Episode 453 Heart Surgery [4]
“line.”
“line?”
“Yeah, really. Inma.”
“Ah… … yes!”
The idea of suturing a heart is actually not something that comes to mind easily.
If it were original, it would be something that should not be remembered in this day and age.
Does that make sense?
What kind of needle is this? It’s stuck in my heart.
But if the tough guy has already taken the knife, there’s nothing you can do.
‘That crazy kid… … ‘
I don’t like stabbing the heart, so I’d like to stab it somewhere else after the surgery.
“after…….”
“Why is it so… … slow.”
“I’m tired. From now on, it’s up to you… … .”
“Me? Hmm… … .”
“Not sure? Then I’ll do it.”
“No, no. Actually, I’ve been watching it all along… … I was wondering if we could do it differently.”
The reason why I, a doctor by profession, am thinking like this is because the surgery is so difficult right now.
Even though the bleeding is so severe that it is gushing out, it is difficult to come to your senses because the opponent is the heart.
Well… … it might be a lot easier if we widened the incision gap further, but to widen it any further than it is now, we’d have to cut the ribs.
That means you have to bring a saw.
No, I have Liston, so I guess I just have to give ‘orders’… … .
‘It’s not like there’s some kind of omnipotent genie.’
If you say, ‘You cut it earlier, so now it’s time to put the bone back together,’ what will Liston say?
-Okay, patient. From now on, please refrain from masturbating.
It’s obvious this is going to be a mess.
It was a time when people believed that since bones were white and semen was white, if you just didn’t masturbate, your bones would stick together.
There are even those who take dark routes to obtain other people’s semen and eat it… … and do things that are too scary to even mention.
The reason I specifically say ‘some’ is because there are several incidents that I know of.
For one reason or another, I was having a hard time sewing it up, so I couldn’t help but be happy when Liston said he had a good idea.
It’s not just any guy, it’s Liston.
Whatever it is, he is smarter than me.
“What is it?”
“Look at him now. He’s covering his wound with his hand.”
“Yes, that’s right. Because it bleeds.”
“Can’t you just sew it up like that?”
“yes?”
Are you going to sew me up with my hand and then cut off my hand and leave?
The moment I was about to think that I was speaking too carelessly about someone else’s hands…
I remembered a patient who came in with a knife in his neck, and a CT scan showed that the tip of the knife had already pierced his carotid artery.
The trauma surgeons recalled that day.
The fear of an arterial rupture.
-What is this… …Just touch it.
Of course, the neck is a very complicated anatomy, and since there are otolaryngologists, and head and neck surgeons in particular, who are obsessed with neck issues, I left it to them.
The culprit had stabbed him in the stomach and then stabbed him in the neck, so we went in together to treat the wound on his stomach. But since I had never seen a ruptured carotid artery before, I couldn’t help but glance at it.
If it were me, I would have gotten in a lot of trouble with the professor, but fortunately, the wound on my stomach wasn’t that serious, so the professor was also like that.
It seemed like the crazy guy was a total beginner when he was poking people in the stomach like a comic book character, but he had grown to a professional level when he was stabbing people in the neck.
The angle and depth at which it went in were such that I was certain that if I had pulled out this sword, I would have died within minutes, so that said it all.
-Whew… … You stabbed me like X… … .
-That’s right.
To be honest, until then, I had somewhat ignored ENT doctors.
They say that head and neck surgery is really tough… … but it’s not that tough… … ?
However, the surgery that Professor Baek Jeong-hwan and his classmate (now a web novel writer) showed me that day was pretty good, even to me, who was an aspiring trauma surgeon and had experience with difficult surgeries.
-Intern, grab the knife. If you miss this, you and the patient will both die.
-yes yes.
First of all, the degree of obstruction was at a surgical level.
-Nakjun, you know? If he pulls out, block it with your hand.
-yes!
-Just stay still even if the needle grazes you.
-yes!
-Oh, did you get vaccinated for hepatitis?
-yes.
-Do you have type C or AIDS, patient?
-That… …isn’t out yet.
-Let’s hope it doesn’t happen. Pray. Say it, Father, Pastor.
-yes?
No, it was more than surgery.
I admit, they were real doctors at that time.
crazy…….
Isn’t that one of the reasons why trauma surgery became a avoided department?
Unlike general surgery, you have no choice but to go in without undergoing tests, and the problem is that not all of these tests are for the safety of the patient, but also for the safety of the medical staff.
The high risk of accidents in trauma surgery includes not only the risk of death for the patient, but also the risk of infection for the medical staff.
“Brother. I’m scared.”
At least it was the 21st century.
That too, in South Korea.
America is… … .
Surprisingly, if the test results don’t come out, you won’t be able to have surgery, but that can’t be helped.
The risk of various infectious diseases, including AIDS, is much higher there than in our country.
Anyway, I’m saying that our country is a little better, but what about 19th century London?
‘Syphilis is almost 50%… … and if you include all the other diseases… … damn it.’
This place is just a hotbed of disease.
In the meantime, you want me to poke your finger with a needle?
No, it won’t work.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking. There’s no danger. Especially not to you.”
“I know you’re good at it, hyung… … but if you make a mistake even once, I’ll get stabbed, right? Then, the miasma in this patient… … .”
