Chapter 471: Surgery That Can Be Broadcast Throughout

Early the next morning.

Fan Dao arrived at the Affiliated Hospital early.

Observing from the gallery and watching surgery is not much of a problem, as long as no cameras are brought in and patient privacy is not involved.

"Fan Dao." Ji Xiang greeted him with a smile and went to change his clothes.

When Ji Xiang came out, Fan Dao asked, "Ji Yisheng Xiang, is today's surgery difficult?"

"I heard from Li Zhuren that you wanted to observe?"

"It's just that I was at a dead end yesterday, not knowing what to film, so I called you. Your suggestion... I don't know if it will work." Fan Dao spoke the truth.

"Let's go take a look. I don't know if it will work either, but it's a good thing for you to gain some inspiration from taking a look," said Ji Xiang.

There was no filming assignment today, so Ji Xiang went directly to the Interventional Department to find Li Zhuren, Li Ming.

The morning shift handover was very busy; Li Zhuren was only superficially polite to Fan Dao before blocking him outside the door to begin the handover, see patients, conduct rounds, and go to surgery.

Li Zhuren, Li Ming, did not particularly slight Fan Dao; he accompanied Fan Dao to the operating room and taught him how to change clothes, wear a cap and mask, and explained the various precautions after entering the Operating Room.

Originally, Fan Dao only wanted to watch the surgical process to see if he could make an episode, without needing to enter the operating room. But Fan Dao was very insistent, saying he wanted to watch from beginning to end, observe at close range, and absolutely not just skim the surface.

Unable to refuse him, Li Zhuren had no choice but to take Fan Dao to put on Lead Clothing and enter the operating room, watching the whole process after taking protective measures.

At this point, Li Zhuren, Li Ming's impression of Fan Dao changed greatly.

There is a reason why someone can make every show they film a hit; daring to put on Lead Clothing and enter the operating room is something very few people can actually do.

Even when it comes to letting loved ones be exposed to radiation, many people are unwilling.

Doctors and nurses know in their hearts how many people refuse to enter the CT Room to look after patients.

Fan Dao is truly willing to risk his life for the sake of the program.

The surgery began. The patient was familiar; Fan Dao recognized them—it was the one from a few days ago who had been told there was no hope and to go home and wait for death.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, will you do it?" Li Zhuren, Li Ming, stood at the operating table, his temperament suddenly changing. He was polite to Ji Xiang, using a question, but Fan Dao could hear a certain tone of affirmation that brooked no refusal.

Ji Xiang didn't say much either; he stood in the surgeon's position and began the puncture.

"Fan Dao, this is the surgical approach we often use, generally a Right Femoral Artery Puncture." Li Zhuren watched Ji Xiang's surgical movements intently while explaining to Fan Dao.

Since the man had already put on Lead Clothing and come in, he certainly had to say a few more words.

Fan Dao was somewhat bewildered; he didn't even know what to ask. Seeing Ji Xiang standing in the surgeon's position, with only 3 people in the room including himself, he asked with some confusion, "Li Zhuren, don't you need a surgical nurse?"

"Normally it is needed, but our instruments are relatively simple. It's not like emergency surgery where every second counts, so there is almost no delay; therefore, the fewer people exposed to radiation, the better."

Fan Dao nodded. Seeing the nurse in the operating room through the Lead-lined Glass, he thought that Li Zhuren could really be considered very considerate of the nurses under him.

Ji Xiang picked up the Syringe and began the puncture; Fan Dao watched Ji Xiang's hands.

"Fan Dao, most people do a femoral artery puncture by aspirating the Syringe while puncturing." Li Zhuren was very satisfied after noticing the subtle difference in Ji Xiang's hand movements and explained to Fan Dao, "Doctor Xiao Ji has precision; one needle goes down and lands exactly in the Femoral Artery, then he draws back and sees blood."

So there were details to such a simple action; Fan Dao half-understood and nodded blankly.

But he immediately saw that after the needle drew blood, Ji Xiang moved the Syringe a little further down.

It should have pierced through the Femoral Artery; was this a misoperation?!

How could a mistake appear so quickly!

"Li Zhuren..." Fan Dao said in a low voice.

"Oh, this isn't a mistake, it's our normal procedure." Li Zhuren explained while helping Ji Xiang remove the Syringe, "If the needle tip stays in the blood vessel, it will spray blood, and we still need to replace it with a Guide Wire to go in. Piercing to the outer wall of the Femoral Artery allows us to avoid bleeding."

Fan Dao was even more bewildered; he saw that with Li Zhuren's Auxiliary help, the Guide Wire was already poised and ready outside the puncture sheath.

Ji Xiang withdrew the puncture sheath; a stream of dark red blood appeared, but before much blood could gush out, the Guide Wire was sent in.

This time, Fan Dao roughly understood what Li Zhuren, Li Ming, had meant just now.

So that was it.

Even if it was just a small detail, someone had to explain it for him to understand.

The Guide Wire in Ji Xiang's hand was fed in bit by bit, followed by stepping on the pedal.

Fan Dao stood behind Ji Xiang and Li Zhuren, Li Ming, watching the screen, trying hard to identify the position of the Guide Wire inside the body.

As he watched, although Fan Dao was still confused, a sense of excitement gradually welled up in his heart.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

No blood and gore, no direct view of internal organs, and no forbidden footage.

Except for the puncture action similar to an IV drip earlier, there was no blood throughout the entire process.

Ji Xiang's words from the phone call yesterday welled up in his heart; he was right!

Fan Dao's hands gradually clenched into fists, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and he watched the surgery intently.

Ji Xiang and Li Zhuren, Li Ming, stood in front of the screen, watching the screen under the X-ray, and sent the Guide Wire to the designated position.

Fan Dao didn't know what the specific position was, but anyway, medicine was injected afterward, and the surgery was declared complete.

Fan Dao had no idea how many details were in the entire surgery, but he was very clear that this was what he needed!

There was no blood or violence to censor, yet it could allow the audience to come into contact with a complete, entire surgery!

The concept of a surgical day became clearer and clearer in Fan Dao's mind; he had already "mapped out" the specific operational details and the data after viewing.

This is it!

Fan Dao clenched his fists tightly with both hands.

The screen went dark, and Fan Dao's gaze fell on Ji Xiang.

This kid is truly amazing.

He and his production team had already reached a dead end, but with a few words of guidance from Ji Xiang, everything suddenly became clear!

After watching the entire surgery, Fan Dao was certain that this was all feasible.

A program he once thought wouldn't work had "come back from the dead," turning into a red-hot, national-level variety show.

National-level!

Fan Dao's heartbeat began to accelerate.

"The surgery is over," Ji Xiang chatted with the Patient, "the specific results depend on your body; everyone has different reactions to the treatment."

The Patient could also see the screen, and he began to discuss technical details with Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang answered them one by one.

Not lying on the operating table, Fan Dao could not understand the Patient's focus; he pulled Li Zhuren Li Ming to the side and asked in a lowered voice, "Li Zhuren, does our department perform similar surgeries often?"

"Often," Li Zhuren Li Ming said with a smile, "we have records of similar surgeries. If you need them, you can send the Camera Crew to record. But the prerequisite is that I must arrange for someone to contact the Patient, and the Patient must agree."

Fan Dao was slightly confused.

Li Zhuren Li Ming's level of cooperation with the production team was the exact opposite of the level of cooperation from the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department.

This was very strange.
