Chapter 61 Section 61

The artificial heart-lung device stopped, of course under Tamura's operation.Shimabara's heart contractility has recovered, and after gradually reducing the blood delivered by the artificial heart and lungs, all blood circulation is finally given to the heart.It was Nishien who ordered Tamura to stop the artificial heart-lung device. During the use of the artificial heart-lung device, heparin is injected to prevent the blood from clotting in the tubes, but after the artificial heart-lung device is stopped, it becomes a hindrance because it will make it difficult to stop the bleeding from the surgical site.For this reason, heparin should be neutralized with protamine sulfate to stop bleeding.Sutures can only be performed after the hemostasis is confirmed. Even so, blood still accumulates near the heart, so when the chest is sutured, two catheters are inserted, and at the same time, wires are connected to the heart so that the wires are exposed outside the body.This is to prevent abnormalities in the heart later, so that the heart can be stimulated with an electric current.This step is not only a large aneurysm operation, it is necessary in almost all heart operations.At this time, the entire operating room was filled with a sense of peace of mind that they had finally overcome the difficulties.

The sawn sternum was fixed with steel wire, and finally the skin was sutured.Yuan Gong said he wanted to take over, but Xi Yuan shook his head.Xi Ji felt his determination to complete the operation himself. Xiyuan raised his head and looked around everyone's faces. "The stitching is complete, everyone has worked hard." Everyone saluted together and said in unison that everyone has worked hard. The door of the operating room was wide open. With the joint efforts of doctors and nurses, Shimahara was moved onto the push bed, while Sayama continued to operate the artificial respirator.

The cart starts to move with the nurse as the main force.Next, he must be moved to the intensive care unit to observe the postoperative situation. Yuan Gong walked to the locker room, Xi Ji followed behind him, but Xi Yuan didn't follow.Xi Ji felt strange, turned around and saw him squatting on the ground. "Professor..." Xi Ji rushed to his side. "Are you all right?" Yuan Gong seemed to have noticed it too, and stopped to look at the two of them. "Professor, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly. Xiyuan shook his hand and smiled wryly. "It's not a big deal, just a little tired. After all, it's the first time to have an operation during a power outage."

But the actual situation ran counter to his words. He couldn't stand up immediately, his shoulders were heaving, he was panting hard, and his face was very bad.Apparently, the extreme tension had upset his body's circulatory system. "You'd better not move," Xi Ji said. "I'm fine. You guys go to the intensive care unit, I'll be there soon." "But……" "Ice Room," Yuan Gong said to Xi Ji, "I'll come over to the intensive care unit. You accompany the professor first. I'll contact Dr. Yamauchi and ask him to come over immediately."

"It's troublesome." Xi Ji replied. After Yuan Gong left, Xiyuan still squatted, closed his eyes, and took slow breaths again and again. "Are you okay?" Xi Ji asked again. "Don't worry, it's better." He smiled self-deprecatingly. "How can a cardiovascular surgeon collapse after surgery?" Xi Ji remembered that he had heard that he had congenital heart disease before. "Would you rather lie down?" "Lying on the operating table?" After finishing speaking, Xiyuan sat down on the floor leaning against the wall, sighed a long time, and shook his head. "I didn't expect to be exhausted like this, and I am also old."

"That's not the case. The operation just now can only be performed by Professor Xiyuan." Xi Ji said. "It's so exciting, I'm so touched." "Really?" Xiyuan stared at her fixedly. "You really think so?" "Yes." Xi Ji nodded. "Really? That's good." Xiyuan lowered his gaze first, then raised his head again. "True aneurysm of the aortic arch... the name of this disease should have a very important meaning to you." "Yes, it's the same as my father's disease name." "It's the same for the doctor who holds the knife." Xiyuan said. "That's why I want you to see it. Moreover, since I want you to see it, the operation must be successful no matter what."

"That's why you want me to be your assistant..." Xiyuan nodded. "I knew you would be skeptical, especially with the current relationship between me and your mother, I think your skepticism must be deeper. Knowing that you are targeting a doctor, guessing becomes certainty." Xi Ji lowered his head.What he said was the truth, so she was powerless to refute. "It's no wonder you are skeptical." Xiyuan said, "I am very confident in your father's operation, I thought it would be successful, but I didn't expect it to end like that. Of course I was blamed. Because something unexpected happened An accident will fail in the end. But it was impossible for you to understand at the time. In fact, besides the operation, I also have a few things I want to tell you."

