Wang Zhong’s family was waiting outside the operating theater quietly and helplessly.
His eldest son had cried for some time. At the moment, he was letting his mind wander while he was a little exhausted, and he watched a few relatives walk around like ants.
*Bang*
The door to the Operating Area was pushed open, and all of the patients’ family members sitting in the waiting hall stood up.
“Liu Mingyuan’s family?” the nurse shouted loudly before she looked around.
The family members at the side immediately rushed forward and asked, “Doctor, is our Old Liu alright?”
“The surgery is successful. Later, we will send him to the ward, and someone will talk to you about the standard precautions for the patient…”
“Okay, okay.” The family members quickly agreed.
Wang Zhong’s eldest son watched them in envy while secretly hoping that he could get a similar answer.
After a long time, the door to the Operating Area was opened again, and it was yet another patient who came out.
The Wang family became quieter, and even the talkative relatives slowly lost their interest.
*Bang*
Another surgery was completed, and another group of patient’s family members left.
Wang Zhong’s eldest son could not help but stand up, stopped the doctor who wanted to leave, and shouted, “Doctor… Doctor, my father’s been inside for a very long time, can you help us take a look?”
“He’ll come out once the surgery ends.” The doctor frowned, and he was obviously not willing to help out.
Wang Zhong’s eldest son did not want to let him go. He said, “Please, show us some kindness. You just have to let us know what’s happening inside. My father’s surgery is being performed by Doctor Ling Ran…”
“Ling Ran’s surgery?” Zhao Leyi was the one who stopped this time. He sized up the patient’s family members and asked, “What surgery is it? And what illness does he have?”
“Liver cancer.”
“Liver cancer?” Zhao Leyi quirked his eyebrows.
He had many reasons to be surprised, and the main reason would probably be… because he could not even hope to perform liver cancer surgery.
At a fundamental level, the Emergency Department was not a specialist department. Regardless of whether it was critical illness, minor or severe wounds, the Emergency Department only needed to learn the basics of how to treat them. When they encountered more complicated injuries or diseases, they could just refer the patient to specialist departments.
Therefore, forget about the attending physicians, even the chief physicians of the Emergency Department like Chief Physician Tao would not touch liver cancer. However, from another perspective, doctors of the Emergency Department were also surgeons, and they would not be able to avoid the desire to approach such high-end surgery.
“I’ll go and take a look, just wait here.” Zhao Leyi agreed before he turned around to enter the Operating Area, but he did not directly enter the operating theater. Instead, he went to the visitation room and pushed the door to enter.
In the visitation room, there were two rows of doctors. They were surgeons and internists, and most of them were interns, housemen, and resident doctors.
Even when they heard the sound, most of them did not bother to turn to look at who entered.
Since the Emergency Medical Center built this visitation room, many doctors liked to visit and take a look whenever they were free. Compared to watching in the operating theater, they felt more relaxed and had more freedom in the visitation room. Some doctors even brought along their lunches like burgers to eat in the visitation room. They learned and chatted while eating, and it was very comfortable.
“Seeing something before” was a very precious experience for surgeons.
“Seeing something before” was the foundation for participating in certain types of surgery. For simpler surgery, watching one case and moving on to perform one case could already propel him to the status of a chief surgeon for that surgery. It would be more complicated to learn a complex surgery, but basically, they were the same.
Despite the fact that many doctors needed to watch many surgeries and participate in many surgeries in order to get a chance to be the chief surgeon for a surgical method, for the most part, watching multiple surgeries and participating in multiple surgeries was just to make them “feel” safe.
For most doctors, the modes of learning a complex surgical method and a simple surgical method were totally the same.
Naturally, before performing a complex surgical method, they needed to accumulate experience in performing simple surgical methods to complete the pre-requirements to perform complex surgical methods.
“Doctor Ling is not performing very fast.”
“This is a liver cancer surgery, and doing it fast will not make people live longer.”
“Who knows how long people with cancer can survive?”
Among the doctors who came to watch the surgery, most of them did not hope to perform liver cancer surgery, therefore, many of them were just there for fun.
However, there were also doctors from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery who really observed Ling Ran’s surgery seriously.
“The patient’s liver is not big. If he cuts like this, will the remaining liver be sufficient?” Attending Physician Duan Yiwen from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery talked like he was mumbling to himself.
The visitation room had a surface area of around one hundred square feet. Even though his voice was low, everyone was still able to hear him.
Zhao Leyi immediately raised his head and looked at the screen.
Compared with looking down through a floor-to-ceiling window, the video broadcasted live on the screen enabled him to observe more clearly.
Zhao Leyi also noticed that the number at the bottom right corner of the screen was at forty-two at the moment.
A total of forty-two computer units were watching Ling Ran’s surgery at this moment, and this number also caused Zhao Leyi’s emotions to surge slightly in his heart.
The number was not small for a professional live stream.
Besides, this surgery was just a normal surgery by Ling Ran. He did not do any promotion about it, and neither were there any topics surrounding it, but it was just merely Ling Ran performing the surgery.
Although in recent months, Yunli Medical Company set up many screens in many big hospitals, and this made the frequency of a high number of doctors watching the surgery live streams to appear very often. But to normal doctors, it was still not easy for them to have a two-digit live stream show when they performed surgeries.
“Last time, when Doctor Ling performed hepatectomy, he always encountered situations where the patient might not have enough liver for him to survive. So in this perspective, Doctor Ling is the expert.” Another voice was heard from the corner. Zhao Leyi could not help but look over, and he saw an unfamiliar attending physician from the General Surgery Department.
“I’ve seen it before. It was a great surgery in cooperation with the Pathology Department. A few hospitals in Beijing had also built a Pathology Department in the operating theater because of this.” Another doctor from the General Surgery Department also spoke in a conversational tone.
Zhao Leyi pursed his lips. The department director of the General Surgery Department tended to praise Ling Ran, and this time, his tendencies had extended to his subordinates, and this made Zhao Leyi even unhappier.
*Ring*
The phone rang in the operating theater on the lower floor.
A few seconds later, the circulating nurse repeated loudly, “Borders are clear.”
Gasps of amazement were heard in the visitation room.
In the operating theater, Ling Ran’s voice was loud and clear. “Alright, continue the surgery.”
“Yes.”
“Continue the surgery.”
The morale of the doctors in the operating theater was greatly boosted, and they answered loudly.
A two-hour surgery was not easy for any doctor.
Forget about everything, just the fact of standing still for at least two hours was already not an easy feat for people. Besides, during this period of time, the doctors had to spend their physical and mental energy while performing the surgery.
When they saw the light of hope in the surgery, they were excited.
“Saving lives” was very exciting, and it also provided a great sense of accomplishment. There was no need for any other stimulation from money or promotion, their endocrine systems would just begin to secrete epinephrine madly.
Zhao Leyi looked at the faces on the lower floor and saw the shine in their eyes, and he could not help but stand up and walk out of the visitation room.
He did not talk to Wang Zhong’s family, but he only looked at them from afar. He stared at their anxious expressions and found it funny. For some weird reason, Zhao Leyi could not stop himself from laughing.
