The surgery lasted for five hours before it ended.
The second and third assistants who participated in the surgery were changed, and even the audience changed more than once.
However, Ling Ran, the chief surgeon, and He Yuanzheng, the first assistant, persevered and did not step down from the stage.
A surgery that lasted for five hours was very tiring, but it was completed successfully. That kind of exhilaration was enough to keep a doctor standing.
Usually, it was common for surgeons to perform three surgeries in a row. If they calculated the total time, they could usually make up to four to five hours.
He Yuanzheng let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "They say that planting watermelons is very hard. Let them come over and try to cut the watermelon. Young Su, how much blood was lost during the surgery? "
He Yuanzheng remembered the anesthetist that Ling Ran often used, even though he was just a resident doctor.
"Three hundred and fifty ounces of blood loss." When Su Jiafu reported the number, he was even more excited than Ling Ran and He Yuanzheng.
He was the main anesthetist today.
Logically speaking, the Department of Anesthesiology should send an assistant lecturer or attending physician to perform such a major surgery. Su Jiafu could be considered lucky to have an assistant anesthetist.
However, Ling Ran was used to Su Jiafu. He communicated with Su Jiafu during the surgery. As time went by, the attending physicians and assistant lecturers of the Department of Anesthesiology did not want to be disliked.
There were very few people in the Department of Anesthesiology, and it was normal for them to be absent.
Su Jiafu felt the best. It was as if he had done something that only senior attending physicians could do three years in advance. His experience also increased rapidly.
"A tumor with a diameter of six inches and a weight of more than ten pounds. Three hundred and fifty ounces of blood loss. No need for blood transfusion. Congratulations, Doctor Ling." He Yuanzheng suppressed the waves in his heart and complimented Ling Ran.
No matter how much He Yuanzheng thought about it, he had to admit that it was fortunate that Ling Ran was the one who took over the huge liver tumor today. Otherwise, if He Yuanzheng were to do it, there was a high chance that he would have failed.
He Yuanzheng definitely did not want to fail a major surgery in front of so many doctors.
Correspondingly, when he saw Ling Ran, who was young and inexperienced, complete the surgery under such pressure, He Yuanzheng was slightly impressed.
It was just a slight admiration.
It was just like the ratio of the beef tenderloin in the restaurant.
"Doctor Ling managed to treat tumors that invaded the liver, diaphragm, and pelvic cavity at the same time in one go. The General Surgery Department and the Gynaecology Department can now take their jobs," the assistant lecturer from the General Surgery Department said flatly. He sounded like he was praising Ling Ran, but at the same time, he sounded like he was ridiculing Ling Ran.
In terms of the scope of this surgery, it was indeed possible to invite the General Surgery Department and the Gynecology Department for consultation, and then perform the surgery together.
If something went wrong with Ling Ran during the surgery, or if something went terribly wrong, to the point that doctors from the General Surgery Department or the Gynecology Department had to be called in to save the day, then today's surgery could really be said to be a failure.
However, Ling Ran did it in one go, so there was nothing much to say.
Department Director Lei from the Medical Affairs Department coughed a few times and said loudly, "A liver tumor with a diameter of 16 inches has been successfully removed. Congratulations, Doctor Ling."
With him taking the lead, the crowd followed suit and applauded.
Ling Ran flashed a socially acceptable smile and nodded at everyone.
He Yuanzheng did not want to engage in small talk with them. He turned around and started to clean up as the first assistant.
The doctors in Operating Theater 1 also left just like that. They were like cows that had been let out for an entire afternoon. They slowly left after eating their fill.
Xiang Xueming, who had taken off his surgical gown a long time ago, looked at Department Director Lei, who was talking to Ling Ran, and secretly gritted his teeth.
When it came to personnel issues in the hospital, the person who had the most say was below the hospital director, and the department director of the Medical Affairs Department had the highest authority.
Usually, it was impossible for a young intern like Xiang Xueming to meet the department director of the Medical Affairs Department in private. He would even be stopped halfway when he went to the office.
Xiang Xueming quickly made a decision. He took advantage of Director Lei's absence to quickly walk forward.
"Hello, Department Director Lei." Xiang Xueming greeted him and rushed to say, "I'm this year's intern, Xiang Xueming from Yun Hua University. Can I have two minutes of your time?"
Department Director Lei frowned, but he still stopped. "I'll give you two minutes."
"Thank you, Department Director Lei." Xiang Xueming did not know how many times this scenario played in his mind. When it was really time, he was extremely nervous. He gulped twice before he said, "Department Director Lei, I've been interning with Doctor Ling Ran for half a year. During this half a year, I feel like I've learned a lot. I've participated in hepatectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, finger replantation surgery …"
"If you want to stay in Yun Hua Hospital, there are no more slots this year." When Department Director Lei heard what Xiang Xueming said, he understood what he meant. Therefore, before Xiang Xueming could say anything, he interrupted him.
Xiang Xueming hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "Compared to the interns of the same age …"
"You're talking about Ling Ran, right?" Department Director Lei smiled.
Xiang Xueming suddenly could not continue.
"Yun Hua Hospital has really used up all the slots this year. It's useless for you to come to me, understand?" Dean Lei looked at Xiang Xueming's expression and said, "You can ask your family members. You youngsters should practice your skills more."
In fact, even if Department Director Lei did not say anything, Xiang Xueming already knew the right way to go.
Xiang Xueming's eyes sparkled. He looked at Department Director Lei and said, "My family … Department Director Lei, I really want to be a doctor."
"I wish you success." Department Director Lei patted Xiang Xueming's shoulder, turned around, and left.
"Department Director Lei." Xiang Xueming did not want to lose this opportunity, so he chased after him.
Department Director Lei turned around and looked at him. He said in a serious tone, "Our hospital now only accepts postgraduates. Some department directors are more picky, and they have already set their requirements on doctoral students. You're just an undergraduate student now. If you want to make an exception, you have to show your ability. "
The dignified reason immediately made Xiang Xueming speechless.
He really wanted to refute Department Director Lei by saying that ability was more important than education.
However, Xiang Xueming still couldn't say that an undergraduate student was better than a graduate student or a PhD student.
In the next two days, Xiang Xueming seized all the time he had to contact hospitals.
His internship was about to end, and he still could not decide where to go. At the very least, he had to contact a houseman.
Yun Hua University's reputation was also very good. If he went to a local hospital, he could at least participate in a written examination or an interview.
But in Yun Hua, there were too many doctors who wanted to stay.
Xiang Xueming started his search from tertiary Grade A hospitals. He rejected all the tertiary Grade A hospitals' interviews in one go, and then fell into a trance.
If he could not get into a tertiary Grade A hospital, would it be meaningful to stay in Yun Hua Hospital?
"What are you going to do?" Xiang Xueming asked Zheng Jun when he was about to leave the hospital.
"If I can't, I'll take the postgraduate entrance examination." Zheng Jun was very open-minded. He asked, "What about you?"
"District hospital." Xiang Xueming's face was cold. "I'll at least stay in Yun Hua Hospital."
"That's good." Zheng Jun chuckled and said, "Then, sign it."
"If I really can't, I'll sign it." Xiang Xueming sighed. "It's 80,000 RMB for breach of contract."
"That can't be helped."
Xiang Xueming nodded slowly.
After struggling for another day, Xiang Xueming still went to Cangping District Hospital. For the current undergraduate students, a district hospital in a big city was also considered a compromise choice.
After all the procedures were completed, Xiang Xueming received his assignment. He was stationed at Cangping District Hospital's Bazhaixiang branch.
