medical center.

operating room.

"Why did it catch fire this time?"

Leonard frowned.

Hospital fires are not particularly rare.

Fires in operating rooms account for more than half of all fires in hospitals.

This is not surprising.

Because there are three elements of fire in the operating room.

Flammables, oxidizing agents, sources of ignition.

in flammables.

High alcohol, all too common in surgical theaters that require extensive disinfection.

Surgical towel covers the whole body of the patient and only exposes the surgical area. Various cotton balls and towels are used for hemostasis. From time to time, there are accidents where the hemostatic towel is forgotten to be placed in the patient's chest cavity. You can imagine the frequency of use of these things.

All kinds of auxiliary materials, rubber and plastic products are flammable.

in the oxidizing agent.

Oxygen, needless to say.

In the operating room, many people often work with high intensity for a long time, in order to avoid oxygen deficiency, resulting in hypoxia, which makes doctors and nurses feel uncomfortable and reduces work efficiency.

The air withering system uses an oxygen-enriched air withering system.

That is to say, medical high-concentration oxygen and natural air are mixed evenly, and the oxygen concentration is slightly increased, so that doctors and nurses are refreshed, work efficient, and are not prone to fatigue.

This oxygen-rich environment is naturally more prone to fire.

Laughing gas, an anesthetic gas, is gradually being phased out.

Of course, this refers to the kind that has been eliminated from the operating room, but has become more and more useful outside. Many girls especially like to smoke this, anesthetizing themselves until the whole body is paralyzed.

Compressed air, ventilator and other equipment gas.

Positive pressure environment, non-infectious surgery generally adopts a positive pressure environment, that is, the pressure in the operating room is higher than that outside the operating room, and the higher the pressure, the lower the ignition point and the easier it is to burn.

The last is the source of the fire.

Electrocautery, electric knife, electric drill, laser, and electric fire are not separated.

Precisely because there is no lack of three elements of fire in the operating room, the precautionary measures in the operating room are very strict.

Generally, there will be no fire.

Not to mention that a patient's chest suddenly burst into flames during heart surgery, which is unheard of in this day and age.

So much so that Leonard was a little dazed.

"Ms. Griswold suffered a sudden pneumothorax, the lung tissue was slightly ruptured, and the high-purity oxygen breathed in penetrated out. The sparks from the electrocautery equipment hit the dry hemostatic towel, and under the catalysis of this concentration of oxygen, a fire broke out."

Adam had already deduced it in his mind, and immediately expressed his guess.

"You said she was mad at Mr. Grisward?"

After thinking about it, Leonard nodded in agreement with this speculation. He can confirm it only after the heart surgery is over and the lung tissue is checked.

"Well, she was clutching her chest, had difficulty breathing, and had a heart attack, covering up the symptoms of a sudden pneumothorax."

Adam explained.

In Western medicine, there are various causes of the same symptom, with dozens or even hundreds of causes at every turn.

Many diseases, patients have at the same time, the symptoms overlap.

All the same signs.

In an emergency, it is normal to ignore the secondary symptoms because of the primary symptoms.

Even Dr. House next door is often deceived by the same symptoms. He needs to do various examinations and eliminate them constantly before he can find out the real cause and prescribe the right medicine.

"Adam, I remember you received a case of lung explosion?"

Leonard laughed.

"Correct."

Adam smiled and said: "A young man was abused by his little cousin because he was playing games. He was out of breath for a while and his lung bullae exploded. He vividly interpreted the words 'exploded with anger' and 'injured by severe anger'. Now look at Come on, young people are not the only ones who are so angry that they can blow themselves up."

"Ugh."

Leonard shook his head and sighed.

Even after this accident, the operation was still very successful.

Mrs. Griswold displayed amazing vitality.

Family waiting area.

Together with Leonard, Adam told Mr. Grisward who was waiting here about the success and accident of the operation.

"Her heart is on fire?"

Mr. Griswold was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, because..."

Adam explained the reason, and the postmortem examination also verified his speculation: "I hope you can understand that this is not as abnormal as it sounds. The operation was successful and your wife will be fine."

"Hehehe, hehehe, hahaha~"

Mr. Grisward first covered his face with his hands, with a strange expression, then he couldn't control it, he laughed out loud, and finally he laughed outright.

When he saw Adam and the others still looking at him, he held back his laughter again, and reduced his laughter to the level of a straight laugh, but at the end, he still couldn't control it.

"Hehe, during her fourth heart operation, her heart caught fire, and then she survived, and will be fine in the future? Hahaha!"

Adam and Leonard looked at each other and smiled wryly at each other, both a little helpless.

Obviously, this good news for ordinary family members is not what Mr. Griswold wants.

"Haha, she's kind of like... like, a mysterious monster!"

Mr. Griswold smiled and waved his fingers, saying what he thought: "The kind that will never die!"

"Cough cough."

Adam coughed lightly, and suggested: "Mr. Griswold, maybe you need to take a break and adjust, and we can talk later..."

"Wait? No! No! No! I won't wait any longer!"

Mr. Griswold shook his head again and again, stood up abruptly, stuffed his wife's bag directly to Adam, picked up his coat, and walked out with dancing steps.

"Tell her, tell her, um, tell her, even without me, she can still live, hahaha!"

After walking a few steps, he turned around again, gave a nondescript military salute to Adam and Leonard with a smile on his face, opened the door, and left with a big laugh.

"Hopefully he won't need to find a psychiatrist."

Leonard shook his head speechlessly.

"Should not be needed."

Adam couldn't laugh or cry: "He was just too emotional for a while."

He understands this emotion!
Back in the day, when I first came here, I knew that my girlfriend was the famous Amy, a young expert who framed and cut throats. I don’t want to mention the days when I was trembling and walking on thin ice.

After being forced to become a showman, the amazing Amy took the initiative to get rid of him through untold hardships. After he was completely free, his yelling posture was not much better than that of Mr. Griswold.

How depressing it was before, how crazy it is now!

This is normal!

It's not crazy!

After venting the emotions, it will gradually get better.

"The first adult male teratoma removal operation, isn't it also this afternoon?"

Leonard raised his hand to check the time, got up and said, "It shouldn't be over yet, let's go and have a look."

"it is good."

Adam naturally has no objection.

Visit the operating room.

The operation lasted for a long time, and many doctors who bought a station were called away before they could see the whole process.

So when Adam and Leonard came over, although they were a little crowded, they were still able to watch.

Adam looked inside and saw Christina standing there as the second assistant, he couldn't help but smiled knowingly.

A rare operation and a favor have arrived.
