Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor - Chapter 444

c444 It is difficult to get a bed

“Have you heard that the General Surgery Department of Shengli Hospital is using minimally invasive surgery to perform liver resection. In just one day, more than a dozen patients came to the hospital to prepare for surgery.”

“How could it be so few? My wife’s best friend’s sister is a nurse in their department. She happened to be at work that day. It is said that the beds were full in one day. Admissions and education were one after another. They were busy from morning to night and could not stop at all.”

“Is it so exaggerated?! It was full in one day!”

“Good technology is popular everywhere. I think the large number of patients this time is related to the publicity of the city TV station, especially Director Xiao’s last disease science popularization. To be honest, I really didn’t think that liver resection could be done minimally invasively.”

“I didn’t expect that the original incision of more than ten centimeters was replaced by a few holes. The operation was done quickly and well. Director Xiao’s operation can be called the first in the surgery department of Yingcheng Hospital.”

As the documentary promoted by the city TV station kept rolling, such discussions became more and more, but not more than the liver disease patients who came to Shengli Hospital for consultation at this moment.

Among them, there are patients who have just been diagnosed with liver nodules and are anxious, and there are also patients who have run all over the hospital, looking for the last glimmer of hope.

But no matter which one, everyone has only one idea at this moment, to come to the general surgery department to find Director Xiao for surgery.

“Gao Yang, you are responsible for establishing pneumoperitoneum and performing abdominal exploration. When I finish here, come and take over the stage.”

In the operating room, Xiao Chenguang, wearing a washcloth, was instructing Lin Gaoyang who was preparing for surgery on the stage.

Because there were many patients for surgery this time, Xiao Chenguang adopted the method of continuous surgery.

That is, when one operation was about to close the abdomen, the patient of another operation was called to the stage, saving the waiting time for the main surgeon to wait for anesthesia and awakening.

This is the same as the demonstration operation performed in the provincial capital before.

For this reason, Xiao Chenguang specially formed two sets of anesthesia and surgery personnel, waiting for patients to come on stage at any time.

“Boss, don’t worry, I am doing the surgery on the outer edge of the liver nodules here, which will be relatively easier. If there is any problem, I will tell you as soon as possible.”

Standing at the main surgeon’s position, Lin Gaoyang responded to Xiao Chenguang’s words while doing the operation with his hands.

Today is the first day of their routine liver resection.

On the first day, the number of patients who have been admitted to the hospital exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Now, due to the busy farming season, there are not too many patients admitted to the entire Shengli Hospital. Even in the busiest general surgery department, there are still more than 20 empty beds.

However, when the documentary on the city TV station was broadcast that day, the general surgery department was full of patients in just half a day.

All the patients who came to apply for hospitalization had only one request, which was to find Director Xiao for liver resection.

From this moment on, everyone understood why Director Xiao insisted on performing demonstration surgery even though the liver cancer grandfather was an emergency surgery with extremely high risks.

“Xiao Xiao, can you perform the surgery on so many patients?”

At this time, the person who was on stage with Xiao Chenguang was still Liu Tie, a senior anesthesiologist in the operating room.

This time, they performed surgery on a patient with mid-to-late stage liver cancer, whose tumor was more than 5cm.

Other places considered that the patient was too old and did not dare to perform surgery, so the patient found Xiao Chenguang to seek a glimmer of hope.

“Today’s surgery is okay, but as more and more patients come, we may need more staff.”

Facing the patients who have been anesthetized, Xiao Chenguang is disinfecting the skin and choosing the incision in an orderly manner.

“Xiao Xiao, you are completely popular. Even my phone has been blown up in the past two days. Many people are asking me about your surgery. It seems that they all want to come to the hospital for surgery.”

As Liu Tie said, he wrote the patient’s vital signs and ventilator parameters in the anesthesia record book.

“Just come. Your relationship will definitely be taken care of.”

Xiao Chenguang said half-jokingly.

At this time, he had already skillfully established the observation hole, and Gong Liang, who was standing beside him, assisted in inserting the laparoscope.

“Xiao Xiao, I am satisfied with your words.”

Liu Tie helped to turn on the laparoscopic imaging equipment, and then said: “I heard that the general surgery department is now full and it is difficult to find a bed. Even if you let me come, you have to have a place to stay.”

As soon as the words fell, the screen lit up, and the patient’s abdominal cavity was in full view.

After the negative pressure suction of the moderate amount of ascites, the picture on the screen began to change. Under the control of Xiao Chenguang, the camera quickly came to the lesion.

The yellowish hyperplastic tissue adhered to the liver area, tightly wrapping the huge tumor.

As soon as Xiao Chenguang stretched out his hand, the separation forceps and grasping forceps were handed to the palm of his hand.

Following the poke card, the long-handled instrument entered the patient’s body and began to separate the adhesion tissue.

“Brother Liu, these things you are worried about are not a problem. Just let them come. The bed problem will be solved tomorrow. Don’t worry, they will definitely be admitted to the upper hospital.”

“Really? Thank you so much. After the operation, I have to thank you with the patient.”

When Liu Tie heard this, a sense of joy came over his heart.

Originally, he was very moved by Xiao Chenguang’s “care”, but he didn’t expect that Xiao Chenguang would add a bed for him now.

After all, Xiao Chenguang is now famous, and the surgery is arranged every day. Adding a surgery means sacrificing some of his attention time.

This favor is not ordinary.

Seeing that Liu Tie seemed to have misunderstood, Xiao Chenguang did not explain too much.

After all, the result of discussing the department management system with Dean Li that day was satisfactory.

At most tomorrow, the personnel transfer and management of the department will have results.

For the next operation, he also called Xu Guoqiang in the provincial capital in advance. The latter said on the spot that he would put down all the work in his hands. As long as Xiao Chenguang said, he would rush to Yingcheng immediately to help him complete the number of operations this month.

For this, Xiao Chenguang specifically expressed his gratitude on the phone.

The operation is still going on.

At this time, the door of the operating room was opened, and the circulating nurse brought Lin Gaoyang’s news.

“Director Xiao, Dr. Lin has completed the abdominal exploration. He asked me to come and ask when you will go to the operation?”

“There is half an hour left, let him wait.”

Xiao Chenguang looked at the operation area on the screen with full concentration, his hands were as steady as Mount Tai, and he was constantly controlling the instruments to separate tissues.

Lin Gaoyang’s opening operation seemed to be faster than before.

Xiao Chenguang originally expected that Lin Gaoyang would ask the circulating nurse to come and notify him in the last ten minutes.

Unexpectedly, the whole operation was 20 minutes faster than before.

Even for the simplest laparoscopic surgery, this speed is elite in the provincial capital.

“Okay, Lin Gaoyang’s skills are also convincing in Shengli Hospital. Just like what Director Li talked about yesterday, I did not make a mistake in choosing him.”

Xiao Chenguang smiled unconsciously.

The faster Lin Gaoyang improved, the happier he was, which meant that he was one step closer to the goal of surgery in a month.
