Chapter 788: Zi Yi Operating For Patriarch Lu
Military Hospital.
When Zi Yi was pulled into the operating room by Elder Hu and Elder Tang, the people waiting inside the room were all surprised.
One of the middle-aged men asked, “Elder Hu, Elder Tang. Is Zi Yi going to be the chief surgeon for Patriarch Lu?”
“No.”
Elder Hu glanced at Zi Yi and said to one of them, “Go grab a chair and bring it over here.”
Even though the person did not know what the chair was for, he still brought over a chair.
The chair was placed directly in front of the operating table and Elder Hu said, “Little Zi, you can sit there. The film shows that Old Lu has a cerebral hemorrhage. I’ll operate and you can tell me what to do.”
Elder Tang, standing beside them, chimed in and said, “Girl, if you’re hungry or thirsty, feel free to say so. I’ll get someone to go out and buy some food and drinks for you.”
Hearing what the two elders said, the chief doctor and a.s.sistants were even more shocked.
In their military hospital, Zi Yi was a legendary figure. In particular, the video of her last live broadcast where she had treated eight different patients with strange diseases was used as learning material by all the doctors.
Even if some of them doubted if she was really as skilled as what she seemed to be in private, with the two legendary figures in the medical field here, they dared not utter a single word.
...
Zi Yi did not refuse and walked over to take a seat.
Elder Hu walked to the position of the chief surgeon and the chief doctor and a.s.sistants were all standing around to provide a.s.sistance. The others could only stand further away and look on.
Craniotomy was not a minor operation, The moment Elder Hu picked up the scalpel, everyone held back their breaths and dared not breathe.
However, Zi Yi spoke up. “Look under his subcutaneous tissue…”
Zi Yi would say something from time to time and Elder Hu would follow her instructions every time.
However, the two a.s.sistants next to Elder Hu were extremely stocked.
Zi Yi was actually instructing Elder Hu how to operate!
Minutes and seconds pa.s.sed by.
When Patriarch Lu’s blood pressure dropped drastically and his heart stopped beating, everyone became serious.
“No good, Little Zi. Quick, come here!”
The moment Elder Hu called for Zi Yi, the chief surgeon and a.s.sistants standing next to him had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Zi Yi stood up and walked over to look at Patriarch Lu whose complexion turned pale and the wound on his head was spurting out blood.
She said, “His head had been severely damaged before and coupled with how he has always been in a violent mood, many of the nerves and blood vessels in his brain have been damaged.
“What to do? We can’t stop the bleeding at all.”
Even Elder Hu who had experience in thousands of operations was sweating at this very moment.
The a.s.sistant quickly helped him wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Elder Tang who was standing behind Zi Yi asked, “Girl, do you have any solutions?”
“Yes.”
At this moment, the calmest person in the room was Zi Yi.
She said, “Seal his main acupuncture points and stop the blood from flowing to his brain.”
“Will that work?”
“As long as you are fast enough, nothing is impossible.” Zi Yi asked Elder Tang, “Teacher, did you bring along your silver needles?”
“I brought them.” Elder Tang quickly rummaged inside his white coat and soon, he took out a set of silver needles from his pockets.
Zi Yi said to him, “You’ll seal his acupuncture points and I’ll repair all his blood vessels.
As soon as Zi Yi said that, Elder Hu subconsciously stepped aside and asked, “Little Zi, what should I do?”
Zi Yi did not have any orders for him. Instead, she said to the chief doctor, “I need a few things from the hospital now and be quick…”
The chief doctor quickly nodded and used the internal telephone to make a quick call to have some of the other staff members of the hospital deliver the items as soon as possible.
Zi Yi was using the existing surgical instruments inside the room to give Patriarch Lu CPR. Even though she was unwilling to be the chief surgeon for him, she could not let Patriarch Lu die in Elder Hu’s hands.
Outside the operating room.
The operation had been going on for more than two hours.
The elders of the Lu Family looked even more anxious as time pa.s.sed by. The three of them found an empty s.p.a.ce and paced back and forth.
The Third Madam who was standing in the corner repeatedly touched the string of beads and chanted the Bodhisattva’s blessings.
Mrs. Lu sat there with her hands clenched tightly while Lu Yunxiao and Lu Jingye stood next to her.
Lu Ming was standing next to Lu Yunxiao and he was also clenching his hands.
Lu Zhiheng and Yang Yuelan were standing on the other side.
Yang Yuelan’s eyes were red and her appearance made it seem like she was very worried for Patriarch Lu.
Minutes and seconds pa.s.sed by.
Three hours later, Mrs. Lu could not take it anymore and said, “Why isn’t it over yet?”
The others subconsciously glanced at the operating room. Lu Jingye raised his hand and patted her shoulder. He then tried calming her down with his gentle and calm voice. “Mother, don’t worry.”
Just then, the elevator door suddenly opened and they saw a doctor pus.h.i.+ng a cart that was loaded with all sorts of medical instruments.
At the same time, the door to the operating room was opened.
The Lu Family members all gathered around.
“Director Chang, how is my father?”
How could Director Chang have the spare time to explain the specifics to them? He took the cart and said, “Patriarch Lu is in critical condition now. Little Zi will be operating on him right away.”
Having said that, he pushed the cart inside and the door to the operating room closed at the same time.
The Lu Family members were all standing outside the operating room. Lu Zhiheng said in a tone of disbelief, “Who did he say was going to operate on Grandfather?”
Yang Yuelan hastily answered, “Zi Yi!”
Both of them felt that they had heard wrongly and they looked in Lu Jingye’s direction at the same time.
Eldest Master Lu had heard that Zi Yi’s medical skills were superb but at this moment, he still maintained a skeptical att.i.tude.
“This type of operation isn’t a child’s play! How could he let Zi Yi be the chief surgeon?!”
Having said that, he got even more irritable.
Second Master Lu said with a heavy voice, “Brother, didn’t you hear Director Chang saying that Father is in a critical condition? It means that the others are all helpless to deal with the situation and only now has Zi Yi a.s.sumed the role of the chief surgeon. Do you possibly think she would be willing to operate on Father based on his att.i.tude toward her?”
Third Master Lu said, “Little Zi’s medical skills are very good. So what if she operates on Father?”
Eldest Master Lu opened his mouth. He was feeling annoyed deep down inside. Was it wrong for him to be skeptical of Zi Yi’s skills in this critical situation?
However, with a few unkind gazes in his direction, he ended up saying, “That’s not what I meant.”
Lu Jingye spoke up at this moment. “Yiyi takes her grudges seriously and she has always been reluctant to treat Grandfather. Even if she had been dragged in by Elder Hu and Elder Tang, she certainly would not do anything in the first few hours. Only if the chief surgeon is really helpless to deal with the situation, will she then take over.”
When Lu Jingye said that, his gaze had been on the door the whole time. “Yiyi is pregnant and I don’t even know if she can persist and finish this operation with her condition. Uncle, if you really doubt her, you can get the Director to open the door and I’ll take her away.”
“You…” Eldest Master Lu was extremely uncomfortable with what Lu Jingye said to him, but he still kept his mouth shut.
Minutes and seconds pa.s.sed by and then another three hours.
Lu Jingye finally lost his composure. He walked towards the window near the stairwell. One of his hands held onto the window’s lattice while his other hand reached for his pocket. He wanted to take out his phone.