“I told you there’s no reason for you to get stabbed.”
“What… … .”
“Just block it with your finger. Why are you so scared? Become a doctor.”
“What does being a doctor have to do with fear!”
“That’s not for you to say. Look at the disciples. Look at them piercing the pepper, pulling out the teeth, look at Joseph’s hands. He experimented with making disinfectant himself, and what? His hands are just red.”
“under.”
I looked back at my disciples with a sigh and saw that not a single one of them had come forward for me.
No, rather than coming forward, I felt like he was just staring at me.
Especially Alfred.
I saved your life twice… … ?
Isn’t that why you became my dog…?
“Stop talking and just point your finger.”
“ah.”
I think this is how my friend felt.
The only difference is that he is a pastor’s son, so he is a silver spoon in the mouth when it comes to Christianity, whereas I am…
I didn’t have parents, so I had no spoon anywhere.
Shit.
Are you angry?
“ego…….”
“eww.”
But that’s just how life is.
There was a celebrity on TV who said that his dream was to have a lot of money and have no one know him.
Those who have not inherited anything or have not much of it cannot do that.
It is an elegant path that only those who make money through inheritance, the time-honored and most powerful method, can take.
Having walked a rough path since my previous life, I gave up and blocked the small hole in my heart with my finger.
“after.”
Liston began to sew, taking advantage of the greatly improved vision he had gained from the absence of blood seeping out.
Contrary to my expectations, the needle circled around my finger instead of directly landing under it.
At first I was like, what is this?
‘Is it because you feel sorry for me?’
I had that thought for a moment, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
There’s no way that’s possible.
Liston wasn’t the kind of person to do that.
Isn’t he the kind of guy who can do anything if he thinks it will help medicine?
However, that doesn’t mean he was the type of person to do useless things.
It’s either you save someone or you cause an accident, that’s what it’s all about.
‘Ah… … No way… … .’
As Liston’s sewing continued, it became clear what this gentleman was up to.
I got goosebumps.
That’s because I was making the entrance to the pocket.
If you go around the wound and put sweat in it and pull it… … .
Wouldn’t that wound close on its own?
If you tie the thread then it will be over.
“her.”
“As expected of you. You know how to recognize things.”
“What did you think of this?”
“It’s nothing. Remember that guy who got stabbed before? Bae.”
“Oh, I remember. He died. The other person died too.”
“I had a silly thought at the time. I thought that if the entire stomach was made of blood vessels, I could have survived if I did this.”
“ah…….”
The patient’s abdominal cavity was actually in a similar condition to a blood vessel.
If the definition of a blood vessel is a space filled with blood, then so be it.
My stomach was already full of blood due to internal bleeding.
At times like that, I pulled out my sword and sewed the stomach skin like this.
Because death is already certain just by the blood flowing out from inside.
“I thought there would be no use for it in the future. There’s no blood vessel big enough to be sewn around like this.”
“That’s true.”
The aorta shouldn’t be like this either.
If you sew it like a pocket and pull on it, it’ll probably all rip.
This method can only be used on one organ, the heart, which is made of strong, tough muscle and is full of blood.
Oh my… … .
How did this… … ?
“Okay, now take your hands off me.”
“yes.”
I was amazed and at the same time took my hand away.
There was no blood oozing out.
This was because Liston had just pulled the string and closed the opening of the pocket he had just created.
“phew.”
Liston, relieved that his prediction had come true, quickly tied a knot with the two ends of thread he had just pulled, using the tie method I had shown him.
Then, soon, it became a state where there was no bleeding even without pulling.
oh my god…….
This is how it works.
“Brother… … You’re amazing.”
“No, what. You’ve always been the only one doing this, but you have to be active even at times like this.”
Liston says it like it’s nothing special, but as someone who has been solving problems using the correct answer from the future, I could never perceive it as nothing special.
‘If you grow a little more, you won’t need me, hyung?’
It might be a bit of an overstatement, but I even had this thought.
what…….
Not yet.
No matter how much of a dream team is formed, without me, it would still be nothing more than the best team of 19th century doctors.
“Close the rest together.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Anyway, we closed the wound on his chest and the incision we made afterwards all at once.
“Your blood pressure is 110 over 70! It’s gone up a lot.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Blood pressure is such a confusing indicator.”
I was feeling reassured by the nightingale, but Liston’s words that followed immediately made me feel uneasy again.
In fact, this was because it had not yet been established what blood pressure was normal.
Besides, at this time, these guys were very good at telling me what they wanted to hear.
Well… … This is an issue that doesn’t really get better even in the 21st century… … .
The problem is that even those who call themselves scholars are doing this.
-Your blood pressure is high! Get rid of it! You have to lower it to survive!
In some places, they just quote what I said at the obesity center and say that they will lower your blood pressure unconditionally.
Using a very extreme method… … .
Of course, people die.
-Your blood pressure is high! It’s okay! This is normal! The higher the better. This is what happens when you get older!
The other side is reassuring the patient by using the same words I used when I was seeing an emergency patient.
This one is relatively low.
Because we’re not actively killing people.
Of course, in the long run, both are problematic.
“Haa… … I guess you can’t do it without me.”
“suddenly?”
In the end, the Ubermensch of this era only came to the conclusion that the country was the country.
