Chapter 125 Surgery at the Free Clinic
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, just listen to me. This is a minor surgery. I just need to make a small incision in the eyelid abscess, clean out the pus and tissue inside, and then sew a few stitches."
Chen Qi explained this, and the patients and their families understood it.
"Then doctor, go ahead and do the surgery. Just tell me how much it will cost, and we'll raise the money right away."
"It doesn't cost anything. You're lucky. Today we have a free clinic."
"Hey, you don't need any money. He is such a good doctor!"
"Yes, yes, the doctors at the People's Hospital have good medical ethics, unlike the doctors at the commune health center, who have poor attitudes and even worse standards."
"That's right!"
The doctors at the commune health center next to them all had dark faces. If there weren't too many people, they would have to scold their mothers.
Chen Qi waved to Lan Lijuan: "Lijuan, come here and be my assistant."
Lan Lijuan has already interned in internal medicine, and Chen Qi was originally going to do a rotation in internal medicine, but the surgery department refused to let her go, and the teaching teachers all needed this free labor force, so they stayed.
"Hey, here we come."
The two have now cooperated very well. For several emergency operations in the middle of the night, when no one was watching, Chen Qi was the surgeon, with Lan Lijuan as his assistant. (She was determined not to perform the surgery during the day)
Lan Lijuan ran over and took a look. She was a little surprised to see these surgical instruments:
"Squad leader Chen, where did you get all these instruments? Have they been sterilized?"
"They are all clean, feel free to use them. I brought them from the hospital when I came out, and I greeted the head nurse in the operating room."
Lan Lijuan didn't suspect anything, so she followed Chen Qi in putting on gloves, arranging the instruments and threading the surgical needles and threads.
Chen Qi didn't waste any words. After disinfection, he took out the scalpel and started to take action.
When the people in the mountains heard that a doctor was going to perform an operation here, they gathered around on three floors to watch the excitement, just like a Shao Opera Troupe performing.
The doctors from the commune health center were on a first-come-first-served basis and gathered in the inner circle, preparing to watch how this stye surgery was performed.
I saw Chen Qi making a slight cut with the tip of the scalpel, and pus flowed out immediately. Lan Lijuan immediately handed him a piece of sterile gauze and a viper to remove the pus and tissue. The two cooperated
Tacit understanding.
Chen Qi is also determined to teach these mountain doctors.
He has a good relationship with the doctors at Xingtang Commune Health Center and knows how difficult it is to be a rural doctor. He usually does not have the opportunity to further his studies. The level of medical care depends on the level of the master. It is only strange that the skills can be improved.
"Look, the operation for eyelid abscess is not very difficult. The difficulty lies in two points. The first is that the disinfection work must be done well to prevent secondary infection and prevent inflammation from spreading into the orbit and brain, otherwise it will cause sponge
Sinus phlebitis and meningitis can be life-threatening.
The second difficulty is suturing. As you can see, spade needles are generally used for suturing. Thread numbers 5/0-10/0 are more commonly used. Of course, you can also choose No. 7 or No. 8 sutures. You must not use thick needles.
Or thick lines."
While Chen Qi introduced it, he quickly and skillfully sewed two stitches on the incision.
"Oh~~~~~"
The doctors at the health center nodded one after another, as if they had suddenly understood, as if they all understood.
In fact, Chen Qi understands that if his brain is good but his hands are not good at most, he still won't be able to perform similar surgeries next time.
"Sister, the operation is over. You are very brave. You didn't even complain about pain. Go back and take some anti-inflammatory medicine. You can take this alcohol cotton and disinfect it every day. Come back in 5 days and I will remove the stitches for you."
"Is this good?"
The patients and their families were very surprised, and then they were full of thanks and kind words, and the patients behind them couldn't wait.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's my turn, doctor, tell me, what is this thing of mine? It was there last year, and now it's getting bigger and bigger. You see, it's hard for me to bend my hands, and it's very troublesome to do farm work."
."
The speaker was a middle-aged man. He stretched out his wrist, and there was a bulge the size of a quail egg in the skin on the inside of his wrist.
When Chen Qi touched it casually, he could feel a round mass with smooth appearance and clear boundaries. The surface skin could be pushed and there was no adhesion.
He pressed hard: "Does it hurt?"
The patient nodded: "It hurts a little, but not very painful. Doctor, what is this? Does it matter?"
"This is called a ganglion cyst. You don't know what causes it even if I tell you, but this disease is easy to treat. Just perform a small surgery to remove it."
"Then let's cut it off. Doctor, tell me how much it will cost. I'll ask my mother-in-law to get it together."
The people in the mountains are generous and don't ask about the reason, the process, or the price. They just say "just cut it" and give you 100% trust.
What can Chen Qi say? I just said it was free, of course it can only be free to the end.
"Brother, if you don't charge us any money, just come back and get us some pheasants and hares so that we can improve our food."
If you ask a mountain man for money, his family will be able to spare a few dollars, but if you ask for any game, it’s just a matter of one sentence.
"Okay, doctor, don't worry, come to our crossroad, and I'll make sure your mouth is full of food before you go back."
As soon as these words came out, the people watching nearby also started to cheer: "That's it, doctors, don't worry, nothing else. I guarantee you can eat as much delicacies and game as you want?"
(The pheasants and hares in the mountains began to tremble)
Chen Qi is not polite either. After all, he paid for his labor and medicines, so it is not too much to get some worthless game.
"Lijuan, prepare the instruments for cyst removal. I'll give you anesthesia first."
Lan Lijuan nodded, opened the sterilization bag quickly, and took out all the medical instruments needed for the operation. However, she had a little doubt in her heart. It seemed that the surgical instruments this time were more refined and smoother in terms of quality and materials.
How did she know that these were medical devices from decades later?
Chen Qi injected a ring of lidocaine around the patient's cyst. After the anesthesia took effect, he took out his scalpel and made a quick cut on the surface, and blood flowed out.
The people around them felt chilled after looking at their backs, feeling that these doctors were really "killing without blinking an eye" and were so ruthless that they dared to cut open human flesh.
After seeing this, many female comrades were so frightened that they covered their eyes with their hands, thinking it was too cruel.
Chen Qi didn't care what the people around him said, he just clamped the bleeding points with a hemostat and immediately controlled the bleeding points.
Then he quickly separated the entire cyst with tissue forceps, placed it on a plate, sterilized it, and sewed the needles. The entire operation was quickly completed in less than 15 minutes, leaving everyone around him stunned.

"Doctor, is this okay? Why doesn't it hurt?"
"You said it doesn't hurt. Didn't I give you an anesthetic?"
"Okay, okay, thank you so much. What a miracle doctor. In just a short time, I have been able to solve my two-year trouble. Thank you so much."
