Chapter 110 The Typhoon is Coming
Surgery building, outside the oncology operating room, next to the sink.
Jiang Haichao, wearing a green scrubs suit, stood expressionlessly in front of the sink, scrubbing each of his fingers carefully, from the gaps between the nails to the spaces between the fingers, to the wrists and elbows, leaving no trace of dirt behind.
The assistant following Jiang Haichao was the attending physician with a buzz cut. He looked a little ugly and seemed a little dissatisfied.
The doctor with a crew cut scrubbed his hands and whispered, "Deputy Director Jiang, Director Fan, are they going too far?"
"Even if we are just attending physicians, you, Deputy Director Jiang, are the deputy chief physician... Why didn't you discuss it with us and directly inserted that unknown doctor Su into our operation at the morning meeting? What's more, it's a major operation like lobectomy..." The chief physician with a crew cut had a look of extreme dissatisfaction on his face.
Lobectomy is generally divided into open thoracotomy and minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.
When the condition is not so serious, minimally invasive thoracoscopy is naturally the best option.
This way, the surgical wound area is small, the recovery is fast, and it is not easy to get infected.
But open-chest surgery is different. It is only performed on patients with more serious conditions.
In addition, there are factors such as large wound area, easy infection, slow recovery, etc.
For doctors in the Department of Thoracic Oncology, every thoracotomy is a complicated war without the smoke of gunpowder!
The lung cancer patient who underwent surgery this time is only in his 30s, still relatively young.
However, the patient's cancer was extensive and had metastasized to the lymph nodes, and even some blood vessels had been eroded by the cancer. This was a tough battle that required open-chest surgery. Unexpectedly, the director of their department directly proposed at the morning meeting to use acupuncture to stop bleeding during the operation.
And he said that this technology has been proven in general surgery and thoracic surgery for a long time...
"Tsk! Director Fan and the others said that it has been verified in the general surgery and thoracic surgery departments, but after all, we only watched a video and haven't even been to the operation site. Who knows whether what they said is true or not?" The chief physician with a crew cut usually follows Jiang Haichao's treatment team. Although he respects the directors and deputy chief physicians of other teams, there is also a sense of competition between them.
Therefore, the attending physician with a crew cut always felt that their group was being squeezed out by the directors and deputy directors of other treatment groups!
"…………" Jiang Haichao didn't say anything, but the displeasure revealed in his eyes also brought out a bit of it.
Although Director Fan's remarks in the classroom yesterday and his exaggerated attitude towards Su Tang made Jiang Haichao feel that this legendary doctor Su might actually be quite skilled in acupuncture and moxibustion for hemostasis.
But this does not mean that this new type of surgery can be started just by showing them a few videos.
Although Jiang Haichao is young, he is only 29 years old this year, but he has been smart since he was young. He skipped several grades in elementary and middle school. In addition, he came to the Sixth Hospital directly after graduating with a doctorate. He has been working in the Sixth Hospital for more than seven years and can be considered a veteran.
But deep down, Jiang Haichao is a person who likes to take steady steps!
In his opinion, to accept such a new surgical method, he should at least wait until he has performed a few similar operations with the director and deputy chief physician of the thoracic surgery department next door and seen their specific operations before trying it out in the oncology operating room. This is the most appropriate way.
Instead of being rushed to the shelves at a morning meeting without even having to wait two weeks.
But Jiang Haichao couldn't say this, at least he couldn't complain openly to other doctors in his team.
After all, he and the directors and deputy directors of other groups meet each other every day. Even today, the other group next door also has this new type of surgery that requires acupuncture and hemostasis.
Whether actively or passively, the department director prepared a total of four acupuncture hemostasis operations today!
Two surgeries in the morning and two in the afternoon. The two surgeries are located in adjacent operating rooms and will start almost at the same time.
Jiang Haichao narrowed his eyes, washed his hands, and stood at the sink. He did not leave immediately, but slowly said: "Whether it is true or not, we will do it seriously during the surgery. We will do it the same way as we did in the past."
"No matter how effective Dr. Su's acupuncture is in stopping bleeding, it will not affect our surgery..."
Jiang Haichao: "As for the silver needles that were inserted during the operation... I have watched the video of the other party. The locations where the needles were inserted were almost all in the limbs and brain areas, especially the soles of the feet and the top of the head, which are almost impossible to touch during the operation. You just need to be a little more careful during the operation, and there shouldn't be any accidents."
Jiang Haichao sighed in his heart, although he was still a little dissatisfied with the director's anxious arrangement of the surgery.
But the director was not wrong. This new surgical method only added an extra step before the operation began. It did not require these doctors to abandon their familiar surgical methods and innovate.
Instead... you just need to be careful to avoid the injection site during the operation, and the operating nurse, anesthesiologist, etc. will remind you to avoid touching the silver needle as much as possible.
