Chapter 846: [(846)] Perfect Ending Chapter 846: [(846)] Perfect Ending What are these two doing? He Jiuliang’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

Any surgeon would want to be the Chief Surgeon on the operating table; these two new guys must have lost their minds. Especially the Chief Surgeon, who was actually yielding to the First Assistant. If a surgical team worked like this, what was the point of distinguishing between the Chief Surgeon and the other assistants?

It seemed that these two individuals had no intention of competing on the operating table at all, and the hospital leadership’s calculations might have been wasted.

He Jiuliang turned his head to look at Tao Zhijie.

As expected, Tao Zhijie had a deep, thoughtful expression beneath his smiling, warm eyes.

This wasn’t the scene or outcome that President Wu and the others had hoped for.

To say these two were distracted was an understatement, but the surgery was being conducted with great care.

The resection of the pancreas was one of the critical steps during the procedure. The pancreatic ducts and blood vessels needed to be exposed and individually ligated to fully stop the bleeding. Where the Chief Surgeon wasn’t quite proficient, the First Assistant stepped up to tie the knots. Likewise, when the First Assistant couldn’t compress the blood flow, the Chief Surgeon’s clamp took over.

Their cooperation was seamless, to the point where it was nearly impossible to tell who was the Chief Surgeon and who was the First Assistant.

The intraoperative pathology analysis results were back, indicating a borderline tumor, which meant that the attempt to preserve the spleen was correct. Margins for various excisions were sent for pathology, and the results were temporarily negative. The operation took over two hours, with the time consumed by pathology and the corresponding surgical resection.

Since the most likely complication following pancreatic surgery is a fistula, ensuring adequate drainage is vital. Placement of the drainage tube inside the body is a crucial issue, and the two newcomers deliberated over it again.

Tao Zhijie, going out to inform the patient’s family about the operation, rubbed the palms of his hands and wore a pensive frown. His solemn demeanor as he walked led others to assume the surgical outcome was poor.

The patient’s family received the news and waited in the ward ahead of time.

After awakening, the patient was escorted back to the ward by the anesthesiologist.

“How could her father and I possibly abandon her?” Mother Yaxi stood at the foot of her daughter’s bed to defend herself. “Her father was overseas when he found out she was sick. He went to look for friends to inquire about a cure abroad before he could return. It was after consulting with him that we thought, if she was seriously ill and needed long-term care, we, being older, might not be able to look after her. That’s why we thought about having another child, whether a brother or sister for her. Besides, isn’t it said that the umbilical cord can cure cancer patients?”

The doctors listened to the family’s words without comment – after all, they had done their duty by completing the surgery.

The patient had not fully regained consciousness and probably didn’t hear what the family said.

It’s said that Chief Surgeon Doctor Song went back to his office to write up medical orders and record the medical history; there was no need for her. After taking care of bed 21, Xie Wanying also checked on Yangyang’s Mom in bed 20. After taking cardiology medication for the past few days, Yangyang’s Mom’s condition had improved, which sparked the idea of possibly exploring a curative treatment plan further.

After seeing the patients, Xie Wanying returned to the doctors’ office. Since she hadn’t attended the department meeting earlier that morning, she only learned then that a large group of clinical interns had arrived today.

In the afternoon, the department decided to hold a spot test for the interns so the teachers could assess their knowledge and arrange their learning tasks accordingly.

Senior Tao had let this slip out over the weekend.

He Xiangyu came running, pitter-patter, to find her and complained, “That Buddha actually remembered, knowing I was off today. He even made a special call at noon to remind me. Can you believe how grudgeful he is?”
