Li Jingsheng performed an ultrasound examination on him and felt confident in performing the surgery.
He started to persuade the patient earnestly.
"What you said makes sense, so go ahead and do it for me!"
The man agreed on the spot.
"Can you find a family member to come and sign?"
"I lost my parents when I was very young, lived in a welfare institution for two years, and then was taken in by a kind elderly couple. Unfortunately, they died in a car accident during my sophomore year in college. Alas, if they were still alive, I could have given them a prosperous old age."
At this point, the patient’s eyes slightly reddened.
Everyone has a tender spot within their heart.
"Alright then! You can sign by yourself later on, right? Did you bring your ID card?"
"How can I not bring it when seeing a doctor?"
Li Jingsheng discussed the price with the patient, charging twenty-five hundred, including all fees.
Li Jingsheng also handles the pathology examination.
The patient very readily agreed to the surgery price.
As per protocol, let the patient sign the surgical risk consent form, pay the fee, and then arrange the surgery.
"Meng Luo, Siying, prepare for surgery in the operating room. The patient needs a tumor removed from the left upper arm."
They immediately started preparing.
Meng Luo is a senior surgical nurse, experienced.
Packing instruments, setting up the drapes, and disinfecting were all handled by her. Han Siying helped out and learned alongside.
Li Jingsheng personally conducted the preoperative preparations for the patient.
Including cleansing and sanitizing the surgical area.
This patient had long hairs on his arm that needed shaving preoperatively, otherwise, it would affect the surgical effect.
Fortunately, shaving was relatively easy.
Li Jingsheng most feared shaving the patient’s head or perineal area, as sometimes it hurt, resulting in verbal complaints.
...
Inside the operating room, the procedure started with an allergy test for the anesthesia.
After no allergic reaction occurred, the patient received a brachial plexus block injection.
This procedure was executed by Meng Luo.
It was evident she had extensive experience with dosage, injection sites, and depths.
The purpose of brachial plexus block anesthesia is to interrupt the conduction of the brachial plexus.
To make the patient’s left arm lose sensations, and relax the muscles.
Li Jingsheng donned gloves, wearing surgical attire, standing in the main surgeon position, with Meng Luo opposite him.
The position of the instrument nurse is generally flexible, often standing on the same side as the main surgeon, but many surgeries have them positioned opposite the surgeon. There’s no strict rule.
