821 Captain Chu (1/2)
”How's the situation now?” Captain Chu displayed what little remained of his lovely personality when he was a child. He tried to act cute by squeezing his eyes together, as though he was trying to get rid of the goop in his eyes.
Department Director Huo sighed. ”Captain Chu, didn't we come to an agreement just now? It's already against the rules for you to stay here and watch the surgery. If you still want to talk, it will not be suitable to the situation.”
”Just one last sentence.” Captain Chu was so anxious that his eyes almost became red.
”That's why I said that other than being angry and anxious, the patients' family members will serve no other purpose when they watch a doctor's surgery?” Huo Congjun angrily scolded Captain Chu before he said, ”Now, we're watching the left edge of the hepatoduodenal ligament, and soon, we will cut the hepatogastric ligament.”
”What happens after you cut it?”
Huo Congjun said in resignation, ”After we cut it, we can look for the common hepatic artery. Anyway, now, we are at the stage where we sever the connection between the stomach and liver, understand?”
”No…” Captain Chu was not in a good mood. ”If I understood, why would I ask you?”
”Anyway, now we have to cut the connection between the stomach and liver. Then, we can remove the stomach.”
”Didn't you say that you would cut only a portion of his stomach?” Captain Chu became worked up.
Huo Congjun shook his head. ”We're just removing a portion of the stomach.”
”But you just said that the surgeon will be removing the stomach.”
”It's just a slip of the tongue.”
Captain Chu looked at Huo Congjun skeptically before he said, ”If you want to remove the whole stomach, let's stop with the surgery.”
”What? Why?” The surgeon by the side could not bear to listen to the conversation anymore.
Huo Congjun waved his hand and stopped the surgeon from speaking. He said, ”Catch the main point. He has no right to decide how much of the stomach we cut and whether we want to remove it or not.”
Once he finished his words, Huo Congjun turned his head around. He did not want to bother himself with this blockhead.
Captain Chu could not accept the answer and said, ”What do you mean, I can't? I'm his immediate superior, so why can't I decide the matter? Before Old Xu went in, he asked me to take a look for him. Don't you doctors know how torturous total gastrectomy is? You can't perform it, no way…”
”If no surgery means death, what would you choose?” The anesthetist by the side was angry.
Huo Congjun waved his hand again. ”Please catch the main point, okay? It has nothing to do with him whether we want to perform the surgery and how much of the stomach we remove. Captain Chu, do you have the full power of attorney?”
Captain Chu was stunned a little. Then, he shook his head and said, ”I don't need that thing. I can decide.”
”Got it.” Huo Congjun confirmed his status as a blockhead again, and he was too lazy to make any further explanations.
Captain Chu had no choice but to be quiet.
A few minutes later, Captain Chu opened his mouth again. This time, he spoke slowly, ”Um… Old doctor, excuse me. I was a little short-tempered earlier. Just do whatever you should do. I just want a good outcome, but I just did not know how to make it a good outcome.”
As he spoke, he also sighed heavily, and he moved to the chair behind him as if he glided there.
The young doctor who was originally sitting on the chair could only give up his seat.
Huo Congjun had been scolding people for a long time, so he also knew how to balance his words between scolding and comforting someone. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not when he admitted to his mistake, it was already not easy for him to say this in front of so many people. Huo Congjun then lowered his voice and said, ”It's just like what you said, it's useless to blow your temper over these things. And from our perspective, there's no need to hurry. The surgery is going smoothly, so you don't need to be anxious, right?”
Captain Chu silently nodded.
”Do you know what surgery Doctor Ling performs most nowadays?” Huo Congjun explained from another perspective.
Captain Chu shook his head.
