Healing Doctor

Chapter 55 The Blessed Toilet

The mission was completed smoothly, and Ji Xiang gained 3000 experience points.

He casually added the experience points to the circumcision under the suture device, but the "mere" 3000 experience points disappeared without a trace, and the experience bar only showed a slight change that could be observed with the naked eye.

Ji Xiang didn't mind. He didn't turn away after the system task was completed, but stayed by the patient's side to observe his condition.

Once the patient's pain subsided, Ji Xiang shared his experience with the patient.

Landing on your heels when jumping and squatting to urinate will be more helpful.

The patient and their family were stunned to hear about this method and found it unbelievable.

If Ji Xiang hadn't been wearing white, who would have believed that such a strange method could actually help expel stones?

An emergency room doctor hurried by and overheard Ji Xiang explaining the patient's condition to the patient and their family. He then took a special look at the young man.

"Young man, come find me when you're done explaining," the emergency room doctor said.

"Okay, teacher."

Ji Xiang explained things to the patient in great detail, as he had personally experienced it. Some of the details he described were particularly insightful, which caught the patient's attention.

Gradually, the patients came to regard Ji Xiang as one of their own. Eventually, they even pulled Ji Xiang aside to sit and discuss their conditions.

After they finished talking, Ji Xiang went to see the emergency room doctor.

This person wasn't on duty yesterday. Emergency room staff are usually on duty 12 or 24 hours a day, so they didn't know that Ji Xiang had performed a remarkable feat yesterday by performing a corpus cavernosum puncture and intravenous infusion.

"What's your name?" the emergency room doctor asked when he had a moment to spare.

"Ji Xiang, the 'Ji' of 'auspicious' and the 'Xiang' of 'fly

"Nice name, and you seem quite energetic," the emergency room doctor smiled. "You explained the patient's condition in great detail. Are you new to the hospital?"

"I just started my residency training."

"That's good, that's good. Now that you've mentioned squatting to urinate, let me tell you a story to enrich your material for communicating with patients."

Ji Xiang thought the emergency room doctor was a wonderful person and nodded repeatedly.

It just so happened that there were no patients in the emergency department at the moment, and the doctor wanted to chat with him for a while. Ji Xiang thought that he was just incredibly lucky.

"When I first started working at the department, there were always patients waiting in the corridor outside."

Huh? Ji Xiang was taken aback when he heard the emergency room doctor say that.

The word "stakeout" is used in a slightly odd way.

"I find it strange too. I want to ask patients what's wrong, but I always forget. The key is that I was young back then and too shy," the emergency room doctor laughed. "Unlike now."

"Is there a difference now?" Ji Xiang scratched his head.

"There are still some," the emergency room doctor said without explaining. "Then one day during lunch, a nurse told me that our emergency room bathroom has magic; patients with urinary tract stones have a particularly high stone-passing rate here."

"Emmm~~~" Ji Xiang seemed to understand something.

"A hospital, you'd think, should be dominated by materialism, but once you've worked there long enough, you'll learn all sorts of idealistic metaphysics," the emergency room doctor said. "I didn't believe it back then. Even if it were a blessing, who the hell would bless a bathroom, right?"

"Yes!" Ji Xiang nodded.

"Later I asked the patients, and they were spreading the word about the emergency room's restrooms. I didn't believe it, so I asked an older doctor and found out why."

"Is it about using the toilet?"

"Hmm." The ER doctor smiled. "The old doctor told me the best posture for passing stones is squatting. At home, we use sit-down toilets or Western-style toilets, and if the posture is wrong, the efficiency of passing stones is not as good as squatting in the ER."

"Over time, some patients started to share their experiences, saying that they recovered quickly in the emergency room but not at home. This misconception gradually spread, and it became known that the emergency room restrooms were blessed."

"Hahaha." Ji Xiang laughed loudly.

The emergency room doctor said, "You can come to study whenever you have time. I work a four-day shift."

"Okay, teacher."

As he was speaking, a patient came in, the emergency room doctor waved his hand, and Ji Xiang left the examination room.

I completed a system task and gained 3000 experience points. The patient looked at me with sympathy and I even overheard some gossip.

Ji Xiang felt he had gained a lot.

Back in his department, Ji Xiang was about to change his clothes and go home.

Just as I took off my white coat, I suddenly heard the crisp sound of a system task notification.

"Ding-dong~"

Ji Xiang was somewhat satisfied; it seemed that the hospital was indeed a good place to gain experience.

My 126 surgery points are far from enough; the more tasks I complete, the better.

However, in the blink of an eye, the system panel in the upper right corner of Ji Xiang's vision began to flash with a blinding light.

Huh? What does that mean?

Ji Xiang was taken aback.

Urgent Mission: Air Embolism!

Task: Provide emergency resuscitation for a patient suffering from air embolism.

Task time: 2 hours

Task Rewards: 30000 experience points, 40 surgery points.

Air embolism?

Air embolism!

Ji Xiang's heart tightened; no wonder the system was flashing a dazzling red light.

Based on Ji Xiang's understanding of this emergency, if it is an air embolism, the patient can basically be declared dead.

