680 Pure (1/2)
Huo Congjun slowly entered the operating theater.
He was seen taking his seat on the stool that was left behind by a busy Su Jiafu. He stared at the surgery with the eyes of an old military doctor, and he asked, ”Ling Ran, don't you want to rest for a while? Didn't you say you just came to take a look?”
Su Jiafu's eyelids kept twitching, but when his eyes met the old military doctor's, Su Jiafu lowered his head and reflected upon himself. 'I was too careless. Rebuker Huo does not usually come to the operating theater. Now that Ling Ran is back, how could he not come? Why did I leave my stool now? Do my instincts actually want me to die of a heart attack because of exhaustion?'
Ling Ran answered at that moment, ”I ran into a case of pure appendicitis, and the patient requested laparotomy.”
Doctor Zhou secretly sighed in relief.
He was so afraid that Ling Ran would inadvertently mention him.
Although staying lazy for a while would make him happy for a while, Doctor Zhou pursued the goal of happily staying lazy for his entire life. If he was targeted by Department Director Huo, he would definitely need to work on a night-shift today, and that was not accounting the other things Huo Congjun would do to him. By then, he needed to pray that there were no patients at night…
Doctor Zhou could not help but pray.
”Are there still patients requesting for laparotomy? To save money?” Huo Congjun asked, but he was not conflicted by the patient's origins.
In truth, there were only a few people in the operating theater, and Huo Congjun did not bother to ask about the patient's origin. If the one who had always been lazy was so lazy that laziness had grown embedded into his spirit, could he expect him to be hardworking again?
Doctor Zhou quickly answered, ”The condition of the patient's family does not look good, and he did not even buy the most general of town medical insurances. The patient strongly requested for laparotomy, so we can only perform laparotomy for them. ”
”Alright,” Huo Congjun answered. ”There will be no next time. In the future, if it's not due to medical research purposes, try using laparotomy for appendectomy only as a last resort. If the patient insists and his stamina permits it, transfer him to another hospital. ”
Unlike surgeries like thoracoscopy, patients who received laparoscopic appendectomy would always benefit more than patients who received laparotomy.
Huo Congjun clicked his tongue and said, ”In the past, we always had patients requesting slightly less potent medicines and inferior techniques to save more money… Hmm… it is not a good memory, but, at that time…”
Huo Congjun could not help but fall into a reverie.
Ling Ran quietly waited for the number on the screen to reach the baseline before he looked at Su Jiafu.
Su Jiafu gritted his teeth, took a look at Huo Congjun, and glanced at the stool under Huo Congjun's butt. Then, he sighed and turned around to look at the screen before he said, ”It's ready. Cardiac rhythm 75, blood pressure 112/80. The patient has high blood pressure. She has not received any treatment and never took any medicine.”
He deliberately mentioned it to Ling Ran. After all, he had just taken over this case.
”We'll begin with the surgery.” Ling Ran nodded.
Ling Ran extended his hand, and the handle of a scalpel was immediately placed on his palm.
Ling Ran took the scalpel and cut down gently. Then, a coin-sized incision was made.
Before the time of abdominoscopy, the outcome of appendectomies using laparotomies always focused on the size of the incision. Ling Ran was not bothered by this too much. However, compared to the appendectomies using laparotomies that normal doctors performed, his incision was very small.
A few medical staff who entered the Operating Area but did not have any surgeries to perform at this time naturally gathered together. They were like villagers who paid a visit to another house as they stood with one hand on their waists and puffed out their chests. They watched while discussing in a low voice.
”Finally, we can see Doctor Ling's surgery again.”
”His first surgery when he came back is an appendectomy. If I were him, I would not touch any organ below the liver.”
”Really? Then, let me ask you. If you're finally not single and your partner is a beautiful girl, but she asks something from you: If you can touch a d*ck, she will marry you. What will you do?”
”Whose d*ck? Mine, or the beautiful girl's?”
*Slap.*
