Chapter 72 Surgical Epiphany
"Good fellow, just for your calmness and effortless grasping technique, I have to let you have a try! Be sure to pay attention to safety when operating and don't hurt the patient's esophagus."
Dr. Fu was truly impressed by this intern.
He is really proficient in all eighteen martial arts.
Has this kid been practicing surgery since he was in the womb?
He had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to practice and improve the grasping technique.
When Dr. Fu was young, he was also a very motivated and idealistic doctor. From the third year of his residency, he was determined to learn from the chief physicians. One day, he would stand on the operating table and manipulate minimally invasive surgical tools and instruments to solve the patient's lesions with a simple and effective method.
It was not until he was 38 that he luckily passed the attending physician examination and was hired as an attending physician at Tuya Hospital.
After that, he began to work hard to achieve the title of associate senior professional.
The grasping technique became the advanced medical skill that he practiced the most.
But time is limited, talent is limited, and conditions are limited.
He has been practicing for 46 years now, but his grasping skills are barely at the lower level of a resident doctor.
The difficulty of improving this medical skill is not particularly high for talented doctors. But for a doctor like him who has no talent in this area, it is simply a nightmare.
It's harder than climbing to the sky.
Based on the grasping skills that Zhou Can had just displayed, Dr. Fu could tell at a glance that Zhou Can was better than him.
Having such an amazing junior, Dr. Fu felt not only envious but also happy.
It’s a great thing that I will have a powerful helper during surgery in the future.
"It's ready. I'll hold the patient's tongue and the laryngoscope for you."
Dr. Fu personally served as his assistant.
Zhou Can carefully manipulated the long forceps into the patient's throat and, with the help of a laryngoscope, slowly approached the location of the fishbone.
Then use the long forceps to clamp the tail of the fishbone in the limited narrow .
The first clamping attempt failed.
The second time... until the fourth time I finally clamped the tail end of the fishbone.
At this time, he was extremely nervous.
My hands started to lose control and tremble.
After taking several deep breaths, he tried to keep calm, and used the long tweezers to exert force a little bit and pull it up.
Unfortunately, the fish bone was stuck too deep.
Coupled with the swelling of the surrounding tissues, the fish bone is firmly embedded in the flesh and cannot be removed at all.
With a little force, the tail end of the fishbone slipped out from the grip of the tweezers.
Zhou Can tried several times, but each time ended in failure.
Sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.
Liu Xia carefully wiped the sweat off his face.
After so much time has passed, the patient can no longer bear it .
Moreover, the patient's throat was stimulated for a long time, causing him to have a severe vomiting reaction.
There are not many opportunities left for Zhou Can.
"It would be nice if I could use pointed tweezers. These round-tipped flat tweezers are much safer and less likely to injure throat tissue. But when you remove fish bones, you can only grab a very short section of the tail of the fish bone."
Zhou Can knew very well that Dr. Fu would never agree to let him use sharp tweezers.
That's the only last resort.
Do not hold the fishbone with the tip of the tweezers, but instead hold the fishbone slightly behind the tip of the tweezers.
This will ensure that the exposed root of the fishbone is clamped as much as possible.
When pulling it back, the tail end of the fishbone will not easily fall out of the tip of the tweezers.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Can tried to follow his previous idea.
After several attempts, I finally got it right.
He closed his eyes and carefully felt the force of the tweezers, trying to find the feel.
It seems that the roots have not been clamped yet.
If you pull it upwards, the fishbone will most likely come out from the tip of the tweezers.
"vomit……"
The patient began to feel severe nausea.
The unexpected movement of the throat allowed Zhou Can's tweezers to successfully clamp more of the fishbone.
He could feel that he had caught the fishbone at its exposed root.
Just like fishing, if it is a small fish, when you pull it up, it will feel very light.
If it is a big fish, the force will be much greater and it will appear particularly heavy.
"Success or failure depends on this one move!"
He still closed his eyes and slowly lifted the tweezers by feel.
laugh!
A slight sound passed from the tip of the tweezers to his fingers.
“Hmm!”
The patient groaned in relief.
A smile appeared on Zhou Can's face. He opened his eyes and slowly pulled the tweezers out of the patient's throat.
Finally got out safely.
I saw a very thick fish bone, more than 2 cm long, clamped in the tweezers.
Seeing that the fishbone that almost took a life was successfully removed, everyone had a happy smile on their face.
[Holding experience +1.]
[Congratulations on your mastery of advanced techniques in extracting fish bones. You will be awarded 100 points of experience in the art of grasping.]
Zhou Can was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.
In addition to the joy of curing the patient, I also unexpectedly received a reward of up to 100 experience points.
The grip technique is very difficult to practice.
The 100 experience points reward was equivalent to half a month of hard training in the dormitory.
So far, he has received multiple experience points rewards.
The highest reward is 100 experience points.
One was when I diagnosed an extremely difficult case, and the other was when I was removing a fishbone for a patient just now and gained a significant understanding of the use of long tweezers.
When I close my eyes, I can clearly feel the force and length of the tweezers gripping the fishbone.
It's a wonderful feeling.
It felt as real as pinching a fishbone with your fingers.
So this is what is called using one's own fingers as if they were one's own arm.
Zhou Can couldn't help but think of the kendo masters and swordsmanship masters in martial arts novels. They can only be considered to have made some progress when they practice the sword or knife in their hands to be as flexible as their own fingers.
So, could the miraculous epiphany he just had be considered a small achievement?
The only difference is that his weapons are surgical instruments such as long forceps and bone-cutting pliers.
After his experience points skyrocketed, his gripping skills improved significantly.
If he were asked to pull out this fishbone again, he would be sure that he could pull it out successfully in one go.
"Okay, okay, it's finally out!"
Dr. Fu's eyes were full of wrinkles when he smiled, but in fact his hair had turned very white.
Doctors are generally prone to premature aging.
Because of high pressure and overuse of brain.
Many doctors have gray hair by the age of forty.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The patient was so excited that he kept thanking them.
"You can't leave the operating room yet. We need to observe the bleeding at the site of the fishbone injury."
Dr. Fu is quite steady in his work.
I didn't become careless just because the fishbone was pulled out.
After laryngoscopy, the bleeding situation at the site of the fishbone injury was relatively ideal.
If a blood vessel is punctured, it will be a big trouble.
The patient thanked the doctor profusely and left the operating room with a smile on his face. His life was saved.
After this lesson, I’m afraid I won’t dare eat fish for a long time.
Dr. Fu breathed a sigh of relief as he had finally cured another patient.
For him, who has mediocre medical skills, he is most afraid of encountering two types of surgeries. The first type has potential risks. The second type seems simple, but has extremely high technical requirements.
The second option is better. At most you will lose some face. You can ask a specialist to come for a consultation.
The first one is very scary.
Medical accidents can occur if you are not careful.
Since Dr. Fu was promoted to attending physician, he has been treading on thin ice every time he is on duty.
However, no matter how careful we were, we still encountered many dangerous situations.
