Chapter 470: Sea City General Hospital’s Operating Theatre Was Too Small
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Yun was suturing the skin on the other side. Zheng Ren said something and turned around to leave.
The patient’s condition was very serious. As the surgeon and Chief Resident who directed the resuscitation, Zheng Ren had to communicate with the family.
Wearing his isolation suit, Zheng Ren left the operating theater.
Chief Physician Pan stood in the hall where the family was waiting for the surgery to be done. There was a nurse with a first-aid kit beside him.
This was because he was worried that the patient’s parents would have their own accident. Zheng Ren sighed in his heart. He felt sorry for the parents.
When he saw Zheng Ren come out, Chief Physician Pan did not move. Instead, he looked straight at Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren blinked his eyes and gave him a thumbs-up with his right hand.
When he saw Zheng Ren’s thumbs-up, Chief Physician Pan heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly went forward and asked, “How was it?”
His voice was loud like a bell.
“We’ll send him to the ICU later.” Zheng Ren took off his sterile mask and smiled. “The operation went smoothly, but the patient’s injuries are more serious. It’s hard to say what will happen after that.”
This was all standard procedure, so Chief Pan was naturally familiar with it. In fact, his judgment of the patient was that it would difficult for him to leave the operating theatre alive, so his explanation had been pessimistic at most.
When the patient’s parents rushed over, they were shocked when they heard that the steel bar had penetrated his body. Especially when they heard the neighbor’s description of the scene, the patient’s mother was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.
The poor parents. Who would be able to stand it if they heard that?
Chief Pan was worried that there would be an accident. After signing the papers and going through the admission procedures, he brought his family members and waited at the operating theatre’s entrance. Chief Pan even asked a nurse to quickly carry a first-aid kit and follow him. He was afraid that there would be more complications and accidents while they waited.
However, he did not expect the rescue to be successful!
Chief Physician Pan was also very happy. He had encountered similar incidents in the past where patients had died.
Even he did not expect Zheng Ren’s standard of resuscitation to be so high that the patient could actually be saved!
“Go and tell the patient’s family about the surgery,” Chief Physician Pan said.
Zheng Ren took a glance. A few other women were accompanying a lady whose face was pale. The woman was leaning on a hard red plastic chair. Even her breathing was shallow.
The patient’s father stood behind Chief Pan. His hands and feet were trembling, his tears flowing uncontrollably. However, he did not realize it at all. He tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to make his vision clearer so that he could see Zheng Ren and Chief Pan clearly while listening to their conversation.
“You’re the patient’s father, right?” Zheng Ren asked as he nodded and took two steps forward.
His voice was stuck in his throat. He tried to speak twice but failed. He could only nod his head.
“The patient’s resuscitation was successful, but he’s still in critical condition. The critical period is about three to five days. If he can make it, he’ll be fine. However, there are no guarantees whether he will recover or not,” Zheng Ren said.
Hearing Zheng Ren say that the resuscitation was successful, the patient’s father finally saw hope. He nodded repeatedly, his tears spilling everywhere.
“The injury was very serious. The steel bar went through the a.n.u.s and damaged the r.e.c.t.u.m, colon, stomach, diaphragm, and lungs. But fortunately, the major blood vessels were not damaged, so they could be saved. The central nervous system was not damaged either. If he can survive the critical period, then his quality of life in the future should not be greatly affected.”
The frequency of the patient’s father nodding increased. The somber aura on his face gradually dissipated as there was now a glimmer of hope.
“In a while, the doctors in the ICU will be looking for you to sign a notice of critical illness. They will explain the relevant matters to you in detail.”
“Yes, yes.” The patient’s father tried his best to say ‘yes’ twice to express his grat.i.tude to Zheng Ren.
At this moment, the door of the operating theater opened. Yang Lei ran out to call for an elevator. After pressing the elevator b.u.t.ton, Yang Lei made a call. A stretcher trolley was pushed out after that. Chu Yanran stood beside it, holding the ball.
