Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1182 He Actually Understands
The development of contemporary medicine is so rapid that the classification of medicine has naturally become more and more refined. Even if everyone belongs to the same category of Western medicine, for dentists, ophthalmology can be said to be "a world apart". If someone has a minor problem with his eyes, it might be better to ask a vegetable seller for advice than to ask a dentist. The vegetable seller is often rich in experience in daily life and may be able to tell you something about an old and effective folk remedy!

As a result, whether it is a Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor, everyone knows very little about ophthalmology. There is almost no difference between them and practitioners in other industries on the street. Specific ophthalmic surgery is even more unfamiliar to them.

Not only that, when people watch surgeries in other departments, they generally don't feel uncomfortable, but ophthalmic surgery seems a bit "scary" in this regard.

Bian Mu had heard a little about this, but he had never had the opportunity to observe it in person. He had always been puzzled as to why his colleagues in the industry used the word "horrible" to describe eye surgery.

After Director Wang's "kind" "interference" a few times, Bian Mu finally realized what "terror" meant.

Idioms with the word "视" (see) are often derogatory. For example, commendatory words such as "视死如归" (see death as a return home) do not look very auspicious because it contains the word "死" (death), and are definitely not good words.

In an instant, Bian Mu suddenly realized the deeper meaning of the idiom "can't bear to look directly at it", especially the rich meaning of the word "忍", which made Bian Mu have endless aftertaste.

Not everyone can become a doctor if they want to.

No matter how capable a person is, what their social status is, or what their character is, there are always things they are unwilling to face directly. Throughout history, this has varied from person to person and from situation to situation. For most people, "looking into each other's eyes" would make them feel awkward and uncomfortable, and they would actively avoid it if they could.

In the operating room environment, except for ophthalmologists, facing an eyeball entity that was suddenly magnified by surgical instruments, looking at it eye to eye, it really feels a bit "terrifying", that feeling is like a person who suddenly walks to the edge of a cliff and stares down at the abyss below the cliff without any mental preparation...

Most people will feel uncomfortable, and that feeling is quite similar to the symptoms of "thalassophobia", emptiness, loss of control, and panic...

Director Wang was kind-hearted and deliberately diverted Bian Mu's attention by whispering to him in order to give him a short period of time to gradually adapt and prevent him from "looking directly" at the abnormal scene and feeling uncomfortable.

Glancing at Director Wang with gratitude, Bian Mu watched intently how Professor Qian manipulated the endoscope's mechanical gripper...

At this moment, Professor Qian was already "fully armed" tightly, so it was difficult to tell what she looked like. One could only see her general outline. She was not tall, only about 1.6 meters when she stood up. She was thin, and the surgical protective clothing made her look a little bloated. She had half-gray and half-black hair, and it was obvious that she was old.

Bian Mu was good at "observing the spirit". He stood nearby for a while and roughly guessed that the person undergoing surgery should be an elderly man, estimated to be between 65 and 70 years old, with mild glaucoma. His left eye was injured first, and the injury was not serious, but... the old man's intraocular pressure was alarmingly high at the moment.

"Look at what this means... Professor Qian is performing delicate repairs on the wound, trying his best to preserve the old man's existing vision while lowering the intraocular pressure of both eyes to normal values. If nothing goes wrong, it should be around 18, right? Eh?! The difference in intraocular pressure between the old man's two eyes is quite big. It seems that his left eye is seriously injured!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu unconsciously took a few steps back.

Director Wang thought he was scared, so he turned his head and looked at him with concern. Doctor Mu also looked at him kindly. Their intentions were similar, and the gist of it was: Are you okay? If you really feel uncomfortable, we can leave now.

Bian Mu smiled at the two of them and signaled with his eyes that nothing was wrong with him.

……

Professor Qian sat there like a stone sculpture, his fingertips, wrists, elbows... the micro-movements he showed were very slight. Bian Mu had never done similar surgery, so he didn't know the ins and outs of this, but... compared to the last time he did surgery on Li Yunhu's injured finger, he thought that Professor Qian's overall thinking should be similar to his own. Laymen watch the excitement, experts see the doorway.

After concentrating on watching for a long time, Bian Mu basically understood about 60% of it. Needless to say, Professor Qian was definitely a good doctor with a heart of compassion. At this moment, the old lady was doing her best to straighten out, clean up, and reconstruct all the injuries that could be delicately repaired on the patient...

"Even if Doctor Mu were to perform this operation, she would probably be exhausted. The old lady has such strong energy and willpower. No wonder she usually has a bad temper. Alas... It's very understandable!" Gradually, Bian Mu felt some respect for the female professor in front of him.

……

The first three stages of the repair surgery were finally completed. Judging from the situation, the subsequent finishing surgery was taken over by another middle-aged male doctor. Professor Qian turned 180 degrees on the spot and left the operating station using the strength of his legs like rowing a boat.

There was hardly any pause. The male doctor who replaced her had already started to clean the blood clots in her eyes with skillful techniques...

Bian Mu quietly took a few steps back and left the operating room almost silently.

I already knew that the old lady had a bad temper, and only a fool would be there waiting to be scolded. The reactions of the others were similar to his. They retreated quietly and in an orderly manner, and their colleagues filed out one after another.

"Hmph!" Professor Qian glanced at the backs of everyone with a hint of dissatisfaction, but said nothing.

……

Office of the Director of Ophthalmology.

"Doctor Bian! Are you feeling well?" Director Wang asked with concern.

"It's nothing! I also see ophthalmological patients normally, but... right now the conditions where we are aren't able to handle such complicated injuries. Professor Qian is amazing! The repair rate should be at least 95%, right?" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang and Doctor Mu looked at each other in surprise, feeling that Bian Mu was indeed unusual.

"Oh! Have you figured out the old lady's intention for the surgery?" Doctor Mu asked in surprise.

"I'm just guessing. The left eye was injured in an accident, which caused abnormal intraocular pressure in both eyes. At the same time, the left eye's field of vision has been reduced a lot. Although it is a temporary stress reaction, if it is not handled properly, the left eye's field of vision will be greatly limited in the future, and the vision will also decline to varying degrees, and may even be further limited. Professor Qian is repairing the intraocular trauma while rebuilding a new dynamic environment in the inner eye, thereby reducing the patient's intraocular pressure to around 18 to the maximum extent. The conditions there are incomparable to yours, so I can only guess this far." Bian Mu has never been afraid of being laughed at by his colleagues when studying medicine, and he speaks frankly about what he thinks.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang and Doctor Mu were dumbfounded.
