Chapter 27: 0027 Do one, come one. Come one, do one
0027 Do one, come one. Come one, do one.
Zheng Ren basically had no time to see patients; only when surgical patients were sent over did he have a chance to glance and know roughly the patient's condition.
The opponent's counterattack was very fierce; Zheng Ren smiled faintly, not caring at all.
For a man who, in the system's training camp, performed thousands of appendectomies without eating, drinking, or sleeping, this was nothing.
This patient was diagnosed with a per appendiceal abscess, slightly more complicated than the previous one, but not much more complicated.
Open the abdomen, separate subcutaneous tissue, fat layer, muscle, peritoneum, locate the appendix, separate the appendix artery and ligament, remove it, peel away the abscess, irrigate the peritoneal cavity, suture.
Eight minutes twelve seconds, the surgery ended.
Completely uneventful, doctors watching the surgery livestream in a half-asleep state at midnight curled up in bed, silently watching the surgery.
A per appendiceal abscess is a relatively complicated appendicitis case, but in the surgeon's hands, every step is clear and obvious. This is the level of being able to lift heavy weights as if they were light, with at least decades of skill involved.
But almost all the doctors watching the surgery livestream were very tired; no one shouted '666', and very few communicated.
Everyone just quietly watched.
The wonderful, uneventful surgery was like a lullaby, quickly lulling them into sleep.
One……
Two……
Three……
Five……
All acute appendicitis patients from Haicheng and the surrounding towns and villages gathered at Haicheng First People's Hospital; the General Surgery Department Ward 1 was already swamped. Doctor after doctor and nurse after nurse were called from home to complete preoperative preparations and postoperative care.
Just knowing how to perform surgery isn't enough; for a patient from admission to discharge, there are many more tedious things that need to be done.
Director Liu and Cen Meng's 'schemes and plots' actually helped Zheng Ren complete the mission smoothly, something they didn't know.
'Dingdong~~~' At the moment a certain surgery ended, a melodious, clear voice sounded in Zheng Ren's ear.
【S-rank Mission — Life and Death Trial completed.】
The system's cold, mechanical female voice then appeared, announcing that the blade hanging over Zheng Ren's neck had been taken away.
【System rewards have been issued in advance; please, host, keep striving.】
There were no more rewards, but Zheng Ren was not disappointed. After all, he had already gained the maximum benefit from the system's training camp; thoughts of 'gaining Long and hoping for Shu' are just daydreams.
Moreover, there is still a 'Hostility from Peers' mission waiting for him to complete; although the reward is unknown, Zheng Ren feels his system is not stingy, and the reward will certainly not be bad.
His own system seems not to follow the constraint of step-by-step upgrades; it is quite uninhibited.
This mission is highly anticipated.
Keep going—do as many appendectomies as there are appendicitis cases!
Ten……
Fifteen……
Unnoticed, the sky's edge began to show fish-belly white.
Xie Yiren had become numb, feeling no drowsiness yet also no passion; she simply watched Zheng Ren's surgical movements numbly, handing him the instruments he needed.
General Surgery Department Ward 1 was completely frenzied.
Fifteen appendectomies had been completed; adding the four surgeries done during the day and the first half of the night makes nineteen patients.
Nineteen patients, nineteen beds.
The beds at City First Hospital are usually at full capacity; the sudden increase in patient numbers overwhelms the medical staff.
The head nurse of General Surgery Department Ward 1 and the on-duty head nurse of the hospital came to work overtime, directing on the spot; the hospital also transferred five general nurses for emergency duty.
The urgent problem was solved, but it was still not enough.
Not only the medical staff, but the beds in General Surgery Department Ward 1 were also nearing collapse.
General Surgery Department Ward 1 has 55 regular beds, now fully occupied by patients; the extra beds in the hallway stretch endlessly, all the way to the entrance.
Each patient has at least two caregivers, sometimes more; dozens of people crowd the hallway, like a market.
