Miao Xiaohua did not wake up from general anesthesia. After the muscle relaxant wore off, Chu Yanran injected a tranquilizer into Miao Xiaohua to maintain her composure before sending her to the ICU via tracheal intubation.
Miao Xiaohua's family had yet to arrive as the emergency rescue and surgery had been carried out quickly.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun pushed the trolley while Chu Yanzhi sat in her sister's place, holding the balloon. Chu Yanran prepared the elevator along the way to minimize delays on the way.
They rushed to the ICU as fast as they could, connected the ventilator tube and changed the ECG monitor. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Miao Xiaohua's vital signs had not returned to normal, but they were steadily increasing. The ECG had also returned to its normal sinus rhythm. Everything seemed to be going well.
Su Yun greeted the nurses around him as if he was returning home. He found a piece of A4 paper and a foldable chair. He sat at Miao Xiaohua's bedside and started recording the data.
When it came to the field of intensive care, Zheng Ren decided to keep quiet.
He was more at ease with Su Yun watching over her. Although the sharp-tongued sissy's words were unpleasant, he had proven himself to be an excellent nurse.
Zheng Ren crossed his arms and stared at the monitor. After a few minutes, he confirmed that everything was stable and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Su Yun nodded and recorded the fluid and urine volume every five minutes. He had also started giving medical advice to prepare for laboratory tests and fluid replacement.
Zheng Ren turned around and left. The ICU was filled with the constant buzzing of various instruments, like a symphony.
It was a different kind of symphony called 'life'.
Zheng Ren left the ICU and recalled the surgery as he walked.
The System had rated the surgery completion rate at 92%. This was considered high for an emergency rescue surgery, but it was not 100%.
Zheng Ren was still worried. He reviewed the surgery and felt that he had cut off some of the capillaries that had deflated due to hemorrhagic shock. After hemostasis, the use of electric cautery to destroy the bleeding point had caused the surgery completion rate to be slightly lower.
Could it be completed perfectly? Zheng Ren pondered.
In that case, the main goal was to stop the bleeding from the left gastric artery in the abdominal cavity. A little bleeding from the skin and muscle was not a big deal.
If he pursued perfection too much, he might lose the opportunity to save her.
However, although the Master level of general surgery was impressive, there was still an insurmountable gap between it and the peak level.
As he had once stood on the highest peak and observed the world from a bird's eye view, he did not become complacent because he was a Master in general surgery. Instead, he became calmer because he noticed the huge gap between them.
On the way back, Zheng Ren called Xie Yiren and asked where she was.
Now that he was free, he wanted to chat with her to distract her from her sadness.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yanzhi was the one who picked up the phone. She said that Xie Yiren was taking a shower in the operating theater, and then they were going out for dinner to turn their grief into appetite.
Zheng Ren hung up the phone and smiled.
If she could eat it, Xie Yiren would be fine.
When he returned to the emergency building, he saw a pair of ponytails brimming with youthfulness.
This … seems very familiar, but I just can't remember who it is.
"Big Brother, you're back." The pigtailed girl giggled and ran to Zheng Ren's side, looking lively and adorable.
"Liu …" Zheng Ren vaguely remembered that it was a young patient after an appendectomy. She was already eighteen years old and not as young as she looked.
"Liu Xinyu!" The pigtailed girl pursed her lips and pretended to be angry.
"Oh, oh, what are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell? "Zheng Ren remembered that the girl's name was Liu Xinyu.
Liu Xinyu did not answer Zheng Ren. She reached into the pocket of Zheng Ren's white coat and took out a pen. She grabbed his hand, stretched it flat, and wrote the word 'Yu' on his palm.
"It's this word. Don't forget it in the future," Liu Xinyu said.
"…" Zheng Ren looked at the neat handwriting in his palm and smiled.
He would probably not forget it this time.
"I'm taking the evening train to Tianjin," Liu Xinyu said.
"Oh, I remember now. I have to attend the tutoring," Zheng Ren said.
Liu Xinyu studied music, so her specialty should be the cello. She wanted to apply for the Tianjin Music University, so the college entrance examination would focus on professional skills such as playing the cello.
"Yes, that's why I came to say goodbye to a big brother." Liu Xinyu was full of longing for a bright future when she talked about going to Tianjin.
"You have to work hard," Zheng Ren encouraged.
"Of course." Liu Xinyu squinted her eyes and smiled. "When I get into the Tianjin Music University, big brother will treat me to dinner when I come back in the summer."
"Okay."
"Give me your phone and give me your WeChat number. I'll be able to find you." Liu Xinyu skillfully unlocked her phone, opened WeChat, and went to the QR code interface.
Zheng Ren was in a daze during the conversation. With an IQ of 140, all his energy was focused on medical treatment.
Liu Xinyu added him on WeChat in a daze, said goodbye to Zheng Ren and ran away happily.
Zheng Ren felt like he had returned to his high school days, when he had bid farewell to his deskmate after graduation.
'This child is really independent,' Zheng Ren thought with a smile.
When he returned to the emergency ward, Zheng Ren saw a middle-aged couple sitting in the office. The woman kept wiping away her tears while the man paced back and forth anxiously.
"You are …" Zheng Ren had a general idea but still had to confirm it.
"They are Miao Xiaohua's parents. They arrived five minutes ago. I asked them to wait for you here."
"Hello." Zheng Ren extended his hand.
Miao Xiaohua's parents' hands were cold.
"Let's talk about the results first. Miao Xiaohua's life was a success and she is now in the ICU under the care of the most professional intensive care doctors." Zheng Ren did not keep the anxious family in suspense and told them the news of Miao Xiaohua's successful rescue.
Miao Xiaohua's parents looked relieved when they heard the news.
"Have a seat. I'll tell you about her condition." Zheng Ren politely gestured for them to take a seat and started from the beginning.
He started from gastroenterology, then interventional radiography, and finally open abdominal surgery. The middle-aged couple listened in shock.
After all, they were family. Zheng Ren did not tell them a story but a story of separation and reunion.
In just a few minutes, they would have been separated forever.
If Xie Yiren had not been around …
If Zheng Ren had not rushed to gastroenterology to rescue her …
If not for interventional radiography …
If the surgical exploration of the left gastric artery had been slightly slower …
Every possibility was fatal.
