The relationship between the doctor and the patient's family is delicate, and with the development of the times, the relationship between the two has also become more complicated.
Under Pan Gui's scolding, the ambulance of Huangpi District Hospital had to take the patient to the Provincial People's Hospital. The police sirens roared into Hankou and passed the Yangtze River Bridge.
The space in this ambulance is not as large as that of our hospital ambulance. Professor Zheng stuffed my mobile phone into my hand and started to check Qingqing. Pan Gui was invited by the nurse to stay near the back door. I couldn’t help it. Looking towards Qingqing, her face was pale, her hair was scattered, and she was wearing an oxygen mask.
The phone vibrated suddenly, so I hurriedly took it out and asked Professor Zheng to check it.
"There is an incoming call, you can answer it for me!" Professor Zheng, who is busy, told me.
But I don’t know how to answer it? Before, I didn't even know what the phone was, let alone how to use it, so I had to ask Pan Gui for help, but he also didn't know.
The doctor from the district hospital cast a contemptuous look at both of us, and then signaled: "Press the green button and you can answer!"
I found the green button marked by the microphone, and after pressing it, I heard Zheng Xiumin's questioning voice: "Uncle, where are you? Why can't I see the ambulance?"
"Speak to the phone and she can hear it!" Professor Zheng ordered.
I hurriedly put my phone in front of me and said, "Sergeant Zheng, we have already rushed towards the Provincial Hospital, where are you?"
There was a noisy sound from the microphone, and I saw the Jaguar SUV in front of me, which relieved my heart.
"Master, keep up with the black off-road vehicle ahead!" I said to the driver of the ambulance.
The ambulance ran through the street, through the alleys, and followed the off-road vehicle. It quickly drove into the gate of the Provincial People’s Hospital. The off-road vehicle stopped directly at the entrance of the ward building. Zheng Xiumin and the old Taoist opened the door and rushed over. I was busy. Put the phone in his pocket and opened the back door of the ambulance.
I followed Pan Gui and jumped out of the car, and I saw Zheng Xiumin still holding a mobile phone in his hand, making a call.
Soon a stretcher trolley was pushed out from the lobby of the ward building. A doctor wearing a mask and a white coat waved to us. Zheng Xiumin rushed over and told me and Pan Gui: "Hurry up and move the patient to the trolley. superior!"
The two of us worked together to move Qingqing onto this trolley. Professor Zheng greeted the doctor and ordered us to push the patient to the lobby of the ward building.
The doctor in the ambulance chased us out and asked us: "Who will pay for the cost of our trip and rescue?"
Zheng Xiumin frowned, and told the old Taoist priest: "Old Tan, you will deal with it!"
We followed the doctor and pushed the patient into the elevator. Professor Zheng introduced to the doctor: "The patient had acute meningitis causing a craniocerebral infection. In the worst case, he became a vegetative person, but suddenly he recovered and was able to walk down. I have lost my memory, and now I have a sudden illness!"
While talking, the elevator rose rapidly to the upper floors and stopped on the 24th floor.
The expert from the Provincial Hospital, whose surname is Hong and Changshan, said to Professor Zheng: "I personally recommend that the patient undergo a craniotomy immediately to find out the patient's intracranial lesions and reduce the patient's intracranial pressure!"
The twenty-fourth floor is the operating room. Hong Changshan said to the nurses here: "Nurse An, prepare for craniotomy!"
This nurse pushed Qingqing into the operating room with the nurse just now, Mingpangui and I stayed outside and waited.
Professor Zheng hurriedly introduced: "Let me introduce to you. This is my niece Zheng Xiumin. She is a doctor from the Luoyang Military Region who is responsible for treating and protecting the safety of patients. This is Dr. Yuan Chenghua from the Emergency Department of Luoyang Mine Hospital. Let's enter the operating room together!"
Hong Changshan nodded in response, and said to Pan Gui: "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Pan Gui nodded nervously in response, and then looked at me.
"You stay outside the operating room and wait for news, and there will be a nurse who will take you to go through the patient's hospitalization procedures!" Dr. Hong explained, and then said to Zheng Xiumin and me: "Let's go disinfection and get ready to go to the operating table!"
Pan Gui hurriedly grabbed me and whispered: "Doctor Yuan, do you have any money with you?"
I immediately understood that I hurriedly took out a thousand yuan from the pocket of the winter clothes and stuffed it into his hand, saying: "I am in a hurry this time, and I only carry so much money!"
Upon seeing this, Zheng Xiumin immediately said: "Comrade Pangui, you don't have to worry about the hospitalization costs of the patient, we will be responsible for it!"
He sighed in relief after hearing this, and was about to return the money to me, but Zheng Xiumin had already pulled me into the disinfection room.
When I was working in the emergency department of the Mine Hospital, I followed Dr. Min to the operating table several times. The disinfection procedure was very complicated and strict. I could only watch Professor Zheng and Dr. Hong and follow their steps.
A nurse took our coat first, and the two experts in charge took off only the vest, and then completely immersed both arms in the tin bucket containing iodine for disinfection.
Zheng Xiumin and I only took off the cold-proof jackets, and then put the sleeves of the warm clothes on the elbows and soaked them in the sterilization bucket.
The nurse in charge of the operation said loudly: "Patient: Pan Qingqing. Symptom: Acute meningitis causes increased intracranial pressure. The name of the operation: Craniotomy. Chief surgeon: Hong Changshan, Zheng Xuezhong, assistant: Zheng Xiumin, nurse: Yin Runrun, Support: Yuan Chenghua!"
After the disinfection, the nurse put on dark green surgical gowns and surgical caps of the same color for all the staff who participated in the operation. I followed them and entered the operating room.
The air conditioner in the operating room is on, it's not very cold, but it's quiet inside, with only the beeps of the instruments.
Qingqing was lying on the operating table, and a nurse next to her was doing a preoperative check-up for her.
"The plasma is ready, and the patient is in stable condition and can be operated at any time!" Nurse Yin Runrun reported.
Professor Zheng said to me: "Doctor Yuan, this is a rare craniotomy. You have to watch it carefully!"
Zheng Xiumin also indicated that I don't need to be nervous and not too close to the operating table. I know this, but I am still worried about Qingqing's condition.
Everything was prepared. The lights in the operating room were dimmed and the shadowless lights were turned on. Professor Zheng and Hong Changshan boarded the operating table, and Yin Runrun also pushed the instrument cart over.
The sky outside the window darkened little by little, and my mood became more tense.
A nurse put on a mask for us, then pressed the timer, and the operation officially began. I was standing on the left side of the operating table. Zheng Xiumin stood opposite me. Two surgeons stood on both sides of Qingqing's head. A sterile isolation hood separated Qingqing's face and head.
The nurse handed a stainless steel scalpel, and then a stainless steel chisel, hammer, and saw.
Many of the surgical instruments used in this orthopedics department are the same as the carpenter's tools, but they are more sophisticated and durable than the carpenter's tools. Of course, they are all cast in stainless steel and sterilized by an autoclave.
Zheng Xiumin motioned me to look over Qingqing's head. The hair here has been shaved, and the scalp was cut open with a scalpel, exposing the skull. Hong Changshan is breaking open the skull with a hacksaw.
Professor Zheng has already used a chisel to cut a row of small holes in the surgical area of the patient's head. Through the meningeal tissue, the brain tissue inside can be clearly seen, like a walnut kernel, covered with gully.
Surgery is to save the patient's life, and it is also the most dangerous time for the patient. Once the operation fails, the patient may lose his life. (End of this chapter)
