Chapter 786: with translation of chapter title

Not only the lungs, but even the pericardium has been affected.

Not only the lungs, but even the pericardium has been affected.

If I were on stage... everyone, whether or not they are thoracic surgeons, would have this thought.

Translation: "If I were up there…… every person, whether or not they are a thoracic surgeon, would have this thought." Keep.

Putting myself in their shoes, if it were me, the surgery would likely take at least four hours, and I might not even be able to complete it.

Translation: "Putting myself in their shoes, if it were me, the surgery would likely take at least four hours, and I might not even be able to complete it."

"Prepare to open the mediastinum," Zheng Ren said calmly.

Translation: '"Prepare to open the mediastinum." Zheng Ren said calmly.'

Su Yun nodded, he had already prepared.

Translation: "Su Yun nodded; he had already made his preparations."

Watching Zheng Ren assist, he seemed to have gained new insights, and his level as an assistant has improved.

Translation: "Watching Zheng Ren act as assistant, he seemed to have gained new insights, and his assistant-level skills also improved."

As he reached out, just about to ask the instrument nurse for the long forceps, Su Yun's phone in his pocket rang.

Translation: "As he reached out, just about to ask the instrument nurse for the long forceps, Su Yun's phone in his pocket rang."

"Director Dong, could you take this call for me?" Su Yun said.

Translation: '"Director Dong, could you take this call for me?" Su Yun said.'

"Oh." Dong Jia reluctantly looked at the surgical field, pulled out Su Yun's phone from the pocket behind his butt, answered it, and put it to Su Yun's ear.

Translation: '"Oh." Dong Jia looked reluctantly at the operating field, reached into the pocket behind Su Yun's buttocks, pulled out the phone, answered it, and held it to Su Yun's ear.'

"Yiren, you're here." Su Yun said.

Translation: '"Yi Ren, you're here." Su Yun said.'

"I'm on stage with the boss, I had someone else pick you up."

Translation: '"The boss and I are on the table; I had someone else come get you."'

After saying that, Su Yun glanced at Dong Jia.

Translation: "Having said that, Su Yun glanced at Dong Jia."

Dong Jia felt sorrow surge like a river in his heart.

Translation: "Dong Jia's heart was flooded with sorrow."

More than ten people were watching the surgery, crowding around the operating table tightly. Because I arrived early, my spot is a decent second-tier position.

Translation: "More than ten people were watching the surgery, packing tightly around the operating table. Because I arrived early, my spot was a second‑class good place."

Even if I needed to urinate now, I'd have to hold it.

Translation: "Even if I needed to urinate now, I'd have to hold it."

If I leave and come back, even a stool might not be enough; I'd have to stand on a small round stool to see.

Translation: "If I left, coming back I might not even have a stool; I'd have to stand on a small round stool to see."

And if anyone in front makes a move, he already imagines himself falling, his head hitting the corner of the suction device.

Translation: "And if anyone in front made a move, his imagination already pictured himself falling, his head striking the corner of the suction device."

Head trauma, scalp laceration, epidural hematoma...

Translation: "Head trauma, scalp laceration, epidural hematoma…"

I don't want to go...

Translation: "I don't want to go…"

Dong Jia's thought remained just a thought; he didn't even get a chance to speak before being overcome by Su Yun's gaze.

Translation: "Dong Jia's thought remained just a thought; he never got a chance to speak before being overcome by Su Yun's gaze."

Forget it, I'll just go pick them up honestly.

Translation: "Forget it; I'll just go honestly and pick them up."

"Brother Yun, are you a thoracic surgeon or a general surgeon?" Dong Jia asked as he turned to leave.

Translation: '"Yun Ge'er, are you a thoracic surgeon or a general surgeon?" Dong Jia turned to leave, asking casually.'

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yun said while gripping a piece of tissue with the long forceps to expose the field for Zheng Ren, adding, "He's the boss's instrument nurse."

Translation: '"What are you thinking about?" Su Yun, while gripping a piece of tissue with the long forceps to expose the field for Zheng Ren, said: "It's the boss's instrument nurse."'

