Healing Doctor

Chapter 59 template, it's from when I was young.

Ji Xiang almost crawled into the ultrasound machine.

The anesthesiologist's floral cap was soaked, with sweat visibly dripping down it.

He kept his head down, not daring to say even a single word for the circulating nurse, and desperately tried to write down what Ji Xiang had just said.

The circulating nurse immediately turned around, but forgot to open the operating room door and bumped her head into it.

A loud "thud" was heard.

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"

"Damn it, my muscle memory is acting up again," Ji Xiang said with a faint sarcasm.

"..."

Ji Xiang was dumbfounded. This was such a stupid skill!

Despite feeling dizzy, the circulating nurse ran out quickly.

Soon, she brought the equipment that Ji Xiang needed.

"Examination of the inferior vena cava via the xiphoid process revealed a large amount of hyperechoic material floating through the inferior vena cava on ultrasound."

The inferior vena cava diameter was measured at approximately 1.8 cm, with an variability of <50%. Transxiphoid echocardiography revealed a large amount of hyperechoic material entering the right atrium and then the right ventricle from the inferior vena cava. At this point, air embolism was suspected.

Ji Xiang said casually as he performed the examination using a low-frequency cardiac probe.

He felt fortunate.

Fortunately, the circulating nurse brought the right equipment she needed; otherwise, who knows what outrageous things her "self" might have said under muscle memory.

They might even berate the circulating nurse so much that she commits suicide out of shame.

However, that "damn" skill didn't make things particularly difficult for Ji Xiang. Its goal was simply to carry out the rescue more smoothly, so it stopped after cursing once.

The ultrasound probe moved back and forth near the patient's heart and superior vena cava, and the operating room finally quieted down.

No one dared to question it.

Especially after the patient's blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation gradually recovered over time, Mr. Wu, the anesthesiologist, the circulating nurse, and the two resident trainees all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I couldn't understand Ji Xiang's actions, they proved to be effective.

As time continued to pass, ultrasound revealed a significant decrease in gas in the inferior vena cava.

吉翔下了两条医嘱，经处理后患者血氧饱和度升至94%～100%，血压上升至100/80mmHg，心率在90～100次/min。

"Wake him up." Ji Xiang hung up the ultrasound probe and casually picked up a handful of toilet paper and threw it at the patient.

Then, Ji Xiang turned and left.

"The patient has been sent to the ICU?" Mr. Wu asked.

"If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, be careful when you do patient referrals, instead of needlessly increasing the financial burden on patients."

Ji Xiang really wanted to smash his head against the operating room door and die.

Damn it!

Unlike performing a circumcision, the muscle memory gained from the skill made him noticeably sharp-tongued and quick-witted during emergency care, spouting all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

Ji Xiang sighed and walked out of the operating room.

The frozen air in the operating room only began to thaw slowly after he left.

"Awesome!" Liu Yunqing exclaimed softly, her eyes sparkling.

……

……

Ji Xiang changed his clothes and went downstairs to the bicycle.

He greeted the figure in the darkness, but instead of riding home immediately, he sat beside the bicycle, looking somewhat melancholy.

The senior doctor's gaze—this skill is indeed useful, but it's just too damn silly!

Is it really okay for someone to stand in the operating room and yell at anyone they happen to see?

This is suicide!

Ji Xiang shouted in his heart.

He didn't even notice the system's notification sound when the task was completed; the embarrassment from just now lingered throughout his body, making Ji Xiang want to disappear into the ground.

Holding his breath, he entered the system's operating room.

Entering the operating room is becoming faster and more convenient. Unlike before when you had to lie on a bed to get in, now Ji Xiang only needs a few seconds of concentration to get in.

"Teacher," Ji Xiang said with a mournful face.

"What?" The system NPC looked at Ji Xiang in surprise. "The rescue didn't go well? That shouldn't be the case. The symptoms weren't severe, and the rescue... should have been very simple."

As he spoke, the system NPC turned around and headed to enter the operating room.

His movements were swift, and his back straightened slightly.

"No, the rescue was successful. The patient is out of danger and can return to a regular ward." Ji Xiang quickly grabbed him and said, "But teacher, it was so embarrassing when I used the senior doctor's gaze skill."