"We have to believe in our skills!"
Jiang Haichao said solemnly, "We also have to trust the teamwork among our group. This type of lobectomy is not the first time we have performed it. Before the operation, let Xiao Zhou and a few others confirm the patient's blood type, etc. in case of emergency."
As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up.
As Jiang Haichao, the head of the treatment team, finished speaking, the chief physician with a crew cut, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied, and the others who were also washing their hands nearby, all shut up.
Deputy Director Jiang is right. Even if they don’t trust anyone else, they still have to believe in their own medical skills.
Even if the prelude to the operation has changed a little, the entire operation process, as well as the other medical staff supporting the operation, are people that everyone is familiar with. No matter how difficult the operation is, they will definitely do it well!
Moreover, when many chief and deputy chief doctors perform surgery, not only are they not familiar with the assistants during the operation, they are not familiar with the environment, and even the instruments may not be of the models they are familiar with.
But doesn’t the surgery still need to be done? And it needs to be done beautifully and cleanly!
They are now much better than those doctors who perform flying surgery outside.
With such a mood, several thoracic oncologists, who had washed their hands, walked into the operating room one after another...
However, just as he stepped into the operating room, Jiang Haichao heard bursts of exclamations from the operating room next door.
"Oh my God! ..."
"oh!……"
Even though someone next door lowered their voices later, Jiang Haichao could still hear the gasps coming from the operating room next door!
Jiang Haichao: “…”
Jiang Haichao frowned, a little curious but calm, and just signaled to the circulating nurse next to him: "Go and see what's going on next door. Hasn't their acupuncture and moxibustion to stop the bleeding been completed? When should we start here?"
If Dr. Su from next door doesn't come to see him again, all their efforts will be in vain.
Before each operation, washing hands and keeping them clean and free from contamination is the most basic and most important thing.
"Okay, I'll go right away..." The circulating nurse nodded.
However, before the circulating nurse opened the partition door between the two adjacent operating rooms, the partition door next to it had already been opened. Su Tang walked in front, followed by Director Fan with a smile on his face, and behind them were Director Fan's two interns.
Director Fan was so excited that his face flushed: "Doctor Su, how can the hemostatic acupuncture technique you just used lower a person's body temperature and pulse pressure? This is too magical... I think Doctor Su should really consider changing departments or careers... How about working in the operating room? It's a bit of a waste of talent to work in the general internal medicine department..."
Su Tang waved her hands awkwardly: "Director, I am just a brick. I will be moved wherever I am needed. How can there be any such thing as wasting talent?"
In the past two months, Su Tang had seen many doctors with exaggerated expressions in the operating room. Seeing Director Fan's exaggerated expression, she felt a little embarrassed, but she was almost used to it. She would wait until the end of this year and after the thesis was published.
Su Tang thought that it was time for her to lead her students down this path.
Seeing that Jiang Haichao and others in the operating room had already washed their hands and were ready to wait for her to perform acupuncture on the operating table, Su Tang smiled and nodded at them: "Doctor Jiang, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while in the next room... I will start giving the patient an acupuncture injection now."
The girl was petite, and in her white coat, she looked even more petite and harmless among a group of tall and strong oncologists.
If this harmless little rabbit image was placed outside a hospital, many people would definitely take a second look. But in a serious place like a hospital operating room, it always makes people feel that it is not very reliable.
"...Well...then I'll trouble Doctor Su." Jiang Haichao nodded expressionlessly, trying hard to suppress the worry that was growing in his heart again.
Try your best to remain calm and composed.
However, as Su Tang approached the patient, holding the acupuncture needle that the operating nurse had already prepared, Jiang Haichao kept his eyes fixed on Su Tang!
Verify the patient's name and identity, surgical method and surgical site, and check the patient's current condition.
After checking all the information that needed to be checked before the operation, Su Tang began to perform acupuncture while disinfecting the patient!
Unlike Wei Feng, who needed to relieve cough and pain, stimulate the body's potential and improve immunity, the lung cancer patient in front of him needed to stop bleeding and reduce temperature, reduce the blood flow rate in the body, reduce the risk of surgery, and slow down the speed of blood gathering in the meridians...
The Qie point on the head, the Diji point on the lower limbs, the Jiaoxin point...
As Su Tang inserted needle after needle, skillfully inserting needles into the acupuncture points of the yin meridians that regulate blood and qi, she used the cool needle method to lower the patient's body temperature and induce blood vessel contraction. The lung cancer patient, who was originally lying on the operating table, clearly felt a chill emanating from his body...
The lung cancer patient opened his eyes wide: "This, this, this is..."
He felt as if even his originally nervous and accelerated heartbeat gradually slowed down with the insertion of these silver needles.
The blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature on the ECG monitor were dropping rapidly. If he hadn't been in the operating room and the other doctors in the room hadn't done anything else, the lung cancer patient would have felt like he had been stripped naked and thrown into an ice cave in the middle of summer!
Su Tang did not stop and smiled at the lung cancer patient: "Don't worry... It's just a little bit of preoperative preparation. After the injection, anesthesia will be given before the operation, and then the operation can begin."
Lung cancer patient: “…………??!”
You call this a little bit of pre-operative preparation?
Don’t think that just because I’m not a medical student, I don’t have many friends and relatives who have gone to the operating room for surgery!
Who would suddenly feel cold all over before surgery?
But Su Tang said it calmly, and the other medical staff around the room did not make any strange or surprised sounds.
The lung cancer patient lying on the operating board and looking at the ceiling always feels that it seems a bit too much to be surprised in front of so many medical staff.
“…………” The lung cancer patient’s face turned red and he kept his mouth shut.
In fact, what lung cancer patients don’t know is that it’s not that Jiang Haichao and his colleagues were silent or surprised, but that several doctors in Jiang Haichao’s group in the Department of Thoracic Oncology were so surprised that their eyes widened and they were completely speechless!
Jiang Haichao, in particular, stared closely at the ECG monitor, which changed from a green safety value to a red warning value.
Jiang Haichao's eyes widened: Damn! Whose acupuncture stopped bleeding and my heart rate dropped from 96 to 55? ! Even the body temperature, which was originally 36.8, dropped to 35.1! The blood pressure dropped from 120/86 to 82/52! Is there such a way to stop bleeding by acupuncture? !
Jiang Haichao cursed in his heart, but looking at Director Fan's happy smile as if he had won a lottery, Jiang Haichao silently shut his mouth and said nothing.
"Okay... I've taken care of it here, you can start the next step of preoperative preparation." After Su Tang inserted the last needle, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Haichao: “…………”
Several doctors with crew cuts: “…………”
The other party is so nonchalant, it feels weird and ignorant for them to be so surprised...
However……
When Jiang Haichao and his team got on the operating table and then came down from it, they watched the operation and found that the amount of bleeding was obviously much less than that of a normal open chest lobectomy.
Jiang Haichao looked at the chief physician with a crew cut, then at Su Tang, trying to suppress the throbbing in his chest, and said seriously, "Doctor Su...are you really not considering changing your career? Or talk to the hospital about staying in the operating room or the emergency department in the future?"
"You are really wasting your talent in general internal medicine..." This time, Jiang Haichao wholeheartedly agreed with Director Fan's thoughts.
Su Tang: “…………???”
Doctor Jiang? What's wrong with you, Doctor Jiang?
I clearly remember that you were not like this yesterday when you were in class at the physical examination center! Weren’t you full of disapproval at that time? ?
You have to hold on, Dr. Jiang?! Didn’t you see that Director Fan is getting ready to make another move?
Jiang Haichao: "How about I lend Xiao Yang to your department? You can stay in the operating room for two more days a week."
Su Tang: “…………”
Doctor Xiao Yang with a crew cut: “…………”
Deputy Director Jiang, I am your first assistant in surgery! How can you give up on me? Are you going to promote Xiao Zhou, the second assistant?
…………
Spending two days in the operating room a week is already Su Tang's limit, so it is naturally impossible for her to agree with the opinions of Director Fan and Jiang Haichao. Whether in the outpatient clinic or the inpatient department, there are several patients waiting for her at home every day. How can she spend all her time in the operating room?
However, Su Tang didn't have to think too long and left the operating room that afternoon.
Su Tang's cell phone started buzzing.
I took out my cell phone and opened it to see that the local officials and the Meteorological Bureau had issued a typhoon forecast for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Su Tang blinked and said nothing. There is a typhoon season in Shenzhen every year, but sometimes the typhoons are very small and sometimes they are very strong.
Su Tang flipped through the text messages on her phone and was a little surprised: "A super typhoon of level 16?"
Xiao Zhao and his friend also saw the text message. They frowned and said, "Doctor Su, the typhoon is so strong that it is not safe to go back and forth every day... We suggest that during the typhoon period, Doctor Su can bring some clothes and stay in the hospital."
As bodyguards, Xiao Zhao and his companions prioritize the safety of their employer.
"Okay, I'll prepare my clothes and go to the hospital."
Living in a coastal city, Su Tang has experienced many typhoons since childhood. Every time such a thing happened, the school would give students a holiday. Now that he works in a hospital, it is naturally impossible to take a holiday, but living in the hospital is not a problem, especially since there are fewer people in the general internal medicine department and there is still room for him to live.
However...
Su Tang touched his chin and sighed in his heart. He didn't know how many people would be injured by this super typhoon.
In a major natural disaster like this, human resources are often very limited.
