Chapter 22: Fighting for Time with the Grim Reaper

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Here, quick!” Zeng Fangcai hurriedly ran towards Su Chen.

Initially, he had wanted to arrange for an assistant to pick up Su Chen. However, he still needed time to find someone, so it was best for him to come alone.

Even though he knew that it was a taboo for him to leave the operating theater as the chief surgeon, and it was also very dangerous.

However, there was a limit to what he could do in there. If he could bring Su Chen in one second earlier, there would be hope.

They were fighting for time with the grim reaper.

Zeng Fangcai took Su Chen and hurried to the preparation room outside the operating room.

The two physician assistants, holding the prepared surgical gowns and sterilization supplies, looked at Zeng Fangcai and Su Chen with some confusion.

They didn’t understand why Doctor Zeng rushed out of the operating theater and brought a young man back.

“Hurry up, disinfect and change your clothes.” But Zeng Fangcai didn’t explain to them. He said to Su Chen, “Change your clothes and let’s hurry in.”

Su Chen wasn’t shy at all and started changing with Zeng Fangcai.

He didn’t care what they thought. Time was of the essence!

When Su Chen stood in front of the surgical gown, the clothes and pants on his body had already been taken off. Only his underwear remained, and he put on the surgical gown handed over by the physician’s assistant. After carefully sterilizing, he went to the operating room.

“Is he a doctor? Or someone else?”

“I don’t know. He looks like it.”

“I think so. Aren’t they going in for surgery?”

“That’s right. To be able to get Doctor Zeng to pick him up personally, it seems like he’s a big shot.”

Everyone in the preparation room was discussing fervently.

When they saw Su Chen walking while undressing and not worrying about anything else in order to save people, they began to admire him even more, and there was a change in the look in their eyes.

When the medical staff heard what they said, they straightened their clothes and worked even harder. They were proud to be hospital staff.

But this young man? Who was he? There didn’t seem to be such a young professional doctor in the hospital, right? Not to mention the chief surgeon, but not a single person who could become a surgeon was talentless.

Usually, only the chief surgeon or an anesthetist could stand directly at the operating table. But to use a young doctor to perform the surgery? Was the hospital crazy? Or was the patient’s family crazy?

But the important thing was even if he was a doctor, they had never seen him before. Where did he come from? Was he a hospital staff member?

…

Before entering the operating room table, they were sterilized once again.

“He is …” Zeng Fangcai looked at the two co-workers around him and introduced, “Dr. Su Chen!”

He really could not bring himself to say the words “medical university student”.

A medical university student was absolutely not allowed to be at the operating table.

Even a professional doctor who had just started his career was not qualified.

However, according to Zeng Fangcai’s “perception” of Su Chen, his medical skills definitely weren’t something that students could attain.

Even many professional doctors could not reach his level. Many of them were not even qualified to be his assistant.

He was probably just like a fresh graduate in front of Su Chen’s medical proficiency.

“Doctor!” The two professional doctors, looking at Su Chen, greeted him respectfully.

It didn’t matter if he was young. After all, the crux of medicine wasn’t age.

Moreover, the person Zeng Fangcai personally brought over was definitely not an ordinary person.

Zeng Fangcai was the best chief surgeon in City H’s hospital. He was a legendary figure to them.

How could such a person personally invite an ordinary person?

Therefore, the respectful tone was instinctive. Although they were respectful, they saw that Su Chen wasn’t even as old as they were. They were also confused.

Standing at the operating table, the anesthesiologists and assistants around Zeng Fangcai and Su Chen were looking at Zeng Fangcai and Su Chen.

Although he wore a mask, his young age was still very puzzling.

Such a young person went to the operating room and as someone who Zeng Fangcai personally went to invite.

Su Chen simply didn’t think about anything else. Instead, he spent all his energy on checking the little girl’s situation.

The first thing Su Chen did was to take a look at the little girl’s ECG and check the little girl’s condition.

He looked at the little girl who was unconscious in front of him.

Before Su Chen could do it, Zeng Fangcai had already taken the scalpel and started to operate on the little girl. With the developed medical equipment, Zeng Fangcai made smooth progress.

Because he didn’t have any specific practice, Su Chen just quietly watched Zeng Fangcai operate from the sidelines.

In the open chest, Su Chen and a group of doctors clearly saw that some obvious fluid accumulation existed.

However, this wouldn’t cause the young lady’s heart and other body functions to deteriorate so badly.

It would have some effect, but not much, so there should be other reasons.

Looking at the little girl’s heart, which was beating slightly, he squinted his eyes, but his mind was still visualizing.

“Clean up the fluid first!”

Zeng Fangcai’s assistant was skillfully cleaning up the fluid.

“That’s not the reason. There’s still a problem.” Su Chen frowned as he looked at the organs in her body and said with certainty, “Her organs are still weakening!”

“Do you know the reason?” Zeng Fangcai asked anxiously.

“Give me the observation mirror!” Su Chen said calmly.

The assistant beside him handed him a magnifying glass. He didn’t need to hold a medical device in his hand and just put it over his eyes.

After he was done, he began to examine the various organs of the little girl in detail.

Although the others felt that time passed in the blink of an eye, as time passed, everyone on the operating table was very anxious. They still felt that there was a very long way to go, and a life was on the line.

What went wrong? Su Chen looked at every part of the little girl’s body and found that there were basically no major problems. Even if there were, it would not have such a big impact. Could it be…?

“Clean up the heart! Clean it up!” He thought of the last possibility.

Now, with no other choice, Zeng Fangcai could only completely obey Su Chen.

He picked up a pair of hemostatic forceps and started to clean the little girl’s heart.

Every move was done carefully. However, he skillfully and quickly cleaned up the bloodstains on the surface.

But now…

Again, a little bit of blood began to seep out from the surface of the heart. Su Chen’s heart instantly relaxed, and his gaze sharpened.

“That’s it! We’ve finally found the reason.” Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

There was no need for Su Chen to raise his voice to remind them.

Zeng Fangcai and the people beside him saw that critical spot..
