After suturing the wounds on the chest and abdomen, Li Zheng also sutured the wound on the perineum.
The operation is now over.
I looked up at the time and it was already 3:37 pm.
Li Zheng only realized that he hadn't had lunch yet when he heard his stomach growling.
But he has gotten used to it. This is what it's like to be a doctor, especially an emergency doctor. It's normal not to be able to eat on time.
"Li Zheng, you must be tired. Come off the stage and take a rest. The hospital cafeteria has prepared the food. Let's go eat together." Vice President Jiang said with a smile.
He hadn't participated in this kind of emergency surgery for many years, so even though he was hungry, he still missed the feeling.
Li Zheng nodded without refusing.
In my previous life, I developed stomach problems early on because of irregular meals.
Although I have been smoking and drinking for a year, fortunately I am young and the condition has not been seriously damaged. It is not too late to pay attention to my health now.
In the live broadcast room next door.
Everyone was immersed in admiring Li Zheng's operation until they saw Li Zheng put down the surgical instruments, and then they came back to their senses.
"I think I can try to learn thoracic surgery!" said a general surgeon.
"Are you serious?" asked another orthopedist.
"Of course I'm serious. Look at the chest cavity. There are only a few structures: the heart, lungs, and a few large blood vessels. Dissecting it is simpler than the abdominal cavity!"
"It's simple, but don't you think about why our hospital still doesn't have a specialized cardiothoracic surgery department?" said the orthopedic doctor.
The general surgeon thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly because there are relatively few patients for cardiothoracic surgery. Just think of heart transplants. How many are performed nationwide each year? There are quite a few patients with lung lesions, but most don't require surgery and are treated with internal medicine. Even for lung cancer patients, only a small percentage can choose surgery. Lung cancer has usually metastasized by the time it's discovered."
The orthopedic surgeon sneered and said, "Your understanding of cardiothoracic surgery is too narrow. Let's not talk about the heart for now. Just the lungs and surrounding tissues have many operations that can be performed. Lung tumors, lung abscesses, bullae, pneumothorax, mediastinal tumors, esophageal cancer, all of which are cardiothoracic surgery.
Not to mention the heart, congenital heart disease, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, etc., each of which is extremely difficult. Then there are valvular heart disease, coronary artery bypass grafting, cardiac tumors, pericardial disease, and large vessel diseases connected to the heart, such as aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. Which of these is not a top-notch surgery in the surgical field?
The general surgeon broke into a sweat after hearing this.
After watching Li Zheng perform open-chest surgery, he felt that the steps were very clear and the operation looked easy, which gave him an illusion.
Dai Huiyang, the head of urology nearby, smiled and said, "Surgery for these diseases is indeed difficult, but the most critical factor is that we currently lack not only technical skills but also extracorporeal circulation devices. Without extracorporeal circulation, heart surgery is simply impossible. Even though some surgeries can be performed on a beating heart, few people can reach that level of skill. Li Zheng might be able to do it, but if there were extracorporeal circulation equipment, he could perform many more heart surgeries. That would be considered true cardiothoracic surgery."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Currently, only two large hospitals in the provincial capital are equipped with extracorporeal circulation machines. If the municipal hospital wants to get one, it cannot spend a large amount of money to buy the equipment and only let it gather dust because it does not have the talent pool in this area.
Dean Zhang thought about it and temporarily gave up the idea. The road must be taken step by step, and the construction of the hospital must also be done step by step.
Once the influence is sufficient, these devices will naturally appear.
The operation is over.
Everyone began to leave the live broadcast room one after another.
Dean Zhang and Director Dai were preparing to go next door to say hello to them.
In the operating room.
Li Zheng has taken off his surgical gown.
Although this major surgery wouldn't make him too nervous, the sweat on his back still soaked his wash clothes.
Vice President Jiang looked at Li Zheng's back and said with a smile, "Li Zheng, look at your surgery. We can't help you much. If you come to perform more surgeries in the future and help us improve our team, we can help you with more tasks and you won't be so tired."
The other doctors nodded.
Especially Zhu Qidong and Zhang Yong.
Although they are orthopedics doctors, they have now developed a keen interest in surgeries in other departments.
"I think I should go to Guang'an County Hospital and study with Brother Zheng for a while, so that I can make faster progress!" Zhu Qidong said with a smile.
"Haha, don't worry." Dean Zhang laughed as he entered the room. "Our General Surgery and Traumatology Center should be established next month. Come over then and I'll arrange a spot for you!"
Vice President Jiang really wants to establish this so-called center in the city, but he should talk to President Zhu first. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to agree. If he agrees, Li Zheng's father will probably wake up laughing in his dreams, and President Zhu will definitely not be able to lose face.
"I can't wait any longer. I will apply to the hospital today and go to the county hospital tomorrow to have surgery with Brother Zheng. No matter what kind of surgery it is, it will be a real pleasure. I love this feeling so much!" Zhu Qidong laughed.
Everyone else feels that way.
Zhang Yong envied Zhu Qidong. He had the same idea, but he didn't have the guts. Zhu Qidong and Dean Zhu had a special relationship, so he could do whatever he wanted. If he had said that, he would have been blasted.
Vice President Jiang shook his head helplessly and said, "Your idea is good, it just depends on whether the hospital agrees. If the hospital opens this door, then other doctors can also go. I don't think you can succeed."
Zhu Qidong said indifferently, "If the hospital leaders are so stubborn and inflexible, I will give up and quit my job here. With leaders like this, the Municipal Hospital will sooner or later be surpassed by Guang'an County Hospital!"
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped.
Such outrageous words were actually spoken in front of so many people, including Vice President Jiang.
Zhu Qidong, you have guts!
"Okay, okay, let's go eat first. We can talk about anything after we're full." Vice President Jiang said.
Everyone left the operating room and went to the locker room to change clothes.
Zhu Qidong followed Li Zheng all the way.
He now sees very clearly that Li Zheng is an all-round super boss. Following him, he can perform any difficult surgery in various departments, and his upper limit is immeasurable.
If I stay in the city hospital and help out step by step, doing retractors and skin sutures, and then the director slowly lets me go, I can say that except for microsurgery, I won't be able to perform other surgeries myself for more than ten years.
Under this traditional model, not only is my growth rate slow, but my upper limit is also locked.
