After 100 days of signing in system, My first operation shocked the world - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Doctor, You Can’t Drink Alcohol!

Conference room…

When Lin Feng entered the consultation conference room, it was almost full of doctors. As soon as he entered, all the doctors’ eyes turned towards him, focused and attentive. They were all staring at Lin Feng, the intern from the emergency department, who had gained quite a reputation.

“Because of your heroic efforts in saving Emergency Department Director Zhou Guorong’s life during the Black Tiger Incident, you have become famous overnight!” Li Yuan exclaimed.

The photo of the “Black Tiger Incident,” where you performed the life-saving procedure, has been widely circulated within the hospital. It has also humbled many arrogant doctors.

It was rumored that Lin Feng had been observed throughout the procedure during the last pancreatic surgery by a renowned surgeon from the Provincial Duck Hospital. After the surgery, the surgeon praised Lin Feng highly and invited him to intern and work at the Provincial Duck Hospital.

That was the prestigious Provincial Duck Hospital, the number one hospital in Lingnan Province, and ranked sixth nationwide.

Their own city hospital would be fortunate to make it to the top hundred. It was said that the hospital, fearing other hospitals would snatch away Lin Feng, even offered him a generous salary.

The exact amount of this substantial salary was still unknown. Therefore, many people had been eager to meet this “renowned” and “mysterious” intern, Lin Feng.

And now…

As soon as they saw him in person, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!”

He was incredibly good-looking and surprisingly young. Combining his various “achievements,” it felt like watching the lead character in a TV drama.

Many people even thought, “What if Lao Liang collapses during surgery, and Lin Feng takes over? That would be great. We can see if Lin Feng’s skills are as impressive as the legends say.”

(Liang Guomin: “…” I have something to say, but I’m unsure if I should!)

Lin Feng found a seat and sat down. The triage continued.

• • Lung function: Normal

• • Kidney function, thyroid function, liver function: Normal

• • No history of cerebrovascular disease

• • Non-smoker

No diabetes

Lin Feng reviewed the MRI and CT scans and silently noted the findings.

• • After half an hour, the consultation ended, and a detailed plan was discussed.

• • Plan: “Simple occlusion method.” This involves occluding the ascending and descending aorta above and below the aneurysm at room temperature, removing or opening the aneurysm, and transplanting an artificial blood vessel.

• • Points to note: After occluding the main aorta, it increases the burden on the left heart and causes ischemia in important organs beyond the occlusion, such as the spinal cord, liver, and kidneys. The spinal cord tissue is the most susceptible to ischemic damage. The safe duration for tolerating ischemia after occluding the thoracic aorta at room temperature is around 45 minutes for the kidneys, 30 minutes for the liver, and only 20 minutes for the spinal cord. Exceeding these time limits will result in serious damage.

At this moment, the nurses were also preparing systematically. The patient signed the consent form. The patient was placed on the operating table.

Anesthesia.

Sterilization drapes…

All the doctors donned their surgical gowns and entered the operating room. An hour later, the patient’s chest was opened. The lead surgeon, Liang Guomin, picked up the scalpel and made an incision on the left side of the chest, entering through the sixth or seventh intercostal space.

Then the sternum was opened, and the posterior end of the rib above or below was cut to enlarge the incision and expose the surgical field. Indeed, the artery had ruptured, causing significant bleeding.

There was a substantial accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity. Next was dissection, which had to be performed very cautiously. Any mishap could damage the lung because this artery was adhered to the lung. If blood enters the lung and blocks circulation, it could result in embolism, which could be fatal.

1 minute…

5 minutes…

10 minutes…

Liang Guomin was being extremely careful, with sweat pouring from his forehead. At that moment, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy in his head.

He thought to himself, “Oh no!”

During lunch, he had a meal with a medical instrument company’s CEO and a little alcohol.

On the one hand, he enjoyed drinking, and on the other hand, the CEO was too enthusiastic and generous, so when the atmosphere got lively, he couldn’t resist having a bit. He didn’t think it would be a problem, but he suddenly felt dizzy during this critical surgery.

“No, I must persevere!”

Liang Guomin assessed the situation and believed he could continue because he had performed this type of surgery seven or eight times before, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

But then…

Swoosh~

Liang Guomin’s face changed.

He had just trembled!

During the dissection, he accidentally cut the lung. The first and second assistants’ faces changed. The doctors outside the operating room also had a change in expression.

“Something’s not right!”

“It went wrong!”

A strange atmosphere began to fill the room. Fortunately, the injury from the dissection wasn’t significant.

“Xiao Li, suture it up.”

“Yes.”

Li Yuan quickly sutured the wound. It was a basic procedure, and he was skilled at it. Liang Guomin continued to dissect the adhered aortic dissection and the surrounding tissue.

Swoosh~

He trembled again!

Liang Guomin: “…………”

First assistant, second assistant: “…………”

Nurse: “…………”

Other doctors: “…………”

The atmosphere became even stranger. But no one dared to say anything; it was silent. Liang Guomin’s face turned pale. On one hand, he was feeling dizzy; on the other hand, he had made two consecutive mistakes.

And this wasn’t even the most critical moment of the surgery. If he made a mistake during the arterial occlusion, that would be a big problem!

At that moment, his surgical knife stopped. He hesitated.

Should he stop the surgery?