"「……」"

Translation: '"……"'

"「……」"

Translation: '"……"'

"「……」"

Translation: '"……"'

The air in the operating room was as still as death.

Translation: "The air in the operating room was deathly still."

Is this the standard setup for a Nobel Prize candidate? As an interventional medicine doctor, doing general and thoracic surgery doesn't count; even to go on stage I have to bring my own assistant.

Translation: "Is this the standard setup for a Nobel Prize nominee? As an Intervention Department doctor, doing general and thoracic surgery doesn't count; on stage I even have to bring my own assistant."

I could tolerate all that, but they even have to bring their own instrument nurse...

Translation: "I could tolerate those, but they even have to bring their own instrument nurse……"

Many big shots in 912 envy and resent this.

Translation: "The many big shots in 912 are envious and jealous."

Some people do bring assistants and instrument nurses when they go out flying knives, but that's just bullying outsiders. In 912, who would dare do that?

Translation: "Some people do bring assistants and instrument nurses when they go out flying knives, but that's just bullying outsiders. In 912, who would dare do that?"

When this person appeared before everyone's eyes, there should have been an outraged outcry, but seeing the surgery before them, everyone fell silent.

Translation: "When this person appeared before everyone's eyes, there should have been an uproar of condemnation, but seeing the surgery before them, everyone fell silent."

In the operating room, for this rare surgery, the instrument nurse can't keep up with the pace—that's an undeniable fact.

Translation: "The operating room's rare surgery, the instrument nurse can't keep up with the pace—this is an indisputable fact."

But if we swapped in a dedicated instrument nurse, would that be enough?

Translation: "But if we switched to a dedicated instrument nurse, would that be enough?"

Dong Jia froze for a moment, then, behaving obediently, he slipped out of the crowd.

Translation: "Dong Jia stared for a moment, he obediently had nothing to say, and slipped out of the crowd."

As soon as he moved, his spot was immediately filled by someone else.

Translation: "As soon as he moved, his spot was immediately filled by someone else."

"Director Dong, remember to tell the operating room head nurse," Su Yun's voice came from the crowd.

Translation: '"Director Dong, remember to tell the Head Nurse of the operating room." Su Yun's voice came from within the crowd.'

"Okay." Dong Jia felt like crying but had no tears.

Translation: '"Okay." Dong Jia wanted to cry but had no tears.'

Why does this high‑difficulty task fall on me again? How do I tell the operating room head nurse? Are you saying my subordinates' instrument nurse can't keep up, so the surgeon has to bring his own?

Translation: "Why does this high‑difficulty task fall on me again? How do I tell the Head Nurse of the operating room? Are you saying your instrument nurse can't keep up with the table, so the surgeon brings their own?"

That's asking for a beating—I'd end up with a bruised nose and swollen face. These are small things; I just fear that later, when I go into surgery, I'll be met with only scorn.

Translation: "That's asking for a beating—I'd end up with a bruised nose and swollen face. These are small things; I just fear that in future surgeries, I'll be met with only white eyes."

No, this kind of thing must be passed off—at least a director‑level person needs to make the call.

Translation: "No, this kind of thing must be passed off; at least a director‑level person needs to make the call."

Dong Jia is someone who knows his limits; he instantly grasped the reality—what he can and cannot do is clear to him.

Translation: "Dong Jia is someone who knows his limits; he instantly grasped the reality. He clearly knows what he can and cannot do."

Walking out of the operating room and opening the door, a 22‑ or 23‑year‑old girl stood at the entrance, her shoulder‑length hair falling over a plain white outfit, gentle, beautiful, and delicate.

Translation: "Walking out of the operating room all the way, opening the big door, a 22‑ or 23‑year‑old girl stood at the entrance, her shawl‑length hair falling over a plain white dress, gentle and beautiful, soft and lovely."

Um...

Translation: "Um……"

Dong Jia was stunned.

Translation: "Dong Jia froze."

Having an instrument nurse is fine, I could tolerate that—but why bring a goddess‑like girl to be the instrument nurse? That's going too far!

Translation: "Having an instrument nurse is bearable, but why find a goddess‑like girl to be the instrument nurse? This is too much!"

