Edem's request dictated the type of surgery, but also forced Kawi to change the time of surgery.
The main reason is that the uncertainty about the location and extent of infiltration of the tumor requires Kawei to prepare several surgical procedures to deal with various situations in order to meet the requirements of "normal people" as Edem said.
The more he prepared, the more time and bodies he needed.
Kawei had some knowledge of intestinal decannulation and reconstruction, and had done it firsthand. After all, emergency surgery often encounters patients with severe trauma who need reconstruction. What he lacks now is practical surgical experience for specific tumor diseases. He could have observed the surgical team in his own hospital, but now he can only rely on himself.
After these few days of practice, Kawei's proficiency is improving. The reason why there is still no real sense of success lies in the ability of the entire team.
Kawei's surgical skills have been honed for nearly forty years. As long as he is given more corpses and time, he is confident that he can perform this operation. But the problem is that level 4 surgery is far from just his ability as the surgeon. Teamwork and the personal abilities of his assistants are also the key to the success of the surgery.
During the few days he was practicing, the assistants couldn't be idle. They had to stay with him until the end, otherwise the assistant position he had finally won would be given away.
You must know that Kawei is no longer the little assistant who just came on the stage to perform cesarean section. With his current ability, as long as he opens his mouth, a bunch of people will immediately become his assistants. However, including Herman, there was a lack of ability in various assistant positions.
The previous surgeries were either simple in operation or simple in process, and the only complicated ones were only two surgeries.
Fernand is a dying man, and Kavi just wants to complete the operation, so he doesn't have high requirements for details. In the other case, Ludwig was assisted by several director-level doctors. After several days of cooperative practice, there would be no problem with his strength.
But now.
Ignatz, Hills, Billroth and Orji were all on the front line, while Waterman and Massimov politely declined after the consultation.
Half a year ago, it would have been common for them to refuse to become assistants, because these already famous surgeons disdained being assistants. Even the younger Hills has the dignity of being a surgeon and does not allow others to easily take his place.
But these so-called dignity are worthless in the face of learning and knowledge. Various new surgical methods have already forced them to put down their bodies and become Kawei's assistants.
The rejection now is more of helplessness.
Kawei can probably guess the reason for their refusal, not because they are not interested in this kind of surgery, but because of a simpler and more direct reason.
Both of them are elderly and about to retire. It would be easy to just stand for four hours, but the problem is that they have to face Kawei's stormy surgical pace and the huge pressure imposed on them.
This is not because Kawei is disgusting them, but because the longer the operation time, the lower the patient's chance of success, the higher the chance of postoperative complications, and the more dangerous the patient is.
They are already accustomed to controlling the rhythm by themselves, and are also accustomed to simple surgeries. Now they have to change their rhythm and follow Kawei's footsteps. Any disconnection between the hands and brain will slow down the progress of the entire operation. This is how mistakes happen slowly while busy.
Ludwig's spinal surgery had been done forcefully before, so they would definitely be terrified to have it done again.
Massimov was okay, but the one he really wanted to avoid was Waterman. He had not only undergone Ludwig's spinal surgery, but also had Giustina's breast cancer surgery, and was well aware of the terrifying pace of Kawei's surgery.
Both operations almost killed him, and it took him a long time to recover. The operation in front of him took nearly 4 hours, and he really couldn't bear it.
Faced with the rejection of the two, Kawei had no choice but to use his original young team these days.
The anesthetist is still Amor, and the equipment nurse also has his own choice, because there is no other alternative besides them. As an assistant, Kavi abandoned the inexperienced Berget at the beginning and invited Jacob to participate in the operation on the afternoon of the next day.
However, the former leader in urology chose to refuse like everyone else.
[Dr. Kawi, my focus is still on Persian diplomacy. Normally I am just a teacher of Persian. The medical aspect is entirely in the name given to me by Dean Waterman. ]
These were his exact words, even if Kawei tried to persuade him again and again, it was of no avail.
