Chapter 71

The next day, Ye Qiu went to work.

As soon as he arrived at the clinic, a nurse ran over and said urgently, "Doctor Ye, Director Bai has called you to her office."

"Did Director Bai say why she needs me?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Director Bai didn't say, but I guess it's probably related to the patient we admitted this morning."

"What patient?"

"This morning, we admitted a patient who was covered in injuries, and his condition is very serious. Director Bai and several experts are discussing the surgical plan."

"Alright, I understand."

Ye Qiu put on his white coat and quickly walked to the director's office. Just as he was about to knock, the door opened, and Bai Bing quickly walked out.

"Director Bai, you called for me?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Ye Qiu, you came just in time. Follow me to the operating room," Bai Bing said as she walked. "There's a surgery coming up, and I need you as my assistant."

"Alright."

Ye Qiu followed Bai Bing straight to the operating room.

When they reached the entrance, Ye Qiu noticed that several of the most skilled experts in surgery were there, all with serious expressions.

What's going on?

Ye Qiu was puzzled. These authoritative experts usually only have one or two clinic days a week and rarely gather together. Yet, they were all here today, which could only mean that either the patient's condition was very severe or the patient's identity was very special.

Either way, it indicated that today's surgery would not be simple.

Sure enough, Bai Bing said, "Experts, today's surgery is a great challenge for us. I appreciate your hard work."

"Director Bai, saving lives is our duty. It's not a matter of hard work," said an expert with glasses.

"Then I won't say more. Let's wish for the success of the surgery."

The group changed into sterile gowns and entered the operating room one by one.

When Ye Qiu entered, he saw the anesthesiologist and five or six staff members, all prepared for the surgery.

The patient was a young man lying on the operating table.

Ye Qiu glanced at him.

Sigh...

He drew in a sharp breath.

The young man was covered in injuries, and these were not ordinary injuries; they were gunshot and knife wounds.

Several of them were fatal.

It was a miracle that the young man was still alive.

At this moment, Ye Qiu understood why Bai Bing had called in the authoritative experts. The surgery was extremely difficult, and it was uncertain whether the young man could even survive until the end of the surgery.

Bai Bing said, "The patient's injuries are severe, so we must act quickly. According to the surgical plan we've set, I and the experts will operate on the patient simultaneously. If there are no objections, let's start now?"

"Alright, let's start!"

The surgery officially began.

As an assistant, Ye Qiu's task was to assist Bai Bing. Whenever Bai Bing removed a bullet from the patient, he quickly wiped away the blood with gauze, disinfected the area with alcohol, and then sutured the wound before moving on to the next one.

Time passed slowly.

One hour.

Two hours.

The surgery proceeded in an orderly manner.

Three hours later.

Finally, Bai Bing and the experts stopped.

So far, they had removed seventeen bullets from the young man's body and sutured nine knife wounds.

"Director Bai, there are only two fatal wounds left," one expert said.

Another expert added, "One of these fatal wounds is near the heart, and the other is near the carotid artery. Both are difficult to treat."

"I don't want to sound pessimistic, but the success rate for these two surgeries is very low," another expert said.

"Regardless of the success rate, we must treat them," said an elderly expert with gray hair. "We've come this far, and we can't give up."

"I'm not suggesting we give up. I'm saying that these two fatal wounds are in very special locations. If the patient experiences major bleeding during the surgery, it will be very troublesome," another expert said.

Bai Bing said, "No matter how troublesome, we must treat them. We are doctors, and our purpose is to save lives, isn't it?"

"Director Bai, you're right. However, I suggest we prepare a contingency plan before the surgery. The possibility of major bleeding during the surgery is high," an expert said.

Another expert added, "Although the previous part of the surgery went smoothly, the remaining two fatal wounds are very challenging. Any mistake could lead to the patient's death. It's necessary to have a contingency plan."

The elderly expert with gray hair said, "But if we prepare a contingency plan now, we might not have enough time."

Bai Bing frowned. This was indeed a troublesome matter. After some thought, she made a quick decision.

"Time waits for no one. Continue the surgery. If the patient experiences major bleeding, we will provide emergency treatment."

With that, Bai Bing began to remove the bullets from the patient.

Seeing her take action, the other experts also began.

Since the two bullets were only one millimeter away from the carotid artery and the heart, Bai Bing and the experts were very cautious, and the process of removing the bullets was extremely slow.

The atmosphere in the operating room became tense.

Thirty minutes later.

Bai Bing finally removed the bullet from the patient's wound, and her frown slightly eased.

Immediately, "ding," the experts removed the bullet near the patient's heart and placed it on the tray beside them.

"Phew~"

Several people let out a long sigh, looking at each other with smiles on their faces.

The surgery was successful!

"Clean the wound! Prepare to suture!"

After giving the instructions, Bai Bing and the experts stepped back, handing the operating table over to the assistants.

Ye Qiu immediately stepped forward to clean the patient's wound. Suddenly, a jet of blood spurted from the patient's wound, splashing all over Ye Qiu's hands.

Major bleeding!

Before Ye Qiu could react, another female assistant exclaimed, "Oh no, the patient is bleeding heavily."

Ye Qiu quickly applied hemostatic measures and looked up to see that the wound near the patient's heart was also bleeding profusely, with blood gushing out like water, clearly indicating a ruptured blood vessel.

Bai Bing said urgently, "Stop the bleeding."

"The bleeding won't stop."

"Even if it won't stop, we must try..."

The female assistant, on the verge of tears, said, "It still won't stop. Director Bai, please think of a solution."

"Let me try." An expert stepped forward.

"Move aside." Bai Bing pushed Ye Qiu aside and took over.

However, neither Bai Bing nor the expert could stop the bleeding.

"Bad, the patient's heartbeat is rapidly weakening."

"The blood pressure is also dropping sharply."

"We must provide emergency treatment immediately."

The situation was critical.

At this moment, Ye Qiu said, "Director Bai, let me try!"
