The Surgeon’s Studio

Chapter 681: Capable Son-In-Law

Chief Jiang did not know what he could learn.

The surgeon’s surgery in the operating theater was simple. It was so simple to the extent that the surgeon seemed wise but foolish, skillful but clumsy.

Every step of the operation seemed very simple. There was no difficulty at all.

However, Chief Jiang put himself in the surgeon’s position and knew for a fact that he could not reenact the surgery himself no matter what. All the things that he thought were difficult were not a problem for the surgeon. In fact, the surgeon would not even notice them. The microwires that he operated with ran through the narrow blood vessels, so smoothly that it felt suffocating.

What about Professor Mu in the operating room next to him?

It seemed that… It seemed that…he could not do it either.

When Professor Mu came in the morning, he was shocked when he saw him perform surgery. He already felt that his surgery was mediocre so quickly?

He really could not be compared to him.

Behind the lead-lined glass, the handsome assistant who made the circulating nurse turn her head to look at him from time to time waved his hand.

The air-tight lead door opened and Chief Jiang brought his men in.

“Chief Jiang, you guys carry the patient onto the stretcher trolley. Just patch up the external wound and then apply pressure on the bandage,” Su Yun said. “Bring the next patient up.”

This was a seamless operation. There was not even any space left for pressure to stop the bleeding.

“Transfuse the patient’s blood. Call the first-aid ambulance and send him to the ICU in Chengdu. Chief Jiang, you’re more familiar with Chengdu. I won’t say much about which hospital to send him to,” Zheng Ren said.

Chief Jiang nodded. He knew that the patient had lost too much blood. Even if the bleeding was stopped now and fresh frozen erythrocyte was continuously injected, there would still be a lot of trouble ahead.

Huaxi was definitely the strongest when it came to ICU care!

However, Huaxi’s ICU was probably overloaded at this moment… when he thought of the entire room filled with the sounds of ventilators and monitors that sounded like police sirens, Chief Jiang was so sleepy that his nerves were about to collapse.

He carried the patient off the operating table and onto the stretcher trolley. Chief Jiang’s junior doctor pressed onto the patient to stop the bleeding while another patient was carried up.

Su Yun disinfected the patient while Zheng Ren went to scrub his hands again.

The surgery proceeded without any gaps. The number of patients piled up outside gradually decreased.

“There’s a problem with the transmission on this side of the network. President Ji should be able to find someone in Chengdu, right?” Xie Ning was making a call to contact someone about something. After going deep into the outpost base, he understood more things and also discovered many problems. He was not at a loss because he was just a volunteer. The solution was in his mind and he had enough strength to implement it.

“Okay, send me your account number. I’ll get someone to transfer the money to you. Boss Ji, this isn’t like you. Okay, okay, Boss Ji. You’re a loyal person. Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. There will definitely be a time for cooperation in the future. Just send the stuff over as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Xie Ning hung up the phone.

During a sudden disaster, although they had mobilized the country’s strategic reserves, countless capable troops rushed to the frontlines from all over the country without fear of dying.

However, not everything could be solved with a single stroke of courage.

As soon as Xie Ning arrived at the frontlines, he realized that everything was far too chaotic.

Chengdu had accumulated too many supplies. The General Command’s grasp of the situation was still limited to the army and the country’s fire forces. As for the doctors who came from all over the country and the rescue teams that were set up spontaneously, everything else was left up in the air.

Xie Ning did not want to participate in these things. He had spent countless years in the military and knew what did and did not work.

He was concerned about two other things.

The wounded carried down from the frontline were like a tsunami, threatening to collapse the medical system in Chengdu.

This was only the beginning. It was not enough to rely on the medical workers’ toiling both day and night. The diagnosis, recovery, and treatment of the critically ill wounded that were transported down from the frontline were all being handled by the doctors’ instincts alone.

The hospitals were working at full capacity. At some point, everything would collapse on its head.

