The meeting ended and the crowd rushed out like a tide. The noisy footsteps and conversations intertwined into a clamor at the door of the spacious conference room.
As soon as Lin Lin stepped out of the conference room, he saw the beautiful sister walking towards him.
Lin Lin asked doubtfully, "Director Mei, do you have any other questions?"
She knew that usually everyone was eager to leave after the meeting, but Sister Damei came to see her on purpose, so it must be something serious.
That’s right, Damei is now the director of the dermatology department and is quite famous in the hospital.
The plastic surgery department she is in charge of is very busy.
Due to the hospital's planning adjustments, venue and staffing issues this year, the Dermatology Department and the Plastic Surgery Department have been temporarily merged together.
Although this merger has added some complexity to management, it has also brought a lot of convenience after resource sharing.
In the last recruitment, doctors specializing in skin diseases were successfully hired and filled the vacancies in a timely manner.
This has eased the staffing problem that was as tense as a taut bowstring, and the pressure of diagnosis and treatment work has also been reduced a lot.
However, judging from the current resource allocation of the two departments, whether it is the number and sophistication of medical equipment or the overall size and professional structure of medical staff, they have not yet reached the standards that can support the independent operation of the departments, so Damei is still in charge of the unified management of the two departments.
Her delicate face looked even more captivating under the light, but Lin Lin had no time to admire it. Damei said, "We have two difficult cases, and we'd like Dean Lin to help us make a decision."
Lin Lin frowned slightly. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Even though I can handle any difficult and complicated illness since I came to this strange world, how can I handle something related to plastic surgery? I have absolutely no experience!"
Lin Lin thought so in his heart, and said it out loud.
After hearing what Lin Lin said, Damei was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: "Dean Lin, I know this is not your area of expertise, but you are experienced and have a wide range of ideas."
"This case is so special that we plastic surgeons can't handle it alone. We can only count on you now."
Lin Lin sighed helplessly: "Then tell me the patient's detailed condition again, don't miss any details."
Damei responded and began to describe the situation she had so far: "These two patients have one thing in common, and that is obesity."
"When they came to see us, they mentioned that they had tried various weight loss methods before, but nothing had worked. It was only when they heard about our hospital's plastic surgery department that they decided to give it a try."
Lin Lin asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a very common case in the plastic surgery department? According to conventional treatment, common treatments like liposuction and gastric reduction should be able to achieve the desired effect, right?"
Damei sighed leisurely and said, "This is why I came to see you."
"They accepted both of the methods you just mentioned and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the treatment."
"But...but this treatment just can't be carried out!"
Damei frowned, her face full of helplessness and confusion.
Hearing this, Lin Lin immediately became interested. She said to Damei, "Please explain in detail. This situation is very unusual. There must be some special reason."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lin frowned slightly, his expression became serious, and he quickly added: "Tell me about it and I'll help you analyze it."
As she spoke, she quickly put away her curious expression, as if she had drawn a curtain called "professionalism", and her eyes revealed concentration and calmness.
When she thought about the conditions of the two patients, Damei couldn't help but become anxious again.
She said to Lin Lin, "During the preoperative examination, the process was quite difficult."
"As soon as the instrument touches their skin, strange phenomena will immediately appear."
"As soon as the fat layer detection device's probe touched their skin, it seemed to encounter a mysterious interference source. The data jumped wildly like a runaway horse, and the entire device completely stopped working properly."
"Looking at the pre-operative examination equipment for gastric reduction surgery, it seems to have lost its effect on them, completely failed."
"The ultrasound probe in the imaging department used to be able to accurately detect stomach conditions, but now it can't see any detailed information about the stomach at all. It's as if a mysterious force is blocking it."
"We are unable to explore the specific situation, nor can we provide appropriate treatment." After saying that, Damei sighed deeply again.
After listening to Damei's description, Lin Lin frowned even more tightly, and a serious look flashed in his eyes: "I have never encountered such a situation before. It seems that we can no longer treat it with conventional thinking."
At this point, she couldn't help but ask Damei, "Have you ever tried extracting cell tissue for testing?"
Damei nodded: "Yes, but that's where the problem lies."
Her face was full of helplessness and confusion, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed together like two tangled twists.
The wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as ravines, and each one seemed to tell the difficulty of the incident.
There was a strange look in his eyes, a complex mixture of fear, doubt and bewilderment, like a deep black hole.
After a pause, as if recalling the scene, she continued, "We encountered extraordinary difficulties when extracting tissue cells from it."
Damei frowned and gestured with her hands as she spoke, trying to describe the situation more accurately.
Lin Lin asked, "How difficult is it?"
A sense of unease welled up in her heart, and she had a premonition that what she was about to hear would be beyond her imagination.
Damei looked at Lin Lin and continued, "Their skin is like steel armor. A scalpel can't cut it at all. That's the sharpest scalpel in our hospital. It can easily cut through even the toughest fascia, but it can't even leave a white mark on their skin."
"Several of us doctors took turns trying, but the results were the same." When she said this, Damei's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.
After taking a deep breath to calm herself, she continued, "Later, there was really no other way, so I used an angle grinder to cut it open. Sparks flew while I was cutting it."
"The scene was horrific. It was like cutting through incredibly hard metal, not human tissue."
"The moment the angle grinder came into contact with the skin, sparks flew everywhere, accompanied by a sharp sound, and the entire operating room was filled with a burning smell."
