"Hello, please give me your guidance." Hayato Ueda stood at the chief surgeon's position and bowed to Department Associate Physician Pan and the others. He was excited.
A surgery like flexor tendon suture was a rare major surgery for him.
When he thought of performing such surgeries every day in the future, Hayato Ueda almost wanted to sing.
"Then, I'll start." Hayato Ueda bowed seriously.
His expression and actions reminded Department Associate Physician Pan of the banquet last night. Hayato Ueda also said the same thing, "I'm starting."
While he was daydreaming, Hayato Ueda eagerly made a cut.
Incision.
Retractor.
Tendon peeling.
Suturing.
Suturing again …
Suturing everything …
When the surgery was over, Hayato Ueda felt so good that his liver trembled. He could not help but bow again and said, "Everyone, thank you, thank you. You cooperated very well."
"Professor Ueda also did very well." Department Associate Physician Pan raised his head and looked at the time. A finger had been sutured for four and a half hours. For a doctor who had just started using the M-Tang technique, it was a pretty good result.
Su Jiafu the anesthetist let out a big yawn.
Today, he was performing anesthesia for a medical doctor from Japan. To gain face for Yun Hua Hospital, China's anesthetists, and the Chinese people, he was vigilant throughout the entire process. He stared at the monitor without blinking and adjusted the dosage of drugs at any time. He was so tired that he was about to burst out.
Unfortunately, the surgery took a long time.
It was as if the principal suddenly went crazy and gave a lecture to the students. The students had no choice but to focus and listen to the lecture. They only wanted to pretend for dozens of minutes, but who would have thought that the principal would give three lectures in a row …
Su Jiafu yawned again. There were many anesthetists who were on duty twenty-four hours a day, but those who were awake twenty-four hours a day … were definitely on drugs.
"Doctor Su, I've troubled you today." Professor Ueda thanked one medical staff after another. When it came to the anesthetist, he was still meticulous.
Su Jiafu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's no trouble. It's just my job."
"Thank you very much for your recognition, Doctor Su." Hayato Ueda bowed again and said, "The surgery was originally planned to last four hours, but I didn't expect it to be delayed by half an hour. I'm sorry. I'll try my best to ensure the time in the future."
Su Jiafu looked at Department Associate Director Pan with a strange expression.
The latter chuckled a few times and said, "The anesthetists in Japan are very fierce, and they're especially harsh on newcomers. He's afraid that you'll scold him."
Su Jiafu let out an "Oh …" before asking again, "Can I scold him?"
Department Associate Director Pan was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. He pointed at Su Jiafu and said, "Young people like you, we don't even understand your humor anymore."
Su Jiafu pursed his lips. He had expected the longest surgery to last for three hours. Who would have thought that the surgery would last for four and a half hours in the end? Because of this, his plan was disrupted. He could really curse people.
However, for the sake of his Japanese friends, Su Jiafu could only respond with a smile.
"Doctor Su, can I count on you for the next surgery as well?" Hayato Ueda had the spirit of not bothering two people for the same thing, so he bowed slightly again.
"Oh …" Su Jiafu only muttered to himself for two seconds before sighing, "Alright."
Of course, he liked Ling Ran's surgeries more. Sometimes, he could perform two surgeries in an hour, and he could get a few tens of RMB for each surgery. If he performed ten surgeries a day … The Department of Anesthesiology would all be fighting to perform Ling Ran's surgeries.
But no matter what, four and a half hours was indeed too long.
Su Jiafu looked at his watch and felt a little helpless.
"Alright, I'm going to perform surgeries next." Department Associate Director Pan called the interpreter hired by the hospital over and said, "We'll be performing surgeries for a longer period of time today. I hope we won't run out of patients who need flexor tendon sutures."
"Hah … cough, cough, cough, cough, cough …" Su Jiafu could not help but cough violently.
The scrub nurse who was present looked indignant. She whispered so softly that everyone could hear, "He's far worse than Doctor Ling."
Department Associate Director Pan's gaze immediately drifted over.
The nurse below the operating table puffed out her chest and resolutely stood together with the scrub nurse.
If resident doctors were inferior to dogs, then associate chief physicians would have a psychological advantage when they faced young nurses.
However, when the young nurses gathered together, any doctor would have to stay away from them.
Department Associate Director Pan could only snort softly, step open the airtight access door, and leave. He wanted to use surgeries to speak.
The next day …
Pan Hua and Hayato Ueda, who had been performing surgeries crazily for the whole night, walked out of the operating theater with dark circles under their eyes. They swayed as they ate breakfast, and when they returned to the department, they looked at each other and smiled.
"I performed four surgeries yesterday. It was really satisfying." Hayato Ueda shouted in a Japanese tone, and it sounded like an anime. It attracted the attention of many people in the office.
Department Associate Director Pan was much calmer. He said softly in Japanese, "I only performed five surgeries. I've been away from the country for too long, and I'm not very familiar with the feeling of performing surgeries continuously."
Hayato Ueda touched his head and laughed. "I didn't expect the feeling of performing surgeries continuously to be so good. Although my calf is a little sore, it's really comfortable …"
"Oh, Old Pan, you're here. Did the surgeries last night go smoothly?" Department Director Jin Xi walked into the office with the gait of a leader.
The young doctors nodded one after another to greet him, and some even showed a special smile.
Pan Hua stood up and said, "It went very smoothly. Professor Ueda did not encounter any unexpected situations during his surgeries."
"Yes, it's good that it went smoothly." Department Director Jin Xi nodded and said, "Then, let's carry on as usual today."
"Oh, alright." Pan Hua nodded out of habit, but he immediately froze. "As usual?"
"Department Associate Director Pan, I've placed the assignment form on the table for you," a resident doctor said in a low voice.
Hayato Ueda waited for the interpreter to explain it to him, and he also came to a realization. "Um, what does' as usual today 'mean?"
"Ward rounds, and then surgeries." Pan Hua picked up the assignment form from the table with a blank expression. He looked at it and said, "I've arranged three surgeries for you, and I also have three surgeries …"
"No … Didn't we just finish the surgeries last night?" Hayato Ueda was really trembling, and he muttered in Japanese in a low voice.
Pan Hua looked at him, and then at the young resident doctor.
The young resident doctor looked back at Pan Hua, puzzled.
Pan Hua suddenly came to a realization and said in Japanese, "They don't know that we performed surgeries the entire night."