There was also an overload in missing people reports. In Huaxi’s courtyard, Xie Ning felt that he had to do something as he watched the anxious waiting faces morph into disappointment.

Of course, these two points were only part of the problem but were important to deal with. Xie Ning began to deal with these matters.

He contacted an acquaintance. His surname was Ji. He was in software outsourcing and was skilled in what he did, famous in the industry. It was said that he used to be a hacker, a known ‘king’ of the industry.

But this person only cared about money. As long as there was money, anything was negotiable.

Xie Ning found him and told him his thoughts. After President Ji listened to him, he did not hesitate and said that he would need at least 12 hours.

After explaining everything, Xie Ning went to one of the frontline nodes—Pengxi Village Hospital.

In less than 12 hours, President Ji completed the task that Xie Ning requested.

But this time, he seemed to have changed his personality and did not talk about money at all. Xie Ning could tell from the phone that there seemed to be something wrong with President Ji’s mood. He did not know if it was because he stayed up all night working on the software but for some reason, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn’t even speak clearly.

If he didn’t want the money then that was that. Xie Ning was free and easy, not being bothered by such a ‘small matter’.

Countless survivors were rescued from the epicenter of the earthquake and came to the hospital in Pengxi Village. The rescue convoy provided supplies, and the severely injured were treated on the spot. Those who had it worse were sent to Chengdu for treatment.

The doctors who stayed in Pengxi Village stayed up all night to deal with all external injuries that could be treated.

Xie Ning had a thick stack of paper filled with words in his hand. On the paper were written origins, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of many patients.

The old hospital director soon realized the value of Xie Ning. This outsider was as calm as an iceberg. No matter how busy he was, as long as he asked him something, he could explain the whole situation in a very orderly manner.

What kind of treatment did a severely injured person receive in Pengxi Village? Which ambulance had been sent to Chengdu? Even a portion of the patients sent to Chengdu was recorded by Xie Ning, where he had noted down which hospitals they were now in.

However, the information was not complete. Xie Ning could not complete all the work by himself.

All that was left was to wait. Xie Ning smiled.

At this moment, a doctor wearing an isolation suit and a white coat ran down barefooted.

“Uncle Ning, how many more patients with severe pelvic fractures are there?” the doctor asked.

“There are still 35 patients waiting to be treated. There are no ambulances for the time being. 233 patients with similar injuries have been transferred to Chengdu,” Xie Ning flipped the papers in his hand and immediately answered.

“The ward is full. This side will grab the ambulances to transfer the postoperative patients to Chengdu and send all thirty-five patients to the entrance of the operating theater,” the doctor said in a very straightforward manner.

“All of them?” Xie Ning hesitated for a moment, which was rare. “Can’t the surgery be done tomorrow night? I was just about to grab someone to transfer them away.”

“It’s better to do the heavy patient transfer here!” the junior doctor said, “Chief Jiang just said that we have the resources and it’ll definitely be faster than sending them to Chengdu.”

“Huh?” Xie Ning looked at the junior doctor’s eyes and suddenly remembered the figure of his capable son-in-law.

Before he came, Chief Jiang had just told him about the number of surgeries he could complete. With their almost infinite number of patients, it was a negligible number.

In Xie Ning’s opinion, it was enough to leave one or two patients in Pengxi Village for treatment. If they finished the surgery, new patients would be sent at any time so there was no need to reserve any.

“How many cases have been completed?” Xie Ning looked at the time. It had been three hours and sixteen minutes since he sent Zheng Ren there.

“Fifteen patients have been treated and the ward is full. Now, we need to transfer the patients to Chengdu so they can enter the ICU for the next step of treatment.”

Even the calm Xie Ning was stunned.

It was done so quickly?

However, he immediately instructed his secretary to modify the plan. After that, he found volunteers and carried a few patients who needed to undergo interventional surgery straight to the interventional surgery room.
