Chapter 725: She Performed the Surgery on Him Personally
Lu Shan was naturally delighted to see her younger brother as soon as she arrived. She smiled and asked, "Xiao Ye, did you come to pick up Xiao Zhi?"
Lu Ye replied, "I heard from Xiao Bai that the hospital invited you to perform surgery on a patient, so I came here specifically to see you."
"The surgery should be scheduled for tomorrow morning. We'll pick up my sister and take her to our house in the afternoon. Can you get off work earlier tomorrow?" Bai Zhi asked Lu Ye with a smile.
Lu Ye didn't reveal a single flaw, and he said, "I'll try my best."
The woman who was in charge of receiving Lu Shan was also waiting downstairs. When she saw Lu Shan coming, she offered to take her back to the guesthouse.
"You two should go home early. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, sis."
After Lu Shan left, Lu Ye and Bai Zhi stood under the hospital's parking shed, their feelings complicated.
"Sister hasn't seen Battalion Commander Gu yet, has she?" Lu Ye noticed that Lu Shan's expression was normal and her emotions were fine, so she probably hadn't recognized Gu Jingyi.
"Don't even mention it. Just now she went to Battalion Commander Gu's ward. She's such a dedicated doctor, she definitely had to check on the patient. Luckily, Dean Gu was asleep, otherwise he would have recognized her when he saw my sister. If the two of them had recognized each other, it would have definitely affected tomorrow's surgery."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
"After the surgery tomorrow, I can tell her about Battalion Commander Gu's identity. My sister will be very happy. She has suffered so much these past two years."
"Let's go home. You need to make sure you get some rest too."
Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle to work at 7 a.m. the next day, mainly because Gu Jingyi was going to have surgery that day.
She needs to give Gu Jingyi an acupuncture treatment before the surgery.
To ensure he can have a safe and smooth surgery.
As soon as Bai Zhi arrived at the hospital, she ran into Lu Shan. She hadn't expected Lu Shan to come to the hospital so early.
"Sister, why are you here so early? Did you get a good night's rest last night? Are you not used to the environment here?" Bai Zhi asked with concern.
Lu Shan replied, "There's nothing I'm having trouble adjusting to; the guesthouse is very nice."
Lu Shan arrived too early; the doctor who was supposed to receive her wasn't ready yet. Bai Zhi was also worried that if Lu Shan went to visit Gu Jingyi in the ward at this time, Gu Jingyi would definitely give her away if he was awake.
She took the person directly to Director Wang's office.
Director Wang just arrived.
"What time do you do rounds in the morning?" Lu Shan changed into her white coat and got straight to the point.
Director Wang explained, "Director Lu, we don't need to do ward rounds today. We'll take turns preparing for the surgery, and you'll be taken to the operating room shortly. We can just go to the operating room and wait."
"I want to go to the ward to take a look."
Lu Shan then suggested checking on the patient's condition, and Director Wang and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance.
"Director Lu, we don't need to go to the ward, right?"
Lu Shan said, "Preoperative care for patients is always necessary."
This is the rule at their military hospital.
Director Wang smiled and said, "Other doctors can do this. Director Lu, let's go to the office first. We have a few questions that we need to discuss in advance."
Bai Zhi also said to Lu Shan, "Sister, go and prepare first."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Bai Zhi didn't mention that she was going to perform acupuncture on Gu Jingyi, lest Lu Shan change her mind and insist on going with her. She knew firsthand how meticulous and serious Lu Shan was about her work.
After returning to her studio, Bai Zhi took her medicine kit and went to Gu Jingyi's ward.
As expected, Gu Qing had already woken up. When he saw her come in, he was unable to move, but his gaze shifted and fell on her.
He seemed surprised that the doctor who was giving him acupuncture today was so young.
He didn't know the young female doctor's name, so he could only say, "Doctor, thank you for your hard work."
"Of course."
Bai Zhi said, "Please relax. We will need to perform acupuncture for about half an hour. You are having surgery today, so you may feel a little uncomfortable on an empty stomach. Please bear with it, and you can eat after the surgery."
"good."
Bai Zhi quickly began acupuncture on him.
"How long will the surgery take?" he asked.
"It will take about three hours," Bai Zhi said. "Relax, there will be no problems with the operation performed by a reputable doctor."
"Thanks."
Perhaps due to the effects of acupuncture, Gu Jingyi fell asleep again when Bai Zhi removed the needles at the end.
After the acupuncture was completed, preoperative preparations began, including intravenous infusion, catheterization, and so on, before the patient was taken to the operating room.
Leg surgery only requires spinal anesthesia.
Lu Ye, along with Political Commissar Zhang from their regiment and Bai Zhi, were all waiting in the operating room. This surgery was very special for each of them.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, your sister and Battalion Commander Gu used to be friends, right?"
Political Commissar Zhang suddenly asked him.
Lu Ye hesitated for a few seconds, then replied, "Yes."
Of course, Political Commissar Zhang did not explicitly ask what kind of friend it was, but when Lu Ye told them yesterday not to let her know the patient's name before the operation, they guessed what it was.
To be honest, if they had known about their relationship beforehand, the hospital probably wouldn't have agreed to let Lu Shan perform the surgery. Although they trusted Lu Shan's professional abilities, they were worried that personal feelings and emotions might interfere with the procedure.
The surgery lasted three and a half hours.
Those waiting outside are filled with anxiety.
Finally, at noon, the operating room door opened.
"How is the situation, Director Lu?"
"The surgery was successful." Lu Shan took off her mask, revealing a tired face. She looked at the people waiting outside the door and said, "But the drug poisoning in his body must be controlled to prevent it from affecting the wound."
These words were naturally meant for Bai Zhi.
The surgery was successful, and the important task now falls to Bai Zhi.
"In addition, the patient is very weak. There was not much bleeding during the operation, and no blood transfusion was needed. The patient needs to be monitored closely for 24 hours to prevent thrombosis. Director Wang and the others are still in the observation room and will bring the patient out in a while."
She gave Political Commissar Zhang a detailed report.
Then, his gaze fell on Lu Ye, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
Lu Ye felt a slight tremor in his heart when he met his sister's gaze.
I always felt that there was something more to his sister's look.
It seems like he has something to say.
Lu Ye said to Lu Shan, "Sister, go change your clothes. Xiao Zhi and I will wait for you outside to have dinner together."
Lu Shan politely declined his invitation, saying, "You guys go ahead and eat. I'm not hungry; I need to rest for a while. Besides, the patient's condition is special, and I need to monitor his condition closely. I can't leave right now; we can talk later."
"good."
Lu Shan went to change her clothes, and Lu Ye and Bai Zhi didn't go to eat either.
Gu Jingyi stayed in the surgical observation room for two hours. After the anesthesia wore off, he was wheeled out of the operating room and sent to a ward.
He had various instruments inserted into his body and was receiving oxygen.
In addition, facial bandages were applied.
The person was really...
He looks exactly like a mummy.
Lu Ye waited until Gu Jingyi came out, and then helped the doctor take him back to his ward. Once Gu Jingyi was fully awake, he was able to speak to him, "Battalion Commander Gu, the surgery was a success. You should get some rest."
"Yes, thank you."
Gu Jingyi was very weak. When he saw Lu Ye, he subconsciously peered into the ward with difficulty.
I wonder if it's because I slept for too long and had too many dreams.
He seemed to hear a long-lost, familiar voice in his dream.
Although he believed it was a dream, he still couldn't help but want to find a certain figure.
