The Godfather of Surgery

Li Zehui was immediately moved away by Robert's stare, and Robert skillfully assisted Yang Ping to take off the surgical gown.

Then, the professor of sports medicine learned massage from somewhere. He followed Yang Ping and began to massage Yang Ping's shoulders with both hands.

When Yang Ping sat down, he stood behind Yang Ping, squeezed his shoulders, beat his back, and pulled Yang Ping's arms away in a decent way.

Li Zehui, Marshall and the nurse were stunned. Is this Robert from the New York Hospital for Special Surgery? No matter how you look at it, it looks like Yang Ping's little doctor.

The anesthesiologist and perfusionist from the United States did not know Robert, and were also stunned by this scene.

Okay, the method is okay!

Yang Ping moved his neck and shoulder joints, and the effect was really good.

There are still holes!

Robert indicated that the massage was not over yet.

Acupuncture, acupuncture, Robert muttered words, but he couldn't do it for a long time, as if he had forgotten something.

Is there a ruler? he asked the traveling nurse.

It is often necessary to locate the incision in the operating room, and the ruler is a standing tool. The roving nurse was taken aback and found him a steel ruler.

The anesthesiologist is resuscitating the baby, and the equipment nurse is starting to pack the equipment.

The itinerant nurse stopped what she was doing to see what Robert was going to do. Li Zehui and Marshall were also at a loss.

Yang Ping himself couldn't figure out what Robert was up to.

Robert started measuring with a ruler behind Yang Ping, as if he was locating a point. After finding that point, he tapped it lightly with his finger. After confirming the position, he poked it hard with his finger.

Fuck! Yang Ping almost jumped up in pain.

What the hell is this acupuncture point? Vigorously vajra finger.

Enough, enough!

Yang Ping waved his hand immediately, and then made a pause. Robert raised his finger: Have you finished ordering yet?

But Yang Ping had already said to suspend, and Robert didn't dare to do it again.

The monitor showed that the rhythm of the baby's heart beat remained normal.

After watching Robert's acupuncture performance, Marshall also raised his finger and tapped on his back.

Li Ze would understand that it was acupuncture. He told Marshall: This is a very Chinese way of relaxing. I have seen it in Chinatown.

Marshall half understood.

He was thinking, is it necessary to gain the friendship of this Chinese doctor and learn this kind of massage and acupuncture?

The anesthesiologist allowed the baby to resume spontaneous breathing, then sucked away the secretions from the airway, and removed the endotracheal tube.

The little guy may have been stimulated when he sucked the sputum and removed the tube, and his limbs fluttered for a while. He had no idea that his fate had been completely changed at this time.

Observation for half an hour, the baby is normal.

Everyone went to the dressing room to change clothes. When the baby was pushed out of the operating room, the waiting father was very excited. He ran up, holding the back of his head with his hands, and looked at his son. He was still alive.

When he heard that the operation was successful, the father made a muffled sound in his throat with excitement, tears glistened in his eyes, and he wanted to touch his hands, but he didn't dare.

The interpreter told him that he will be transferred to the intensive care unit in the follow-up, and he can only return to the general ward after he is stable.

On the way to the intensive care unit, the father kept holding on to the railing, looked at the baby, and tried to touch the baby's face several times, but withdrew his hand again.

Li Zehui transferred a doctor from the Cleveland Medical Center to be responsible for the postoperative care of babies. This doctor is good at postoperative care of children after heart surgery.

In this way, Yang Ping is more at ease. As long as there are no accidents, the little guy can pass through the dangerous period after the operation smoothly, not to mention that Li Ze will be there.

At this time, he just wanted to return to China as soon as possible, but there are not many flights from Saudi Arabia to China, and they will only be available the next day, so the booked ticket is also the next day.

Yang Ping looked at the time, it was only after eleven o'clock, corresponding to China's time, it was after six o'clock in the morning, he said hello to Li Zehui, and started sending WeChat calls with his mobile phone in a meeting room of the intensive care unit.

At this time, Xiao Su should be exercising.

There is a gym and a treadmill at home. Xiao Su has the habit of exercising. When she wakes up in the morning, she will spend an hour exercising. If she has time to start a side job, Xiao Su is a good fitness trainer for female white-collar workers.

Tennis, swimming, and fitness are all Xiao Su's favorite sports.

Running is a common hobby of the two. Yang Ping has been running since middle school and university. He also insists on doing pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and one-leg stand-ups every day.

Sending WeChat messages, Xiao Su responded immediately.

Xiao Su's home in Shuangsha Island, Yang Ping remembered that today is the New Year's Eve, the day of reunion, and he is still far away in Saudi Arabia, which is overseas.

It was agreed to go to her house for the New Year, and now she is still undergoing surgery outside. Fortunately, Xiao Su's family is doctors, so they can understand.

Video chat with Xiaosu for ten minutes.

Yang Ping dialed the video call of his parents again, and when he received a call from his son, the two elders were so happy that they rushed to talk, of course, every time it was the father who gave way to the mother.

What I was most worried about before was Yang Ping finding a girlfriend, but now I don't worry about it, my mother started urging marriage and giving birth again.

Now that Yangping’s economic conditions have improved, several times they wanted to send money back, but the two elders refused. They said that they owed some money to build the house, but that was their business. People do what a generation does.

Before the Chinese New Year, Xiao Su bought some souvenirs with southern characteristics from the gifts she brought back from Japan, and picked out a few sets of good clothes, and packed them together and sent them back.

Yang Ping's parents were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. When my mother put on new clothes, when the villagers asked, they proudly replied: This is bought by the daughter-in-law, and the blind dates cast envious eyes.

After calling my parents, I called my sister again. I was working outside, and I rarely saw my parents once a year. The task of taking care of my parents fell to my sister.

My sister and brother-in-law are both rural teachers. A few years ago, my brother-in-law resigned to start a business. I don't know how the situation is.

Anyway, every time I ask them, they say very good.

On the day of Chinese New Year, after greeting a circle, Yang Ping sat down to rest.

Li Zehui's handover is almost over, and it's time for lunch.

Robert knows Yang Ping better than Li Zehui.

Since Li Zehui had arranged lunch and had just finished the operation and needed to rest, Robert accepted Li Zehui's arrangement to eat near the hospital.

But in the evening, Robert said it had to be arranged by him.

He found a Chinese restaurant called Jixinyuan, a famous Chinese restaurant in Jeddah, where he had dinner.

Dumplings, authentic Chinese dumplings!

The table should be in the shape of a garden with a red tablecloth. It is best to hang red lanterns, Chinese knots or firecracker models at the door.

Robert has repeatedly emphasized that he has to confirm these with the restaurant repeatedly before he can rest assured.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there are no dumplings. If you dare to invite Dr. Yang to dinner, this joke has gone to the Red Sea.

Although Li Zehui is Westernized and knows a little about Chinese culture, he still neglects the matter of dumplings.

Robert was very dissatisfied with Li Zehui, thinking that dumplings should be served in Chinese food instead of Saudi food.

So he decided to go out on his own and arrange the dinner.

Put the baby in the ICU and go to dinner together.

After lunch, Yang Ping rested at the hotel, and he made another round of phone calls.

This case comes from the book Opening a Heart by British heart surgeon Stephen Westaby, which has been modified on the basis of the original case. I didn't want to write this case, but after reading this book before, all the cases in the book, This case shocked me the most, so I still write it out. This heart surgeon has opened 12,000 hearts in his career. His legend goes beyond film and television dramas, and we pay tribute to this master of heart surgery!
