Chapter 748: She will be a great doctor Chapter 748: She will be a great doctor Allowing only two new recruits to step up to the operating table, even if it’s just to examine the patient, could Tao Zhijie, known for his excessive caution, really be at ease?
Laparoscopic examination also requires a high level of skill. Generally, the chief surgeon would handle the laparoscope to explore the area once, to fully understand the situation, before letting the assistant take over the laparoscope during surgery for assistance. Sometimes, when examining the patient’s abdominal cavity with the laparoscope, obstructions are encountered that require the first assistant to help separate the tissues. The first assistant is equally indispensable and important during the examination.
Frowning, Wei Tianlang worried that the two newbies might botch the surgery and then turn to their urology department to take over. He turned to ask Tao Zhijie, “What’s the situation that calls for a consultation from our urology department?”
“Please have a look first, Professor Wei,” Tao Zhijie said gently.
Was he to observe the rookie performance of two newbies? Wei Tianlang was quite reluctant at heart.
At first glance, he was resistant. On the second look, he thought he might as well just watch. At the third, he considered whether he was there to prevent the newbies from causing any trouble. As he continued to watch, Wei Tianlang’s eyes became fixed.
Were these really newbies?
The screen flowed rapidly, exposing the patient’s anatomical structures clearly and methodically. Any doctor who wasn’t blind could tell that the person operating the laparoscope had a terrifying and deep familiarity with human anatomy.
It was estimated that in this person’s mind, a three-dimensional map of the patient’s abdominal cavity had already formed.
Thinking the liver is displaced, do you think examining a few liver ligaments is a simple matter?
Liver ligaments are not joint ligaments, they are part of the peritoneum, with layers of complexity. For example, the falciform ligament is called so near the liver, but further away, it develops into the coronary ligament, continuing to connect with the peritoneum and the diaphragm. The coronary ligament has a labyrinthine route, twisting left and right; perhaps even if you investigate to the end, you wouldn’t know whether you were right or wrong.
Yet the person operating the laparoscope seemed to have none of these troubles, moving along a very definite path without any signs of wasting time moving back and forth.
Wei Tianlang’s gaze settled on Xie Wanying. Suddenly, he remembered the scene when she was coaxing a child. His first impression at that time was that she would be an outstanding doctor.
Why was this guy suddenly staring at their junior sister without moving? Tao Zhijie and Cao Yong were alarmed, wary of Wei Tianlang’s strange expression.
Wei Tianlang’s eyes narrowed behind his glasses, his facial expression serious and earnest.
The image on the monitor suddenly froze at a certain location within the patient’s abdominal cavity.
“Got it!” exclaimed Zhao Huaming as he jumped up.
“Is it where the falciform ligament attaches to the diaphragm? Indented, maybe a tear in the peritoneum, that’s a pretty deep hide for a wound,” another voice came from the entrance of the operating room.
The cardiopulmonary surgeon for the intraoperative consultation had arrived. It was a tall doctor who wasn’t wearing glasses and was around the same age as Wei Tianlang, in his forties.
Cardiothoracic surgery has many renowned doctors. This teacher, surnamed Gu, Gu Songtao, was about a decade older than Teacher Fu, with many years of experience and as distinguished as Professor Wei, also referred to as Professor Gu.
The people in the operating room thought that Student Zhao was definitely being afforded great attention today, with a group of famous doctors consulting. For the likes of Wei Tianlang and Gu Songtao, basically the chance of covering for the third tier was non-existent. One could only say they came because they heard the news themselves. Whether it was because the patient was the grandson of Zhao Huaming was something that one would have to ask them.
Gu Songtao walked up and stood with Wei Tianlang and the others, observing the image on the monitor.
