“Old he returned to the Department of Anesthesiology after he finished visiting department head Mao. As long as there were no major problems, it was impossible not to take on emergency surgeries. ”
“Moreover, Division Chief Mao was young, in good physical condition, and in critical condition. He could be considered a “”standard”” emergency patient. ”
!!
Old he reported to director Xu as he returned to the Department.
“This was how it was. He would definitely be scolded for disturbing someone’s sleep in the middle of the night. However, if he didn’t make the call, director Xu would probably give old he a good scolding the next day. ”
Why was his life so bitter? old he felt very helpless.
“Sure enough, when the report said that director Mao of the Science and Education Department needed an emergency operation, director Xu only mumbled a few times unhappily, indicating that he understood, and then hung up the phone. ”
Old he was waiting for the patient to be sent over.
“Even though it was just acute appendicitis and only required epidural anesthesia, old he did not dare to take it lightly. ”
He carefully checked the medicine used for emergency treatment and checked the machine before he was relieved.
Old he was used to being careful because he had never had good luck in his life.
Old he was a little happy when he recalled the time when he went to Nanyang with boss Zheng and swept the Affiliated Hospital of the Imperial Medical University. He almost whistled.
“When would boss Zheng be able to establish his own business? If that was the case, she would go over and her days would be as beautiful as they could be. ”
“Even if she had to squat in the operating theater every day, she would be willing to do it. ”
“Soon, chief Mao was sent over. Old he prepared to give chief Mao epidural anesthesia. ”
Mao was not in a good state. His reaction was slow and his nerve reflex score was very low.
“””Old Wu, why do I feel like something’s not right?”” Old he did not rush to administer anesthesia. Instead, he waited for professor Wu to come up and asked,”” ”
“””What’s wrong?”” ”
“””She can’t move. I asked her to turn over, but she didn’t move.”” Old he looked at director Mao worriedly. ”
“””It’s a shock from an infection. “” Professor Wu sighed and said in a low voice,””””Four … Five hours ago, I suggested emergency surgery, and you had to hang in there. If the nurses and doctors didn’t notice it in time, it might have gotten worse tomorrow. “” ”
Old he frowned and missed boss Zheng.
“He always felt that something was wrong with today’s matter. Maybe it was because it was too comfortable to be on the same channel as boss Zheng, and he felt uncomfortable with another person. ”
“Since there was no way to delay it, old he could only administer an epidural anesthesia for chief Mao with the help of professor Wu and the chief resident. ”
“The surgery went smoothly, and the appendix did not hide away mischievously. ”
Old he heaved a long sigh of relief.
“Under the laparoscope, the perforated Appendix was very serious, and it took a lot of effort to remove the appendix and deal with the infection in the abdominal cavity. ”
“After sending chief Mao back, old he heaved a sigh of relief. ”
Another patient with chest trauma arrived. Old he didn’t have time to think about it and hurriedly went to the anesthesia room.
It was a busy night and he didn’t sleep until 6 in the morning.
“When he was done, old he took a sip of water to regain his energy. He was still old. When he had just started working, he could still play basketball the next day after a night of surgery. ”
“But now, he really couldn’t keep up. ”
Old he was slightly nervous as he went through the patients he operated on that night from the beginning.
“Logically speaking, it was nothing. ”
“””I’m thinking too much.”” Old he sighed. He laid down and wanted to take a nap before he went home. He felt a little regretful that he didn’t have boss Zheng’s help in the emergency surgery at night. ”
He had just laid down and had not even closed his eyes when his phone started ringing madly.
Old he’s heart trembled. His premonition might have come true.
He quickly picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a VIP Ward.
“She picked up the call in a flurry.””Hello?”” ”
“””Doctor he from the Department of Anesthesiology?”” It was a girl’s voice, probably the nurse in the VIP Ward. ”
“””I am. What’s wrong?”” ”
“””Professor Wu asked me to call you for emergency consultation.”” ”
“””What happened?”” ”
“””Division Chief Mao is incontinent.”” The nurse said in a low voice. ”
“……”
Old he’s brain buzzed.
“What appeared in his mind was the puncture of the patient’s spinal cord during painstakingly anesthetized, damaging the blood vessels, pressing on the spinal cord, and causing the patient to be paralyzed in both lower limbs … ”
Old he jumped up from the bed and felt his vision blur. He almost fell to the ground because of the low blood pressure.
Old he put on his clothes haphazardly and jogged to the VIP Ward in the shortest time possible.
“The atmosphere was tense, and the nurses in the corridor who were changing the medicine for the patients were all silent and in a hurry. ”
Old he rushed to director Mao’s ward and saw that professor Wu was doing a physical examination with a gloomy face.
“Director Mao was sobbing, as if he couldn’t take such a huge blow. He was in a daze. ”
“No matter what professor Wu said, she seemed to be unconscious and uncooperative. ”
“In fact, she didn’t need to cooperate. It was an objective fact that her lower limbs had extremely weak reflexes. ”
Professor Wu glanced at old he and took a step back.
Old he still refused to believe it and personally checked his body.
“As expected, both lower limbs were paraplegia! ”
He was considering the problem of the chest and waist.
“Not to mention whether the paralyzed person was the director of the Science and Education Department of this hospital, how could a perfectly fine patient be paralyzed just like that? Without an explanation, it would not make sense no matter where he went! ”
Old he’s face turned pale and his hands began to tremble.
“””Old he, let’s go and do a CT scan together.”” Professor Wu didn’t add insult to injury. The two of them were now tied together. ”
“Even if it was confirmed that the problem was anesthesia, professor Wu was still in danger. ”
“First, he had to make a clear diagnosis, and then … He could talk about the future later. ”
Old he nodded.
He took the drip and sent director Mao to the CT room.
“When the video appeared in front of him, old he’s legs went soft and his vision went black. ”
There was a clear change in the 8th and 9th section of Division Chief Mao’s chest.
“Since it was a painstakingly anesthetized patient in the lower abdomen, old he clearly remembered that he had chosen to insert the needle at the 12th chest and the 1st waist. ”
Did he really hit something that caused blood swelling and nerve compression?
“Professor Wu also saw the film and shook his head. He took a deep breath, patted old he’s shoulder, and led his men to send chief Mao back. ”
“Old he sat in the CT room in a daze for a while, his mind in a mess. ”
He didn’t think much of it and just sat on the chair.
“The doctor in the CT room knew old he. After he was done with his work, he came out and patted old he’s shoulder, sighing. ”
“””Old he, go back and rest. The chair on my side is cold. You … Take care of your health. “” ”
Old he was stupefied.
“””Why don’t you take a break in my duty room?”” He saw that old he was not in a good state and was afraid that something would happen to him, so he asked again. ”
“””I’m fine. I’ll be fine after resting for a while. “”Old he said with a bitter smile. ”
Another emergency patient had come for a CT scan. He did not have time to comfort old he and turned around to get busy.
Old he was depressed.
“He had just gotten on boss Zheng’s good side, and now something so big had happened … ”
Boss Zheng?
Old he suddenly remembered that simple and honest smiling face.
Ask?
“He couldn’t possibly think that his skill level was low, right? ”
Don’t ask?
What if there was a chance to turn things around?
Old he struggled for nearly a minute before he picked up the phone and dialed.
