Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 336 - 227: The Surgery Begins, Doubts Arise
Main Surgeon: Qin Feng
Anesthesiologist: Chen Lingling
First Assistant, Second Assistant: Yan Yu, Qin Siyu
All scrub nurses and circulating nurses are in position.
"Dr. Qin, I heard that several department directors from our hospital are here, and even Vice Director Yuan is in the observation room."
While cleaning and disinfecting, Yan Yu couldn’t help but say,
"This surgery is considered very difficult even by Deputy Director Xiao from Neurosurgery. Can we handle it, Director Qin?"
"Ha ha ha~ What do you think?"
At this, Qin Feng raised his head and looked at him, a faint smile appearing on his face,
"If you go into surgery with this mindset, it’s the greatest disservice to the patient."
Hearing this, Yan Yu was taken aback and immediately showed a somewhat awkward expression.
"Dr. Qin is right~"
If even doctors cannot have steadfast confidence, who are the patients, waiting to be saved, supposed to trust?
Although we cannot guarantee the family a hundred percent success, we must maintain 200% confidence and resilience internally.
Of course, this must be based on solid skills.
"Dr. Qin, I heard the director gave you full-spectrum surgical privileges. Is that true?"
Qin Siyu tilted her head, staring at him intently, curiously asking.
"Yes, that’s the only reason I came to our ICU."
Qin Feng nodded.
"So, you really have never failed a surgery before!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyu showed a shocked expression, couldn’t help but exclaim softly.
"And I never will."
He straightened up, paused for two seconds, and solemnly said a few words, 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Let’s get started."
...
Meanwhile,
The observation room was also filled with discussions.
"Dr. Qin has only been here a month and is taking on such a major surgery. Can he handle it?"
"Yes, isn’t this too risky? This is an ultra-level 4 high-difficulty surgery!"
"I also think it’s too risky, at least it should be a joint surgery with Neurosurgery."
"Your ICU seems to be overstepping a bit. A chief physician taking on such a high-level surgery."
For a moment, the voices of doubt from other departments overshadowed the supportive ones.
Especially several from Neurosurgery, their brows were furrowed, seemingly displeased with the arrangement of this surgery.
After all, such a significant matter, a neurosurgery no less, was only informed to them after it was decided.
"Old Meng, I think you’re being too reckless."
The deputy director from Neurosurgery couldn’t help but speak out,
"You’re undertaking such a surgery on your own without consulting us?
If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"
"Director Xia, since this surgery was decided by our ICU, we have confidence in it, rest assured."
With a slight smile and a calm tone, Meng Dawei said.
"This is an ultra-level 4 surgery, and you’re letting a chief physician handle it, isn’t this....."
Director Xia was still a bit uneasy, knowing full well the risks involved,
"Who exactly is Qin Feng that you trust him so much? Did you sign the authorization for him?"
"No."
Meng Dawei shook his head.
"No?"
Upon hearing this, Director Xia was momentarily stunned, and then a hint of anger appeared in his eyes,
"This is ridiculous! Without a director’s authorization, how can he proceed with the surgery?!"
"I signed it."
Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Vice Director Yuan Bin, who was sitting in the center, calmly spoke three words.
Uh~~~~
(⊙o⊙)...
At that moment,
The entire observation room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Vice Director Yuan, you..."
Director Xia opened his mouth, looking at him with a somewhat strange expression.
"Director Xia, when we hired Qin Feng in the ICU, we determined he would have full-spectrum surgical privileges in the ICU."
Yuan Bin stood up, patted his shoulder, and said,
"That’s why Qin Feng can proceed directly with his signature.
You should know that our ICU, despite being the top-ranked secondary department in the country, faces the risk of a talent gap.
If there are any doubts or dissatisfaction regarding Qin Feng’s qualifications and resume, you can apply to the hospital administration to review them. This decision was also unanimously passed by the hospital committee."
With those words, everyone was left speechless.
They were simply astounded!
The hospital committee actually agreed to allow a newcomer such immense privileges!
These privileges are unique to the ICU; no other department possesses them.
Yet even so, within the ICU, aside from Director Meng Dawei, not even Deputy Director Gao was given such authorization by the committee.
Now it’s granted to Qin Feng!
Who exactly is he?
As everyone was absorbed in their shock, Qin Feng’s image appeared on the front screen.
"Rest assured, Director Xia, if there are any issues, the hospital and I will take responsibility."
Yuan Bin smiled and said to him,
"Moreover, let me tell you something, Qin Feng is a disciple of Professor Yuan Rushan, and one of only two selected postgraduate students at Peking Union this time.
Relax and have a seat.
If there’s any problem, you can come up anytime."
After speaking, Yuan Bin waved to everyone, signaling them to sit down.
Yuan Rushan!
Upon hearing this name, everyone drew a sharp breath of air.
That name resonates in medical circles, both in Beijing and throughout the country’s medical academia!
A titan in Jiuzhou Country’s neurology and gastroenterology fields, a top authority.
His students, once graduated, are inevitably among the medical elite.
As of now, both the chief and deputy directors of neurology at Peking Union are his students, and so is the head of the gastroenterology department.
How formidable!
Director Xia from Neurosurgery, after hearing all this, said no more and quietly took a seat.
Yet looking at the young man on the screen dressing in sterile clothing, his eyes were filled with complexity and astonishment.
This young man, who seemed to only be a few years older than his son, is he really that extraordinary?
...
The surgery preparations were beginning.
Qin Feng walked to the operating table, his expression both stern and relaxed.
Regarding this [hemispherectomy] procedure in front of him, he had accumulated a wealth of signed-in experiences, having conducted over a thousand worldwide.
Some were successful, others failed, with the success rates decreasing the further back in time one goes.
But currently, in his mind, areas prone to intraoperative risks have been optimized and circumvented.
Thus, the surgical plan he proposed could not be faulted by even the world’s top neurosurgeons.
The success rate is no less than 90%!
"Commence anesthesia."
Qin Feng nodded at the anesthesiologist.
Subsequently, the patient underwent aerosol anesthesia, entering a completely unconscious state within three to five minutes.
The anesthesiologist checked the monitor indicators, adjusted the anesthesia intake, and signaled ’OK’ to Qin Feng.
At this moment,
The little boy’s head had already been prepped. According to standard procedures, it was disinfected, with lines drawn based on imaging and the surgical plan.
Assistant Yan Yu draped the towels....
"Scalpel."
As Qin Feng spoke, the scalpel was firmly placed into his hand.
He picked up the knife, skillfully and gracefully making an arched incision along the patient’s lateral brain.
Speed and precision!
There was not the slightest hesitation or pause; even Yan Yu and Qin Siyu beside him barely caught the technique before the incision was completed.
"Retractor."
Soon, the scalp was retracted, exposing the skull without any deviation.
The scalp was then secured, and the craniotomy was to follow.
"Craniotome."
Qin Feng accepted the craniotome, glanced at the images on the lightbox not far away, and then started the craniotomy following the circle marked in his mind.
Grind, grind, grind~ grind, grind, grind~
The drill bored into the skull, stopping precisely in place before moving to the next spot.
This fluid action had those in the observation room exchanging glances of amazement.
This technique!
It was simply superb!
Moreover, the level of control was genuinely astonishing.
This operation would be challenging even for some director-level physicians, never mind a chief physician.
If one were to use an inappropriate term to describe it,
It’s like the skill of dissecting an ox!
The surgery was ongoing,
and soon, seven circular holes were opened on the patient’s skull.
Qin Feng reached out and said in a deep voice,
"Bone saw."
