[I'm new here. Can anyone tell me why an appendectomy is such a lowly surgery?]
[Lowly? When you can complete an appendectomy in three minutes, it becomes an art. Art, understand?]
[Agreed. I've been watching for the whole night. I'm taking the day off. I want to see how many appendectomies the surgeon can perform. Brackets, in one go.]
Zheng Ren was performing a simple appendectomy. There was nothing special about it. No matter how skilled the surgeon was, viewers would get bored after watching it for a long time.
Other than the newbies being mocked by the surgeon's skill, the doctors who insisted on watching the live broadcast wanted to know how many appendectomies the surgeon could perform in one go.
This was definitely a national record that no one could compete for.
The only suspense was how sensational the record would be for future generations to admire.
[Is this a human operating on a human? How can it be so fast?]
[The incision isn't the standard McBurney point, but it's always the closest point to the appendix. Help, is there a new test that can pinpoint the location of the appendix?]
[Young man, don't be childish. The surgeon has been performing the surgery all this time. He's also observing the patients in the operating theater before the surgery. There's no way there's any new test method. His rich clinical experience has probably given him an extremely accurate judgment.]
Another one, and another one.
The doctors watching the live broadcast had the illusion that the surgeon was going to continue until the end of time.
Only when the mountains were flat and the heavens and the earth were united would he dare not perform the surgery.
At 9.15 am, the patient was removed from the operating table, but the next patient did not lie down for a long time.
Was he done?
The doctors watching the live broadcast were in a daze.
Ten minutes later, they were finally convinced that the expert who had performed appendectomies in succession had finally completed all the acute appendicitis cases in the city and the surrounding counties.
[Finally, he's done it. I've been watching for 15 hours.]
[How many did he do?]
[49, 666!]
In less than 24 hours, he had performed 49 appendectomies. The number was dizzying. If it was their own hospital, they might not even have enough time to anesthetize the patient.
If they put themselves in Ling Ran's shoes, the doctors who were watching the live broadcast would be very depressed. Ling Ran's standards, skills, scrub nurses, and anesthetists …
Zheng Ren had finally become their child and received their admiration.
…
…
After completing the last emergency appendectomy, Zheng Ren finally left the operating table.
He hesitated and did not call Xie Yiren. That girl must be sleeping. No matter how straight Zheng Ren was, he still had this little bit of emotional intelligence.
He searched for the number and called Old Chief Physician Pan.
"Director Pan, it's me."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After a brief exchange, Zheng Ren changed his attire and left the operating theater without taking a shower. He rushed to the demonstration room in the general surgery department.
When he reached the floor where the general surgery department was located, he was stunned when the elevator doors opened.
A strong smell assaulted his nostrils.
Zheng Ren was very familiar with the smell. It was the smell of stinky feet, disinfectant, farts that had been covered in blankets for an entire night, the smell of food, and the stench of the bathroom. It was the smell of work.
Nowadays, the National Health and Family Planning Commission forbade Class Three Grade A hospitals from adding extra beds. It had been almost two years since he last smelled this familiar scent.
He realized that this was the result of him performing dozens of appendectomies in one night, and the patients were all over the place.
It was like returning home. Zheng Ren did not dislike the smell. Instead, he felt more at ease, as if he had returned to his youth when he first arrived at Sea City General Hospital.
Zheng Ren knocked on the door of the demonstration room when he arrived.
A loud reprimand came from the room, but no one paid any attention to Zheng Ren's knock.
He pushed the door open and saw the chief of the medical administration division sitting in front of the projector screen. Opposite him were Chief Surgeon Liu from the first general surgery department, Chief Surgeon Sun from the second general surgery department, various deputy chief surgeons, and chief residents.
Old Chief Physician Pan was sitting leisurely by the window, his fingers tapping on the tattered cover of the Guanzhui Chapter in a joyful rhythm.
"Chief Surgeon Liu, you're the backbone of our hospital. How could you do something like this?" The chief of the medical administration division's tone was stern. "Do you have any sense of the bigger picture?"