Patients who have finished surgery receive IV drips on the extra beds, and their families begin to express dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, new patients keep appearing in the General Surgery Department of City First Hospital, making the medical staff feel overwhelmed and see no hope.
The hospital's overall duty officer was awakened from sleep, began handling and coordinating beds, to solve the problem of too many patients and too few doctors and nurses.
Like a falling domino, Zheng Ren's frenzied appendectomy night triggered a chain reaction at City First Hospital.
Under the coordination of the hospital's overall duty officer, General Surgery Department Ward 2 began accepting patients; the head nurse was called over, and more doctors and nurses were summoned for overtime.
The entire General Surgery Department of City First Hospital was like a precision machine, with Zheng Ren as the motor providing core power, letting it run at high speed.
One appendectomy patient after another was sent down; all the idle monitoring equipment in the hospital was concentrated in the two General Surgery Departments, and the beeping of dozens of ECG monitors mixed together like a symphony titled 'Busyness'.
Finally, the hospital's overall duty officer woke the Director of Medical Affairs, who made an on-the-spot decision: patients with relatively mild conditions need not have their vital signs monitored by equipment.
Early morning, at 5:34 a. m., the extra beds in the corridor of General Surgery Department Ward 2 were also filled up.
Meanwhile, patients continued to stream into Haicheng First People's Hospital.
Come one, do one.
Do one, come one.
Zheng Ren could no longer count how many surgeries he had performed; his mind held only one thought: he must find an assistant.
Not for anything else, just to move patients onto and off the operating table.
He was really exhausted; Zheng Ren's old waist felt like it would be worn out into eight pieces.
In the demonstration room, Director Pan propped his chin with his hand, not knowing how many back-and-forths he had slept.
Meanwhile, Director Liu's face was dark as iron, staring blankly at the screen.
Is Zheng Ren a machine? After more than twenty appendectomies, there is not a single flaw; each surgery is extremely standard, showing no sign of fatigue.
Director Liu gradually became disappointed; seeing Zheng Ren's posture, he highly doubted that even dozens more appendectomies would pose a challenge.
Really fucking!
In Xinglin Yuan, the doctors who fell asleep watching the Shou Bing woke up.
Opening their eyes, they saw the Shou Bing still ongoing, as if time had frozen, no different from before they fell asleep.
Was this an appendicitis surgery that lasted all night?
When they discovered the live broadcast recording had reached as many as thirty-two, they all thought they were mistaken.
Did they perform over twenty acute appendectomies last night?
This is truly terrifying!
Such surgical volume and efficiency exceeded all doctors' understanding of the medical industry. Their worldviews shattered, and they seemed to hear the fragile sound of their Inner Mind breaking.
【Halfway through the night, they performed twenty-eight appendectomies? May I ask, fellow Daoists, what is your highest record for appendectomies in a night? Mine is nine.】
【Eleven, I was exhausted, went home and slept for a day.】
【Eight, I didn't even finish my shift, only finished the next Afternoon at three.】
The doctors exchanged their thoughts, and the final Conclusion was only admiration—admiration for this skilled, infinitely energetic practitioner.
Gradually, someone began to notice a problem: over thirty acute appendicitis patients were sent to the Hospital in one Evening; according to medical statistics, the Hospital's service area must cover at least tens of millions of people.
In a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, there should be at least five to ten top-tier hospitals; why would so many acute appendicitis cases suddenly gather in just one hospital?
They didn't doubt anything else; they just felt the video was somewhat unreal, so amazing it made them Doubt their lives.
At 7:48, the anesthesiologist on duty in the Operating Room relieved the exhausted night-shift doctor, staring blankly at the thick stack of anesthesia records.
How many Shou Bing did they perform?!
"What the hell did you guys do this Evening! How did you use up all the disposable sterile Shou Bing packs!" Operating Room Head Nurse's harsh shout came in.
