The spacious dissection laboratory was brightly lit.
Three rows of six temperature-controlled refrigerated dissection tables were placed in the middle, all made of stainless steel. A shadowless lamp and a camera hung from the ceiling above each dissection table. On the wall behind the laboratory hung a banner with white text on a blue background: "Great sacrifice is fearless, great love is silent. Grateful tribute to the cadaver."
On one of the dissection tables, a cadaver was placed. Its head was covered with a wet cloth soaked in formalin.
The body was very complete, but the left upper limb was deformed and twisted.
Professor Gu and his six students stood next to the dissection table and observed a moment of silence for the cadaver.
All of them wore white coats, masks, and gloves.
Previously, Gu Jun and the other three had just moved the cadaver on a trolley. Before the body was placed on the dissection table, Xu Hai reported the abnormal situation in the storage room to Professor Gu. Professor Gu furrowed his brows as he listened. He did not understand the situation, but what puzzled him even more was the left upper limb of the corpse.
It was a kind of abnormality that even he could not tell what it was.
After the moment of silence, Professor Gu's expression was still serious. He said to the students, "You should be able to guess that this competition is not simple. I hope that you can all do your best in this training and improve yourselves. Do not let down the dead. "
Everyone nodded their heads with a solemn expression. Gu Jun was the same. He would never act frivolously in the human dissection room.
"Frankly speaking." Professor Gu looked at the body on the dissection table. "I have no clue what the condition of the cadaver's left upper limb is. Whether this is a congenital deformity or some kind of acquired deformity, let's dissect it first. You all have to pay attention to the possible clinical links. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to speak up. "
Even Professor Gu did not understand? Xu Hai looked at Zhang Haoran, and Zhang Haoran looked at He Yuhan. The atmosphere in the laboratory became more and more unnatural.
Medical dogs like them were professionally trained and had seen many scenes of rotten skin and flesh. Usually, when performing human dissections, as long as the face of the body was covered with a cloth, there would be no sense of fear. Only when looking directly at the face of the body or dissecting the face would they feel nervous.
This was the human fear mechanism. A hand and a large intestine were just dead things, but a face had a soul.
But now, the pressure that the deformed left hand exerted on them was greater than ever before.
He Yuhan couldn't help but take a deep breath. However, she only smelled an even stronger odor, and her heart trembled.
Professor Gu glanced around. Seeing the students in such a state, his heart sank a little. Think about it, the training resources for this competition were already on this level of the human body. When it came to the real competition, what would be dissected? Whether these young people could hold their ground was a problem.
Ruoxiang and Zixuan were relatively calm … Gu Jun?
At this time, Professor Gu noticed that Gu Jun's demeanor did not seem to have changed. He really did not know if he was calm or scared.
"Let's first dissect the dorsal carpal area of the left upper limb and the back of the hand." Professor Gu had the intention to train them. Whatever they were afraid of, he would give them.
As a doctor, he had to face too many unexpected situations. He could not always be prepared before he went into battle.
"Ah!" Xu Hai and He Yuhan suddenly exclaimed. Even Wang Ruoxiang was startled. Cai Zixuan finally became nervous. "Teacher, we don't even need to warm it up?"
Usually, there would be some preparation before the dissection class. The teacher would talk about the relevant anatomical knowledge and use the teaching screen to play the relevant diagrams and operation videos. This would allow the students to understand the key points, difficulties, and sequence of the dissection content so that they would know what to do.
Although there was no atlas of this deformed left hand for them to see, it was good to dissect other parts first to warm up.
"Then do a set of broadcast gymnastics first," Professor Gu replied abruptly.
This was naturally a cold joke, but everyone quickly did not dare to say anything, for fear that they would really have to do broadcast gymnastics in the dissection room.
However, after Professor Gu's cold reply, the pressure on them eased a lot. First, they stretched their waists, twisted their necks, and moved their muscles and bones. Because the regular duration of each anatomy class was about three hours, they had to stand by the dissection table, dissect, and observe. Sometimes, they really needed to do broadcast gymnastics.
The dorsal area of the wrist and the back of the hand were not big, so one or two people would be enough. Who would go first?
Professor Gu was clear, and so was everyone else. In this laboratory, their anatomical strength was ranked.
Wang Ruoxiang was sensitive and her technique was exquisite, but her weakness was the innate disadvantage of a female, which was strength. Some anatomical operations required a lot of strength to complete, and standing there for a few hours was quite exhausting. These were the reasons that limited the development of female medical students to the surgical table.
Therefore, overall, she and Zhang Haoran were tied for first place. Zhang Haoran's major was basic medicine, and he had more contact with anatomy than clinical medicine.
After him, it was Xu Hai, Cai Zixuan, and He Yuhan. As for Gu Jun, he used to be an ordinary member. They felt that he might be a little stronger than He Yuhan from pharmacy, but he might also be the weakest.
"Ruoxiang, Haoran, you two will be the chief surgeon first." Professor Gu made the decision. "The others will assist from the side."
Cai Zixuan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Ruoxiang and Zhang Haoran stepped forward while Gu Jun watched.
