"Two appendices?" The patient's family looked at Zuo Cidian doubtfully.
"Two appendices?" Yu Yuan looked at Zuo Cidian expectantly.
Zuo Cidian pushed Yu Yuan away with his hand and nodded at the patient's parents. "It's indeed rare, but the patient does have two appendices. We've already removed one appendix, and we're now dealing with the second appendix. Please sign an informed consent form. "
After he finished speaking, a doctor from Taiwu Central Hospital presented the informed consent form. It was not necessary, but to be on the safe side, the hospital still felt that the more they signed, the safer they would be.
The patient's family did not have any objections. They roughly read the consent form and signed it. They asked, "How can a person have two appendices?"
"The probability is very low, but your son might have one. I'll inform you when there's confirmed news later. " The person who spoke was the attending physician of the two patients. He spoke very cautiously. He put away the informed consent form and said, "You should wait outside for a while. We'll talk about it in detail after the surgery is completed."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, doctor." The two family members thanked him repeatedly and watched the two return to the operating theater.
Yu Yuan also followed them in.
"Are there really two appendices?" Yu Yuan asked as she walked. She was in a hurry.
"It should be two." Zuo Cidian strolled leisurely. He had endured for a long time, and he was sleepy and tired at that moment. Forget that the patient only had two appendices, even if he had two penises, he would not be too excited.
Yu Yuan was actually quite tired, but she had an advantage. She could find a place to sleep at any time. Although her sleep was not very good and she often had to worry about being trampled on, in general, she was still more energetic than others. At this moment, when she encountered something she was interested in, her excitement was ignited, and she was full of energy.
"If I had known, I would have gone for this surgery," Yu Yuan muttered and said, "The incidence of double appendices should be very low."
"The incidence is between four to nine out of ten thousand cases," the attending physician of Taiwu Central Hospital, who was walking at the same time, interrupted.
Yu Yuan could not help but look at him.
"When they said that, I looked it up. I could have written a case report.
It's a waste for Doctor Ling, "the attending physician said regretfully.
"I'll write a case report. After the article is published, I'll send you an email." Yu Yuan smiled. Since this kind of article fell into Ling Ran's hands, it was the same as falling into her hands.
While talking, the three of them entered the operating theater.
Ling Ran's back was as graceful as a lightning dragon. There were three to five pale-faced doctors standing next to him, and they were discussing the story of appendicitis with great interest.
"Doctor Ling, I've made it clear to the patient's family," Zuo Cidian reported and raised his head to look at the screen.
At this time, a swollen appendix came into view.
Zuo Cidian could not help but look at the pathological specimen displayed next to him. His other appendix, which looked like his biological brother, seemed to be glowing …
"This child is so rare." Yu Yuan climbed up the stool and looked up. Her face was also glowing.
"It was almost a medical accident. Fortunately, it was discovered in time." Zuo Cidian was filled with emotion.
Usually, patients with appendicitis would come for treatment only when they felt pain. For patients with only one appendix, once a surgery was completed, the abdominal pain should be over. However, for patients with two appendices, if only one appendix was removed during the surgery, the abdominal pain would definitely erupt within a very short period of time. If another appendix was removed because of this, the patient's family would definitely question it.
Liang Xue was also filled with emotions. Today, the surgery was performed by a freelance surgeon, which meant that Ling Ran was the only one who performed the surgery. If it was another doctor, there was a 70% to 80% chance that the second appendix would not be discovered. The probability of four out of one hundred thousand could be imagined. A normal doctor would never encounter such a case in their lifetime, and it was even more impossible for them to pay special attention to this kind of thing.
And if there was a problem because of this, the freelance surgeon would become very troublesome.
"Don't use the da Vinci robot for appendectomy in the future." Liang Xue quickly made a decision that did not require any reasoning.
His subordinates agreed without any objections. After all, there were very few people who were willing to use the da Vinci robot for appendectomy. If it were not for the sake of practice, doctors would not be interested in appendectomy. Except for He Yuan, who liked to play hide-and-seek.
"It's almost done. Let's suture it." Ling Ran took out the appendix completely. He waited for the nurse in the operating theater next door to put the two appendices side by side before he stood up.
Ma Yanlin accepted the task of abdominal closure, and he cherished it very much.
There were fewer opportunities for the da Vinci robot to perform surgeries compared to normal surgeries. Ma Yanlin had now given up on the wildest fantasy in his heart — to teach Ling Ran how to perform surgeries. Aside from this thought, he also looked forward to surpassing other doctors of the same level.
Based on the current situation, if he could perform a little more surgeries, it would greatly increase his chances of surpassing other doctors.
Even if he returned to Yun Hua Hospital and only had one da Vinci robot, the opportunities for other junior doctors to obtain surgeries were very limited. If he could ensure that he was on duty 24/7, he might be able to anger half of his competitors to death before he suffered a sudden death.
"Zuo Cidian, buy another da Vinci robot." Ling Ran made his decision after he did two stretches and massaged his shoulders and neck.
Ma Yanlin, who was secretly delighted because he was the only candidate, could not help but be stunned. If it were not because of his conditioned reflexes from performing surgeries all year round, the suture would have been sent flying.
Zuo Cidian naturally agreed and said, "Then, I'll call Department Director Huo."
"Okay, let me know if you need anything." Ling Ran also knew that buying a da Vinci robot required a long process.
Zuo Cidian said, "I'll organize the cases here into a report and bring a few surgery videos back for Department Director Huo to watch."
"Sure. Buy it as soon as possible. "
"Okay." Zuo Cidian's tone was still quite confident. For units like hospitals, it was not a problem to buy expensive equipment and instruments. The key was the effect and the profit. For example, proton knives, which were the most expensive among hospital equipment, cost billions of RMB for basic construction and equipment. The annual maintenance and manpower also cost hundreds of millions of RMB. But because of the obvious effect, many hospitals applied for it.
Hospitals were most afraid of investments that could not produce benefits. Earning money was secondary. If it could not train the team and could not be used for scientific research, then it would be a complete scam. Even if the cost was only one or two million RMB, most hospitals were not willing to invest, such as the cafeteria …
The doctors from Taiwu Central Hospital looked at Ling Ran with complicated expressions. After spending two days with him, although Ling Ran did not talk much, everyone could see how he did things. When a doctor reached this level, there was naturally no need for him to lie anymore.
Because of this, Ling Ran's act of buying da Vinci the moment he said he wanted to buy a da Vinci robot was even more enviable.
The doctors from the General Surgery Department of Taiwu Central Hospital knew very well that it was not easy to get the robots in their department. When they saw that other people could easily get them, they could not help but feel agitated.
"Department Director Liang, there's only one patient left." Zuo Cidian waited for him to finish lecturing before he quietly went forward and gave him another reminder.
"Well …" Liang Xue was also very frustrated. He did not dare to say much. He could only agree to it while thinking about how to solve it. At the same time, he smiled bitterly. It was not easy to get a signature.
"This …" Liang Xue's head was full of questions and he didn't dare to say more. He could only agree while thinking about how to solve it. At the same time, he smiled bitterly to himself. Things like signatures were never easy to get.
