836 Tiny Wais (1/2)

Due to the shock he received after seeing the single-site laparoscopy, Ren Qi was able to carry on until the afternoon without having a mental breakdown.

He was even a little excited as he entered the operating theater again.

That was extremely hard to come by. Ren Qi was a little excited during his first two days in Yun Hua Hospital, but the tediousness of work had worn that down.

Ren Qi deliberately changed into a pair of new scrubs, as the one he was wearing was soaked in sweat after he worked for a whole morning.

The surgery was held in Operating Theater 2, which was not equipped with a visitation room. Hence, a few doctors who had no surgeries on their schedules entered the operating theater to watch the surgery. The red light of the high-definition camera mounted on the ceiling was also shining.

Ren Qi stuck out his tongue when nobody was looking at him. He had been in Yun Hua Hospital for a few days, and he had not walked around Yun Hua City for even a single minute. He spent all his time in the operating theaters, so he knew the doctors in the hospital quite well. He knew that only a few renowned doctors in Yun Hua Hospital got to receive this kind of treatment.

Even department directors of ordinary departments would not have such a big audience unless they were carrying out demonstrative surgeries.

Humans did not have much tolerance for ordinary things.

That was even truer in hospitals since it was an ivory tower.

Renowned doctors merely had to raise their hands, and thousands of other doctors would follow them. However, top-class doctors who were slightly less skillful than those renowned doctors would have no choice but to spend their days alone.

Aside from this, the camera lenses in the operating theaters were also a double-edged sword, and not every doctor dared to take up this challenge. That was especially true for older doctors and the one who had never received training from an excellent academy. They had an instinctive fear of the camera lenses in the operating theaters.

They did not mind carrying out live demonstrations, but it was a completely different thing when their maneuvers were being captured on camera, allowing other people to watch every single detail.

Many doctors who managed to obtain their positions through social connections naturally disliked being watched by doctors they were not familiar with.

Ren Qi moved closer to the operating table and greeted the doctor beside him. \”It's a single site laparoscopy today, isn't it?\”

\”Oh, it's a single site one?\” The resident doctor beside Ren Qi looked like he had just regained his senses.

Ren Qi froze for a moment. \”Then, what are you here for?\”

\”Hmm… Surgery for chronic appendicitis?\” The resident doctor sounded rather hesitant, and this was mostly because of Ren Qi's age. To resident doctors, all men who were old with wrinkles and were wearing large white coats were senior doctors.

Ren Qi was also paying attention to the other party's age. He deliberately asked, \”Aren't you excited that it's a single site laparoscopy?\”

The young resident doctor asked in a baffled manner, \”Why should I be?\”

Ren Qi licked his lips, and for some reason, he felt a surge of bitterness wash over him. Even the young doctors in Yun Hua Hospital were used to this kind of technology, but these technologies were new to him, and he yearned for them.

Single site laparoscopy was indeed a new technology that Ren Qi yearned for.

Very few surgical methods were carried out in the county hospital, and all the patients who suffered from serious illnesses head to Yun Hua City for surgery. There were even patients who would go straight to Beijing or Guangzhou.

Aside from idiots, who were rare to come by, only those with minor ailments were willing to get operated in the county hospital. For example, patients with appendicitis or cholecystitis. They either found it inconvenient to head to Yun Hua City or were worried that the medical fees in Yun Hua City would be too high, and these were the only reasons that made them willing to receive surgery in the county hospital.

However, even patients who were willing to get operated in county hospitals hoped that they would receive the kind of quality treatment that they could receive in Yun Hua. In reality, the probability of this was extremely low, it would not hurt to give patients something to look forward to. Hence, it was important to leave a good impression on them.

Laparoscopy was becoming increasingly common in secondary hospitals, and this was because it was hard for the General Surgery Departments that did not have laparoscopy as a surgical method to even survive. Even though patients knew nothing about the field of medicine, the differences between open abdominal surgery and laparoscopy were plain to see.

There were always patients who would choose to receive surgery at a provincial hospital that was closer to their homes and they were more familiar with just because both the provincial hospital and the hospital in the city offered open abdominal surgery. They might also choose to receive surgery at a provincial hospital that was closer to their homes and they were more familiar with the occasion where both the provincial hospital and the hospital in the city offered laparoscopy. However, if the provincial hospital only offered open abdominal surgery while the hospital in the city offered laparoscopy, these patients might choose to head to the latter.

Single site laparoscopy was also a similar determining factor. Even though it would not influence a patient's decision as much as the choice between open abdominal surgery and laparoscopy, the difference between having three or four incisions on the abdomen and having only one incision on the abdomen was very obvious to patients.

Ren Qi hoped that he would be able to master single scope laparoscopy so that he could launch this surgical method in the General Surgery Department of his county hospital in Qiu County.

He could imagine the way he would receive more and more patients after launching this surgical method. He might even get promoted to associate chief physician or chief physician because of this.

Doctors from the same departments rarely chose to further their skills in the same surgical method, as the competition would be as tough as when there were two manufacturers offering the same kind of product in a seller's market.

However, he would not face the same sort of challenge for single-site laparoscopy.

Hence, Ren Qi felt that he could make this his ultimate aim.

Ren Qi gulped. He turned toward the operating table with the decision to focus on the surgery.

He had long since realized that the doctors in Yun Hua Hospital were not the same kind of people as he was.

*Shick*

The airtight access door slid open.

Ling Ran entered the operating theater with his hands clasped behind his back, and he totally ignored the young doctors around him. It was normal for him not to pay attention to those who were crowding around him.
