Chapter 40 - Surveillance of the Surgery (2/2)
On the big screen, a young man raised his hand to the victim’s chest and started the surgery smoothly. After a stable operation, he raised his hand from the chest area and held a red bullet between the forceps.
It was red because it was stained with blood.
At that moment, the ward’s indicator showed the victim’s physical indicators. All the values were stable.
From the data, it could be clearly seen that the victim was in a very good condition. There were barely any changes to the values, and they were always within the safe range.
Upon seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this patient was not in any danger!
But at the same time, everyone was stunned. This was very wrong! Didn’t they say that this chief surgeon was an intern who had yet to graduate from university? Did interns also know how to perform surgeries? This overturned their impression of interns.
Most importantly, an intern who had yet to graduate from school could not participate in surgeries even if he became a resident doctor, much less have any experience in live surgeries.
Was this is an autopsy? The patient in front of them was a living person, a dying patient!
Not everyone could operate on others just because they entered the hospital!
It usually required a few years working in the ward, then a couple of years as a surgical assistant before the possibility of becoming a chief surgeon arose.
Some people were more capable and adopted faster. These people started quickly and performed their surgeries quickly. The time spent training until they could actually perform surgeries was also very short. On the other hand, for some people whose abilities were weaker, their time would naturally be longer. In this case, the time spent training until they could actually participate in surgery would be longer.
In addition, according to the needs of the wards, some doctors could quickly start practicing. They would have very little practical experience in surgery, such as appendicitis, cyst, and so on. These were all surgeries performed by young doctors.
Since this might endanger the patient’s life, hospitals and wards needed to be more careful. Under normal circumstances, one needed to be at least a resident doctor in order to have the right to participate in the surgery and perform the surgery. Interns, intern doctors, and resident doctors. These were three mountains, and it was not easy to cross them.
Yes, even if some people became resident doctors, they could only perform simple minor surgeries.
For a large and medium-sized surgery like open-heart surgery, it was at least the level of the chief physician. This was not a joke, nor was it a movie!
Everyone looked as if they had just eaten sh*t as they watched the monitor. The chief surgeon looked very young, but his movements were very skilled, steady, accurate, and precise. He was even better than some of the chief surgeons who were hesitant and imprecise.
His hands were shockingly stable during the surgery.
There was nothing wrong with the entire process. This was what surprised them.
Everyone was shocked.
During the entire surgery, this young doctor was multitasking. He performed the surgery meticulously and in an orderly manner without making any mistakes. He took out the bullet, sutured the internal muscles, sutured the left ventricle… took out the bullet, sutured the wall of the lung… took out the bullet, sutured the small bowel perforation… until the last suturing of the chest…
All the steps took less than fifteen minutes, and the entire surgery took less than twenty minutes..
