The Gong family members signed the informed consent form and waited for a while before the anesthetist came over.
The anesthetist introduced himself when they met and asked, "Have you drunk alcohol before?"
"I drank some when I entertained the guests at home, but not much." When Gong Kaijie saw the doctor come over, he was finally relieved and asked, "Did Doctor Ling perform the surgery for me?"
"Yes." The anesthetist nodded and continued to ask, "How much did you drink?"
"I toasted them all. Two or three bottles of white wine, and more than three bottles of beer." Gong Kaijie recalled for a while and then let out a long sigh.
He was the family member of the bride's family, and the guests he entertained were the ones he was most familiar with. As the saying went, 'Inviting a few good friends, drinking wine, and laughing for a long time' … Who would have thought that he would encounter such an unreasonable disaster on his happiest day?
The anesthetist actually encountered many similar patients today. He made a record and said, "You drank a lot, but your face didn't turn red."
"I don't wash my face when I drink. Besides, it was two or three hours ago. "Gong Kaijie felt lost.
The anesthetist was a little envious of Gong Kaijie's physique. He nodded and said, "I also want to drink without blushing. Your alcohol tolerance is really good … I may have to insert a gastric tube later to guide the things in your stomach out. It's safer to give you anesthesia."
He did not need to explain reflux to the patient. He only said, "We will give you brachial plexus anesthesia later. This whole process is called brachial plexus block anesthesia. It is a very mature and commonly used anesthesia method. It mainly blocks the nerve conduction in your arm to make it easier for the doctor to perform the surgery. Also, during the surgery, we may use a little sedation to let you sleep. This way, you can relax a little, but it is not general anesthesia …"
Gong Kaijie and his wife nodded blankly.
"Have you induced vomiting?" the anesthetist asked again.
"You mean when you're drunk?"
"Something like that."
"I have vomited before."
"Well, we have to clear the things in your stomach later. We'll talk about the specifics during the surgery …" The anesthetist continued to take notes in his notebook so that he would not forget. At the same time, he handed over an informed consent form.
In the current hospital, anesthetists were probably the most lacking. It was normal for a doctor to be responsible for two or three times more anesthetics than a surgeon.
Anesthesia in the Emergency Department was a greater challenge for anesthetists. Food residue and alcohol were two of the most common problems.
Unlike elective surgeries, which required patients to fast on an empty stomach, patients who underwent emergency surgeries did not have any expectation that they might have to undergo surgery that day. Naturally, the stomachs of patients who underwent emergency surgeries were not empty.
On the other hand, the alcohol in the blood of the patients who had drunk alcohol was another form of interference to the anesthesia. Moreover, drunk patients always liked to run to the emergency room of the hospital …
Madam Gong was a little numb as she signed the informed consent form for anesthesia. She then asked, "Doctor Ling will be the one performing the surgery, right? Don't change the person in the middle."
"That's not up to me. I'm only in charge of anesthesia." The anesthetist did not want to take on this responsibility. With just a few sentences, he got rid of the responsibility.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is." Gong Kaijie was tormented for a while, but he still tried to persuade his family.
The anesthetist did not say anything else. He put away his notebook and went to look for the next patient.
There were too many patients in the Emergency Department today. For doctors who were always busy, it could be said that the pressure was huge.
After a while, another nurse came over and pushed the patient all over the place to take X-rays.
In the Emergency Medical Center, this was also the treatment that Ling Ran and Huo Congjun's patients received.
Many patients who went to the hospital would feel that the more senior a doctor was, the more amiable they would be. They would respect the patients, be serious about their work, and arrange the examination reasonably. The secret behind this was that senior doctors had abundant resources, and they naturally gave the patients a different feeling.
Ordinary attending physicians and associate chief physicians were already extremely tired. Most of them would not be able to treat their patients well even if they asked them to.
When it came to Ling Ran and Huo Congjun, the ordinary examinations and errands were all done by their subordinates. The daily care of the patients, being called around by the patients' family members, and other things that exhausted the patients' sympathy were also done by the resident doctors and housemen. Even in other hospitals, when the patients and their family members needed to run around with their legs broken, the interns or in-service training doctors in the group could do it. The patients and their family members would naturally feel comfortable, and when they looked at Huo Congjun again, they would think that he was handsome.
In contrast, for doctors in charge like resident doctors, if they did not have Doctor Ling or Department Director Huo's authority, they would have to smile when they went to the Medical Imaging Department. Even if they wanted to provide some extra services, they would not be able to.
After taking a big detour and waiting for almost half an hour, Gong Kaijie finally saw Ling Ran in the operating theater.
Gong Kaijie breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Doctor Ling, sorry for troubling you. It's mainly because this is the first time I've ever severed a finger."
After all, Gong Kaijie was a person from the literary world. He still had the ability to force a smile and tell jokes.
Ling Ran's expression could not be seen, but Lu Wenbin, who was big and bulky beside him, had a very stiff smile.
At this time, a new young nurse answered with a smile, "It's okay, it's my first time too."
The operating theater fell silent. Then, it was followed by wild laughter. A few of the in-service training doctors laughed especially loudly.
"Although it's an old joke, it's quite fun to listen to someone perform it live."
"I think it's even more fun, because it's said by the young lady."
"That's right, that's right. Ah, now that I think about it, it's really promising."
Gong Kaijie also found it quite interesting. He wanted to laugh, but he could not.
The new young nurse pursed her lips and smiled. When the others were almost done laughing, she said in a soft voice, "Actually, this is really my first time performing finger replantation surgery."
This time, there were more variations in her laughter.
Gong Kaijie finally could not laugh anymore. He looked at her with an expectant gaze and said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"
The young nurse smiled and did not answer.
Lu Wenbin coughed a few times and said to Gong Kaijie, "Don't let a young lady tease you. Today's surgery is mainly performed by Doctor Ling. When you're free later, when your finger is healed, you can use it to check on your phone. Doctor Ling will not lose out no matter who he performs finger replantation surgery on."
"I definitely believe that." Gong Kaijie had indeed consulted a lot of people and checked on a lot of websites. At this time, he also turned around and smiled at Ling Ran.
At this time, he heard Ling Ran say, "Let him sleep."
The anesthetist agreed. A few seconds later, Gong Kaijie felt his eyelids become heavy. Before he fell asleep, he heard someone shout from afar, "Turn on all the cameras and play it straight."
At that moment, Gong Kaijie remembered the movies about doctors and patients in hospitals that he had watched. He was so excited that he felt like his universe was about to explode … He instantly fainted.
