Chapter 490: Chapter 217: Electrosurgical Sensing Ability, Changes Brought by Level 3 Anesthesia Technique_2

Additionally, this tumor would press against his airway while he slept, causing breathing difficulties.

He couldn’t sleep on his side; he could only sleep lying flat on his back.

Tossing and turning unconsciously at night could pose a huge danger to him.

Even when the young man entered the operating room, he still wore a mask. The tumor had rendered his appearance incredibly grotesque and fierce, giving rise to severe inferiority complex within him.

"Doctor, after the surgery, will my face be able to return to normal?"

The young man asked Doctor Liu, full of hope.

"It will mostly return to normal, at least much better than it is now. However, this facial lipoma of yours is extremely large, so the surgery carries very high risk. There’s a chance it could bring about a series of complications, and it might even be life-threatening. You need to be mentally prepared for that,"

Doctor Liu said gravely.

Under ordinary circumstances, the removal of superficial lipomas is considered a minor Level 1 surgery.

Many junior surgical resident doctors are especially fond of encountering these types of patients. Because they can practice on them.

The difficulty of removing superficial lipomas is lower, and the risks aren’t substantial.

Senior doctors are also happy to leave such training opportunities to the fledglings under their wing.

However, the surgery at hand is a highly difficult Level 3 major operation, nearly approaching Level 4.

Ordinary Associate Chief Physicians don’t dare to take the lead in such surgeries. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Doctor Liu is among the most seasoned Associate Chief Physicians with extremely rich surgical experience and very high surgical skills.

Although he’s titled as an Associate Chief Physician, his surgical skills are genuinely at the Director Level.

"This tumor has been with me since I was young. Because my family was poor, I never had it treated. Now I’ve fallen for a girl, and she has feelings for me too. But once her family found out about my condition, they firmly opposed her being with me. Over the years, I haven’t earned much money, and it’s only through the help of the media and donations from kind-hearted people that I’ve had the chance to undergo this surgery. No matter how great the risks of the surgery are, I am willing to try. Living like this now is just pain; it’s worse than death,"

The young man’s narration deeply moved the doctors and nurses who listened.

How many people’s greatest wish is merely to be an ordinary person—to live a normal life like everyone else.

Physical disabilities, certain bodily imperfections, or suffering from incurable chronic diseases—all make patients live in agony. They have to face various forms of discrimination, ridicule, and even bullying from society.

Pursuing education, looking for a job, dating—these are all much harder for them than for the average person.

With the constant advancement of medical science and increasingly sophisticated technology, the means of resolving these patients’ physical defects or diseases are also gradually expanding.

People who have lost their legs, if it’s a low-level amputation, can be fitted with prosthetic limbs.

After long periods of training, they are able to walk like normal people or use prosthetics to pick up objects.

Not everyone is born into a life without worries about food and clothing.

Like this young man, due to his poor family background, if it wasn’t for the media reporters helping him by reporting his story, he might never have had the chance to change his fate in his entire life.

"Since you have made up your mind, let’s start the surgery! We, the doctors, will definitely do our utmost to treat you,"

Doctor Liu asked the patient to lie down properly on the operating table.

The anesthetist prepared to perform general anesthesia on the patient.

Zhou Can was only one Experience Point away from advancing to Level 3 Anesthesia Technique, so this was a great opportunity. He immediately went over to help.

This surgery was indeed a Level 3 operation, but the anesthetist, Doctor Feng, Zhou Can’s half mentor who was silent and serious, was involved.

This alone illustrated the risky nature of this operation.

Anesthesia surgeries requiring Doctor Feng personally usually have particularly high risks.

"Lipomas have never been a simple disease; they are generally closely related to organs. During anesthesia, we must consider multiple risks that may arise during surgery. For instance, accidents in anesthesia leading to respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest, damage to nearby major blood vessels during surgery that results in severe blood loss, life-threatening issues, and so on,"

Doctor Feng imparted highly practical knowledge to him.

A truly skilled anesthetist, like Doctor Feng, is not only proficient in their job but can also comprehensively anticipate the various possible accidents that might happen to a patient during surgery.

Even Dr. Guan’s expertise falls far short of Doctor Feng’s level.

In anesthesia surgery, Dr. Guan can only predict some common surgical risks.

He is nowhere near as sophisticated as Doctor Feng, who has profound insights for any major surgery and can offer many highly practical pieces of knowledge, allowing Zhou Can to pre-empt various surgical risks during future operations.

He studied very diligently.

And he was also very diligent in helping out with tasks.

Before long, the preparations for intubation and establishing the extracorporeal circulation were all complete.

"Can I perform the anesthesia on the patient?"

"Hmm!"

Doctor Feng nodded slightly and grunted, which counted as an agreement.

Zhou Can was already accustomed to his ’unique’ style of communication.

He immediately carefully administered inhalation general anesthesia to the patient.

Fortunately, there were no complications until the patient lost consciousness. There were no terrifying incidents like respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest during the anesthetic process.

[Anesthesia Technique Experience Points +1.]
