Doctor watches heart surgery for first time ODESSA (AP) — The Chinese sur geon silently viewed his first triple-by- pass, open-heart surgery, his eyes trained on the surgeon’s hands probing the exposed, beating heart. As Dr. Shu Neng Yan, head surgeon of Central Hospital of Shengli Oil Field in Dongyin, China, looked on. Medical Center Hospital’s surgeon Alan Lesh- nower and operating room nurses con nected the 72-year-old woman’s heart to a heart-lung machine. Dr. Andres Morales withdrew a vein from the patient’s leg that would replace clogged arteries leading to her heart, and MCH anesthesiologist Dr. David Gloyna monitored the woman’s vital signs. Gloyna said that such a team approach to surgery, in which each member con centrates on his own job, is what makes an operation successful. “We do about 250 of these a year,’’ Gloyna told The Odessa American, add ing that 1973 marked the first open-heart surgery at MCH. While Yan viewed the surgery Mon day, three other Chinese doctors toured the 376-bed hospital. The Chinese physicians spoke through Dr. S.Y. Liu, an MCH surgeon and Tai wan native. The visitors were here last week to see the Permian Basin Oil Show. “I see the hospital as clean and well- managed,’’ said Dr. Zuo Chang Yin, the assistant director and chief physician of Dongyin’s Central Hospital, a 750-bed facility. Open-heart operations are performed in other Chinese cities, but the doctors said hospitals in their oil-based Chinese community lack the capability. The Chinese doctors said they can du plicate many of the procedures they saw in America. Official sees no rise in rate of insolvencies AUSTIN (AP) — Despite the insol vency of National County Mutual Fire Insurance Co., a state official says con sumers shouldn’t fear a jump in failures by Texas insurers. Insurance Commissioner Doyce Lee said that in the past six weeks, he has put 15 companies under day-to-day supervi sion by the board. But that is the result of staff reorganization by the board, not a sign of increased insolvency, Lee said. Companies under board supervision have financial or other problems. In su pervising companies’ management, the goal is to make the companies solvent again. Lee said his staff succeeds about half the time. The effort to save National County failed, however, and this week the com pany was put into the largest liquidation of a property and casualty company in state history. National County, based in Dallas, was an estimated $54 million in the red with 125,000 policyholders. Its primary busi ness was auto insurance for drivers who were high risks and had problems getting coverage elsewhere. Lee said the board would investigate the company’s failure, but he said it al ready was apparent that there was a real collection problem from the agents who failed to pass on to the company all pre miums due. State Board of Insurance statistics show that 25 insurance companies went into receivership in fiscal year 1988, which ended Aug. 31. In fiscal year 1987, the number was 18 companies. The board said it has a total of 131 com panies, agents and unauthorized insurers in receivership or being liquidated.
