Chapter 40 - Surveillance of the Surgery

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Medical staff followed this pattern, which was the rule of big hospitals today. During this time, work in big and small hospitals would be monitored.

“Begin the anesthesia.” “Start the thoracotomy, open the thoracostomy tube.” “Push the liquid tube up.” “Begin…” After stabilizing his mind, Su Chen quickly gave the order.

The reason why he closed his eyes was to simulate the surgical process before and after the surgery.

There were three types of bleeding, so there were probably three bullets. The best method would be to locate where the bullet in the small intestine was located, followed by the lung lobe, and finally, the left ventricle of the heart. The left ventricle of the heart could be called the left heart lobe.

The left ventricle of the heart was located between the upper part of the sternum and the upper part of the lung. Most of it belonged to the upper left ventricle of the chest cavity… This was really a blessing in misfortune. Su Chen rejoiced for a moment.

Due to the contraction of the external arteries and ribs, the bulge that entered the heart wall did not penetrate, nor was it a serious injury. When the bullet fell into the original position, it hindered the normal functioning of the heart, causing the heart to suddenly stop beating.

When ordinary people encountered such a situation, their hearts would die an hour later and there was no chance of survival.

According to the time the patient was brought in, Su Chen only had about twenty minutes left, maybe even less than twenty minutes. After Su Chen stabilized his mind, he decided to take care of the most dangerous part first by dealing with the slug in the heart first …

When the police arrived at the hospital, the hospital staff and doctors were scared out of their wits. They thought that something terrible had happened.

When they learned that it was an injured police officer and they were carrying out resuscitation, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, they received an unexpected piece of news that scared everyone. The doctor who was the chief surgeon had only been in the hospital for two days, and he was an intern who had yet to graduate from university. Who could believe it?!

Everyone was extremely tense. Something was going to happen.

A sentence surfaced in everyone’s mind, “There was going to be a medical malpractice at the hospital today!”

The hospital director, the department director of surgery, Gao Qinghua, and a few other chief surgeons and chief physicians rushed to the operating theater… Outside the operating theater, in the monitoring room, no matter who it was, no matter where it was, every hospital had clear-set operating theater rules.

If not necessary, if there were no accidents, if there were no emergency medical accidents… During the surgery, everyone was prohibited from entering the operating theater! This was to prevent people from disturbing the surgery.

As the name suggested, the monitoring room could monitor the entire operation process. This type of monitoring room had also appeared in large hospitals in recent years.

Its key purpose was to allow some doctors to gain experience by monitoring the process.

Most patients did not know that during surgery, many people would watch the surgery through surveillance cameras, and they would even watch the video repeatedly.

However, it did not matter. The people watching were all professionals in the hospital, and they were also medical interns in the hospital, so they could still be at ease. What was the saying?

The patient had no secrets from the doctor! This was the only way to treat the illness better!

The dean, along with a few department directors and a few doctors, rushed into the surgery monitoring room. If not for the limited space in the surgery monitoring room, there would have been more people watching.

They were surprised when they saw the surgery Su Chen was doing through the surveillance monitor.

On the big screen, a young man raised his hand to the victim’s chest and started the surgery smoothly. After a stable operation, he raised his hand from the chest area and held a red bullet between the forceps.

It was red because it was stained with blood.

At that moment, the ward’s indicator showed the victim’s physical indicators. All the values were stable.

From the data, it could be clearly seen that the victim was in a very good condition. There were barely any changes to the values, and they were always within the safe range.

Upon seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this patient was not in any danger!

But at the same time, everyone was stunned. This was very wrong! Didn’t they say that this chief surgeon was an intern who had yet to graduate from university? Did interns also know how to perform surgeries? This overturned their impression of interns.

Most importantly, an intern who had yet to graduate from school could not participate in surgeries even if he became a resident doctor, much less have any experience in live surgeries.

Was this is an autopsy? The patient in front of them was a living person, a dying patient!

Not everyone could operate on others just because they entered the hospital!

It usually required a few years working in the ward, then a couple of years as a surgical assistant before the possibility of becoming a chief surgeon arose.

Some people were more capable and adopted faster. These people started quickly and performed their surgeries quickly. The time spent training until they could actually perform surgeries was also very short. On the other hand, for some people whose abilities were weaker, their time would naturally be longer. In this case, the time spent training until they could actually participate in surgery would be longer.

In addition, according to the needs of the wards, some doctors could quickly start practicing. They would have very little practical experience in surgery, such as appendicitis, cyst, and so on. These were all surgeries performed by young doctors.

Since this might endanger the patient’s life, hospitals and wards needed to be more careful. Under normal circumstances, one needed to be at least a resident doctor in order to have the right to participate in the surgery and perform the surgery. Interns, intern doctors, and resident doctors. These were three mountains, and it was not easy to cross them.

Yes, even if some people became resident doctors, they could only perform simple minor surgeries.

For a large and medium-sized surgery like open-heart surgery, it was at least the level of the chief physician. This was not a joke, nor was it a movie!

Everyone looked as if they had just eaten sh*t as they watched the monitor. The chief surgeon looked very young, but his movements were very skilled, steady, accurate, and precise. He was even better than some of the chief surgeons who were hesitant and imprecise.

His hands were shockingly stable during the surgery.

There was nothing wrong with the entire process. This was what surprised them.

Everyone was shocked.

During the entire surgery, this young doctor was multitasking. He performed the surgery meticulously and in an orderly manner without making any mistakes. He took out the bullet, sutured the internal muscles, sutured the left ventricle… took out the bullet, sutured the wall of the lung… took out the bullet, sutured the small bowel perforation… until the last suturing of the chest…

All the steps took less than fifteen minutes, and the entire surgery took less than twenty minutes..
