Xiang Heping was watching his doctor give his old man general anesthesia.
The old man was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. If he didn't undergo surgery, he might have complications such as appendiceal perforation. Anesthesia methods include not only continuous epidural, but also general anesthesia.
It's just that his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't operate normally, so he had to make a series of life-threatening calls to an anesthesiologist with the best anesthesia skills to perform general anesthesia.
The surgery went well, it was just an appendectomy. It seemed that all the bad luck had left. When Director Ou opened his lower right abdomen, the appendix "popped" out in a smart and sensible manner.
The entire operation time was even shorter than the anesthesia time. From the incision to the last stitch, Director Ou finished the operation in 15 minutes. He took off the sterile clothes and looked at Xiang Heping with pity. .
It must be very hard for him to have such a big surgery and end up like this.
Director Ou sighed and patted Xiang Heping on the shoulder to express comfort. But he didn't say anything. It was up to this special "patient's family" to decide whether the orthopedic department would come on stage to perform a larger operation or whether he would be sent back to the ward.
Xiang Heping stood in the operating room like a puppet, watching the operation end.
"Director, what should we do next?"
"Wake up." Xiang Heping held the phone tightly in his hand, and no one had replied to him yet.
Xiang Heping was not qualified to talk about the warmth and coldness of people's relationships and the coldness of the world. He was the kind of person who could make changes in the county hospital. But in the entire medical community, he is an extremely transparent person.
Being able to hold an annual meeting to get to know a few people from the anesthesiology department of top tertiary hospitals is already the limit.
Again, if you know others, others must also know you.
The message has been sent, but whether they reply or not depends on their mood. He used to know which onion he was, but he knew it even better now.
The idea of waiting now took over Xiang Heping's mind, just in case nothing happened. Even if something goes wrong, it is okay to do the second-stage surgery half a month later.
He thought about it again to understand what Director Zhang from the Department of Orthopedics was going to say—most people have no problem!
Then send it back, Xiang Heping sighed deeply.
The old man woke up completely and put it on the cart. Xiang Heping put his cell phone in his pocket and pulled the cart all the way to the ward.
Listening to his family members asking about the surgery, Xiang Heping felt agitated for no reason. He didn't dare to tell what was going on. All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and his heart was in a mess.
When he was being carried to the hospital bed, the voice call on his cell phone started ringing crazily.
Xiang Heping was a little disgusted, who the hell was causing trouble at this time. My son is not in Langshan, could it be him? It's so annoying to bother yourself at this time!
After gently placing the old man on the hospital bed, Xiang Heping couldn't hide the anger in his heart. He picked up his cell phone and wanted to scold his little brat.
But when he picked up the phone and saw the name marked on WeChat, Xiang Heping was stunned.
The words 912 Lao He appeared in front of me.
Xiang Heping didn't expect that Lao He, who hadn't even said a word, would reply to him, or even call him impatiently.
He quickly lowered his head and rushed out of the ward, answering the voice call as he walked.
"Teacher He, Teacher He, hello, hello."
Xiang Heping hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Oh, please wait a moment."
Facing Lao He's inquiry, Xiang Heping hurriedly walked to a secluded corner of the fire escape, stood in the dark and looked at the busy medical staff on the other side of the transparent glass, feeling confused in his heart.
However, this confusion disappeared in an instant. He quickly picked up the phone and said: "Teacher He, when I was doing anesthesia today..."
He described the operation process carefully, and even reported the models of consumables used, for fear of missing anything. The details were a bit long-winded, but he didn't feel it.
"I'm from Langshan County Hospital, yes, yes, it's Langshan County next to the Imperial Capital!"
"Well… "
"Oh, okay, okay, I..."
After exchanging a few words, Xiang Heping hung up the phone and took a look. There were several messages on it that he had not seen. It was probably when Teacher He sent the old man back to the ward that he sent a reply. He didn't answer, so he called anxiously to ask about the situation.
What did the legendary Lao He just say? Boss Zheng wants to rush over for interventional surgery to see if the broken epidural catheter can be taken out.
Doesn’t intervention require entering blood vessels? How come you can even get an epidural? This is a bit unreliable.
Could it be that I heard it wrong
Or maybe I misremembered the number and what I just experienced was just a prank
When his request to pick up Boss Zheng and the legendary Lao He was rejected, Xiang Heping sent his location blankly and looked at his phone in a daze.
A full 10 minutes later, Xiang Heping was still standing in the fire escape full of doubts and thinking.
At this time, he had gradually regained some consciousness and was not as panicked as when the accident had just occurred.
Could it be that you met a liar
Is Boss Zheng, who won the Nobel Prize, too positive? Xiang Heping was confused. He stood in the fire escape. It was dark around him, but he could see people in the corridor either busy or whispering.
It might really be a liar, Xiang Heping thought to himself.
Putting himself in his shoes, when I saw Lao He at the Imperial Capital Anesthesia Annual Conference, there were a bunch of people surrounding him. And Lao He is just Boss Zheng's anesthetist. If he were Boss Zheng, shouldn't he be busier
He came here without an invitation? It seems more logical that I can't invite him no matter what.
wrong! It must be fake. They also asked if the DSA machine here has a CT function. They said they need to do a CT first and then remove the broken epidural anesthesia catheter.
The more details you give, the more likely you are to be a liar.
Xiang Heping picked up the phone in confusion, pondered for a long time, and dialed the number of a classmate who was engaged in recycling intervention.
"It's me, Peace."
"Let me ask you something. If there is a foreign body in the epidural vertebral body, can it be removed through interventional surgery?"
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll just ask if you have any similar surgery."
"I knew it wasn't. This is not a paper I read online. I don't think it makes sense at all."
"Okay, hang up."
After briefly understanding the situation, Xiang Heping hung up the phone.
It should be nonsense, it must be nonsense, it must be nonsense! Xiang Heping thought to himself that it was simply impossible.
At this moment, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw a reply from an anesthesiology director in the Imperial Capital.
