Chapter 727: It’s Thoraic Surgery, Who’s Willing To Lend A Hand

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If this were Sea City General Hospital, Zheng Ren would definitely not...try his best to not go beyond the normal medical procedures and just bring the patient directly to the operating theatre. If he went against the medical procedures, he would probably be criticized by others and reported to the Medical Investigation Council, potentially terminating his future career prospects as a doctor.

However, after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire at the frontline, he had unknowingly undergone some changes. Moreover, this was a critical period so he had to follow authority during an emergency.

“Chief Chen, I have confidence in this patient’s diagnosis. Please believe in me,” Zheng Ren said very seriously to Chief Chen.

His tone was still gentle. Although there were bruises on his face and he looked a little disheveled, there was a sense of trust that rested between his brows.

Chief Chen recalled the scene when he saw Zheng Ren performing interventional surgery in Pengxi Village Hospital.

He looked young but his standard was not low.

Not only was it not low, but it was so high that he could not even see the top even when he raised his head.

Chief Chen might be old but he was not muddle-headed. This was especially true even when he was young. Back then, the procedures for treating patients were not as strict as they were now. Procedural justice? It did not exist at all.

Many years ago, all kinds of auxiliary examination equipment were not available. A good doctor would give a diagnosis and then carry out treatment after taking a look at the patient, conducting a physical examination, and checking the patient’s scans. It could be said that everything was very crude and a little rough at times.

However, Chief Chen was used to this type of diagnosis and treatment.

If it were a younger doctor, he would not hesitate as much as Chief Chen. If he did not do a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction for the blood vessels, he would have to undergo surgery. It wasn’t a joke.

However, after Chief Chen thought about the possibility of this matter, he waved his hand and said, “I’ll contact the operating theater. Once their blood pressure has dropped by about 10 millimeters, we’ll head straight in.”

Zheng Ren nodded and Su Yun looked at the old man with interest.

They still needed to wait for the news. When Zheng Ren and Su Yun saw that Chief Chen was busy, Su Yun asked, “Since we aren’t doing the checkup now, will we just be jumping straight to it later?”

Zheng Ren replied, “If you encounter a patient with cardiac tamponade, won’t you just immediately open up his chest if you’re in the emergency department?”

“How can these two things be the same? My finger...” As he said this, Su Yun paused for a moment. The expression on his face was a little strange.

He had already guessed what Zheng Ren was going to say next.

There was a huge difference between touching the cardiac tamponade with his fingers and looking at the radiographic films from his point of view. However, from Zheng Ren’s point of view, there was no difference at all.

This guy... Su Yun shook his head and did not scold Zheng Ren.

“If you’re tired then take a break. This time, you may need to do a long surgery.” Zheng Ren felt exhausted and was about to lie down.

“Boss, is there a need to work so hard? There are other people here to help,” Su Yun said.

“It’s okay. I heard that the follow-up medical team is coming up soon. We can go down and rest at any time. Before we go down, we should just try to help out a bit more. Moreover, I’m still young. The heart, brain, and blood vessels...” As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer until it disappeared.

At this time, Su Yun was not sleepy at all. He stared at the CT scan and looked at it seriously. His eyes narrowed into slits. The light of the radiographic film viewer was vaguely reflected through his eyes, making them seem as bright as gemstones.

More than ten minutes later, Chief Chen brought more people to bring the patient to the stage.

He repeatedly reminded them that the patient needed to be moved as gently as possible, with no sudden movements.

Once there was a change in aortic dissection patient’s position, it would lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure. That would cause the inner and outer membranes of the blood vessels to be torn apart, causing sudden death.

Su Yun had seen at least ten similar cases in Sea City General Hospital. Because he could not perform interventional surgery in Sea City General Hospital, he prepared to transfer the patient to another hospital.

The patients did not think that it was a serious illness. They thought that the doctor was just trying to scare them. They even refused to lie still and be carefully carried into surgery. As soon as they sat up, they changed their positions and died immediately.

A person whose vital signs were quite normal a second ago died in the blink of an eye. His death was very straightforward.

This kind of illness was really very dangerous.

