Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Under the operating lights, Professor Tan's face was extremely grim. For a top professor to abandon a surgery halfway through would undoubtedly be a major stain on his career.

He wouldn't give up unless absolutely necessary.

But the current situation...

The tumor is adhered to the hepatic artery and other tissues, making it impossible to completely remove the tumor. If the tumor or the artery is punctured, the patient will die immediately.

Before going on stage, Professor Tan was 90% confident.

just now……

He wasn't even 10% sure.

If the surgery continues, there is a 90% chance the patient will die on the operating table.

If surgery is stopped and chemotherapy is administered, the patient may have several months, or even three years, left to live.

Professor Tan chose the second option.

Stop the surgery!

"Xiao Qi, you can arrange the rest. The family matters are also in your hands."

Professor Tan put down his scalpel, turned around, and left.

Director Qi sighed and said to the associate chief physician, "Tianlai, you should close the abdomen."

After saying that, Director Qi left.

Summer was stunned.

Have you given up?

So you're giving up already?

Aren't you even going to give it a try?

"Dr. Sheng..."

Xia Tian said awkwardly, "The patient has high hopes for the provincial hospital. Although the success rate is low, we should still give it a try, right?"

"Why……"

Sheng Tianlai is 32 years old this year, and is young and ambitious.

Young people are bold and willing to take risks. His personal idea is also something to try, just in case it works.

But Professor Tan and Director Qi spoke up, leaving him no room to vote against it.

"Since Professor Tan has spoken, this is the only way."

"Xia, you know about Guanfu, right?"

"Director Zhang said you are very capable and asked me to take good care of you. The rest of the work is up to you. After closing the abdomen, disinfect the patient and then you can leave."

Sheng Tianlai patted Xia Tian on the shoulder and then left the operating room.

now.

Inside the operating room, only Xia Tian, ​​the doctor, and four nurses remained.

Looking at the tumor.

In summer, I remain completely still.

Are we just going to give up like this?

The patient can live for a maximum of three years, and if they are lucky, they can live for five years, but basically, they will pass away within three months.

He worked hard all his life, and just as he was retiring to enjoy his retirement, he was about to die?

Do not!

I am a doctor!

I cannot give up as long as there is even the slightest hope.

"Dr. Xia, do you need the wound stitched up?"

Seeing that Xia Tian was not moving, Nurse Xiaoli asked her a question.

"No!"

"Prepare for surgery."

"Xiaoli, come over here and help me absorb this."

Summer, scalpel in hand, ready to get to work.

"this……"

Xiaoli was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances with the other three nurses in the operating room.

What is he going to do?

He wants to perform the surgery himself?

are you crazy?

Professor Tan has already declared the surgery a failure. As an intern and the fourth assistant on the operating table, Xia Tian is not qualified to perform the surgery.

There are regulations in the hospital.

Interns are not allowed to perform surgery unless the attending physician signs and permits it.

Summer violated the rules of the hospital!

He'll be fired!

"He Jie, the head nurse of the operating room, frowned as she spoke to Xia Tian."

"Dr. Xia, Professor Tan and Director Qi have already said that you cannot perform surgery on your own after the operation is over. If anything goes wrong and the hospital investigates, neither you nor we can bear the responsibility."

"You should close your stomach and leave."

Summer's gaze was sincere, and her tone was firm.

"Once the abdomen is closed, the patient only has a few months left to live."

"I am 99% confident that I can cure the patient."

Please believe me!

If it were any other intern who dared to speak so arrogantly, Sister He would have slapped them across the face long ago.

What a load of nonsense!

Get out of my way!

But on the day of the multi-car collision, Sister He and Xia Tian were on the night shift together. The two of them performed four surgeries together. Xia Tian's professionalism impressed her deeply. She had been an operating room nurse for 20 years and could tell at a glance whether a doctor was skilled or not.

To date, none of the doctors at the provincial hospital have been able to surpass the summer.

perhaps……

Really!

Sister He gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's begin the surgery."

"I'll stand as your second assistant."

"Xiaoli, the three of you, cooperate fully with Dr. Xia."

Sister He stood opposite Xia Tian.

Having worked as an operating room nurse for 20 years, this was the first time she had stood here. She looked up and met Xia Tian's gaze.

Under the operating lights, the two men's gazes were resolute.

"Dr. Xia, keep it up!"

"Go, Sister He!"

After encouraging each other, summer began.

After half an hour.

Xia Tian asked, "Sister He, has the tumor been completely removed?"

Sister He looked down.

"It should be clean now."

"I can't see any residue left."

"Okay, close the abdomen."

Ten minutes later.

The operation is over.

In the summer, after taking off their masks, they gave Sister He a thumbs up.

"Sister He is amazing!"

Sister He blushed and said shyly, "You performed the surgery, you're the best."

Summer smiled.

"Send the patient to the ICU. After the surgery, the patient needs to be observed in the ICU for three days. Tell the ICU nurses to come to me if there are any problems with this patient."

Sister He blinked.

"understood."

After explaining some necessary details, Xia Tian left the operating room.

Outside the operating room.

Qi Changfeng is communicating with the patient's family.

"The patient's tumor has become adhered and cannot be removed surgically; only conservative treatment can be used."

"This is the chemotherapy regimen."

"Take a look. If you have no objections, you can sign it."

The patient's wife, daughter, son, and a large group of relatives were all stunned. The patient had already entered the operating room, but how come he came out without any surgery being performed?

The patient's daughter stepped forward.

"Director Qi."

"Hello, my father only has stage three liver cancer, which should be treatable with surgery. You initially wanted to perform surgery, and he even went into the operating room. Now you're telling me that surgery is not possible?"

"Isn't your hospital taking this way too lightly?"

"If surgery wasn't possible, you could have said so in advance. Now the patient is already inside, has undergone surgery, and you're saying it's not possible? Isn't that your hospital's responsibility?"

Qi Changfeng's face was extremely pale; the tumor adhesion was something he hadn't anticipated.

He explained earnestly.

"That's how it is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from behind him.

"The surgery is over, and it was a great success."

"The tumor has been completely removed, and the removed portion has been sent to the laboratory. The rapid pathology results will be available within 30 minutes. Please wait patiently."

What?

Qi Changfeng was stunned.

He asked, bewildered, "Who performed the surgery?"

"I did it," Xia Tian said.

"Nonsense!" Qi Changfeng exclaimed and rushed into the operating room.
