Chapter 347 - 182: All Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals—A Training Opportunity Appears 3
It’s undeniable that he is a true winner in life.
A successful case of a comeback.
Professor Wu is both teaching and performing surgery.
He has already made an incision on the patient’s hand, over 11 cm long.
This wound is considered relatively large.
Dr. Qin and Huang Xiaoren are responsible for holding retractors, providing a clearer surgical view for the chief surgeon.
Ruan Xiaoqin is in charge of hemostasis and suction of the accumulated blood in the wound.
Watching Dr. Ruan with the Electric Coagulation Knife in hand, Li Jingsheng felt a surge of envy, and his hands itched to try it himself.
If only he could give it a try.
He has dreamed of buying an Electric Coagulation Knife for the clinic.
Professor Wu’s incision technique is decent.
At least he doesn’t falter; the bleeding isn’t excessive.
He precisely avoided somewhat larger blood vessels.
Being able to become the head surgeon doesn’t necessarily mean having strong surgical skills, but there are certainly some standout qualities.
And foundational skills wouldn’t be too poor either.
With the surgery proceeding normally, Li Jingsheng was invited over just to stand by and watch.
Professor Wu is unfamiliar with his abilities, so naturally, he wouldn’t dare to readily give him the opportunity to get hands-on.
Moreover, there’s the distinction between insiders and outsiders.
Opportunities for training are prioritized for Group Two’s doctors.
After all, Li Jingsheng is merely an outsider.
Late at night, without even returning to the clinic, he ran over to attend this surgery, only to stand far away and watch briefly. It was inevitable for him to feel discontented!
He instinctively checked multiple surgical skills on the attribute panel and saw a Life Value exceeding two hundred points.
His eyes flickered, searching hard for an opportunity to showcase his skills.
This surgery involves removing the distal ulna and surrounding periosteum, operations with high risk and technical demands, unlikely to be entrusted to him.
Didn’t they see that even Ruan Xiaoqin, this attending physician, only had the chance to be the first assistant?
So the only opportunity he might seize would be for suturing.
"Sweat wipe!"
At this moment, Professor Wu seemed to encounter a slight situation.
One could see a somewhat large arterial vessel at the location of the ulna to be removed, branching out to the end of the hand.
The light yellow one beside it is likely a nerve.
Before removal, the vessels, nerves, and lesions must be separated.
It appears quite challenging.
Primarily due to some degree of adherence.
The one wiping sweat for Professor Wu wasn’t a nurse; it was Ou Qinglan.
There are only three nurses in the operating room: one instrumental nurse, one circulating nurse, and the remaining one is an anesthetic nurse who came with Doctor Yu.
It’s unlikely for the anesthetic nurse to wipe sweat for the chief surgeon.
Anesthetic nurses and anesthetic doctors are partners; they only handle anesthesia work and stabilize life signs during surgery.
Similarly, the instrumental nurse wouldn’t do such a task.
She wears gloves and needs to maintain cleanliness and sterility.
If a circulating nurse is to wipe sweat for the chief surgeon, it would require the chief surgeon to have some status.
Professor Wu presumably lacks this level of status.
Of course, if manpower is insufficient, it’s okay for the circulating nurse to do this job.
But at the moment, it’s almost inevitable for Ou Qinglan to be doing this task.
Li Jingsheng watched as his girlfriend wiped sweat for Professor Wu, feeling slightly uncomfortable but also recognizing it’s part of the job.
Professor Wu continued to attempt to separate the patient’s lesion-area vessels and nerves, with sharp eyes and an intensely serious expression.
Sweat beads continued to appear on his forehead, yet the progress of the surgery was extremely slow.
It was evident that his separation technique was not up to par.
At best, it was at a skilled level.
Equivalent to the proficiency level of a senior resident doctor.
The separation technique is one of the most challenging surgeries to advance in, and as a chief surgeon specializing in orthopedic surgery, Professor Wu hadn’t had many opportunities to practice this skill.
Reaching this level is already commendable.
Li Jingsheng felt a pounding heart.
He now had mastery over both Sharp and Blunt Separation Techniques, though both at Entry Level, yet he had over two hundred Life Value points.
He could definitely sharpen his skills on the spot, instantly leveling up these two separation techniques.
"This vascular plexus is quite tricky!"
Professor Wu began searching for a graceful retreat, after all, standing before so many junior doctors, operating room nurses, and anesthetists, his reputation was gradually diminishing.
"Remember when facing situations like this, do not rush. Slow work yields fine results; you must separate bit by bit. A mishap cutting an artery would be troublesome."
While speaking, his expression immediately changed.
He also paused his hands.
He appeared excessively startled.
Li Jingsheng clearly saw that he almost nicked the vessel.
Very likely the outer wall of the vessel was already injured.
Luckily, the work was meticulous, with very cautious movements, otherwise, he would face imminent embarrassment right on the spot.
Almost a mishap, Professor Wu evidently was somewhat strained.
His spirits probably felt a bit shaken.
Li Jingsheng was equally resolute; seeing the fleeting opportunity, he firmly seized it.
Without hesitation, he bit his teeth.
He directly elevated the Sharp Separation Technique from Entry Level to Master Level.
Re-examining the vascular plexus and nerve, he felt confident to handle it.
However, for some areas, adopting the Blunt Separation Technique would be better.
Thus, he proceeded to elevate the Blunt Separation Technique to Master Level as well.
If his Life Value permitted, he certainly desired upgrading to Minor Achievement Level for greater security. As his ’wallet’ wasn’t full, he could only act according to his capacity.
With Master Level Sharp and Blunt Separation Techniques, managing this surgery was entirely adequate.
Among Professor Wu’s doctors, Ruan Xiaoqin was the most cunning; his mastery of flattery seemed superb.
He was adept at gauging the thoughts of superior doctors, able to win favor with superiors.
Since Li Jingsheng joined orthopedics from day one, one could tell by Ruan Xiaoqin’s various attempts at creating discord that he was assisting Professor Wu in dealing with Li Jingsheng.
Now that Professor Wu intended to recruit Li Jingsheng, Ruan Xiaoqin’s attitude towards him had notably changed.
No longer engaging in mischief.
Li Jingsheng was unclear about Ruan Xiaoqin’s level of medical expertise.
According to the laws of human survival, those skilled at flattery generally aren’t good at executing technical tasks.
Because they could receive decent treatment through flattery alone.
There was no need to dedicate themselves to mastering technical skills.
The remaining Qin Fei and Huang Xiaoren, silently holding retractors, neither of them uttered a word.
Given Dr. Qin’s personality, if he were confident in completing this separation, he would’ve aggressively intervened long ago. He wouldn’t miss any chance to showcase himself in front of Ou Qinglan.
As for the other two resident doctors and three interns and standardized trainees, even tasks like skin suturing were uncertain if they could manage appropriately.
"Professor Wu, I see your physical exertion’s quite severe. Could I give it a try? I used to perform similar tasks at First Hospital."
Li Jingsheng had no choice but to tell a well-intentioned lie to seize this practice opportunity.
