#Doctor Player #222

‘Because I have many experiences with lobectomy now.'

In the past, chest surgery that touched the lungs was out of the question, but not anymore.

He skilfully cut and sewed the gaps between the lung lobes and continued his hand movements.

‘My surgical skills have improved more than before the Master.'

Christine, who was watching Raymond's operation right beside her, made a surprised face.

Faster and more skillful than before.

He was struggling and chasing after him, but Raymond had made another step forward in the meantime.

The further I chased, the more the gap seemed to widen.

‘If it's the master's skills, I'll be able to heal His Highness.'

But it was too soon.

After the lobectomy was completed, Raymond was nervous.

Now it was time to operate on the most important main bronchus.

‘The degree of bronchial invasion is more severe than I thought.'

When the actual chest cavity was opened, the cancer mass was larger than expected.

3 cm passed.

The main bronchus had to be cut just as wide.

‘You have to secure enough space to cut it. Otherwise, the cancer cells will remain and recur.'

The problem is that the more you cut, the more difficult it is to connect the bronchi.

The bronchi are like the branches of a tree. The farther away from the root, the thinner it is.

In other words, the more the area is cut, the different the diameter difference between the two sections.

Then the angler does not fit, and it is not easy to connect.

‘But I can't help it in the current situation.'

Raymond carefully moved the scalpel and cut both sides of the cancerous area.

Swoop.

In the heavy silence, the sound of a scalpel cutting through the bronchi echoed.

At the end of delicate hand movements, the bronchus was cut, and the area where the cancer had invaded completely fell off.

Now the severed organs had to be put back together.

He lifted the thread, but Raymond swallowed.

‘As expected, it doesn't fit.'

The size of the cut section did not match.

‘Still, I have to connect them.'

Raymond moved his hand with desperate concentration.

With a sensory value close to 100, I tried to put together the misaligned cross-sections as much as possible by demonstrating advanced hand movements, but as time passed, my heart sank.

I had a feeling that it wasn't working right.

‘Damn it.'

Raymond's heart sank coldly.

He has felt this way many times in the past.

That's when the operation fails.

There are times when any master will fail in surgery. Not to mention Raymond, who was still lacking.

Whenever I felt like this, the results were not good.

As expected, the bronchial anastomosis was completed, and Raymond clenched his fists.

‘… … It's a failure.'

Christine made a puzzled face.

“master? Didn't it connect properly?”

Visually, there seemed to be no major problem.

To the point of admiring Raymond's skill in performing a difficult spell.

But Raymond shook his head heavily.

“no.”

‘If you look at it with a hawk's eye, there are faint gaps.'

Of course, it's a gap so faint that it's hard to see with the naked eye.

However, if there is a gap left in the hide, it is over.

With every breath, the air leaks out, filling the chest cavity with air and killing it.

‘What should I do?'

Raymond was troubled.

As long as the connection of the bronchi is unreasonable, there is only one way.

‘The root of the bronchial tube is blocked and the entire right lung is cut off.'

It was a total lung resection!

In fact, the invasion of the main bronchus was so severe that the lung cancer, which could not be connected to the bronchi, had no choice but to cut out the entire lung.

‘Since he's a sword master, even if one lung is completely cut off, the remaining lung capacity won't be insufficient.'

The question was whether Oden could survive the surgery.

A total lung resection is, needless to say, a very large operation.

It also puts a lot of strain on the body.

Currently, there is no guarantee that Oden will be able to withstand the major surgery.

‘Maybe there's a high chance of dying during the operation.'

Raymond kept his mouth shut.

He looked at Oden's face, who was wearing an oxygen mask.

Could it be the sleeping anesthetic? Auden's face was peaceful.

It seemed that he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

Even if it makes you angry.

‘Damn, who said you'd let me die in peace? I will definitely save him and rip off all the ties.'

With that in mind, I took a scalpel.

“I will remove the remaining lung.”

But that was then.

An unexpected message came to mind.

[We desperately want to save patients against medical difficulties!]

[The attribute ‘Challenger of Medicine' is manifested!]

[It helps with your difficulties!]

Raymond's eyes widened in surprise.

It is an attribute obtained by entering the Tower of Medicine.

‘What kind of effect is it?'

Raymond longed for it.

‘I hope it will be of great help to you.'

Frankly, there was no chance of success with this operation unless the system worked a miracle.

but.

[Challenger attribute of medicine analyzes your challenge!]

[The success rate of your challenge ‘Total Pulmonary Resection' is 8%!]

“… … !”

Raymond rolled his eyes in bewilderment.

An additional message popped up.

[Detailed analysis]

Table death 25%

Death after surgery 37%

Fatal side effects after survival 30%

This was the end. There was no other help.

[Refer to the analysis to overcome obstacles!]

“… … .”

Raymond frowned.

What help is this?

‘I know it's a difficult operation. But it is unavoidable! Please give me the ability to actually solve it!'

It was the moment when I cried out inwardly.

A fact flashed through Raymond's mind.

