusted the surgical instruments to ensure the surgery proceeded smoothly.

At the same time, they closely monitored Zhang Dagen's vital signs, ready to deal with any possible unexpected situations.

After more than two hours of effort, the surgery was finally completed.

Doctor Liu and the three imperial physicians were exhausted, but they wore relieved smiles on their faces.

They knew that the surgery was very successful and Zhang Dagen's injuries had been effectively treated.

Next, all that's needed is for Zhang Dagen to rest well and wait for his recovery.
