The artificial blood vessel replacement was completed, and then the repair work on the bronchus and esophageal rupture began.
In the room, the only ones skilled in this task were still Chen Cang and Jing Ran.
The surgery had already been going on for three hours!
But the rescue work had started at eight o’clock in the morning!
Chen Cang and Jing Ran had been tirelessly busy since a little after nine in the morning.
Nearly five hours of fatigue, Jing Ran’s body was already struggling to hold up, and the profuse sweating had caused a loss of body fluid, making Jing Ran somewhat exhausted.
Chen Cang was still okay, his endurance was better, not too tired.
Chen Cang looked up at Jing Ran, “You take a break first, and in a while, come and deal with the lung contusion laceration!”
Jing Ran stared at Chen Cang without saying much, nor did he leave, because he knew that the damage to the esophagus and trachea had to be repaired separately, which was also a very delicate task. Nobody else could be of much help, only Chen Cang and he were the experts in thoracic surgery present.
Time continued to tick away…Chen Cang, Jing Ran, Wang Qian, and Zhang Xueliang, this quartet of young surgical team members, had long lost track of time.
Look up to check the time?
No!
Chen Cang didn’t dare, neither did they, their work never stopped.
But they knew that much time must have passed.
Because… the gauzes used to stop the bleeding had filled up the surgery list!
These pieces of gauze seemed to be the only standard in their eyes for recording time!
The nurses had already prepared gauze three times, but it still seemed not enough!
The three directors behind them were quite moved by the team in front of them.
They were the medical baton passers!
The heavy responsibility of healthcare would eventually fall to these youngsters.
And among the youngsters, there was always a need for a leader.
Today, Chen Cang had taken on that role. How old was he?
To be able to achieve so much!
Given time, where would his future upper limit be?
…
After 45 minutes, the trachea and esophagus were successfully repaired!
Chen Cang actively switched positions with Jing Ran, and looked up to ask, “Can you manage it?”
Was Jing Ran tired?
Tired!
But no matter how tired, he was holding on with determination, waiting for his turn to take over when Chen Cang became exhausted.
Compared to Chen Cang, Jing Ran at least was much more relaxed.
Chen Cang actually wanted to do the suturing as well, but…
Bai Qiuen, the big shot, had already left!
Chen Cang’s ability to repair lung contusion lacerations was limited; he could at best offer some help.
And Jing Ran was a professional. Chen Cang couldn’t overreach; orderly division of labor was the precondition for a successful surgery!
At this point, the cumulative amount of plasma input during surgery had reached 2500 milliliters for the patient!
Chen Cang watched carefully, not just to offer help but also to learn!
As a doctor, learning can never be neglected.
Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, earnestly learning Jing Ran’s suturing techniques and handling methods.
It had to be said, Jing Ran truly lived up to being a postdoctoral fellow from Fuwai, those techniques really impressed Chen Cang.
With his participation, the success rate of this rescue operation had increased substantially.
As time went on, the gauze used for hemostasis once again covered the surgery list, and the cumulative amount of plasma input for the patient during surgery had reached 3000 milliliters.
At 17:33 in the afternoon!
All damaged blood vessels and organs of the injured were successfully repaired.
Chen Cang looked at the patient’s vital signs.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief!
“Life saved!”
Four words, exhausting all his strength.
When everyone around heard this sentence, they too finally relaxed.
The young nurse preparing blood bags couldn’t help her tears from falling.
Who knew how excruciating these six or seven hours had been.
Yet the joy of success was so captivating!
Touching to the core!
Tears of excitement, uncontrollably streaming down.
The female doctor from the pathology department also couldn’t help turning away to wipe her tears.
Witnessing a group of young people resolutely rescuing a critically injured patient, nothing could be more moving than the emergency efforts in an operating room.
This was the perfect representation of life!
“`
This moment of glory belongs to this group of young doctors.
And as for Chen Cang, who was responsible for this life-saving effort.
The title of hero is well-deserved!
Unfortunately, this is our job, no matter how excellent, how hardworking, how struggling, or how great you are, you won’t be recognized like Guo Zhiyong.
Because this is your duty!
