As the days passed, the emergency department became busier and busier.
In a week, Zheng Ren had performed sixteen appendectomies and seven acute cholecystitis surgeries. He had also rescued a patient with a knife wound and performed a splenectomy.
Life in the emergency department was busy but fulfilling.
Thanks to Old Chief Physician Pan's efforts and coincidences, the department was gradually becoming more staffed.
Chief Surgeon Liu was discharged from the hospital and the first general surgery department underwent a major reshuffle.
Cen Meng resigned and went to the Provincial Capital Medical University Second Affiliated Hospital. Yang Lei, a friend who had tipped off Zheng Ren, voluntarily applied to leave the first general surgery department and come to the emergency ward.
Only one doctor had been added, but the nurses' side was much busier.
It was said that the nursing department had been in a mess recently.
At least a few dozen people had applied to be transferred to the emergency ward.
Zheng Ren knew that it was all thanks to Su Yun. That guy was like a walking citronella … No, the kind that was meant for women.
In short, the emergency ward was on the right track very quickly.
As a bitter chief resident, the more patients there were, the harder it was for Zheng Ren.
Fortunately, the surgeries were performed smoothly and there were almost no postoperative complications. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sleep well.
The weather gradually turned cold. Clouds covered the sky every day, but there was no snow, which made people feel a little depressed.
Zheng Ren did not mind it. The System had been unusually quiet recently and did not issue any new missions. Zheng Ren had obtained 50 skill points and 5000 experience points by completing five main missions.
The general surgery skill points had increased from 3161 to 3185, and he had 1789 skill points in his inventory. There were also 88,620 experience points and three silver treasure chests.
Zheng Ren felt that if he continued like this, he would be able to upgrade his general surgery skill to Master rank in another month with normal surgeries and reading books.
Chang Yue and Yang Lei took care of everything in the ward in an orderly manner.
Zheng Ren only needed to perform surgeries and read books every day. It was a comfortable life. However, Su Yun was like his shadow, following him around and attracting countless hostile gazes.
Gradually, Zheng Ren got used to it. He was not gay anyway, so he did not care what others thought.
One day, he was reading the last 100 pages of a thick book called Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery when the emergency ward received a call from the Department of Genitourinary Surgery.
Department of Genitourinary Surgery? Zheng Ren did not want to go when he heard the name of the department.
It was not because the Department of Genitourinary Surgery involved the lower three arteries, but because he had only rotated in the Department of Genitourinary Surgery for a month when he was still an intern many years ago. He did not understand the situation there at all.
There were two skill books, but they were only at the Specialist Level. He reckoned that he would not be able to surpass the chief physician of the Department of Genitourinary Surgery. The experience points were definitely not enough to cultivate his genitourinary surgery expertise, so it was unnecessary for him to go.
However, since there was a consultation, and it was an emergency consultation, he had to be there within five minutes.
He closed the book and hurried to the Department of Genitourinary Surgery.
"Guess what patient it is?" Su Yun said with a smile as he followed Zheng Ren.
"I'm not an immortal." Zheng Ren's answers to Su Yun's questions became simpler and more brutal. Even Zheng Ren himself did not notice the changes in the process.
"Intelligence is my weakness." Su Yun sighed. "You're not from the Department of Genitourinary Surgery. Do you think they'd let you perform the surgery? It's all because of your intervention skills. "
Of course, Zheng Ren had already guessed this, but he could not stand Su Yun's handsome appearance. Almost eighty percent of people would turn to look at him if he walked with him. He would become the ugly bestie beside a beautiful woman.
Coincidentally, Su Yun was like a piece of sticky candy that could not be chased away.
The journey to the Department of Genitourinary Surgery was silent.
A deputy chief physician with the surname Shen stood in the corridor anxiously, looking at the time on his phone and the main entrance.
When Zheng Ren and Su Yun appeared, he felt a little more at ease.
"Chief Zheng, there's a patient for you to take a look at," Deputy Chief Shen said anxiously.
"What patient?"
"A young male patient diagnosed with left kidney cancer. 29 days ago, he underwent a nephrectomy at Imperial Capital Hospital. The upper pole of the left kidney was removed. This morning, he showed signs of hematuria and was admitted to the emergency department. Hematuria lasted for five hours and hemostatic drugs were ineffective. We're considering left nephrectomy for bleeding, "Deputy Chief Shen said professionally.
The medical history was clear and there were no suspicious points.
Because the patient was young, the left kidney was considered.
However, the kidney was more fragile. Ligation, suture, and various other methods could not guarantee postoperative bleeding.
In particular, if this kind of wound was placed on other organs, it would have healed in 29 days. However, the kidney … The sudden hemorrhage was probably caused by a ruptured blood vessel.
"The patient's family called the surgeon and they said there were two solutions. If the bleeding could be stopped through interventional surgery, they could simply stop the bleeding. If not, the left kidney would have to be removed, "Deputy Chief Shen said and let out a long sigh.
Zheng Ren recalled that it was not difficult to stop bleeding during interventional surgery.
"Chief Zheng, can you do it? You know the situation in our hospital. I heard that you performed two emergency bleeding control surgeries a few days ago, so I tried to ask, "Deputy Chief Shen said impatiently when he saw Zheng Ren ponder for a second.
This was also why a dog's stomach could not hold two ounces of sesame oil.
However, when it came to a patient's kidney, he could not be blamed for being anxious.
"Let's go take a look at the patient." Zheng Ren did not directly take charge but suggested to take a look at the patient.
When they arrived at the intensive care unit, the System's interface gave a simple diagnosis: hemorrhagic shock. The cause was indeed bleeding from the resection of the left kidney. It seemed that interventional surgery was enough to stop the bleeding.
"Is the fasting time enough?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Yes!" Deputy Chief Shen perked up.
"Let the family come with me to do preoperative briefing. Push the patient to the emergency interventional surgery room. Ask the blood bank to prepare 10 more units of red blood cells and some plasma. "
A group of family members stood by the side, suppressing their impatience and anxiety. When they heard Zheng Ren's words, hope was ignited.
"Immediate family members, those who can sign, follow me." Zheng Ren was straightforward.
A young woman in her twenties, probably the patient's lover, and two elderly people under sixty followed Zheng Ren to the emergency ward.
Zheng Ren briefly communicated with the patient's family members. Before the surgery in Imperial Capital, he had clearly explained all the postoperative complications, especially the postoperative bleeding, which had been explained countless times.
Therefore, the family members were considered half doctors. They had some understanding of the evolution of the disease, so there was no need to elaborate.
When they chose to resection the kidney, they were already prepared for postoperative bleeding.
However, they did not expect the bleeding to come so late.
After explaining, Zheng Ren left the matter to Chang Yue and asked her to do preoperative briefing, especially about the possibility of ectopic embolism necrosis leading to nephrectomy.
While the preoperative briefing was being done, Zheng Ren and Su Yun went to the operating room to change and prepare for the surgery.
After changing, Zheng Ren prepared to pack the surgical supplies.
Su Yun's voice came. "The supplies are ready. Chief Zheng, you can start the surgery directly."
