109: Even the top surgical master can't use his skills so outrageously!
Chapter 109: Even a top Surgeon God couldn't have such an outrageous time!
"Spit it out!"
"I'm annoyed, and I don't have time to listen to your riddles here!"
Director Qiu looked up at his good-for-nothing student, Liu Chaoran, and cursed him angrily.
Just now, he was dragged by Bai Ji to the Director's Office and was inexplicably called an 'annoying dog' by Lin Yi.
Even now, Qiu Lixin was still so depressed he felt like spitting blood.
For his student to come running to him with riddles at this moment, wasn't that just walking into a trap?
"It's like this, Teacher. You asked me to keep an eye on the Emergency Department's movements, didn't you?"
Liu Chaoran quickly recounted what he had seen and heard.
Having followed Director Qiu for so long, he knew his teacher's temper all too well.
Anyway, this kind of temper tantrum wasn't new, and Liu Chaoran had long grown accustomed to the irritable Director Qiu...
"Just now, when I was sending a transferred patient downstairs, the Emergency Department had already gradually started performing Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery on gallbladder patients."
"Is that so new? Does that even require you, kid, to report it?"
"We transferred a total of 22 patients. If the Emergency Department doesn't start operating soon, do they even have the capacity to admit other patients?!"
Before his student could finish speaking, Qiu Lixin impatiently interrupted him.
"I told you to keep an eye on the Emergency Department's movements, but you need to use your brain a bit! Is this normal situation even worth mentioning?"
Qiu Lixin scolded his student, furious at his lack of initiative.
He was already in his late thirties, almost forty, yet he still couldn't distinguish between priorities when doing things.
He had to admit, even in simple suturing techniques, his student's gap compared to the detestable Lin Yi was truly not small...
"If it were just that, I wouldn't have specifically run over to report to you, Teacher!"
Liu Chaoran's words clearly carried emotion.
He was interrupted by his teacher before he even finished speaking, and then he was called brainless to boot.
Even a student with the best temper would have some limits, right?
"What do you mean?"
"How dare you talk to your teacher like that? Have your wings hardened, daring to talk back to your teacher?!"
Qiu Lixin's anger flared up instantly.
It seemed he had been a bit lax in the department recently, even his own student dared to talk back to him loudly!
"Lin Yi from the Emergency Department said..."
"He wants to complete all 22 gallbladder surgeries by 5 PM!"
"And he explicitly stated that these are the complex Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery..."
Before Director Qiu could erupt in greater anger, Liu Chaoran blurted out all the information he knew in one go.
After hearing this news, if his teacher still called him unreasonable, then he could only accept it!
Completing 22 gallbladder surgeries within 4 hours—if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed such an extraordinary thing could happen...
As an attending Surgeon in the General Surgery Department, performing gallbladder surgery on patients was one of their most proficient surgical skills.
Forget about preserving the patient's gallbladder; even with the minimally invasive cholecystectomy that General Surgery frequently performed,
Liu Chaoran himself, operating, would absolutely not finish in under 3 hours.
Even with General Surgery's top Surgeon, the renowned Director Qiu, his best record was just around two hours per surgery.
What could be done in four hours?
Director Qiu, performing minimally invasive cholecystectomy, could at most do two surgeries.
Now, Lin Yi from the Emergency Department actually said he wanted to complete 22 complex Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery that required incisions within four hours. Even exaggerating for publicity wouldn't be this absurd...
"It's 1:05 PM now. Finishing 22 gallbladder surgeries for patients by 5 PM, and still preserving the patients' gallbladders!"
Director Qiu looked down at the time on his watch, then looked up at Liu Chaoran, confirming again in disbelief.
"Are you sure you didn't mishear?"
"It's four hours, not four days!"
This was beyond the normal comprehension of a doctor. Director Qiu looked at his student as if he had seen a ghost.
Either the student misheard the time, or the Emergency Department collectively suffered from mass hysteria!
Completing 22 surgeries in four hours—Director Qiu had reason to believe the Emergency Department must have some obsession with the Guinness World Records.
Is this a promise a normal doctor, a normal Hospital, would dare to make?
"Teacher, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I misheard too!"
"Just as I was coming over, 22 gallbladder patients were already being wheeled into the Emergency Department operating rooms, one after another."
"Judging by that stance, they really seem to be going ahead with the surgeries for the patients!"
Hearing his teacher's doubts, Liu Chaoran quickly swore an oath to confirm.
Putting everything else aside, the spectacular sight of patients being wheeled into the operating rooms, one by one, was quite chilling...
"Is Zhong Xibei crazy?"
"The Emergency Department only has five operating rooms."
"Even if they brought in external help from other Hospitals, they couldn't start so many surgeries at once!"
"I can't figure it out... What on earth is that old fellow up to..."
Qiu Lixin's eyebrows were practically twisted into a knot, yet he still couldn't understand what Zhong Xibei from the Emergency Department's purpose was in doing this...
"Alright, you still go to the Emergency Department."
"Try to stay there and keep an eye on the movements in their operating rooms at all times."
"Report to me immediately if anything happens!"
Since he couldn't understand or figure it out, Qiu Lixin could only take things one step at a time.
After sending his student away, he picked up the phone and dialed Director Bai's number in Thoracic Surgery.
"Beep..."
After just one ring, Qiu Lixin immediately hung up the phone again, muttering to himself.
"That old fellow Bai Ji is a jinx. Anything that gets tangled up with him is guaranteed to end badly."
"This time, I'll handle it myself and let that old guy see my, Old Qiu's, capabilities!"
Thinking about the events of the past few days, Director Qiu increasingly felt that he should stay away from Bai Ji during this period...
"You tell me to go monitor the Emergency Department, how can you say it so easily?"
"You've offended everyone in the Emergency Department, and now you shamelessly send me over."
"You don't understand, the way the Emergency Department medical staff look at us General Surgery doctors, their eyes are practically daggers!"
"They never teach any practical skills, just think about how to take advantage. Following a teacher like this, I'm really out of luck..."
The first thing Liu Chaoran did after leaving Director Qiu's office was not to go directly to the Emergency Department, but to head up to the Hospital's rooftop platform instead.
He puffed on his cigarette until the tip glowed red, then used the ash to burn the weeds on the ground, making them sizzle, all while silently cursing non-stop under his breath!
As an ordinary Surgeon, this was his only way to express dissatisfaction and anger towards his superiors...
It wasn't until three cigarettes were finished, and his jaw started to ache a bit,
that Liu Chaoran finally patted his butt and went down from the rooftop, leisurely walking towards the Emergency Department...
"What's going on? Why is this patient coming out?"
"Isn't he supposed to be undergoing surgery in your operating room?!"
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Emergency Department operating room, he saw the patient being wheeled out.
Liu Chaoran rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then quickly grabbed the medical staff pushing the gurney and asked.
He couldn't understand, no matter what, that even if the Emergency Department had invited the nation's top Surgeon God,
it would be impossible to complete a patient's gallbladder surgery in the short hour he spent smoking...
