Chapter 603: Can You Do It?

“Wear a lead apron and go on stage!” Zheng Ren was brushing his hands as he answered with a roar.
Wang Liren was stunned. Did he have to wear a lead apron? What kind of surgery were they doing?
However, he did not say anything.
During the emergency treatment, only one voice could speak. If too many people barked out orders or spoke over one another, the patient would probably turn cold on the operating table while waiting for them all to be in agreement.
Su Yun said, “Chief Wang, we’ll change the chest bottle on this side later.”
After saying that, he went to the other side of the patient and began to lower the other chest bottle.
Zheng Ren, who was wearing his lead apron, walked in with his hands raised.
When he came to the equipment table, Xie Yiren had already prepared a curved plate, oval pliers, and gauze.
There was no verbal communication needed and they did not even look at each other. Everything was so natural.
Zheng Ren took the curved plate and the circulating nurse poured half a bottle of iodophor into it. Zheng Ren began to disinfect the equipment.
“Su Yun, which side are you going to do first?” Zheng Ren’s words were a little awkward but in the operating theater, everyone understood him.
“They’re all the same.” Su Yun saw that after the closed chest drainage bottle was connected, the bottle was full again. The black and red blood drawn out was overflowing. It was obvious that he was a little angry and impatient.
“Yanran, after the anesthesia is done, raise the right side.” Zheng Ren ignored Su Yun’s anger and turned his head to speak to Chu Yanran.
“Okay.” Chu Yanran’s tracheal intubation was done. She began to connect the ventilator and push propofol and other drugs intravenously.
“Call Lil Fugui over.” Zheng Ren continued, “Tell him to hurry up.”
“Chief Zheng, are you preparing to…” Wang Liren asked from the side.
“The damage to the liver is serious. We will do interventional surgery to stop the bleeding and at the same time, investigate the causes,” Zheng Ren disinfected the liver and answered without even looking at Wang Liren.
“Chief Zheng, I can do liver surgery,” Wang Liren said carefully.
Doctor Han was a little surprised. On the way, he heard that Chief Zheng had saved Fang Lin from the chest department in Imperial Capital. By chance, he had helped Chief Wang diagnose and operate on a patient with P-J syndrome.
No matter how skilled he was, Chief Wang should not be so cautious.
For someone like Chief Wang, performing a liver suture was not that big of a task. It was not a problem at all.
“Scrub your hands and go on stage.” Zheng Ren did not say anything unnecessary.
However, he did not say that his name was not Professor Rudolf Wagner.
Sterilizing and spreading the sheets, Zheng Ren was fast but not messy.
He did not do an interventional radiography directly. Instead, he stood in the position of the main surgeon. Without waiting for Wang Liren and Doctor Han to scrub their hands, he asked Chu Yanran to help him check the sterilized lamp. He stretched out his hand, and the hemostatic forceps fell into his hand with the iodoform gauze.
It was still most comfortable to perform surgery in one’s own home. Zheng Ren thought of the ‘encounter’ in the operating theater outside the university. It could not be compared to when he was back at Sea City.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Zheng Ren began to disinfect the patient.
He wiped away the iodophor with the dry gauze and stretched out his hand before the surgical knife was slapped into his palm.
He took out the midline incision of the abdomen and with a single cut, the skin was cut open. It was pale and did not even bleed.
“Accelerate the blood! Be quick!” Zheng Ren smacked the scalpel to the side of the patient’s leg. He reached out and used the hemostatic forceps he had at hand.
Blunt dissection. Step by step, it was fast but not done in a panic. With the tacit cooperation of Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren was fast but Xie Yiren still followed him with ease.
After Wang Liren and Doctor Han finished brushing their hands, they walked in wearing their lead aprons.
It was their first time wearing lead aprons, so both of them were not used to it.
After they came in, they saw that Zheng Ren had already used one hand to pull open the abdominal cavity with a retractor, while the other hand was blindly checking the patient’s abdominal cavity.
The aspirator was inserted into the patient’s abdominal cavity, and the black and red blood was sucked out.
F*ck… He was so fast, he could do all that in the time it took them to brush their hands? Wang Liren was stunned for a moment.
He had seen Zheng Ren’s surgery before, but he had only helped him cut open the intestinal polyps. After Zheng Ren finished removing the intestinal polyps, he did not do anything else and quietly left the stage.
In Wang Liren’s impression, Zheng Ren’s surgery was good but it did not tell him enough. After all, cutting the intestinal polyps was only a small surgery. He could not tell the true depth of his skills.
Initially, he thought that with him and the three doctors around, there was no need to call Zheng Ren for emergency treatment.
Wang Liren did not have any qualms about Old Chief Physician Pan’s actions. It was impossible.
However, this was only a small matter. He did not care much about it.
At this moment, when he saw that Zheng Ren had opened the abdomen by himself and he was already investigating while they had been brushing their hands, Wang Liren was shocked.
He quickly put on the sterile surgical gown.
They were only in Sea City. If the chief physician or the group of professors in his own hospital were able to do this, he would probably get a scolding before he went up on stage.
The circulating nurse was making a call to get blood. Wang Liren put on the sterile surgical gown and took the sterile gloves that Xie Yiren placed at the edge of the equipment table. He removed the wrapping paper and wore the gloves before he went to the operating table.
Although this appearance was not formal, emergency surgery could only make do with what they had. Every second of time was worth a sliver of gold. They had to make each moment count.
Wang Liren felt that he was already very fast. However, the moment he stood in the first assistant’s position, Zheng Ren held the broken spleen in his hand and placed it in the curved basin.
Speechless, Wang Liren looked as if he was watching a thriller. Just a moment ago, he was full of confidence and said that he did not need to call anyone. Now that he thought about it, he was unsure if that was still the case.
If he were to stand on the stage and be scolded by someone, he would not be able to say anything. He would be as sullen as he could be.
No wonder the people back home were so attentive to Chief Zheng that they had sent four people over in one go.
Wang Liren was in a daze when he suddenly heard a few crisp sounds.
“Retractor, don’t be distracted.” Zheng Ren looked at the operating area and tapped on the big retractor with the hemostatic forceps in his hand.
“Oh.” Wang Liren immediately collected his thoughts. He could not make a mistake.
As soon as he looked at the operating area, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The patient’s liver…was almost completely shattered.
There were hematoma, ruptures, and fresh blood everywhere. How… How was he going to suture this?!
Cut? He could not cut off the entire liver, right?
If that was really the case, could he perform a liver transplant in the emergency department?
Even if there was no problem with the doctor, there was no liver source.
Wang Liren was stunned again.
“You, prepare to suture,” Zheng Ren said coldly beside the operating table. He did not bother with pretenses at all. After that, he turned around and stood around the patient’s right leg.
“Yiren, Yanran, the two of you go out first,” Zheng Ren said.
Su Yun poked his head over and took a look at the liver. “Boss, why don’t I do the liver first? Chief Wang…”
It was rare that he did not rebuke Chief Wang. It was an emergency treatment. Everything revolved around the patient who was lying on the stage.
However, his words were filled with distrust. It could not be any clearer.
Wang Liren’s face was flushed red. He said in a deep voice, “I can do it.”
Su Yun did not say anything and glanced at Zheng Ren. Seeing that he did not have any objections, he went to sterilize the right chest wall.
“Tell Chief Cao of the thoracic department to send someone over if there’s nothing else,” Su Yun shouted.
The circulating nurses were busy with countless things, but calling someone over was always their highest priority.
