Chapter 950: Chapter 814 High Mountain Flowing Waters

Outside the operating room, no matter how the doctors and nurses explained, no matter how Old Song explained, Yao Xiurong was convinced that something had happened to her child and that the doctors and nurses were just hiding it from her. She insisted on checking it out herself, convinced that if they wouldn’t let her in, there must be something fishy going on.

And her reason was the phrase "cardiac arrest"; she obsessively trapped herself in her own understanding and couldn’t extricate herself.

Oh—

Truth be told, Old Song admitted that, apart from this one thing, his wife was otherwise perfect—whether it was her appearance or her diligence in managing household affairs. Otherwise, Old Song would have divorced her long ago.

The previous "smart drugs" incident had caused a stir for half a year, exhausting Old Song. No matter how he explained, she always believed the health products salesman was right, arguing that they were a big company, hired celebrities for advertisements, and had a research team full of scientists, so there could be no problems.

Unfortunately, the so-called "smart drugs" tasted very good, and the child was greedy, so he always ate them secretly, which made Old Song guard against this issue every day.

Later, Old Song found out that the so-called "smart drugs" were just a kind of stimulant, which were extremely harmful to the body. If Old Song hadn’t stopped it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable if the usage had continued.

The issue still hadn’t concluded when Academician Wang had to personally intervene. The patient was his referral, and now that this had happened, Academician Wang felt extremely embarrassed.

He came to the door of the operating room and severely reprimanded her. The presence of an academician was indeed different and immediately subdued Yao Xiurong; she mumbled in confusion, "Are you sure everything is all right?"

"The child is fine; he is undergoing surgery right now. Even if there was nothing wrong, you would create problems. If you want the surgery to go smoothly, just stay here quietly. If you can’t wait here, then go downstairs but don’t disturb the surgery. Everything was going fine with the surgery until you interfered—making trouble out of nothing!" Academician Wang was very harsh, not indulging her at all.

Yao Xiurong stopped crying, "I heard that my child’s heartbeat had already stopped, so—"

"The child has had several surgeries, were all the discussions during those surgeries not clear enough for you? Didn’t you listen to them? This kind of surgery requires stopping the heart; otherwise, how can the surgery be performed? It’s a necessary step of the surgery. We have this special technique to restart the heart after the surgery. Why are you so ignorant?"

Academician Wang spoke very sharply, without sparing her feelings, otherwise speaking was pointless, as such people wouldn’t understand.

At that moment, Old Song explained on the side, "It’s just like when we repair cars. How can we fix the engine if it’s not turned off? It’s the same logic."

This time Yao Xiurong finally understood, "What you all are saying is true, right? You’re not hiding anything from me, are you?"

"Why would we need to hide anything from you? Is there any need for that? Making trouble for nothing! Making a fuss!" Academician Wang was really angry.

Old Song didn’t even know where to put his face, wished he could find a crack to crawl into. Doctors and nurses were busily helping with the surgery, while his wife was causing a scene—it was truly absurd.

"Get up quickly, isn’t this embarrassing enough?" Old Song immediately pulled his wife up and kept apologizing to Academician Wang.

"I’m sorry! She doesn’t understand and was making a fuss unnecessarily. We will wait patiently."

Yao Xiurong, possibly realizing her mistake, also nodded and apologized to Academician Wang and the doctors and nurses, then followed her husband to the waiting area.

But she was genuinely anxious at the time. As a mother, hearing that her child’s heart had stopped, how could she not be anxious? In her panic, crying was the only help she could offer.

The aorta was too far forward, and the pulmonary artery was to the back right, both vessels’ entry points deviating significantly from their normal positions, which was entirely unworkable.

Now, it was necessary to create new openings at the normal positions, channel arterial blood from the opening in the left ventricle into the aorta, and route venous blood from the opening in the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery.

This step involved significant movements. If it failed, the entire cardiovascular system would lose its function, and there would be no way to remedy it.

Thus at this step, the surgery could only move forward, not backward, exactly because once the incision was made, there was no turning back, which is why Academician Wang was so cautious and delayed in coming up with a reliable surgical plan.

If the heart were compared to a car engine, it was now necessary to create new openings in the engine to connect the intake and exhaust pipes, which was no longer just a repair; it was essentially a fundamental modification of the engine.

Li Zehui stood closer to the screen, staring intensely at it, knowing that if one step went wrong, the entire surgery would be rendered futile with no possibility of remedy.

Professor Yang was indeed bold and skilled, something Li Zehui would never consider leading such a surgery himself.

Professor Chen and Professor Xin also moved a bit closer. It could be said that this step was the most difficult and had the largest workload of the surgery.

The placement of this opening needed to be very precise, and the suturing was extremely difficult, involving inserting the entire aorta into the new opening on the left ventricular wall. Then a dual suture inside and outside the ventricle had to be performed; after suturing, there could be no leakage, and the entire passage from the inside of the ventricle to the aorta must be smooth without any vortices or kicking flows. The suturing strength had to ensure it could safely survive the healing period.

The same was required for the pulmonary artery.

Regardless of the design for the new opening or the closure of the old one, Yang Ping appeared very skilled, as if he had practiced this kind of surgery thousands of times.

The music in the operating room continuously played softly, looping the guzheng version of "High Mountain Flowing Waters". Under such a musical backdrop, Li Zehui, Professor Xin, and Professor Chen watched the screen displaying the surgery, entering into a state of artistic enjoyment.
