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 61 Steel bars inserted into thighs!

The head nurse stammered, "Nothing...nothing. Just go to the surgery room. They're ready."

Li Zheng didn't think any more about it and returned to operating room No. 8 with Chen Dayong.

Zhu Haiping has completed the preoperative preparations, and Lin Xiaomei has already gone on stage and arranged the equipment.

Zhang Lei asked about the situation curiously, and Lin Xiaomei was also worried.

Chen Dayong repeated the story with exaggeration, severely despising the chief surgeon and the doctors in their department.

There was no big problem, and everyone felt relieved.

The operation continues.

Appendicitis surgery is nothing new now. Li Zheng did not go on stage. Chen Dayong and Zhu Haiping performed the operation together, and Li Zheng was giving guidance from the side.

Chen Dayong has a very high talent for learning. After performing a few appendectomies, he has already learned most of Li Zheng's surgical essentials.

Although the surgical process is not as smooth and skilled as Li Zheng's, it is much better than that of ordinary surgeons.

Director Xiao said that he did better than Wang Jiancheng.

"Don't you see who you are performing the surgery under? How can he not be better than Wang Jiancheng?" Chen Dayong said proudly, not taking Director Wang seriously at all.

The emergency department at this time.

A small four-wheeled truck from the construction site quickly stopped at the emergency room door.

"Doctor, help me, doctor, help me!"

Several workers got off the truck, opened the back door of the pickup truck, and lifted a person down with a door panel.

The doctor and nurse on duty in the emergency department hurried out to greet them, pushing a stretcher.

Everyone was shocked to see a steel bar stuck in the man's right leg.

"Hurry up and put him on the stretcher!" shouted the doctor on duty.

Several people hurriedly lifted the injured man onto a flatbed truck. The steel bar on his thigh hit the flatbed truck, and the young worker screamed.

Blood continued to drip along the steel bars, flowed onto the tires of the flatbed cart, and rolled out a blood-red mark on the terrazzo floor.

"Go call Director Tang quickly." The doctor on duty shouted and pushed the cart to the emergency room.

When we arrived at the emergency room, the doctor on duty took a look and saw that the steel bar had entered from the popliteal fossa behind the knee and came out from the upper front of the knee.

"It hit a major blood vessel!"

The doctor on duty quickly took out an elastic bandage and tied it tightly around the middle of the thigh. The bleeding seemed to have slowed down a little.

"How did he do it?" asked the doctor on duty.

"He just fell from the wall, which wasn't high, just over one meter. But he was so unlucky. There was a steel bar underneath, and it pierced his knee. We didn't dare to pull it out, so we used an electric saw to cut the steel bar." A worker said quickly.

The doctor on duty was a little overwhelmed. The county hospital definitely could not treat a patient with such a large blood vessel injury, not to mention that Li was currently in surgery. They could only wait for Director Tang to come and see how he would handle the situation.

"Establish intravenous access first!" shouted the doctor on duty.

The nurses acted quickly and fortunately the patient was brought in in time and the steel bar was not pulled out. The amount of bleeding should not be too much and the patient's condition is relatively stable.

Director Tang rushed over and reported the patient's condition to the doctor on duty as soon as he entered the room.

Director Tang didn't think much about it and quickly said, "Go and ask the surgeon for a consultation!"

The doctor on duty hurried out to make a phone call.

Three minutes later.

Bao Youshan came hurriedly.

I was shocked when I saw the scene in the emergency room as soon as I entered.

The injured man's overalls had been taken off, making the steel bar even more conspicuous.

After listening to the doctor on duty, Bao Youshan quickly checked the wound and examined the dorsalis pedis artery and posterior tibial artery pulse.

Both arteries arise from the popliteal artery, and no pulsation can be detected in either.

The doctor on duty reminded: "I have a tourniquet on it!"

Bao Youshan looked at the doctor on duty as if he were a fool and shook his head. "You think you can tie the femoral artery with an elastic bandage? Do you know the pressure of the pneumatic tourniquets we use during lower limb surgery? The minimum for an adult is 40 kPa, and the maximum is 60 kPa! Your band is so loose, how much pressure can it have?"

The doctor on duty was a little embarrassed and muttered, "I'm not a surgeon!"

At this time, the injured person's knees and calves were severely swollen.

"The popliteal artery is completely damaged. We don't have the conditions to suture the blood vessels here. Transfer to another hospital immediately!" said Bao Youshan.

"Shouldn't you ask Director Xiang for instructions?" Director Tang said.

Bao Youshan thought for a moment and nodded, "I'd better ask for instructions, otherwise he will be dissatisfied with me. He is already very dissatisfied with me!"

After saying that, Bao Youshan turned around and went out to make a phone call.

Coming back soon, Bao Youshan shook his head and said, "Director, without any hesitation, transfer to another hospital immediately!"

Director Tang nodded and prepared to explain the situation to the workers.

At this time, Li Zheng and Chen Dayong returned to the emergency department office.

The nurse immediately ran over and said to him, "Doctor Li, please go to the emergency room. There's a man with a calf injury. There's a steel bar stuck in his leg. It's scary!"

Li Zheng and the other person quickly came to the emergency room.

Seeing Li Zheng, Director Tang quickly made way and reported the patient's condition quickly, but he didn't hold out much hope. This kind of trauma would probably be very difficult for the city hospital to handle, and they didn't even know whether they had carried out the vascular suture surgery.

Li Zheng took a look and nodded, "The popliteal artery has been confirmed to be damaged. Arrange surgery immediately!"

"What, you want to have this operation?" Bao Youshan said in disbelief.

Although Chen Dayong was a little surprised, he immediately retorted, "Why? Do I need your consent?"

Bao Youshan thought of Li Zheng's god-like performance in the past few days and hesitantly said, "I just can't believe that Brother Zheng can do this operation. Our hospital doesn't have a microscope, not even microscope glasses!"
