[Ding! Mission from Ruth: Surgical removal of appendicitis! Mission success reward: appendectomy experience +200! Copper coins +300! ]
The system's mission prompt sounded in Charlotte's mind.
Looking at Ruth's expectant eyes and the system's particularly generous reward, Charlotte was a little scared.
He had removed his appendix, but he was lying on the bed!
And he was anesthetized at the time, so he didn't remember the specific details.
Even if he remembered how the knife was moved, how could he dare to do it himself after the operation?
Even if it was a minor first-level operation, it was not something he could do casually.
As a veterinarian, he dared not say that after cutting open the stomach, he could recognize which one was the appendix, which one was the cecum, and which one was the colon. If he cut it wrong, that would be another story.
"Boss, what is acute appendicitis? Can you really treat it?" Vivian asked curiously with a curious mindset.
"This acute appendicitis..." Charlotte pondered. With the mentality of curing diseases and saving lives, he naturally didn't want Ruth to die in pain from acute appendicitis, but as a veterinarian with rich clinical experience, he did not master the skill of cutting the appendix.
It's just that the situation is urgent now, and the words have been spoken. How to solve it now?
[Ding! The host's first appendectomy is detected, and the appendectomy guidance opportunity is obtained once! ]
The system sounded.
Then Charlotte found that a red dot appeared in Ruth's right lower abdomen, and there was a note: [McBernard point: the best incision position for appendectomy! ]
Charlotte blinked, the red dot was still conspicuous, and the note did not disappear.
The note was still the same note, but it appeared for the first time during the operation.
"Isn't this a hand-in-hand teaching!" Charlotte's eyes lit up, and her confidence came.
"This acute appendicitis is just a minor problem, but the lesion must be removed in time, otherwise it will be very painful." Charlotte looked at Vivian and taught her earnestly: "But those doctors who only know magic cannot use magic to treat the symptoms, so they define patients with this minor problem as abandoned by God to cover up their incompetence." "Really?" Vivian didn't quite believe it. She hadn't even heard of the minor problem Charlotte mentioned. If it was just a minor problem, why didn't the treatment work? "Prepare for surgery." Charlotte didn't explain much and gave the order directly. Although it was just an extra guide, after the appendectomy, he watched some related videos and papers, and had a general idea of the surgical process. If he was careful during the process, it should be fine. Even if he really cut it wrong, there is still an intermediate magician to protect him, so it's not a big problem. "Don't worry, even if God abandons you, I won't give up on you." Charlotte held Ruth's hand and looked at her firmly. The warm power came from the palm of her hand, and Ruth's eyes were moistened again. The firm look made her heart calm down. She nodded slightly and said, "I believe you."
"Did other clinics give you painkillers?" Charlotte asked again.
When Ruth first came in, she acted like a normal person. It was not because she was so strong, but most of the painkillers she took suppressed the pain.
Unfortunately, Charlotte didn't have this thing. He only had a coma potion, which was too unstable. People in a coma might wake up directly because of the pain during surgery.
Ruth took out a small black bottle from the small bag on her waist with trembling hands and whispered, "There is one last bottle."
Charlotte opened the bottle stopper, and a faint fishy smell came, like fish soup without deodorization. The smell was not pleasant, but Ruth had proved that the effect seemed to be good.
He took another bottle of coma potion and helped Ruth sit up, "Drink both bottles of potion, then take a nap, and you'll be fine when you wake up."
Ruth obediently drank both bottles of potion. Before she fell into a coma, she looked at Charlotte reluctantly: "Doctor, if I don't wake up, please remember me. If I die, no one will remember me, and it will be very lonely."
"Don't worry, take a nap, I will wake you up." Charlotte slowly laid her down on the operating table.
Ruth fell into a coma as soon as her head touched the bed.
Painkillers plus coma potions, this is the relatively reliable anesthesia method Charlotte can find at present.
There are two benefits to putting Ruth into a coma. One is that she is afraid that she will not be able to accept that her stomach has been cut open, which will cause the operation to be interrupted. The second is that if there is a mistake during the operation, Vivian may need to take action to clean up the mess.
Vivian walked into the operating room with sterilized surgical instruments, glanced at Ruth who had fallen into a coma, and whispered: "Boss, are you really going to operate on Ruth?"
She still didn't quite believe that Charlotte could cure the patient who was judged as a god-forsaken person by other doctors. This was undoubtedly challenging the authority of the gods.
"Young people should learn to accept new ideas, not superstitious about authority, and even more so, not superstitious about the so-called gods." Charlotte disinfected her hands with a cleaning agent, looked at Vivian and said earnestly: "Today I will let you see the knowledge that is not taught in medical schools, and take off the hypocritical masks of those guys."
Vivian's throat moved, but she didn't refute it again. She looked at Charlotte with a questioning look with a hint of...expectation?
She didn't know why she was looking forward to it.
For doctors, this is completely a subversive statement and behavior!
Maybe she didn't want the beautiful sister lying on the operating table to survive?
Or did she already believe in Charlotte a little?
Or was it that Charlotte's surgery in the past two days shocked her too much, causing her faith to loosen a little?
"This is the area where I need to operate. Unbutton her clothes and skirt, clean her whole body, and then cover it with a sterilized cloth, leaving only this area exposed." Charlotte and Vivian explained, and consciously turned around and left the operating room first.
Three minutes later, Vivian went out and signaled Charlotte to go in.
Charlotte entered the operating room, disinfected her hands again, and then took the smallest dagger from the plate.
Although this dagger is small, it is also as big as a paring knife. It is not delicate enough for surgery. Charlotte decided to go to the blacksmith to customize a smaller scalpel this afternoon.
Not every patient is as thick-skinned as a lizard man. For a beautiful lady like Ruth, such a scar blade is too bad.
"You should be prepared on the side. If there is an unexpected situation such as heavy bleeding, you may need to help with healing magic." Charlotte said to Vivian standing at the other end of the operating table before operating.
Vivian glanced at Ruth who was in a coma and nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte quickly calmed down her nervous mood. Her eyes became calm, her mind was free of distractions, and her hand holding the scalpel became particularly stable.
On Ruth's flat and smooth right lower abdomen, the system marked the location of McBurney's point with a red line.
This is the projection area of the appendix on the body surface. Surgery from here can minimize damage.
Just like the countless surgeries she had performed on cats and dogs, Charlotte made an oblique incision in the right lower abdomen at Ruth's McBurney's point, cutting the external oblique aponeurosis layer by layer, separating the external oblique and internal oblique muscles, lifting and cutting the peritoneum into the abdomen, and then the abdominal cavity was opened, revealing it in front of Charlotte.
At the same time, a series of red markings popped up.
