Wang Zhong's family was waiting outside the operating theater quietly and helplessly.
His eldest son had already cried for a while. At this moment, he was a little tired and dazed as he watched his relatives walk around like ants.
* Thud. *
The door of the Operating Area was pushed open, and the patient's family members who were waiting in the waiting area all stood up.
"Liu Mingyuan's family members?" the nurse raised her voice and shouted. Then, she looked around.
The family members by the side immediately rushed forward and asked, "Doctor, is Old Liu okay?"
"The surgery went well. He will be sent to the ward later, and someone will tell you what to pay attention to …"
"Okay, okay," the patient's family members agreed.
Wang Zhong's eldest son looked at them enviously, hoping to get a similar answer.
After a long time.
The door of the Operating Area was opened again, and other patients came out.
The members of the Wang Family became more and more silent. Even the originally talkative relatives gradually lost their interest.
* Thud. *
Another surgery was completed, and the patient's family members left.
Wang Zhong's eldest son could not help but stand up and stop the doctor who was about to go back. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, my father has been in there for a long time. Can you take a look at him?"
"He will come out after the surgery." The doctor frowned. It was obvious that he was unwilling to help such a meaningless thing.
Wang Zhong's eldest son grabbed him and refused to let go. He said, "Please do us a favor and let us know what's going on inside. My father's surgery was performed by Doctor Ling Ran … "
"Ling Ran's surgery?" Zhao Leyi was the one who was stopped. He looked at the patient's family members and asked, "What surgery? What illness? "
"Liver cancer."
"Liver cancer?" Zhao Leyi raised his eyebrows.
He had too many reasons to be surprised, and the main reason was that … he did not even know how to perform liver cancer surgery.
Fundamentally, the Emergency Department was not a specialized department. Regardless of whether it was critical illness or minor trauma, the Emergency Department only needed to learn the relatively simple parts. If they encountered more complicated parts, they could just refer them to specialized departments.
Therefore, even chief physicians of the Emergency Department such as Chief Physician Tao would not touch liver cancer, much less attending physicians. However, from another perspective, it was inevitable that emergency doctors, who were also surgeons, would want to touch such cutting-edge surgeries.
"I'll go and take a look. Wait here." Zhao Leyi agreed and turned to enter the Operating Area. However, he did not enter the operating theater directly. Instead, he went to the visitation room and pushed the door open to enter.
There were indeed two rows of doctors in the visitation room. Some of them were from the Department of Surgery, and some were from the Department of Internal Medicine. Most of them were interns, housemen, and resident doctors.
Most of the people didn't bother when they heard the noise.
Ever since the Emergency Medical Center built this visitation room, many doctors liked to visit it when they were free. Compared to going straight to the operating theater to observe, the visitation room was much freer and more relaxed. Some doctors even brought their lunch like hamburgers and came straight to the visitation room to eat. They chatted while they studied, and it was very comfortable.
For surgeons, "seeing" a patient was already a very rare experience.
"Watching" was the basis for participating in the surgery. For simpler surgeries, if a surgeon watched one case and performed one case, he could be the chief surgeon for one case. Complicated surgeries were more complicated to learn, but in reality, they were all the same.
Even though many doctors had to watch many surgeries and participate in many surgeries before they could get the chance to be the chief surgeon for a certain surgical method, it was more to make people "feel" safe.
For most doctors, there was no difference between learning the pattern of a complicated surgical method and learning the pattern of a simple surgical method.
Of course, to perform a complicated surgical method, they had to first accumulate experience in simple surgical methods and complete the prerequisites.
"Doctor Ling isn't doing it fast."
"This is liver cancer surgery. Even if he does it fast, it won't make the patient live longer."
"Who knows how long cancer patients can live?"
Most of the doctors who came to watch the surgery did not expect to perform liver cancer surgery. So, at this time, most of them were just there to watch the show.
However, there were also doctors from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery who came over to watch Ling Ran's surgery.
"The patient's liver is not big. If we cut it like this, will there be enough liver left?" Duan Yiwen, an attending physician from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, said as if he was talking to himself.
The visitation room had a total area of more than ten square feet. Although he spoke softly, everyone could hear him.
Zhao Leyi immediately raised his head to look at the screen.
Compared to looking down at the scene under the floor-to-ceiling window, the real-time video on the screen could be seen more clearly.
Zhao Leyi also noticed that the number at the bottom right corner of the video was 42.
A total of 42 people were watching Ling Ran's surgery at the same time. This number also made Zhao Leyi feel a little excited.
In terms of professional broadcasting, this number was not small.
Moreover, at this time, it was just a normal surgery by Ling Ran. There was no publicity, and there was no topic of discussion. It was just Ling Ran performing the surgery.
Although Yunli Medical Company had installed more screens for major hospitals in the past few months, so high broadcasting figures appeared frequently, for ordinary doctors, it was still very difficult to have a two-digit broadcasting figure.
"When Doctor Ling performed hepatectomies in the past, he often faced the situation where there was not enough liver left. In this regard, Doctor Ling is the authority." Another voice rose from the corner. Zhao Leyi could not help but look over, and it was an attending physician from the General Surgery Department whom he was not very familiar with.
"I've seen it before. It's a very powerful surgery, and the Department of Pathology cooperated with it. A few hospitals in Beijing have set up the Department of Pathology in their operating theaters based on this," another doctor from the General Surgery Department also said as if he was chatting.
Zhao Leyi could not help but pout. The department director of the General Surgery Department had a tendency to praise Ling Ran, and this time, it extended to his subordinates, which made Zhao Leyi feel even more displeased.
* Ring, ring, ring. *
In the operating theater downstairs, the phone rang.
A few seconds later, the circulating nurse raised her voice and repeated, "The periphery is clear."
People in the visitation room immediately clicked their tongues.
In the operating theater, Ling Ran's voice was clear. "Okay, continue the surgery."
"Yes."
"Continue the surgery."
The morale of the doctors in the operating theater was greatly boosted, and they agreed loudly.
For any doctor, an operation that lasted for more than two hours was not an easy task.
Forget about other things, it was not easy for people to maintain their standing position for more than two hours. Moreover, during this period of time, the doctors had to spend a lot of energy and brain.
It was only when they saw the hope of a successful surgery that they became excited.
"Saving people" was in itself very exciting, and it gave people a sense of achievement. It did not need more money or the stimulation of promotion to make people's adrenal glands secrete madly.
Zhao Leyi looked at the faces below and the light in their eyes. He could not help but stand up and walk out of the visitation room.
He did not talk to Wang Zhong's family. He just looked at them from afar. When he saw their anxious expressions, he found it inexplicably funny. Then, Zhao Leyi could not help but laugh.
