Since the chief surgeon holding the fetal head canât push it, pushing would only make it descend, so they can only rely on the assistant to press the uterine fundus.
Doctor Peng, who was speaking, was a bit worried about whether Student Xie could handle it alone and push forcefully again. If she wasnât afraid of messing things up, she would have joined in already. Mainly, because she was sure she had used the wrong direction when she pushed for so long without effect.
Director Yoo also glanced at Student Xie: Can you push again?
She can. In this regard, Geng Yongzhe obviously felt there was no doubt. Based on the pry force transmitted to his hand, he could feel that Student Xie still had reserve strength. Also, who in the class didnât know that Student Xieâs arm strength from practicing on the horizontal bar surpassed many boys.
Pushing relies on arm strength. Donât be fooled by Student Xieâs seemingly slender fingers; her biceps are actually very well-developed.
The pair of eyes peeking through the window of the operating room seemed to widen in an attempt to precisely capture the actions inside, much like a camera.
Contrary to everyoneâs imagination, no one saw Xie Wanying showing the gritting teeth, frowning, sweat-breaking expressions of exertion. She merely continued to look in the direction of the retractor in Student Gengâs hand, adjusting the force direction of her palm sideways without increasing the force. As soon as she finished this adjustment, the fetusâs head was fully delivered from the motherâs uterus.
Whoosh!
Doctor Peng, who was closest, felt like her eyes were about to pop out in disbelief.
A gleam flashed in Director Yooâs eyes, he quickly used his fingers to clear the fluid from the babyâs mouth and nose, and shouted, "Continue!"
The eyes outside the operating room window almost pressed against the glass, staring intently: the miraculous surgery scene before them was truly rare to see.
Director Yoo grasped both sides of the fetal head, tilting the babyâs neck to one side. Continuing to push, one shoulder of the baby emerged through the incision, then redirecting the pull allowed the other shoulder to be delivered. Director Yoo then pulled outward, and the baby was finally fully out of the motherâs body. Cut the umbilical cord.
The lively baby breathed on its own and cried out loudly.
Hearing the babyâs cries, Doctor Peng exhaled deeply, wiping the sweat from her body. She looked at the clock again, confirming the time with the anesthesiologist: Thankfully, the entire delivery process took only seven to eight minutes, just in time.
The smoothness of the process stood in stark contrast to the difficult resistance at the start, leaving people astounded.
It was thanks to Student Xie. Doctor Peng turned back to smile at Student Xie across from her. What are talented individuals? She seemed to have witnessed one tonight.
The placenta was removed, and the uterus was checked for abnormalities. The doctors sutured the uterus and abdominal wall, needing to sew seven layers.
Soon after hearing the babyâs cries, Doctor Zheng came in to check the surgery situation. Seeing someone standing outside, he was surprised, "Director Cui, why are you here? Did Director Yoo call you?"
The deputy director of general surgery rushing to the obstetrics surgical room suggested that the newborn might have a condition and that the chief surgeon called in another specialist for a consultation. Like most comprehensive level three hospitals, Beidou Third Hospital doesnât have a separate pediatric surgery department, so any issues with the child need to be checked by general surgery first.
Seeing Cui Shaofeng, who was intently supporting his chin with his hand, he had to turn around upon hearing the voice. Facing Doctor Zheng, he slightly nodded and, seeing the otherâs tense face, clarified with denial, "No."
If the child wasnât in trouble and not here for a consultation, then why was he here? Doctor Zhengâs mind couldnât wrap around it: A deputy director, a department leader, why would he come here without reason to wander around?
