Chapter 463: Chapter 340: Surgery Complete, the Man Who Keeps Collapsing

Two days later, 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

outside the pediatric operating room, Ye Xue and her mother watched as the child was pushed inside.

In the adjacent observation room, more than a dozen figures stood; all of them were pediatricians at or above the attending level.

This time, the surgery for the esophageal atresia also caught the attention of many people, including those from thoracic and general surgery.

Even from the emergency department, Qin Feng brought two people over to observe and learn in the operating room.

"Director Qin, everything is ready."

Director Chen glanced at the time and smiled at Qin Feng.

"Alright, both directors, let’s go."

Saying this, Qin Feng stood up, hands in the pockets of his white coat, and walked towards the operating room.

Seven or eight attending doctors from three departments followed behind the three directors, each with a look of excitement on their faces.

They were the assistants this time and the only ones allowed to enter the operating room for observation, which was much better than those in the observation room.

"Doctor, doctor, you must save him."

Just appearing in the corridor of the operating room, Ye Xue rushed to Qin Feng and his group.

"Don’t worry, we’ll do our best."

Qin Feng nodded and then led the group into the operating room.

Washing and disinfecting, changing into surgical clothes, pushing open the operating room door.

"Patient’s physiological indices."

"Indices are normal, anesthesia can be administered."

"Begin anesthesia."

With that, the anesthesiology doctor quickly began administering anesthesia.

Soon, the infant was anesthetized.

"Current time, 9:37 AM, October 8th, 2023, the patient is a 2-month-old infant, esophageal replacement surgery..."

Qin Feng glanced at the time and then spoke,

"Director Chen, Director Shi, you start first."

"Okay."

Chen Jiang and Shi Hongxing nodded and stepped up, accompanied by the first and second assistants.

"Scalpel."

...

About an hour and a half later, after the chest opening and esophagus extraction were completed, Shi Hongxing stepped aside, and Qin Feng took the stage.

Beginning the most crucial part of the esophageal replacement.

Four hours later, the surgery was successfully completed.

...

This operation lasted a total of five and a half hours; the infant’s physiological indices remained stable, with no complications.

With a clang~

As Director Shi Hongxing finished stitching the skin, the surgery was declared a success.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiang had been thoroughly impressed by Qin Feng’s precise and perfect suturing; even if he could have completed the surgery himself, he admitted he couldn’t reach such a level.

The original 7-8 hour-long process was compressed by an hour and a half, with no issues at all.

Such clinical skills might be hard to find among the top surgeons in the country!

...

With the surgery concluded, Ye Xue’s concerns also came to an end.

The infant was successfully registered and received a birth certificate; next, after some recovery with no issues, the baby could be transferred to a lower-level hospital for further recuperation until fully recovered.

As for Lu Sheng, Zhang Qingquan told him that he seemed to have compensated the family with a large sum of money, and then took the body away.

The one who hit Lu Sheng was a semi-trailer truck with full insurance coverage.

It violated regulations by entering the city outside permitted hours, causing this tragedy.

But the outcome was no longer related to them.

In just a few days, this news was overshadowed by other gossip.

...

At midnight,

Qin Feng began his night shift, which he particularly enjoyed.

In fact, compared to day shifts, Qin Feng felt that night shifts were the essence of the emergency department.

After all, all sorts of bizarre cases occur at night!

At half-past twelve, a drunken individual was brought in; while the nurse was giving him an IV in the emergency room, he groggily mumbled,

"First... start with the feet, why are you so unprofessional?"

The medical staff present almost burst out laughing.

He mistook the emergency room for a foot massage parlor!

...

And just as everyone settled down, starting to yawn in drowsiness,

in a dimly lit rental room several kilometers away, a somewhat skinny young figure was typing rapidly at a computer.

He was a freelance writer on a self-media platform, and late at night was when his thoughts and inspirations flowed most freely.

So staying up late became a habit, pulling all-nighters even more so.

Today, the man planned to stay up all night again.

However, his body didn’t feel quite right, perhaps he had eaten something bad; from afternoon to night, he had already had diarrhea three or four times.

He bought the cheapest montmorillonite powder and drank it twice but it still didn’t stop the diarrhea.

But he didn’t mind, thinking of trying to buy some norfloxacin capsules tomorrow.

The man felt dizzy, his head heavy and swollen, his body weak, and his mind blank.

He stopped what he was doing, thinking he might be hypoglycemic.

"Where are my biscuits? Oh, here they are."

The man took a half-eaten pack of soda biscuits from a nearby drawer, looked at his empty water cup, and intended to get a refill.

As soon as he stood up, before he could pick up the cup, his legs suddenly gave way, and he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he grabbed the back of a chair, preventing a complete fall.

"Must be the diarrhea acting up, how troublesome."

The man stood up, feeling his legs weak, and sighed softly.

He took a bottle of mineral water from the door and returned to the table, eating a few biscuits and drinking half a bottle of cold water.

Before he could type a few lines, his stomach rumbled again.

The man frowned, took a tissue from the table, and walked out of the cramped room towards the communal restroom.

Just as he reached the door, his legs weakened, and he collapsed to the floor.

"Shit!"

He shouted in pain, then got up.

He struggled to the bathroom, finally relieved himself, stood up, pushed open the stall door, and stepped out.

Thud!

Suddenly, everything went black, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Huff, huff, huff."

The man lay there for a long time, breathing heavily, his face filled with fear.

He panicked!