The patient was sent out of the operating theater, heading straight to the ICU.
The patient’s parents followed behind with tears in their eyes.
Zheng Ren finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Chief Physician Pan.
“Was it very heavy?” Chief Pan asked.
“It’s especially heavy,” Zheng Ren said.
“Not bad then!” Chief Pan patted Zheng Ren on the shoulder. He used a lot of force, feeling just like a slap.
Zheng Ren smiled and reported to Chief Pan, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll be attending to the professor’s patient. There’s nothing to attend to, right?”
“You can publicize it, but there’s no need for that anymore,” Chief Physician Pan said. “Only junior doctors need publicity, but you’re no longer a junior doctor.”
“I’ll always be the junior doctor under you,” Zheng Ren said seriously.
“Haha!” Chief Physician Pan was a little pleased with himself. He felt very comfortable being flattered by Zheng Ren.
However, Chief Physician Pan knew that Zheng Ren was only saying that to make him happy.
A few months pa.s.sed by swiftly. Chief Physician Pan clearly realized that even if Zheng Ren wanted to stay, he would not allow it.
Staying here would only hinder his chances in the future.
Sea City General Hospital’s operating theatre was too small for Zheng Ren.
“Oh right, Chief Physician Pan, I might have to go to The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University soon.” Zheng Ren recalled the incident with Gao Shaojie and reported it to Chief Physician Pan.
“Oh? Is it another freelance surgery?” Chief Physician Pan asked.
“Yes. Teacher Gao from the Department of Interventional Surgery wants to learn TIPS surgery from me but couldn’t really comprehend my methods after seeing it just once. I was thinking of going there to do it a few more times as it would be best if he could learn from me,” Zheng Ren said frankly.
It was less worrisome to talk to Chief Pan, so he usually did not pay attention to the details of what he told him.
Chief Pan was stunned at first, but he immediately understood. He smiled and said, “What about the Capital? When are you going there?”
“I’m waiting for Chief Kong’s letter. I haven’t contacted him recently.”
“You have to keep in touch. It’s your future.” After Chief Pan said that, he hesitated for a moment. “Perhaps it might not be your future, but it’s definitely one of the stepping stones to get there. It’s always a good thing to keep in touch with people.”
If others heard the conversation between Zheng Ren and Chief Pan, they would be shocked.
However, Chief Pan said these things sincerely and Zheng Ren did not care. There were some things that could not be denied.
“Be a bit more attentive toward the young patient,” Chief Pan said. “I think his parents are quite pitiful. Why did something like this happen?”
“I’m not as good as Su Yun when it comes to serious cases. I’ll get Su Yun to keep an eye on him,” Zheng Ren said seriously.
At this point, there was nothing to say. When they reached the second floor, Zheng Ren returned to the emergency ward while Chief Physician Pan returned to the Department Chief’s office to take charge of the emergency department.
In the office, Chang Yue and Zhong Min were busy.
As Lu Tianran was temporarily transferred to first-aid emergency treatment, the burden on the two of them became heavier.
However, there was nothing to complain about. It was the same no matter where they were. The nurses still had one thing to look forward to. They could stay on duty until they were 35 years old. However, the doctors had nothing to look forward to at all unless they gave up their future, stopped working hard, and went to the out-patient clinic to retire.
The out-patient clinic had a quota of 100 patients a day. However, it was fortunate that they did not have to work night s.h.i.+fts. Therefore, the compet.i.tion for working in out-patient clinics was very fierce.
A few years ago, there was even a doctor who received the notice of being transferred back to the in-patient department from the out-patient department. The doctor went straight to the Chief’s office with a kitchen knife.
It did not matter where he was.
After Zheng Ren was done with his work, he sat down to catch his breath and prepared to go and see the young patient later.
Just as he sat down, a couple knocked on the door of the emergency ward’s office.
