Chapter 392 - 274: Surgery Complete, Preparing for Amputation
"The current time is 4:57 pm on December 3, 2022, the patient is Lu Yongbo..."
"Surgery begins!"
After verification, Qin Feng extended his hand,
"Drape, push the brain power system over, prepare to open the skull."
The first assistant is Zhang Shuang, and the second assistant is Lin Ran.
"Scalpel."
The instrument nurse handed over the scalpel, and he looked at the head that had been prepped, his mind automatically forming a matching visual.
He didn’t even need to mark the position, he directly cut open the scalp.
"Retractor."
The speed was unbelievably fast!
...
Zhang Shuang, standing nearby, was somewhat overwhelmed by Qin Feng’s rapid motions.
While Lin Ran was staring intently at Qin Feng’s actions, her mouth gradually opened wide, shocked.
Although the emergency department often encountered such brain hemorrhage patients and had followed the director and neurosurgeons into the operating room, she had never seen surgery performed so quickly.
If she had to describe it, it was like a high school student solving an elementary math problem, so simple they didn’t need to think.
"Zzz~
The electrocautery opened the skull, the dura mater was lifted, rinsed, and disinfected.
"Gauze."
Qin Feng took the physiological saline-soaked gauze, covering the bone flap, and immediately used bone wax to stop the bleeding.
The hemorrhage in the patient’s brain was exposed to view, with a visible hematoma obscuring part of the cerebral nerves, adhered closely.
"The bleeding is quite severe~"
He then began clearing the blood and decompressing...
He observed that the brain nerve occupying the lesion was ischemic and infarcted, with some edema.
After all the clearing was done, the brain was closed.
The surgery was over.
In just two and a half hours, a high-difficulty complex brain hemorrhage surgery was completed.
However, though the life was temporarily saved, how well the recovery would be was up to fate...
"Alright, the surgery is over."
Clang~
The scalpel dropped into the tray, and Qin Feng stepped down from the operating table.
"How was it, a bit fast, wasn’t it?"
He smiled, looking at the sweat-drenched Zhang Shuang and the bewildered Lin Ran.
The two of them looked at each other upon hearing this, nodding in unison.
The speed was indeed too fast!
Lin Ran, as the second assistant, saw it relatively clearly, while Zhang Shuang could only force a bitter smile.
Forget about closely observing the process, just helping had kept him so busy he couldn’t watch the entire procedure.
"No worries, watch the video a few more times later, it will be quite useful."
Qin Feng advised.
His entire surgical process could be described as flawless, precise, and standard!
Even among neurosurgeons, he was a top-notch role model.
So learning from his surgical video would undoubtedly be highly beneficial.
...
The patient was wheeled out of the operating room and directly sent to the ICU for close monitoring.
Lu Yongbo was not out of danger yet; given his cerebral vascular infarction symptoms, it was uncertain if he could recover and to what extent.
If the postoperative recovery wasn’t good, it might lead to physical and cognitive impairments.
This was beyond a doctor’s control, even with Qin Feng’s system!
Everything depended on self-healing...
"Ah, good, good, thank you, thank you, I’ll hang up then."
Exiting the operating room, Xia Dongyang, who had been waiting anxiously, quickly hung up the call and came forward,
"Doctor, how’s Uncle Lu doing?"
"The bleeding has been stopped, but he’s still in a critical period. We need to wait until he gets through it to know his condition."
Qin Feng briefly explained.
"Thank you, doctor, please save him, he has elderly parents and children to support."
Xia Dongyang pleaded,
"I’m already gathering the money, I will definitely pay it all."
"Don’t worry, we’ll do our best."
He nodded.
After leaving, he returned to the ICU, as the patient was currently under his supervision.
After completing the surgery, Qin Feng asked the nurse to keep an eye on Xia Dongyang, mainly regarding his financial situation.
If it didn’t work out, he would have Chen Dong come over to draft an assistance agreement to continue the patient’s treatment.
In fact, ever since the foundation started expanding nationwide, he had thoroughly reviewed its reports.
The financial aspect was synchronously handled by Liu Yan’Er and a specialized financial audit firm, and the legal aspect was managed by two top firms in Beijing and Guangchuan, so there were no worries.
As for the review and operation of aid recipients, this was the foundation’s essence.
The most important thing is that only money truly used for patients would trigger system fund reimbursement.
In other words, he only needed to track various expenditures and patient fund usage and infusion to directly check if his money was being misused, embezzled, or subjected to other illegal activities.

"Qin Feng, you’re finally back."
Just as he sat down to rest, Director Liu Haihong from the burns department hurriedly walked in,
"Take a look at this examination report, I think we can consider surgery."
Qin Feng rose upon hearing this and took the report to examine it closely.
The burn patient had undergone four to five days of biological therapy, and the pictures showed the right leg had started significant muscle regeneration, with not much nerve damage.
The severely burned left leg had also improved a lot!
The upper thigh above the knee was similarly showing pink muscle regeneration, but the lower leg below the knee was still in a primitive state.
Due to the severe burn depth, the necrosis in this area was indeed as noted in previous consultations, with no chance left.
The nerves and bones had entirely lost regeneration capacity, and if it were delayed, it might lead to infection, endangering life.
Currently, recovery had reached its peak.
The right leg could be saved, and for the left leg, amputation below the knee was needed, allowing the thigh to remain.
Afterwards, just fitting an artificial limb wouldn’t significantly impact life.
If both legs were truly amputated, it would be truly cruel.
"Director Liu, I agree with your opinion; let’s have another meeting and prepare for surgery."
After reviewing it, Qin Feng nodded with a smile,
"Also, there shouldn’t be any resistance from the family side, barring unforeseen events; it can be scheduled for tomorrow."
"Qin Feng, no wonder Old Meng went all out to get you here, even pounding his fists on the table,"
exhaled Liu Haihong, full of admiration,
"If I had a doctor like you, no amount of money could replace you!"
"Director Liu, please stop praising me, hehe~"
Qin Feng smiled, shaking his head,
"I still have a lot to learn, and my experience with surgeries like amputations isn’t ample."
"Hahaha~"
Upon hearing this, Liu Haihong couldn’t help but laugh,
"I heard about your complex brain hemorrhage surgery in the emergency room. Is there anything you can’t do?"
"Alright, enough with the teasing, I’ll head to orthopedics to discuss the surgery plan, and we’ll have a discussion tomorrow morning."
"Alright, Director Liu, rest early and don’t overwork."
Qin Feng nodded, getting up to see her out.
Once the office door closed, turning around, he found Lin Hai and a bunch of people staring intently at him.
"What are you all looking at?"
"Qin Feng, do you know something?"
Lin Hai pointed at a few others on duty, speaking with envy,
"Before you came, our office never had other department directors coming in frequently."
"Why, is there a problem?"
Qin Feng asked, puzzled.
"It’s a big deal!"
Ai Xiao’ai sprang from her chair beside them,
"Their visits here are more frequent than going to director’s offices!
Are you even suited to be here?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly felt a wave of ’malice’, unable to stop taking a half step back,
"You all aren’t thinking of isolating or bullying me, are you? This is a hospital, not a school."
"Tsk~~~"
Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes in exasperation.
Lin Hai got up, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, leaned in to his ear, and with a mysterious grin, said,
"Let me tell you, our department standard is to have one director and two deputy directors, whereas now we’re just short one deputy director.
How about you move out, hehehe!"
Qin Feng: ಥ_ಥ...
Inner thought: You guys are up to no good!
