Just at this moment, the anesthetist arrived.
After greetings, the anesthetist inquired about the situation and patiently waited on the side for the surgical doctors to conclude their consultation.
"Dr. Chi, what's your opinion?" Doctor Ruan looked towards the attending physician from Digestive Internal Medicine.
"I support the approach of the Emergency Department. This patient has underlying conditions, is of advanced age, and is exceptionally weak, compounded by pus around the gallbladder, which makes the surgery extremely risky. Moreover, the remnants of vomit at the corners of the patient's mouth suggest that there hasn't been a long period of fasting before surgery. I propose first to drain the biliary sweat, evacuate the pus and reduce inflammation, then provide IV nutritional support and fasting. It's not too late to perform surgery once the criteria are met."
Dr. Chi's observation was meticulous, truly admirable.
