The subsequent footsteps arrived at the door of the operating room. Cao Yong turned in, saw the foreigner there, and looked at Dr. Tong.
Tong Changbo looked back at him: I'm serious, I'm determined to watch it live.
Just watch it, since I agreed to it before. Cao Yong took a few more steps forward.
Doctor Charlie extended his hand and shook his hand, greeting him:
“Is she your student?”
Is she your student?
Cao Yong: “No.”
He never thought of her as his student. In fact, she was the one who taught him techniques from the first time they met. However, it would not be easy for others to understand the profound meaning of his words all at once.
Dr. Tong, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Charlie, turned around, looked into his cool eyes, and said as if a hint of surprise flashed across them: I didn't expect that you, Cao Yong, are so brave in expressing your relationship.

Neurosurgeons are funny.
While her senior was talking to several teachers, Xie Wanying seized the opportunity to walk to the operating bed. With the assistance of the nurses and anesthesiologists, several people adjusted the patient's surgical position.
"What do you think she will do?"
(What do you think she would do?)
Dr. Charlie asked Dr. Cao Yong and Dr. Tong, because they were members of the surgical team and should have attended the meeting and knew some of the content.
"Supine position?"
(Supine position?)
That's what it seemed like, as several medical staff were laying the patient on his back.
"Reverse Trendelenburg?"
(The translation is reverse Trendelenburg position. Originally, Trendelenburg position means the head is low and the feet are high, so reverse Trendelenburg means the head is high and the feet are low. Generally, the head of the bed is raised at an angle of 20 to 30 degrees, and sometimes it can be as extreme as 40 to 45 degrees.)
The medical staff is raising the head of the patient's bed. Now comes the key point. The surgical team now needs to determine how high the head of the bed should be raised.
The most common side effect of raising the head of the bed is that it puts a strain on the patient's cardiopulmonary circulation. Fortunately, this patient is young and has a strong tolerance. Even so, the on-site medical staff, who pay attention to safety, carefully observed the patient's vital signs on the monitoring device while operating. If the head of the bed is raised further, it will become what Dr. Charlie said below:
"Fowler position?"
(Half seat?)
It really means letting the patient sit in a semi-sitting position.
Dr. Charlie's facial expression was startled.
Other people at the scene could read the word written in large letters on the foreign expert's face: bold.
What surprised Dr. Charlie was not that the semi-sitting position could not be used, but that the semi-sitting position was not a supine position that most neurosurgeons dared to challenge. Although it has been mentioned above that there are many advantages to using it for transsphenoidal surgery, in fact, most doctors only dare to adopt the conservative head-high feet-low position. In the neurosurgery circle, those who dare to habitually choose the semi-sitting position can basically be called experienced experts.
A medical student chose the position of an experienced expert in his plan? Doctor Charlie turned his head and looked at Doctor Tong and Cao Yong: It was you who chose the position, right?
The foreign experts do not think that a medical student can make such a bold decision. The medical student probably does not understand the meaning of choosing the position of the experienced experts.
Cao Yong didn't say anything.
Doctor Tong kept the foreigner in suspense: Just keep watching.
Dr. Charlie looked back and found that this young Dr. Xie really had the style of an experienced and capable person.
Whether it is a semi-sitting position or a head-high feet-low position, these are just the first steps. The next steps must be fully connected to be the correct neurosurgical position: head position.
