godfather of surgery

Chapter 382 An hour before surgery
At this time, Yang Ping, Wen Rentao, Zeng Ran, and Mu Jun also stood in the ICU ward, bowing deeply to Professor Feng.

Johannesson, Griffin, and Woodhead, who were caught in the crowd in the visiting corridor, were infected by the solemn atmosphere.

When they learned that Professor Feng volunteered to use himself as a research subject, the three couldn't help being moved.

Huang Zhong, director of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the First Attached to the Southern Metropolis, as a student of Professor Feng, has also rushed to the No. [-] Hospital of Shanghai, standing in the visiting corridor.

Huang Zhong was Han Jiangong's assistant back then. Professor Feng took blood samples to Hangzhou for identification in private. Outside the laboratory, Huang Zhong accidentally saw Professor Feng. This kind of thing is more private. Huang Zhong avoided it immediately and did not go forward to say hello. Professor Feng did not find Huang Zhong either.

It just so happened that Huang Zhong's fiancée was a technician in the laboratory. Huang Zhong naturally learned about Hong Zhigang's relationship with Professor Feng, so he secretly told Han Jiangong about it without telling anyone else.

Han Jiangong couldn't believe it when he knew the truth, but he understood that his mentor must have difficulties, so he told Huang Zhong not to tell anyone.

Huang Zhong is honest and reliable, and he didn't reveal a word to others.

Until the medical incident happened and Han Jiangong ran away in a fit of anger, Huang Zhong knew better than anyone at that time that Han Jiangong was following his plan, pushing the boat along the way, sacrificing himself, and fulfilling Hong Zhigang.

Huang Zhong admired Han Jiangong as a man, so he resolutely resigned and went south with Han Jiangong.

In order to preserve Han Jiangong and not leave the medical profession, Professor Feng later took responsibility himself, apologized to the patient's family and offered compensation.

When Han Jiangong and Huang Zhong went to the south, Professor Su of the Southern Metropolis First School was thirsty for talents and invited them to join the First School.

At that time, Nandu Province was preparing to establish an Overseas Chinese Hospital, and Han Jiangong intended to join the new hospital. Professor Su strongly recommended that Han Jiangong successfully became the first batch of talents introduced by the hospital.

The future of the new hospital is uncertain, Han Jiangong persuaded Huang Zhong to join the First Attached Hospital, and Professor Su was willing to help Huang Zhong's wife transfer work, so Huang Zhong joined the First Attached Hospital to follow Professor Su's development.

Han Jiangong took root in the newly-built Overseas Chinese Hospital—Sanbo Hospital. Step by step, he developed from only 150 beds and empty wards to [-] beds, with long-term extra beds, and divided into four subspecialties: spine, joints, trauma and sports medicine.

Professor Feng's breathing and heartbeat tended to be stable, and he was off the ventilator for 24 to 48 hours, which was the golden opportunity for surgery. Once missed, there would be no such opportunity again.

The operation was scheduled at 07:30 the next day, exactly seven o'clock, and the operating room arranged to pick up the patient, an hour earlier than the normal time.

The largest operating room of the Orthopedics Department of Magic No. [-] was vacated. Yang Ping was the chief surgeon, Han Jiangong was the first assistant, Hong Zhigang was the second assistant, and Wen Rentao and Zeng Ran were the substitutes.

Anesthesiologists, equipment nurses, and itinerant nurses are all elites. These people are usually the specialist support staff of the Magic Six Orthopedics Department.

Mr. Feng lived his life in a low-key and simple manner, with a simple and meager diet, and he never engaged in specialization.

This time, I am afraid it is the most special time in this life, and it is also the only time to enjoy luxurious treatment.

He has trained countless students, including advanced students, masters, and doctors. Some arrived in Shanghai a few days ago, and some arrived not long ago. They all got news from WeChat Moments or WeChat groups.

Everyone knows that the success rate of Mr. Feng's operation is less than [-]%. He volunteered to be the experimental subject, walked on the operating table, and had to conduct anatomical research after the operation.

