The Surgeon's Studio Chapter 678 - Don't Worry, I'll Do My Best

Chapter 678: Don’t Worry, I’ll Do My Best

“There are a lot of injured people and we’re short on staff,” Chief Jiang said. “Pick those who are in critical condition and send them to Chengdu.”

“Okay.” Zheng Ren nodded and began to change his clothes.

The corner of his left eye was bruised, and a small b.l.o.o.d.y scar had already formed a scab. This injury was suffered together with the fracture of his left rib. Zheng Ren did not care too much about it as long as it did not affect his line of sight during surgery.

He took off his clothes and the dirt fell off.

He had been rolling in the muddy water for the past few days, especially going up and down the mountain. He did not even notice that he was so dirty.

Chief Jiang was sad. He forced out a smile and asked, “May I know your name?”

“Just call me Little Zheng. This is Su Yun,” Zheng Ren said with a simple and honest smile.

“Why don’t you use purified water to rinse it? The conditions are limited. I’m really sorry to deal with it,” Chief Jiang said bitterly when he saw that Zheng Ren had taken off his clothes and that the mud had dried with his body temperature.

Beyond that, there were also countless bruises and scratches on his body.

He knew that it was tough ahead, so he thought that he was lucky to be able to come back alive. He did not expect that there would be so many injuries on his body/

Chief Jiang felt a little guilty. When he came back, he could not even take a hot bath. After the earthquake, the conditions were simple but he could not do anything about it.

Zheng Ren nodded.

It was indeed a little luxurious to bathe in purified water. However, in order to perform the surgery, he could only do so for now.

Since he had already come down from the frontline, he had to perform the operation as aseptically as possible.

Soon, Chief Jiang dragged over a box of purified water. He stepped on the stool and opened the bottles one by one. Then, he poured the purified water into a simple, high-hanging container.

At that moment, a voice came from the operating theater.

“Chief Jiang, it’s done. Next.”

Chief Jiang glanced at Zheng Ren apologetically.

“You go ahead. We’ll do it ourselves.” Zheng Ren smiled as the dry and hard soil on his face fell down.

“Right, Chief Jiang?” Zheng Ren suddenly thought of something. Seeing that Chief Jiang was about to leave, he immediately called out to him.

“Huh?”

“Bring two injured people up. We’ll be done soon.”

“Okay.” Chief Jiang turned around and jogged away.

“Boss, you go first and then I’ll clean up immediately after?” Su Yun asked.

“You go first. I want to smoke,” Zheng Ren said. “Where are the cigarettes?”

Su Yun took out a plastic bag that was closest to his body and carefully opened it.

The cigarettes in the plastic bag were all broken. He did not know how many times he had fallen that day.

Su Yun shook his head. Zheng Ren picked up half a cigarette b.u.t.t from inside, opened the window, and lit it.

He took a puff and took a break. He did not know when he would smoke again, Zheng Ren thought to himself.

Soon, Su Yun finished was.h.i.+ng up. There was nothing but rubbing the mud off his body.

It was a special feeling to change into an isolation suit naked. However, he couldn’t wear underpants that were full of mud and water, could he?

Zheng Ren began to pour water into the water storage container himself and then took a shower.

Like the rain that night, the cold, purified water fell on his body. Zheng Ren thought of the helicopter again, the roar of the propeller, and the bearded pilot.

He raised his hand subconsciously as he fist-pumped the air.

Don’t worry, I’ll do my best!

Zheng Ren then put down his hand and washed it carefully.

He did not feel refreshed. There was still a fundamental difference between this place and Xie Yiren’s bathtub.

As long as it was clean, it was fine. Zheng Ren heard the sound of a stretcher trolley outside. He picked up an isolation suit, wiped it briefly, put it on before walking out into the corridor.

The door of one of the operating theaters was closed, the other opened at a distance. Su Yun was probably there.

Zheng Ren walked over quickly and saw Su Yun disinfecting.

