Change your shoes and clothes, put on a mask and hat to cover your nose and hair, and then start washing your hands.

First, disinfect your hands and forearms with disinfectant, keeping your hands clasped in a cupped position and your arms not hanging down. The whole process takes six minutes. Only after you are sure everything is in order can you enter the operating room.

To alleviate the patient's suffering, the anesthesiologist had already anesthetized the patient beforehand.

"Director, has Director Liu arrived?"

The surgery was ready, but Dr. Liu from the orthopedics department had not yet arrived.

The final surgical plan has not yet been decided.

Zhang Ming glanced at the time and said calmly, "He should be here soon. He was just on the operating table."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a doctor in his early fifties walked in. This man was none other than Director Liu of the Orthopedics Department. Having just come off the operating table, Director Liu had no time to replenish his energy and quickly entered the operating room.

"Old Zhang, how's the patient?"

The directors are all very familiar with each other.

Zhang Ming opened the X-ray and explained: "There are three fractures in the tibia. My plan is open surgery with a metal plate."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Tian.

He added, "But my intern suggested a manual reduction treatment plan. My manual technique isn't suitable. For the three fractures, I can only use plates. You're an orthopedic expert, so please analyze the feasibility."

Director Liu chuckled, "Manual reduction of three fractures? Which intern suggested that? Does our hospital have someone like that?"

"It was suggested in the summer."

Zhang Ming pointed to Xia Tian.

Wearing a mask in the operating room, Director Liu didn't recognize Xia Tian at first. Upon hearing his name, Director Liu paused for a moment before speaking.

"Is this the summer when McDonald's chefs used cleavers to perform open-chest surgeries on patients?"

The summer's wave of internet celebrity popularity hadn't even died down yet, and everyone in the hospital knew his name.

"it's me."

It's a little embarrassing in the summer.

"Hehe." Director Liu chuckled, speaking with the chuckles of an elder: "Not bad. I watched your video. Your courage is commendable, and your technique is excellent. I also saw that surgery. I must say, the incision was intact. If I hadn't seen the video, I wouldn't have believed that the ribs were severed with a kitchen knife."

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Young people are brave and resourceful, which is commendable, but they should learn humbly. This patient's tibia was broken into four sections. It is not impossible to manually reduce the fracture at three points, but the chance of success is extremely slim."

"The tibia is the most important bone in the lower leg. Even a slight problem can leave the patient disabled for the rest of their life."

"In all my years in orthopedics, I've only seen two cases of successful closed reduction of fractures. As for three cases?"

"Don't even think about it, it won't succeed."

"Old Zhang, get ready for surgery. Have the steel plate ready."

Zhang Ming winked at Xia Tian, ​​signaling him: Don't be discouraged, you're the best!

The two chief physicians are preparing for surgery.

At that moment, a nurse rushed in, covering her mouth and nose with a mask, and said quickly.

"Director Liu, Director Zhang, a patient has arrived at the emergency room. A steel pipe with a diameter of 10 centimeters has pierced the patient's chest. All three of the patient's vital signs have dropped to the lowest level. The patient is currently undergoing emergency treatment in operating room number 2. Director Wang from the Department of Thoracic Surgery wants you two to come over for a consultation."

What the hell!

A steel pipe with a diameter of 10 centimeters pierced through his chest... Could this person still be alive?

This is an emergency within an emergency room!

Without saying a word, Director Zhang and Director Liu immediately put down their scalpels and quickly gave instructions to the interns.

"Don't move the patient yet."

"Notify Dr. Mu, the deputy director of orthopedics, to come and perform the surgery."

The surgery to insert the steel plate was very simple and did not require two chief physicians. Any deputy chief physician could handle it. Saving lives was the priority, so the two quickly gave a few instructions and left.

Inside the operating room.

The patient had fallen into a deep sleep after being anesthetized.

The three interns looked at each other in bewilderment.

Fatty Yang went to inform Dr. Mu, the deputy director of orthopedics, and was told that Dr. Mu was on the operating table and asked them to wait for 20 minutes.

Twenty minutes isn't a long time; it'll be over in a single ranked match.

But in the operating room, time can be quite long.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you thinking about?"

Summer stared at the patient's legs without moving, as if she were in a meditative state.

Xia Tian looked up at Fatty Yang and Li Xiaohong, and asked seriously.

"Fatty, Xiaohong, I need to move the patient a bit. Do you agree?"

"Move? How do you move?" The two were dumbfounded.

Xia Tian said, "I will treat the patient using manual reduction. You just heard what Director Liu said. The chances of success with manual reduction are very small. If anything happens, I am willing to take full responsibility."

"But now that you're in the operating room, if something really happens, you'll be held responsible."

"Therefore, I need your consent."

"If you agree, I'll do it; if you don't agree, we'll wait for Dr. Mu."

Fatty Yang and Li Xiaohong looked at each other. The three of them were not from the same university, but they had interned together for nearly three months. The two trusted Xia Tian very much. In their hearts, Xia Tian had always been an excellent senior with good grades and a kind and adorable personality.

He said it was fine, there shouldn't be any problem.

But... if something goes wrong, they will have to take responsibility.

I'm so conflicted~~~~

A minute later, Li Xiaohong spoke.

"I agree."

"Brother Tian, ​​you do it. We trust you."

"Besides, the patient was going to have open surgery anyway. If the reduction is unsuccessful, we can just put a plate in. It's just manual reduction, it's not like it will kill him. I support you."

While Fatty Yang was still struggling with his decision, Li Xiaohong's gaze drifted towards him.

The girls all agreed.

What are you afraid of?

I disagree, and I look down on you!

Fatty Yang blushed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Brother Tian, ​​I agree too. You do it."

With the consent of my two friends, summer has begun.

The images in his mind repeated themselves over and over again, and with his 50% skillful touch, his movements were crisp and efficient.

Rotational displacement of the fracture site, separation and displacement to ensure complete correction.

The three broken bones were repositioned one by one.

He moved slowly and skillfully, with not a single unnecessary movement.

Five minutes later, Xia Tian released his grip and looked at the patient's right leg; the irregular shape had disappeared.

"Fatty, Xiaohong, come and take a look. Is the patient's leg still bent?"

The three men stared at the patient's leg for a full thirty seconds.

Li Xiaohong said, "It seems there are no problems."

Fatty Yang nodded: "It should be fine, except for some redness and swelling. But we can't tell if the break has been repaired like this. We need to get an X-ray to check."

"Brother Tian, ​​what should we do? Push the patient out?"

Xia Tian hesitated for two seconds, then said, "Let's go!"

In operating room number 18, Dr. Mu said to the people below, "You can continue stitching. There's another surgery in operating room number 3 involving the insertion of a metal plate. I'm going to transfer the tables."

After handing over the follow-up work to his subordinates, Dr. Mu strode towards operating room number 3.

Fifteen minutes earlier, the emergency room intern called him to perform surgery, instructing him that it was Director Liu who had given the order.

Dr. Mu dared not delay and sped up the surgical procedure, arriving 5 minutes early.

When Dr. Mu pushed open the door to operating room number 3, he was stunned.

Where is the patient???
