Chapter 699 - Burning His Life
After a simple and detailed record, Liu Xuzhi was sent to the emergency operating theater for wound debridement and suturing. His injury...could not even be considered an injury. Although he had almost injured his tendon and it would definitely leave an ugly scar in the future, it was really nothing compared to the general situation of things. Disinfection, anesthesia, and suturing. Half an hour later, his arm was wrapped with layers of gauze as he walked out of the emergency operating theater. "Go and rest. It's been hard on you these past few days." The doctor who sutured him was very polite. These people who came down from the frontline and were injured were all worthy of respect. "I want to ask about something. Where is the interventional surgery room?"Liu Xuzhi asked. "Hmm?" "I'm an interventional surgeon. I'll go and see if there's anything I can help with," Liu Xuzhi said. The doctor from the emergency department frowned and said seriously, "You'll sweat a lot if you wear a lead apron during surgery. Be careful of infection." "No worries." Liu Xuzhi smiled foolishly. "I'll just need a saline drip and some anti-inflammatory drugs. It's not a big deal." Seeing that Liu Xuzhi insisted, the doctor from the emergency department showed him the way and then went back to work. This place was really different. It was completely different from what Liu Xuzhi had imagined. As he had expected, the corridor should be filled with patients waiting for triage. It was supposed to be messy and chaotic. However, what Liu Xuzhi saw was an orderly triage. The lightly injured were placed in tents outside. Some of the seriously injured were pushed to the operating theater in Pengxi village while the others were sent to Chengdu by ambulance. He saw many young people in suits busying themselves. From the looks of it, they should be white-collar workers from the city, very smart and capable people. Their actions were also very methodical. There was not a hint of panic or confusion in them. 'Looks like things aren't bad,' Liu Xuzhi praised in his heart. Even in Horqin Right Middle Banner of Inner Mongolia, they would not be so strict and organized during such a large-scale rescue. Amazing, amazing! Liu Xuzhi followed the guidance of the doctors from the emergency department all the way to the interventional surgery. At the entrance of the operating theater was a simple small ward. A few nurses were changing the drip for the wounded, and there were volunteers taking care of the wounded. Liu Xuzhi felt a little strange. Couldn't they send the patient to the ward? Did they have to do the drip here? No matter what, the conditions here were not as good as the ward. While he was thinking, a stretcher trolley was pushed out. A doctor held a transparent folder in his hand. He put a piece of paper inside and placed it on the body of the patient after the surgery. Then, he told the volunteer where to send the patient before pushing the stretcher trolley that was carrying the next seriously injured patient directly into the operating theater. This efficiency...was really amazing. When Liu Xuzhi saw that he was about to enter the operating theater, he immediately shouted. "Who is it? What's the matter?" The doctor answered loudly but did not delay the delivery of the seriously injured person into the operating theater. This place had already become an assembly line for surgeries, and its efficiency was extremely high. The doctor who pushed the patient did not dare to delay. The surgeries inside were all done crazily. Once any part of the surgery went awry, Chief Jiang who had always had a good temper would curse. The surgeries had been going on for two days and one night. The few surgeons did not know how to feel tired. They only ate some food intermittently and took turns to rest. Surgery had never been delayed. Therefore, Chief Jiang became even more stern. In his opinion, the doctors who supported him were working hard, and there was no reason for him and the doctors under him to slack off. Although everyone was extremely tired, they gritted their teeth and persevered. Liu Xuzhi jogged a few steps and his entire body ached. "Hello, I'm an interventional doctor who came from the frontline. I'm here to see if there's anything I can help you with," Liu Xuzhi quickly explained. "Chief Jiang, a doctor has come!" The young doctor said loudly. It seemed that this was the only way he would not fall asleep. Chief Jiang raised his head and glanced at Liu Xuzhi. He asked, "Which hospital are you from? What kind of surgery can you perform? Have you filed a report with Director Lin?" "I'm from a second-class hospital, Horqin Right Middle Banner of Inner Mongolia. I know how to perform surgeries but my skills are average. I can help as an assistant and replace the surgeon to take a break. As for filing a report... I haven't done that yet," Liu Xuzhi said. He was the kind of person who knew how to act. He did not want to be competitive, so he directly said that he only intended to be a substitute. As for filing a report, he did not expect a township-level hospital to be so formal. Chief Jiang nodded and said, "Then I'll file the case for you. Doctor Zheng, do you want to rest for a while? Someone else is coming." "There's no need." An ethereal voice came from the operating theater. "I'm fine. How many patients with pelvic fractures are there?" "Three! The rest are done!" When Chief Jiang said this, he was also a little absent-minded. He had never thought that he