Although it didn’t work out in the end, I still want to thank Old Yu for his help.
"Such a trivial matter, no need to thank! It’s just that the person’s fate was sealed; we even made preparations to save him, yet he insisted on being transferred to another hospital."
Old Yu’s tone was casual and indifferent.
Not caring about the help he had provided.
"Wow, I didn’t realize you two were quite familiar! Has the anesthesia kicked in?"
Director Zhang was the chief surgeon, managing the whole operation.
Old Yu checked the monitoring instruments, then examined the patient’s condition, even flipping the patient’s eyelids to check the pupils.
"You can start working now."
With the anesthesiologist’s permission, the medical staff immediately began their tasks.
You could tell this was a highly skilled team with excellent coordination.
Even their positions were silently arranged.
"The patient underwent a comprehensive preoperative examination, and my assessment of his surgical tolerance is favorable. The surgery plan has been reviewed by Dr. Li. Young man, do you have the confidence to come and open his chest?"
Director Zhang’s words startled all the medical staff present.
"Director, are you seriously considering letting him take charge?"
Only the first assistant dared to express some dissent.
Other doctors were worried but dared not easily oppose Director Zhang’s decision.
In the operating room, when the chief surgeon gets angry, even the bold circulating nurse must behave cautiously.
"If it’s not real, would it be a joke?"
Director Zhang glanced at the first assistant.
The first assistant, over forty, was instantly intimidated by this powerful gaze.
"Director Zhang, I think this is a bit risky! He’s still so young and just a newly promoted orthopedic attending physician; it’s hard to say whether he has enough surgical experience. The risk of opening the chest is very high by itself, we should be more cautious for safety’s sake."
The circulating nurse voiced her concerns.
As her duty, any issue that might impact surgical safety must be raised.
Possibly worried that her words would not carry enough weight, given that Director Zhang is not only the academic leader in cardiothoracic surgery but also the department head, with dual positions pressuring like a mountain.
"Dr. Yu, you are the safety leader here. You can’t agree to this!"
Doctors and nurses who manage to survive and do well in the hospital have exceptionally strong communication skills and emotional intelligence.
She also pulled Dr. Yu into the conversation.
Placing the safety responsibility onto Dr. Yu.
If Old Yu could persuade Director Zhang, it would immediately stop this reckless behavior.
Unexpectedly, Old Yu didn’t even lift his head, saying "As long as Li Jingsheng dares to agree, it means he’s confident. You and I don’t need to worry unnecessarily; just focus on your respective duties."
The circulating nurse was instantly overwhelmed.
Trying to pull an ally to speak up, but instead, it backfired.
