Chapter 1734: 1675 I Am Willing

Disinfectant liquid, whether hydrogen peroxide or iodine povidone, or anything else, is irritating.

But not disinfecting is definitely not okay; postoperative infection will surely be severe.

Five times is already more than enough.

Feng Jianguo came back holding an external saline bottle, seeing this side start to rinse, he said: "Zheng Lao Ban, seeing loaches at home scared them silly."

"Oh? How so?" Zheng Ren asked.

"They said they ate loach at home 6 or 7 days ago, and nobody noticed missing two or three." Feng Jianguo gave a wry smile, "You tell me, what would being forced by constipation make it like, with loach and hydrogen peroxide both."

"Postoperative chemical intestinal burns and abdominal infection will need time to recover." Su Yun said.

"At home they said they took fruit guide tablets and soaked senna leaves in water, but no matter what method, it was useless." When Feng Jianguo went out, he obtained "useful" information and told Zheng Ren and Su Yun.

"Come to the hospital for an enema to relieve constipation; if once doesn't work, try twice—there's always a way. Why bother fumbling at home?" Su Yun said.

"Seize the time for surgery." Zheng Ren said, "Make rounds, prepare antibiotics."

Feng Jianguo scrubbed his hands again, went up onto the stage, and began suturing the intestine.

The intestine inside had severe chemical enteritis, and the rupture was jagged. After re-disinfecting with hydrogen peroxide, the rupture turned pale, and the mucosa showed red swelling and bubble symptoms.

After carefully suturing, Zheng Ren ran his hand along the intestine to check for any other rupture sites.

Soon he found another spot where the outer wall had been bitten.

After Zheng Ren did a local rinse, he sutured the outer wall of the intestine.

Upon further exploration, no active bleeding was found.

Rinse with warm saline, leave antibiotics in place, and begin closing the abdomen.

The intestine wasn't severed; Zheng Ren hesitated a few times, but in the end he still went to the System Operating Room to try the difference between doing a stoma and not doing one.

The surgery without a stoma had a slightly higher completion rate; obviously the system still judged that although the patient's intra-abdominal infection was severe, it could be endured.

Zheng Ren chose to trust the Big Pig Trotter.

Since not doing a stoma, the remaining work meant little. Starting from closing the abdomen, Zheng Ren signaled Quan Xiaocao to come up and suture.

"Zheng Lao Ban, if you have another colonoscopy procedure on your side, or if we need to do one on ours, could you bring Xiao Cao?" Feng Jianguo said with a smile.

"Is Xiao Cao interested?" Zheng Ren asked.

Quan Xiaocao knew this was a turning point in her life; a couple days ago, Director Wei brought it up, saying earnestly that this was a major direction for the future development of Gastroenterology Surgery.

But as for how to choose specifically, Director Wei said to let Quan Xiaocao consider it herself.

The surgery had just finished; Teacher Feng had been plotting for a long time, yet he brought it up as if casually, and Quan Xiaocao felt a bit nervous.

She didn't know whether her nervousness came from being frightened after just seeing the loach taken out of the abdominal cavity, or from being unable to decide on a major life choice.

"Xiao Cao is still too timid, not at all sociable." Su Yun sighed, "If I were her, I'd just bang my head down. Boss, what do you say we do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's do the surgery." Zheng Ren said solemnly, a rare sight: "In the new society, we don't go for that."

"Tch." Su Yun made an effort to give Xiao Cao a look; Xiao Cao clenched her fists with both hands, as if she had made some major decision, and finally she strained to say: "I am willing."

"……" Su Yun was speechless, then burst out laughing: "Xiao Cao, is this Zheng Lao Ban proposing to you? And you say you're willing."

Zheng Ren also felt something was off, and glanced sideways at Xie Yiren.

Xiao Yi Ren's eyes smiled sweetly; it seemed she wasn't angry or jealous, just taking it as a joke. Zheng Ren then relaxed and asked: "Xiao Cao, do you have time to come over to our side for a look?"

Quan Xiaocao also knew she had misspoken, but in that situation, saying anything seemed wrong.

A mishap occurred; although Xie Yiren wasn't angry, Quan Xiaocao instantly became timid again, the courage she had just mustered turning to ash in an instant.

Zheng Ren laughed and said: "It's fine; if you have time, follow me to do a colonoscopy. But on my side we lack the conditions, so…"

"Zheng Lao Ban, Director Wei said the department needs to bring in a colonoscopy machine. ESD surgery must not be left behind by the laparoscopy room." Feng Jianguo said with a smile.

"Okay." Zheng Ren turned around, tore off his isolation gown, and said: "Then I'll head back first; Xiao Cao, you close the abdomen."

Su Yun left together, while Xie Yiren and Lao He couldn't go.

The surgeon, after finishing the critical part, leaves the other minor tasks to the assistant; it seems to have become a matter of course.

But it's relatively rare for such an awesome assistant like Su Yun to follow the surgeon off the stage.

Feng Jianguo saw Zheng Ren off, glanced at the external saline bottle on the ground, and urged: "Xiao Cao, once you start, you must study earnestly; this is a great opportunity that could change your life."

Lao He deeply agreed.

If I were twenty years younger, I'd really do whatever Zheng Lao Ban told me to. It's a pity that now I'm over forty; I've studied anesthesiology for decades, and at this point to throw it all away and start over would require more courage than I have.

Actually, now it's also pretty good.

"Lao He, how did you thank Zheng Lao Ban for that matter today?" Seeing Zheng Ren and Su Yun leave, Professor Feng asked Lao He with a smiling squint.

"Ah, I'm just a man; if I were a woman, I'd surely have promised myself to him." Lao He joked.

Just after he said that, he suddenly realized something was wrong—Zheng Lao Ban's official girlfriend was still on the operating table; would joking like this be okay?

Offending the boss once or twice isn't a big deal, but if you offend the boss's wife…

Let alone saying that in the Medical Team you'd contend with that pair of twin sister flowers; you'd likely be crushed to death in the next second.

"I didn't go, but I heard Director Wei say that Zheng Lao Ban truly exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, turning the tide." Feng Jianguo continued, saying: "From now on, your doing the work of an ox and a horse is all deserved."

Lao He saw that Xie Yiren showed no change, as if she hadn't heard his words at all, and only then did he relax.

"That's for sure, Old Feng—you have no idea how scared you made me." Lao He, now recalling, still has his back soaked in sweat.

"Over all these years, I've never once encountered this; you say your luck is like that." Feng Jianguo said.

"Yeah, I asked my classmates and friends, and even queried the national anesthesia group chat. Only three people have seen this situation, and two of them only heard about it."

"What about the remaining one?" Feng Jianguo wondered.

"The remaining one, at the time kept an eye out and begged the Orthopedics Department doctor. After the surgery, taking the tissue for pathology, that's when it was confirmed to be a false accusation." Lao He said, "But the matter has already gone through medical arbitration committee arbitration, resulting in a one-year suspension."

"……" Feng Jianguo was speechless, silently suturing.

Lao He looked at the patient lying on the operating table and still felt he was incredibly fortunate.

It must be a turn of luck; it surely is.