His refusal seriously delayed the efficiency of practice. Herman and Damirgon were capable, but they were not geniuses like Ignatz. Their abilities came from repeated practice and practice. What is lacking most now is practice and practice, and Kawhi must be replaced.
There is only one person left who has not accepted the invitation: "Dr. Mosier, I invite you to become a member of my surgical team."
"Me? I'm just a doctor who performs prostate surgery. I can't do this." Mosier declined politely, but more of this rejection was due to his inferiority complex of only specializing in one operation. "I'm not as good as Dr. Carvey." Talent, you can’t learn much in a short time.”
"Surgical techniques are all interchangeable, not to mention that the bladder is right next to the prostate, so teachers can do it"
"The gap between prostate and bladder surgery is still too big. As long as I can see the operation process clearly on the stage." Mosier put down the newspaper in his hand and poured the newly filled red wine into his stomach. "Vienna There are so many surgeons, why come to me?”
This was true, and it hit Kawei's weakness. He really couldn't find anyone else.
The main reason was the Austro-Prussian War, which sent a large number of surgeons to the front line. The second reason was the conflict with Edinson. There were still many people in the College of Surgery who wanted to see his jokes.
Of course, another reason is that Kawi's social circle is not large, and Kawi is not familiar with many of the remaining people, and most of them are young people like Heman and Damirgaon.
They are energetic and willing to be assistants, but they do not have the ability to become a first aid.
Seeing that Kawei was too weak, he had to be tough: "This is Mr. Edem's surgery, and Dr. Mosier is not willing to do it? Does he think it is humiliating to be a Issuke?"
"That's not true." Mosier put down his glass and told the truth, "I was a little skeptical at first, after all, you are so young, but after going through so many surgeries, I can only admire you now. The rejection is also sincere, I really feel that I cannot be a help in this operation."
"Why do teachers have such low self-esteem?"
"self-abasement?"
Mosier smiled: "Although I am not well-known in Paris, I have a lot of patients, and there are too many people with prostate problems. I can make a lot of money relying on these patients, what do I have to feel inferior to?"
"Oh, that means I have been resting on the success book of prostate surgery for too long and am unwilling to take any more risks."
Mosier frowned: "I'm just self-aware. If I force myself to take the stage even though I know I'm not capable, that's irresponsible to the patient."
"But the first assistant only needs to obey the orders of the chief surgeon. If you have qualified technical skills, you can be the first assistant. My assistants are only disliked by me because their basic skills are not solid enough." Kawei could only resort to provocation, "Does the teacher even do this? Has Isuke’s courage gone?”
The alcohol that had entered his body early in the morning, coupled with Kawei's "unreasonable" behavior, made Mosier very angry.
He slammed the table, pointed at Kavi and said, "What are you talking about? How can the French be cowards?"
"That surgery"
"Isn't it just Isuke? Isn't it just a small bladder? It's no big deal!" Mosier looked at Edward and Edem behind him and said, "As long as you two agree, I can go on stage now!"
“What a spirit!!!”
Before the two Frenchmen could react, Carvey stood up first and couldn't help but applaud for this impassioned speech: "Then the matter is settled, I don't think Ambassador Edward and Mr. Edem will object. "
Edem certainly wouldn't object.
Although Mosier said he was not famous, that was just modesty. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a pioneer in prostate surgery. Almost all patients with prostate problems in Paris have seen him. If this is not considered famous, then there is no famous surgeon.
But Edward was different. It wasn't that he didn't agree, but he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
When Erdem chose the third surgical option, he was still feeling well. But when Kawi said he wanted to postpone the surgery, his problems arose.
Delaying the operation means delaying Edem's recovery time, so the trip to Paris must also be postponed. If it was only for a day or two, that would be enough, but Kawei pushed it to a full five days, directly postponing the trip to after November 5th.
Taking into account Edem's post-surgery recovery, it may be mid-to-late November when Kawhi can arrive in Paris.
too late!