To save lives and heal the wounded!
Your contributions, unseen by others.
The only reward might just be witnessing the healthy smile of patients…
Stories from the operating room unfold every day.
Ordinary heroes emerge at all times.
In heart-stopping moments, they touch our souls.
Asking for little in return, only longing for a happy smile. (Original)
The vascular repair and organ restoration were perfectly concluded, next was to fix and secure the fracture areas.
Li Jianwei, who was behind the young team, already exhausted to their limits, stepped forward and said,
“Let us take over from here! Kids!”
A single sentence signified the handover between two generations of medical workers.
A single sentence carried on the mission.
Chen Cang nodded; they really couldn’t hold on any longer.
More so, saving lives isn’t about showing off strength; Chen Cang’s earlier insistence on ignoring the directors behind them was not for show!
It was because they couldn’t be of any help.
They couldn’t afford to be distracted by their presence.
The speciality of thoracic surgery is rather demanding, and even if experts like Li Baoshan were impressive, their specialisations limited them.
And now?
For orthopaedic surgery, Li Jianwei and his team were the best choice.
Chen Cang nodded, “Mmm.”
At this casually uttered “Mmm,” the three young doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even hearing Vice President Li Jianwei’s words didn’t relax them, but with Chen Cang’s word, they finally eased up.
This was the conquest of strength!
At this moment, Chen Cang was the true King of this surgery!
Jing Ran gave a smile, stepped back, then suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, with a nurse quickly coming to his aid.
“Dr. Jing, are you okay?”
Jing Ran smiled awkwardly, “I’m fine, I’m fine! Just lost my balance a bit.”
Chen Cang smiled, passing him a few packs of glucose from the nearby surgery table, “Have a drink.”
Jing Ran smiled, looked at Chen Cang and said, “Thank you!”
The two exchanged smiles, each chugging down a 250ml bottle of glucose water.
What a relief!
They were truly worn out.
From nine in the morning until six in the evening, nine hours of exhaustive work, more than six hours fully committed to surgery, without a single drop of water, missing lunch altogether.
Moreover, with prolonged intense focus, nobody could withstand it!
Chen Cang sat in a chair, looking at the ongoing surgery, feeling overtaken by weariness.
Jing Ran simply sat on the ground right where he was, image be damned.
Wang Qian and Zhang Xueliang, though not as spent as the other two, surely had it tough as well.
After several more hours of steadfastness, at 21:30, this marathon eleven-hour surgery of “long-distance, high-difficulty, and complexity” came to a smooth end.
This surgery involved high-level cardiovascular technology, thoracic surgery techniques for the hilum and bronchus repair, as well as complex comprehensive fixation techniques for thoracic and rib fractures in orthopaedics, demanding a lot from the entire team.
Yet, this makeshift army of young teams managed to ward off the Grim Reaper!
At this moment, as everyone looked at the four utterly exhausted young people in the distance, applause broke out!
The honor of this moment belonged to them!
They were truly deserving!
Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, a smile breaking across his face, as if the weight on his shoulders had lightened considerably.
ps: For now, three updates. There will be more tomorrow at noon. Thanks to Boss Ling for the Alliance Hierarch, and thanks to “Xi Ge”, “Bing Tian Mua Mua Da”, “Poet Dreamer”, and Lu Renyi for their 10,000 rewards; thank you, everyone.
Additionally, tomorrow’s update is in honor of “Grand Lady Gege”. These few chapters were quite tiring to write, so to ensure quality, I have not been writing too hastily.
Finally, thanks for all the support!
The veteran will give his all to write this book well, to share the joys and sorrows of medical workers. There will certainly be some frustrating elements in the story, but what I want to say is… life is truly imperfect. Chasing after pure excitement will surely lead to a tasteless experience, too precious to discard.
So I believe we should strive to immerse everyone in the role of “medical workers”, to experience the diverse human conditions of patients — their happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. (To be honest, several times I’ve written myself into tears, sigh!)
So with that acknowledgment, I salute!
Last but not least, about the monthly ticket… cough cough, serious face/JPG!
Asking for monthly tickets… shamelessly.
Asking for monthly tickets… making a scene.
