Community Hospital, Operating Theatre.

Zhou Qiao is the main surgeon, Murphy is the first assistant, Stephanie is the second assistant, Ava is the itinerant nurse, and Elena is the instrument nurse. The anesthesiologist is a senior Nancy.

This operation was too critical, and Zhou Qiao didn't have time to teach Murphy in advance, and in addition, with such a serious condition, it would be irresponsible for the patient to let Murphy come.

Therefore, Zhou Qiao went on it in person.

Stephanie: "......" beautiful eyes rippled, glanced at Zhou Qiao, and said in her heart, isn't this a cardiothoracic surgery? Zhou Qiao even knows this?

After the anesthesia is completed, the multi-person check (time out) is completed.

Zhou Qiao began to go under the knife, and everyone else began to cooperate.

But Eva, the itinerant nurse, had nothing to do for the time being, so she went to fiddle with the old sound system on the wall, although Nancy said that the hospital had plans to replace it after Ava's advice last time, but she didn't know when it would be.

This sound system, despite its age, still sounds pretty good after Ava pressed the play button.

For a long time, I haven't had major surgery here, and for some reason, Zhou Qiao feels very kind.

Especially, when hearing Ava play Chinese songs.

It is a phoenix legend "Mrs. Luxury".

"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight sprinkles the Xiangshui Beach......"

It is said that no one cared about this song when it was released, but no one expected that twelve years later, it took the opportunity of short videos, and suddenly it became popular, and there was a time when it swept the whole network, and the cover singers did not know how many.

Zhou Qiao heard this song when he was in college. It was a Christmas party, the goddess of love sang, and now that I think about it, the girl's appearance is average, less than a third of Elena, Ava, Murphy, and Stephanie.

These girls, any one of them is picked out, they are all school flower grades. No, it can crush the school flower progression.

Seeing the beauties around him, Zhou Qiao's surgery was also quite comfortable and smooth.

This surgery is extremely risky, and the patient's life is in danger at any time.

Zhou Qiao needs to solve three problems during the operation: first, aortic rupture and massive bleeding, due to serious aortic rupture infection, this position is very close to the heart, and a little carelessness will lead to death; the second is the patient's esophageal perforation and mediastinal infection; The third is digestive tract reconstruction.

Although the patient's condition was urgent, Zhou Qiao was still calm and calm.

Because, this kind of thing is really urgent. In particular, the surgeon should not be in a hurry.

The more urgent, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Although he is calm and calm, the movements of his hands are not slow at all, and he is very organized.

Even, when it comes to some key steps, you can do them while dividing your energy and talking about them, explaining the tricks and precautions to Murphy and Stephanie. At the same time, the tension in the operating room was resolved.

The surgeon is so confident and calm, why are you still nervous? Cooperate well and do your own thing.

Nancy nodded slightly, partnering with Zhou Qiao for difficult surgery has always been a relaxing and pleasant thing.

When I opened the patient's chest, I saw that the situation was actually worse than expected, which can be called "miserable".

In the field of vision, the patient's chest cavity is full of purulent effusions and pusular lichen, and mediastinal edema is obvious.

The thoracic aorta, with a significant rupture, ulcerated badly after infection.

"There is a need to replace artificial blood vessels here, but the operation space is small and difficult, in our Chinese language, it is called a dojo in a screw shell." Zhou Qiao said lightly.

Stephanie couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?" She had never heard the proverb.

Murphy pursed his lips and whispered, "Do you need to explain this?" As soon as you hear it, you know that you are doing complicated scenes and things in a cramped and simple place! ”

Stephanie: "......" suddenly stopped talking. Appears to be dumber than Murphy.

In fact, Stephanie was just unfamiliar with Zhou Qiao's Chinese proverb, and just wanted to understand why she said that.

Zhou Qiao ignored the open and secret battle between Murphy and Stephanie, and he built an artificial blood vessel from the left subclavian artery, a branch of the aorta, to the thoracic aorta on the diaphragm, so as to ensure the blood supply to the patient's lower body when it was blocked later.

Subsequently, the diseased aorta is blocked, the upper artificial vessel is removed and replaced, and the blood supply is restored.

It's very simple to say, but it's actually quite a delicate job.

The difficulty level can be called S-rate.

Especially when dealing with the esophagus, it was like walking a tightrope in the air, Stephanie couldn't help but exhale softly several times, Murphy glanced at her, and said lightly: "Can you not scream?" ”

"Where am I yelling...... "Stephanie was so aggrieved, she felt that Murphy had been targeting her. Because, Murphy is a person who usually doesn't say three words a day, and today she has had an operation, and she has said it several times!

Okay, you have done more surgeries, and it takes a long time to follow Zhou Qiao, hum, but I'll catch up! Moreover, I am better than you in medical psychology.

It's just a pity that in terms of psychological counseling, she often does it alone, and she doesn't need everyone to work together, and Murphy won't join in the fun.

After all, Murphy has many master-level surgical skills, while Stephanie does not have a single master-level in surgery, and there are not even more than five master-level surgical skills. In terms of surgery, the gap with Murphy is still quite large.

