"I just watched your technique in stopping the bleeding. It's very skilled. Are you the only one handling these cases at your hospital?"
Patients with arterial injuries aren't exclusive to State People's Hospital; County Hospital encounters them too.
However, at County Hospital, the risk of mortality from such arterial injuries is much higher. A ruptured femoral artery isn't sothing any doctor can handle swiftly and appropriately.
"We don't encounter many at our hospital, and it's not just handling them, Director Tian."
"I only deal with them if they co up when I'm on duty," Lu Cheng said.
Arterial injuries are classified as super ergencies. If Lu Cheng isn't on duty, even if he's aware of a case, he won't rush to the hospital.
In these cases of arterial bleeding, a few minutes are crucial. If hemostasis is effective, the patient survives; if not, there's little hope for a miracle.
When the patient arrives at the hospital, it's by chance who is on duty and whether the doctor on duty is skilled at handling active arterial bleeding.
It's sothing no one can predict in advance.
Zhang Tiesheng and others can handle it too, just not as well as I can.
"Oh, I thought you were monopolizing the cases."
"Just now, when I heard the news and rushed over, you all had already stopped the bleeding. This operation clearly wasn't led by Liang Jianhong." Tian Zhiliang knew Liang Jianhong very well.
Lu Cheng joked, "Director Tian, in such situations, even if the others want to monopolize the cases, I wouldn't dare."
"It's really like licking food off a knife's edge."
...
Lu Cheng was on duty with Tian Zhiliang, and after Tian Zhiliang finished his day shift, Lu Cheng went to rest.
Doctors who are being assessed during their shifts are also human. Once they've settled on one's shift, there's no need to add extras.
Tian Zhiliang has a night shift tomorrow, which will allow him to observe Lu Cheng's basic abilities.
Moreover, tomorrow during the day, the hospital's ergency departnt needs to arrange for Lu Cheng to go to the functional laboratory for a skills assessnt.
It's sowhat inhumane to have Lu Cheng stay up all night before taking the assessnt.
In fact, it doesn't matter; to Lu Cheng, it's just him alone. Regardless of the results, Lu Cheng is the only choice.
Working with Tian Zhiliang was rather unremarkable, essentially just a sophisticated referral service.
For kidney stones, consult urology.
For acute abdon, consult general surgery.
For fractures, consult orthopedics.
For dislocations, consult the joint surgery departnt.
The main focus is on consulting. Participate without taking responsibility, not as the attending physician. Only preliminary diagnoses are made; the final diagnosis isn't their responsibility.
Only clean wounds, but no surgeries.
...
In the afternoon, at 5:40, after finishing his shift with Tian Zhiliang, Lu Cheng felt a bit bored.
As he left the ergency departnt, Lu Cheng even pondered whether coming to State People's Hospital was necessary.
An external departnt without surgeries seems sowhat amusing.
Just as Lu Cheng finished work, a call from Mu Leng ca, inviting Lu Cheng over for dinner.
With no other plans, and after confirming with Tian Zhiliang that he didn't need to cover the evening shift with Cao Gui, Lu Cheng accepted the invitation.
Upon arriving at Mu Leng's ho, Lu Cheng found that Director Xiao Zhaoxi from the ergency surgery departnt was there as well.
Additionally, Director Xiao Zhaoxi personally brought so alcohol.
Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow and started greeting everyone: "Uncle Mu, Auntie, Director Xiao. Book Bag."
On this trip for the follow-along assessnt, Mu Nanshu accompanied Lu Cheng. However, Mu Nanshu only hitched a ride and didn't stay at the hotel with Lu Cheng, heading directly to Mu Leng's place.
"Xiao Lu, you're here. Co, sit down. The al is ready, and the last two dishes are about to be served," Yan Sangyue cordially invited him.
Mu Leng was chatting with Xiao Zhaoxi: "Xiao Lu, you arrived just in ti. Please pour wine for your director."
Lu Cheng changed into slippers, washed his hands at the sink, and then approached the dining table: "Director Xiao, I have an operational assessnt tomorrow, so I probably shouldn't drink."
Xiao Zhaoxi responded with mock irritation: "You, guy, aren't you being a bit ruthless? In this second round of tests, you eliminated the other two."
"Do you now know you have an operational assessnt? Having a solo assessnt isn't stressful or aningful, is it?"
Xiao Zhaoxi thought Lu Cheng used his connections to eliminate the other two competitors in an underhanded way.
Thanks to these two competitors for helping reach the 'testing requirent'!
Mu Leng's expression briefly paused: "Director Xiao, are you saying that only Lu Cheng went to your departnt today?"
"Yeah? You didn't know?" Xiao Zhaoxi looked at Mu Leng thoughtfully.
Mu Leng glanced at Lu Cheng and shook his head. "I wasn't aware of this."
Xiao Zhaoxi then laughed, "Then our Xiao Lu is even more interesting; he's even keeping it from his future father-in-law."
Lu Cheng didn't elaborate much, just explaining, "Director Xiao, I don't know why the other two gave up either."
"Keeps a good attitude, not arrogant or impatient," Xiao Zhaoxi appreciated Lu Cheng's calm and modest deanor.
So people would brag about how incredible they are and how they managed to outmaneuver others.
Mu Leng then changed the topic, "Director Xiao, do you think Lu Cheng's skills are adequate? At least he's not embarrassing us, right?"
Xiao Zhaoxi shook his head, "There's no embarrassnt. Even the associate chief physicians in our departnt are wary of him."
"They complained to at noon..."
"After all, this young man even won awards in statewide competitions. For us older generation, we're surely dood," Xiao Zhaoxi's tone of praise was formal and serious.