would be able to complete a huge number of patients. However, the truth was obvious after two days and one night, More than a hundred surgeries were completed just like that. Even if there were more patients sent down from the frontline and the patients who piled up were like a small dam, all surgeries had already been completed so Chief Jiang had nothing to worry about. "Tell Uncle Ning that if there are any patients who need to be amputated, he can send a few over. I'll do the embolectomy in a while." Zheng Ren's voice was very soft and floated in the air. It was obvious that he was too tired. "Doctor Zheng, please sleep for a while. I beg you." Chief Jiang stood at the entrance of the operating theater and bowed repeatedly without caring about his image. He had a pleading look on his face. Liu Xuzhi was dumbfounded. What was going on? "There's no need. I can handle a few more," Zheng Ren said. "That's what you said six hours ago," Chief Jiang almost cried. He was dr.a.p.ed in lead clothes. He did the surgery for dozens of hours without rest or sleep. No one else would be able to continue operating under such conditions. In the operating room next door, two people had already taken turns to rest during the later part of the surgery. Mu Tao and Su Yun could not endure it anymore. Only in this operating room did Zheng Ren quietly perform the surgery after he chased Chief Chen away. Each surgery did not take more than fifteen minutes. Including the time needed to move the patients, there were four surgeries done in an hour. This kind of high speed was maintained all the time, and it did not decrease because of physical fatigue. Chief Jiang did not know how long Doctor Zheng could last. Perhaps in the next second, he would faint. However, at least he was still trying. "Bring the patients up. Don't use your energy on this." Zheng Ren lowered his head. He did not even have the strength to tear off the sterile clothes. He stood beside the medical trash can and had a volunteer take off the sterile clothes for him. Liu Xuzhi was dumbfounded. He whispered, "Doctor Zheng, I'm also involved in this. I can conduct one surgery for you. Please take a rest first." "Okay. You can be my assistant." Zheng Ren turned around to brush his hands and drank a few mouthfuls of water. He did not dare to drink too much water. He was afraid that he would have to pee. He only drank a few mouthfuls to maintain the moisture in his mouth. During this period of time, he drank three energy drinks. However, its effects seemed to be weakening. Zheng Ren did not know how long he could last but since he could still perform the surgery, he would do it. The surgery had gone crazy. He burned his life, completing one surgery after another as he saved one patient after another.
Chapter 700 - Comparison (Part One)
Chief Jiang's request was ignored by Zheng Ren. Liu Xuzhi was also stunned as he watched the airtight lead door slowly close. He did not understand what had happened. Was he really fine in such a state? Moreover, he had just said that he could perform surgery for Doctor Zheng inside so that he could take a break. It seemed that he had been directly ignored... Liu Xuzhi's state of mind was good. This was because in his own hospital, he was invisible. He had long been ignored. If someone really valued him, he would feel very uncomfortable. Bu
t at this time, weren't there more people? How could he do more? He was a little puzzled and looked at Chief Jiang. As the airtight lead door slowly closed, Chief Jiang shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply. Liu Xuzhi changed his shoes and walked to Chief Jiang's side. He asked in a low voice, "Chief Jiang, what's the situation?" "Doctor Zheng has been performing surgeries for more than thirty hours," Chief Jiang said. "Sigh, he won't come down no matter what. I'm really afraid..." Liu Xuzhi knew what Chief Jiang was trying to imply. Although he did not understand the situation but under normal circ.u.mstances, his condition would not be good after performing surgeries for more than thirty hours. Medical accidents could happen at any time. He should take a break. Sharpening a knife did not delay cutting firewood. This was the principle. However, Chief Jiang only begged...but did not directly pull Doctor Zheng down. What was going on? "It's Doctor Liu, right?" Chief Jiang asked. "Yes, my name is Liu Xuzhi. You can call me Little Liu." "Doctor Liu, you keep an eye on Doctor Zheng's room. If there's anything, call me immediately. I have too many things to do outside." Chief Jiang had no choice as there were lots of things going on here. The patients waiting for surgery outside were all critically ill. If they were not careful, they would die. They were not at ease leaving it to the junior doctor. Chief Jiang would only feel at ease if he watched over. "I'll try my best. If Doctor Zheng makes a mistake during the surgery, I'll inform him immediately..." Chief Jiang immediately interrupted Liu Xuzhi halfway. "I'm not asking you to watch the surgery. Doctor Zheng performed the surgery exceptionally well. I'm asking you to watch him. Make sure that he doesn't faint," Chief Jiang said. Uh... Was that so? Liu Xuzhi was stunned. After he finished speaking, Chief Jiang stood up and began to patrol around, afraid that something would go wrong. The current situation was different from usual. Usually, half of his mind was thinking about saving the patient, and the other half was that he must not be implicated if there were any problems. At this