Pengcheng, a window for reform across the country.

Those who come are Pengcheng people, this sentence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Pengcheng has embarked on another climax of rapid development.

People of all kinds flocked to Pengcheng from all over the country, and various hospitals were built as supporting facilities. Pengcheng offers eye-poppingly high salaries to medical staff, resulting in the rapid influx of countless elites in the medical field.

Pengcheng Development Zone People's Hospital is a newly built third-class comprehensive hospital. The bright and spacious corridors and clean wards are pleasing to the eye.

But the most attractive thing is that the People's Hospital has hired several big names in the medical field from the mainland with high salaries.

Among them is Wu Haishi, the retired director of the interventional department of a large hospital who was rehired.

The old man is sixty-four years old. He is one of the first people in China to learn interventional surgery, and he is a Beidou-level figure in the interventional discipline.

The newly established People's Hospital does not have many patients yet, and many diagnosis and treatment projects are being standardized and adjusted little by little, so it is not very busy.

Mr. Wu adheres to the style of the older generation, being down-to-earth and hard-working. Even when I came to Pengcheng, I organized department staff to learn theoretical knowledge every day.

After checking the ward in the morning, Mr. Wu sat down in the office, put on his spectacles and began to organize the materials for the next study, and added the digital silhouettes of the surgery that he had stored, so that the young doctors could better understand the content and difficulties of the surgery.

"Dang Dang Dang~~" There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Master." A middle-aged man in his thirties walked in, standing neatly, and his voice reached Mr. Wu's ears just right.

He is Mr. Wu's close disciple, his name is Mu Tao, and he is thirty-eight years old this year. I studied in college with a bachelor's and master's degree, and later got admitted to Mr. Wu's doctorate. After graduation, he stayed in the hospital and stayed under Mr. Wu's disciples. After Mr. Wu retired and was re-employed by Pengcheng Development Zone People's Hospital, he also came to this ever-changing city with him.

Although he is old, Mr. Wu is not deaf. He looked at the information, nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"Recently, there is an account in Xinglinyuan that broadcasts live surgical videos. Today I just completed a renal artery embolization for bleeding after segmental nephrectomy. I think it is very exciting..."

"Oh? Let's take a look. There aren't many videos of this kind of surgery." Mr. Wu suddenly became interested, raised his head, and pushed up his reading glasses.

Mu Tao quickly took out his mobile phone and turned it into Bluetooth mode. The video image appeared on a large LCD screen in Mr. Wu's office.

In the video, the surgeon is performing femoral artery puncture.

The movements were skillful and to the point. Although he did not specifically pursue speed, every step was very precise. In just a blink of an eye, the arterial sheath had entered the femoral artery.

Mr. Wu did not praise the surgeon's arterial puncture skills, because in his opinion, this was a matter of course.

The micro guide wire is in place, the imaging system is turned on, and the field of view moves upward.

At this time, Mr. Wu snorted.

Mu Tao quickly pressed the pause button and listened carefully.

Having followed Mr. Wu for more than ten years, he naturally knew what Mr. Wu had discovered.

As for what it is, it must be the accuracy of blind microguidewire manipulation. Because the microguidewire on the screen just falls at the end of the renal artery, subsequent superselection can save a lot of time.

"Crossing the left and right hands?" Mr. Wu said, pointing to the hands of the operator on the screen.

Mu Tao was startled for a moment. In his opinion, there were many highlights in the operator's operation, but they did not include the pair of hands at the bottom of the screen that were about to disappear soon.

What's the point of cross-operating with left and right hands

Mr. Wu smiled, stood up and walked to the big screen, pointing to his crossed hands wearing sterile gloves and said: "This is an operating habit that only the older generation who first learned interventional surgery have."

"Here, my left hand is on the right, fixing the guide wire, and my right hand is on the left, inserting the microcatheter."

"There are still assistant's hands here, but the surgeon still habitually uses his left and right hands to cross each other. Do you know why?"

Upon hearing Mr. Wu's inquiry, Mu Tao's forehead became wet.

In his view, this operation was flawed, or at least superfluous. Because of the surgeon's operating mode, the assistant's role is much lower.

"I don't know." Mu Tao told the truth.

"Because there were very few people learning interventional surgery at the beginning, we couldn't even find anyone who could handle the surgery. Basically, we had to operate alone, fixing the guide wires and feeding the catheters ourselves. So I used my more flexible right hand to operate the microsurgery. Catheter, the left hand is responsible for fixing the micro guidewire. Only then will the left and right hands cross the operation.

But you can't use it now. "

Mr. Wu was a little emotional and nostalgic, remembering the time when he patiently and meticulously performed surgeries despite huge amounts of radiation.

Imaging, super selection, gel sponge, each step is clear and clear. There is no deliberate pursuit of speed, but no step delays time, and everything is successful in one go.

With the embolization completed, we waited and performed another angiography to confirm that there was no longer massive bleeding in the renal artery. This video of the operation ended.

"Not bad." Mr. Wu said lightly.

"soon."

"It should be very accurate. Every super selection is successful. Let me guess who he is." Mr. Wu sat back in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Mu Tao didn't interrupt, just waited quietly.

A few minutes later, Mr. Wu shook his head and said: "People who are used to crossing their left and right hands have basically withdrawn from the clinical front line. Even if they occasionally come on stage, they are still guiding the surgery. This person has very steady hands, is very attentive, and has good eyesight. I guess He shouldn’t be very old.”

Surgeons, like boxers, are professions in which experience and physical strength cannot be combined.

For surgeons, the most golden age is between forty and fifty. At this time, I have accumulated a certain amount of experience points, and my physical condition is still very good, my eyesight is not blurry, and my hands are not shaking.

Peak performance occurs at this age.

But it does not include some monster-like characters.

For example, a certain expert in cardiac surgery in the early 1990s had already reached his peak in his thirties. It was a pity that he was withdrawn and was excluded from Fuwai Hospital in the imperial capital. He returned to his hometown in Northeast China and founded a specialized hospital for cardiovascular diseases.

Within a few years, the hospital became one of the top hospitals in the country.

There are many miraculous things about this awesome person. A few years later, he went to work as a secretary in a medical department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After retirement, he needed surgery due to tachyarrhythmia.

But he is the top player in the country and doesn't trust anyone. Because everyone's operations and experience are not as good as his own in his opinion...

So, he lay on the operating table with the imaging system suspended above his head.

Looking directly at him, he guided his doctoral students to perform surgery on him.

Ventricular fibrillation occurred during the operation. After the rescue was successful, he continued to guide the doctoral students to continue the operation.

Finally, the operation was successful!

Of course, what follows is just an anecdote. He is the kind of monster-like figure who reached his peak around the age of thirty-five.

Mu Tao is ashamed of himself for this kind of person, but what the master means is... maybe the magician in Xinglin Garden is also this kind of person

"Perhaps he was trained by an old friend, maybe." Mr. Wu smiled faintly. "Pay attention to this live broadcast. Well, this video is recorded on the USB flash drive to inform everyone of the afternoon training."