Most of these students have become the directors of their respective hospitals, the backbone of the local orthopedics department, and dozens of students who have returned from abroad have also made remarkable achievements.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the head nurse of the operating room brought two senior nurses to the ICU to pick up Mr. Feng in person. Hong Zhigang, Han Jiangong, Dean Chen, and several deputy directors carried Mr. Feng over the bed together.

Hong Zhigang and Han Jiangong followed behind the flat cart to help push the cart, the head nurse led the way at the front of the flat cart, and several directors supported the handrails on both sides of the flat cart.

The flat car carried Professor Feng from the ICU to the operating room.

Coming out of the emergency elevator of the ICU, the aisle corridor outside was already full of people. They leaned against the wall consciously and divided into two neat rows, leaving the aisle in the middle.

These people are all students of Professor Feng, and some of them are still wearing white coats, white coats from different hospitals. Obviously, many of them have been prepared in advance.

Everyone silently paid attention to Mr. Feng, did not inquire about each other, did not talk about each other, and silently watched the flat car being sent to the operating room.

Then quietly followed behind, and kept following, Zhi Feng was pushed into the operating room, and the door of the operating room was closed.

Professor Zhang, Director Han, Hong Zhigang, and Yang Ping were already changing in the locker room.

Dean Chen and Dean Peng did not enter the dressing room for the time being, fearing that the crowd would affect the surgeon's changing clothes.

In the past few days, Yang Ping has been studying Professor Feng's condition with everyone, and Wen Rentao has no chance to talk to him.

He didn't see Yang Ping at the consultation meeting, but Zeng Ran told him that Yang Ping was here, following Professor Zhang.

The first time I saw Yang Ping was in the ICU doctor's office. At that time, Yang Ping was discussing the surgical plan and perioperative management with three American professors, Director Fu and Director Wei.

No, that was not a discussion. From Yang Ping's self-confidence when he was surrounded, the pious eyes of several American professors, and the slightly bent waist, it can be seen that it was Yang Ping who was teaching them.

Originally thought that Yang Ping was his formidable opponent. At that time, Wen Rentao understood that Yang Ping's only opponent was disease, and no one would be his opponent.

Wen Rentao and Zeng Ran stayed with Yang Ping all the time, helping him lead the way, taking clothes and slippers, and opening the locker in the dressing room.

"Xiao Yang, don't feel pressured, calm down and relax, just like usual surgery, even if it fails, no one will blame you." Professor Han put his hand on Yang Ping's shoulder and pressed it down slightly.

"Well, teacher, I will do my best, please rest assured." Yang Ping usually called Director Han "Director", but now he felt that calling him "Teacher" in the future would make him appear more respectful.

Director Han let go of his hand and smiled: "Well, come on, you are the best."

Yang Ping changed into his washing clothes, put on a mask and hat, and instead of going to the operating room immediately, he sat on a chair in the dressing room to rest, and Wen Rentao and Zeng Ran also accompanied him.

"Wait, I will personally set the position. The temperature in the operating room is controlled at 25 degrees Celsius. Except for those who are necessary for the operation, no one else is allowed to enter the operating room during the operation. No matter what happens, you must not shout loudly."

"Understood, I have explained to other people involved in the operation." Wen Rentao replied.

"Have you prepared three laser scalpels?" Yang Ping asked again.

"You confirmed it yourself, sapphire head contact laser knife, precision 0.1 mm, three sets." Wen Rentao confirmed.

"Three defibrillators, are you ready?"

"Fully charged and in place."

"Do you want me to be your assistant? I'm worried about Professor Hong and Professor Han's emotions." Wen Rentao recommended himself.

His worry is not unreasonable, Yang Ping is considering this issue.

This operation is a test of the stability and endurance of the operation under the microscope. Director Han and Professor Hong have large emotional fluctuations, which will have a negative impact on the operation.

Wen Rentao is young, and his ability to operate under the microscope will be better than the two directors.

