Chapter 648 - 323: Smile!~

Emergency operating room, Lu Cheng tapped the patient with his right hand: "Luo Lintao, wake up, wake up, don't fall asleep."

"Your sleep quality is pretty good, huh?"

Luo Lintao's injury was in the mid to lower section of his calf, so only continuous spinal anesthesia was administered, with general anesthesia prepared.

Despite not being under general anesthesia, he actually drifted off to sleep.

Luo Lintao opened his eyes, didn't find his vision covered by a sheet, looked at the shadowless lamp on the ceiling, and quickly turned his head: "Doctor?"

"Is my surgery done?"

"Yes, it's done. So far, things look good, and this leg is temporarily saved."

"If recovery doesn't go well afterward, and the blood vessels are blocked, amputation might become necessary. But if recovery is good, then there's no need to worry about it."

"We need to inform you of some precautions!"~

Luo Lintao was overjoyed: "Really? Doctor, I don't need an amputation?"

Before falling asleep, he was lying on the operating table, thinking about many things.

He thought about where he could work if he had an amputation, what he could do, or if he could learn a skill.

How would he live in the future?

Whether he could find a girlfriend, and what his parents would do?

"For now, amputation is not being considered, you can look forward to recovery."

"The precautions I'll tell you now, you must keep in mind."

"First, you must not move this leg casually, be sure to keep it warm and pay attention to the recovery of sensation."

"No feeling!" Liu Lintao interrupted very cleverly.

Anesthesiologist Chen Chaocao replied with a smile: "If you had feeling while anesthetized, our director could carry a knife and chase me out of the country."

"How can you expect to feel anything while anesthetized?"

Liu Lintao awkwardly said: "I thought Dr. Lu was asking about my current feeling."

Lu Cheng raised a hand: "Second, you need to have your family come and take care of you, especially during the first three days post-surgery; you cannot get out of bed on your own!"

Your situation is different from a fracture surgery, you need to get out of bed for recovery as soon as possible."

"Your primary job is to lie down and rest, and don't move around, letting your blood vessels and nerves grow for a few days."

"Once everything is fine, then you can slowly get out of bed, use crutches, and walk slowly without putting weight on the limb."

"Got it?"

Liu Lintao nodded quickly: "Okay, Dr. Lu, I'll call my parents."

Liu Lintao said this, feeling particularly guilty.

He didn't have significant skills and didn't dare to go far for food delivery because he was afraid of bearing more life pressure.

He barely earned any money each month, although he didn't ask his family for money, he also hadn't saved any money over the years.

His parent's talk about getting a girlfriend never materialized.

Almost messed it all up…

"Alright, remember these points, and the rest we'll notify you about as needed later."

"You can't remember everything at once."

"Later you'll be transferred to the hand surgery ward for better care, we don't have all the equipment here."

"But don't worry, the hand surgery doctors are professional, they'll guide your postoperative recovery, no problem at all."

"Don't get anxious just because you don't see us, okay?"

These words were added by Lu Cheng only recently.

Previously, patients caused some trouble for the hand surgery department because they only recognized Lu Cheng's team and insisted they come over for rounds.

How could an emergency department doctor go and do rounds in another specialty?

The time for that isn't compliant with the rules, so Lu Cheng had to explain by phone.

No one is perfect, Lu Cheng couldn't foresee every detail right away.

"Alright, Dr. Lu, I'll listen to you."

"I said, as long as it's not amputation, I'll do everything you say." Liu Lintao was quite compliant.

"Then that's it, you go back to the hand surgery ward to rest."

"We won't be taking you over there."

After Lu Cheng spoke, he looked up, Chen Chaocao said: "Director Chen, his condition is alright, his knee joint can bear weight during the transfer."

"Just say this, and the hand surgery doctor will know how to transfer him."

"They're familiar with postoperative instructions too."

Chen Chaocao laughed: "I have no concerns about this, you're the top expert in limb preservation surgery for severe injuries."

"If you'd tell me to remove his steel plate now, I'd do it without hesitation."

Anesthesiologists are usually humorous jokers.

Every day in the operating room, without even seeing patients, is even more 'uneventful' than surgery."

Liu Lintao was startled, his upper body rose in alarm, choosing to stay away from Chen Chaocao: "On second thought, let's not?"

"Just kidding, it's not real." Chen Chaocao quickly comforted him, after all, patients don't get the operating room's joke culture.

Everyone talking and laughing means the surgery went well.

This is both enjoyable and welcoming.

No one wants something unexpected to happen in the operating room and then have someone descend like a deity to resolve it.

The former is common, while the latter is rare.

Too many patients facing accidents end up being 'resolved' by the accident itself.

"I mean, Dr. Lu is the most professional at limb preservation surgery in our hospital, whatever he says goes."

"I choose to follow without question."

"What do you say to that?" Chen Chaocao, an old doctor, experienced and shrewd.

Liu Lintao immediately nodded: "I'll follow without question too."

Chen Chaocao scolded: "Young man, you don't have a medical background, you should listen with your brain, okay?"

"Do you think you're like me?"

Chen Chaocao's jokes were timely, easing the patient's embarrassment while effectively backing up Lu Cheng.

This kind of seasoned person is a resourceful expert, with their own ways of dealing with the world.