But the problem is that Kawei's request is not excessive. His starting point is for the sake of Edem's health, and Edward cannot object openly. And Mosier also refused completely, so he had been thinking about how to help Mosier persuade Kawei to complete the operation as soon as possible.
But who could have known that Mosier's attitude would change so quickly, and that everything would completely change after he was distracted for a short while.
"Huh? Are you going to help Dr. Kawei?"
"Yes, this is also a good challenge for me." Once he convinced himself, Mosier could rattle off a bunch of reasons, "In the end, you still have to do the surgery yourself before you know how to do it. "
Edward was caught off guard, and now he could only advise: "I think I can see a wider area from a higher place."
"Mr. Ambassador, you don't understand, surgery is not like watching an opera." Mosier continued, "Besides, Dr. Carvey's trip to Paris is just around the corner. As a representative of the Paris surgeons, I will complete this complex operation with him. It can also serve as a warm-up for this tour.”
A smile appeared on Edward's face and he nodded slightly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
It was obvious that Mosier was completely trapped and couldn't pull himself out. He could only ask Kawei who was on the side to try a few words: "Dr. Kawei, will the temporary change of team members affect the cooperation of the operation?"
"No, Dr. Mosier's abilities are definitely better than those of my assistants, and the benefits to the operation will definitely outweigh the disadvantages." Kawei put the red wine aside, stood up and straightened his clothes, without giving Edward any chance. " Doctor Mosier, I will go back and rest for a while, and we will meet at the Municipal General Hospital at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"no problem!"
Preparations for the operation were in full swing, and not only surgeons like Carvey and Mosier were working hard on this, but also many insiders and outsiders.
First of all, it’s Edem. As a patient, necessary preoperative preparations can reduce the difficulty and risk of surgery, and can also greatly improve the frequent complications after surgery.
Compared with modern people, as a romantic Frenchman in the 19th century, Edem has a natural advantage.
Once he was free from the pressure of surgery, he was very happy to be able to perform the surgery painlessly. This is a brand-new operation that has never been done before. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, Edem will definitely leave his name in the world. He just feels excited now.
Secondly, he is very concerned about the cleanliness of his intestines. Once a day enema is part of his daily life. Although Kawei’s requirement of twice a day is a bit frequent, it is still within the acceptable range.
Thirdly, he has also undergone multiple bloodletting treatments and has no resistance to having blood drawn for blood type matching.
The only drawback lies in the preoperative examination and intraoperative supportive care.
The next ones who are working hard are the full-time surgical reporters.
Kawhi's short departure caused them to lose a lot of material. Now that they have performed such an operation just after returning to China, it is difficult for people not to care. Varela and Greg of the daily newspapers were all involved in the operation, and the Free Press, the Times, and the Imperial Patriot were all hanging out outside the Municipal General Hospital.
Three days have passed, and the entrance to the operating theater of the Municipal General Hospital is crowded with people, but what they are waiting for is not Kawei, but an amputation that is meaningless.
"Where's Dr. Carvey?"
"He's not here." The gatekeeper changed the sign at the door, "The time has been changed."
"Changed the time? When did it change?"
"At least five days later." The administrator sighed and said, "Let's all disperse. You can enter with your ticket after five days."
"Are you kidding me? I specifically turned down work to come to see the surgery. How can I just change the time if I change the time?" All the celebrities came, and some of them were obviously not convinced. "***, refund the ticket!"
"Yes, refund!"
Some people started to follow suit, but the administrator calmly returned to his ticket booth and sat down, and asked slowly: "Are you sure you want to refund your tickets?"
"certainly."
"The Municipal General Hospital is open for business. Of course, you can refund the ticket before the operation begins. This is all voluntary, but I still have to remind you." The administrator picked up the newspaper nearby and read it, "This is Dr. Kawei's operation. , major surgery, if you cancel it, you won’t have the chance to buy it again.”
