At 7:20 in the evening, Yu Zhiming, who first communicated with Director Liu Yun about the specific surgical plan, together with Director Liu and Dr. Ding Ye, met today's surgery target Zhu Meisheng, as well as her parents and family.
What makes Yu Zhiming a little strange is that he did not see Zhu Meisheng's husband, whose identity is still mysterious.
Yu Zhiming guessed that maybe he was a big star and was afraid that the hospital staff would talk too much and leak the news about his marriage?
It's just that my wife is worried about this and that so she doesn't dare to show up for the surgery. The relationship between the two...
Tsk?
Yu Zhiming was gossiping in his mind while listening to Director Liu describe the possible surgical accidents, complications, and consequences one by one to the patients and their families.
Subsequently, the patient and family members signed the surgery notification and consent forms, officially entering the preparation stage for the surgery...
Yu Zhiming followed Director Liu to the surgery dressing room and changed into a blue T-shirt specially designed for surgery.
"Dr. Yu, how confident are you that the cancer will not recur and that the pregnancy will be successful?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "I am relatively confident that I can circle the cancerous area more accurately."
"As for the rest, it all depends on your ability, Director Liu, as well as the patient's recovery and luck."
Liu Yun was silent for a moment and said: "Dr. Yu, in our Huashan Hospital alone, there are four to five hundred people who have hysterectomies due to various diseases every year, and many of them are young women who are infertile or even unmarried."
"If we can achieve precise removal of uterine lesions like this surgery, it will allow many young women to realize their dream of becoming mothers."
Yu Zhiming said frankly: "Director Liu, I delineated the scope of cancer based on my feelings. There is a considerable risk of omissions."
"I wish Meisheng is willing to take this risk."
"Others may not be willing to take this risk."
Liu Yun sighed softly.
Many people talk about cancer.
Not everyone is as obsessed with having children as a mother like Zhu Meisheng, and is not afraid of the risk of cancer recurrence.
Liu Yun knew very well that even if she took the initiative to give the surgical option of precise resection of the lesions, it is estimated that most patients would eventually choose the surgical plan of enlarged total resection...
Liu Yun and Yu Zhiming changed their clothes, put on surgical caps and masks, then disinfected their hands and entered the operating room. With the help of the nurse, they put on sterile surgical gowns and surgical gloves.
At this time, under the responsibility of Dr. Ding Ye, who was one step ahead of them, Zhu Meisheng was already lying on the operating table, and the anesthesiologist performed lumbar epidural anesthesia.
Liu Yun and Yu Zhiming took their seats next to the operating table, greeted Zhu Meisheng who was still awake, and started the operation without any delay.
Liu Yun took the scalpel and neatly made an incision of about fifteen centimeters on Zhu Meisheng's belly.
Originally, early-stage surgery for endometrial cancer like Zhu Meisheng's, if it was a total uterine/uterine resection, could be performed through minimally invasive surgery, leaving no large incision on the lower abdomen.
However, for accurate resection, Yu Zhiming needs to use his hands to check the cancerous parts of the uterus/uterus, and laparotomy is necessary.
There are gains and losses, this is the price to be paid.
After several consecutive incisions, a dilator was used to open the incision. As Zhu Meisheng's abdominal cavity was opened, the uterus was completely exposed to Yu Zhiming's field of vision.
He directly reached in with his right hand and gently grabbed the uterus.
Normally, an adult woman's uterus is seven to eight centimeters long, four to five centimeters wide, and two to three centimeters thick.
Its capacity is about five milliliters.
The length and width of Zhu Meisheng's uterus were still within the normal range, but the thickness, when Yu Zhiming touched it, felt about 0.5 centimeters thicker than usual.
He kneaded it carefully and gently for a minute or two, then reached out for a special marker pen and drew a horizontal line on the middle and lower part of the uterus.
Liu Yun understood it and cut it open with a scalpel along the marked line, and used a small retractor to pull the incision of the uterus open, completely exposing the inside.
Next, Yu Zhiming once again held the uterus in his hand, feeling it carefully and observing attentively...
At this moment, in the operating room, Liu Yun, Dr. Ding Ye, the anesthesiologist, three surgical nurses, and Zhu Meisheng, who was still awake under partial anesthesia, could not help but hold their breath for fear of disturbing Yu Zhiming...
After two or three minutes of this, Yu Zhiming moved his body first, picked up the marker pen again, and drew an irregular oval in the uterus.
Liu Yun looked at the range drawn by Yu Zhiming and said thoughtfully: "In order to facilitate surgery, suturing, and recovery, the actual range of resection needs to be much larger."
After hearing this, Zhu Meisheng, whose abdominal cavity was opened, finally couldn't help but cry out in worry.
"Director Liu, Zigong, child..."
