"Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen..."
For two whole hours, Liu Chaoran, the attending doctor in the general surgery department, was like a family member of the patient.
Standing at the door of the operating room of the emergency department, I watched with horror as the waves of patients who had completed gallbladder surgeries were sent back to the general ward.
"It's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and 18 gallbladder operations have been completed."
"The last four surgeries took less than an hour no matter what."
"The emergency department really took less than 4 hours to complete gallbladder surgeries on 22 patients, and all of them were the most complex gallbladder-preserving surgeries..."
Liu Chaoran checked the time on his watch again, and after confirming that there were no errors, he turned around and ran out of the emergency department.
Things have developed to such an incredible extent, and as for the next response method, it is not up to him, the attending doctor, to decide.
"How on earth is this done?"
"There are only five operating rooms in the emergency department. Even with full power, it is impossible to complete so many gallbladder surgeries in such a short period of time!"
"If general surgery had this exaggerated technology, all doctors would have to make a fortune..."
When Liu Chaoran ran into the director's office, he was still mumbling in his sleep, shouting that it was impossible.
Let alone Long Province, even the entire Chinese medical community has never heard of such an exaggerated surgical scene...
"Are you kidding the teacher?"
"In 3 hours, 18 operations on gallbladder patients were completed, with an average of 6 operations per hour."
"There are a total of 5 operating rooms in the emergency department. In other words, within an hour, at least one gallbladder surgery must be completed in each operating room. It is also the most complicated gallbladder-preserving surgery!"
After listening to the student's panicked story, Director Qiu's hands didn't even shake when he was making Kung Fu tea.
After taking a few sips of tea leisurely, he spoke again.
For this ignorant student, it’s time to teach him some common sense...
"Xiao Liu, let me test you. A minimally invasive surgery for cholecystectomy starts from the moment the patient enters the operating room."
"How long does it take a surgeon until the gallbladder is removed, the wound is anastomotic, and the observation is over...a surgeon?"
"Under normal circumstances, the surgeon can complete the operation within three hours."
"If a top expert like you, Director, takes action and controls it within two hours, there will definitely be no problem!"
Liu Chaoran answered with great confidence and certainty.
As an attending physician in general surgery, he didn't even understand this basic common sense, so he just drowned himself in urine.
Even on the basis of answering the teacher's questions, he even complimented the teacher against his will.
Director Qiu’s fondness is well known to everyone in the general surgery department...
"Yes! This is the thinking and judgment that my student, Qiu Lixin, should have."
Looking at the students who were getting better and better, the smile on Director Qiu's face grew stronger.
While confirming Liu Chaoran's answer, he also announced his conclusion immediately.
"So, for a conventional minimally invasive cholecystectomy surgery, an experienced general surgery director-level surgeon will not take less than two hours to complete the entire procedure."
"I can guarantee that the complex surgery to preserve the gallbladder cannot be completed in less than 4 hours."
"Even if the operating rooms of the emergency department are fully open and operations are performed as quickly as possible, it would be good to complete five operations before 5 o'clock tonight!"
"As for the 18 surgeries you mentioned, it's just nonsense!"
Director Qiu gave his conclusion with great certainty.
And based on his decades of medical experience, this conclusion is very objective and consistent with the essence of the facts.
Director Qiu was not unfamiliar with the skills of those in the emergency department. Except for Lu Chenxi who could handle them, the rest of the doctors were just doing ordinary rescue work.
If the general surgeon randomly picks out a surgeon, even the student who has been following him for the shortest time, Liu Chaoran, and puts him in the emergency department, he will be a sweeping presence...
"Do you know why I agreed to transfer all the gallbladder patients on hand to the emergency department?"
"Why? Teacher, do you have any other considerations?"
Liu Chaoran was indeed a little confused. In addition to collapsing the diagnosis and treatment system of the emergency department, did the director have other ideas that he didn't know about...
But Director Qiu, who took a sip of tea, had erratic eyes and showed no intention of listening to the students' questions. He continued to ask and answer questions.
"With five operating rooms, a maximum of 10 bile-preserving surgeries can be performed every day. Even if Zhong Xibei invites the best experts and professors in related fields in the country, this is the limit of the emergency department operating room of the Central Hospital!"
"As long as we transport no less than 20 gallbladder surgery patients to the emergency department every day."
"In less than three days, Zhong Xibei will come to the general surgery department, begging me to take in these patients, and promise that the emergency department will never touch gallbladder patients from the general surgery department!"
"There are no rules without rules. If Zhong Xibei breaks the rules, he will have to bear the corresponding price!"
Qiu Lixin is very certain about this.
Otherwise, he would not be able to sit still on Diaoyutai and drink tea in the office calmly...
"Teacher Qiu, I saw 18 gallbladder patients coming out of the operating room with my own eyes!"
What Director Qiu said does sound like how things should be, but there is absolutely no possibility of deception in what he has seen with his own eyes.
Liu Chaoran couldn't bear it anymore and asked the teacher one more question...
"Young people, Master Confucius once said, seeing may not necessarily be believing!"
"As for why Zhong Xibei did it in such a big way, come to think of it... I think it's just a shame!"
Director Qiu hesitated and chose a suitable word to describe the true state of the emergency department at this time...
"Forget it! Let's not talk about the emergency department."
"You just need to remember that it is simply impossible to complete gallbladder-preserving surgeries on 18 gallbladder patients within 3 hours!"
"We just have to wait and see what happens and wait for the emergency department to screw up the show!"
When the student opened his mouth to ask a question, Qiu Lixin immediately interrupted him impatiently.
"Go and find me the information on the Yamamoto patient."
"Just in case, I'll add insurance to the emergency department."
After all, Zhong Xibei is also one of the veterans of the Central Hospital. The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff.
In order to bring down this old man, the prestige of general surgery must be completely established.
Qiu Lixin felt that Yamamoto, who was a footbath chicken, was a good candidate to add more money.
...
"Professor Zhuang, you are finally back."
At the same time, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the Central Hospital.
Zhuang Shu had just entered the ward and before he had time to change his clothes, he was pulled by Bai Ji to the director's office.
"Professor Zhuang, there is a very serious medical issue that urgently needs your confirmation."
After suppressing his eagerness, he made Zhuang Shu a cup of tea.
Bai Ji then looked at the other party solemnly, ready to ask the biggest question that was holding back in his heart.
"Director Bai, tell me."
Seeing that the other party was acting so formally, Zhuang Shu also straightened up and looked at the other party quietly.
"Is there a way to perform surgery on more than five patients at the same time?"
Even though he knew it was impossible, Baiji still had to ask.
The emergency department was able to complete 22 operations on gallbladder patients in less than 4 hours, which is really appalling.
Asking Zhuang Shu, Bai Ji also wanted to confirm.
Are there any similar cases abroad...
