110: There is also a huge chain of contempt between departments!
Chapter 110: There is also a huge pecking order between departments!
"The surgery is complete, and the patient has no adverse reactions during the post-operative observation period, so of course, he needs to be sent back to the ward!"
Nurse Yang Yu glanced at the doctor from the General Surgery Department, retorted unhappily, and immediately immersed herself in more intense work.
"Patients in beds 38, 39... 42, quickly take care of personal matters and prepare for surgery immediately."
"For patients coming out of surgery, the ward Nurse should assist the patient's family with post-operative care..."
All the Nurses in the Emergency Department followed the pre-assigned procedures, engaging in their respective tasks in an orderly manner.
Within four hours, 22 gallbladder surgeries needed to be completed. The medical staff assisting outside the operating room also had to go all out to cooperate both inside and out, achieving the set goals faster and more efficiently. As for slacking off or complaining, that simply didn't exist!
Completing at least half a month's worth of surgeries in one day—wouldn't that surely lead to increased bonuses and performance pay?
If such an intense surgical schedule could be maintained every day, all the medical staff in the Emergency Department would wake up laughing from their dreams.
Once they took off their medical uniforms, they were all fathers and mothers to their children, supporting their elders and caring for their young. Even young people needed to earn more while they were young to afford a bride price.
No one would refuse an explosive increase in their income... And this was just one aspect. Even within the entire Central Hospital, among medical staff of the same level, there was a huge pecking order between departments.
The Emergency Department medical staff, with the lowest income and the most grueling work, had always been at the bottom of the Hospital's pecking order.
But starting today, this situation would likely undergo a fundamental change.
If this volume of surgeries continued, by the time salaries were paid at the end of the month...
Even the Thoracic Surgery medical staff, with their strongest sense of superiority, would try every means to transfer to the Emergency Department after seeing the Emergency Department medical staff's paychecks.
They were colleagues in the same Hospital, saving lives while also ensuring their wallets were far ahead. Only an idiot wouldn't scramble to get such a position and department!
..."One, two... five!"
"How is this possible? It's impossible to complete one surgery in an hour, let alone five at once!"
"No matter how capable Director Zhong is, he couldn't possibly invite all the best General Surgery doctors in the country to the Central Hospital Emergency Department operating room to help at once..."
When five more patients, whose surgeries had just finished, were wheeled out behind Nurse Yang Yu, Liu Chaoran, the attending doctor from General Surgery, was completely stunned!
This kind of surgical speed, beyond all common sense, had completely broken through the limits of his imagination!
He also really wanted to ask how the Emergency Department managed to accomplish all of this.
But seeing the medical staff, who never stopped moving, looking at him with such disdain, he could only give up in frustration... "Let's observe for a bit first!"
"If I go to my superior now, he'll definitely scold me again for misreporting."
"I still don't believe that the Emergency Department can maintain such an exaggerated surgical speed..."
Liu Chaoran, who was about to rush off to find Director Qiu, thought about it and decided to abandon the idea.
Without some actual surveillance results, going to the Director so quickly would inevitably lead to a thorough dressing-down!
...[Prompt: Gallstones in the gallbladder must be treated. Impacted common bile duct stones can be expelled from the body with medication.]
The moment the system prompt reached his mind, Lin Yi's scalpel had already incised the patient's gallbladder.
Almost without needing to think, under Fang Xiaoran's incredulous gaze, Lin Yi moved his scalpel like a blur, beginning to remove all the gallstones from the patient's gallbladder into the prepared tray...
"Round needle, absorbable suture."
Taking the instrument Fang Xiaoran handed him, in less than two minutes, a beautiful purse-string suture incision appeared before all the medical staff in the operating room.
If everyone hadn't personally watched Lin Yi complete the suturing, directly observing the patient's smooth gallbladder surface, the incision was almost invisible.
Such a Perfect Level Suturing Technique also fundamentally eliminated the possibility of the patient developing infection or inflammation later on...
[Ding: Host has completed a surgical suture. All-category suturing experience increased by 1%. 15% more experience is needed to upgrade to Perfect Level Suturing Technique.]
[Ding: Host has completed a suture. Reward: 100 yuan.]
With the suturing reward and no other negative prompts from the system, Lin Yi confirmed the successful completion of the third gallbladder surgery today and immediately stepped down from the chief surgeon's position.
"You perform the abdominal closure, I'm going to the next operating room immediately."
After instructing Fang Xiaoran to handle the post-operative procedures, Lin Yi turned to leave the operating room.
"Doctor Lin, please wait. According to the preliminary examination, there are still a small number of impacted stones in the patient's common bile duct."
"If these stones are not treated, will it affect later recovery and the recurrence of gallstones?"
Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, Fang Xiaoran quickly spoke up to ask.
If the patient were to undergo abdominal closure now, dealing with the impacted common bile duct stones later would be extremely troublesome.
There was even a possibility of a second laparotomy, causing great harm to the patient's body, and potentially leading to patient dissatisfaction... Lin Yi completing so many surgeries at once, it wasn't impossible for him to make a mistake in the rush.
As the assisting surgeon, Fang Xiaoran had to fulfill her duty to remind him... "When I was treating the gallstones in the patient's gallbladder, I already checked. The impacted common bile duct stones and the remaining tiny stones in the gallbladder will all be expelled from the body within a month with the patient's oral stone-expelling medication."
"Proceed with suturing and bandaging immediately. The next patient is already prepared for surgery."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi had already exited the operating room where Fang Xiaoran was.
"Opening the gallbladder, removing the stones, treating the lesion, suturing the gallbladder... it only... took 4 minutes!"
Looking up at the timer in the operating room, Fang Xiaoran even found it hard to believe that Lin Yi had only taken such a short time from entering to leaving.
"Round needle!"
After taking the suture needle handed by the assistant, Fang Xiaoran looked at all the medical staff in the operating room.
"We must concentrate and increase our efficiency to the maximum."
"We absolutely cannot drag Doctor Lin down!"
Lin Yi completed the most complex part of the gallbladder surgery in just 4 minutes.
However, the time spent on anesthesia, laparotomy, suturing, bandaging, and other cooperative work took about half an hour.
It seemed that even with Zhong Xibei, Lu Chenxi, and Fang Xiaoran cooperating with Lin Yi simultaneously, they still couldn't keep up with his speed.
What was going on?
If they didn't squeeze out all their potential, Fang Xiaoran would feel ashamed...
"Understood..."
The medical staff's replies were exceptionally firm, and their movements became even swifter.
Having witnessed Lin Yi's masterful surgical skills, the assisting medical staff were both excited and nervous.
Such highly efficient surgeries, while reducing wasted time, could also greatly increase everyone's income.
Who wouldn't want to work under such a doctor?
"This won't do; their speed is still too slow!"
"I must find a faster method."
After leaving Fang Xiaoran's operating room, seeing that Zhong Xibei and Lu Chenxi's operating rooms had not yet completed the finishing touches of their previous surgeries, Lin Yi decided to adopt a more aggressive surgical plan...
