Department Director Kang looked at Ling Ran's position, then at Zuo Cidian. He signaled with his eyes, 'Where's the retractor? This isn't the position to retract the retractor, right? '
Zuo Cidian's coarse face showed his original simplicity, as if he did not understand Department Director Kang's signal at all.
Department Director Kang coughed loudly and signaled to Zuo Cidian with his eyes again, 'You said that Ling Ran was willing to retract the retractor, so I let you enter the operating theater. If you go back on your word, I'll, I'll …'
Department Director Kang looked at Ling Ran again, and he only felt pressured.
For a moment, Department Director Kang was even a little out of character. 'He's such a young doctor, and he's also very handsome, why … why does he make people not dare to offend him?'
In fact, as the department director of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department Director Kang was not afraid of offending any doctor in the hospital. Theoretically, he could even forcefully go against the leaders of the hospital, just like Huo Congjun. This was the natural socialist welfare of a technical position.
But if Department Director Kang really did this …
Department Director Kang's eyes could not help but drift to his attending physician, Li Liang.
Li Liang looked at Department Director Kang pitifully, as if he hoped that Department Director Kang would uphold justice, and his easily bullied look made Department Director Kang easily understand the situation.
"Doctor Li, you often perform bypass surgeries, and you're familiar with the procedure. I'll let you retract the retractor. Perform well." Department Director Kang gave him a comforting smile, just like the smile he usually gave when he was giving out bonuses and was short of something.
Li Liang was dumbfounded. 'I'm familiar with the procedure, and I'll retract the retractor? Is this … something a doctor should say? It's fine if he says dirty jokes at the operating table, but why is he being so illogical?
Besides, what's so good about retracting the retractor?
All medical interns can retract the retractor. Isn't it okay to retract the retractor with hands?
Why did you ask Ling Ran to retract the retractor for me? Do you know how much I looked forward to it last night?
Li Liang was full of anger. He exhaled heavily and said, "Okay, department director."
Department Director Kang nodded. "Then let's start. Doctor Ling, follow my rhythm. "
He was not worried that Ling Ran did not know how to do it or could not cooperate.
Forget about the fact that Ling Ran knew how to perform anal cavity surgery, even if he did not know how to perform it, doctors who could handle liver surgeries were more than capable of being the first assistant.
Ling Ran himself was not worried at all. He had now obtained Perfect Level Coronary Artery Bypass Transplantation. In terms of skills, he would definitely beat Department Director Kang. This was not confidence, but logic. If Department Director Kang's coronary artery bypass grafting technique could reach Perfect Level, in fact, he did not even need to reach Perfect Level. Even if he reached Master Level, he would definitely be able to do well.
When it came to surgical techniques, they were at a similar level. However, once they were at the peak, they would see a completely different world.
No matter how black-hearted the hospital and its leaders were, they would still try their best to be lenient when they faced doctors with high skills. Needless to say, the person who was saved would really survive.
Unfortunately, a young genius like Department Director Kang could only live until he was about thirty years old. He even managed to become a department director because of his talent. After that, he became a department director.
The circulating nurse was the first to start counting.
Han Wei, who was standing in the corner, looked sideways and saw a row of unfolded silver-white forceps on a green drape. It made people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it.
"Let's disinfect first, then make the incision." Department Director Kang communicated before the surgery.
Even if he knew that Ling Ran's skills were good, he still wanted to confirm with Ling Ran before the surgery. What if Ling Ran was in a bad mood today and had a bad temper? What if Ling Ran was in a good mood today and wanted to snatch the chief surgeon's position?
Department Director Kang's eyes were fixed on Ling Ran.
Ling Ran leisurely asked for gauze that was soaked in disinfectant. He pressed the drape with one hand and started to brush the patient's chest with the other.
"I suddenly want to be operated on by Doctor Ling." The surgical nurse was experienced and knowledgeable. She did not even need the chief surgeon to guide her. She started to make a joke.
The circulating nurse next to her immediately cooperated with her. She smiled coquettishly and said, "I've never seen Doctor Ling perform an obstetrics and gynecology surgery. I think it's more interesting."