Murphy's vision and insight are a cut higher, she watched Zhou Qiao's operation, and knew that although the situation was critical, Zhou Qiao was very stable! For Zhou Qiao, this kind of operation is just a routine operation, and only a novice surgeon like Stephanie who has never seen the "world" will feel thrilling.

Of course, if you change the experts on the side, there is a high probability that you will be struggling, you must be careful every step, and the operation of the operation will be very cautious and slow, but Zhou Qiao is here, everything is under control.

After completely removing the infection focus, Zhou Qiao removed the esophagus, and then performed gastrostomy surgery on the patient's abdomen.

Looking at Zhou Qiao's slender and slender fingers moving around, Stephanie suddenly thought of the word "tentacle monster", and said in her heart, his fingers are really dexterous, and they surpass me...... I couldn't help but think of some embarrassing pictures during the dream diagnosis and treatment.

She looked at Murphy's hand, and wanted to compete with him. Xindao, the flexibility of my fingers is not as good as Zhou Qiao, but it may not be weaker than you!

……

Outside, Xiao Jiang and his mother were waiting anxiously, like ants on a hot pot.

"Mom, don't worry too much, Dad will be fine." Although Xiao Jiang himself was also worried, he couldn't help but comfort his mother.

His mother wiped her tears and said, "Your father is so old, how can I not worry?" You don't know, this accident has a tradition in your family. ”

"What? Mom, are you in a hurry? Xiao Jiang said in his heart, why is it still involved in "tradition"? Where are they?

"You used to have a cousin and grandmother, maybe you were young at the time, I don't remember, she was stuck in a fish bone when she was eating fish, and then she went to the hospital and didn't come back, and she walked ......away."

"Huh?" Xiao Jiang was shocked, "And this is the case?" ”

"This time it might be your cousin and grandmother who came to pick up your father."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense......" Xiao Jiang looked back, and suddenly felt that there was a cool breeze in the hospital.

Originally, the mother and son were very worried, but as a result, they couldn't help but feel even more anxious when they thought of the scene of the death of their "cousin and grandmother" back then, especially Xiao Jiang's mother, who felt like she was about to collapse.

She has a poor ability to resist pressure and has begun to talk nonsense.

"What if...... Your dad is gone. How can the ashes be shipped back to China? Xiao Jiang's mother thought more far-reaching, she was really confused about this kind of thing and what the process was.

Although he came to settle in the United States, before Lao Jiang was alive, phew, before Lao Jiang fell ill, he often said that he would still have to return to his roots when he died. But because he is still young, he doesn't pay too much attention to the details of this aspect.

Now, all at once, it's about to be faced. Xiao Jiang's mother really doesn't know what to do?

Xiao Jiang hesitated: "Otherwise, I mean just in case...... It's better to find a cemetery in the United States. ”

As soon as the words came out, I felt that I was very unfilial, how could I say such things. I slapped myself, which was led astray by my mother.

hurriedly comforted his mother and said, "Mom, don't worry too much, Dad Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine soon." ”

The heart said, it's just that I'm stuck by a fish bone, and now that the operation is not over, why scare myself.

Cousin's grandmother was the fate of my cousin's grandmother, the medical conditions may have been relatively poor back then, but now in the United States, even if Zhou Qiao can't do it, there are still many doctors in the community hospital.

"Son, how long do you think this operation will take?" The two finally sat down on the chairs in the corridor, and not long after, Xiao Jiang's mother asked again.

"It's going to take five or six hours. I've heard that some major surgeries often take more than 10 hours, and the doctor still wears diapers for the operation! Xiao Jiang comforted his mother with the medical knowledge he had learned.

Meaning, it's still early, be patient, don't rush. Slow work makes fine work.

Who knows, as soon as the words are finished, "crunch", the door of the operating room will open!

Xiao Jiang's mother was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Mainly, the time is too short, how long has it been, has it been an hour? The door to the operating room is now open?

Absolutely bad news, absolutely bad news!

"Mom~" Xiao Jiang hurriedly went to support his mother.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qiao walked over quickly and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Dr. Chow, how is my dad? Xiao Jiang asked.

Zhou Qiao said: "The operation was very successful. ”

"Really?" Xiao Jiang was a little incredulous, didn't he say it was very serious before, this risk, that kind of risk, is his life in danger at any time? How did you get it done so quickly?

Zhou Qiao thought for a while and said seriously: "Your father's condition is really serious, the situation is really quite critical, although the operation is over now, it is also very smooth, but he still has to continue to observe in the ICU, and after a few days the condition is stable, he will be transferred to the general ward." In addition, when the infection is completely controlled and the condition is stable, a second stage of surgery is needed to reconstruct the digestive tract with a gastric esophagus. ”

"Oooh. Thank you so much, Dr. Chow. ”

"Doctor Zhou, you've worked hard!"

Xiao Jiang and his mother reacted, quickly stood up, looked grateful, and shook hands with Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao: "......"

Let's tell you directly that the operation was successful, you still don't believe it, I have to say it seriously, there is still a lot of work to follow-up, you can rest assured.

However, Zhou Qiao can also understand the patient's mentality. They just need the attention of the doctor and that's it.

To put it simply, the more detailed the explanation, the better.

After waiting for a few hours, it was sent away in a few words, and there was a big psychological gap.