"Oh, I see." The system NPC smiled faintly.

"I'm still a resident trainee. If I keep acting like this, I won't be able to finish my residency smoothly at all." Ji Xiang squatted down on the floor of the system's operating room, holding his head in his hands, and said almost in agony.

"Then use it less." The system NPC didn't care.

"But Mr. Wu's resuscitation was wrong, and the medicine he gave him was incorrect. It's obvious he doesn't know where he went wrong," Ji Xiang said awkwardly. "Teacher, who is the template for this skill? Can we change it?"

The system NPC stared intently at Ji Xiang.

After a full five seconds, the system NPC finally spoke, "It's me."

"..."

In Ji Xiang's body, the high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP broke rapidly, providing a large amount of energy. A series of biological reactions proceeded quickly, and his mind became infinitely clearer.

What you just said is your own death wish!

"Back then, I was young and impetuous, and the emergency was urgent, that's just how I was." The system NPC helplessly shrugged. "It's an emergency, so swearing is normal. If you don't swear, some doctors and nurses will be completely clueless about the situation and won't know what their lazy actions are delaying."

"..."

Ji Xiang remained silent.

"However, my situation back then... was different from yours now. Given your circumstances, using this skill frequently would indeed be problematic." The system NPC smiled understandingly. "But it doesn't matter, since the rescue was successful. Any reputable doctor wouldn't care about your attitude back then."

"Not all doctors are legitimate doctors." Ji Xiang still held his head in his hands, not daring to look at the system NPC.

"Aren't you afraid?" the system NPC said. "According to the system data, if there are any problems, you can solve them at home. These are all details."

"!!!"

Ji Xiang squatted for a full ten minutes, as if he were passing gallstones.

Unexpectedly, the system even took my family background into account.

"Get up, I'll teach you how to break and remove stones using a flexible endoscope," said the system NPC.

Ji Xiang scratched his head and then his toes, the embarrassment still lingering around him like a tide.

The system NPC didn't urge him, but just smiled and looked gently at Ji Xiang, who was squatting on the ground.

"Teacher, there are still some details you haven't mentioned." Ji Xiang stood up after a long time, trying to smooth over his embarrassment.

"We'll explain as we go," the system NPC said. "Although it's rare, you still need to master it."

"If unexplained circulatory failure occurs during surgery, the SESAME protocol for cardiac arrest can be activated immediately to find the cause and quickly complete the examination of the patient's lungs, veins, abdomen, and heart."

Ultrasound signs of pulmonary embolism include: significant right ventricular enlargement, decreased right ventricular wall motion, pulmonary artery widening, inferior vena cava widening with decreased inspiratory collapse rate, increased tricuspid regurgitation velocity, abnormal interventricular septal movement, and minimal changes in pulmonary artery blood flow spectrum.

"I will explain the specific details of the ultrasound to you when you rotate to the auxiliary department. What I will teach you now is endoscopic lithotripsy and stone removal."

"This type of surgery has both advantages and disadvantages. In fact, all surgeries are the same, so doctors need to adopt a dialectical approach."

Ji Xiang never expected it to turn out this way.

I came in just to find out who that stupid skill was copied from, but I didn't expect to be stopped by a system NPC who wanted me to learn it.

Fine, I'll study then. Even though I haven't gone home yet, at least I'll have some basic stamina left.

But the stupid skill I was just thinking about turned out to be the younger version of a system NPC...

The teacher is awesome!

The teacher is so cool!!

Ji Xiang's opinion changed instantly.

But he refused to use it again.

I just berated Mr. Wu, the circulating nurse, and the anesthesiologist like they were dogs. I don't know if I'll get into trouble if I come to the operating room again.

"Pay attention," the system NPC reminded Ji Xiang, noticing that he seemed distracted.

"Okay, teacher." Ji Xiang focused his attention.

Although experience points can be used to upgrade the microscopic laser lithotripsy to level 7, it is still not comparable to the system NPC.

Ji Xiang also lacks a lot of practical experience and methods for handling unexpected situations.

These were all completed by the system NPCs to help Ji Xiang.

Time flew by, and when his base stamina was down to 1, Ji Xiang explained the situation to the system NPC and prepared to leave the system space.