Generally speaking, air embolism is not a common occurrence in urology; most cases occur unexpectedly during surgery.

just now……

Ji Xiang thought about it carefully, held his breath, and entered the system space.

"Teacher, which department is the patient in?" Ji Xiang asked anxiously as he came in.

"I don't know either," the system NPC said. "Go take a look."

Go take a look? Is he saying this to himself?

Ji Xiang was a little confused about what the system NPC meant. He paused for a moment, then saw the system NPC walk into the operating room with its hands behind its back and its waist bent.

The system knows, but the system NPCs don't. This convoluted sentence flashed through Ji Xiang's mind.

"Probably to protect my privacy, the system did a pretty good job," Ji Xiang thought to himself as he followed the system NPC into the operating room.

The patient lies on the operating table in the left lateral position, and the systemic anesthesiologist is administering anesthesia.

Many times, Ji Xiang couldn't understand why the operating room had to be so formal.

The level of rigor in the procedures here even surpasses that of a real operating room.

系统麻醉医生取左侧卧位行两点腰硬联合麻醉，选T10/T11间隙行硬膜外穿刺并向头端置入硬膜外导管约5cm，硬膜外给予1.5%利多卡因3mL试验剂量。

He then performed spinal anesthesia at the L3/L4 interspace, using 2.4 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine.

Continuous epidural and spinal anesthesia.

After anesthesia, the patient's vital signs were stable, with blood pressure of 109/67 mmHg, heart rate of 83 beats/min, and oxygen saturation of 98%. The patient was then placed in the left lateral decubitus position for surgery.

"Administer palonosetron hydrochloride 0.15mg and dezocine 10mg," the system NPC said to the anesthesiologist after checking the patient's status.

The anesthesiologist quietly carried out the doctor's orders.

"Generally, I would choose general anesthesia, but I prefer continuous epidural anesthesia plus spinal anesthesia," the system NPC explained to Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang nodded.

He didn't understand the difference between the two, but he was young and had plenty of time to figure it out.

The patient was in a prone position. After reviewing the scans, Dr. Huang confirmed that it was a right kidney stone and hydronephrosis, and then began to disinfect his hands.

Ji Xiang couldn't help, so he could only watch quietly.

The system NPC makes a 1cm incision above the right kidney, then performs a puncture to create a channel between the renal pelvis and the skin.

As the channel expands, the 22cm nephroscope is inserted.

After locating the stone, it was broken up using a laser.

The kidney stones were broken up, and the system NPC removed the large pieces of stone, while the fragments were rinsed with salt water.

The surgery was quick and clean.

Finally, a stoma tube was placed, and the surgery was declared over.

Ji Xiang waited for the entire surgery, his eyes constantly switching between the system NPC's surgical process and the monitor.

But even after the surgery was over and the mannequin was sent away, Ji Xiang still couldn't see anything wrong.

What happened to the air embolism?

What happened to the promised major rescue?

Why is there nothing there?

Ji Xiang had countless questions on his mind, but he held them back for a long time before finally asking, "Teacher, are there any unexpected issues?"

"Of course, there were no accidents during my surgery," the system NPC said calmly.

"..."

Ji Xiang smelled a Versailles scent again.

The system NPC has a gentle temperament and teaches clearly and concisely, making complex concepts easy to understand. He is indeed a top-notch teacher.

But the sudden appearance of Versailles was hard for Ji Xiang to accept.

Even though Ji Xiang knew that what the system NPC said was true.

"You'll get used to it. People have the right to say that," Jixiang comforted herself.

"What's wrong?"

The system NPC looked up at Ji Xiang.

"Teacher, you are good in every way, but don't you think you are not humble enough?" Ji Xiang asked directly, showing his straightforward nature.

"That's already very modest," the system NPC said calmly.

Ji Xiang remained silent.

"As for that system task, after you watch my surgery, learn about surgery, and then compare it with the surgeon's surgery, you will know where the problem lies."

Ji Xiang was still a little panicked. "Teacher, that's an air embolism."

"I know, but based on the patient's condition, the problem shouldn't be too serious," the system NPC said.

Air embolism, not a big problem, Ji Xiang has countless complaints he can't bring himself to say.

"Practice surgery first," the system NPC said. "As for problems you encounter in the future, don't panic. Come here and I'll teach you how to solve them. Actually, many rescues aren't difficult; it's just that the doctors panicked and missed the best time for rescue."

"..."

"Furthermore, it's because we lack experience."

Ji Xiang sighed softly.

He clicked on the system interface and found the percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure.

Manual circumcision is at LV9, and with the experience points bonus from the entire urology department, each branch of surgery can be directly upgraded to LV7.

Click to upgrade!

This upgrade gave Ji Xiang a benefit: all his urological surgeries could be easily upgraded to the level of chief surgeon or above.

Could kidney transplants really be this simple? Ji Xiang wondered to himself.

But Ji Xiang also noticed something – this upgrade didn't give any experience points.

Is it good or bad?

The system NPC seemed to have seen through Ji Xiang's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Leveling up quickly will result in a lot less experience points, but the impact will be on you more than ten years from now."

"You'll have to figure out the specifics yourself."

Ji Xiang let out a long sigh, whether out of regret or something else.
