Chapter 1049: Chapter 861: In all the martial arts, speed is unmatched - Part 2

Director Long and Director Wen now feel that this meal was more than worth it. Yang Ping not only helped with several surgeries but also assisted with emergency surgeries in the middle of the night, crucially providing young doctors with a lot of insight.

They couldn’t help but sigh, how wonderful it would be to have such a doctor in their own department. Indeed, the Academician has an eye for talent, having managed to recruit such an impressive young man.

Director Xu was concluding the procedure on stage. Today’s surgery was a lesson for him. Whether it was the speed of the surgery or the overall planning and grasp of details, it was nearly impeccable, representing a pinnacle in emergency surgery.

Of course, before this, Director Xu had not thought highly of the ceiling in emergency surgery. Often, he felt it was within reach and sometimes, in high spirits, he thought he had already touched the ceiling. But today, he realized the ceiling was higher than he had imagined.

The firefighter had been waiting outside the operating room for a long time, with no movement inside, and he didn’t dare to enter. The doctor who was accompanying him had already entered to observe the surgery.

So, he knocked on the door and asked, "Do you still need my help?".

Only now did Director Xu remember that a firefighter was waiting outside with cutting tools. He immediately said, "Thank you, you’ve worked hard," and then asked a doctor to escort the firefighter out.

The firefighter packed his gear and, accompanied by the doctor, left the operating room. But not a single doctor inside the operating room left. Even though the surgery was nearing its end, they remained, reluctant to depart.

"Just now, during the thoracolumbar burst fracture surgery, I noticed there wasn’t much bleeding. Is there a special technique?"

Song Yun had been paying special attention to orthopedic surgeries, particularly spine surgeries. He noticed that when Yang Ping was removing the vertebrae during the thoracolumbar burst fracture surgery, there was very little bleeding. Normally, removing vertebrae would result in significant blood loss, sometimes affecting blood pressure.

"Apart from high-level hemostasis, there is no greater skill in martial arts than speed," Professor Liang answered for Yang Ping.

Indeed, surgery is not about speed for the sake of speed, but under the premise of ensuring surgical quality, it’s about minimizing the duration to lessen bleeding and reduce trauma to the patient.

"How can surgical speed be increased?" one of the doctors asked.

Professor Liang once again answered on behalf of Yang Ping: "Practice makes perfect! Anatomy knowledge must be familiar, basic surgical skills must be familiar, and surgical operations must be familiar."

Professor Liang felt it was better for him to answer this question in an instructive manner. He took this opportunity to underscore to the young doctors the importance of being "proficient."

Proficiency has no limits. For instance, in anatomy, it requires continuous review, repeated study, ensuring that the entire anatomy book and diagram is imprinted in the mind.

In fact, Yang Ping did exactly that. The difference was that he had ample time and opportunities to study anatomy and practice dissections in the System Space.

His skilled surgical techniques were also acquired through devilishly rigorous training in the System Space. Each advancement came with great effort, in the isolated, lonely, and monotonous System Space, supported by his interest and trained over and over.

"Indeed, that is the case. Whether it’s theory or practice, it should become second nature in your mind. When it does, it becomes a part of you, and you’ll achieve the desired outcome with every move. It’s like typing; when the training reaches an extreme familiarity, whether it’s the brain or the muscles, memory forms. As soon as a thought occurs, the hand naturally and accurately reaches for the right key without needing to think."

Yang Ping shared his own insights, moved by the conversation. Although others might not have as much time and opportunity as he did, everyone could strive to be as proficient as possible within their capabilities.

"You see, this steel bar entered through the perineum. When we look at its path on the CT, we immediately combine it with anatomy—where it passed, what organs are in those places, what kind of tissues they belong to, which blood vessels and nerves are affected, and what can happen if these structures are damaged."

"Similarly, when stopping bleeding, as the suction device removes the blood and it flows out again, you need to identify where it’s coming from. You should be aware of the blood vessels in that area, their usual thickness, and what happens when they are severed."

"Master its rhythm; everything has a rhythm, surgeries and medical conditions both have rhythm."

In fact, Yang Ping wasn’t sure if what he was saying was correct, but he was willing to share his so-called insights with everyone. He was also willing to share his new concepts and techniques. He always believed that no matter how skillful a doctor is, they only have one pair of hands. Only by spreading medical knowledge can the public truly benefit.

These doctors weren’t just young doctors; Director Long and Director Wen were also among them, listening intently as Yang Ping shared his experiences.

"Regarding anomalous blood vessels, such as those supplying the pancreas which are quite unstable, how can I quickly and safely locate them? Especially when they rupture and bleed, or during tumor removal surgery, how can I quickly distinguish whether they are tumor’s blood vessels or the organ’s vessels?"

Director Long asked as if he were a student, feeling as if he had returned to his younger days when they used to discuss surgeries without any reservations.

"Actually, for locating and distinguishing anomalous blood vessels, the best method is the tracking method—what we often call ’following the vine to get the melon.’ Every blood vessel has an origin and a destination. If we grasp either end and trace it quickly, we can definitely find the other end. Once both ends are clear, the identity of the blood vessel becomes apparent."

"As for determining the location when an anomalous vessel ruptures, the bleeding from different locations and calibers of blood vessels is not the same; there are subtle differences. Moreover, we have imaging before surgery, which is like obtaining the patient’s anomalous vascular anatomy in advance, so the anomalies are no longer unfamiliar."

"For example, the bleeding vessel behind the pancreas that we just saw; look, it’s very clear on the CT scan. It’s just that we’ve not been so detailed in our observation of CT imagery, so we need to enhance the precision when reading images."

Yang Ping pointed at the vessel on the image as he spoke.

While everyone was chatting here, the surgery was drawing to a close. When it finished, Song Yun checked the time and saw it was already past six in the morning. Everyone finally dispersed, eager to snatch whatever hours of sleep they could.

Yang Ping, Song Yun, Kong Weiquan, and other young doctors from the ward usually stayed in the on-call room.

But who could think of sleep right now? Their minds were filled with scenes of the operation—the precise control of instruments with their fingers, multitasking, and the accurate and rapid hemostatic techniques—all displaying a highly sophisticated surgical artistry.

Xiehe Hospital’s treatment of Yang Ping was quite good. They provided him with 45 beds and all the entitlements of a directorial level, including his own private on-call room for rest.

The next day, Yang Ping had another day of surgeries. Throughout the day, the operating room was packed with people who came to observe his surgeries.

It was probably due to the sensational impact of the previous night’s emergency rescue that doctors from almost every department of surgery came by. There were many new faces, all there to see Yang Ping operate.

Kong Weiquan said that with so many people coming and going, the orderly conduct of surgeries was being seriously affected. If it got too bad, they might as well charge admission to see if people would still come.

Song Yun felt it was inappropriate to stop visitors from observing, but he acknowledged that controlling the flow of people to ensure normal surgical procedures was necessary. So, he appointed two doctors to act as guards at the door, controlling the number of people entering and the duration of their stay. Only after those in front had left were others allowed to enter.

Even so, the doctors were willing to queue and wait to observe Yang Ping perform surgery. That entire day, Yang Ping operated under the watchful eyes of the visiting doctors at Xiehe Hospital.

That evening, Director Long hosted a dinner for everyone again, but this time the night was uneventful with no emergency surgeries.

Yang Ping’s teaching assignment at Xiehe Hospital was completed within a few days. Before going to the airport, he made his rounds, visiting the coronary bypass infant, the patients with pancreatic cancer, and the victims of high falls in the ICU; they were all very stable after their operations.
