Chapter 22: with translation of chapter title

I'm literally kneeling.

After a brief silence, the bullet comments in Xinglin Yuan began to flood the screen.

Even a routine appendectomy rarely goes this fast, let alone when the patient is a pregnant woman in her second trimester. Performing an appendectomy during pregnancy is extremely difficult; even those who haven't done it themselves can somewhat understand.

But this extremely difficult case was completed within ten minutes.

At this point, more and more people kept entering the livestream room, but they only saw the ending.

Late again? Need comfort.

You missed out on a fortune. Missing this surgery livestream means you missed the biggest opportunity in your life.

Wasn't this supposed to be a pregnancy appendectomy? How did it end so fast? I just made a cup of coffee, preparing to watch for three hours.

Some complained, some joked. Yet those who truly understood were still stuck in a bewildering swamp, unable to pull themselves out.

Another minute passed, and people began shouting "666" one after another.

The incision was precisely placed, the local anesthesia was adequate, the surgery was clean and swift—awesome!

I think I'll stay up all night; suddenly I have an idea to write an article about selective incisions. Does any expert have paper recommendations?

In my view, anesthesia is the most crucial step. I haven't seen a case where a patient felt no pain under local anesthesia.

Although the surgery ended unexpectedly, the livestream room stayed open, and everyone treated it like a chat room from N years ago, freely discussing their impressions of the surgery.

Some doctors said they would use the surgery recording as teaching material; others said they would use this pregnancy appendectomy as a case in tomorrow's case discussion.

In the demonstration room of Haicheng Shi Yiyuan Hospital, Director Pan sat calmly on the sofa again, looking at the empty operating table, smiling faintly.

Director Liu's surprised expression hadn't faded; he was utterly bewildered.

Since Zheng Ren was assigned to Haicheng Shi Yiyuan Hospital, he has worked in the General Surgery Department First Section. Director Liu knows best Zheng Ren's capability.

He's only done about a hundred appendectomies on his own—nothing special.

But the pregnancy appendectomy he just finished dealt Director Liu a heavy blow.

If he did it himself, would it be so clean and swift?

No.

Definitely not.

Even with continuous epidural anesthesia, he would certainly choose the incision site described in textbooks: above McBurney's point on the right side of the rectus abdominis.

But then just locating the appendix would take a long time. Manipulating the intestines might overstimulate the patient, possibly worsening a threatened miscarriage—things Director Liu couldn't handle.

How did Zheng Ren pick the point so accurately? Who taught him?

If Zheng Ren hadn't performed this surgery, Director Liu would surely have treasured the recording, taking it back to study repeatedly.

Just the surgical approach alone would provide ample inspiration.

Really infuriating!

Director Liu clenched his fists tightly, silently releasing the anger deep within.

"How about it, Director Liu?" Director Pan started spouting nonsense, "Zheng Ren is still young; if you have any opinions about this surgery, just say them—I'll bring Xiao Zheng to make improvements."

"Opinions? Damn opinions!" Director Liu's inner fury ignited.

"What opinions could I have? What opinions do I even have! I practically want to take the surgery video home to study, and you're asking me for opinions."

Director Liu gritted his back teeth, knowing that whatever he said would be shot down by Director Pan, leaving him utterly defeated.

Be patient, wait for Zheng Ren to make a mistake.

Just one mistake is enough—just one!

…… - none.

…… - none.

In the Xinglin Yuan surgery livestream room, many people hadn't left, just chatting idly.

Several minutes later, a new image suddenly appeared, preparing to lift a patient onto the operating table.

Whoa, a double hit!

Glad I didn't leave; I caught the livestream from the start.

My goodness, I said my coffee wasn't wasted, and there's actually a surgery livestream—hahaha, I'm totally pumped.

The livestream room, which had been gradually quieting, suddenly erupted.

Few get the chance to watch the entire surgery up close, and everyone cherishes it.

Almost everyone, during the pre-op preparations, grabbed their phones and dropped a bombshell in every group chat, dragging awake colleagues, friends, and classmates into the fray.

What did I see? My eyes are burning.

Is the expert going to install a heart stent? Such an obese patient is prone to heart attacks.

The case is out, the livestream is great, and there's even a real-time case. Damn, it's still appendicitis—is the expert planning to tackle appendectomies of varying difficulty?

As the mountain of flesh was lifted onto the operating table, the bullet comments flooded the screen.

Unlike pregnancy appendicitis, appendectomy for obese patients is something nearly every doctor has performed. Even those not specializing in general surgery have encountered such patients during rotations and internships.

Such patients are not rare, unlike ectopic appendix which is hard to treat. Yet every doctor finds it troublesome—just changing the dressing three times a day for postoperative fat liquefaction is enough to drive one crazy.

But it's not him doing it; it's the expert performing the surgery. Who would still complain about the fuss while watching the spectacle? Countless bullet comments flooded the screen, all shouting "666" for Zheng Ren.

Xinglin Yuan lacks a tipping mechanism, so you don't see rockets and flying cars.

But the growing online viewership has broken Xinglin Yuan's record for simultaneous viewers.

Everyone's attention focused on the two figures mentioned in the case: 168 cm and 225 pounds. Add the striking mountain‑like abdominal fat, and it tugs at the heartstrings of the doctors watching the surgery livestream, keeping them awake like a lovely maiden.

"Director Liu, you've got this." Director Pan said while flipping through the patient's records on the computer.

As soon as the patient arrived, he was placed on the operating table, having only completed an initial admission note. Yet Director Pan discovered a problem in that note—just like with pregnancy appendicitis, the patients came from the surrounding counties of Haicheng.

Director Pan has never harmed anyone, but after so many years in medicine, he's seen all sorts of nefarious tactics.

Just from this detail, he could tell that the patient's origin was definitely problematic.

They are all from the surrounding counties, all extremely difficult and troublesome patients.

Only if there were no problems would you see a ghost.

"It's Zheng Ren's good luck, what does it have to do with me." Director Liu had already climbed out of the despondent mire, perked up, and denied Director Pan's speculation.

This kind of thing, as long as you're not caught in bed, definitely has to be denied.

"Hmph." Director Pan also didn't argue with him, focusing intently on the image on the projection, his right hand tapping on the worn-out Guan Zhui Pian.