It was rare that Chief Chen actually trusted Zheng Ren so much. This guy was not popular with women but was quite the hit with older people.

In Sea City, he had Old Chief Physician Pan’s protection. When he went to the Imperial Capital, Department Chief Kong treated him quite well. When he came to the frontline to provide support, he was favored by Chief Chen.

Although it was useless, Su Yun glanced sideways at Zheng Ren and saw that he was sleeping soundly. His face was bruised and his originally disheveled face was filled with an indescribable sense of trust.

Su Yun let out a long breath and subconsciously blew at the black hair on his forehead. However, they had been doing surgery for far too long. The strand of black hair had been pressed down so hard that it could not fly.

He put the radiographic films into the bag and rushed to the stretcher trolley before Chief Chen brought the patient to the stage.

“Where’s Doctor Zheng?” Chief Chen asked.

“He’s asleep. I’ll go up first and start disinfecting. Just call him from this side,” Su Yun said nonchalantly.

Chief Chen knew that he had endured for too long. He could even fall asleep while standing, let alone sitting down.

He did not have any objections and brought the patient up to the stage.

“Chief Chen, is this surgery performed by the vascular department or the interventional department? What brand of membrane stents are you using?” Zheng Ren’s voice came from behind.

When did he wake up? Su Yun frowned slightly and turned his head. “Why are you up?”

“I’m fine. I couldn’t really sleep well either. When I return to the Imperial Capital, I’ll find a place to sleep for a few days and nights.” Zheng Ren was very listless, and his footsteps were shaky.

Su Yun did not stop him. After listening to Chief Chen’s nagging, he arrived at the entrance of the Class Three Grade-A Hospital’s operating theater.

Inside, there were a few hybrid operating tables.

As the use of interventional surgery in the clinic increased, the doctors in large Class Three Grade-A Hospitals were also used to hybrid surgeries.

However, there were not many operations. The orthopedic doctors were the ones who used such tables the most.

The fracture was cut open and repositioned. After it was fixed, they would take a picture to make people feel at ease. After the joint replacement surgery, they would do another follow-up. It was usually a very easy process.

However, using the hybrid operating room like this was a bit of a waste.

“Doctor Zheng, the doctors from the Vascular Department are performing surgery. They won’t be able to come down for the time being. We’ll have to trouble you on this side,” Chief Chen said.

Zheng Ren nodded. He had long expected that to be the case.

It would be strange if there was a doctor who was free. Chief Chen’s hands and eyes were already extraordinary to be able to open up an operating table for himself and for it to be a hybrid operating table too.

Being able to perform surgery in the operating theater was also in line with Zheng Ren’s psychological expectations.

Chief Chen brought the doctor to carry the patient while Zheng Ren and Su Yun went to change their clothes.

Just as they put on their isolation suits, a voice came from the corridor. “Who’s free? Come over and give us a hand!”

After waiting for a few seconds, no one said anything.

“Chief Shao will be performing the thoracic surgery. Someone, give us a hand!” the circulating nurse shouted at the top of her voice.

Zheng Ren smiled bitterly.

It was likely that all the doctors were exhausted. They could not even find supporting staff. It was already good enough to have a doctor as the chief surgeon. As for the assistant, he could just find a random intern or advanced student to lend a hand.

However, after a few days and nights, he could not even find someone to lend a hand.

If he really could not do it, he could only ask the scrub nurse to help. However, if that was the case, the surgery would be done rather slowly.

Su Yun raised his eyebrows and said, “Boss, you can go lower the peritoneum shelf by yourself. I’ll perform a chest surgery as a refresher?”

He was using a question to seek Zheng Ren’s opinion.

Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Go ahead.”

Su Yun completely came to life. He stuck his head out and shouted, “How many hands do you need?”

“At least three.” The circulating nurse was very happy. Although she did not know who was the one who had spoken up, it was always good to have someone follow in for the surgery.

“Boss, I’ll be going!” Su Yun seized the time to put on a sterile hat. While he was putting on a mask, he said, “You’re not going to perform a thoracic surgery either. It’s so frustrating.”
