155: I asked you to help, not to take the job from the main surgeon!
Chapter 155: I told you to assist, not to snatch the chief surgeon's job!
"As long as the exact location of the patient's testicles can be accurately confirmed, I will, of course, no longer reject the surgical plan."
"Solving the patient's problems once and for all is also the result doctors most want to see."
Looking at Lin Yi's confident eyes, Director Zhou gave an affirmative answer.
As the Director of the Urology and Reproductive Medicine Department, she naturally knew that the most suitable treatment plan for the patient now was to completely remove the male characteristics and restore the patient's physical and mental health.
If the exact location of the patient's testicles could be accurately obtained, she would, of course, have no need to stop it.
Although she still didn't know how this young Doctor in front of her confirmed it.
Just based on the absolute confidence in the other party's eyes, Director Zhou had generally believed what the other party said.
Coupled with the miraculous aspects Director Cui and Zhong Xibei praised Lin Yi for, Director Zhou was now somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of outstanding performance this young man could deliver in this collaboration between them...
"Director Zhou, let's go check on the patient's specific condition again."
"Starting last night, I already instructed the patient to fast and abstain from water. If the pre-operative examination is fine, surgery can be performed at any time."
While inviting Director Zhou to the ward for final confirmation, Lin Yi also briefly introduced the preliminary preparations...
"Looking at you, is it true that you must perform the surgery on the patient even without my consent?"
Director Zhou teased Lin Yi with a jest.
Good heavens!
All the pre-operative preparations were done, and only then did he ask her to come for a consultation. This kid's idea was not just any ordinary firm...
"How could that be? Without Director Zhou as the chief surgeon, the Emergency Department would not dare to perform surgery on a patient casually."
"After all, you are the great expert in this field!"
Everyone praises the sedan chair, and Director Zhou was so amiable, Lin Yi didn't mind sincerely complimenting her a few times.
The smooth progress of this reproductive system surgery would not only completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the patient's body.
For Lin Yi, it was very likely to activate the system skills in this field.
He, of course, had to try every means to facilitate a win-win situation...
"Doctor Lin's Suturing Technique has already spread widely within the hospital."
"I heard that Orthopedics Department and Obstetrics and Gynecology Department both want to poach Doctor Lin!"
Upon arriving at Xiao Wei's ward, pulling the privacy curtain, while examining the patient's external genitalia, Director Zhou said thoughtfully...
"It's fine for me to be the chief surgeon to reshape the patient's organs, but Doctor Lin must be my assistant and complete the most important suturing work."
"Since we are going to perform this surgery, we must ensure it is perfect and flawless, so that the Little girl will never again question her identity as a woman!"
Lin Yi's almost perfect and traceless Suturing Technique had long been praised to the heavens by Zhong Xibei.
Judging from the specific condition of the current patient, only a Doctor with Lin Yi's Suturing Technique could handle it.
This was also the best solution Director Zhou could think of from the patient's perspective.
The Little girl still had a long way to go in the future, and as a woman, Director Zhou understood very well that only by allowing the Little girl to have no qualms about her body could she fully accept her identity as a woman from the inside out and thus grow up healthily...
"No problem, Director Zhou!"
"Even if you didn't say it, I would still have to strive for the position of first assistant in this surgery."
Lin Yi readily agreed to Director Zhou's request.
Without wasting words, he could achieve his goal, so why would he have any reason to refuse?
After both sides reconfirmed some surgical details, Lin Yi quickly notified the operating room staff to prepare for the patient's surgery...
"Doctor Lin, without doing any examinations, can you really determine the location of the patient's testicles?"
Entering the operating room, all preparations were completed.
Looking at the patient, who was already under general anesthesia and had her abdominal surgical site exposed, Director Zhou, standing in the chief surgeon's position with her hands held flat, still asked in disbelief.
"Director Zhou, please step aside for a moment. I will determine the precise incision site for the patient."
Lin Yi didn't want to and couldn't explain to the other party, so he could only prove it with his actions.
"Oh... alright!"
Director Zhou stepped away from the chief surgeon's position, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Yi's movements. She was now increasingly curious about how Lin Yi would determine it.
"Scalpel."
As Lin Yi took the scalpel handed to him by the instrument Nurse and slowly pointed it at the patient's abdomen, the system prompt arrived on time.
【Tip: Move down 8 centimeters, make a 90-degree horizontal incision, and the best surgical field will be exposed.】
"You..."
Director Zhou was startled, but to avoid disturbing Lin Yi's movements, she immediately closed her mouth again.
She was supposed to be an assistant, determining the approximate location of the patient's testicles, but how could he just make an incision directly on the patient without even a word, even snatching the chief surgeon's job!
Was this position appropriate? What if the testicles couldn't be found?
But it was too late. Lin Yi had already cut open the patient's skin tissue. What else could Director Zhou do? No matter how complex or anxious her feelings were, she had to endure it...
"Actually, when the patient was in the ward, I already determined the location of the testicles through abdominal palpation, the patient's reactions, and other methods."
While quickly incising the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle layer, and peritoneum to open the patient's abdominal cavity, Lin Yi explained a bit to appease Director Zhou...
"By simple actions like palpation and the patient's reactions, you can determine the exact location of the testicles?"
"Isn't that too much of a game!"
Director Zhou silently recalled Lin Yi's movements during the examination in the ward, and her eyebrows, exposed outside her mask, were almost furrowed together in tension.
Testicles that even precise medical instruments couldn't find, yet Lin Yi could determine their location with just a few simple palpations—it sounded incredible no matter how she heard it.
Due to androgen insensitivity syndrome, the patient's hidden testicles should not have grown significantly since childhood...
"Such a small organ, not a prominent internal organ like the liver or Pancreas, how did Lin Yi discover it through palpation, or... could this guy have just guessed?"
The more she thought of this possibility, the more nervous Director Zhou became, and her hands, placed flat on her chest, began to unconsciously clench and relax.
She even somewhat regretted believing Lin Yi's nonsense.
Not only did she agree to his surgery, but she also let him stand in the chief surgeon's position and perform an exploratory laparotomy on the patient at will...
"God bless, please let him find the patient's testicles!"
Having worked in medicine her entire life, Director Zhou, a staunch atheist, for the first time in an emergency, began to pray to the heavens...
"Alright, Director Zhou, the patient's testicles are now fully exposed."
"The rest is up to you."
Just as Director Zhou was lost in thought, Lin Yi had already stepped back from the chief surgeon's position.
"Found... found them?"
"That was too fast!"
Director Zhou exclaimed, quickly stepped into the chief surgeon's position, and carefully looked into the exposed surgical field of the patient...
