This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 138 Taking on a critical mission!
The operating room in the surgical building was brightly lit in the early hours of the morning, and circulating nurses were still pushing various instruments in an orderly manner.

The look on their faces wasn't the anxiety and disarray typical of emergency room staff, but rather sheer exhaustion.

With the intervention of Professors Chen Song and Tong Yuan'an, the rescue process is now over, and what remains is a "pseudo-elective surgery," so everyone can relax and not panic.

Lu Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to go to the fifth operating room where Tong Yuan'an was located first.

The operating rooms in the surgical building are more than twice as luxurious in size, furnishings, and number of operating rooms as those in the emergency department.

"Wow!"

After Lu Cheng stepped on the automatic sensor-operated foot-operated airlock, many eyes turned to him. After glancing at Lu Cheng, no one spoke.

Tong Yuan'an, however, glanced at Lu Cheng with obvious annoyance, and while continuing to work on the relatively critical vascular suturing, asked, "Little Lu, how's that second-zone flexor tendon?"

Lu Cheng slightly lowered his eyelids and accurately memorized: "The distal tendon belly of the flexor tendon of the index finger is longitudinally torn at the one o'clock and five o'clock positions, and longitudinally torn at the ten o'clock and eight o'clock positions."

"You're just making things worse!" Tong Yuan'an didn't curse, but he was gritting his teeth and breathing heavily.

Lu Cheng approached the operating table, carefully observed the progress of the surgery, and then said, "Teacher Tong, you've finished treating the tendons here. I'll go check out the next operating room to see if I need any help."

Lu Cheng's explanation was cryptic, and he did not boast that his tendon suturing technique was excellent.

From the order in which Tong Yuan'an was treating the severed finger, Lu Cheng understood why Professor Zhong had specifically emphasized the order of finger replantation to him at Peking Union Medical College Hospital last time.

Hand surgery is a specialized field, and I have seriously studied and practiced the procedures, so I am familiar with the surgical process and sequence as if it were second nature. I am still standing outside the door because I haven't even reached the learning stage yet.

"After you're done, come to room 3. There's a hemilimb replantation case over there. I'll check the situation and deal with the blood vessels first!" Tong Yuan'an instructed.

Tong Yuan'an was angry because he already had enough emergency cases, and after this surgery, he still had a partial limb replantation surgery waiting for him.

Now, with an additional tendon revision surgery, he not only has to perform more surgeries, but he also has to race against time.

No surgeon was willing to rush to perform the operation!

Lu Cheng had already turned around and was about to return to the airtight door of the operating room when he heard Tong Yuan'an say this. Lu Cheng hesitated and turned back:
"Professor Tong, why don't you go straight to the emergency operating room after you finish here? I'll take care of that partial limb replantation surgery."

Tong Yuan'an instinctively stopped his suturing, looked up in surprise, and asked hesitantly, "Are you trying to cause trouble again?"

Before Tong Yuan'an could finish speaking, he had already quickly analyzed the details in his mind.

On Teacher's Day, Lu Cheng demonstrated to himself the suturing of the severed tail artery, showing that the diameter of the artery in the replanted half-limb was much larger than that in the replanted finger.

If Lu Cheng truly learns something from the advanced training course on nerve suturing at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, then even with nerve damage, he can still perform this hemi-limb replantation.

Of course, Lu Cheng wouldn't immediately report to me to show off after learning it. Tong Yuan'an was just the one who initiated the autism; he wasn't unaware of the psychological impact his autism would have on Lu Cheng.

"Can you handle it?" Tong Yuan'an's tone changed.

Lu Cheng replied in a very standard voice, "I certainly don't have as much experience as you, Teacher Tong, but if the requirements aren't too high and it's to save time, it's acceptable."

"They should be able to survive and even seize some features."

The person who was paired with Tong Yuan'an was Tian Shan, the deputy director of the orthopedics department, who was mainly responsible for performing sports medicine surgeries. He was dumbfounded at this moment.

Of course, the disposable surgical mask only showed his wide-eyed disbelief. Nobody paid any attention.

Tong Yuan'an nodded gently: "That's fine then... Go check if the tendon suturing in the other operating rooms is urgent."

"If you're not in a rush, go to the three rooms first."

"There are five patients here. The patients in rooms 1 and 4 have no issues with tendons, while the patient in room 2 has multiple tendon injuries in the upper and lower limbs."

“Go take a look.” Tong Yuan’an emphasized the word “take a look.”

Room 2 is the operating room where Peng Haibo performs surgeries. Because of Peng Kun's past record, he now even suspects that Peng Haibo might also be taking advantage of the chaos to 'get a chance to operate'!
"Okay!" Lu Cheng didn't turn around and stepped directly into the airtight door of the operating room.

The surgical operating room is a single-sided, intermittent unit, 135/246.
Room 5 was not far from the two operating rooms; Lu Cheng walked less than twenty meters to the door.

After entering the ward, I saw familiar faces everywhere. Director Peng Haibo and Director Liu Xia from Ward 2 were personally performing the surgeries, with two other doctors from Ward 2 assisting them.

Upon seeing Lu Cheng enter, Director Liu Xia of the Second Ward hurriedly greeted him, "Little Lu, you've come at the right time. This patient has multiple injuries to the muscles and tendons of his upper and lower limbs. You can take a look..."

Peng Haibo has now returned to the stage, but he remains frozen to the side, not saying a word.

The Second Orthopedic Ward was separated from the First Orthopedic Ward, and its main business is not much different from that of the First Orthopedic Ward.

The only difference is that Ward 2 does not have an emergency department; it mainly serves as a ward for patients undergoing elective surgery and is less busy than Ward 1.

However, Peng Haibo would refer some simpler diseases such as bone and joint tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, and infections to the second ward.

In urgent situations, expediency is necessary. In reality, Lu Cheng was only an attending physician and, in principle, should not have become the technical supervisor, guiding the two associate chief physicians.

However, his technical supervisor position was temporarily appointed by the vice president. At this point, the two directors could disregard Lu Cheng's guidance, and Lu Cheng could also claim that he had never been to this operating room.

Lu Cheng approached the operating table, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Director Liu, Director Peng, the surgery here will take some time before the tendon is sutured."

"You can leave the tendon sutures in place for now, and I'll deal with it later."

“When I first went to room 5, Professor Tong asked me to go to room 3 to handle the hemiplegic replantation.”

"The situation over there is a bit more urgent. I'll come over after I've finished dealing with it. After Professor Tong leaves the operating room, he will go directly to the emergency operating room."

Lu Cheng stopped, looked up at Liu Xia and Peng Haibo, and asked for their opinions.

Lu Cheng's words contained a lot of information, which made Peng Haibo and Liu Xia pause for a moment. Hemiplegic replantation is a professional procedure in hand surgery, which no one in Long County can perform.

Peng Haibo's attention was more focused on Professor Tong's whereabouts. Upon hearing that Tong Yuan'an would go to the emergency surgery area immediately after leaving the stage, he nodded immediately.

"It's alright, Xiao Lu, you go ahead. We'll leave the operations here to you."

Liu Xia coughed, her voice distorted as she spoke: "Xiao Lu, what did you just say? Professor Tong asked you to get a partial limb replantation?"

Lu Cheng ignored Liu Xia and circled the operating table again to confirm that the blood vessel damage had been treated and there was no active bleeding. However, there were many wounds, making it look quite dangerous.

"Director Liu, Teacher Tong just asked me to come over and take a look first. Whether I can actually do it depends on the specific situation." Lu Cheng turned around and stepped into the door again.
