421 Laparotomy (1/2)
Ling Ran scrubbed his hands seriously.
Scrubbing hands required time for thorough disinfection and sanitization. Although the patient in the operating theater was in critical condition, Ling Ran did not feel nervous with his assistants behind him.
The doctors in the same group with Huo Congjun still wandered around the patients with crush injuries, hence Lu Wenbin, Yu Yuan, and Zuo Cidian in Ling Treatment Group obtained a chance to operate on this patient, but they were slightly lost in the operating theater.
In other treatment groups, there would be one or two senior attending physician or associate chief physicians beneath the chief physicians or associate chief physicians who shouldered great responsibilities. The junior resident doctors like Lu Wenbin would not be able to be the chief surgeons unless it was a job that involved the removal of foreign objects or fish bones.
Naturally, Lu Wenbin was not considered a chief surgeon now as well. He was just standing at the position of the chief surgeon.
”What should I do?” Lu Wenbin asked Yu Yuan who stood at his side.
Yu Yuan did not get to stand at the chief surgeon's position, so she pursed her lips unhappily and said, ”If you don't know what to do, why did you run so quickly to the place?”
”I saw you turn around to the back!” Lu Wenbin felt wronged.
Yu Yuan's face became livid with rage. ”I went to take the stepping stool!”
Lu Wenbin twitched his mouth. He felt that it was not appropriate for him to laugh, so he forced himself to say, ”You need to get this kind of thing ready beforehand. Besides, you shouldn't move it on your own, you should ask people for help.”
Yu Yuan stared at Lu Wenbin with a face that said, ”Are you serious?” Then, she said, ”If I put two stepping stools at the chief surgeon's position beforehand, what will happen if Doctor Ling comes? If I don't find the stepping stools on my own, how can I ask people to move them over for me?”
”Yu Yuan, you really gave this a lot of thought,” Zuo Cidian could not stand the conversation anymore. If he continued listening to them, he might end up laughing.
Lu Wenbin chuckled before he lowered his head and said, ”Let us talk about the surgery first…”
Yu Yuan obviously did not want to talk about this topic too. She snorted and said, ”It's not our turn to perform surgery yet. Right now, we need to check all our preoperative preparations. Firstly, we need to check all the equipment for CPR. Defibrillator, ventilator, tracheotomy pack…”
After Yu Yuan had been working as the chief resident for more than a month, her presence became totally different. Most importantly, her confidence became much stronger.
This was just like how a student would stay in school for more than ten hours every day to prepare for the college entrance examination when it was around the corner and only went back home for a shower in one or two weeks. Two months later, the student would surely have a surprising change. At least, the student knew his or her limitations, like which questions he or she could challenge, which questions he or she could not answer…
Yu Yuan was also the same.
In the beginning, she was not good at surgery. Before she became a chief resident, she always felt that it was because she had no chance to perform surgeries, and it led to her being incompetent…
After becoming a chief resident, Yu Yuan slowly understood that she was really not good at practical surgery!
However, being bad in surgery did not mean that Yu Yuan was not good at surgical medicine, and it absolutely did not mean that she could not grow in the field of medicine. The long period of being a chief resident had made Yu Yuan understand this problem clearly.
When she worked as the chief resident in the Emergency Department, most patients she encountered did not need surgery. It was even rarer for her to encounter patients who needed to enter the operating theater.
Yu Yuan could always pass these patients to doctors who were good at surgery, or she could always call the doctors from other departments for consultation…
Therefore, Yu Yuan saw her limitations, at the same time, she knew her specialty…
She earnestly completed her preoperative preparation. Meanwhile, she paid attention to the patient's vital signs all the time and frequently gave instructions in medicine prescription.
Yu Yuan did everything she could do except for the opening of the abdominal cavity…
Ling Ran walked into the operating theater.
He first looked at the monitor before he asked Su Jiafu, who was next to him. ”How's the patient's condition?”
”He is still stable, but his blood loss is a little concerning. Look at the drainage bag at the bottom, it's almost full.” Su Jiafu was slightly bogged down on this. For an anesthetist, it was very difficult to maintain the stability of such a patient.
”This means that there is still active bleeding in the abdominal cavity.” Ling Ran turned around and asked, ”Has the patient's family signed the informed consent form?”
”I'll make the call.” The circulating nurse immediately went to make a phone call.
It was at this moment that Huo Congjun finally received the Volkswagen Jetta where the patients' parents were.
Ling Ran nodded silently. He put on the surgical gown and gloves with the help of the circulating nurse.
