Chapter 57 Facing Death

[Hidden task: Complete the two-star surgery (successful) within three days, the cumulative personal contribution reaches 150, task reward: 1 blurred and old photo]

Current task cumulative contribution: 0, remaining time: 71:59:59]

Gu Jun looked at the description of this mission, and his heart skipped a beat. A blurry and old photo? What picture?

The system has its operating rules. Common tasks give medicines, which seem to have no phantom connection; difficult tasks give items that once had owners, and have phantom connections; the difficulty of hidden tasks seems to be similar to difficult tasks, but they are so rare. The things given should also have some kind of rarity.

"The maps and diaries I got before have no way to figure out who wrote it, whether it was written by humans, or whether it is something in this world."

Gu Jun pondered, his eyes gradually brightened: "But if it is a photo... If there are people in the photo, it is definitely an important clue. And the phantom triggered may be able to reveal something..."

150 contribution points, and 19 surgeries. Based on the 76 success rate of local anesthesia, maybe only about 15 surgeries will be successful.

Then to complete the task, he had to get an average of 10 contribution points per game, and his contribution point was 7 in the previous game.

This task is difficult, but it is not impossible. Gu Jun felt that he could fight hard, because the later the 19 operations, the surgeon Zhu and the others would be more tired. If his performance gets better and better, then more work will be given to him and his contribution will be higher.

As long as you perform well, you can fight for it! Gu Jun thought, he was about to start the liver explosion mode again.

But now, there is still a question in his mind, "Will I accelerate the progress of the disease of patients with the disease?"

If so, I'm afraid he will be taken away by the investigation department soon...

With this doubt and uneasiness in mind, Gu Jun followed Zhu Zhudao and the others to the front hall to rest for a while, then went to the washing and disinfection room to make preoperative preparations again, and then set off again. They used another operating room in the inner corridor, because the one just now needs to be tidied up.

The anesthetist Yan Haizhe had already arrived one step earlier, giving local anesthesia to patient No. 56 who was waiting for them on the operating bed over there.

What this young female patient is going to do is a right shoulder disarticulation operation. Her condition is slightly milder than that of patient No. 25, and she can keep her shoulder girdle, but she is crying loudly now.

"Attack to your positions. This time, we will try to complete the operation within two and a half hours." Chief Surgeon Zhu led the way again, and both Zeng Jianguo and Li Hualong agreed.

Gu Jun followed silently, holding his breath a little. When he arrived at the operating table, he saw that the female patient's eyes were not covered by the blindfold, so he looked at her deliberately, and her confused and painful eyes also looked at her...

One second, two seconds, three seconds, nothing happened.

The female patient didn't go into delirium, she was just crying and begging them to give her general anesthesia.

Gu Jun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, maybe after the illusion of offering sacrifices to the banyan tree was triggered, he lost that ability, maybe... just a coincidence?

But the exact feeling in his heart told him that it was not a coincidence, this matter could not be taken by chance, what was the reason?

What does "things in the banyan tree" refer to?

...

The pitch-black night enveloped the earth, and the thunderstorm that finally fell washed away the buildings of the medical department, and the thunder rumbled.

The surgery building was still brightly lit, and every floor in the twenty-story building was still busy.

In a simple and elegant office on the 19th floor, Team Leader Qiu is reporting some of today's situation to Mr. Qin who came to inspect.

"Mr. Qin, so far the entire surgery department has performed operations on 90 patients, 71 of them were successful, and 19 died...the success rate of 78 has increased."

Team Leader Qiu's tone did not mean to ask for credit, but it meant to be proud of the subordinates who were fighting on the front line of the operating table.

"Well, that's good." After hearing this, Professor Qin nodded slightly, "This batch of patients was treated early, and most of them should be able to be saved. But the situation has deteriorated a bit, and the laboratory is still far away from the results, so you have to Be prepared for something like this at any time.”

"It's always been." Team Leader Qiu said.

At this time, Professor Qin's old face seemed to be thinking about something, but his voice was still calm: "How are those interns doing today?"

"All good! The quality of this batch of interns is really high." Team leader Qiu praised immediately, "Sun Yuheng and Wang Ruoxiang are especially helpful, but Gu Jun is on another level." Team leader Qiu was very impressed by this Satisfied with everything, "Zhu Ruiwen reported to me that among the three operations they performed, Gu Jun was better than the last, he competed to do everything, let him do everything he could do, impeccable! It’s not like being a second assistant on the first day.”

"Okay..." Professor Qin nodded again, "That's good. The faster he grows, the sooner we can send him to the Mobile Task Force."

"Mr. Qin, it's too early to talk about the mobile task force." Team Leader Qiu said quickly, he still wanted to keep Gu Jun, and it would be best to keep him, "That kid hasn't even finished his training yet. , I think Lao Zhu exaggerated, Lao Zhu likes to exaggerate when he speaks."

Professor Qin didn't respond, but asked, "What do you think of the three patients whose condition suddenly deteriorated?"

"This should be a new clinical symptom of fig disease, and there is a possibility of sudden transformation in the second stage." Team leader Qiu thought about it. Today's situation is the scariest. Both patients No. 128 and No. 143 were not rescued, and only patient No. 25 in Zhu Ruiwen's group survived.

"The psychological group has a different opinion." Professor Qin

The wrinkles on the face deepened. "The psychological group believes that the patient was stimulated by the outside world and had a very intense stress response. The psychological impact on the physical body accelerated the development of the disease."

"It's possible..." Team Leader Qiu thought in this direction, "Then what do the psychological teams think are the stressors?"

