In the surgical demonstration classroom, Old Chief Physician Pan could not take it anymore and went to rest after the last appendectomy.
At this moment, only Director Liu and Cen Meng were left in the room. The air was heavy and oppressive, giving them a suffocating feeling.
Chief Surgeon Liu had been berating Cen Meng for half an hour because of his remark that the appendix had no soul. Even now, he was still angry. Curling up on the sofa, he did not feel tired at all.
Cen Meng's head was spinning from the scolding. He stared blankly at the pitch-black night sky.
It was a heart-palpitating silence.
"Director, I have an idea," said Cen Meng after a long time.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Director Liu's patience had been worn out. Ever since he invited Professor Ichiro Moriyu to perform the surgery, accidents kept happening one after another, and he was on the verge of breaking down.
"I admit that Zheng Ren is very skilled. He even performed appendicitis in the second trimester of pregnancy and appendicitis in an obese patient who was digging a well." Cen Meng said, "But there's a limit to one person's energy. I think we can solve this problem by exhausting ourselves."
"Fatigue tactic?"
"Yes." Cen Meng only had a vague idea at first, but the more he spoke, the clearer it became. "Zheng Ren said he'd perform ten appendectomies in three days, but I'm guessing that's all he can do. Just like tonight's surgery, it looked simple, but his energy has been depleted. "
"And then?"
"Let me make a phone call to confirm." Cen Meng felt that he had grasped his opponent's weakness. He picked up the phone and called the First General Surgery Department.
Cen Meng inquired about the patients' postoperative conditions and learned that all four patients were stable with no complications. Then, he asked for Zheng Ren's location.
The nurse on the other end of the line had no idea where Zheng Ren had gone.
After putting down the phone, Cen Meng made another call to the emergency department. Upon learning that Zheng Ren had gone to the on-call room to rest upon his return, Cen Meng put on an expression of 'I knew it' and hung up.
"Chief, Zheng Ren is exhausted." Cen Meng was slightly pleased with himself.
"Speak." Chief Surgeon Liu had already fallen into a state of exhaustion, irritation, and shifting the blame to others. He had no patience at all.
"We can look for other hospitals to send patients with acute appendicitis. We don't have to specifically look for patients with highly difficult appendicitis. Since we can't crush him with quality, we can crush him with quantity. "
Chief Surgeon Liu pondered deeply.
Can acute appendicitis be more difficult? He searched his memory for a long time, but he could not find a surgery that was more complicated than appendicitis in pregnancy and ectopic appendicitis.
It was just appendicitis. How complicated could it be?
Based on the surgeries he had performed so far, Zheng Ren's appendectomy skill had reached the pinnacle of perfection. What Cen Meng said made sense, so it was meaningless to treat acute appendicitis intermittently.
Director Liu nodded in agreement with Cen Meng.
Then, he picked up the phone and began to make calls one after another.
Using his decades of prestige, he asked all the general surgery directors and directors of all the hospitals in Sea City for acute appendicitis patients who had been sent to the hospital within 24 hours.
That was not all. As long as he was in contact with the hospitals in the surrounding counties and villages, Chief Surgeon Liu also called them.
Doctors would not stay at the operating table all the time either. Part of the surgery time would be spent on the anesthesiologist. Therefore, Chief Surgeon Liu called the Department of Anesthesiology again and found two anesthesiologists who were working overtime.
Three cameras were turned on consecutively. There was absolutely no gap in anesthesia. Basically, it could guarantee that after Zheng Ren finished one, the next one would already be anesthetized.
Everything was well arranged, and Chief Surgeon Liu thought it was perfect.
In that case, let Zheng Ren perform appendectomies without rest or sleep until the end of time.
He refused to believe that he would not make any mistakes when he was extremely tired!
…
…
Zheng Ren's phone call woke him up at 2: 11 am
It was from the first general surgery department, saying that there was an appendicitis patient who was preparing for surgery.
Zheng Ren already knew that this was a 'conspiracy' from the System notification, but he did not care.