"Aside from surgery?" Xiyuan nodded. "I was taken aback when your father came to the clinic for the first time because to me, he was an unforgettable person." Xi Ji immediately understood what he was referring to. "It's about Professor Xiyuan's son." She said softly. "Yes. Hunting down my son who died in a car accident is your father. However, Mr. Himuro doesn't seem to have noticed. I am very troubled, wondering if I should be his attending physician." "You really hate my father..." Hearing what Xi Ji said, Xiyuan shook his head greatly. "I don't hate Himuro-san. My son is going to die, it's his own fault, or it's the parents who raised him that way. Mr. Himuro is just doing what a policeman should do. But, I don't know that Mr. Himuro will What do you think, if he knows that the attending physician is the father of the delinquent boy who died in a car accident, maybe he will be worried about entrusting his body to me. Based on this idea, I don’t think I should be his attending physician. In fact, Once I made up my mind, I told Himuro-san, and of course, I explained the reason."

what!Xi Ji couldn't help but exclaimed. "You told my father?" "Say it. Surprisingly, Mr. Himuro also recognized me and was thinking about when to speak. So we talked a lot, not only about the surgery, but from the very beginning..., from the time of my son's death We started talking about the car accident. Mr. Himuro said that although he didn’t think he was at fault, it’s only natural for me to hate him. So, if I feel any repulsion, it doesn’t matter if I don’t want to be his attending physician. So I turned Come over and ask him, does he have any objection to me holding the knife?"

"What did my father say?" "He said that in fact, he always felt that his heart was hanging in mid-air. He didn't know what the attending physician Xi Yuan thought of him, and whether Xi Yuan should really perform the operation. He also felt uneasy. However, he expressed and After I talked about it, those thoughts disappeared." "Disappeared?" "He said, leave everything to me. I remember what he said." Xiyuan looked into the distance, and continued: "I believe that Dr. Xiyuan is a person who tries his best to achieve his mission. Such a person, no matter in Under no circumstances will he give up his mission..."

The moment she heard these words, a gust of wind blew in Xi Ji's heart, and this gust of wind swept away all the dark clouds that had cast shadows on her. "Mission is my father's favorite word." Xiyuan nodded. "It should be. I am very happy to hear Mr. Himuro say that. However, even if we reach a consensus, others may not be able to accept it. So, I decided to tell his wife...that is, your mother. You Remember? It was the day I first met you." When Xiyuan mentioned it, the scene vividly reappeared in her mind.In the cafe in front of the station, Lily Hui and Xiyuan met.She still remembered Bai Hehui's embarrassed expression when she saw her walk into the coffee shop. "So you were talking about this at that time?" "Your mother said to leave everything to me. Since her husband agreed, she has no objection." "I see……" Xiyuan smiled slightly. "There is one more thing I hope you can believe. It is true that I love your mother very much now, but it was a long time after Mr. Himuro passed away that I began to have such feelings. At that time, I only thought about what to do Compensating you mother and daughter, maybe I shouldn't let this relationship develop into a relationship between a man and a woman, but at least I can guarantee that when I operated on your father, neither I nor your mother had such thoughts in their hearts." "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier?" "I really want to tell you, because I already knew you were suspicious. However, I don't think you will agree no matter how you explain it, and I don't think you will fully believe what I said, because after all, I am The one who made you lose your father." Xi Ji could not express any objection to Xi Yuan's words.She really thought so, no matter how she explained it in words, even if she pretended to accept it at the time, she would definitely not believe it in her heart, nor would she forgive Xi Yuan. "I also considered breaking up with her." Xiyuan said, "because your suspicion of her also caused her a lot of pain. But the result of our discussion, I think this is not the fundamental solution, and it is not good for you. If I Back off, you'll never find out it was a misunderstanding, there will always be a wound in your heart that your father was killed and your mother turned her back on you. To be honest, I was very distressed. So when I heard that you were going to be a doctor , thought it might be the only chance." "Chance?" "No matter how I explain it in words, I can't let you know what kind of doctor I am, and what kind of mentality I perform your father's operation. I think, only by showing you my operation can you understand. If that doesn't work, then there's really nothing you can do. Today's surgery, for me, for your mother, and for you, is a fateful surgery." Xi Ji took a breath, knowing that she should express something, but couldn't think of what to say.The image of Nishizono desperately operating in the dark reappeared before his eyes.It turned out that that was also the message he wanted to convey. "...I'm sorry." These words were finally squeezed out. "Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted." Xiyuan grinned. "Has the misunderstanding been cleared up?" Yes, she replied. "I want to be a doctor like the professor, and I respect the professor very much." Nishizono looked away embarrassingly, then patted his knee. "Go to the intensive care unit! Yuan Gong is still waiting." Saying that, when he was about to stand up, Xiyuan groaned, pressed his chest and squatted down again. "Please don't move!" Xi Ji walked through the locker room and ran to the corridor wearing a surgical gown.Yamauchi was walking quickly, and Yoko Suganuma followed behind him. "Professor Xiyuan's angina attack!" Xi Ji shouted. Yamauchi rushed into the operating room, and Yoko Suganuma rushed to the nursing station for help. Xi Ji was also preparing to return to the operating room.At this moment, a figure caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eyes, and it was Bai Hehui standing there uneasy. "He... is it okay?" Xi Ji nodded, stared at her mother and said, "Don't worry, I will save him, and I will never let the second father die."