“Are there any radiographic films?” Zheng Ren asked when he saw Chief Jiang.

“Only X-ray films,” Chief Jiang said.

Zheng Ren was probably the same. In a first-cla.s.s hospital in a village, a full set of examinations could be considered as a complete set of examinations if the injured could go for a head CT, an abdominal ultrasound, and radiographic films of the other fracture locations.

He would just have to take a look.

The operating theater was very simple and crude. There was not even a radiographic film viewer.

Zheng Ren picked up the radiographic films and narrowed his eyes at the light.

“Doctor Zheng, I’ll be your a.s.sistant in a while,” Chief Jiang said.

“I don’t think there’s a need for that,” Zheng Ren looked at the radiographic films and answered casually.

“I’m afraid that you won’t be used to the machines here,” Chief Jiang said.

Actually, Zheng Ren also knew that this was a polite way of saying it. It was not like anyone could just come up and perform surgery right away.

It was not an appendectomy. Almost all the general surgery departments… It could even be said that almost all the surgeons were able to perform it.

Interventional surgery was a level three or four surgery. It looked like a minimally-invasive surgery but in fact, it was highly technical. At the very least, it could only be performed at the level of an attending physician.

Go ahead. It’ll be fine. One surgery would be enough to make Chief Jiang feel at ease.

On the other hand, Zheng Ren did not care. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the X-ray films.

“Boss, it’s time to wash your hands,” Su Yun called out.

“Okay.” Zheng Ren put down the radiographic films and asked, “Where do we wash our hands?”

“This side.” Chief Jiang called the circulating nurse over to help. He and Zheng Ren washed their hands together.

With the activation of the national machinery and the strength of the people, there was no shortage of supplies.

All the necessities were piled up like a mountain. It was just that they could not be transported up in a short period of time.

This was especially because of the location of a transit station like Pengxi Village. Although the conditions were still limited and they lacked professional talents, they did not lack living supplies.

They washed their hands, disinfected them, and put on their clothes.

Su Yun knew what Chief Jiang meant when he saw him go up. He curled his lips in disdain but did not say anything strange. He left the operating theater and sat in the operating room.

“Chief Jiang, I won’t stand on ceremony then,” Zheng Ren said directly when he saw that the airtight lead door close.

Chief Jiang was also a little confused when he saw that Zheng Ren was full of confidence.

What was such a young doctor doing in the interventional surgery department? Even though he was from the Imperial Capital Hospital, he was probably only a doctoral student at his age. Moreover, he probably had not graduated yet.

However, he was full of confidence. He did not know how the surgery would go but he was afraid that he would be too arrogant and too weak.

“You’re welcome. I’m doing circulatory interventional surgery. I’m not very familiar with the interventional embolization of pelvic fractures.” Chief Jiang did not argue and gave up the main surgeon position.

The patient’s blood pressure on the monitor was very low. The high pressure was only 60 millimeters of mercury.

Zheng Ren took a glance and saw that the ECG monitoring was still stable. He estimated that the patient would recover very quickly after the surgery.

As he thought about it, the needle pierced directly into the femoral artery that had shrunk into a white line.

The needle penetrated the skin, entered the outer membrane of the femoral artery, and lifted. The movements were so skillful that Chief Jiang’s eyelids twitched for no reason.

He knew what movements he was doing but there was something astounding about it.

It must be known that in patients with hemorrhagic shock, even a large artery like the femoral artery would turn into a white line due to ischemia. It was extremely difficult to pierce through.

Most interventional doctors would use an injector to draw back blood. As long as they saw that there was blood return, they would be able to confirm that the needle had gone in.

The entire process was very slow and very careful. They were afraid that the needle would pierce through the femoral artery if they used force to puncture it.

However, the other party…was very skilled. He did not hesitate at all and directly hit the nail on the head.

Chief Jiang sighed in his heart. He was really a doctor from the Imperial Capital Hospital. His level was unfathomable!