"Obstetrics and gynecology is interesting?" The surgical nurse clicked her tongue.
Department Director Kang rolled his eyes and decided to join in. He said, "Listening to you, it reminds me of a time when I went to a KTV and asked two princesses to accompany me. In the end, before I could do anything, they —"
"Department Director Kang, it's not easy for Doctor Ling to come to the operating theater of the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. It's not good for you to tell dirty jokes." The young nurse had obviously heard Department Director Kang's dirty joke before. She immediately interrupted him.
Department Director Kang felt helpless. "You guys only allow the officials to do whatever they want, but not the common people."
"Common people who drink with prostitutes? I've never heard of it." The young nurse did not give in at all.
Department Director Kang coughed a few times and asked for a scalpel. He said, "Pay attention to the chief surgeon's mood."
The nurses giggled coquettishly, and their gazes were that of married women.
Department Director Kang pretended that he had the situation under control. He looked at Ling Ran and said with a smile, "Doctor Ling, do you want to make an incision?"
Compared to comforting abdominal closure, the reward of making an incision was higher. Usually, only young doctors who were successful in their studies could get this honor.
Of course, it was considered polite to make an incision for a doctor from another department who was skilled like Ling Ran.
Ling Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "There's no need for that. I'll be your assistant."
The risk of cardiovascular surgery was far greater than that of laparotomy. Even if Ling Ran obtained the skill, he still had to give it a try.
Department Director Kang only thought that Ling Ran had a good attitude. He pursed his lips into a smile, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He drew a line and asked for an electric cutter to separate the subcutaneous tissue layer by layer.
"Electric saw." Department Director Kang asked for a new piece of equipment when he reached the sternum.
The need to use an electric saw was the most obvious difference between the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department and the General Surgery Department.
No matter how fat a patient's stomach was, a scalpel was enough for laparotomy. An electric saw would make a lot more noise. For the patient and his family, this kind of surgery was naturally more terrifying.
The saw and the sternum made a light sound as it rubbed against each other, and it gave off a very simple feeling.
Attending Physician Li Liang glanced at Ling Ran. When he saw Ling Ran's calm and handsome face, he could not help but pout. He turned to the side and took out the sternum spreader to help fix it.
Ling Ran's expression was calm as he cooperated.
Right now, he was more focused on the process of thoracotomy and the atmosphere.
For a surgery, when the chief surgeon chatted, when the chief surgeon told dirty jokes, and when the chief surgeon did not speak, it reflected a different rhythm and state.
Ling Ran already had the skills, and now he was more inclined to understand the situation in the field.
For now, everything seemed to be leisurely and relaxed.
"Endotherm knife." Department Director Kang extended his hand and asked for an electric cutter again. He habitually said, "I'm ready to cut the pericardium."
The pericardium was a membrane sac that covered the surface of the heart. From here, it was officially in contact with the heart.
Ling Ran had previously performed the Atrial Deficiency Surgery, so he was very familiar with it. Now, he was at ease as the first assistant.
With Ling Ran's cooperation, Department Director Kang's operation became smoother, and his mood gradually became higher.
At this time, Department Director Kang could not help but ask, "Doctor Ling, do you want to remove the bridge?"
Removing the bridge meant cutting off the blood vessels used for the bypass. This step was both difficult and easy, and Department Director Kang had already expected Ling Ran to refuse.
At this time, Ling Ran immediately answered, "No problem, I'll do it."
Department Director Kang was stunned for a moment. He hummed in acknowledgment and said, "Okay, then. Remove the great saphenous vein. It's also within the range that Doctor Ling is familiar with."
The great saphenous vein was from the dorsal vein of the foot to the femoral vein, and part of it was also involved in the Achilles tendon repair surgery.
Even though Department Director Kang said so, he did not think that Ling Ran would be able to do it smoothly. After all, there were still quite a lot of similarities and differences between cutting off the transplanted blood vessels and suturing blood vessels. People who did it for the first time would always encounter a lot of problems.
With this thought in mind, Department Director Kang even deliberately slowed down so that Ling Ran would not be delayed.
