On the operating table, Su Jie dexterously clamped the root of the appendix with a Hem-o-lok clip. This is a medical clip that directly closes the wound and can replace the effect of purse-string sutures.

In fact, if Su Jie is in his prime, single-hole laparoscopic purse-string suturing is not impossible, but now his mental strength is indeed approaching the limit, and the life expectancy of elderly patients is not as good as that of young people, so there is no need to consider clamping the wound for too long

replacement problem.

"The operation is over, anesthesia teacher, is the patient's condition okay?" Su Jie breathed a sigh of relief. The long and high-intensity work made him a little dizzy at this time.

"It's over? Is this the end?"

The anesthesiologist looked at the display screen and made sure that the appendix had been cleaned and there were no other problems in the abdominal cavity. He nodded slightly in surprise: "The vital signs are still stable, and I have reserved a lot of time for you to operate.

Well, it ended so quickly?"

Next, Zhang Wei consciously took over from Su Jie and continued the finishing work of the operation, while Su Jie came down to rest.

"Su Jie, I think you look very bad. Why don't you go to the rest room of the operating room and lie down for a while? Just leave it to me. After I finish it, I will talk to the family about the appendix."

Zhang Wei, who was gradually getting better, said thoughtfully, but Su Jie shook his head: "I'll go talk to the family members. You finish here and wait for the patient to wake up before leaving."

"good!"

Putting on gloves and holding up the bent plate, Su Jie walked towards the door of the operating room.

Jiang Wu followed behind him, his eyes a little wandering, obviously still immersed in the surgery just now, single-port laparoscopic appendicectomy, which was a pursuit of his back then, but he didn't expect that it would actually come true after so long.

Although he was not the chief surgeon, he held the mirror and constantly communicated with Su Jie throughout the whole process. His level of participation was clearly unmatched by Zhang Wei.

"My hands didn't seem to be shaking just now." Jiang Wu later thought about this problem and looked at his hands, a little lost.

The two walked to the door. The little girl was sitting alone on the bench, still wearing the jacket and cotton slippers from the emergency department. Her parents were nowhere to be seen.

Su Jie frowned and walked over with the bent plate in hand.

"doctor!"

The little girl recognized Su Jie, stood up, trotted over, stared at the bloody appendix in the bend, and asked, "How is my grandpa?"

"He is fine. The operation went well. He should be back in the ward in about half an hour. You can wait for him in the ward."

"No, I want to wait for grandpa here!"

"That's okay. Take a look. This is the removed appendix. The pressure on the contents is already great. If it is delayed any longer, gangrene and perforation will become a serious problem. But fortunately, the surgery was done in time, and now it's basically fine.

Problem."

Su Jie tilted the curved disk slightly. He actually didn't want the little girl to see such a bad scene, but he could show the patient the removed tissue. This was a regulation related to the surgery, and he had to abide by the regulations.

"If her parents were more responsible, she wouldn't have to watch this kind of thing." Su Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the little girl was a little afraid of seeing the cut tissue, she still opened her eyes wide and carefully looked at the appendix that Su Jie showed him.

Maybe in her perception, if she doesn't strictly follow the doctor's instructions, her grandfather's illness will not be cured, so although she is scared, she still has to read it carefully!

"Are you sure?" Su Jie tilted the bending plate slightly, straightened it immediately, and then asked.

"Yes." The little girl's face was a little pale, but she still nodded vigorously to show that she saw clearly.

"Have your parents not sent you clothes yet?"

"My parents are dead."

"Hey, how could I forget this?" Su Jie grinned and said with a smile.

Su Jie handed the bent plate to the nurse in the operating room, and then led the little girl to sit down on the bench next to him. Only then did he notice that Li Minghui was leaning on the bench next to him, with his arms folded across his chest.

By then he was already fast asleep.

"Uncle Li was afraid that I would be scared alone, so he stayed with me here." The little girl looked at Li Minghui and said.

Su Jie nodded and led the little girl to the seat on the other side, not wanting to disturb Li Minghui's rest.

