In the ICU.
For most people, it was a place of despair.
They entered the ICU in despair, received treatment in despair, and hoped that they would not be one of those who left in despair.
However, Young Feng was already used to the ICU.
She held a large pig's trotter and chewed on it with relish, as if she was eating a rare feast. In fact, this was indeed the best meal she had in the past week. The pig's trotter was soft and tasty, and the tendons could be bitten off with one bite. It exuded the unique salty aroma of braised food …
"If I knew this earlier, I would have bought pig's trotters in the hospital every day." Young Feng was annoyed by her own judgment.
She was not very short of money, or rather, she had never felt that she was short of money since she was young. Therefore, when faced with her husband's treatment, Young Feng knew that even if she lost all her money, she would still get it back.
Therefore, even if she was running out of money, and even if her seven-digit savings had shrunk to the limit, Young Feng was still not very anxious.
However, Young Feng really did not have enough energy to take care of her husband in the ICU alone. Whenever she had the time, she would rather read a book alone. She would even sneak out to watch a movie and cry for no reason. Then, when she returned to the ward, she would feel a little more relaxed …
"Madam Liu." When Doctor Yan came out of the office, he saw Young Feng sitting there alone and chewing on a pig's trotter. For some reason, he wanted to greet her.
"Doctor Yan." Young Feng quickly wiped her mouth.
"You eat, you eat. I'm fine. I just saw you and said hello." Doctor Yan paused for a moment. When he saw that Young Feng still wrapped up the pig's trotter, he sat down and smiled. "You haven't been home for a few days, right? Do you want to go back and rest?"
"The hospital is my home now." Young Feng chuckled, and her smile was graceful.
Doctor Yan could not help but think of gay celebrities. When he first fell in love, most of the women in gay television dramas were virtuous and virtuous, so much so that Doctor Yan could not forget them. Young Feng, who was standing in front of him, was one of them …
"You've worked hard." Doctor Yan sighed.
"People will grow old, get sick, and die. It can't be helped. Fortunately, people only die once in their lives. "Young Feng spoke slowly, and it made people reminisce.
Doctor Yan shook his head. "Don't think so much. Go back and rest. When the day of the surgery arrives, you won't be able to rest even if you want to. "
Young Dai's only family member was Young Feng. When it was time for the surgery, she would definitely have to wait outside the door, and the combined liver and stomach surgery would definitely take a long time.
Young Feng was a little convinced. She turned around and looked in the direction of the ICU ward. She thought about it for a few seconds and nodded. "Alright, I'll go back and pack up. I'll come back later."
She did not give many reminders like an ordinary patient's family member, nor did she nag or hesitate.
In Doctor Yan's imagination, he hoped that all the patients' family members would be like this. However, Doctor Yan knew that Young Feng was like this because she had experienced too much, had too many expectations, and had too many disappointments.
"Doctor Ling will be personally operating on the patient this time. The surgery will definitely be very effective." Doctor Yan had never said something like this before, but this time, he could not help but say it out loud.
As a doctor in the ICU, what Doctor Yan did the most was lower the patients' expectations, and he even extinguished them.
"It's impossible for the patient to be as good as before."
"It's impossible to recover completely."
"Right now, the best outcome is for the patient to be able to speak and understand what you're saying …"
Doctor Yan had stood in the middle of the conversation countless times and used the form of a conversation to show the cruel reality to the patient's family members.
However, this time, Doctor Yan hoped that Young Feng would have more expectations and fantasize more.
At least, fantasies could be better.
Young Feng smiled and thanked him again. She smiled gracefully, and it was a memorable smile. "I hope so."
"Doctor Ling is one of the best hepatectomy experts in Changxi Province. All the hospitals in Beijing have invited him to perform surgeries." Doctor Yan originally did not want to say this, but to increase Young Feng's confidence, he still said it.
