Chapter 168 Fear of Absolute Silence
Around 7:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming and Qi Yue drove to the district public security bureau headquarters on the north bank of the Pujiang River.
The two men reported their identities and were led by a police officer to the underground civil air defense shelter via elevator.
Yu Zhiming walked into the innermost room of the corridor and unexpectedly discovered a large tent that almost occupied the entire room.
Qi Yue, who was traveling with us, said that this was a field medical surgical tent from the military.
Only by borrowing military equipment can the conditions for surgery be quickly met here without making major changes.
This made Yu Zhiming deeply agree.
At the same time, he was also wondering who Shen Zhe was and how he could get the military's field medical equipment.
Seeing that Teacher Qi had no intention of introducing the man's background, Yu Zhiming wisely did not ask any further questions.
He entered the tent alone and found that it was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, by a transparent plastic sheet.
Yu Zhiming could clearly see the inner room, which was a standard neurosurgery operating room equipped with all kinds of equipment.
Shen Zhe, the patient with a shaved head, was sitting comfortably on the operating chair of the neurosurgery department.
Next to the operating chair stood Dr. You Weixian, wearing surgical gown and known as the best surgeon at Huashan Hospital.
In addition to Dr. You, there is also an anesthesiologist and an operating nurse.
Yu Zhiming first waved and greeted Dr. You in the inner room through a transparent isolation plastic sheet, and then began to prepare for the operation.
He changed into surgical sterile clothing, put on a surgical cap and mask, and then washed and disinfected his hands.
Then, Yu Zhiming walked into the inner operating room through an isolation passage with two sealed plastic doors.
Then, with the help of the operating nurse, he began to put on surgical gloves and surgical gown.
As soon as he put on the surgical gown, Yu Zhiming felt it was extremely heavy and uncomfortable.
It was not until then that he realized that this was not only a surgical gown, but also an anti-radiation suit.
Wearing the heavy and bulky surgical gown, Yu Zhiming slowly walked to the operating chair.
"First time wearing radiation protection scrubs?"
In response to Dr. You's question, Yu Zhiming nodded, and then gestured to Dr. You with his eyes to the ECG monitors and other monitoring equipment that were running nearby.
Doctor You explained softly, "After successful anesthesia, these instruments will be turned off according to your request."
Anesthesia is the first dangerous hurdle that patients need to overcome before the operation officially begins.
Every year, there are some cases of adverse reactions and even deaths caused by general anesthesia in patients across the country.
Therefore, when anesthetists are giving patients anesthesia, they must always pay attention to changes in the patient's physiological values.
After explaining, Dr. You met Yu Zhiming's gaze and asked, "Are you ready?"
Yu Zhiming nodded again.
Doctor You looked at Shen Zhe on the operating chair and asked softly, "Mr. Shen, are you ready?"
Shen Zhe did not respond immediately, but looked at Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, I thought I could be indifferent to life and death and treat it with a normal mind, but I need to tell you something."
"It is true that there is great fear between life and death. I am afraid."
"I want to live."
"Doctor Yu, can I trust you?"
Yu Zhiming looked at Shen Zhe and found that his forehead was a little shiny. He was sweating and was really nervous.
"Mr. Shen, among all the surgeries I've participated in, I've never failed in the part of the surgery I was responsible for."
"Mr. Shen, I don't want my surgical record to be broken by you."
Shen Zhe stared at Yu Zhiming's eyes, which shone like obsidian, for a while, then turned his gaze to Dr. You.
"Doctor You, I'm ready to start."
Dr. You signaled to the anesthesiologist waiting nearby with his eyes.
The next moment, the anesthesiologist covered Shen Zhe's mouth and nose with the inhalation anesthesia mask in his hand...
After Shen Zhe lost consciousness, the anesthesiologist gave him further deep anesthesia through intravenous drip.
Yu Zhiming waited for five or six minutes before the anesthesiologist gave him permission to perform the operation.
Next, it is Yu Zhiming’s turn to take control of the time.