moment, Chief Jiang's mind was filled with the need to save the patient. The main force entered the mountain and suffered heavy casualties. Doctor Zheng, Professor Mu, and the unbelievably beautiful Doctor Su, who had gone through a lot of trouble to pull out the seriously injured, had to undergo surgery like dogs. He must not be careless. Chief Jiang had not slept for a long time but still forced himself to be alert and reminded himself to be careful in dealing with everything. Liu Xuzhi was still in good spirits. He changed his clothes and entered the operating room. The screen in the operating room was lit up. When Liu Xuzhi entered, he immediately saw the image on the screen. He was stunned. It was as if all the blood in his body had frozen When was the last time he encountered such a situation? It seemed to be when he was watching Xinglin Garden's live surgery broadcast where the superior mesenteric artery was embolized, causing an artificial artery to be embolized. It was a general resection after ischemia and necrosis. The surgery was done well and it made people's blood boil. But this time... Liu Xuzhi saw the image of the surgery almost completed. How long had it been? It was impossible for an interventional embolization of a pelvic fracture to be completed so quickly. No, it must have been image data on the machine from the previous surgery. Liu Xuzhi quickly found a reasonable explanation and smiled sheepishly. He was too tired. He was so tired that he was muddled. How could he think that the surgery was completed? The airtight lead door of the operating theater was closed. He spoke a few words to Chief Jiang before he went to change into the isolation suit. It had only been ten minutes since then? He estimated that at most, only ten minutes had passed. Even if it was a person from Xinglin Garden's live surgery broadcast, he would not be able to finish the surgery so quickly. Liu Xuzhi greatly admired the people from Xinglin Garden's live surgery broadcast. No matter what, he would subconsciously compare everyone to them. It wouldn't happen. Such a thing was impossible. He composed himself and walked to the operating table. His footsteps were heavy as if they were weighed down with lead. He could not move at all. This was because Liu Xuzhi saw the image in front of the operating table moving. The microwires inside did not stop at all as they entered a blood vessel that had a tricky angle and was extremely difficult to select. His standards were very high. Liu Xuzhi subconsciously compared the surgeries to the one in Xinglin Garden's live broadcast room. Doctor Zheng's surgery was even better than his idol. Liu Xuzhi was certain of this after only watching for a few seconds. It was impossible... How was this possible? Liu Xuzhi, who respected the surgeon from Xinglin Garden's live broadcast room like a god, wholeheartedly did not believe it. He quietly came to the operating table and did not sit down. He held the operating table with both hands. While he watched the image on the screen, he used the corner of his eye to look through the leaded glass to see Zheng Ren's surgery. He was sure that the image and procedure were the same. This was a real surgery, and the person inside had already endured for thirty-six hours. Before that, Liu Xuzhi did not know how much longer he had endured. Anyway, the person was definitely not operating at his peak right now. He was just operating on instinct. The surgery had already been practiced to the bone. Every step of the super-selected movements had become the body's memory, engraved into the muscles and bones. When it came to the surgery, there was no need to think about it at all. That couldn't be... How could there be someone who had a higher level of skill than the person in Xinglin Garden's live broadcasting room? Liu Xuzhi was not ignorant. In addition to watching Xinglin Garden's live broadcast, he had also seen many videos of international interventional surgeries performed by powerful individuals. Compared to the highest level of skill, the surgery in Xinglin Garden could also be called a top-notch surgery. However, even if the surgery in the live broadcast room had almost no flaws in his memory, there was no way for it to be compared to the surgery in front of him. Super selection, embolism, super selection, embolism. It was as if the surgeon was only mechanically repeating a certain action. Any difficult blood vessels were like floating clouds in front of him. This... If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Liu Xuzhi would not have believed it at all. It was no wonder that when he proposed to replace the surgeon in front of him to perform a surgery, the surgeon only ignored him. The other person could perform surgery for fifteen minutes at most but if it were Liu Xuzhi, he would need at least four hours. This was the difference between heaven and earth. Uh... For people who could not do such a thing... Was there any meaning in competing with them? Seeing the small details, Liu Xuzhi could imagine the surgeon's other surgical skills. They were even better than the surgeons in Xinglin Garden's live broadcast room! Liu Xuzhi instinctively wanted to argue for the surgeons in Xinglin Garden's live broadcast room. He began to look for the flaws of the surgeon in the operating room through the leaded glass. However, before he could take a closer look, the surgery had already ended. The surgeon even skipped the postoperative angiography. They just withdrew the tubes and roared, "Next!"
