Chapter XVII. Surgery at Sea

"Dad, why are you here?"

As soon as the three of them entered the medical room, Arwen saw his father and the second assistant busily rummaging through the medicine box while comforting the child's parents.

"Why are you here? It's too busy here, and if you don't go out yet, don't mess with me. "Since the little boy was brought in, he has been given various antibiotics but it has not worked. Hao's father had a headache because he couldn't find the cause, but now he was naturally angry when he saw his unconscious daughter.

Looking at the little boy who was barely sitting on a chair with a haggard face, sunken eye sockets, and cyanotic lips, without waiting for Feng Qing Haowen to introduce himself, Li Mu walked to the little boy and squatted down, touching the boy's forehead, and said praiseworthily: "Little friend, you are so strong, you are so sick, you can't bear to cry out in pain." If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”

With Li Mu's encouragement, the little boy who was sweating profusely smiled and said, "I'm fine, the doctor uncle said that he will be fine after taking the medicine." ”

The little boy's innocent smile made his parents even more distressed. Although he was grateful to Li Mu for his encouragement, the boy's father was still dissatisfied with the idler who suddenly appeared and said to Hao's father and the second assistant: "Two doctors, what is my child's disease?" Is there any way you have it, if not, just dock. ”

Dock? To put it mildly, this is a transnational ocean, where is it so easy to dock?

Just when Hao's father was at a loss, Li Mu, who was basically sure of the boy's condition, pulled Feng Qing and Hao Wen to the corner of the ward and whispered, "The boy is seriously ill and needs immediate surgery." If you can trust me, I can take the knife, but this matter cannot be passed on. ”

After all, he practiced medicine without a license, although this was on the high seas, but when he was investigated later, he Li Mu was charged with one more crime.

I thought that Hao Wen and his father would have a dispute, but as soon as Li Mu's words were conveyed, Hao's father pulled Li Mu into a small circle of the four of them for joint questioning.

"Boy, listen to what my daughter said, you are the Luocheng Divine Doctor who has recently become popular all over the country? Is the situation really as serious as you say? If you want to have surgery, it's at sea! ”

Father Hao's meaning, of course Li Mu understood. Even the most simple surgery is naturally indispensable to the bumps of the waves. If there is any wind and waves, and there is any error in the operation, something will happen.

But seeing the little boy gritting his teeth and trying to endure the pain, Li Mu, who was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, solemnly explained: "After preliminary judgment, this is not an ordinary abdominal pain. Rather, it is a perforated appendix, presumably infected with peritonitis. It must be operated on immediately, otherwise the infection of the blood vessels is sepsis, and then it is really powerless. ”

"What, peritonitis? You can just look at it and be sure, is it true? As a second mate in the treatment of general stomach problems, he asked incredulously.

"I said, believe me and don't ask more."

For this kind of part-time doctor, in Li Mu's eyes, he is still a layman.

"You-"

Li Mu is not very old, but his temper is quite big, and the second officer, a burly man, is so angry that he wants to do it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, he was grabbed by the arm of the chief engineer Hao's father, and the latter said, "Okay, I believe you." Tell me what you need. ”

"Listen to Hao Wen, you are the chief engineer, you should have a lot of power on the ship, right? I have a full set of surgical instruments in my luggage, which is necessary for surgery, so I will move my luggage here immediately. My name is Li Mu, and the boarding record should be able to find out the location of my luggage in the cargo hold very quickly.

In addition, the boy's parents also need to re-communicate with each other to explain the condition and the operation, and let them wait outside. Feng Qing, Hao Wen, you two can go out and wait if you have nothing to do, don't get in the way here. ”

As soon as he got on the operating table and came into contact with the patient, Li Mu's personality became confident and domineering, changing his previous lazy and sluggish decadent appearance.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu turned his face and was ruthless, obviously the two of them brought him in, but now he actually asked them to go out, and said that they were in the way.

Hao Wen, who immediately blew up his hair and was about to pull Li Mu's clothes, was stopped by Hao's father and reprimanded loudly: "Go out, do everything as he says." ”

Although he was reluctant, who made Father Hao the biggest here, even if Feng Qing Hao Wen was angry, he could only curse Li Mu in his heart. After everything was ready, in addition to the patients, there were only Li Mu, Hao's father and the second deputy in the temporary operating room.

Just as Li Mu was about to start the operation, the engine sound of the sea ship suddenly disappeared, and the bumpy hull gradually stabilized.

Seeing Li Mu's surprised face, Chief Engineer Hao's father said, "I told the captain about this matter, and we can help you get here at most." I only hope that you can have a successful operation and save this child. ”

"That's a huge help. But are you so sure I can do it? "I didn't expect the people on this ship to be quite humane, and they dared to delay the voyage and stop at sea.

"I've seen the video of that car accident. In just half an hour, pericardiocentesis, arterial damage repair, cardiac massage, and myocardial suture can be completed successively. Although it was not a complicated operation, it was able to do four surgeries so beautifully under the pressure of inhumanity in that environment. The psychological quality is very accessible, since you say you are sure, why don't I believe you can do it? ”

"Haha, Uncle Hao really sees it thoroughly. If I had time, I would like to have a good talk with my uncle. But now time is running out, and once all the instruments have been sterilized, the operation will begin immediately. "I didn't expect that there were also people with good professionalism among the part-time doctors, but Li Mu was interested.

It's not that Hao's father is really so sure, after all, he and the second mate are not in this specialty, and now they can only desperately believe in this Luocheng miracle doctor, hoping that it is not hyped up by the media. However, after seeing that Li Mu anesthetized the boy's lumbar spine with a needle, Hao's father was also a lot relieved.

At this time, Li Mu asked the second mate to fix the little boy's side lying position, and said to Hao's father: "Uncle, inject 200cc antibiotics, and pay attention to the patient's physiological signs, especially blood pressure and heartbeat, and tell me immediately if there is any abnormality." ”

Seeing that the two of them did what they said, Li Mu found the McBurney point, and the scalpel made an oblique cut in the right lower abdomen, and the peritoneum was then separated by a retractor, revealing an excessively large appendix and cecum adhered together.

"Uncle Hao, saline, procaine."

Sure enough, it was peritonitis, but fortunately the infection was not serious, and the pus could be washed away. While protecting the layers of the abdominal wall with an abrasive cloth pad, Li Mu treated the mesangial ligation of the appendiceal artery and removed it.

When the pus was washed with saline, sutured and the abdominal cavity closed, a bloated appendix with multiple perforations was thrown into a sterilization tray by Li Mu.

Seeing that the boy's face had improved, and his blood pressure and heartbeat had tended to be normal, Hao's father, who had been tense and nervous, was finally able to give an explanation to the child's parents, so he thanked him: "Doctor Luocheng, the name is well deserved, thank you really this time." ”

Li Mu is still very happy to be able to save a life. However, the title of the Luo Cheng Divine Doctor is also being called more and more pleasantly. Li Muke, who was in exile, did not dare to get carried away, and once again advised: "Remember, don't spread the word about here. This child's life, even if you save it, I never came. ”

I really thought that Li Mu was high-spirited and bright, and he liked to do good deeds without leaving his name, and the second mate who had a temper with Li Mu before took the initiative to shake hands and make peace, and said with emotion: "Doctor, I made a mistake just now, don't take it seriously." You are really good at medicine and even better with medical ethics, I will serve you. ”
