I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 53 finally breaks 200!

The principle of "sleeve gastric surgery" is not complicated. It just uses a laparoscope to make five small holes with a diameter of 5~0.5cm on the belly. However, the patient's situation is too special!

With a full weight of 403 pounds and a height of only 1.75 meters, the whole person is like a small mountain of meat when lying down. The operating table is made of two pieces together!

The other party's body is full of flesh, and his stomach has long been stretched to a super large size. The thickness of the stomach wall is at least 4-5 times that of ordinary people!
The instrument that is drilled like a deep well is operated on the stomach wall, which is at least seven or eight times more difficult than that of ordinary patients!
If the doctor in charge is changed to a slightly less skilled doctor, it is estimated that they will not be able to handle it, and something will go wrong.

But Zhou Qiao is at the level of a master. Although he is exhausted and sweaty, the operation is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The itinerant nurse Ava came over from time to time to help Zhou Qiao wipe off her sweat. Elena glanced at it, feeling a little bit off, but as an equipment nurse, she couldn't spare her hands!

Zhou Qiao's hands are very dexterous, and he manipulates the instruments like an arm. Along the direction of the greater curvature of the stomach, the gastric antrum above the pylorus is reserved 2-6cm, and most of the stomach is resected along the long axis of the stomach. It is "banana-shaped", with a volume of about 60-80ml.

In this way, the patient's stomach forms a small gastric pouch of about 150cc, which can hold approximately 4-5 ounces of food.

Its advantage is that there is no need to implant foreign objects in the body, and the weight loss effect of the operation is remarkable.

Of course, I will eat smaller meals more often in the future because I will feel full easily.

Of course, it is not without sequelae. For example, food will get stuck in the small stomach pouch, making people want to vomit from time to time, resulting in lifelong diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux, malnutrition, and high-grade osteoporosis.

However, these problems are completely acceptable to Felipe, whose life is in danger at any time.

When explaining the condition before the operation, Zhou Qiao also informed her.

As for some other low-probability postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage, anastomotic bleeding, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, etc. caused by invasiveness or irreversibility, it is almost impossible to happen under Zhou Qiao's master level. !

After the operation, turn off the main switch of the CO2 cylinder, remove the endotracheal tube, release the remaining air, and press the "stop" button...

……

Close the incision…

The patient is wheeled into the resuscitation room.

The anesthetist Nancy was amazed that this young doctor named Zhou Qiao performed such a difficult operation with a sense of ease, and it seemed that it was not so difficult to complete it!
Nancy felt that she could share this surgical case with her colleagues in the future.

The operating room of the community hospital is monitored, and the video can be called out. Of course, permission must be obtained from the relevant person in charge of the hospital, the Iris Clinic, and the patient.

Elena and Ava looked at Zhou Qiao with scorching eyes, like the sun in the Sahara Desert, which can melt people.

They walked out of the operating room and were met by an anxious-looking Taylor and another woman, Annie.

Taylor opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, but he didn’t say anything!

She is really stressed!
With so many twists and turns, the operation time of just over 40 minutes was as difficult as 40 years.

Anne quickly asked from the side: "Doctor, how is the operation going?"

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy to tell you that the operation was quite successful!"

"Ah? Really? That would be great!" Annie was happy for Taylor.

Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to suddenly dissipate a lot. She was able to speak, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!"

"Doctor Zhou, you are really my son's lucky angel!" Taylor stepped forward and hugged Zhou Qiao tightly.

Zhou Qiao patted her on the back lightly, and said, "It's okay, Felipe is in very good condition now, when he wakes up and returns to the clinic for a few days, he can be discharged smoothly."

However, it was quite troublesome for Felipe to go back, so Annie helped and called a few security guards from the community hospital, and everyone pushed Felipe back together.

After arriving at Iris Clinic, entering the elevator, and arriving at the ward on the second floor, everyone finally relaxed!

Of course, the few days after the operation were quite difficult, so Zhou Qiao asked Taylor to prepare some liquid food, such as milk, minced beef and boiled tomato puree, gradually adding bread, eggs and so on.

Although the stomach reduction operation is completed, the blood sugar still needs to be controlled, and Felipe is so fat, it is impossible to lose weight in just a few days. It will take a process. Zhou Qiao estimates that the shortest period is half a year, and the longest period is a year. , you can definitely see the effect.Note that regular follow-up on the line.

Seeing his son getting better day by day, Taylor becomes even more motivated to pick up trash!

Kainz contacted Pierre at the community hospital again to find out about the operation at the Iris Clinic, and was shocked to learn that Zhou Qiao's operation was successful!
"It's absolutely impossible to stay any longer, this person is too threatening!" Kainz snorted coldly, and couldn't help contacting an acquaintance of the California Medical Board again to inquire about the progress of his last complaint.

The other party said that the process is still going on, but it is estimated that an investigation team will come over soon and ask him to wait patiently.

Fleck came to pick up Zhou Qiao again. This time, Zhou Qiao came to a luxury hotel, located between the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in Napa Valley, California. The greenery of the mountains and plains makes this resort in the vineyard extraordinarily unique. Xanadu" style.

Here, once selected in "100 Most Beautiful Places in the World", it has a restaurant with the most beautiful view in the world, known as "the land of elves in Napa Valley".

This resort hotel is also an industry on the [-]th Street, and it is a serious business.

When Zhou Qiao came, Luo Ya was swimming in a private swimming pool. It was luxurious, constant temperature, and surrounded by many high-end spa equipment. The most important thing was that Luo Ya was alone in it.

Her body was like a mermaid. When she saw Zhou Qiao arriving, she jumped up and waved. Zhou Qiao quickly changed her clothes and jumped down to play with her.

To be honest, he has not been to swim in San Francisco for so long, mainly because he is too busy. In addition, although San Francisco is a seaside city, swimming is always going to the swimming pool.

On the west coast of the United States, there are long beaches, but basically no one swims in the sea.

Mainly, it's too cold!Even if it's summer now!
Unless you wear cold-proof diving gear!
This is caused by the characteristics of the Pacific Ocean!
When the North Pacific Current meets the North American continent, it divides into two groups, one goes north and the other goes south. The one going south is called the "California Cold Current".

It brings year-round icy water, and the depth of the ocean and the thickness of the water are enormous.

Therefore, even in hot weather on the coastline, the water temperature still does not rise, even in hot latitudes.

But the problem is not only that the water temperature is cool, there are many dangers!

Not to mention sharks.

Coastal areas along the West Coast of the United States experience almost constant high waves and strong underwater currents due to temperature differences between the shoreline and the depths of the ocean.For the average swimmer, swimming here can be swept away by waves, or sudden currents, or cramping from the cold water rising up from the depths.

Also, due to the constant waves of the ocean on the shoreline, the water is not very clean with algae, debris and other debris.Much of the Pacific coast is one of the richest areas for fishing.

The balance of Yixuandian account finally exceeded 200!

"The account balance is 208, are you sure you want to redeem your attending doctor's license?" In his mind, the system popped up a golden virtual panel.

　Thanks to a book friend for the correction, the icy water in San Francisco is not from Antarctica (that is the Peruvian cold current), but is caused by the California cold current, a branch of the North Pacific current.After I modified it, the paragraph comment disappeared automatically, so I didn't remember the nickname of that book friend.grateful!
