Chapter 174

These days, Xiao Chenguang is in the hospital, and it feels like he is on vacation.

Or paid vacation.

The director of the outpatient department, who had always been thinking about his expert number, never asked him to add his number again.

He doesn't have to worry about Corey's affairs, big or small, because Wang Jingang is busy.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Xiao Chenguang felt a little unreal.

Is this the day to lie down?

He suddenly felt like he wanted to be a salted fish.

While he was recuperating, he went to the small intensive care unit. Dr. Li Cheng was lying on the hospital bed, and the tube in his mouth had been removed.

Although it was still difficult to open his mouth to speak, when he saw Xiao Chenguang arriving, he waved excitedly as a greeting.

After he woke up, he heard from his colleagues that he was able to escape death this time thanks to Xiao Chenguang's presence.

If it weren't for his on-the-spot rescue and subsequent surgery, Li Cheng probably wouldn't have survived the surgery.

Even Director Xia, who had been at the bedside to check the reconstruction of his trachea, said so.

The operation was so difficult that even he was not sure it would make Li Cheng step down.

And Xiao Chenguang did all this.

In addition to gratitude, I am still thankful.

"Take good care of it and it will be fine."

Xiao Chenguang's words were like a spring breeze and made people feel warm.

After telling Li Cheng some precautions, Xiao Chenguang looked at the other patients.

At this time, the entire small intensive care unit and all four beds were occupied.

Three of the patients are related to Xiao Chenguang.

In addition to Li Cheng, who had just greeted him, the instructor was also sitting on the hospital bed at the moment.

His body is as straight as a pine and cypress, and even if he is sick, he still has a military aura.

Inhale, exhale, over and over again, taking deep breaths.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chenguang knew that he was exercising his lung function.

After all, after the operation, the dual effects of trauma and anesthesia can easily cause postoperative atelectasis.

Taking deep breaths, curling your lips, or even blowing up a balloon can exercise your lungs and play a role in rehabilitation.

"Hello, Director Xiao."

The instructor had noticed Xiao Chenguang the moment he came to the intensive care unit.

After all, he was born in the military, and even when he became a firefighter, his investigative skills were never lost.

"What's wrong? It looks much better."

Xiao Chenguang walked to his bedside, holding a stethoscope as usual, and checked the instructor's body.

The drainage tube on the body has basically been removed. Now, except that there is still some fluid in the lungs and the function is a little bit poor, there is nothing serious.

This actually made Xiao Chenguang a little surprised.

There is nothing to say about the physical fitness of soldiers. Falling from a height and impact injuries were so serious, but they recovered in just a few days. It is really surprising.

"Thanks to Director Xiao's surgery, I was able to recover so quickly."

The instructor seemed very humble. Yang Chuang admired Xiao Chenguang from the bottom of his heart for Xiao Chenguang, who was a few years younger than him.

Without him, he might not have the chance to see his wife and children again.

Of course, there was more than just this reason for admiration. The patient with severe burns in the bed next to him was said to have been saved by Xiao Chenguang.

The burn area is all over the body. According to the instructor's many years of experience, most of these injured people will not be able to get out of the fire scene.

But now, Xiao Chenguang was able to save his life and make him better through treatment. This ability is indeed admirable.

Xiao Chenguang was chatting with the instructor for a few words, and his eyes turned to the burn patient next door.

Compared with the other three people in the intensive care unit, he was the most seriously injured and had the hardest time recovering.

"Director Xiao, you are here."

Wang Jia, who was guarding the bed, quickly stood up and found a chair for Xiao Chenguang.

"Are you taking care of him today?"

Xiao Chenguang waved his hand, indicating to stand.

"Yes, Director Xiao, this patient is too serious. It can be said that he is the most serious patient in the hospital. Therefore, one-on-one special care has been specially arranged for us to guard him 24 hours a day to ensure his life safety."

Wang Jia explained.

In fact, this is understandable.

The intensive care unit is originally a gathering place for patients with difficult and severe diseases.

In addition to internal medicine and surgery, the most important comprehensive capabilities of a hospital are the emergency room and intensive care unit.

They are doing the most tiring and dirty work and doing thrilling treatment. They have to be in fear and high tension every day. It is really not easy.

At this moment, Wang Jia has been staying at the bedside of the wounded for 12 hours, and she can clearly feel her fatigue.

These 12 hours are more than just sitting.

Hourly vital records, accurate medication administration to the minute, and constant attention to patient emotional changes.

Anyway, we have to take care of eating, drinking, and diarrhea, and we also have to take care of treating illnesses and saving lives.

At this time, the wounded person smelled of burn ointment, just like the smell of Yunnan Baiyao used in later generations.

Looking at the gauze that had just been replaced, it contained iodophor and bactericidal and antibacterial ointment.

These were applied to the wounded in accordance with Xiao Chenguang's previous request.

In fact, burn patients are said to be easy to treat, but those are the only treatment options anyway, and they are all generally accepted, as if they are engraved in Xiao Chenguang's mind.

Rehydration, prevention of infection, and later skin grafting and skin replacement.

But the difficulty is that the pain the patient has to go through is even more difficult than the eighty-one hardships faced by the four masters and disciples in Journey to the West.

"Wang Jia, do you have enough staff in the custody room?"

After seeing that the wounded man was sedated and already asleep, no one disturbed Xiao Chenguang.

“It’s not enough, but what can I do? No one comes.”

Wang Jia smiled bitterly.

It is said that the ICU trains people, and the nurses who leave are very capable, even better than ordinary doctors.

She had this idea at the beginning, and took the initiative to come to the ICU as soon as she started working.

But after working for a few years, her ability has improved, her head has become bald, and her face is sallow. The green apple that was originally young and beautiful has directly become a rotten apple.

At 25, she has never had a partner. It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she doesn’t have time.

“This is indeed a problem.”

Xiao Chenguang can understand Wang Jia’s suffering. As a surgeon, he has to go to the ICU for a few days to observe after many complex level 4 operations.

So he often deals with them, and naturally, he is familiar with their environment.

At present, the small ICU is indeed too small.

The small venue, few beds, and insufficient staff are all departments that need to be vigorously developed, just like the emergency department.

Because of the upcoming tertiary hospital review, Xiao Chenguang had the experience of the past and knew that these two places were the departments that the expert group must check.

It was also because of this that when the hospital review details were announced a few months later, many hospitals were caught off guard.

Moreover, if the general surgery department wants to expand and develop, the number of surgeries in the future will definitely not be small.

The number of patients undergoing major surgeries will also increase. Now there are only four beds in the intensive care unit, which will definitely not meet Xiao Chenguang's surgical needs.

It seems that I have to ask the hospital to increase the funding for the emergency department and intensive care unit appropriately when I have time.

Of course, Xiao Chenguang only thought about these things in his mind. With his current appointment, he is only the deputy director of the general surgery department.

As for the fact that there is no director for the emergency department and the small intensive care unit, although the hospital has promised, before the appointment letter comes down, all this has nothing to do with Xiao Chenguang.

Just as he was thinking about it, the BP machine in his pocket suddenly rang.

The message came from Wang Jingang.

After seeing the above information, Xiao Chenguang was stunned and a little surprised.

"Professor Zhuang, are you going to be discharged from the hospital?"
