Chapter 5: The Magic Hand

Since Professor Norman stood back at the operating table, Li Mu seemed to have found the backbone, and perhaps with the teacher's silent encouragement, Li Mu finally found the source of motivation to overcome his heart knot.

With the success of the first operation, Li Mu regained his self-confidence, and the surgical movements became more and more aggressive, the debridement time became less and less, and the knotting and suturing became more and more coherent. Most of the war wounds are basically to remove the necrotic cells in the wound tract, and a small part of the arteries are ruptured.

When you dedicate yourself to something, time flies.

When the last wounded person was operated on, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and Li Mu, who was in the temporary medical center, did not notice it at all.

From the mouth of the assistant, I knew that I had fought for 35 hours in a row, and 42 cases of surgery were completed. If it had been in the past, Li Mu would definitely be proud of his achievements. But now that he is on the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance, Li Mu has lost the joy he had when he was a student, but has more feelings for the wounded everywhere.

Without the struggle of these people, where would there be themselves and everything in the future. Compared with these people who are struggling on the front line, their own misfortune is nothing!

Li Mu, who had completely figured it out, was in a very happy mood, and while biting the flatbread, he looked around, but he didn't find his teacher.

Li Mu suddenly had a bad premonition, pulled the members of the medical team who were about to change shifts, and inquired only to learn that Professor Norman left the medical center after his surgical level improved by leaps and bounds, and opened another operating table in the medical tent outside, which allowed Li Mu to complete the operation task ahead of schedule.

Unexpectedly, while he was concentrating on the operation, his teacher was so disobedient and went to the operating table again. Li Mu was so angry that he spit out the big cake that he had just bitten into his mouth before he could swallow it, and then Li Mu rushed into the medical tent where Norman taught with frost on his face.

Li Mu's face was angry, Professor Norman knew what his students wanted to say, and then waved his hand to stop Li Mu, who was about to speak, Professor Norman sighed: "Sure enough, only on the operating table, people are the easiest to grow." Lee, you don't need to say more. I know what you're trying to say, but although you can do the surgery now, your movements are too slow, do you think the wounded outside can wait? For every minute we get faster, we have the potential to save one more wounded. I'm idle, and although my surgery speed has decreased, as long as I'm alone, the hospital has a little more strength.

I know you're worried about my condition, but when I have surgery, I'll wear a surgical sleeve and isolate the infection. You can't just let me watch from the side because of a little thing on your finger, I can't stand this kind of torment. ”

The temper of his own teacher is so strong that ten cows can't pull it back. Knowing that Professor Norman's words are the ultimate bottom line, Li Mu can't help it, he can't say that the surgical sleeve may also be broken, it would be too nonsense.

Staring at Professor Norman's swollen left index finger, Li Mu said worriedly: "Teacher, you must be careful, this place is not as scarce as foreign countries, anti-inflammatory drugs are scarce, and you are easily infected." Be sure to wear a surgical sleeve during surgery, preferably a thick one, which is not easy to scratch. ”

Professor Norman rubbed his forehead and laughed, "Li, you have been with me for eight years, and I have never found you so verbose. Don't talk about that, let's go, let's go drink, it's rare to rest! ”

As a surgeon, you should always be absolutely sober, let alone drink.

But in the front-line hospital, dozens of consecutive surgeries a day are enough to make people crazy, and the field doctor needs to vent, and there are unconventional things like drinking, and Professor Norman has not been less crazy with Li Mu to accompany him.

With the deepening of the conversation, his own teacher did not leave his old profession in three sentences, which was a general chat, and he became a Li Mu surgery appraisal meeting when he talked about it.

I thought that his results in 42 surgeries in 35 hours were not bad, but in the eyes of Professor Norman, Li Mu's results were nothing at all, and he was not qualified to his tail.

Seeing that Li Mu's expression seemed to be quite unconvinced, Professor Norman chuckled and said, "Li, you can get started so quickly now, thanks to your practical practice in college, and you don't waste your good youth on picking up girls like ordinary young people."

To be honest, your current level is just learning to walk, and the most basic debridement, hemostasis, ligation, knotting, and suturing can take you an hour, which is too slow.

Not every operation, you have an assistant. What if you don't have an assistant and you have to do everything by yourself? ”

Surgeons are not lone heroes, and the more complex the operation, the more the entire medical team needs to work together to complete it.

After five years of studying at the Medical University, this understanding has been deeply rooted in Li Mu's bone marrow. I didn't expect Professor Norman, a top thoracic surgeon, to ask himself like this, and Li Mu subconsciously replied, "How is it possible?" If there is no team, how can the surgery be done? ”

Knowing that Li Mu was the reaction, Professor Norman, who poured a large sip of sorghum wine and still had a clear look in his eyes, continued: "When I was in my hometown, I liked to watch tricks the most. Those magicians' hands are so flexible, a deck of playing cards, or a pile of coins, always magically appear where they want to be.

It's not really that amazing, it's that their hands are fast, so fast that you can't even see the movements of their hands. And we surgeons are the same, except that we are magicians on the operating table. ”

As he spoke, at the moment when Li Mu blinked, Professor Norman's right hand was empty, and a scalpel, a pointed tweezer and a pair of surgical scissors appeared behind the three fingers, and then Professor Norman's five fingers of his left hand shook together in front of his right hand, and the three surgical instruments disappeared without a trace.

didn't expect his idol to be magical, and Li Mu was instantly shocked.

Shaking the empty jar of wine, ignoring Li Mu's enthusiastic gaze, Professor Norman asked the tavern owner to serve another jar of wine before smiling playfully: "It's really unforgiving, when I was young, I could even operate on one hand, and it was no problem to perform different operations on two wounded people at the same time."

But now, as I get older, my brain sometimes can't react, and my hand movements are becoming more and more slow. The 115 surgeries in 69 hours are nothing, but they are just traumatic surgeries with no technical content.

You don't have to look at me, and this technique is not that difficult. As long as you practice your hands as nimble as a magician, solo surgery, left and right bowing, is simply as easy.

If I can get back to my peak youthful condition, the surgery time can be increased by two times now. It's a pity, I can't go back, time flies really fast! ”

Stimulated by Professor Norman, Li Mu returned to the empty cup mentality, and began to flip silver dollars under the poplar tree every morning, practicing finger dexterity, and was bound to practice to the realm that the teacher said.
