Chapter 109 I hope you have some respect for life
Seeing Su Tang working silently, everyone stopped making harsh remarks.
After all, it feels like hitting cotton, which is really unpleasant.
The appendectomy surgery in the afternoon was performed by Dr. Meng from the Department of Surgery, a woman in her forties.
It is said that he has been working in the hospital for more than ten years and has always coveted the position of chief surgeon.
Su Tang originally thought he could be an assistant, but was assigned by Dr. Meng to deal with some minor problems for the patients.
"Xiao Su just arrived, so let's start with the basics."
Doctor Meng smiled kindly, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
She didn't even consider Su Tang as a doctor.
Su Tang tightened her grip on the razor. She had already performed an appendectomy independently in her previous unit, but now she had to do this kind of nursing work.
But she still finished it patiently, and her movements were so smooth that even the nurse who was handing her the equipment was stunned.
When Su Tang came here for the exam before, Vice President Jiang Kang felt a little regretful.
She said she had finally established herself in the hospital and it was a pity for her to leave now.
But here, Su Tang can get more opportunities for promotion and will not have to live apart from Lu Xiao.
Vice President Jiang Kang agreed.
He also hopes that Su Tang will be able to walk steadily and smoothly in the future.
Su Tang sighed in his heart and did the finishing work.
Following Dr. Meng into the operating room, Su Tang could only act as an assistant and watch.
Halfway through the operation, Dr. Meng's hand suddenly paused as the patient's bleeding was difficult to stop.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and the assistant next to her was also panicked.
Su Tang stood in the corner, glanced at the blood pressure on the monitor, and couldn't help but say: "Doctor Meng, maybe the small artery is not ligated properly. Try clamping it at the three o'clock position with a hemostat."
Dr. Meng's face darkened when Su Tang pointed at him. "What do you know? Do you have the right to speak here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the patient's blood pressure dropped again.
Su Tang didn't hesitate any longer and took a step forward: "Let me try."
Her fingers were as steady as a rock, and the hemostat clamped the bleeding point accurately. In less than half a minute, the bleeding stopped.
The entire operating room was silent, and Dr. Meng's face turned red and white.
After the operation, Dr. Meng flew into a rage in his office: "What a jerk! How dare someone who got in through the backdoor question my skills?"
Li Min quickly handed over the tea. "Don't be angry, Sister Wang. Isn't she just lucky? We'll have a patient with a compound injury tomorrow. I heard the injury is quite serious. Let's see how she makes a fool of herself then."
The next morning, an ambulance brought in a worker who had fallen from the scaffolding. He was covered in blood, had three broken ribs, and a possible ruptured spleen.
Doctor Meng took a look at the film, frowned, and said he wanted to transfer the patient to a large hospital in the city.
"It's too late to transfer to another hospital. The patient's blood pressure continues to drop. It's a ruptured spleen with bleeding. Immediate surgery is necessary."
Su Tang said this without hesitation.
Dr. Meng glared at her: "Do you want to kill the patient? Our equipment here can't perform a splenectomy!"
"No need for a complete resection. It's just a subcapsular rupture. A repair will be enough. I'll be the surgeon."
Su Tang pointed at the film and pointed out the problem.
"you?"
Doctor Meng seemed to be joking: "Su Tang, can you bear the responsibility if a medical accident occurs? Don't forget that you are still in the probation period!"
Hearing Dr. Meng's deliberately targeting words, Su Tang became completely angry.
"Doctor Meng, considering you are my senior, I already respect you enough, but please remember one thing."
She took a step forward and slammed the film in her hand on the table.
"At any time, the patient's life is above everything else! As a doctor, I hope you can have some respect for life."
"Instead of questioning me here, why not go to your leader and ask for me to be the lead surgeon? At least I can say that if I'm confident."
This was the first time Su Tang spoke such harsh words to Dr. Meng since he came here.
Su Tang has been a doctor for eight years and has never encountered such a thing.
The patient was lying on the operating table while the doctor was talking nonsense.
She hates this kind of intrigue the most.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Director Zhang rushed over. Seeing the patient's condition, he said anxiously, "What are you still standing there for? Surgeon immediately!"
Su Tang looked at Director Zhang and said, "Director, I request to be the lead surgeon."
Dr. Meng immediately objected: "Director, how can she, a newbie, perform such a major operation!"
Director Zhang pondered for a moment, remembering Su Tang's suturing technique that day. He then glanced at the critically ill patient and gritted his teeth, "Let Su Tang do it. Doctor Meng, you assist."
In the operating room, Su Tang put on surgical gown, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Her voice as she instructed the nurse to prepare the equipment was calm and steady, not at all like that of a newcomer.
Doctor Meng said sarcastically, "Doctor Su, be careful. If the stitches get messed up, Deputy Headmaster Lu will lose face."
Su Tang ignored her and focused on separating the tissue.
What does her matter have to do with Lu Xiao?
When she completed the last stitch with absorbable suture, the clock in the operating room had just passed one hour.
Dr. Meng looked at the almost invisible stitches, his mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
When the patient was pushed out of the operating room, his blood pressure had stabilized.
Director Zhang patted Su Tang's shoulder with approval in his eyes.
"Director, although Su Tang did complete the operation, she is still an intern. Do you want to watch all the interns in our hospital claim that they can perform operations independently before they are reincarnated?"
Dr. Meng was obviously unwilling to give in, and took a few steps forward and said this.
Director Zhang turned around and looked at Dr. Meng with a serious tone.
Dr. Meng is an old employee of the hospital, but now he is making things difficult for a newcomer.
The more she made things difficult for Su Tang, the more it proved that Su Tang's medical skills were better than hers.
She is afraid of being squeezed out.
"Xiao Meng, the hospital looks at strength, not qualifications. The fact that Su Tang was able to withstand the pressure and complete the operation today proves that she has the ability."
"Is letting patients miss the best opportunity for treatment while we're arguing the way we are, really what an experienced doctor should do?"
He paused, his eyes sweeping over the silent medical staff around him. "From now on, whoever has the ability can do it. Don't use your status as an intern to make excuses. If you really have the ability, just like Su Tang, use your scalpel to do the talking."
Doctor Meng's face changed instantly, and the knuckles of his fingers clutching his white coat turned white, but he couldn't refute a word.
Director Zhang has been the director of surgery for ten years and has always been known for her fairness. Now that Dr. Meng was refuted in public, she felt ashamed.
Su Tang stood aside, feeling calm.
She had long understood that in a place like a hospital, compassion and concessions could not be exchanged for respect, and only strength was the hard currency.
Coincidentally, she has plenty of ability.
This is Su Tang's confidence and composure.
When Su Tang went back to eat at noon, he talked about this with Lu Xiao.
Su's father and mother laughed at Su Tang's confident and bold look.
Loving someone is like raising flowers. The better Su Tang is, the better her life here is.
