A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 124: Ectopic Pregnancy Urgently Needs Surgery
The next morning, Lin Sanqi arrived at Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital early.

The hospital is not large. In later times, it would be at most a Class II small hospital, but in the Northwest, it is considered a large and high-end hospital.

There were not many patients in the hospital. When Lin Sanqi walked in, he found that many employees were whispering to each other and seemed absent-minded.

Lin Sanqi thought: Is it so easy to work in Qinghai Hospital? If any medical staff dared to do this in the future, they would be chopped to death by the dean.

However, the hospital's atmosphere did not matter to Lin Sanqi. He just wanted to complete his purchasing task as soon as possible.

"Comrade, how do I get to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"It's the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Go to the right corridor and look at the department name sign above."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Sanqi was just about to follow the water sign to look for someone, but as soon as he turned a corner, he saw Qi Jiping running out in a hurry.

"Hello, Doctor Qi, I..."

Before Lin Sanqi could finish his words, Qi Jiping grabbed him:

"Xiao Lin, you are a doctor from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Can you perform surgery?"

Lin Sanqi blinked, thinking, should I answer, "I can do surgery or I can't do surgery?" To be honest, as a five-year undergraduate intern, he can definitely perform minor surgeries, but he may not be very good at it.

"This, this, a simple operation is fine."

Qi Jiping seemed very anxious: "It's okay if you can do a simple operation. Come with me quickly to save people."

Lin Sanqi was pulled away and was so scared that he begged for mercy. With his level of skill with three knives, should he save people or kill them?

"No, Doctor Qi, what happened? I can't do it if it's a complicated surgery."

"It's you who's going to do it. Let me tell you, our director's daughter-in-law has an ectopic pregnancy and needs emergency surgery. Unfortunately, Dr. Wang, who can perform surgery in our hospital, has asked for family leave and has gone back to his hometown. Dr. Jia, who is left alone, can't perform the surgery at all."

Ectopic pregnancy is an emergency surgery with a very high mortality rate. Without surgery, the patient often dies from massive bleeding.

The operation is quite difficult. If it is a small hospital, the entire hospital will be mobilized when an ectopic pregnancy occurs. It was not until the hysteroscopy era that the difficulty of the operation was reduced.

Lin Sanqi almost cried when he heard that he was asked to perform an ectopic pregnancy surgery. He knew the steps of the operation, he had learned it in textbooks, and he had also encountered several cases during his one-year internship.

But he had always been an assistant to an intern doctor before, so when had he ever been the lead surgeon? It was not his turn.

If I were to perform the operation now and the patient died in my hands, not only would my conscience be condemned, but I would also be beaten to death by the patient's parents on this Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, right?

"Doctor Qi, I, I can't do this. I studied Chinese medicine, I..."

Qi Jiping didn't listen at all and pulled Lin Sanqi to the door of the operating room. There were already crowds of people at this time, and everyone had an anxious look on their faces.

"President Fang, Doctor Lin from the capital has arrived. Everyone, please make way~~~"

Lin Sanqi thought, Qi Jiping, you sold me out long ago? I treated you as a brother, and you stabbed me in the back?

Dean Fang saw Lin Sanqi and wondered why she was so young. Would this operation work?
Later, I felt relieved and consoled myself: How could an older person have the opportunity to go to medical school? This opportunity should be for young people.

So he came up and held Lin Sanqi's hand tightly:
"Hello, Comrade Lin. I am Fang Wenbin, the director of Qinghai People's Hospital. This is an urgent matter, so I won't be polite. The patient is my daughter-in-law. She had sudden abdominal pain and bleeding this morning. The initial diagnosis is ectopic pregnancy, but our chief surgeon has returned to his hometown, so I have to ask you to do it."

Lin Sanqi was about to cry: "No, Dean Fang, how come you only have two surgeons in such a large provincial hospital?"

Although Qinghai Hospital is a provincial hospital, in fact, its equipment and medical staff are quite backward and even primitive.

In 59, the city of Xining had a population of more than 70, but Xining consisted of seven counties and the urban population was only about 7, which was exactly the standard of a county hospital.

For example, there are only two surgeons, both of whom are doctors from other places.

In fact, even if we look across the country, how many surgeons can perform surgery?

You should know that before liberation, the domestic medical market was dominated by traditional Chinese medicine, and surgical operations were concentrated in some church hospitals or foreign private hospitals.

After liberation, there was a severe shortage of surgeons, surgical equipment, medical devices, drugs, etc., which further restricted the development of surgery.

Qi Jiping beside him also spoke up:

"Xiao Lin, we are at our wit's end now. No one else knows surgery, and you are the only two doctors in Qinghai who know how to perform surgery, so you must help me today." Dean Fang also put his hands together and pleaded:
"Yes, Dr. Lin, I'm begging you not as the dean, but as a parent. If you don't do this operation, my daughter-in-law will definitely die. Sigh."

