Xiang Xueming felt like he was in a dream as he stood in front of the operating table.
The patient was still breathing under the green and blue drapes. The anesthetist was real, and the numbers on the whole set of life-sustaining instruments at the side were also real …
"It's really a surgery." Xiang Xueming took a deep breath. Yes, it was the fresh smell of the operating theater. There was no stench of formalin at all.
"Hey, help me put up another footstool." Yu Yuan came in a little later. The operating table had already been unscrupulously raised to the point where she could not even put up a footstool.
Yu Yuan did not even blink. She had to put up a footstool when she performed surgery like a normal doctor. There was no difference even if she put up one or two.
Zheng Jun, who followed behind Yu Yuan, was still looking around the operating theater when Yu Yuan ordered him to quickly bend down to put up a footstool.
"You help too." Yu Yuan glanced at Guan Fei, and her tone was quick and straightforward.
Guan Fei blinked. She was a little unhappy. She was a girl.
"Hurry up." The interval between Yu Yuan's orders was very short, and she did not give Guan Fei time to think at all.
Yu Yuan was now a chief resident. Any doctor who held this position would experience a complete transformation. It was not because this position had a lot of power, but because this position had too many responsibilities.
It was not uncommon for a chief resident of any hospital to be in the hospital twenty-two hours a day, seven days a week. The extra two hours were said to be used for the chief resident to go home to shower and change his clothes, but in fact, it was just a gimmick. Chief residents of the Department of Surgery did not need to go home to shower at all. The bathroom in the Operating Area was very convenient, and they did not need to change their clothes. There were enough scrubs in the Operating Area, and they were all sterilized at high temperature.
Although the scrubs looked like Goku in Dragon Ball, no matter how badly you ruined your clothes, you could always change them.
In conclusion, a chief resident who worked normally in the hospital did not need to go home at all. Therefore, a chief resident lived in the hospital twenty-four hours a day.
To persist in such a position, they did not rely on the monthly salary of a few thousand RMB, but on the self-satisfaction of constantly moaning patients and healing the wounded and dying.
Moving from one operating theater to another was like moving from one battlefield to another. Regardless of whether they won or lost, once they were fully committed, a day would silently disappear.
And after staying in such a position for a long time, his orders would have an imposing manner and power.
Even though Yu Yuan was only 1.475 meters tall, she still had the dominance of a Highland Gorilla over a small macaque.
Guan Fei reluctantly followed Zheng Jun to move a footstool over and set it up for Yu Yuan.
"Go wash your hands," Yu Yuan ordered again in a loud voice.
Zheng Jun immediately turned around to wash his hands. Guan Fei hesitated for a moment before she stole a glance at Ling Ran. She then lowered her head and left the operating theater.
From the beginning to the end, Ling Ran's hands were crossed.
Even though his assistants had only worked with him for a short period of time, the number of surgeries they performed was quite a lot. Ling Ran no longer needed to worry about such minor management of the operating theater. His assistants automatically helped him out.
Ling Ran looked at his watch and said, "Let's start the surgery. Yu Yuan will be the first assistant, and Xiang Xueming will be the second assistant."
"Okay," Yu Yuan answered.
Xiang Xueming followed suit and shouted, "Okay."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiang Xueming realized that his voice was too loud and quickly covered his mouth.
"Go and wash your hands." When Yu Yuan saw Xiang Xueming's action, she chased him off the operating table without any explanation.
Xiang Xueming was stunned. He sighed helplessly and left the operating theater dejectedly.
The surgical experience of his dreams was not like this.
In fact, before he entered the operating theater for the first time, Xiang Xueming had looked up a lot of information. He also asked a few of his seniors who were already employed. He even secretly contacted them a few times so that he would not make low-level mistakes in the operating theater.
However, he still made a low-level mistake, and it was the cleanliness of the operating theater, which was the most taboo.
In the bathroom, Guan Fei and Zheng Jun asked Xiang Xueming a few questions before they hurried back.
Xiang Xueming knew that they were hoping to replace his position.
What made him feel helpless was that they might really succeed.