Liu Yun looked at Zhu Meisheng, whose sight was blocked, and replied softly: "Ms. Zhu, you don't have to worry, the range of resection drawn by Dr. Yu is not large."
"I estimated that the actual uterus removed was only a quarter of the size."
"If you recover well after the surgery and have some luck, it won't delay your pregnancy and childbirth."
At this time, Yu Zhiming, who had completed mapping the cancerous area, had given up the surgical position and was replaced by Dr. Ding Ye to assist Director Liu in completing the next stage of the lesion removal surgery.
Yu Zhiming greeted: "Director Liu, I have nothing to do with you from now on, I will leave now."
Liu Yun nodded and sighed softly: "Doctor Yu, you always said before that you are just a tool."
"As far as today's surgery is concerned, we have all become your tools."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and replied: "How could it be?"
"Director Liu, you are the chief surgeon for this operation, and I am your assistant."
Liu Yun hummed softly: "For this operation, as the chief surgeon, I have dozens of doctors from Guanghuashan Hospital who can replace me."
"But there is no one in the whole country who can replace your little assistant."
Yu Zhiming smiled, nodded to Ding Ye who was winking at him, and exited the operating room...
It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening when he returned to his residence in Zijinyuan.
After chatting with Qing Ning and Fourth Sister for a while, Yu Zhiming went back to the bedroom and sat at the desk.
He took out a medical book and flipped through a few pages. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up his cell phone and dialed He Yingjun's number.
The phone rang twice and was picked up, followed by He Yingjun's voice.
"Doctor Yu, if you need anything, just give me your instructions directly."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "You are the dean's trusted secretary. How dare I give orders?"
"But there is something I need to know from you."
"Doctor Yu, what's the matter? Tell me!" He Yingjun knew Yu Zhiming's speaking style and replied quite concisely.
"Do you know Meng Fangyue, Secretary He?"
"I know, the nephew of the dean's wife took the patient to the outpatient clinic again today and asked Dr. Yu for an examination?"
When Yu Zhiming heard what He Yingjun said, he knew that he was very clear about Meng Fangyue's behavior.
"Secretary He, it's like this..."
"He did bring someone to see me today. He kept saying that he never had to register when he took someone to see a doctor."
"I ignored him."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued: "At dinner, he found me in the cafeteria again."
"He said he wanted to work with me to make a little money. I helped him see a patient, and he gave me a hundred yuan."
After a moment of silence, He Yingjun's voice sounded, "Dr. Yu, the nephew of the dean's wife, is a bit hard to explain."
"It is said that his wife is very controlling and only gives him a small amount of pocket money every month."
"He has no money, so he acts as a scalper and takes a patient with a general outpatient number to the specialist outpatient clinic of our hospital to earn some pocket money."
"Because he is quite measured and only treats one or two patients every month, he turns a blind eye to this matter."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming frowned.
Isn't this just connivance?
What about preventing the slightest change?
Yu Zhiming also knows that doctors have family and friends, and it is common for them to introduce relatives and friends to each other for treatment.
This is mutual help between doctors, they owe each other favors, and it is not for profit.
But Meng Fangyue's behavior was very inappropriate.
He Yingjun's voice sounded in Yu Zhiming's ears again, "Doctor Yu, the dean doesn't know anything about this."
"After I discovered this more than a year ago, I first informed the dean's wife."
"He was quiet for a few months and then did something like this again."
"From then on, every time Meng Fangyue saved the expert registration fee, the dean's wife handed it over to me, and I reimbursed it to the outpatient and emergency departments."
Yu Zhiming let out a long oh.
He Yingjun continued: "Dr. Yu, thank you for informing me about this matter."
"Some people and things cannot be condoned over and over again. I will handle Meng Fangyue's matter properly before bigger mistakes are made."
After Yu Zhiming heard what he said, he stopped continuing the topic and asked instead: "Secretary He, what time have you arranged for the VIP channel inspection?"
Yu Zhiming waited for more than ten seconds before hearing He Yingjun's reply, "Doctor Yu, there are still eleven people who have reported to me and have not yet had a physical examination."
"These people are all very busy people. Coordinating time every day is a troublesome thing."
Yu Zhiming heard some complaints in He Yingjun's words and knew that his communication and coordination on this matter were not smooth.
He considered and said: "Secretary He, given that my work is becoming more and more complex, and this VIP channel physical examination activity has separated my work schedule..."
"I thought that after completing the physical examination of these eleven people, this event would be over."
He Yingjun suggested on the phone: "Dr. Yu, isn't it too sudden for it to end like this?"
"It's better to give a buffer time and a very suitable time point."
"For example, New Year's Day?"
Yu Zhiming was happy that He Yingjun did not object to the end, but just delayed it for some time.
However, there are still two and a half months until New Year's Day, which is a bit too long.
"Secretary He, how about setting the deadline for this event on November 30th?"
