Chapter 2917

Shou Bing was easy to do, the process went smoothly, and everyone's mood was relatively Relaxation.

"Xiao Yu, let me introduce you to a girlfriend." Director Liu said while performing the dissection.

"……" Yu Zong was really speechless; recently, after no longer being the Inpatient Chief, the number of people introducing girlfriends to him has surged, but he really has no idea for now.

This sort of thing is all about fate; Yu Zong thinks introducing people like that is completely unreliable.

"Director, Yu Zong just said, we need to keep things smooth and orderly." The anesthesiologist said with a laugh.

Yu Zong didn't explain either; it was a good-natured joke, everyone was just joking. As for the matchmaking that Director Liu mentioned, it's probably the kind of thing where you try three times regardless of whether there are dates or not.

Yu Zong absentmindedly went through the motions, focusing with one hand on the light source to illuminate the surgeon's operating field. The work of a laparoscopic surgery assistant is the same as in normal surgery: expose the Operating Field, and the surgeon does whatever makes the surgery comfortable for them.

Saying it's easy to do, Yu Zong has done hundreds of laparoscopic surgeries, and this hurdle for the assistant is basically cleared.

Exposing the renal artery and vein and renal pelvis, Director Liu dissected the tissue's structures in an orderly manner, clarifying the normal anatomy.

This is very important; when performing surgery, there must be no secondary damage. It's not okay to proceed blindly when you can't see anything.

"Director Liu, how did the Flying Knife procedure go last weekend?" The circulating nurse, having some free time, sat to the side and chatted intermittently.

"Not bad, preparations over there are quite thorough." Director Liu said: "Nowadays, one shouldn't just perform Shou Bing casually. A few days ago, someone even complained that the Flying Knife fees were being treated as a red envelope, so I've rejected all surgeries this week."

"Rejected? That's tens of thousands of yuan!"

"There's no way around it; you can't just go against the wind." Director Liu said, "But we still need to maintain that relationship; I've kept a bed open for the patient to come stay in the hospital and schedule the Shou Bing."

"You say this thing is a hassle." The circulating nurse said, "Coming from out of town, tossing and turning, they don't even mention reimbursement for hospitalization fees, etc. Each patient has at least 2-3 caregivers; these people don't spend much back home. But coming to Di Du, they need lodging, meals, even if just taking the subway each day, a round‑trip hospital stay is at least five days, and the cost has doubled out of nowhere."

"What should we do? Just be honest and don't be the one who sticks out." Director Liu said, "Sooner or later we'll run into this kind of thing; now it's already considered late. I don't see it being handled any differently; I expect that after a while we'll be able to do it again."

"Director Liu, are you still okay health‑wise? Does running the Flying Knife tire you out?"

"Tiring, but making money isn't." Director Liu laughed and said, "I haven't reached the point where I can't leave Di Du yet. How's Zheng Lao Ban? He also intermittently goes to run the Flying Knife, right?"

"Zheng Lao Ban's earnings from running the Flying Knife aren't even enough to stuff between his teeth; the Community Hospital over there has a hundred beds and is now fully operational." The circulating nurse said, "After work I passed by the Community Hospital and saw it was bustling."

"That's true, but how can an ordinary doctor like me compare to Zheng Lao Ban?" Director Liu said, "The resident doctor beside Zheng Lao Ban, Professor Gao, is all set to go to Di Du for liver and gallbladder work."

In the conversation, Director Liu lowered his own stance so much that even the director of 912 could say he was just an ordinary doctor… Yu Zong clicked his tongue in his heart.

"Ah? Professor Gao isn't said to be a doctor from Zheng Lao Ban's hometown in Sheng Cheng?"

"Going to Zheng Lao Ban's place is like getting a gold plating; half a year is enough, and you don't have to keep chasing after it."

As they were speaking, a small capillary that had abnormally proliferated ruptured, and blood instantly filled the screen's view.

Yu Zong and Director Liu didn't panic; this kind of thing is often seen. In Shou Bing, who expects no bleeding? Nobody can avoid such a small matter.

The lens pulled back, exposing the bleeding point; Yu Zong pressed on the capillary, and Director Liu quickly staunched the blood from the vessel, the Suction Device sucked clean the residual blood in the abdominal cavity, and they continued the Shou Bing.

Director Liu swiftly used a Hem-o-lock clip to clamp the renal artery, checked it, and there was nothing wrong.

"Director Liu, you guys can't go out to do Flying Knife anymore, right? Shouldn't we be doing more Shou Bing on our side?" the circulating nurse asked.

"Won't happen." Director Liu said, "Grade A tertiary hospitals don't allow adding beds; there are only so many Bed Positions, nobody can do anything about it, so we'll just schedule them slowly."

"Guo Jie retired and opened a small inn opposite the Hospital; every day she has little to do, and her income is higher than a regular job. I chatted with Guo Jie a few days ago, heard how enviable it is, and I'd like to open one myself."

"Don't talk nonsense; you've got enough to worry about. Just watching others eat meat, you don't see them getting beaten. A small inn has all kinds of people; with your temper, if you went there for less than a week, you'd be so angry you'd get heart disease."

"That's true, Guo Jie said the work is indeed not easy…"

By the time it was 3:30, it was clear the Shou Bing was halfway done; estimated not to delay much the off‑work time, and everyone's mood was great.

In the cheerful atmosphere, the Shou Bing seemed to become a bit simpler.

Just as they were chatting, the anesthesiologist fell silent.

The intraoperative blood pressure dropped rapidly within 20 seconds, and the monitor already started alarming. Not only the intraoperative blood pressure, but the oxygen saturation also fell from 99% to 81%.

He quickly began checking whether the connected leads had a problem; the Shou Bing had gone smoothly, aside from that small blood vessel there was no other secondary damage, and we weren't considering it as a blow from the surgery.

Unless the renal artery or the inferior vena cava is cut, the blood pressure wouldn't fluctuate this dramatically.

The anesthesiologist's first thought was that the monitor had malfunctioned.

A quick check showed nothing wrong!

At this point, the end‑tidal CO2 displayed on the ventilator had already dropped from 38 mmHg to 14 mmHg.

The ECG showed ventricular tachycardia, 122 beats per minute.

Hearing the continuous beeping alarm, Director Liu first glanced at the operating area, which was clean, and then immediately looked toward the anesthesiologist.

"What's going on?"

"Director Liu, please wait a moment." The anesthesiologist immediately stood up, began administering medication, and quickly figured out where the problem lay.

On the operating table, Director Liu and Yu Zong were not idle either; Yu Zong moved the mirror in his hand, examined everything, saw no site of persistent bleeding, the abdominal cavity was clean, and Director Liu's surgery was still top-notch.

What the hell is going on?!

Not finding the problem is even scarier than finding it!

Yu Zong went blank in an instant, cold sweat burst forth, soaking his Sterile Cap, even the Isolation Gown was drenched, sticking clammily to his skin, but Yu Zong didn't notice at all.

He racked his brains trying to figure out what had happened—how could a patient who had been walking in fine before surgery suddenly just give out like that?!

"The leads are fine, it's not interference." The anesthesiologist's assistant quickly checked the leads again, found nothing wrong, and reported back.

The anesthesiologist also froze, watching the heart rate continue to rise, the sharp alarm sound feeling like it was about to pierce his eardrums.
