Chapter 1327: Chapter 524: Taking the Lead at the Operating Table, Lingering Fear
"Isn’t this an away game!"
Zhou Can chuckled awkwardly and prepared to raise his hand to scratch his head, but then realized he was wearing gloves and needed to maintain sterility, so he put his hand back down.
Actually, with the headgear on, he couldn’t possibly scratch his head.
The status of the anesthesiologist is quite high, let alone Ming Xin, who is Xiang Fei’s mentor and thus has an even higher status. Zhou Can wouldn’t dare to upset this female powerhouse.
Taking the chance to save Deputy Director Lu, he had the good fortune to meet several big names from the Provincial People’s Hospital, which he greatly cherished.
Those who were willing to bring their team into this operating room were basically like-minded individuals. To save the patient’s life, they were willing to take great risks.
This medical ethics is extremely noble.
Zhou Can especially wished to connect with this type of medical personnel.
Accumulating small streams results in a mighty river. Only by uniting more like-minded doctors and nurses can we truly grow strong in the future. This is also a kind of accumulation of networking resources.
"What does it matter if it’s home or away? Inviting you to participate in the surgery means you weren’t treated as an outsider. In rescuing, everyone is like a crew in the same boat; at dangerous moments, everyone has the duty to exercise a spirit of ownership."
Director Ming Xin, probably quite startled, grabbed Zhou Can for another round of reprimand before stopping.
However, she didn’t have any malicious intent.
Getting reprimanded in the operating room by senior doctors or circulating nurses is extremely normal. There have even been incidents where the chief surgeon and the anesthesiologist argued fiercely in the operating room.
Everyone is aiming for better patient treatment, different in thought but united in goal.
"That’s what you said! So, could I be bold enough to ask Director Gou to also assign me the task for the subsequent operation?" Zhou Can looked at Director Gou Qiong.
In laparoscopic surgery, Director Gou is the chief surgeon, having the highest authority.
"No problem, I’ll assist you, and if there are issues I’ll stop immediately. When operating, if you feel the risk is too high, definitely discuss it with me beforehand." Director Gou Qiong, having observed Zhou Can’s magical Hemostasis Skill and Anastomosis, obviously had a lot more trust in him.
While granting freedom, he didn’t forget to put on a ’tight rein’ to prevent Zhou Can from causing trouble.
Perhaps still feeling it was not quite safe, he turned to look at Director Wu Yongming outside.
"Old Wu, help me keep an eye on things as well, ensure nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, we all won’t be able to explain."
"Alright!"
Director Wu Yongming agreed promptly without any unnecessary words.
He moved to stand beside Zhou Can.
With these two safeguards, Director Gou felt much more reassured.
The surgery continued.
Zhou Can manipulated the endoscope to quickly repair the ruptured spleen.
Which human organ would be considered the most fragile?
Brain tissue cannot be considered an organ; it must be one of the most fragile body tissues. The spleen is the most fragile among all organs. Even the kidneys of the human body are much more robust.
As for the commonly recognized eyes, this organ is actually one of the relatively durable organs of the human body.
Just because the vitreous body and cornea are tender and most of the time directly exposed on the surface, it is thought by the public to be fragile.
The eyes’ endurance, impact resistance, are actually much stronger than we imagine.
Spleen repair greatly tests a doctor’s stitching and ligation skills.
Luckily, Zhou Can’s Ligation Skill had advanced to Level 6, otherwise repairing the spleen would have been much more difficult.
You could see him maneuvering the endoscope arm to debride, stitch, and tie knots on the patient’s spleen, the whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, with a speed astonishingly fast, earning constant admiration from the spectators.
In less than ten minutes, Zhou Can had completed the repair of the spleen.
It looked like a piece of broken porcelain, now perfectly restored and presented before everyone. Simply impeccable.
The difficulty of surgical repairs by a surgeon is far greater than porcelain repairs.
Because no matter how shattered porcelain is, the challenge lies in piecing it together, testing patience and meticulousness. Human organs are living entities; after repair one must ensure their survival and recover most if not all of that organ’s functions.
Among them, there are numerous technical challenges.
"The spleen repair is basically completed. In postoperative care, attention must be paid to the patient’s spleen for at least one week, allowing it as much rest and recuperation as possible. It cannot be idle, nor excessively strained."
After completing the spleen repair, Zhou Can spoke to the circulating nurse.
This also counts as an oral medical advice.
No matter how well a surgery is performed, without proper care and nutrition, it’s all wasted.
Having performed so many surgeries in the Emergency Department, Zhou Can discovered that postoperative care and nutrition are extremely important when reviewing inpatient surgery recovery.
Errors in care, or inadequate/unreasonable nutrition, will all lead to increased risk of postoperative complications.
The postoperative healing cycle can also be significantly extended.
"Teacher Lian, do record what Dr. Zhou instructed well, it must be executed properly." Director Gou Qiong noticed the circulating nurse seemed to not take Zhou Can seriously, and quickly interjected.
In terms of postoperative care and nutritional support, Tuya Hospital could be considered top-tier within the province.
Perhaps only the Provincial Children’s Hospital could match Tuya Hospital in this regard.
Actually, each provincial tertiary hospital has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Tu Ya’s strength in nursing stems from its original establishment as the Women’s Hospital, mostly specializing in treating officials’ wives, daughters of the powerful, and providing postpartum care.
