Chapter 2728: with translation of chapter title

2630.2530 More legendary than the legend.

After the initial dense command voices faded, the surgery seemed to get on track. The voices dwindled, with only Zheng Lao Ban occasionally reminding Lin Yuan about the force, angle, and how to coordinate the snare device with the surgery.

Lin Yuanzhang's gaze was fixed entirely on his own young lady; he clenched his fists, his palms drenched in sweat.

Has his own young lady grown this far? Lin Yuanzhang's worry was mixed with boundless pride and honor.

Liangzuren and Pangzhuren's viewpoint differed from Lin Yuanzhang's; they paid more attention to the blunt dissection of the steel wire within the J-type fixed guidewire.

After watching for several minutes, the two had moved past their astonishment that such a thing could be done, and began to ponder the practical question of what they themselves would do if they were on the operating table.

But when they placed themselves in the operator's position, they did not experience any sudden Ming enlightenment; instead, greater confusion and bewilderment arose.

How did Zheng Lao Ban and his assistant manage to do that?!

How soft the J-type fixed guidewire was was clear to both directors. Being able to send the J-type fixed guidewire through the femoral vein into the right atrium without a single mistake was a notable surprise for the two top interventional cardiologists.

They weren't unable to do it; they just couldn't do it every time.

If the surgery went this smoothly, at least their mood would be good for a whole day. More often, it took two or three attempts for the J-type fixed guidewire to reach its position smoothly.

However…

However, Zheng Lao Ban and his assistant showed no hesitation or mistake; the J-type fixed guidewire calmly, coldly, and ruthlessly went straight to the right atrial appendage, where they began the procedure.

Even the flexible J-type fixed guidewire required no effort; even the steel wire inside, trying to get it into position in one go, was difficult.

Watching what looked like blunt dissection in surgery, the feeling of operating was completely different. How could the sensation of using tweezers or hemostatic forceps be the same as using the J-type fixed guidewire?

Moreover, they quickly realized Zheng Lao Ban's even more impressive aspect.

Zheng Lao Ban operated the J-type fixed guidewire with his right hand and pressed the large head of the radiofrequency ablation against the electrode head with his left hand. His assistant could only focus on operating the J-type fixed guidewire, while the snare device was handled by another assistant.

Is this the legendary god-level operation of double-handed double manipulation?

Half a year ago, the incident in which Doctor 912 Director Miao jumped from a building caused a huge uproar in the medical circles of Di Du.

After a long time, when mentioned at gatherings, annual meetings, and social events, the Doctor 912 who had been present at the rescue said, 'Zheng Lao Ban's divine operation, using both hands to double-hold!'

When they heard this, neither Liangzuren nor Pangzhuren believed it. Double-handed double-holding—could a person really do that? It must have been a subjective speculation formed by the Doctor 912 during the rescue.

But when they saw Zheng Lao Ban performing the double-handed double-hold operation, smooth and flowing like clouds and water, completely unaffected, the two directors fell silent.

More legendary than the legends.

Alternatively, we could translate as "Doctor 912, Director Miao". I'll choose that.

Not to mention Zheng Lao Ban; even his assistant, the handsome, witty, and friendly Doctor Su, had perfected his operation.

He simply could not achieve multitasking or double-handed double-holding.

How could they be so strong? Liangzuren felt an overwhelming sense of confusion and bewilderment.

But as they watched, a dark shadow blocked their view.

When they heard this claim, neither Director Liang nor Director Pang believed it. Performing the procedure with both hands—could a person really do that? It must have been a subjective illusion that Doctor 912 experienced while rescuing at the time.

Such subjective illusions are not uncommon; a sentence, after being passed through several people, becomes completely unrecognizable, as each person reshapes it according to their own experience and understanding of the world.

But when they saw Zheng Lao Ban performing the procedure with both hands, completely unaffected and flowing smoothly, the two directors fell silent.

It turned out the legends were true—not only true, but even those seemingly miraculous legends had not yet fully captured Zheng Lao Ban's remarkable skill.

Even more legendary than the legends.

No wonder they could win a Nobel Prize; no wonder they would, in front of cameras and flashbulbs, say that the Nobel Committee's recognition of him was acknowledged.

Zheng Lao Ban, you certainly have the qualifications to say that!

Each of his steps represents the pinnacle of interventional surgery; the position he holds is a field that no one has ever ventured into before.

Not only Zheng Lao Ban, but even his assistant, the handsome, witty, and friendly Doctor Su, has performed flawlessly.

He simply couldn't manage to do two things at once or operate with both hands.

How could they be so strong? Director Liang felt utterly bewildered and confused.

But as they watched, a dark shadow blocked their view.

"Xiao Pang, step back." Liangzuren said unhappily: "You're blocking the screen yourself; how can others see the surgery?"

Liangzuren's tone was somewhat stern, completely lacking the respect that the retired former chief had for the current chief still working on the clinical front.

Pangzhuren, however, at the critical moment of the surgery, leaned his head in so close to the screen as if licking it—this isn't a joke!" Liangzuren said impatiently.

"Oh, oh." Pangzhuren wasn't angry either, absentmindedly uttering two "ohs," he stepped back about 10 cm, his eyes seeming to be glued to the screen, unable to pull away.

The operating room was silent, only occasionally Zheng Lao Ban's voice came through the intercom, easing the atmosphere a little.

There was no bloody surgical scene; only the subtle manipulation deep inside the organs beneath the skin, muscle, and bone under invisible radiation.

Time ticked by; under the pressure of the large tip of the radiofrequency ablation and the loop device, and as the steel wire of the two J-type fixed guidewires sent in was peeled away, the electrode tip originally fixed for a long time in the right atrial appendage finally showed a slight loosening.

The surgery was performed very slowly, lacking the legendary speed of Zheng Lao Ban stepping up and completing pelvic fracture embolization bleeding in fifteen minutes.

All the operations were extremely delicate, even to the point of being slow.

Bit by bit, like pulling silk from a cocoon, the adherent fibrous tissue attached to the electrode tip was peeled away.

The part of the electrode tip left in the right atrial appendage wasn't deep to begin with—only about 3 mm. Yet Zheng Lao Ban spent nearly three hours just separating that 3 mm.

Lin Yuanzhang was feeling a bit tired from standing; he went to the sofa at the back, sat down, and rubbed his sore, numb, swollen leg, looking at Lin Yuan inside through the lead glass.

The girl wearing several tens of jin of lead clothing for the surgery—wouldn't she be tired? This surgery almost constantly consumes the wire; will the girl's white blood cell count drop a lot because of it?

Lin Yuanzhang's mind wandered with random thoughts.

2 hours, 46 minutes, 22 seconds—Liangzuren and Pangzhuren on the Observation Platform suddenly straightened up, and the frozen air in the operating room loosened.

Lin Yuanzhang felt a stir in his heart; seeing the black shadow on the screen that signified the pacemaker electrode tip beginning to move outward, he knew the surgery was finished.

"Ah..."

One person cried out in pain and collapsed.
