Chapter 1697: Rushing Out the Door

Seeing the family off.

Seated, Student Xie noticed Student Geng staring at her.

In Student Geng’s eyes was written: Student Xie is quite articulate. Previously, when she stood up to speak, he couldn’t have guessed what she might say. This should be an advantage female doctors have.

Actually, it’s not. Student Geng, like the class monitor, is a bit reserved. Xie Wanying thought, if Student Pan were here, he would probably speak even better. Student Pan is very good at comforting patients.

Ahem, Doctor Leigh wet his lips, ready to see the next patient, when suddenly the phone in his white coat pocket rang. He took it out to answer.

"Yes, yes, what did you say is the issue?" Doctor Lee Yuen’s expression was serious as he listened to the situation reported over the phone.

"Doctor Leigh, Doctor Yuan asked me to notify you to go to the operating room immediately; the patient has encountered unexpected circumstances."

An emergency notice from the operating room or ward seeking help from a superior only means one thing: the patient is in critical condition.

Rescue operations in the operating room are a big deal. The morning clinic abruptly halted.

Doctors always prioritize emergencies to save lives. Without any delay, Doctor Leigh dashed out upon receiving the call. Xie Wanying and Geng Yongzhe followed close behind Teacher Leigh, needing to jog a little, otherwise they would struggle to keep up with the ailing Teacher Leigh.

Some senior teachers have cultivated the habit of neglecting their own ailments as a professional hazard.

The three of them pounded up the emergency staircase, not taking the elevator, to reach the second-floor operating room.

The Reproductive Technology Center has a dedicated operating room. Entering this room is no different from others; one must change clothes, put on a cap, swap shoes for slippers, wear an operating room mask, and then proceed to the surgery being performed on the patient.

"Doctor Leigh is here." From afar, the nurse loudly informed the others inside the operating room.

With the boss here, everyone should feel more at ease.

"How many milliliters of blood loss?" Teacher Leigh asked the anesthesiologist about the patient’s latest status upon entering the operating room.

The anesthesiologist, constantly monitoring the patient’s vital signs, immediately reported: "Blood loss is nearly three hundred. Emergency blood transfusions are underway. The patient’s blood pressure hasn’t increased, and the heart rate is fast."

The electrocardiogram monitor beside the surgical bed beeped with fluctuating digital graphs. Lying on the operating table, the patient, under general anesthesia, had poor circulation due to hypothermia. His complexion was already poor, and now, after sudden massive bleeding, his whole face was bluish-white, dry, and cold like a dead person’s.

Seeing this, people’s hearts felt cold.

Three doctors performing the surgery and a nurse in the operating room were drenched in sweat, the backs of their surgical gowns soaking large patches. There’s no difference between male and female surgeons; in such situations, anxiety is intense. It’s a life-or-death moment, as the patient neared a state of shock. Intraoperative sudden massive bleeding is dreaded by all surgeons, and it’s the same in every surgical procedure.

Judging from the surgery’s condition, it goes without saying the first patient must not have been strong enough. Surgeries are always unpredictable; if they were, patients wouldn’t need to sign preoperative informed consent forms. Common procedures performed by the chief surgeon only minimize the chances of unexpected incidents; the rest is up to the patient’s luck.

What kind of surgery is this? In these emergency circumstances, teachers can’t give explanations to students; not a word, relying entirely on students to understand and learn on their own.

Without the teacher’s permission, the two students absolutely wouldn’t dare approach the sterile area near the operating table, instinctively standing in the corner so as not to hinder the teacher in aiding the patient, observing and learning with their eyes.