Xiang Xueming stood in the bathroom helplessly and washed his hands again. He felt sorry for himself. 'It's not easy for me to participate in a surgery, but I can only participate in half of it. I might not even be able to participate in half of it. Who am I to blame? Who am I to blame? '
After he washed his hands, Xiang Xueming looked at himself in the mirror and continuously encouraged himself. 'If you're ugly, you should study more. If you're ugly, you should study more …'
After he reconfirmed his physical characteristics, Xiang Xueming returned to the operating theater with a smile on his face.
"Then, let's start the surgery …" Ling Ran had his hands crossed. When he saw Xiang Xueming enter, he seized every second to speak.
Xiang Xueming was stunned on the spot. "We haven't started yet?"
"Hurry up and come over." Yu Yuan's tone was extremely strict. Her own surgical skills were average, so she paid special attention to the small details during the surgery.
Xiang Xueming nodded repeatedly and quickly stood in the position of the second assistant. Not far away from him were Guan Fei and Zheng Jun, who were watching the surgery.
"Achilles tendon repair technique," Ling Ran said again and extended his hand. "Scalpel."
Wang Jia, the scrub nurse for today, immediately slapped a scalpel into Ling Ran's hand with the right amount of force. Her posture was just right, and her timing was perfect.
Ling Ran slashed again, and a 15-centimeter-long incision appeared on the wall.
A small incision might be beautiful, but it might also be a grave.
Ever since Ling Ran began to delve into sports medicine, he increasingly disliked small incisions.
This was especially so when it came to surgeries like Achilles tendon repair. Nowadays, there were already quite mature minimally invasive techniques. If the patient did not even choose minimally invasive surgery and chose open surgery instead, then, the need for a small incision would be relatively clear.
At most, Ling Ran would use intradermal suture and heavy reinforcing suture to make up for it when he sutured.
Ling Ran had performed all these procedures more than two hundred times. Even Yu Yuan had participated in more than one hundred Achilles tendon repair surgeries. She was already very familiar with Ling Ran's operation. It was just that she could not do it herself.
Ling Ran skillfully grabbed the patient's Achilles tendon, separated it, and sutured it …
Xiang Xueming was dazzled by what he saw.
It was as if he was watching a brand new game or a set of beautiful martial arts moves. He seemed to know what he was watching, but at the same time, he did not know what he was watching. However, the players who manipulated the game or played the moves were top-notch experts, so Xiang Xueming did not know what was wrong.
There was only one voice in Xiang Xueming's head.
"Restrain it!"
He held the retractor with both hands and kept pulling and pulling …
It was not until ten minutes later that Xiang Xueming came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Ling Ran, his classmate.
Xiang Xueming could not tell how many times he had been so close to Ling Ran. It might be the third time, but it would not be more than the fourth time …
Even if they were classmates in the same specialization and year, Xiang Xueming usually did not have the chance to get close to Ling Ran.
Xiang Xueming suddenly realized that he might know a lot about Ling Ran, but he still did not understand Ling Ran.
Who would have thought that in just a short year, Ling Ran had already become a chief surgeon in the hospital?
Most importantly, he now had his own exclusive technique.
For a medical student, this was something that was extremely far away.
"The end is in the shape of a ponytail." Yu Yuan lowered her head to look and reminded him.
Ling Ran nodded and continued to perform the surgery without saying a word.
Yu Yuan knew what he meant. He wanted to perform the surgery according to the established plan.
This was the easiest part. Yu Yuan used the technique that she had practiced many times to try her best to cooperate with Ling Ran.
Of course, she took on very few duties as an assistant, and it was just the part that she could control to the best of her ability.
Xiang Xueming, on the other hand, became more and more rigid …
Simply retracting the retractor was too much of a test of a person's spirit, especially since Ling Ran did not like to chat.
"Yes, it's almost done." Ling Ran's words brought everyone back to the operating theater.
Xiang Xueming was even more spirited.
Ling Ran checked the wound twice and sutured it himself.
Once the heavy reinforcing suture was completed and the intradermal suture was halfway done, Ling Ran asked Xiang Xueming, "Do you want to suture?"
"Ah? Yes, I want to suture. "Xiang Xueming was extremely excited.
Ling Ran said, "I'll suture five stitches first. If you don't know how to perform intradermal suture, just use a normal interrupted suture."
As Ling Ran spoke, he gave up his position.
Xiang Xueming stood in Ling Ran's position with great care. He even asked someone to lower the operating table a little before he started suturing.
