Rebirth in 1987: Becoming a Surgical Saint from a County Hospital

In the spring of 1987, Li Zheng, a world-class surgical titan, unexpectedly reborn as a useless doctor at Guang'an County People's Hospital, was publicly announced to be dismissed by the de...

Chapter 103 The doctors regretted it!

Li Zheng continued to perform continuous subcutaneous sutures.

Director Duan helped him pull the traction line.

After 3 minutes, the 15-centimeter wound was sutured.

Everyone focused their attention on the wound, but apart from the faint traces of blood around it, there was no sign that surgery had been performed there.

"Doctor Li, you've done every step of the way to perfection, from the inside out. No wonder Director Duan invited you here despite everyone's opposition and confusion. We want to thank Director Duan for allowing us to witness such a wonderful operation!"

Zhou Ming retracted his gaze, looked at Li Zheng, and said from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Qidong continued to hold the patient's thigh in abduction and external rotation with both hands, and chuckled, "Dr. Li's microsurgery is truly exquisite. I really hope Dr. Li can perform one in our hospital."

"Oh? Director Duan brought you to Guang'an County just to let you watch microsurgery?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

Zhu Qidong nodded and said, "What else could I do? I specialize in microsurgery, and Director Duan brought me to see a fracture surgeon? You really don't understand Director Duan's vision!"

Director Duan chuckled and said, "Although our hospital's conditions are better than the county hospital's, they're not much better. We don't even have a microscope. However, microsurgery still needs to develop. Even without a microscope, we can still perform microsurgery. Li Zheng happened to mention that he wanted to do a finger blood vessel transplant. I was skeptical at first, but since Li Zheng dared to do this, he must be serious. He must have some secret, or perhaps a unique skill, so I think it's necessary to take you to see it."

"What's the result?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"It turned out that Li Zheng not only performed a blood vessel transplant, but also a micro-flap transplant. I was stunned." Zhu Qidong said as he peeled off the sterile sheet.

"hiss!"

Zhou Ming and Zhang Yong both gasped.

"Guang'an County Hospital has a microscope?" Zhang Yong asked with wide eyes.

Zhu Qidong rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Don't you have ears? Director Duan just said that we don't have microscopes in the city. Do you think the county has them? Did you buy them? We even brought the microscope glasses with us!"

Zhang Yong was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled. He was indeed a little distracted just now.

"What were the results of the operation?" Zhou Ming was itching to know the answer.

Zhu Qidong nodded and said, "Of course, you said it all just now. Dr. Li's surgery was done to perfection. He only wore a pair of microscope glasses, and the suture results were better than those of the professors I saw when I was studying in the province!"

Zhou Ming's face showed a shocked expression. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would no longer doubt it. After all, he didn't believe in today's operation at first, but after watching the whole process, Li Zheng's surgical skills were truly amazing.

"It's a pity that there are no suitable patients in the department now, otherwise I would have asked Dr. Li to do one as well." Zhou Ming sighed.

Zhu Qidong also felt it was a bit of a pity.

Li Zheng can't come here often, and if he does, it's only for elective surgery.

Director Duan consoled him, "Don't worry. Next time, we'll arrange a thumb reconstruction for another patient and let Dr. Li perform the surgery."

"Thumb reconstruction?" Zhu Qidong's eyes lit up.

In the past, such patients were transferred to provincial hospitals, and it was impossible to perform the operation there without a microscope. Moreover, this type of operation not only involves suturing blood vessels, but also involves transplantation. The second toe, which is the longest one, must be transplanted to the position of the missing thumb. Precise design is required before the operation. The first step alone stumps most doctors. If they can't even do a good job of designing, forget about the operation.

The other doctors also widened their eyes.

Most doctors have never heard of this kind of medical term.

"That's the top operation in microsurgery!" Zhou Ming exclaimed.

"If he's not top-notch, there's no need to invite Li Zheng!" Director Duan said with a smile.

Zhu Qidong was a little excited and wished that there was such a patient right now, but he knew very well that there were many patients suitable for thumb reconstruction, but very few patients actually chose to undergo this operation.

You can only greet the outpatient and emergency departments, and once there is a suitable patient, you must get him.

The operation is over.

Li Zheng and others stepped down.

Lin Xiaomei also stepped down and took off her surgical gown. The circulating nurse took over the equipment cart and went to wash the instruments.

This feels so good!

Lin Xiaomei once again experienced the thrill of flying knife. When she was training at the municipal hospital, she used to wash the instruments herself after the operation. Now, as long as the operation is completed, she can leave the stage. It’s great.

Several people and Director Duan returned to the doctor's office.

"It's done so quickly?" asked a resident.

"What? You think it's impossible?" Zhu Qidong curled his lips.

"No... I just think... this is too fast. Normally, an ordinary joint replacement is not this fast!" the resident stuttered.

The other doctors also nodded, saying it was too fast. It was possible that the operation encountered difficulties and was abandoned halfway.

That would be a big trouble.

Director Duan chuckled and said, "Today's surgery was wonderful and very valuable to learn from. Once the videotape is out, let's all learn from it together!"

The doctors in the office who had not entered the operating room were dumbfounded. Director Duan said it so easily, and there was a video, so there was no way there could be any problems. It could only mean that the operation was a success.

"When did congenital hip dislocation surgery become so simple? Otherwise, how could it be done so quickly!" muttered an attending physician.

Zhang Yong heard this and sneered, "It's impossible to be simple. The speed is because they're skilled at the surgery. The entire operation was seamless, with every step flowing smoothly. It's much smoother than our joint replacements. Tell me, isn't it fast?"

The doctors were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yong, who was very disgusted with Li Zheng's arrival before the operation, now starts to praise him. It seems that the operation was really done well, otherwise he would not have such a big change.

Zhou Ming smiled faintly and said, "Put aside your arrogance and learn with an open mind. In the medical field, there are always better doctors! You think you are better than the doctors in the county hospital, but that's just your own opinion. In reality, compared to Dr. Li, you can't even see his back."

The doctors were completely speechless.

Deputy Director Zhou's attitude also changed 180 degrees.

This operation was so brilliant! It could cause two hostile elements to defect at once.

"Well... what a pity that we can't observe it in person!" A short resident was the first to express his opinion. If he still can't grasp the reality, he is really a fool.

Zhu Qidong curled his lips and said, "Even if you want to see the operating room, there's no room left. You'd better watch the video!"

All the doctors had some regrets.
