3: Chapter 3: SSS-level surgery rating! Hidden title obtained: Enemy of Yama!

"Impossible..." Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang murmured.

Zhao Ming was also stunned; he stared at the numbers on the monitor, his voice changing.

"Blood pressure, the blood pressure is coming back!"

"56/30, 60/35, it's still rising!"

The bleeding had stopped, and the transfused blood and fluids were finally starting to take effect.

But Lu Chen did not stop.

His left hand remained motionless in the compression position, while his right hand reached out.

"Suture, needle driver."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

The Scrub Nurse in the Operating Room hesitated for a moment and looked at Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang.

Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang was silent for two seconds, then nodded.

The Nurse handed over the suture and the needle driver.

Lu Chen's right hand took the needle driver and began Suturing that torn small artery in that depth, which was almost invisible to the naked eye.

His movements were extremely fast.

Not a frantic fast, but a speed where every stitch was precise to the extreme.

Needle in, needle out, knotting, cutting the thread.

All in one smooth motion.

Everyone present stared with their eyes wide open to the limit.

Because they saw something impossible.

An intern, at a depth of eight centimeters behind the peritoneum, completed the vascular Suturing of a small artery with one hand.

Five stitches.

The spacing of each stitch was perfectly consistent.

The tightness of every knot was exactly the same.

The whole process took less than two minutes.

[Perfect-level Suturing Technique activated]

[Suturing evaluation: Perfect. Estimated postoperative infection rate: 0.3%]

Lu Chen slowly withdrew his left hand.

There was no more bleeding.

He looked down; the small artery behind the peritoneum had been repaired tightly.

"The first bleeding point has been handled."

Then, without any pause, his gaze turned to the second bleeding point.

A tear in a branch of the Superior mesenteric artery.

This position was much shallower than the first, making it much easier to handle.

For the current Lu Chen, this was a freebie.

Using the same technique, he first performed Manual Hemostasis, then used suture to repair it.

Three minutes.

The second bleeding point was also handled.

There was no more active bleeding in the abdominal cavity.

Lu Chen began to clear the residual blood and clots in the abdominal cavity, his movements flowing like water, without a hint of hesitation.

After the cleanup, he checked all the organs.

The liver was not ruptured.

The spleen was not damaged.

There was a slight serosal abrasion on the intestinal tract, requiring no special treatment.

Other organs were intact.

"Starting to close the abdomen," Lu Chen said.

Then he picked up the needle driver and began Suturing layer by layer.

Peritoneum, one layer.

Muscle fascia, one layer.

Subcutaneous tissue, one layer.

Skin, the final layer.

The Suturing of each layer was so clean and crisp it made one's scalp tingle.

Especially the final layer of skin Suturing.

Lu Chen used Subcuticular Continuous Suturing; after finishing, that fifteen-centimeter-long wound was incredibly neat.

It looked like a standard demonstration drawn in a textbook.

No, even more standard than a textbook.

Nurse Wang stood at the door, her hands trembling.

She had been an Operating Room Nurse for fifteen years, seen countless surgeries, and various levels of lead surgeons.

But she had never seen Suturing like this.

Fast, steady, and beautiful.

She even felt it wasn't quite real.

Lu Chen put down the needle driver and took a step back.

"Surgery complete."

He glanced at the Operating Room clock.

From the moment he started to the end, it took a total of eleven minutes and forty-eight seconds.

The system's estimate for him was twelve minutes; he was even twelve seconds faster.

Zhao Ming stared at the monitor, his voice trembling.

"Blood pressure 92/60, heart rate 98, oxygen saturation 96, vital signs are stable."

"He... he's alive!"

There was silence in the Operating Room for about five seconds.

Then Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang's voice broke the silence.

"Little Lu, who on earth are you?"

Lu Chen turned his head to look at him, his expression returning to his usual gentle and low-key self.

"I'm just an intern, Teacher Liu."

Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang looked at that excessively young face, opened his mouth, then closed it again.

An intern.

After he had declared to give up.

Pushed aside the Resident Physician and took the position of the lead surgeon.

Using Manual Hemostasis, he pinched a small artery hidden eight centimeters behind the peritoneum.

Then completed the vascular Suturing with one hand.

Then handled the second bleeding point.

Then closed the abdomen beautifully.

The whole process took eleven minutes.

While he, Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang, had struggled for nearly twenty minutes before and hadn't even figured out where the bleeding point was.

Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang suddenly felt that his eight years of medical study had been in vain.

Resident Physician Zhang Lei stood to the side, the expression on his face very colorful.

What did he say just now?

He said Lu Chen was an intern who didn't even have a Medical License, so why was he on the operating table?

Now he wished he could swallow those words back.

Everyone in the Operating Room looked at Lu Chen.

The Scrub Nurse, the Circulating Nurse, the Anesthesiologist Zhao Ming, Resident Physician Zhang Lei, and Attending Physician Liu Wenqiang.

Every person's eyes held the same emotion: shock.

The kind of shock after being completely crushed.

Lu Chen didn't care about these gazes.

He lowered his head and opened the system panel in his mind.

[Surgery completed! Calculating...]

[Achievement unlocked:]

[Special Achievement: Turning the tide after the Attending Physician declared to give up! Obtained Hidden Title: enemy of yama (Elementary)]

[Title Effect: When worn, when a dying patient is near the host, the rate of decline of vital signs slows by 50%]

[gratitude points Calculation:]

[Patient survived, gratitude points gained: 200 points]

[Draw attempts +1]

Lu Chen looked at those golden numbers on the panel, feeling complicated.

Fifty-five thousand experience points, a hidden title, and a draw opportunity.

He really hit the jackpot this time.

But now was not the time to study these things.

He closed the panel and began helping to clean up the Operating Room.

As an intern, the post-operative cleanup work had always been his job.

While cleaning, he digested everything that had just happened in his head.

The system was real.

The skill injection was also real.

Eye of Truth could see every detail inside the patient's body, accurate down to every capillary.

This thing was just too heaven-defying.

Lu Chen thought while mopping the floor, if he could keep accumulating experience and improving skills like this...

How long would it take for him to climb from intern to Resident Physician, Attending Physician, Associate Chief Physician, and Chief Physician?

Don't think too far ahead; handle the immediate matters first.

His most important goal now was to stay in this Hospital and then enter the Emergency Department.

The Emergency Department had the most types of diseases and the fastest pace, making it the most efficient department for leveling up.

As for the surgery just now...

He knew that doing such a thing with his status as an intern would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Performing surgery as the lead surgeon without a Medical License was a serious violation in any Hospital.

But he didn't regret it.

That man was forty-two years old, and his child was only in Elementary school.

If he hadn't stepped up, that person would have died.

Rules were important, but life was more important.