The scalpel, forceps, dissecting scissors, and other instruments had long been prepared and placed on the dissection table.
The shadowless lamp above was lit, and the camera was also turned on, all aimed at the corpse on the table.
Wang Ruoxiang took out a scalpel from the instrument tray. It was standard grade, made of stainless steel, and the blade was bright silver. The touch of the scalpel made the nerves in her fingers jump slightly. She recalled the knowledge in the anatomy books, recalling the feeling of cutting the skin...
Next to her, Zhang Haoran picked up the dissecting forceps and used the tip of the forceps to make a horizontal incision mark on the back of the wrist of the deformed upper limb, and then made an incision mark on the back of the thumb. The hand had been twisted into an indescribable shape. He had just made a line based on his feelings.
At this moment, everyone's heart rate was accelerating, including Professor Gu's.
Wang Ruoxiang concentrated all her attention and firmly held the scalpel with a bow-holding gesture. Following the horizontal incision mark on the back of the wrist, the tip of the scalpel pierced into the skin at a right angle...
As soon as it pierced in, she suddenly felt bewildered. The skin on the back of the human hand was very thin. Usually, when the tip of the scalpel slightly pierced in, the resistance would suddenly decrease. This was the feeling of the tip of the scalpel reaching the superficial fascia. At this time, the scalpel should be tilted at a 45-degree angle and then cut the skin.
But now, the tip of the scalpel had already pierced in a lot, and there was still no such feeling...
Wang Ruoxiang immediately stopped and frowned. She said to the people around her, "I don't feel the superficial fascia here."
Huh? Xu Hai and the others could not react instantly because the basic structure of the human body was the skin, the superficial fascia, and the deep fascia...
"Just use the same depth and continue to cut!" Professor Gu said decisively.
Wang Ruoxiang nodded and held the scalpel firmly again. She carefully made an incision along the line at a 45-degree angle. All of a sudden, a strange dark liquid gushed out, almost splashing on her and Zhang Haoran's faces.
"Be careful!" Gu Jun, who had been paying attention to every situation, could not help but exclaim. He wanted to pull Wang Ruoxiang away.
But nothing happened. Instead, everyone was shocked by him. Professor Gu reprimanded helplessly, "Don't be so surprised! You're an amateur. "
"I'm sorry..." Gu Jun continued to watch in silence. Some dangers had already befallen you without you even knowing it. Hopefully, this black liquid was not one of them.
But since this was arranged by the country, it should have been determined that there was no danger...
There was still fluid flowing out of the incision. Everyone waited to hear Professor Gu's judgment because a normal corpse would not have such a large amount of subcutaneous fluid.
"This may be a subcutaneous cyst. Possible." Professor Gu's face appeared particularly old at this moment. This left hand was subverting his knowledge bit by bit. "Continue. There is fluid under the skin, so the skin will move more. You guys pay attention to the incision."
Wang Ruoxiang composed herself. Together with Zhang Haoran, she continued to flip open the skin on the back of the hand and fingers before peeling it off... As for the depth of the incision, there was no way to determine whether the superficial fascia and other subcutaneous tissues were damaged. The black fluid continued to flow.
Their eyes were sore and painful from the smell of formalin, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Because of doubts, unfamiliarity, and the unknown, their hearts gradually tightened.
Zhang Haoran felt his hot breath stuffy inside the mask. It was very uncomfortable, and he was almost out of breath. His hands began to tremble...
Wang Ruoxiang's hands had not yet trembled, but her forehead was covered with fine sweat. She was also on the verge of making a mistake...
How could Cai Zixuan and Xu Hai, who were watching from the side, dare to make fun of the two? Their hands were trembling just by watching from the side. If they were to go up and take the knife, they would definitely perform even worse.
After a long time, the two finally finished peeling off the skin on the back of the hand.
"Ruoxiang, Haoran, you guys can do it." Professor Gu, of course, could see that they were already an arrow at the end of its flight. He encouraged them, "You guys did well." In the face of such a situation, the performance of the two was still satisfactory. Professor Gu said again, "Gu Jun, you continue to operate. Calm down with or without the superficial fascia."
In fact, Professor Gu did not have any expectations for Gu Jun this time. A normal human body was still fine, but if it was a deformed human body, even Ruoxiang and Haoran could only perform like this. What could Gu Jun do? He would let this kid see the gap between him and the top students. He hoped that he would learn from his shame and become courageous.
Let Gu Jun do it? Everyone suddenly looked at Gu Jun in unison, feeling the malice of Professor Gu...
Cai Zixuan really sympathized with him. Tycoon Jun had taken a few months off from school. When was the last time he dissected someone? Now he was being forced to do something beyond his capabilities.
Wang Ruoxiang exhaled, and the mask on her face rose and fell. It was as if she had just fought a war. She handed the scalpel in her hand to Gu Jun. "The fluid is very slippery. Be careful, and do your best."
Gu Jun took the scalpel and nodded. "Leave it to me."
The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone collectively had question marks on their faces...
Leave it to you? You? You?