The Fang family relatives around him also started chattering and saying nice things, begging for mercy.

Now that things have come to this, what else can Lin Sanqi do?
As I said, curing diseases and saving lives is the mission of medical students, especially since the other party's family members are so sincere.

"Okay, I'll try it, but I have to say this first. An ectopic pregnancy operation is quite dangerous. Now hurry up and prepare a large amount of blood of the same type. The success of the operation depends a lot on whether the blood supply can keep up."

Dean Fang nodded quickly: "I will immediately organize all the staff in the hospital to help donate blood."

Lin Sanqi shook his head: "Your hospital alone is not enough, it's better to find more people. Generally speaking, the minimum amount of bleeding is 1000CC, and the maximum is or , or even tens of thousands."

Several family members nearby were so frightened that their legs went limp after hearing this. How much blood is in the human body? This would almost mean replacing all the blood in the patient's body.

"Also, I will do my best in the surgery, but I cannot guarantee whether it will be successful. I hope Dean Fang can understand."

Dean Fang nodded heavily and said, "Doctor Lin, please be brave enough to perform the operation. If it succeeds, you will be our family's benefactor. If it fails, you will also be our Fang family's benefactor."

Now that things have come to this, Lin Sanqi has also understood the situation. Otherwise, he would be refusing to accept the toast and then being punished. Does he still want to complete the task of purchasing the medicines?
So Lin Sanqi recited the anatomical knowledge in his mind, recalled the key points of surgery taught by his instructor, and walked towards the operating room.

If Dean Fang knew that this guy was just an intern, I wonder if he would dare to let him perform the operation.

After disinfecting and changing clothes, Lin Sanqi was still lamenting the simplicity of surgical equipment in this era when another emergency occurred.

Originally, Lin Sanqi thought that since he had to take the stage himself, and they just needed a surgeon, he could just be the first assistant.

The first assistant has less pressure. He just needs to listen to the surgeon-in-chief. He will stop the bleeding when asked to do so and pass the knife when asked to do so. As an intern, he is an expert.

But when he walked into the operating room, he found that there was a doctor standing on the assistant position on the operating table, while the surgeon's position was empty.

Everyone in the operating room looked at the doctor from the capital with curiosity, admiration, and even a bit of flattery.

An older head nurse smiled and said, "You must be Dr. Lin from the capital. Everyone is waiting for you."

Lin Sanqi pointed at the surgical site and said in horror: "This, this, let me be the surgeon?"

The male doctor standing at the assistant's position said politely:
"Hello, Dr. Lin. My name is Jia Renqing, and I'm a surgeon at the People's Hospital. You're a great doctor from the capital, and it's my honor to be your assistant this time."

Lin Sanqi really wanted to turn around and leave.

He could see that the only surgeon in Qinghai Hospital was a cunning one. He probably had no confidence in his medical skills, so he would rather be an assistant than the chief surgeon. He must be afraid of losing the patient and having to bear the wrath of the dean.

So he has lost all his dignity and is a middle-aged doctor who wants to be an assistant to a young doctor.

Just as Lin Sanqi was hesitating, the pregnant woman on the bed suddenly cried out:
"Doctor from the capital, please save me, save me~~~"

Lin Sanqi was also shocked. Wasn't the patient anesthetized? How could he still speak?

(Ching Hai Hospital was unable to perform general anesthesia at that time, so only partial anesthesia was used. The patient was awake.)
The head nurse was a shrewd person. She had already seen the clues, but now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so she gently comforted:
"Doctor Lin, you can see that our hospital is limited in its capabilities, and the patient is in critical condition. If we don't do this surgery today, you, as a doctor, know the consequences. For the safety of the people, let's fight together."

Lin Sanqi wailed in his heart.

He understood that what the head nurse said made sense. If the patient did not undergo surgery, he would definitely die. But if he took a risk, there might be a chance of survival. This multiple-choice question was not difficult to answer.

But Lin Sanqi's family knew their own business and they really lacked confidence.

Asking an intern to treat an ectopic pregnancy right away is not something that every Dr. Ling Ran can do.

Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone in the operating room, the trust of the family members outside the door, and the patient's desire to live on the operating bed, Lin Sanqi knew that he had no way out.

Let's give it a try. Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi's eyes became firm:
"Okay, let's try together. Head nurse, please arrange blood for the operation right away. Once the abdominal cavity is opened, the amount of bleeding will be huge, so at least three intravenous channels must be opened and rapidly dripped at the same time, while focusing on monitoring vital signs.

Doctor Jia, right? As an assistant, your job is to quickly suck out the blood in the abdominal cavity. Only by cleaning the abdominal cavity can I find the bleeding point immediately. This is the key to the operation, so you must act quickly. "

Jia Renqing reminded him a little embarrassedly: "Doctor Lin, we don't have an electric suction device, we can only use a syringe to draw blood."

Lin Sanqi almost fainted after hearing this...
