55: How dare you perform surgery when the surgeon is not here!
Chapter 055: The Main Surgeon Isn't Here, Yet You Dare to Operate!
"How can this be? Doctor, you can't believe what my husband says!"
"He'll do anything to save a few measly bucks!"
"Money can be earned again, but if a person is crippled, they won't even have the chance to earn money."
"This damn man, how can he not understand such a simple truth..."
Upon hearing the decision to abandon Limb Replantation, the middle-aged woman yelled in a fit of rage.
She was practically fuming at her stubborn husband!
Before coming to the Hospital, she had lectured her husband the entire way.
After much effort, she finally convinced him to agree to the surgery.
But before the Doctor could even start, he changed his mind again.
If this continued, it would clearly leave no way out for her and her daughter...
"Please try to control your emotions; things might not be as you think."
"I hope you can make the most rational decision in a calm state."
Faced with the patient's family's extremely agitated emotions, Lu Chenxi could only patiently console her.
She had originally wanted to be more direct and tell the family the reason why the patient changed the surgical plan.
Now it seemed that to get the family to willingly sign, she would have to take some time and use a roundabout strategy.
"First, I will objectively inform you of the patient's current injury status..."
In the time that followed, Lu Chenxi patiently explained the complex situation of the patient's wound.
She also thoroughly explained the two options given to the patient in the operating room to the family.
"As a Doctor, considering your family's current financial situation..."
"I suggest giving up on that less than ten percent chance."
"Direct disinfection and bandaging can also reduce the patient's suffering."
Finally, she offered what she believed was the most reasonable suggestion.
"How can it be so little, only a ten percent chance..."
"My husband is so strong; if one foot is crippled, how will he live his life!"
"I'm not afraid of hard times, but I'm afraid my husband will be ruined for life..."
The middle-aged woman muttered to herself, distraught.
She hadn't expected her husband's situation to be so serious!
She could hear the Doctor's good intentions.
Although money was important, her husband's dignity and confidence in his future life were even more important!
"Doctor, I don't care!"
"I will never give up the chance to try, even if there's only a one-tenth chance."
"Even if we have to sell everything and borrow from the entire village, my husband must have a chance!"
"What if it works out..."
The middle-aged woman's expression was firm as she pleaded, grasping Lu Chenxi's hand.
"I know you're a good Doctor."
"I also believe that you will do your best to save my husband's foot."
"Doctor, I'm kneeling to you."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman suddenly knelt before Lu Chenxi.
"I'm just a woman, I don't have much ability."
"Please, Doctor, please..."
Watching the middle-aged woman suddenly kneel, about to kowtow.
Lu Chenxi hastily got up and used a lot of strength to barely help her back into the chair.
But as for what to say next, she truly didn't know how to begin...
The patient had clearly stated that he had given up on the plan for Limb Replantation.
The key was that she had proposed this plan.
Now, the patient had agreed, but the family completely refused.
Even though she had explained the risks and financial pressure of failure so thoroughly and clearly.
The family was still determined to give it a try!
"This is absolutely maddening!"
Lu Chenxi's head was about to explode with worry.
If she returned to the operating room and told the patient that his toes still needed to be reattached...
Lu Chenxi could already imagine the patient fighting with her...
"What to do..."
"What to say..."
Lu Chenxi was terribly frustrated.
The patient was still waiting in the operating room; a decision had to be made, whether to save or amputate.
She was a senior Doctor who had performed many surgeries and met many families.
Being in such an impossible situation was a first for Lu Chenxi in her medical career...
"You wait for me in the reception room; I'll go discuss it with your husband again."
After instructing the patient's family, Lu Chenxi hurried out of the family reception room.
Now, she could only hope that the patient in the operating room could persuade his wife.
Otherwise, this surgery would be in an insoluble predicament...
After going through a rigorous disinfection process again and changing into surgical scrubs.
Lu Chenxi walked into the operating room with her head down, looking dejected.
But as soon as she stepped in, she saw everything happening in the operating room and was instantly stunned.
"Bandaging complete, mission accomplished!"
"Thank you all for your cooperation and support."
"Move the patient to the recovery area; once the observation period is over, transfer him directly back to the general ward."
The final bandaging procedure was completed.
Lin Yi announced the overall end of the surgery while thanking all the medical staff in the operating room.
"Dr. Lin is too modest; Doctor Lin's technique is always delightful to watch."
"This is what we should do. In the future, for Doctor Lin's surgeries, we guarantee unconditional obedience."
"The smartest thing the Emergency Department ever did was find an expert like Doctor Lin!"
"With Doctor Lin here, everyone's bonuses and performance will definitely go up another level..."
The doubts before the surgery were happily forgotten by all the medical staff present.
Everyone had initially thought that Suturing Technique was Lin Yi's most proficient medical skill.
But after witnessing his Limb Replantation technique, they realized how shallow their understanding was.
Many of the medical staff were experienced veterans of the Hospital and had witnessed many Limb Replantation surgeries performed by various Department Directors.
However, compared to Lin Yi's Limb Replantation level, it was simply not on the same tier; there was no comparability whatsoever.
Surgical time, efficiency, the perfection of the interface, and even the artistry of the technique.
The difference between the two was like the vast chasm between a craftsman and a master.
Based on their many years of experience, to put it bluntly,
No matter how many years those Department Directors performed Limb Replantation surgeries, they still wouldn't be a tenth as good as Lin Yi...
"Ah!!!"
"Doctor Lu, when did you arrive..."
It wasn't until everyone celebrated the successful completion of the surgery that
the relaxed medical staff noticed Lu Chenxi standing at the door, lost in thought.
"When did I arrive?"
"What kind of talk is that!"
"Isn't this my own operating room?"
"It's as if I'm an outsider from another department who came for a consultation!"
"My main surgeon isn't here, yet you dare to operate!"
Lu Chenxi silently grumbled, her mood indescribably complex.
Judging by everyone's state, she knew that the patient's right foot had already undergone wound Suturing Technique.
Since things had come to this, there was no time to pursue the issue of responsibility.
The problem was!
As of now, she still hadn't obtained the patient's family's signature.
If the patient also couldn't sort out the family's opinion, refused to re-sign, and insisted on Limb Replantation.
The thoroughly sutured wound would have completely lost even that one-tenth hope of recovery.
A Doctor performing surgery without the family's consent.
This was the prelude to a major incident...
