21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 515 - 511 Post-Op (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)

Under the collaboration of three professors and Chen Yu, Daimon Michiko finally completed the third case in the world, and the first in Japan, of Inferior Vena Cava resection and autologous liver transplantation.

However, although she had completed such a difficult surgery, Daimon Michiko did not feel the joy that the other doctors in the operating room did. Instead, there was an indescribable doubt on her face. After merely expressing her appreciation for their hard work to Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, she left the operating room.

Seeing the doubt on Daimon Michiko's face, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi exchanged glances, feeling concerned that they might have given themselves away during the surgery.

Because during the surgery, there was a crisis when the patient's blood vessel ruptured and caused severe bleeding due to the nervousness of an assistant during Professor Shiye's anastomosis of the right renal vein and the artificial blood vessel.

Daimon Michiko had intended to push Professor Shiye's assistant aside and find the point of bleeding herself, but Chen Yu had stepped up to the operating table before her and quickly resolved the issue.

On the surface, everything seemed fine, but in reality, at that time, it was Hiromi Jounouchi secretly controlling the patient's blood flow, reducing the bleeding substantially, which allowed the patient to turn the corner. Chen Yu finding the bleeding point and completing the hemostasis was merely to align and conceal Hiromi Jounouchi's intervention.

Professor Shiye might not have noticed anything amiss, but for Daimon Michiko, having seen all kinds of situations as DoctorX, she might have sensed something was off.

However, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were not too worried. If push came to shove, they could steadfastly deny it. Daimon Michiko was not a research-oriented doctor, after all, she might only feel something was wrong without delving into it.

Yet, what Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi did not take seriously, for Professor Shiye, it was infuriating and humiliating.

"How can your hand tremble during surgery! Is this your first time on the operating table? Luckily, Professor Chen Yu corrected the mistake promptly, or else if the patient had died because of your error, could you bear that responsibility?" Outside the operating room, before even taking off his surgical gown, Professor Shiye was already loudly scolding the assistant who had erred during the surgery.

Hearing Professor Shiye's reprimand, Professors Kobayakawa and Tashita who were still in the operating room, hurried out and stopped the enraged Professor Shiye.

"Shiye, let it go, let it go. Anyone could make a mistake during surgery; there's no need to be so angry; it's not worth it."

"That's right, didn't we all have shaky hands when we were young? Didn't you also rupture a patient's blood vessel back in the day? The surgeon in charge at that time just told you to calm down before continuing the surgery, and there were no repercussions afterwards," said Professor Kobayakawa, who was of the same tenure as Professor Shiye, even bringing up the past to persuade him.

Although Professor Shiye was scolding fiercely, Chen Yu could still hear his protection for the assistant in his words, as there was no mention of any punishment for the assistant from beginning to end, only plain scolding and stressing that the assistant could not bear the responsibility.

After all, the assistant that was able to partake in such an important surgery must have been valued by Professor Shiye on a regular basis. Even though a mistake occurred, Professor Shiye would certainly not wish to punish him.

However, with other department's professors present, not dealing with the issue would be a loss of face. Scolding the assistant in front of everyone certainly made it difficult for him to save face, but it was preferable to being held accountable for a medical accident and facing disciplinary action.

Seeing Professor Shiye gradually calming down under the persuasion of Professors Kobayakawa and Tashita, yet still glancing at him from time to time, Chen Yu smiled inwardly before approaching the scolded assistant and asked with a deliberately expressionless face, "Why did you make a mistake?"

"I was too… too nervous during the surgery," replied the assistant who had just been reprimanded by Professor Shiye, his voice faltering from fear. A mishap during the surgery could lead to serious consequences for the one primarily responsible; in the worst case, he could even be dismissed. Now with Chen Yu's expressionless demeanor, he stammered while speaking.

"Nervous? For a surgeon, the most important thing is to remain calm at all times. If you're this nervous over something minor, what would you do if you had to take the lead in surgery? What if the patient is dying and waiting for you to make a life-saving decision? How can a patient trust their life to you with such mental fortitude?" Chen Yu questioned the assistant, not angry but rather dissatisfied with his psychological quality, and took this opportunity to give him a stern reminder.

Hiromi Jounouchi, watching Chen Yu give the assistant a piece of his mind, thought it was time to help Chen Yu step down, so she stepped forward and said, "That's enough. Accidentally damaging a blood vessel during surgery is nothing unusual; if doctors were as nervous as you, patients would have died long ago. Practice more, and don't stand here now; the patient is being moved out."

Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi's words, Chen Yu also turned to the assistant and said, "Did you hear that? Get out of the way. Go back and work on your mental resilience, otherwise how can we trust you to assist in the next surgery?"

After speaking, Chen Yu left with Hiromi Jounouchi, following the patient out.

"You heard it, didn't you? Now go back and reflect on your actions!" Professor Shiye said, watching the assistant still standing there, and hurriedly told him to get lost.

"Hiromi, why did you suddenly intervene in the surgery today? You didn't need to step in; I could have handled it," said Chen Yu to Hiromi Jounouchi in his office after the patient had been moved to the ICU ward.

"This surgery was so important; what if you couldn't find the patient's bleeding point quickly enough? Anything can happen during surgery, and ensuring the patient's life is the top priority, isn't it?" Hiromi Jounouchi spoke somewhat nonchalantly, confident about whether her intervention would be discovered or not.

Just as Chen Yu was about to say something else, the voice of Shirai Rena was heard from outside, "Dr. Daimon? You can't go in there! The professor is talking with Dr. Jounouchi; wait a moment!"

"I say, you two, did you do something during the patient's hemorrhage in the surgery that I don't know about?" However, Shirai Rena couldn't stop Daimon Michiko, who pushed open the door to Chen Yu's office and, seeing Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi talking, directly asked them.

Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi exchanged a glance, then turned to Daimon Michiko, "Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, Daimon-san."