What's more, Wen Rentao's talent for operating under the microscope is also extremely high, and he should be the best supporting platform at present.

The surgical assistant didn't do much. Yang Ping had to operate the whole process by himself, but he still had to make careful preparations.

"Can you?" Wen Rentao asked Yang Ping in a requesting tone.

"Yes!" Yang Ping agreed.

Seeing Yang Ping let go, Wen Rentao took the initiative to ask Hong Zhigang: "Teacher, you and Professor Han are resting off the stage, and Zeng Ran and I are assistants on stage, how about it?"

Hong Zhigang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Jiangong. Han Jiangong pondered for a moment: "Let the young people do it, they are better at operating under the microscope."

"Well, Ren Tao, cooperate well with Dr. Yang." Hong Zhigang agreed.

"Thank you, I'm proud to be your assistant." Wen Rentao held out his hand.

Yang Ping held his hand: "Work together."

"And me!" Zeng Ran also put his hand on it.

"The risk of the operation is extremely high. Theoretically, I have an [-]% success rate. That is, there is no error in every step. If there is a problem in any step, the operation may fail. The result of failure is cardiac arrest. Remember, no matter what happens during the operation. Whatever happens, don't panic, don't yell, keep your posts, don't cross the line."

"Understood!" Wen Rentao and Zeng Ran said in unison.

Yang Ping stood up, looked in the mirror, straightened his mask and hat, stood still for a few seconds and said, "Go to the operating room."

The automatic sensor doors opened one after another, from the semi-restricted area to the restricted area, and then the operating room.

Every step, every detail, there must be no error. In the core operation of the life center, the accuracy of 0.1 mm is maintained throughout the whole process. Any error will lead to the failure of the operation, and cardioversion must be performed within five seconds after cardiac arrest.

Two people have been arranged to guard the door of the operating room to prevent unknowing doctors from visiting and affecting the operation.

"During the operation, no one is allowed to enter. No matter what happens inside, you cannot enter without the order of the chief surgeon." Wen Rentao's two students guarded the door of the operating room like door gods.

"Let's guard the gate." Hong Zhigang's voice.

"Teacher!" Wen Rentao was surprised, and just arranged for them to rest in the locker room.

Where can the two rest, discuss to guard the door of the operating room together.

Professor Feng was already lying on the operating bed, his hair had been shaved in the ward, and the anesthetist was waiting for the surgeon to enter.

The temperature in the operating room is locked at 25 degrees, and three sets of PhotoMedex contact laser scalpel systems are prepared, one in the operating room and two in the equipment room next to it.

The laser cutter head and transmission fiber, Zeiss NC4 surgical microscope, and laser surgical protective glasses are all set up.

A defibrillator is placed in the corner, fully charged, ready for rescue at any time, and two are also spared in the equipment room.

The itinerant nurse has prepared all kinds of posture pads, and the equipment nurse is ready to brush hands.

-

According to Professor Feng's explanation, the operation is a scientific research experiment, and the whole process is disclosed internally.

Doctors who are willing to observe the operation are invited to the teaching conference room of the operating room, and Director Peng of the Medical Department presides over the order.

Griffin made the cross on his chest: "God bless Professor Feng, the operation was successful."

Johannesson told Griffin: "Dr. Yang is a messenger sent by God to help Professor Feng deal with the disease."

Woodhead sat quietly, with his notebook on his lap, and he was concentrating on watching the video of Yang Ping's spinal orthopedic surgery. Before Professor Feng's surgery started, he planned to just watch the video and not do anything else.

As a spine surgeon, this video is like a treasure. Woodhead doesn't watch it a few times now, for fear that the video will suddenly cease to exist.

The work arrangements of American doctors are very planned, and they must go back on time when they go out for meetings, because things have been arranged in the next few months, and appointments for patients have also been arranged.

Now these three American doctors, completely desperate, called the secretary to inform the secretary that they would postpone their return.

They don't want to let go of such a rare opportunity to learn about surgery.