Young Feng's expression changed a little, and she looked at Doctor Yan. "I know that Doctor Ling is quite good, and he often carries out freelance surgery in Wuxin City. I didn't know that he also carries out surgeries in Beijing …"
"More than once. As far as I know, the director of the General Surgery Department of a hospital in Beijing has specially asked Ling Ran to carry out surgeries. After the surgery, he got off the bed a few days later and went overseas. " Doctor Yan lowered his voice a little and said mysteriously, "With his income and status, it won't be a problem for him to perform surgeries overseas. In the end, he went to Doctor Ling. So, it's a good thing that Doctor Ling is willing to operate on Young Dai …"
As Young Feng listened to Doctor Yan's explanation, her face gradually became a little more lively. She then looked at Doctor Yan, who was getting closer to her, and felt a little embarrassed. She whispered, "Doctor Yan, I've promised Young Dai that if he dies before me, I'll become a nun …"
Doctor Yan was shocked. "There are still … people who do this nowadays?"
Young Feng hummed softly and said, "I'm not very good at doing business. If Young Dai dies, I'll have to find a job. Nowadays, there are also organizations of nuns, and it's more stable. Besides, if I live in a temple, everyone can take care of each other. I won't have to spend Chinese New Year alone … "
Doctor Yan thought, 'What kind of expression should I make?'
…..
Tuesday.
Operating Theater 1 was brightly lit at six in the morning.
Two circulating nurses went back and forth in the equipment room.
Combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery was already a very rare surgical method in Yun Hua Hospital. For the Emergency Medical Center, it was the first time it was performed.
It was not that it was very high-end. Of course, it was high-end enough. It was equivalent to performing two Level 4 surgeries in a row, and it covered many major surgeries. What made the Emergency Medical Center the most nervous was the expected time of the surgery and the scope of the surgery.
Compared to the surgery grading system set by the medical officers, medical staff, especially the medical staff from tertiary Grade A hospitals, had their own understanding of the level of surgery.
According to the surgery grading system in the country, a surgery like hemihepatectomy was already a standard Level 4 surgery and a major surgery. Total gastrectomy and extended radical surgery for stomach cancer were also Level 4 surgeries. However, in the current tertiary Grade A hospitals, it might not be easy to perform such surgeries well, but it was not difficult to carry them out.
Forget about other things, if the First People's Hospital and the Second People's Hospital of Wuxin City invited Ling Ran as a freelance surgeon, it would mean that they were carrying out Level 4 surgeries.
However, compared to combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery, simple hepatectomy was not as wild.
At least in terms of scale, combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery was much larger. In the medical field, if the scale of the surgery was slightly larger and the time was slightly longer, the difficulty would increase by more than 10 points.
The size and difficulty of the surgery could be seen from the allocation of surgical nurses and anesthetists.
"Ling Ran has never performed combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery, right?" The department director of the General Surgery Department narrowed his eyes and sat on the chair in the visitation room. He still looked a little sleepy.
"I remember that when you performed your first intestinal obstruction surgery, you also did it according to the book without any guidance?" Huo Congjun smiled, and his words were aggressive.
"It was different back then." The department director of the General Surgery Department smiled. This was one of the experiences he was proud of in his early years. If he were a celebrity, this would be considered part of his celebrity anecdotes.
Huo Congjun also smiled. "How much difference can there be now?"
It was not a secret in the hospital that resident doctors flipped through books while prescribing medicine, and attending physicians flipped through books while performing surgeries. There was nothing wrong with reading books if one did not know how to do it. This was especially so when it came to rare diseases and symptoms. Even if the chief physicians encountered them, they still had to flip through books when they needed to.
However, the department director of the General Surgery Department pursed his lips and said, "There weren't so many mobile phones in the past, and there were no cameras in the operating theaters."
Huo Congjun's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm. "Ling Ran's hepatectomy and gastrectomy are top-notch. It's only natural for him to challenge combined liver and pancreatic surgery."
"You're right." The department director of the General Surgery Department did not doubt Ling Ran's ability. However, when he saw the Emergency Medical Center performing the super high-end surgeries of the General Surgery Department openly, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
