Chapter 1217: Chapter 944: The Stalled Engine

Davenport heard Yang Ping’s voice and immediately ran into the changing room to stand beside him.

At that moment, everyone was chatting. Although Davenport couldn’t understand what everyone was talking about, he showed with his attentive gaze that he was actively participating.

This Swede clung to Yang Ping like a shadow, not leaving his side for a moment. When told to follow, it wasn’t just about shadowing him but keeping up with the work pace. Language and cultural differences seemed to be a big issue.

Yang Ping waved at Song Zimo, and when Song Zimo came over, Yang Ping said, "Could you explain to him what it means to keep up with us?"

Understanding the request, Song Zimo immediately stood up, patted Doctor Davenport, and gestured for him to come along. Davenport looked at Yang Ping, obviously reluctant to follow Song Zimo. Only after Yang Ping nodded did Davenport agree to leave the changing room with Song Zimo.

Liang Fatty was chatting with his brothers. Little Five and Zhang Lin, as experienced people, were imparting philosophy on love and relationships. The two of them went back and forth, leaving Liang Fatty baffled.

"Let the women revolve around you; you should not revolve around them. Do you understand this principle?"

"Bootlickers come right after dogs. With your options, are you afraid you won’t have a girlfriend? If you want to date, date; if not, just let it be."

"Damn, there are so many holidays each year; you have to buy gifts, you have to make time to accompany them. Do you still want to be a doctor? You are not even married yet, imagine what it will be like after you’re married."

"How should I put it, both of you are not wrong, but it’s not suitable."

"Sometimes, women inherently need to be coaxed and accompanied; there’s no helping it, it’s just the nature of this creature. Take my wife, for example, sometimes when she works the night shift, isn’t it still me who has to accompany her?"

The guys were still chatting when Tang Shun walked in with a set of scrub clothes. He was not a doctor, but being in the hospital, he sometimes wanted to come to the operating room to observe surgeries and broaden his horizons.

At this moment, the chatting suddenly stopped, and then silence ensued. With the expert present, who could still express opinions on love? It was a clear case of ’playing the lute to a cow’ or ’using a cleaver to kill a chicken in front of Guan Yu.’

Fatty had initially wanted to ask his mentor how to deal with this tricky problem, but the nurses on the other side were already urging, "The patient for the next operation has been brought in; we can start the anesthesia."

However, having this chat with his brothers, Fatty felt much more relieved, no longer as depressed as before. Although he had not smoked a soft Zhonghua, just sniffing it under his nose counted as satisfying his craving to some extent. Fatty, Zhang Lin, and Little Five left the changing room with arms over each other’s shoulders.

Yang Ping continued to lean on the bench to rest, seizing the time to conduct experiments. It was truly a case of not missing out on anything, performing surgeries in reality and rushing scientific research in the system space. Carrying a laboratory with him was cool; he could conduct experiments anywhere and anytime, and the progress of the experiments was countless times faster than in reality.

In the operating room at that moment, Sanbo Hospital’s extracorporeal circulation team was also in place. The perfusionist was busy adjusting their machine, setting up and connecting various tubes and systems, venting and pre-charging, ready to provide support for the surgery at any moment.

Originally, Sanbo Hospital had only a few heart surgeries and mostly performed general thoracic surgeries. Many said maintaining an extracorporeal circulation team was purely a waste. Dean Xia said that to elevate a hospital’s status, it was essential to perform heart surgeries. Thus, even with few heart surgeries, Dean Xia insisted on equipping an extracorporeal circulation team. Things always develop from nothing to something, from weak to strong.

Now, the extracorporeal circulation team finally proved its significant value. Ever since Yang Ping established the Surgical Research Institute, top-notch heart surgeries followed one after another.

Some things elevate as the water rises. Initially, Sanbo Hospital’s extracorporeal circulation team consisted of several inexperienced young doctors. But as Yang Ping got the cardiac surgeries up and running, the team also accumulated a wealth of experience. These people were not lacking in theory; what they lacked was experience. Once they accrued enough experience, they would be able to take off.

Director He Xiangjun of the Thoracic Surgery Department also came early to help. Director He had never performed the Commando surgery. Now, following Yang Ping, he could experience the MAX version of the Commando surgery, naturally looking forward to it with great anticipation.

Yet, Professor Yang’s pace was too fast, and He Xiangjun felt he couldn’t keep up. These heart surgeries often jumped straight to the pinnacle; at times, Director He felt powerless.

Having rested sufficiently, Yang Ping entered the operating room where Liang Fatty had already administered anesthesia to Karen, and the doctors and nurses were cooperating to position the patient.

The position for surgery is crucial. A good surgical position can yield better exposure during the procedure. An improper position not only affects the surgical field’s visibility but can also cause harm to the patient.

With the Head Nurse helping to take care of his father, Xia Shu was also able to make time to participate in the surgery. As a doctoral candidate specializing in cardiac surgery, he naturally paid more attention to such surgeries than others.

Qiu Nuo had somewhat recovered from her "heartbreak" and was already involved in the work of the Surgical Research Institute’s operating room. Seeing Yang Ping walk in, Qiu Nuo glanced at Yang Ping, who showed no reaction at all, greeting her as usual. Qiu Nuo realized her infatuation was one-sided. After all, Professor Yang had a loving wife and had always treated her as a regular colleague from Xiehe. Since it was merely her unrequited love, there was nothing embarrassing about it; it was just a daydream in her mind — no need to feel embarrassed over a dream. However, she could no longer hold her head up in front of Xiao Su, being irrevocably grasped by that person, unable to raise her head for a lifetime.

Zhou Can was the instrumental nurse for this surgery. Qiu Nuo began to carefully observe how Zhou Can worked.
