“Are we going to issue the anaesthesia ourselves?” The Brazilian nurse who was present was about thirty years old. She was a brunette native to the area. She suggested at the moment in a very natural manner.
Ling Ran answered naturally, “I don’t know how to do that.”
“What should we do, then?” The nurse heard Selena’s interpretation and looked at the patient on the operating table stupidly.
The patient was in so much pain that he was sweating, but now, he was sweating even more, “Can you… send me outside for surgery?”
“You can’t go out within twelve hours,” the nurse answered in a straightforward manner.
Unless the storm stopped now, if they waited a few more hours, the sun would set. At that time, even if there was a truck going out, the car will easily get stuck in the mud in such a wet weather and the world was dark outside.
The patient groaned in pain and said, “Give me some painkillers again.”
Ling Ran shook his head slightly. “Go and get me a book on anesthesia.”
“What do you mean?” The nurse was stunned.
“We’ll flip through a book and do it according to what they suggested.” Ling Ran’s suggestion was not unusual. In fact, many doctors spent the early years of their careers flipping through books.
Even now, doctors in Australia were famed for being book flippers. Of course, now that Google was available, they can also Google their answers. They were better than patients who Googled their symptoms because they can filter out obvious mistakes and give advanced plans.
There were millions of illnesses in the world. For young doctors, the cost of memorizing a medical book was extremely large. Australian doctors were unwilling to memorize day and night, so flipping books had become the mainstream.
Doctors in Brazil… clearly also flipped books.
The nurse let out a sigh of relief and went out quickly to find the book.
When the patient watched the nurse leave, he could only cry in pain on the operating table.
As he raised his head, the patient saw Ling Ran’s arms waving in front of his chest, as if he was opening something.
He could not help but feel depressed. The injury was already bad enough. When he was sent to the hospital, the doctor even ran away. It was so hard to come by another surgeon, but now, they could not find an anesthetist. As of right then, the nurse ran out to find a book to give to the surgeon to learn and perform on the spot, and the surgeon in front of him seemed to be off in his head.
“Don’t move.” A Basic Treasure Chest appeared in front of Ling Ran. He reminded the patient to prevent him from affecting him when he opened the treasure chest.
The patient was in pain and discomfort, and his attitude was not much better. He grunted and said, “It doesn’t matter what I do, the surgery can’t be done anyway.”
“You’re blocking his sight.” Selena, who was the interpreter, explained back and forth.
After explaining, Selena felt a little puzzled.
The patient let out a miserable laughter as he looked at the empty operating theater, “A crazy surgeon is preparing to self-study anesthesia… What a bad time for me to be injured…”
Selena secretly felt what the patient said made sense. Although Ling Ran was handsome, being handsome could not be treated as a medical skill, or rather, it was not very useful as a medical skill…
“What did the patient say?” Ling Ran deliberately asked. After all, he was a seriously injured patient, and his main complaint should be paid attention to.
Selena let out a sound of acknowledgement and said, “He’s a little uncomfortable.”
Ling Ran glanced at the patient’s face and said, “If it hurts, give him painkillers, um… wait a minute, let the nurse take a look at him.”
After speaking, Ling Ran continued to open the Treasure Chest.
He had saved a lot of Basic Treasure Chests. His original plan was that he wanted to get a more complete number, such as 1,112 or 1,113.
However, the current conditions did not allow it, and Ling Ran had to open all the remaining 820 Basic Treasure Chests.
There was a sea of blue light in front of him.
Ling Ran first collected all the Energy Serums.
Then, he collected fifty foot anatomical dissection experience, forty abdominal anatomical dissection experience, thirty lower limb anatomical dissection experience, forty chest anatomical dissection experience, and twenty brain anatomical dissection experience. The last two of which were new.
Because of it, there were only two books left in front of Ling Ran.
When he counted in all the anatomical experience he received, his skill acquisition rate was 5:1, and it had exceeded the average level of the skills Ling Ran acquired when he usually opened chests.
However, Ling Ran was more concerned about the skill book at the moment.
Ling Ran was thinking of anesthesia when he opened the Treasure Chests. Then, he waved his hand to open the skill book and saw the blue handwriting showing:
[Single Skill Book: Regional Infiltration Anesthesia (Master Level) ]
[Single Skill Book: Collaborative Anesthesia Care (Master Level) ]
Ling Ran could not help but became silent.
If they had to be classified into anesthesia, these two books were really about anesthesia.
However, Master Level Regional Infiltration Anesthesia… had too narrow of a range of use, and most of them can only be useful in the aesthetic industry.
Regional infiltration anesthesia was like performing a skin test on a patient’s skin. The needle would be inserted under the patient’s skin. The skin will be injected with some anesthetic drugs before the needle was drawn out, and the needle will be used to puncture the skin again to test the results… it would be much more painful than ordinary injections. It can be said that among the various anesthesia techniques, it had the least anesthetic properties.
As for the effect… It was not a problem to use for surgeries at the superficial level. It would be useful to remove a corn and ingrowing nails. It was also useful for cosmetic surgery such as double eyelid surgery. Regional infiltration anesthesia was also commonly used in stomatological surgery.
However, today’s occasion was not just a toothache.
In contrast, Collaboration of the Administration of Anesthesia between Nursing Care Providers was relatively useful, but it was not a technique directly used to give anesthesia, it was more toward the work of an anesthesia assistant and nurse. If Ling Ran were an anaesthetist resident doctor, he would very much welcome such skills now, however, Ling Ran was not.
“Doctor Ling.” When the nurse came back, she saw Ling Ran’s solemn expression and only called out to him softly.
She was not surprised that Ling Ran had such an expression. For a surgeon to not have an anaesthetist in the operating theater was really almost to the point of the apocalypse.
Because of this, the nurse looked at Ling Ran with some sympathy.
At such a critical time, the other doctors ran away. They may be condemned in the future, but more often than not, they would be forgotten. The only one who can be held accountable was Doctor Ling Ran who was still on the scene.
“Doctor Ling, I found several books on anesthesiology, as well as one written in Mandarin, but do you really need to read the book to perform the surgery?” The nurse had to confirm with Ling Ran again.
“Can you contact the outside world? Phone? Internet?” Ling Ran asked without holding any hope.
Phone signals were only made available through the availability of its base station, and a landline needed electrical wiring. The nurse shook her head with a confused expression.
“Then this is the only way for us to do this,” Ling Ran said as he took the books and began to flip through them, especially the Mandarin version of Anesthesiology. Reading it was not too laborious for him.
After all, Ling Ran also did some preliminary reading in school. At that time, he spent most of his time reading books or just lingering in the laboratory.
Public places had always been very noisy. Ling Ran did not like being surrounded by people and the feeling of having multiple people screaming in his ear.
“Let’s try it. Just use intravenous anesthesia.” Ling Ran felt that the difficulty of inhalation anaesthetics was slightly higher, let alone combined anesthesia.
The patient had no choice but to lie down, and his body was manipulated by Ling Ran at will. The nurse could only follow suit and inject the general anesthesia prescription selected by Ling Ran one by one.
Compared with the laryngeal mask airway anesthesia, simple intravenous anesthesia was just like an intravenous drip, but it was more dangerous.
But in the current environment, doing nothing will only be more dangerous.
