On the third day, the third round of competition began.
The third round is a three-day practical continuous surgery challenge. It performs operations on patients with various rare diseases, terminal illnesses, and severe diseases collected from all over the world. The team with the highest success rate in operating patients wins.
Some of these seriously ill patients come from poor families and cannot afford expensive treatment.
There are also people from well-off families, but they really can’t find a good doctor, so they come here to find doctors with superb medical skills to treat their illnesses.
After all, the doctors who can participate in the competition here are all the best among doctors.
In addition, if a patient is on the operating table or dies three days after the operation, that team will withdraw from the competition.
Let many families of seriously ill patients around the world feel confident and bold to sign up for the competition.
Even if they really die on the operating table, they accept their fate.
Even the best doctors in the world cannot cure their illnesses. What else can they do as ordinary people with serious illnesses besides accepting their fate?
After the team that successfully treats the most patients wins the third round of the competition, that team will then take the final round of internal competitive written examinations, and the person with the highest score in the examination will win the final championship.
Although the patients recruited are all seriously ill, the different diseases mean that the time required for surgery is also different.
Qiao Ran felt that she was one of the unlucky doctors. The patient she signed was a 78-year-old patient with intermediate and advanced brain cancer.
An old man wearing sterile hospital clothes walked over with the help of volunteers.
The grandfather's skin was dark and yellow, and his body was thin, but his head became big and swollen due to edema. It was in sharp contrast with his slender body, which made people feel a little frightened.
As soon as the old man came in, he knelt on the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Doctor, I don't want to have an operation. My grandson insists on signing me up and begging me to have an operation. Doctors, I beg you to let me live a few more years.
I am a farmer who makes a living by farming. My son's wife died in a car accident, my grandson also broke a hand in the car accident, and my grandson's wife has both legs disabled.
She is pregnant now, and it will be inconvenient to take care of her children in the future. If I don't help them for a few years, they will not be able to imagine their future life, so I cannot die. I beg you to cure my disease."
Qiao Ran's nose felt sore after listening to the old man's words.
For an old man who has lived in poverty and suffered a lot all his life, God has not been kind to him even when he is older.
"Grandpa, you have a filial and good grandson. Our doctors here are very professional and will do their best to cure your disease. Don't be afraid or worry." Qiao Ran helped the old man up, his voice was soft but firm.
typical.
If you hadn't seen the live broadcast, the old man would have looked at Qiao Ran's overly young face and wouldn't have believed that her medical skills were so good.
After watching the live broadcast of the competition and learning that the people drawn to treat him were from Qiao Ran's team, the volunteers were happy for him and said he was lucky.
Seeing the powerful look in Qiao Ran's eyes, the old man suddenly felt less afraid of surgery.
"Then I'll leave it to the doctors."
Qiao Ran helped the old man onto the operating table, looked at the detailed medical records that the old man had checked long ago, and discussed the surgical plan with several doctors.
Time was tight and the task was urgent. Qiao Ran quickly decided on the surgical plan. After some preparations, Qiao Ran took a scalpel and began to operate on the old man with the help of precision instruments.
As soon as she cracked open a corner of the old man's skull, thick yellow liquid flowed out quickly, which affected Qiao Ran's vision during the operation. However, she remained calm in the face of danger and treated him quickly and smoothly.
With the tacit help of Cheng Zhiyuan, after more than ten minutes of operation, the yellow liquid stopped flowing out, and the cancerous brain cells inside could be clearly seen.
Many small cancer tumors are densely attached to the cranial nerves and blood vessels. If they are removed carelessly, it will cause brain hypoxia and death.
The three doctors nearby looked at Qiao Ran's actions, with admiration in their eyes.
They didn't even dare to try this extremely delicate and dangerous operation.
If it weren't for Qiao Ran, they would have required half an hour to change patients when encountering this kind of surgical case.
This operation was so difficult that Qiao Ran took ten hours to complete. From ten o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, he did not drink a drop of water during the whole process.
Because the operation is too complicated, if you are distracted even a little, you may perform it improperly and endanger the patient's health.
The moment it was announced that the operation was successful, Qiao Ran felt that his legs were so tired that they were trembling, and his body fell back uncontrollably.
Cheng Zhiyuan quickly caught Qiao Ran who fell backwards.
"Dr. Qiao, you must be hungry. Drink some glucose." Ren Fan quickly handed a glass of glucose water to Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran drank a few sips of glucose water and felt much better, and together with everyone else, he pushed the old man into the intensive care unit that specializes in observing patients.
When Qiao Ran and his team came out, the door of a glass operating room not far away opened, and Mike's team also pushed the patient out.
"Isn't Dr. Joy striving for first place every time? Why did it take so long to complete an operation this time? Is it the real battle, and Dr. Joy, who is so empty, can't produce any real results?" Mike said sarcastically.
"What information do you have about Dr. Qiao? Didn't you come in so late yourself?" A doctor from Qiao Ran's team replied angrily.
"This is my second patient. Is there any problem if I come out now?" Mike said with a proud smile.
“Rather than winning the championship, what I value more is the success rate of treating diseases and saving lives. Although these patients have signed exemption contracts, I still have to respect my heart and perform the surgery to the best to ensure a foolproof success.
If, for the sake of the championship, you violate medical ethics and only pursue temporary speed, regardless of the possible recurrence of symptoms after surgery, then even if you win the championship, you will not have peace of mind in this life." Qiao Ran said in a cold voice.
"What are you talking about? I have always tried my best to ensure the safety of patients when performing surgeries. I did not violate medical ethics for the sake of the championship." Mike glared at Qiao Ran and retorted angrily.
"No, no, why is Doctor Mike so excited? Oh, do you feel chest tightness, asthma, difficulty breathing, and need to shout to breathe easier?" After Qiao Ran finished speaking, without waiting for Mike to answer, he left from front of him.
Mike looked at Qiao Ran's back. He didn't know if it was because of her words or because of his admiration in his heart, but he suddenly felt that it was really difficult to breathe.
After sending the old man to the intensive care unit, Qiao Ran and Cheng Zhiyuan had a simple dinner and continued to draw lots for surgery.
The patients drawn this time were the youngest patients in the competition, a pair of conjoined twins who were only 3 years old.
Because the conjoined body is in a dangerous position, no doctor dares to perform this separation operation, and their parents are unable to pay the high cost of the operation.
It has only been 3 years since I signed up to be a patient in this competition, hoping that there would be a doctor here to successfully separate the child.
Looking at the two cute children in front of him, Cheng Zhiyuan was about to cry. He said that he would perform the operation himself and let Qiao Ran take a rest.
But after looking at the medical records, it turned out that he was simply not qualified for this extremely difficult operation.
"Let's change people and try again!" Cheng Zhiyuan looked at Qiao Ran and asked.
Before Qiao Ran could answer, the little girl choked with sobs and cried: "Sister Miracle Doctor, please don't replace me and my brother. Many people have already replaced us.
Mom said that if you, the miracle doctor, don’t operate on us, we will die before we are five years old.
I don’t want my brother to die. I want my brother to live well. Just do the surgery to save my brother and don’t worry about my life or death. I beg you.”
Looking at the little girl wearing a red princess gauze dress in front of her, begging for herself with a pair of big innocent eyes, Qiao Ran felt as if her heart was being pulled by an invisible hand, and the pain made it difficult to breathe.
A 3-year-old child with a rare deformity said such kind and loving words, how could she be willing to reject her?
It's just that after undergoing a very difficult and long-term operation, it's impossible to win the championship.
