Chapter 585: [585] Strength Revealed Chapter 585: [585] Strength Revealed Last week, he had just led a team in performing an autopsy on a child’s body, dissecting the child’s brain.
Watching the counselor’s hands at work, Xie Wanying’s mind was brought back to the dissection class last year: back then, a group of students gathered around Teacher Ren during the operation, feeling as if Teacher Ren cut human tissue as easily as slicing a cake, firm yet gentle, incredibly clean and precise with every incision. Everyone knew that slicing a cake with a single pass, separating it cleanly, was much harder than cutting meat or fruit.
Teacher Ren certainly wasn’t lacking in skills; there was no way his hand holding the knife could tremble.
An exclamation of awe escaped from the old nurse when she saw the man’s movements with the surgical scalpel–he clearly was extraordinary–and she asked them, “Which hospital’s surgeons are you?”
No matter where the doctors were from, as long as they could save lives, they were good doctors. That’s what all the skilled bosses thought. They only recognized skills, not titles.
They made a cruciform incision in the scalp, retracted the scalp, revealing the skull, and began drilling.
The electric drill buzzed, set to the slowest speed, drilling slowly; one must not rush, and as soon as it pierced through the skull, they had to stop, lest it damage the brain tissue. Onlookers watched as the drill bit whirred over the child’s head. The old nurse’s heart pounded.
Xie Wanying held a gauze swab ready, prepared to assist at any moment.
She was very aware of how capable her counselor was.
Indeed, it was done quickly, then with a light and deft touch, the skull was penetrated.
The gauze swab was hurriedly applied to press and wipe away the blood.
“Scalpel!” Ren Chongda called out, invigorated, the blood in his veins boiling.
The old nurse was a bit flustered and a beat slow as she handed the scalpel back. Who would have thought that the surgery would turn so smooth all of a sudden.
Ren Chongda efficiently cut open the dura mater beneath the skull, and blood gushed out, evidencing the huge pressure inside the patient’s skull.
An aspirator needle was inserted into the center of the hemorrhage to suck out the blood.
Without even setting down the scalpel, Ren Chongda looked up and saw his own student calmly operating the aspirator, and his heart was filled with comfort.
It was clear that the high praise his student received from so many teachers in the clinical field was not an exaggeration.
They withdrew blood, cautiously flushed it with saline to avoid damaging brain tissue, and then placed a drain connected to a glass bottle to secure it in place.
Having completed the drainage, Ren Chongda used a flashlight to check the young patient’s pupils, which were now equal in size and hadn’t dilated, allowing him to fully relax. Before long, Dongzi’s eyelids fluttered, evidently regaining consciousness.
The ambulance finally arrived.
Two ambulances took Mother Dongzi and Dongzi separately. Dongzi was definitely being sent to Guoxie. Ren Chongda got into the ambulance that was taking Dongzi to Guoxie.
Dongzi’s ambulance left first; before departing, Ren Chongda called out to his student, “Call me if you need anything!”
“Yes, Teacher,” Xie Wanying responded loudly.
Mother Dongzi was settled in the ambulance. Xie Wanying sat next to Mother Dongzi, together with other hospital medical staff, and learned upon inquiring that this ambulance had been dispatched from the district hospital.
“With her condition, she definitely can’t be treated at our hospital. She needs to go to a larger hospital,” Dr. Deng from the district hospital said frankly. “Which hospital would you like to send her to?”
“Guoxie,” Xie Wanying thought, Mother Dongzi would surely want to be with her son.
“Guoxie is far. Can she endure the journey?” Dr. Deng raised a reasonable concern.
The ambulance started moving, leaving the outpatient building toward the hospital, passing by the accident scene again. Two more ambulances had arrived at the scene, standing by. It turned out that, after so much time, the firefighters had yet to rescue the two drivers trapped between the two vehicles.