Professor Qin stood up from the chair, walked to the window, and said in a deep voice: "They watched the surveillance video of these three patients when they were stressed, and found that there was a common situation, Gu Jun was there, and the three patients They all yelled at Gu Jun."

It was raining heavily outside, and the windows were crackling by the rain. I couldn't see how far away, and there was only darkness any farther away.

"Gu Jun may be their stressor, the 'thing in the banyan tree' that patients with the banyan tree disease call." Professor Qin said slowly.

"What?" Team Leader Qiu was taken aback when he heard that, "Gu Jun is a stressor? Why? Do they know him? Why are there still grievances?"

It's true that Team Leader Qiu is a bit inappropriate. The psychological team always does some fancy things, but nine times out of ten it's just nonsensical and fruitless messes.

"Gu Jun has come into contact with so many patients today, why should they be stressed? Mr. Qin, you also know that the psychological team doubts this and that all day long..."

"It's different this time. We don't even know what's involved in this matter." Professor Qin sighed, some information was not understood by Team Leader Qiu's level of authority, and said: "I haven't notified the investigation department about this situation. I It means to observe and observe again, and let the psychological team do some analysis. This matter is kept secret, you don’t want to disclose it to Gu Jun, let him have the operation at ease in the next few days.”

"Understood." Team leader Qiu nodded in agreement. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to believe such a thing.

...

In the second shoulder disarticulation surgery, Gu Jun's contribution was 7 again, and he only did some suturing work.

In the third hip disarticulation, Gu Jun's contribution rose to 9, and he was allowed to participate in some stretching operations.

In the fourth round of hemipelvic amputation, Gu Jun broke through to a contribution of 10 for the first time, because he participated in the work of separating the organization for the first time.

The fifth shoulder girdle disarticulation 12, the sixth double hip disarticulation 15...

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but in the seventh game, Gu Jun got the result of the operation with the word "failure" for the first time.

This is just a shoulder disarticulation, much less difficult than a double hip disarticulation. But that was an elderly female patient in her 70s. She was weak and could not bear the inhuman pain of local anesthesia and bone sawing. During the bone sawing process, the old man suffered a cardiac arrest. They tried their best, but failed to rescue him.

In this operation, Gu Jun did not accumulate the mission contribution, everyone could only swallow the bitter fruit, and some young nurses secretly cried.

It's not that they haven't seen life and death, it's just that the desperate wailing of the old man is constantly echoing in their ears and hearts.

Tears welled up in Gu Jun's eyes, and he wanted to hold back, but they finally fell down.

At this time, he felt strangely nostalgic about the dissection. No matter what kind of creature or species he was dissecting, it was already dead, and with the glaring cover of formalin, even when it was time to shed tears, he could shed them as much as he wanted.

"It's like this." Zhu Ruiwen comforted Gu Jun and Li Hualong, two rookies who were facing death for the first time, "We can't save everyone. Doctors have to face this kind of thing."

Gu Jun wiped away his tears immediately, there was not so much time for him to be sentimental, because the eighth operation was about to start again.

The second failure occurred in the thirteenth operation, this time for a boy less than 5 years old, double shoulder girdle separation. The atmosphere in the operating room was even heavier this time, and the passing of the old man could allow them to find the psychological support point of "not too young", but this time their life has just begun.

But this time, Gu Jun didn't shed any tears, and just cheered silently.

On the morning of the third day, their team performed the twentieth operation as scheduled, and the last operation was double hip disarticulation. This was the longest one they had done in the past few days, nearly 6 hours, but fortunately it ended successfully.

The 20 operations assigned to Zhu Ruiwen's team by the Department of Orthopedics were all over, with 18 successful and 2 unsuccessful.

The success rate of 90 is much higher than the previous average of 76.

For their combination of new chief surgeon, rookie second assistant, and rookie three groups, this is already the most satisfactory result.

At this moment when the operation was over, Zhu Ruiwen, Zeng Jianguo, Yan Haizhe, Gu Jun, Li Hualong, as well as the nurses and nurses such as Sister Chen and Brother Wang, all breathed a sigh of relief, looking very haggard. Under such high-intensity consumption in the past three days, the total time they spent resting and sleeping was less than 10 hours.

"Ah..." Just as Zhu Ruiwen walked out of the operating room, he couldn't hold on anymore at the door, almost collapsed and sat on the ground, leaning against the wall of the corridor.

"Master Zhu!" Gu Jun rushed up, and the others also rushed over.

"It's okay, it's okay..." But Zhu Ruiwen murmured, took off his mask, and breathed weakly, "I'll just sit for a while, I'll be fine for a while..."

Seeing the chief surgeon like this, Zeng Jianguo's spirit relaxed, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and sat down on the ground, "I have to sit for a while too, I'm old, I'm really old."

Li Hualong then sat down, and Gu Jun finally sat down too, all next to the wall of the corridor. The doctors were so tired that they couldn't sleep, they just sat like this.

The anesthesiologists and nurses, who were still a little stronger than them, didn't bother them and let them

sit down.

In three days, 20 amputations.

Gu Jun closed his eyes slightly to rest, he didn't want to think about anything at this time, like Zhu Zhudao said, just sit for a while, just sit for a while.

He didn't have the strength to pay attention to the few prompts popped up by the system in his mind.

"You participated in a successful two-star operation, and your personal contribution was 15 and ranked 3rd."

"Your calm hand proficiency has increased, +500, and the current level is the second level (2000030000 proficiency)"

"Current mission cumulative contribution: 156, hidden mission - mission completed!"

"There are task rewards waiting to be claimed: 1 blurred and old photo, click to claim your reward"