He would definitely be fine if he did not sleep for one night.
Moreover, he had been given an energy elixir during the newbie mission, which was still stored in the System. Zheng Ren did not know the effects of the energy elixir, but since it was a reward from the System, it would definitely not be bad.
Full of confidence, Zheng Ren climbed out of bed.
The night doctor on duty next to him expressed his dissatisfaction at Zheng Ren's phone call waking him up and turned around to sleep again.
Zheng Ren put on a white coat and went to the first general surgery department.
The patient's preoperative preparations were complete. Zheng Ren glanced at the patient and the System informed him that it was simple appendicitis.
It was still manageable. Ten minutes would be enough.
These ten minutes included the time needed to place the sterile surgical drapes and move the patient postoperatively. Most of the time was spent on the anesthetist's continuous epidural anesthesia, but Zheng Ren could not control that.
At this point, Zheng Ren suddenly thought of the Chu sisters. He wondered how good their anesthesia skills were. He had already forgotten what the sisters looked like. He only remembered Chu Yanzhi mentioning that they were postgraduates in intensive care medicine at Huaxi and had studied anesthesia before. They could become anesthetists.
Most of the ICUs in the country were established by the anesthesiology department in the operating theater. Therefore, intensive care medicine and anesthesiology were two branches of the same main branch.
Zheng Ren was not surprised that the Chu sisters had anesthetists' professional licenses.
However, he could not count on them now. It was better to do it himself. These were still too far away. Zheng Ren stopped thinking about the sisters and began to ponder the System's mission.
After confirming the patient's identity, Zheng Ren gave the preoperative instructions and brought the patient into the operating theater.
After waking Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren began to scrub in and lay the sterile surgical drapes.
The surgery began again.
…
…
The anonymous account in Xinglin Garden began to broadcast the surgery.
The doctors who had already followed the nameless account were all woken up from their sleep by the loud ringtone at the same time, no matter where they were, regardless of where they were.
Why was there an alarm when it was not set? The doctors who were still asleep were furious.
They were confused when they saw that it was a notification from Xinglin Garden. Since when did Xinglin Garden add such an alert function?
Some of them perked up when they saw that it was the same account broadcasting the surgery. They turned on their phones and happily watched the surgery in bed.
[Is the god going to perform appendicitis for the whole night?]
[It's just appendicitis. There's no need to work so hard.]
[I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what new techniques we can learn.]
He was lying down while others were standing. He was asleep while others were doing it.
It was undoubtedly a form of happiness.
Poor doctors had to perform an emergency appendicitis surgery in the middle of the night. He was still the best as he could lie in bed and watch the live broadcast.
However, the happiness was short-lived. After the sterile surgical drapes were laid out, the shiny scalpel cut open the skin. Ten seconds later, a fresh appendix popped out. It was nothing new.
The only thing that stood out was the small incision and the surgeon's skilled and stable operation.
An acute appendectomy only took four minutes and twelve seconds. Some doctors only needed to read the patient's first medical record before the appendectomy was completed.
[Does it have to be so fast?]
[Although I don't think there's much to see, I still have to say that the surgery was done too quickly. If it were our department director, a simple acute appendicitis surgery would take around ten minutes to complete. Note, the location is a well-known Class Three Grade A hospital in Imperial Capital.]
[How skillful. Has the surgeon been performing appendicitis all his life?]
There were not many comments in the live broadcast room of Xinglin Garden. The doctors who had watched several typical and extremely difficult live broadcasts of appendectomies had become picky. This simple appendectomy could not satisfy their curiosity at all.
The patient was carried off the operating table. Many doctors who were watching the live broadcast were ready to turn off the live broadcast to find a place to turn off the notification so that they could sleep in peace.
At that moment, the next patient's case appeared on the live broadcast room's notification page.
[Consecutive appendectomies?]
[Where did he find so many cases?]
[Is this the legendary night of appendicitis? I was just about to sleep when I suddenly felt sleepy. God, have pity on me. I have five more surgeries tomorrow.]