But after only a second of shock, he smiled and asked, "May I ask if you are Yiren?"

Translation: "But he only stared for a second, then smiled and asked, 'May I ask if you are Yi Ren?'"

"Hello, I'm Xie Yiren." Xie Yiren smiled and said.

Translation: '"Hello, I am Xie Yiren." Xie Yiren smiled and said.'

Her smile bloomed, and Dong Jia felt the cold operating room fill with flowers.

Translation: "Her smile blossomed, and Dong Jia felt the cold operating room fill with flowers."

This time it wasn't just envy and jealousy; a faint hatred began to surface.

Translation: "This time it wasn't just envy and jealousy; a faint hatred surfaced."

Grind, grind—his back teeth clenched tightly.

Translation: "Grind, grind, his back teeth clenched tightly."

"What did you say?" Xie Yiren heard the voice and thought Dong Jia was speaking.

Translation: '"What did you say?" Xie Yiren heard the voice and thought Dong Jia was speaking.'

"Um... nothing, please come in." Dong Jia hurriedly said, "This is the women's changing room; I don't know what it's like inside since I've never gone in... here's the key—call me if you need anything."

Translation: '"Um… nothing, please come in, please come in." Dong Jia hurriedly said, "This is the women's changing room; I don't know what's inside—I've never gone in… here's the key, just call out if you need anything."'

Hmm.

Translation: '"Hmm."'

"The operating room is at Room Six, the hybrid operating table; I'll be waiting for you at the door." Dong Jia spoke unusually much, several times his normal amount.

Translation: '"The operating room is at Liushou, the hybrid operating table; I'll wait for you at the door." Dong Jia's words were unusually many, several times his usual.'

Xie Yiren gave a charming smile, nodded, took the key, and entered the changing room.

Translation: "Xie Yiren smiled sweetly, nodded, took the key, and entered the changing room."

If only I had such a beautiful dedicated instrument nurse... like a domineering CEO who needs a beautiful secretary by his side.

Translation: "If only I had such a beautiful dedicated instrument nurse…… just like a domineering CEO who needs a beautiful secretary by his side."

Dong Jia's thoughts began to run wild.

Translation: "Dong Jia's thoughts began to run wild."

But people, after all, will occasionally indulge in fantasy, then quickly return to reality.

Translation: "But people, after all, will occasionally indulge in fantasy, then quickly return to reality."

Dedicated equipment nurses, a species even rarer than pandas…… Dong Jia won't even think of it in this lifetime.

Even our big director doesn't have it, what the hell gives me the right to have it?

Sigh, Boss Zheng really has good fortune; Dong Jia didn't leave, but stood at the changing room door waiting for Xie Yiren to change clothes, then escorted her inside.

A few minutes later, Xie Yiren had changed and walked out.

Dong Jia suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said, "This way."

"What kind of surgery is this?" Xie Yiren asked.

"'Hydatid disease of the liver, invading the right kidney, right lung, pericardium, and inferior vena cava.' Dong Jia said, 'We've already reached the pericardium.'"

"'Oh.' Xie Yiren replied flatly."

"'Have you ever instrumented a case?' Dong Jia asked in surprise."

"This rare disease—I've never seen it before either; could this little nurse named Xie Yiren have seen it? Unlikely."

"'No.' Xie Yiren said, 'But I just watch what Zheng Ren wants and hand it over—it's not that hard.'"

: "「……」" No.

"'Knowing what he wants and being a little quicker than him is enough.' Xie Yiren said matter‑of‑factly."

Dong Jia heard that and immediately broke down.

What Xie Yiren said, Dong Jia had never heard before, but it's easy to understand—the literal meaning suffices.

This is about understanding the surgeon's various habits, then looking at the operative field, judging what the surgeon needs, and preparing the instruments half a step ahead, right?

This requires a lot of tacit understanding...

This can't be let other directors hear—this kind of soulful assistant, who wouldn't want one? But if every director asked the operating room head nurse for such an instrument nurse, the OR would collapse outright.

This is an exception, this is an exception, it's the privilege of a Nobel Prize Nominee, Dong Jia kept telling herself in her heart, brainwashing herself.
