Healing Doctor

Chapter 485 Expectations for the Operating Room

Director Fan is still busy.

Although he returned to the hotel to rest, he changed his usual habits.

I used to turn off my phone when I slept, but I haven't done that these past few days. I keep it on 24/7 so that the staff staying at the hospital can send me messages anytime.

If it's urgent, just call.

The patient received blood transfusions and intravenous hyperalimentation after surgery. Although he was an elderly patient and suffered from hemorrhagic shock, which had a significant impact on his body, he recovered extremely quickly.

He was already out of bed for rehabilitation training early the next morning after the surgery.

Director Fan felt relieved after seeing this message.

He immediately assembled technicians to begin editing the recorded content.

This kind of rushed reality show was a first for Director Fan. He found it hard to believe that Hong Kong films could produce a high-quality film in just over 20 days back then.

But now that he's actually there, Director Fan feels like his blood has been pumped up, and he's full of inspiration and energy. He can't wait to start editing and watching.

It is estimated that when this episode is released, the number of concurrent viewers will reach a peak, a record-breaking peak.

As for whether it can become a national-level variety show, that depends on fate.

After a day of non-stop editing and production, although there were still some regrets overall, Director Fan was quite satisfied when the time came. He slept lightly for a few hours and woke up before the program started to watch the program and data.

……

……

The first step was to lay the groundwork with three interns in neurosurgery, who then introduced the concept of "operation day."

The three interns followed them onto the stage. Although they initially appeared with the demeanor of surgeons, there was nothing particularly remarkable about their presentation.

Although it was a detail, the production team paid attention to it, having the interns walk the runway in the style of The White Tower. They looked somewhat inexperienced, but they also had the "demeanor" of surgeons on camera.

It looks good, but Director Fan knows that without Ji Xiang and without being able to broadcast the entire surgical process, the show's ratings would likely be very limited.

Even without censorship, Director Fan still had reservations about broadcasting the entire surgical procedure, worried that the bloody operating table would make many viewers uncomfortable.

The proverb "Lord Ye loves dragons" describes someone who is curious before seeing them, but experiences various psychological and physiological reactions after seeing them, which is only natural.

Looking at Ji Xiang's surgery now, it really was just right!

"Director, the number of concurrent users has reached 400 million," Director Fan's assistant said excitedly.

Director Fan remained noncommittal; he knew this was just the beginning.

The neurosurgery was censored with mosaics, and subsequent scenes involving drilling were not shown because they were too bloody and violent.

Finally, the guest explained the entire surgical process with a slightly affected expression, but the tension seemed insufficient.

But this is the limit of what can be done, and data shows that the audience's curiosity has been satisfied to some extent.

After all, the operating room is a mystery to most people.

Unlike other mysterious forbidden areas, which ordinary people can never access in their entire lives, the operating room... anyone can potentially enter and interact with anesthesiologists, circulating nurses, scrub nurses, and surgeons.

Many people are willing to spend their time there if they can see the environment inside first.

This is considered part of the exploration phase.

The scene then returns to the hepatobiliary surgery department, where Director Yang appears on camera for a brief interview.

The topic returned to the patient who had been given a "death sentence" in the second episode after Director Yang briefly described the treatment of similar patients, and then Ji Xiang appeared in the scene.

Following Ji Xiang into the interventional catheter operating room, the image became much clearer. After a sterile drape was laid on, there was no pixelation throughout the entire process.

Ji Xiang is performing a puncture and placing an arterial sheath.

"Director Fan, when a person performs a femoral artery puncture, they usually insert the needle while simultaneously drawing back the syringe." Director Li noticed the subtle difference in Ji Xiang's hand gestures and was quite satisfied. He explained to Director Fan, "Dr. Ji is very accurate. He inserted the needle and it landed perfectly in the femoral artery, then drew back the syringe."

Director Li Ming's explanation is now perfectly relevant.

As Ji Xiang aspirated, he hit the target spot with a single needle prick. The subsequent "mistake" and Director Li's explanation clearly illustrated the pre-operative process.

Overall, there are basically no bloody or violent scenes, just needle pricks.

In the minds of most people, giving injections is a nurse's job and has nothing to do with doctors.

The only "bloody" scene was preserved: a stream of dark red blood gushed out, and then a guide wire was inserted.

Director Fan pulled a lot of strings to get this one clip included.

After all, it "flowed" out, not sprayed out, so we can still argue our case.

Moreover, the entire surgery only had this one close-up shot, so there's nothing wrong with keeping it.

As the guide wire was inserted, Ji Xiang began to step on the suture. The camera focused on Ji Xiang's feet, allowing viewers to clearly see the entire process of stepping on the suture.

"Director, interventional surgery really does fit the current requirements," Director Fan's assistant said with a smile. "The whole process is done via video, just like watching a movie, but that's how the surgery is performed."

"Moreover," Director Fan smiled, emphasizing his point, "even many doctors and nurses don't know how interventional surgery is performed. Few people know, especially those with only a superficial understanding, and there are few voices offering criticism."

"Hahaha." Director Fan's assistant laughed triumphantly.

Indeed, the operating room is a restricted area, and the interventional operating room is the quietest place within that restricted area. Not to mention ordinary viewers, even doctors and nurses in the hospital don't know much about it.

The data satisfied Director Fan. Watching the number of concurrent online users slowly climb without any sign of stopping, Director Fan's expectations gradually rose higher and higher.

I imagine everyone thinks this surgery is the highlight of the day.

If we follow the normal procedure, that is indeed the case.

However, this is just the beginning.

Not surprised?

Surprise!

The surgery proceeded quickly. The guidewire was in position, and the catheter was inserted along the guidewire. Medication and iodized oil were applied near the porta hepatis, and the surgery was declared over.

Although it only offers a glimpse into the whole picture, it has already satisfied the needs of the vast majority of viewers.

I got to see the operating room and watched an entire surgery without any blurring or pixelation.

So this is what interventional surgery is like. Director Fan could even see countless exclamations rising from all over the country from the dry data.

Director Fan guessed that the barrage of comments had probably made it impossible to see the screen.

The scene flashes by after Director Fan's conversation with Director Li, and then moves to the doctor's office.

President Han Chu began explaining the video materials.

The camera recorded his every move, and the information of the ten patients was displayed to the national audience.

"Is late-stage liver cancer curable?"

Countless bullet comments flew, blotting out the sky.
