"Patient's condition"

On the way to the operating room, Lisa Rockbell, who was temporarily the surgeon, asked while wearing a white lab coat that she had temporarily borrowed from the changing room

"Adult male, thirty-five years old, weighs sixty-five kilograms. Tenderness and percussion pain were evident in the left liver area, abdominal cramps, asymmetrical enlargement and tenderness of the liver, and Charcot's triad (pain, chills, fever, jaundice) ......" said the first doctor on the left side

"Past medical history" said, putting on the surgical cap and starting to think about the patient's condition

"I have systemic malnutrition, anemia, and hypoproteinemia, and I have been diagnosed with Clonorchis sinensis, but the disease has not been alleviated after being cured. The patient has a history of alcoholism and has a very severe stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer......"

After analyzing and judging the information that came to Lockbell on the short journey from the changing room to the operating room, Lockbell determined that the patient was likely to have acute purulent cholangitis with or without extrahepatic bile duct stones and duodenal ulcers. It belongs to the acute stage, and needs to be treated with surgery, otherwise it will be life-threatening.

Either way, there is no doubt that the abdomen needs surgery. Finally, with his mask on, Rockbell had already thought of the necessary preparations.

"Allergy history", "none", "cardiopulmonary function and renal function", "normal", "record. The attendant physician knew that he was going to write a doctor's order now, and hurriedly took out a pen to prepare for the record

"Atropine is injected subcutaneously with 0.5 milligrams, sodium oxybate injection is induced with intravenous general anesthesia of four grams, and the maintenance dose is increased by one gram per hour. The succinylcholine ............" was doing the doctor's order while thinking about the methods and steps of the operation. The patient's condition came too quickly, and the most urgent liver problem must be solved now, otherwise the patient may die." ’

"Dr. Rockbell, what do you think should be done for this surgery?" Before I knew it, the group had come to the door of the operating room.

"It's hard to say exactly where it is, you can only know when you open it." The patient has not been observed for a long time, and the doctor is not easy to make a judgment, even the very experienced Lockbell is not easy to say, "Be optimistic, you need to do a high cholangiotomy and stone removal, and if you are troublesome, you may need to have a left liver lobectomy." ”

"This ...... This is a very difficult operation! ”

Not to mention the stone removal, the risk of the left hepatic lobectomy surgery is quite high, the intrahepatic venous blood vessels are dense and numerous, and the thin direction and branches are too complicated, and the success rate of left hepatic vein surgery has always been the lowest in liver surgery. Before the invention of the speculum technique, the desperately numerous left hepatic lobe of venous branches had been a nightmare for all surgeons. Because they can't see what's going on here. Not to mention it now, when the black light is blinding. It only takes one of the veins to accidentally bruise a branch of the vein, which can cause the operation to fail.

"Without further ado, the patient needs our treatment now, let's get ready for surgery."

But if that could stop Rockbell, then Lisa wouldn't be from the Rockbell family.

When she entered the room with her deputy doctor and nurse, she did not notice a woman much older than her standing outside the operating room. Ever since she walked out of the changing room, he's been looking at her. Until she walked into the operating room. The sun has set, the nights are long, and the hybrid surgery takes a long time in such a dimly lit environment. At the door of the operating room, there was no lighting except a dim kerosene lamp, and as time passed, drowsiness gradually set in, and the president's wife fell asleep quietly on the back of her chair.

She was a little tired.

This morning, I learned that my daughter had to come from the capital in a hurry, and after half a day of turbulence, her nerves have been highly nervous, afraid that something will happen to her daughter and will be hurt, until she saw that the child was safe and sound, and her mental state was very good, so she let go of the heart that had been hanging in her throat. 'Original...... It's such a tiring thing to stay up late......

Turning his head sideways, he looked at the night sky that was already full of stars in a daze, thinking of his husband who was still busy before his work, and the longing in his heart came spontaneously.

'Dear...... You're so tired every day...... But I ......'

Thinking that my usual life is so leisurely and comfortable, I usually have nothing to do except go to hospitals and welfare facilities as a symbol of the country, accompany my husband to greet foreign guests, and do interviews.

Compared with those who still work hard until night, compared with their husbands who work hard for the country every day, I am really far behind, I guess ......

'Even Aisha is several times busier than me......

"I'm sorry Aisha......"

Before falling asleep, the mother gently expressed her apologies to her daughter

"Mom said you're ...... again"

―――――――――――――― a few hours later――――――――――――

"Click-"

A blinding white glow illuminates the darkness, and the sound of conversation replaces silence as the theme of the world. Subconsciously frowning at the sudden appearance of a bright light, Madame woke up from her dream and slowly opened her eyes.

The hospital had to be reopened, and after the operation, the belated lights were finally restored. Several doctors and nurses stood at the door of the operating room and talked excitedly about the operation that had just been almost impossible to complete in the eyes of ordinary doctors, and their hearts were full of admiration.

"Dr. Rockbell is amazing, he can still do the operation well in such dim light."

"He is worthy of being the angel of Ishbal, the conditions are so bad, the patient is in such a bad condition, and he can still come back to life, he is worthy of being the director's most admired senior."

'Surgery...... Is it already done? ’

Hearing the words of the doctor and nurse, the lady realized that she had fallen asleep unconsciously.

It's normal to think about it, usually at this time I have already slept, but these doctors on night duty ...... And the young nurses...... They still stick to their posts and take everything for granted...... 'Am I anything special compared to them?' ’……………………

"I'm sorry Sister Lisa, I'm really bothering you today."

In the doctor's lounge, the young chief of surgery, who was just thirty years old this year, gratefully handed Lisa, a senior who had been busy for several hours, a cup of coffee that he had brewed.

"It's nothing Alina, this is my job, saying thank you should be my thank you, if it weren't for your help, Wen Li and I probably wouldn't even have a place to stay tonight." Saying this, he gently covered Wen Li with a blanket on the sofa in the lounge. Whispered, "Front...... Senior, what are you talking about? Alina should apologize for letting you stay in the lounge, a national treasure of the surgical world. Lisa's thanks made Alina, who was already guilty for letting her worshipping senior take the lead for her in the middle of the night, instantly blushed, her head and hands swayed shyly.

"And ......"

Thinking that after the war, the predecessors of the national treasure class did not stay in the city, but returned to the countryside and disappeared from the country, Alina became even more depressed. "Obviously, you are the one who has contributed the most in Ishbal and the most risky...... But at the end of the day, you don't get anything. ”

"I didn't think about what I got out of that war, and what I lost will never come back."

Thinking of her husband's passing back, the lonely self left behind and the crying warmth, holding a cup of steaming coffee, the whole person looks so depressed. "Don't talk about that, can you make me another cup of coffee, Alina?"

"Of course, seniors! Are you sleepy? Alina's apartment is lent to you tonight! ”

"No, it's the family of the patient outside the operating room, she has been waiting outside for a long time."
