"I can see a lot of things. If you observe carefully, I believe you will find something soon." The cousin said in a very seductive tone.
I know that my cousin didn't intend to tell me directly. He just wanted to distract me in this way, so as to relieve the tension in my heart to a certain extent. I knew that my cousin had good intentions, so when I really had nothing to do, I just raised my eyes as he wished, and carefully observed the upper LCD screen.
The status of different patients in different operating rooms is clearly displayed on the display screen. Specifically, which operating room, department, patient's name, and status. For example, the first operating room, general surgery, Zhang San, and preparations for surgery. However, it is not easy to see at a glance what the meaning of the specific state means. There are four main states: preparing for surgery, starting anesthesia, under anesthesia, and during surgery.
It didn't take long for me to find that the words "under operation" and "under anesthesia" were the most and the time was the longest. However, the word "in operation" that the patient's family members are most concerned about appears for a relatively short time, and it is usually caught between anesthesia. To put it simply, the sequence is "preparing for surgery", followed by a brief "beginning of anesthesia", followed by "under anesthesia", with a short period of "in operation" in the middle, and finally "under anesthesia". At first, we were a little puzzled by such a change. But through the continuous observation of the relatively short operation process of general surgery, the clues were quickly discovered.
As long as the patient is pushed into the operating room, the LCD screen will soon show that he (she) is in "operation preparation". Of course, what to prepare specifically is beyond the guesswork of us laymen. The length of prep time varies from person to person. Once you are ready, the next step is anesthesia. It is estimated that we have to wait for the anesthesia effect to appear, so whether it is local or general anesthesia, we usually have to wait for a while. The operation will not start until the anesthesia really takes effect. At this time, "operation in progress" will be displayed on the screen. I don't know if it's out of consideration for the psychological feelings of the patient's family members or other reasons, anyway, the words "operation in progress" will only appear for a very short time, and then it will change to "under anesthesia" again . Most people will definitely wait for the words "operation in progress" to appear again, but such words will not appear until the patient leaves the operating room. In other words, the words "under anesthesia" will persist until the end. The family members of patients who don't know why, it is easy to wait until the patient is pushed out of the operating room under the numbness of the word "under anesthesia" and the mood is relaxed.
After figuring out the mystery of the LCD screen, I was concerned about my father's situation immediately. My father is a cardiothoracic surgeon. As I estimated, esophageal cancer surgery is not the kind of minor surgery my parents think. Those in general surgery are truly minor surgeries. It took more than an hour before and after. Although there are no statistics, I can be sure that there is absolutely no more than two hours. Therefore, several patients came in and out, and the father's condition was still in preparation for surgery.
The fact that the operation has not really started means that the risk has not really started. Therefore, I naturally relaxed a little bit from the tense spiritual strings.
After being reminded by my cousin, I wanted to cooperate a little and simply glance at the LCD screen, but now, almost all my attention is devoted to the information on the LCD screen about the status of my father's operation.
Seeing that my spirit began to focus on the LCD screen, my cousin knew that his goal had been achieved. So don't bother me anymore, just sit quietly.
Finally, the anesthesia started. My heart began to tense up again. Because I know that anesthesia is also risky. The words "beginning of anesthesia" almost flashed past, followed by a long "under anesthesia". If there is danger, even life-threatening, the doctor will definitely come out and notify the patient's family. A long time passed without any abnormalities. I know that the danger of anesthesia is over. The heart that had been hanging all this time was let go again.
Different from minor operations in general surgery, my father was under general anesthesia, so the waiting time was relatively longer. Finally, the words "operation begins" began. My heart trembled suddenly, and then there was a burst of pounding. With some common sense, I know very well that the most critical but also the most dangerous moment has finally arrived. Success or failure depends on the situation of the subsequent development of surgery. If he succeeds, he will be able to successfully remove the malignant tumor that has troubled his father for many days; if he fails, his father may not be able to survive today. Success or failure? Although I was praying for success, if I could definitely succeed just by praying, then I would not bring my father here for healing. It is precisely because success or failure is in between, and the probability of failure seems to be greater, so my nervousness at that time was almost gone.has reached its apex. It is no exaggeration to say that my heart is really about to reach my throat.
The words "operation started" just flashed past, and then the words "under anesthesia" remained. But I, who had already seen through the truth, knew that my father's attending physician was currently undergoing an extremely intense operation.
The cousin sitting next to me saw my complexion turn from ashen to pale again, and then my body shook slightly, and then the phone began to tremble
Hey, it's time for me to act again. After the cousin sighed secretly, he immediately took action. "Cousin, has uncle's surgery started yet?"
"It should have already started, because just now I saw the words 'Operation Start' flashed on the screen." I replied absent-mindedly.
"Then why do you still say that uncle is under anesthesia?" My cousin asked pretendingly puzzled.
"I'm not too sure. Maybe it's because the family members of the patients who are waiting here are worried. I took a closer look and found that the patients who came out just now were all like this. After the word 'surgery begins' flashed, they waited until After the operation was over, the screen kept saying 'under anesthesia'." Although my heart was still pounding, when I was answering my cousin's question, I was unconsciously distracted, and I no longer seemed I was so nervous just now.
"Oh, so it looks like my uncle is undergoing surgery now." Seeing that my nervous expression has eased a lot, my cousin knew that my efforts had played a certain role, so he continued to whisper to me stand up. "What do you think of Uncle's surgery?"
"Hey, the situation is not optimistic." I replied dully.