Jiang Wuze sat next to Li Minghui and looked at Li Minghui's arms holding him tightly in his sleep. He thought for a while, took off his coat and put it on Li Minghui's body.

"Grandpa won't be out for about half an hour. Do you want to wait here for him?" Su Jie asked again.

"Well, I want to wait for grandpa. I want him to see me first when he comes out of the operating room." The little girl's answer was still firm.

Su Jie stopped asking and sat side by side with her, waiting for the time to pass slowly.

Maybe it was because she had just seen her appendix cut off, but the little girl's expression had been a little nervous, and gradually she began to feel a little lost.

She turned her head, looked at Su Jie, whose eyes were slightly closed, and asked softly: "Doctor, how long do you think my grandpa can stay with me..."

Su Jie half-closed his eyes and said in an ethereal voice: "I will stay with you for a long, long time."

"a long time?"

The little girl obviously did not expect this answer. She turned around and said in confusion: "But everyone said that grandpa is too old. Even grandpa himself said that he could not stay with me for too long... I am the only one with grandpa."

He is a relative and I don’t want him to leave me.”

Su Jie was silent for a long time, and then asked: "What's your name?"

The little girl replied: "My name is Lin Pan, and grandpa calls me Panpan."

"Panpan, your grandpa will stay with you for a long, long time, but he may not always be by your side, but no matter what, he will stay with you for a long, long time." Su Jie said slowly.

"If he's not around, then where is he going?"

Su Jie pointed to the position of his heart: "He will be here and stay with you all the time."

Panpan's hopeful eyes instantly cooled down, she shook her head and said, "I understand what you mean, but I don't want that. I want grandpa to accompany me and stay by my side!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Jie looked at Panpan quietly and continued: "Panpan, you are much more sensible than many of your peers. The answers to many things actually lie in your heart. You

If you still want to ask, you just want to hear a different answer, an answer you expect."

"But you know very well that the answer is impossible. Birth, old age, illness and death are all a person's life. Doctors cannot bring the dead back to life. What we do is just to let those who jump in line in front of death return to their rightful place.

"

"Have you ever thought about why we took the risk and performed this operation on your grandfather?"

Su Jie suddenly asked: "Your grandfather's operation is very risky. Even if the operation is successful, he will not be able to stay with you for a few years, just like you thought."

"But all our doctors, the anesthesiology department, the operating room, so many people have tried their best to perform this operation well for the old man. Do you know why?"

"I, I don't know." Panpan shook her head.

"Because the value of the old man's life cannot be measured simply by the length of time, just like the time he spends with you cannot be measured purely by time."

"How should we measure it?" Panpan asked.

Su Jie opened his eyes, looked at Panpan, and pointed at her: "You should be the one who can measure the value of my life now."

"Me?" Panpan pointed at her nose, confused. Although she had an incomplete childhood and was therefore much more mature than other children, she still could not fully understand such complex issues as life and death.

Su Jie said slowly: "If the value of life is simply measured by length, then wouldn't the person who lives the most meaningful life be the bastard?"

"The old man spent his entire life in the military, and his body was covered with scars. This was the value of his life when he was young. But now that he is in his old age and dependent on you, you are the value of his life."

"It is a pity to always worry about the length of life and waste precious time together on such emotions. Panpan, if I were you, I would only think about cherishing the time with the old man."

Su Jie pointed to the position of his heart: "Bury the most precious person in your heart, and he will always be with you."

"When you encounter difficulties, think about how he will enlighten you."

"When you encounter something happy, think about how he will make you happy."

"When you meet the person you love, think about how he will teach you what love is."

"Don't worry about gains and losses. Treasure every minute you spend with the old man. Plant him in your heart and he will accompany you throughout your life."

After listening to Su Jie's words, Panpan lowered her head. She didn't know what she was thinking. When she felt a chill running down her cheeks, she frantically wiped her eyes and then looked up at Su Jie beside her.

"Thank you……"

But Su Jie was already asleep.

"Thank you, Doctor Su."
