Chapter 196: Cutting Off Hands (Subscription Required)


An injured person unexpectedly arrived, and Lin Jie closed the car door in frustration and turned back.

As a doctor, encountering such sudden patients is the norm. Hoping to leave work on time for dinner is sometimes nothing more than a luxury. Many surgeons have stomach problems.

At this moment, the door of the BMW on the driver's side also opened, and out jumped a girl with a short Sassoon haircut. Her hair was naturally black, and she was dressed in a fitted denim suit, giving her a youthful and energetic look.

However, in her hand, there was a bundle of blood-stained tissue paper, and she shouted, "The finger, Zhu Ziwen's severed finger is with me!"

At first glance at the girl dressed this way, Lin Jie only caught her with the corner of his eye and paid no attention. Upon hearing her familiar voice, he turned his head to look.

Xiao Qi, it turned out to be Xiao Qi!

Speaking of which, it had been more than a month since he last saw Xiao Qi. Seeing her dressed so youthfully, he found it pleasing to the eye, very soothing.

At this moment, Zhang Daya and Zhu Qiang from the clinic lobby had already rushed out and were supporting the collapsed Zhu Ziwen from the ground.

Upon hearing Xiao Qi shout the words "severed finger," both of them simultaneously stopped their next actions and turned to look at Lin Jie. The clinic couldn't perform finger replantation surgery; Lin Jie was the only one who could possibly do it.

Finger replantation surgery requires microsurgery to connect tiny blood vessels and nerve bundles. It requires the use of a surgical microscope and the corresponding microsurgical instruments.

They could make do with the throat microscope as a surgical microscope, and among the cosmetic surgical instruments bought today by Zhang Daya, there was a set of microsurgical suture tools!

"That Zhu Ziwen is really damn lucky!"

Thinking to himself, Lin Jie said, "Carry him into the operating room and prepare for surgery immediately!"

Finger replantation surgery is a relatively mature operation, and a key part of it is the handling and preservation of the severed limb.

A severed limb can survive for about 6 hours at room temperature and can be preserved longer at low temperatures. If a limb is severed, it should be quickly wrapped in sterile or clean dressings and placed inside a plastic bag.

In winter, it can be sent directly; in hot summer, the plastic bag can be put inside a covered container with ice cubes around it for preservation.

The correct preservation method is to keep it dry and at a low temperature.

Wrap the severed limb in sterile gauze, place it inside a clean plastic bag, and tie the bag's opening securely to prevent any liquid from leaking onto the wound of the severed limb.

Ice cubes or similar low-temperature items like popsicles or ice cream can be placed around the plastic bag to keep it cool.

The severed limb should be sent to the hospital along with the injured person.

During this process, one must ensure that the severed limb does not come into direct contact with the ice cubes to prevent frostbite, and do not soak the severed limb in any liquid. The limb should not be preserved in any liquid, nor should it be placed in alcohol or disinfectant, as this will cause serious damage to tissue cells, making replantation impossible.

At this time, the only person in the clinic who could truly help was Luo Shanshan, who had left the clinic early in the afternoon. Hence, Lin Jie had to personally direct or work on one thing after another.

Fortunately, Zhu Heping, Zhang Daya, and Zhu Qiang had made considerable progress recently under Lin Jie's intensive training, and Zhang Daya and Zhu Qiang had also experienced surgical training!

This time, under Lin Jie's stern command, after a hectic preparation, the surgery was finally able to proceed smoothly!

First induced with inhalation anesthesia, then with intravenous anesthesia, Zhu Ziwen fell into a deep coma, lying quietly on the operating table, ready for surgery!

Zhu Ziwen's severed finger was his left pinky, neatly severed at the middle of the first joint!

According to Xiao Qi, who brought him here, Zhu Ziwen had cut it off himself with a kitchen knife. She had rushed over upon hearing Wen Qin's cries for help and brought Zhu Ziwen to the car, quickly bringing him here.

The first step in finger replantation is debridement.

The main purpose is to clean contaminants that have infiltrated the wound, flush out metabolic wastes and blood clots from small vessels, and clean the cut surface to facilitate repair of nerves, tendons, and blood vessels.

Because Zhu Ziwen's severed finger was neatly cut and brought promptly, Lin Jie did not perform vascular flushing and simply cleaned the cut surface.

The second step is fixing the broken bone, for which Lin Jie used medical stainless steel pins to cross-fix the fracture!

After that comes the suturing of tendons, the reconnecting of finger blood vessels, and the suturing of nerves—this is when a surgeon's skills and expertise are truly tested.

In such moments, aside from Zhang Daya, who could lend a hand by occasionally handing over some sutures, Zhu Heping and Zhu Qiang could only stand by and occasionally check on Zhu Ziwen's condition and monitor the changes in the instrument display data.

This was the first time Zhu Heping had seen Lin Jie perform surgery.

As a village doctor, the closest Zhu Heping had come to surgery was suturing some wounds for injured people, but he still had some insight.

Even in a major hospital, a finger replantation is not performed by just any surgeon; at the very least, it requires a seasoned attending physician.

Watching Lin Jie's calm and focused gaze, his fingers moving nimbly like flying, and his steady, unwavering wrist, recalling everything he had seen and heard at the clinic during this time, and what he had felt...

Especially knowing that Lin Jie's unassuming, seemingly ordinary Volkswagen was worth over a million, Zhu Heping suddenly had the feeling that having a son-in-law like Lin Jie wasn't bad at all.

More than three hours later, Lin Jie walked out of the operating room and saw Xiao Qi and the red-eyed, tear-streaked Wen Qin.

"The severed finger has been reattached, and the finger's blood circulation has been restored. The surgery was very successful, but full recovery will take six months, which is the time needed for nerve suture recovery."

Lin Jie briefly explained the surgical process and results, then looked at Wen Qin and curiously asked, "Xiao Qi said the finger was cut off by Zhu Ziwen himself. How did this happen?"

At his question, Wen Qin started crying again and couldn't speak.

Xiao Qi helped Wen Qin, opened her mouth, and said, "I'll explain! A while ago, wasn't it Double Eleven? Wen Qin bought a lot of things online, which triggered Zhu Ziwen's dissatisfaction, and the two had a big argument."

"They eventually agreed that Wen Qin would stop shopping online, and Zhu Ziwen would no longer play pay-to-play online games. Whoever broke the promise would chop off a hand!"

Xiao Qi sighed and said helplessly, "In the end, neither of them held back. Wen Qin changed the recipient and address of the deliveries to mine, and Zhu Ziwen continued to secretly play online games!"

"Today's incident got exposed, and they had another big fight. Maybe it was the heat of the moment, and Zhu Ziwen cut off his finger then."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie was amazed by Zhu Ziwen.

The vow to chop off a hand is often heard, but few actually go through with it.

Not long ago, they made a spectacle of their love by swallowing lightbulbs, and now this happens. Love and marriage, they're really hard to explain!
