Chapter 016: Yesterday you ignored me, today you can't reach me!
Purse-string suturing is a common Suturing Technique in surgical operations.
This Suturing Technique is similar to how a purse is made in daily life.
For example, the appendectomy Lu Chenxi is currently performing often uses purse-string suturing.
After the appendix is removed, a continuous suture is made around the incision, then the central part of the incision is buried within the cecal tube, the suture is tightened and tied, which is purse-string suturing.
The damaged part of the cecum that Lin Yi had just clamped with a hemostatic forceps was only about ten centimeters away from Lu Chenxi's working area.
The work he had to do now was the same as Lu Chenxi's.
He needed to repair this cecal damage using the purse-string suturing method as well.
The suturing process not only had to be completed within the specified time,
but the quality of the suture could not have the slightest error, otherwise, after closing the abdomen, bleeding and inflammation at the suture site would cause even more dangerous secondary harm to the patient.
"Tip: Move two millimeters to the right before inserting the needle..."
"Tip: Increase the force of tightening the thread by one point, and the wound will be less prone to bleeding..."
However, Lin Yi stated that he felt no pressure regarding this level of difficulty.
With his Suturing Technique upgraded to Master-level, plus the constant and thoughtful system prompts,
he wouldn't make any mistakes even with his eyes closed.
When Lin Yi used a round needle in the confined surgical space,
and maintained a suturing speed like a phantom, all the medical staff in the operating room were stunned.
Just by looking at the movements of his hands, no one would believe
that these were suturing movements that the young Lin Yi could make.
The Suturing Technique of a top Master Surgeon was nothing more than this...
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"At such a young age, with such a skilled Suturing Technique, this is unscientific!"
Zhuang Shu was greatly shocked.
He blinked his eyes hard, unable to believe the scene he was witnessing.
Even his teacher, James, on his own, would never be as elegant and swift in suturing as Lin Yi was now.
This was no longer surgery, but art...
"Where did this monster come from!"
"Calm down, you must calm down!" Lu Chenxi secretly encouraged herself.
She tried her best to keep her hands from trembling, controlling her rhythm, and continued suturing the appendix.
Almost right next to Lin Yi, the shock she endured was even more direct than anyone else present.
Compared to Lin Yi, her suturing speed was like the difference between a vintage car and a sports car, with no comparability whatsoever.
Before Lin Yi started, she had already completed most of the appendix suturing.
The result!
In less than half a minute, with a quick glance, the other party had already caught up to her speed.
Ten seconds later, the other party had already started tightening and tying...
"Mission accomplished, suturing perfectly completed!"
When Lin Yi announced the end of the suturing, the timer in the operating room
stopped at 45 seconds, a terrifying number.
At this time, Lu Chenxi had only finished one round of suturing and was about to tighten and tie.
It would take at least another minute for her to finish.
When only she was left working in the entire surgical field,
Lu Chenxi inexplicably felt a hint of nervousness and apprehension...
Of course!
Lu Chenxi was not the type to be jealous of talent.
In the subsequent surgical process, all areas requiring suturing were handed over to Lin Yi.
Especially the final abdominal closure suture.
Lin Yi once again gave all the medical staff in the operating room a master-level professional Suturing Technique lesson,
making all the medical staff sincerely exclaim that the Suturing Technique could also be so artistic!
The surgery, which originally required two to three hours, was drastically shortened by more than half.
Just over an hour later, the patient was wheeled to the recovery area for post-operative anesthesia recovery...
"Dr. Lin, I sincerely apologize for my rudeness just now."
The patient had just been wheeled out of the operating room.
Zhuang Shu hurried to Lin Yi, bowed deeply to him, and quickly apologized.
"And I would like to invite Dr. Lin to the Heart Center."
"This master-level Suturing Technique should not be buried in the Emergency Department."
Next, Zhuang Shu, with great anticipation, extended a sincere invitation to the other party.
Lin Yi's exquisite Suturing Technique could only be maximized in the Heart Center.
Zhuang Shu had even simulated it countless times in his mind.
During Heart surgery, with him as the chief Surgeon and Lin Yi assisting, it would be the most perfect golden partnership.
While greatly shortening the patient's operation time, the success rate of the operation would also soar to a terrifying level.
Regardless of whether Lin Yi possessed other medical skills, with just this Suturing Technique, he would definitely have a place in the Heart Center.
"It's over! The promising talent in the Emergency Department hasn't even warmed up yet and has been poached by the Heart Center!"
"Does he even need to choose? The benefits at the Heart Center are more than double those of the Emergency Department!"
"Damn Professor Zhuang! You don't need to slap us in the face while poaching people..."
In the operating room, the Hearts of all the medical staff were in their throats.
This was, after all, the Emergency Department's operating room, and all the medical staff inside were from the Emergency Department.
Having one more highly skilled Doctor not only reduced everyone's workload but also increased bonuses and performance pay.
Zhuang Shu's blatant poaching was like cutting a piece of everyone's flesh...
But everyone also knew that water flows downhill, and people strive for higher places.
As long as Lin Yi wasn't foolish, he wouldn't give up the excellent conditions and benefits of the Heart Center to continue staying in the dilapidated temple that was the Emergency Department.
"Will he agree? What if he leaves?"
Even Lu Chenxi, who was usually detached, felt a sense of apprehension.
If Lin Yi were to go to the Heart Center, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
After all, in the Emergency Department, finding such an excellent surgical first assistant again would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
But she wouldn't stop him in person either.
The two of them were not close to begin with, and hindering a colleague from pursuing better treatment and prospects
was not her, Lu Chenxi's, style...
"Heh!" Lin Yi chuckled softly.
"I'm a Doctor in the Emergency Department, why should I go to some Heart Center?"
"Besides, you all looked down on me yesterday, didn't you!"
Lin Yi rejected the invitation without even thinking.
The Doctor Zhuang's initial arrogance and subsequent obsequiousness had already made Lin Yi very uncomfortable.
"Yesterday you ignored me, today I'll make you unable to reach me!"
Coupled with the scene in the Director's Office yesterday, where he was underestimated by these Department Directors,
Lin Yi, being a normal person after all, couldn't possibly not hold a grudge.
What's more!
Through these two days of practical experience with the system,
he found that the Emergency Department was actually the best choice for upgrading various complex medical technologies.
If he really went to the Heart Center, besides surgical experience, Lin Yi would likely gain nothing else!
"Dr. Lin, there must have been a misunderstanding between us, I advise you to consider it more carefully."
"The benefits at the Heart Center, top Surgeon colleagues, whether it's profit or future prospects, the Heart Center..."
Zhuang Shu didn't mind Lin Yi's attitude and continued to persuade him.
The Heart Center was definitely the ultimate sanctuary for Surgeons.
As long as he appealed to emotion and reason,
he believed
that Lin Yi would definitely understand the pros and cons...