Chief Surgeon Liu's lips twitched, but he did not refute or stand up to shamelessly apologize.
"The hospital leaders were having a morning meeting this morning when Head Nurse Li barged in." The chief of the medical administration division continued, "You know Head Nurse Li's temper, but what she said was reasonable. What you've done … "
"After an emergency discussion with the hospital leaders, this matter ends here. From now on, emergency appendicitis cases will be handled by the emergency department," the chief of the medical administration division concluded.
"I want to do it, but what about the manpower?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked leisurely.
The two chief surgeons of the general surgery department were no longer in Old Chief Physician Pan's eyes. They had failed miserably and if anyone dared to fly into a rage, there were forty-nine videos to slap their faces.
Forty-nine consecutive hits, who could withstand that?
"Old Chief Physician Pan, don't worry." This was the source of the headache for the chief of the medical administration division. With the increasing number of medical disputes, medical disputes had become a new profession. Currently, hospitals across the country were understaffed, especially the emergency and pediatrics departments.
However, these two departments were not the only ones suffering from a shortage of manpower. It was just that these two departments were the most severely understaffed.
Old Chief Physician Pan was an experienced veteran. If he was angered, he would slam the table and curse. The chief of the medical administration division did not want to be involved in this.
Respect and coaxing were required for the old man. That was why the chief of the medical administration division acted as if he did not see the instigator of this mess. If it were someone else, he would have scolded the person regardless of right or wrong. No matter how capable the person was, the hospital would still be able to see patients without him.
"Chief, I have an opinion." Chief Surgeon Liu stood up and gave Cen Meng a look. Cen Meng braced himself and went to the projector to search for something.
"Keep your opinion to yourself. This is the opinion of the hospital leaders." The chief of the medical administration division was firm and left no room for negotiation.
Chief Surgeon Liu had expected such an answer. He ignored the chief of the medical administration division and looked at Old Chief Physician Pan. "I remember Zheng Ren saying that if it's a simple appendicitis case, he can do it without a wound."
As he spoke, Cen Meng found the video of Zheng Ren talking to Xie Yiren during the surgery and projected it.
"Yes, if it's a simple appendicitis case, I can do it without a wound." Zheng Ren's words were clearly heard by everyone in the room.
"If he can do it, I'll resign." Chief Surgeon Liu grabbed Zheng Ren's only weakness and refused to let go no matter what he said, like a dog biting on a feces bag.
Even Director Liu did not hesitate to raise the flag of resignation, he wanted to earn some face in the end.
"You didn't take the joke in the operating theater seriously, did you?" Old Chief Physician Pan smiled and said, "I really wonder how you've performed so many surgeries over the years."
"Chief Surgeon Liu, I also think Zheng Ren was joking. Please don't be unreasonable, okay?"
"How am I being unreasonable?" Chief Surgeon Liu's eyes were red from the defeat. He straightened his neck and said, "I admit that he's good at surgery, but he's not better than me … Not by much."
Even in his last struggle, Chief Surgeon Liu could not say that he was as good as Zheng Ren in appendectomy. Everyone knew who the other was. If he did not know what was going on, he would be criticized by others in the future.
"But what he said himself, I took it seriously. Anyway, I'll leave it at that. If he can do a wound-free appendectomy, I don't care who performs appendectomy. I'll resign. "
"Despicable person," Old Chief Physician Pan said disdainfully.
"Chief Surgeon Liu, you can't let your emotions affect your decisions." The chief of the medical administration division sincerely tried to persuade Chief Surgeon Liu not to escalate the matter. Now that Old Chief Physician Pan was on the right side of things, if he was forced to ask for a full complement of staff in one or two days … many people in the hospital would commit suicide.
"Chief Surgeon Liu, I'm not asking you to resign. You just have to promise not to touch any general surgery cases with acute appendicitis in the future. Listen, this is the general surgery department, not the first general surgery department," Zheng Ren said as he gave Chief Surgeon Liu a sidelong glance.
F * ck, they were all crazy.