[Don't blindly trust help. Difficulties can only be overcome with your ability!]

This was the explanation I heard when I obtained the medical challenger attribute.

‘Is it possible to overcome only with my ability?'

Raymond narrowed his eyes.

So what is the meaning of the message that just came to mind?

Raymond sighed as he found out the answer.

‘… … You gave me a hint. You can't do a total lung resection.'

Raymond's heart sank coldly.

8% chance of success.

So should I proceed this way?

no.

I had to come up with another way.

‘Let's think. What should I do? There must be a way.'

Raymond looked at the scene in the chest cavity.

I could see the bronchi carefully sutured into the operating room.

‘The best thing to do is to perfectly connect the bronchi. Then I can finish the surgery cleanly.'

But the tiny gaps were a problem.

The mouth did not fit, so it could not be solved with a simple suture.

‘Unless something closes that tiny gap... … .'

It was a moment when I muttered inwardly.

Raymond had an idea.

‘… … Wouldn't it be okay if I applied a patch?'

patch!

It refers to padding when there is a perforation (hole) in the stomach or intestines.

‘Cut nearby tissue and wrap the joint! Then I can safely close the gap!'

Raymond immediately moved his hand.

The tissue to be patched was the nearby pleura.

The pleura was carefully wrapped around the joint and sutured with thread. Then, the connection was completed without any gaps.

‘it's okay.'

Raymond let out a long sigh.

It was successful after many twists and turns.

‘Let's finish quickly.'

After undergoing a difficult operation, I was exhausted.

Hurry up and close the thoracic cavity and try to finish it.

Raymond hesitated for a moment.

‘… … Shouldn't the surrounding lymph nodes be removed?'

lymph glands. This is where the cancer first spreads.

So, in many cancers, the principle is to remove nearby lymph nodes during surgery.

However, the effect of lymph node removal on early lung cancer was unclear.

Although there are many cases where it is not necessary to remove lymph node metastasis when it is not obvious to the naked eye.

‘The size of the cancer was quite large for that. There is a high possibility that there are microscopic metastases invisible to the naked eye.'

Raymond kept his mouth shut.

had to choose

Whether to proceed with additional surgery or end the operation here.

Raymond looked at King Auden's face and frowned.

‘Damn, even though I didn't do anything good.'

In fact, ending the operation here had no effect on Raymond.

Even if the remaining cancer recurs and dies, it will be a later date.

To be honest, I got a glimpse of the mind that I was going to do anything with a bad idea.

But he's a healer.

The answer was fixed.

No matter how nasty a patient is, it is unacceptable to not do your best.

Raymond let out a long sigh.

“I will proceed with lymph node dissection.”

So Raymond began to carefully remove the lymph nodes.

Of course, it was not an easy process.

Raymond gritted his teeth whenever a critical moment approached.

Time passed just like that.

* * *

At that time, the people of Houston, the capital of the kingdom, were having an exciting conversation.

“Did you see it? Our prince?”

“Yeah, I saw it. A legendary griffon!”

“I thought I was dreaming. He really was like a legendary hero.”

Everyone was moved by Raymond's heroic appearance.

They cried out in hope.

“Will the prince spare His Highness?”

“of course! Nothing is impossible for our prince!”

“My prince will cure everything!”

There was a reason people shouted like that.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't for King Auden.

It was for Raymond.

“If Raymond-sama treats His Highness, will he really be recognized as a member of the royal family?”

“Yes, I saved His Highness, of course! Maybe I’ll be installed as crown prince right away!”

It was an amazing sight.

Auden was a popular king.

However, the people liked Raymond much more than Oden. can't even compare.

And that wasn't all.

“That Cairn will never inherit the throne!”

“that's right! Long live Prince Raymond!”

From the beginning, Cairn was not popular among the people. He only cared about gaining power among the nobility.

Moreover, after the recent fall of King Auden, he took control of the capital and carried out a reign of terror for a short period of time.

It was a short time, but the people of the capital realized that Cairn would become a dark army.

Thanks to this, the people more eagerly wanted Raymond to rule them.

“How great would it be if Raymond-sama became the Crown Prince? He must surpass His Highness, the King of Knights.”

“I know yeah. did you hear the rumor? What is happening now in the Lafalde region?”

“I heard you. They say miracles are happening.”

“I can't let only the Rafaldes enjoy such blessings! Originally, Raymond-sama was ours!”

“That’s right, Prince Raymond is ours!”

Such stories simmered all over the capital.

The people of the capital gathered in the plaza one by one. And he looked at the royal castle and hoped earnestly.

May Raymond's treatment go smoothly without any problems.

So hope everything goes well.

Representing the hearts of such people, he sang the song of the minstrel Joseph.

It was a song of prayer for the hero Raymond, who rode the Griffin, to create a miracle.

With the prayers of so many people.

The operation is over.

* * *

Can I say that I succeeded?

It was not easy to judge.

Raymond checked Oden's condition.

The operation went well.

But something completely unexpected happened.
