Inside the meeting room.
Su Zhengnan smiled and glanced at the surgeons present, then said:
"I don't need to introduce my personal situation to you all, right? Although I'm just a doctor on temporary assignment in our department, I've been in our hospital for more than half a year, so you should all know me a little!"
"You should know that I, Su Zhengnan, never offer treatment plans that I'm not confident about."
"Regarding the patient's injuries, I think you are all well aware that if brain and chest surgeries can be performed simultaneously, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the patient's recovery."
"Therefore, I still hope that you can seriously consider that I will be the chief surgeon for this operation. I can guarantee that the brain and chest surgery can be completed simultaneously."
What do you all think?
As they listened to Su Zhengnan's account, the surgeons present fell into deep thought.
A short while later.
Dr. Chen, sitting on the right, couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Su, we certainly trust your medical skills, but if you're going to complete two surgeries within the time it takes to perform one surgery, how confident are you?"
"Yes, Dr. Su, we trust your medical skills, but how confident are you about the success of this surgery?"
Beside him, another surgeon couldn't help but ask.
Clearly, everyone still has great trust in Su Zhengnan's medical skills.
However, this surgical procedure is not like traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis. Without absolute certainty, even the slightest mistake could cause the patient to die on the operating table.
This is not a consequence they are willing to bear.
Of course, this is assuming that Su Zhengnan is indeed confident in completing two surgeries within the time limit of one surgery.
This is actually very beneficial for their Third People's Hospital.
Su Zhengnan smiled and glanced at everyone, then replied earnestly:
"I am 100% confident that I can do this surgery well, but the premise is that I must be the lead surgeon, and you all will be my first and second assistants."
"this....."
Doctor Chen and the others exchanged glances, then whispered among themselves and discussed the matter.
Ultimately, considering the patient's condition and the fact that Su Zhengnan's medical skills were indeed superior to theirs, everyone spoke up:
"Since you're so confident, Dr. Su, we're happy to assist you. But how exactly should this surgery be performed?"
"Yes, if we perform this surgery as you suggested, Dr. Su, there are many aspects that we won't be able to coordinate!"
"Actually, performing two surgeries at the same time is not difficult. The difficulty lies in ensuring that the patient can walk off the operating table safely. Judging from the patient's current injuries, he simply cannot survive until the end of the surgery."
"Yes, yes, if we follow Dr. Su's instructions for this surgery, it will be extremely difficult!"
"The key is how to maintain the patient's vital signs during surgery."
"Then let's discuss this surgical plan!"
Su Zhengnan picked up where everyone left off, smiling as he looked around at them and said:
"The patient's intracranial hemorrhage was quite severe, but it had not yet compressed any important nerves. The chest injury was also very serious, with multiple fractures and lung contusions."
"So our first priority is to address the intracranial hemorrhage, while also taking care to protect the patient's lungs."
"Because brain and chest surgery will be performed simultaneously, the operation will take a long time, so we need to prepare enough plasma. I can handle the anesthesia, so there is no need to worry about any side effects during the operation."
"......."
After everyone agreed that Su Zhengnan would be the surgeon.
The surgical discussion lasted for more than an hour, and the surgical plan and precautions to be taken during the operation were finally determined.
After listening to Su Zhengnan's surgical plan, Dr. Chen and others...
Each one seemed like another possibility for surgery, and the worries in my heart instantly disappeared.
Dr. Chen was the first to step forward and said, "I didn't expect Dr. Su to be so proficient in surgery. He's probably even more skilled than those of us who frequently perform surgeries. Let's proceed with Dr. Su's proposed plan!"
"Okay, we support Dr. Su's surgical plan and agree that he should be the lead surgeon."
Several surgeons who came to participate in the operation raised their hands in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiang nodded and said:
"Okay, since you all agree, I'll go and talk to the patient's family. You can take Dr. Su to do the pre-operative preparations first!"
After saying that, Zhu Jiang turned to Su Zhengnan and gestured before getting up to go and talk to the patient's family.
Su Zhengnan then got up and followed the other surgeons present to the sterilization room to change into surgical gowns, ready to start operating on patients at any time.
About half an hour later.
Zhu Jiangcai returned and said to Su Zhengnan and the others:
"The patient's family has given their consent, and we can prepare to begin the surgery."
Su Zhengnan nodded, took a deep breath, and followed everyone into the operating room.
Soon, the patient was moved from the ICU to the operating room.
Su Zhengnan stepped forward, grabbed the patient's wrist to examine it again, then took out his silver needles to disinfect them, preparing to administer acupuncture anesthesia to the patient.
At least the silver needles in his hand had a healing effect of +5.
Compared to disposable silver needles used in hospitals.
Su Zhengnan felt that the silver needles awarded by the system were more reliable.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
After the silver needles were disinfected, Su Zhengnan immediately inserted them to administer acupuncture anesthesia to the patient.
Although the patient is currently in a coma.
But anesthesia is still necessary, otherwise, if any accidents happen during the surgery, people could die.
Su Zhengnan inserted the needles quickly and accurately, and the acupuncture anesthesia was achieved in just over ten minutes.
Subsequently, anesthesia was tested.
Su Zhengnan skillfully operated the scalpel, first cutting open the patient's chest, and then performing surgery on the fractured areas and lungs inside the patient's chest.
His movements were skillful, and he handled the scalpel with ease.
Su Zhengnan first carefully cleared the blood clots in the patient's chest cavity and repaired the damaged lung tissue, and then repositioned the fractured area.
He wielded all the surgical instruments that Western surgeons used with ease.
Even Dr. Chen and the others who were assisting with the surgery were dazzled and could hardly believe their eyes.
"I never imagined Dr. Su's surgical skills were so amazing!"
"It seems we've been looking at the world from the bottom of a well!"
"A traditional Chinese medicine doctor can perform surgery better than all of us professional surgeons?"
The surgeons who were assisting couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
They were the experts in surgery, but they felt an indescribable sense of frustration when faced with the surgery performed by Su Zhengnan.
Su Zhengnan's superb surgical skills and proficient operation forced them to admit their shortcomings.
Over the years, they have focused on the field of Western medicine surgery, but they never expected that a traditional Chinese medicine doctor could perform such a complex operation so well.
Perhaps they really should reflect on this.
As surgeons, are they too fixated on traditional Western medical concepts and neglecting other possibilities?
Time passed second by second.
The surgery was proceeding tensely. Su Zhengnan dared not delay for a moment. After successfully completing the chest surgery, he immediately took the craniotomy saw handed to him by the second assistant and began to open the patient's skull.
Sizzle sizzle.....
A burst of sparks and lightning flashed as the patient's skull was slit open.
Then, Su Zhengnan focused on carefully removing the hematoma and exudate from the patient's brain, and then meticulously sutured the wound.
Outside the operating room, the patient's family waited anxiously.
This surgery will take at least three hours; otherwise, it simply cannot be completed.