"Turn off all devices..."
"The anesthesiologist and nurse left."
"Doctor You can stay alone..."
"Doctor You, please turn off the lights and adjust your breathing and heartbeat, trying to keep them regular and steady..."
At the moment when the room was plunged into absolute darkness, Yu Zhiming's right hand had already been placed on the back of Shen Zhe's head, at the spot that needed puncture...
While adjusting his physical and mental state, he began to collect the sound of blood flowing in Shen Zhe's brain...
Before, Yu Zhiming was always accustomed to following the sound of blood flowing, rushing forward with the blood in a blood vessel.
Now, Yu Zhiming was marking out the blood vessels that appeared in front of the tunnel one by one, like drilling a hole.
As time went by, more and more red blood vessels of varying thickness appeared in front of Yu Zhiming's "eyes", crisscrossing and appearing as disorderly as old tree roots.
They gradually became clear...
This scene suddenly made Yu Zhiming's mind move, and he thought of a movie scene.
A skilled thief has to pass through a corridor filled with infrared rays.
This association made Yu Zhiming very interested...
Full of energy, Yu Zhiming continued to push the depth of his exploration, striving to find the optimal puncture path in the dense forest of blood vessels...
What he didn't know was that Dr. You was suffering.
The absolute darkness without any light was acceptable to You Weixian, who just closed his eyes in the dark night.
But the absolute silence, the silence without a single sound, was too much for him to bear.
For the first time, You Weixian realized that silence, deathly silence, could actually cause such great fear in people.
He felt like he was abandoned by the whole world.
Although You Weixian knew that Dr. Yu was only three or four meters in front of him on the right, he still felt anxious and wanted to shout.
He used the calmness and tenacity he had developed over more than 20 years of work to suppress his inner panic.
But the endless darkness seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth to devour him.
You Weixian wanted to scream, wanted to run away...
Suddenly, a loud bang was like a bolt from the blue, waking You Weixian from his boundless fear.
At the same time, You Weixian's eyes were bright.
He closed his eyes involuntarily, like a fish returning to water, bending over and breathing in big gulps of air.
"Doctor You, what's wrong with you?"
You Weixian, who was covered in sweat, opened his eyes and stood up straight again.
He looked at Yu Zhiming who was standing next to the operating chair and said with a guilty tone, "Doctor Yu, I'm having a phobia attack."
"I didn't know I was afraid of this absolute silence and darkness."
"I'm sorry to affect your work, Doctor Yu. I'll leave here first..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "No need to leave. I've already found two puncture paths."
"So fast?" You Weixian exclaimed in surprise.
The ordeal just now made him feel like a year had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed.
Only then did he see that there was a pair of surgical forceps on the floor not far from his feet.
You Weixian suddenly realized that the light switch must have been smashed open by the surgical tweezers.
In the endless darkness, how accurate is this?
You Weixian didn't bother to think about it, walked over to Yu Zhiming and started working.
Under Yu Zhiming's guidance, he drilled two small incisions in Shen Zhe's skull.
Immediately afterwards, You Weixian saw Yu Zhiming insert two long puncture needles one after another quickly and efficiently.
The speed was so fast that You Weixian didn't have time to worry.
What a tiger!
Or is it more appropriate to say that one is skilled and courageous?
Seeing that the puncture was completed, You Weixian reached out and took a small box made of heavy metal lead.
"Doctor Yu..."
You Weixian wanted to give a reminder, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Yu Zhiming hiding at the exit as if he was escaping.
This is too much of a sacrifice. You Weixian was speechless.
"Doctor You, our Yu family is counting on me to carry on the family line. I can't take any risks."
"Doctor You, can you do it alone?"
You Weixian nodded vigorously and opened the lead box.
Six specially made metal radiation rods, about two millimeters in diameter and eight millimeters long, come into view.
Without any delay, You Weixian pushed the six metal radiation rods through the hollow tube of the puncture needle and into the center of the brain tumor one by one at the fastest speed...
