After a long while, Zheng Ren regained his composure and brought his hands to his mouth, trying to warm himself by exhaling onto them.

When he ensured the patients’ conditions were stable and warmth was finally returning to his body, he changed his clothes and went to bed. Three uneventful days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Ren hurried upstairs and saw Xie Yiren in the master bedroom on the second floor, sitting on the ground and holding her head in confusion.

Zheng Ren probed the pseudocyst to assess the situation. He wanted to know if there were multiple cysts or signs of malignancy. It was standard procedure to rule out the possibility of ripping a vessel on the tumor. There were no signs of malignancy or bleeding, so Zheng Ren started to connect the pseudocyst to the stomach. He used the size 0 catgut suture to stitch the pseudocyst to the posterior wall of the stomach. Then, using a 1-0 suture, he performed an interrupted inverted suture to…

There was no time for blunt dissection. Zheng Ren’s scalpel cut through skin, subcutaneous tissues and adipose layers. Then, he parted the muscles with blunt instruments. A moment later, the peritoneum was visible. The doctors on Xinglin Garden understood the urgency behind Zheng Ren’s cruel incision but it did not stop their hearts from jumping up to their throats. In the early days of surgery, speed was of utmost importance as there was no anesthesia. There had been an amputation…

Disappointment bubbled in the audience when they found out the surgery livestream was no longer recorded. Regardless of the outcome, the surgeries broadcast on this site were worth a thousand replays. only had their hybrid operating rooms after the expansion.] Comments were sparse as most doctors were focused on the ongoing surgery.

Unlike a dextrose solution, low molecular weight dextran and amino acid solution—abbreviated to LMH Dextran—was a colloid and a necessity in fluid resuscitation. Many disliked the usage of LMH Dextran due to the rare possibility of an allergic reaction. However, under current circumstances where plasma and red blood cells had not been delivered, it was the correct decision to administer dextrose solution and LMH Dextran at the same time. As for the allergic reaction... Rather than worrying…

Zheng Ren instantly panicked upon hearing Xie Yiren’s despairing wail. His heart rate skyrocketed to 145 beats per minute, and his systolic pressure shot up to nearly ten centimeters above his height. “Calm down, what’s wrong? Speak slowly.” He forcibly suppressed his discomfort and consoled Xie Yiren. “Zheng Ren, Miao Xiaohua is dying. Please come quickly!” said Xie Yiren, her speech disorganized and her logical thought process in disarray as she continued to wail regardless of whether…
