Chapter 13 The Terrified Patient
Gao Yuan, who was standing next to him, had a cold look in his eyes. Although he was wearing a mask that obscured most of his facial expressions, one could still tell that he must have a gloomy face at the moment.
Tang Han, Han Dong and other interns all looked at Li Quan with envy.
For a difficult operation like this, they can only watch and learn, and are not qualified to participate at all.
Although Li Quan was only the second assistant, he was able to accumulate a lot of practical experience and gained much more than them. This also laid the foundation for Li Quan to become the first assistant in the future, or even to perform the operation himself.
All preparations were completed. After Li Quan checked that everything was correct, he respectfully reported to Professor Liu and Doctor Ren.
"Teacher, Doctor Ren, you can start the operation!"
"Well, the preparation work is meticulous and thorough, and all very standardized, very good!" The more Professor Liu looked at Li Quan, the more satisfied he became.
I didn't realize how outstanding this student was before, and his performance in all aspects was just average.
Now I really want to accept Li Quan as my disciple immediately.
Li Quan has always been careful and down-to-earth. But before, he didn't have any outstanding achievements and was just average in every aspect, so naturally, Professor Liu didn't think highly of him.
Yesterday, I performed the ancient technique of pushing the palace, which shocked all the professors.
It is like a dusty gemstone that has accidentally removed the dirt on its surface and suddenly shines brightly. Its appearance and other features that were not paid attention to before have also been paid attention to.
"Look, the patient's CT scan shows that the uterine fibroids are growing in this location, and it has not yet spread. This is the best time for surgery. We must consider comprehensively where to start the operation. The patient's fetus is still small and does not fill the entire uterus. Because it is not fully developed, its activity is poor. This is undoubtedly very beneficial for our surgery."
When Professor Liu performs surgery, he usually teaches at the same time.
"To ensure the safety of the fetus, we performed another B-ultrasound to monitor the fetus' position before the operation."
Li Quan, the second assistant, was already holding the B-ultrasound probe and scanning the patient's belly.
The shadow of the fetus soon appeared on the monitor.
Also displayed are uterine fibroids.
However, it is difficult to achieve high definition with B-ultrasound imaging, which requires experience to make accurate judgments. It can be combined with previous CT imaging to verify each other.
"Okay, the B-ultrasound shows that the fetus has not moved. The seven of you will each tell me where to make the incision based on the area where the fetus and myoma are located." Professor Liu was not in a hurry to make the incision.
He just tried it and it seems that the patient's anesthesia effect has not yet reached its optimal level.
This will take a while.
"I think we should make the cut from here because it can reach the location of the uterine fibroids directly without harming the fetus. At the same time, it can also avoid the dangerous abdominal aorta."
Gao Yuan couldn't hold it in any longer. Theory was his strong point, and now that he had the chance, he immediately rushed to speak.
The location he pointed to was four centimeters below the belly button.
The membrane here is closest to the uterus and is the golden position for the knife.
"I also think we should cut from the position Gao Yuan mentioned!"
"I agree!"
Four people successively agreed with Gao Yuan's opinion.
It is undeniable that what Gao Yuan said does make sense.
Only Han Dong and Li Quan remained silent.
The other five interns had basically the same opinion.
Gao Yuan looked at Li Quan with a little pride.
He thought there was no better place to cut, and Li Quan had only two choices: either agree with him or point out a wrong place to cut.
No matter which one Li Quan chooses, he is doomed to lose.
Han Dong did not express his opinion for the time being because he was unwilling to boost Gao Yuan's prestige.
In fact, deep down, he also supported Gao Yuan's choice of knife position.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Han, what are your opinions?" Professor Liu asked when he saw that the two had not spoken for a long time.
Gao Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and his head, which was originally lowered, was raised.
Tang Han, Wu Lan and others looked at Li Quan with sympathy.
In the fight between Li Quan and Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan took the initiative this time and Li Quan was in a passive position.
"Teacher, I think it is safer to cut from the side." Li Quan was calm and confident with a faint smile.
After seeing where he was pointing, Gao Yuan almost burst out laughing.
"Ha, Li Quan, did you study medicine for nothing? If you cut from the right groin, the distance from the uterus is more than seven centimeters beyond the position I chose. Choosing a faraway position instead of a near one will cause greater surgical harm to the patient. It will also greatly increase the difficulty of the operation... It's really stupid!"
Gao Yuan criticized Li Quan harshly, without giving him any face at all.
The patient opened his eyes in fear.
"Doctor, you can't use me as a guinea pig. That intern is too unreliable. You must not let him perform surgery on me."
The woman didn't care about being embarrassed and protested quickly.
She didn't understand medicine, but after listening to Gao Yuan's clear and logical explanation, she thought that Li Quan's medical skills were extremely poor.
"Ms. Hu, you don't have to worry. My name is Liu Xun, and I'm a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Huier Hospital. I will be the lead surgeon for this operation. I am just teaching them and testing them. As for where to make the cut and how to perform the operation, it's all up to me. Their answers won't interfere with me in any way."
Professor Liu noticed that the patient was nervous and frightened, so he hurriedly explained.
After comforting the patient, he glared at Gao Yuan with some dissatisfaction.
"Xiao Gao, we are just discussing learning, you don't need to make a big deal out of it. Also, the cutting position you proposed seems good, but it's not the best."
The cutting position chosen by Gao Yuan was not the best?
Everyone looked at Professor Liu expectantly.
"Teacher, I don't know where is the best place to cut?" Tang Han asked humbly.
She is not just a vase. She is not only beautiful but also talented.
A female doctor who is both talented and beautiful.
"The best place to cut is the one chosen by Li Quan!" Professor Liu's words shocked everyone.
No one expected that Li Quan, who was criticized by Gao Yuan, was actually right.
"Teacher, I don't agree!" Gao Yuan was originally very confident about the cutting position he had chosen, but was rejected by Professor Liu.
That's fine.
Because he is just a student, it is not shameful that his medical skills and experience are not as good as Professor Liu's.
But Professor Liu actually said that Li Quan was right.
It was like a silent slap in the face.
"It's okay if you don't agree. I guess many of you don't understand why the teacher said that the knife position selected by Li Quan is the best. Xiao Li, tell everyone why you chose that place as the knife position."
Professor Liu said to Li Quan with a smile.
"Teacher, there is only one reason: safety! Cutting from the position selected by Gao Yuan is certainly easier, but it is very easy to hurt the fetus. Even if you have rich surgical experience and superb skills, it is difficult to guarantee that the fetus will not be hurt when removing uterine fibroids. Even if it just breaks the amniotic fluid, it is enough to cause fatal harm to the fetus."
Li Quan seemed unusually calm.
