Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 482 The Simulated Surgery

With his eyes locked on Anna, Dr. Cooper noticed that in contrast to the male doctor’s excitement, she looked rather calm. She was so sensible that it was difficult for him to believe she was only in her early thirties.

“To be honest, I didn’t think you would make such a decision,” Dr. Cooper said as he removed his silver-framed glasses. His glasses smacked against the desk, and the sound echoed down the hall through the microphone.

The male doctor stood up again and said aggressively while Cooper rubbed his brow to calm himself, “It is possible to save two people if perform two surgeries simultaneously. Although there may be unforeseeable outcomes, it is better than giving up on the other patient.”

The man’s demeanor was hostile. He noticed that Dr. Cooper appeared upset, so he decided to take advantage of the situation. Everyone present could tell that he was desperate to win.

Anna seemed to anticipate his question and didn’t want to pay attention to him. But she couldn’t help but frown because he seemed so confident and arrogant. In a mocking way, Anna put her hands into the pockets of her white coat and said to competitor No. 3, “Do you genuinely want to save lives, or are you taking advantage of this opportunity to build your reputation? Are you now trying to refute my viewpoint on an academic level, or are you trying to use me to improve your personal image? If the second possibility is the case, sorry, but | believe you have chosen the wrong profession. You are not qualified to be a doctor because you are an opportunist.” 481 The Simulated Surgery: ol Anna sat down quietly after she said that. The man took a long time to understand what she was saying, and then he glared at her angrily. Cooper calmed down and put an end to their argument. He put on his glasses and looked at Anna, saying, “I’d like to tell you about the decision | made at the time. In fact, | chose to perform two surgeries at the same time.” His words sparked another round of discussion in the audience. The male doctor raised his chin and seemed keen on seeing Anna humiliated. Then, Dr.

Cooper said something unexpected, “I knew the little girl had liver damage and blood in her lungs. However, the woman’s i

were far worse than | had anticipated. Many glass fragments were shot into her body during the explosion. One of the thin shards of glass entered her body and stopped less than a millimeter from her heart artery. | had to concentrate on getting rid of this fragment.”

When he said this, he had a look of pain and remorse, “The child’s condition suddenly deteriorated while | was removing the fragment. Her liver was bleeding and she had a lot of pressure in her chest. All of the attending doctors were terrified as a result. Finally, | decided to save the child, And unfortunately, her mother died.”

Dr. Cooper found it depressing to recall these details. And Anna’s words triggered him to reflect on himself. Dr. Cooper had to admit that he had thoughts he shouldn’t have had before the end of his exchange studies, He desperately needed to be recognized. Back then, he thought that if the operation had been successful, he would become a legend in the medical world. However, he failed.

although her chances of survival were slim, she did not deserve to die in that way.” Cooper sighed and continued to reflect on himself. He 481 The Simulated Surgery: od restrained himself from crying.

The male doctor had not anticipated the truth to be so shocking. He lowered his head, embarrassed, without saying anything.

After a brief silence, Dr. Cooper stood up and said, “That was only a discussion, and it won’t determine your final grade. The real competition will be live real-time surgery.” He took a deep breath and added, “I have to leave now because | still have work to do. The host will announce the specific rules.”

After Dr. Cooper left the scene, the host said, “Dr. Cooper shared with us an experience he had in Ireland, which sparked our thoughts. Next, We’re going to have a live surgery competition.”

With that, he reached out and gestured toward the stage. By then, tables and chairs had been replaced by a number of operating tables.

” We recreated the young woman’s specific injuries from the accident by using the models on the stage, and all six doctors have to save them both. Each contestant will be assisted by two nurses. Finally, we will choose the top three doctors who complete the surgery in the shortest time and with the highest quality.”

Then twelve assistant nurses carried six-foot-tall figures onto the stage. The host’s words instantly heated up the atmosphere on stage. Anna froze as she stared at the models on the operating table.

“Every place that requires operation is equipped with a sensor device, and the alarm will be triggered if you make the wrong move. If that happens, you’ll be eliminated.”

Later on, competitors dressed up in surgical gowns and sterilized themselves. Several judges also walked around the stage, watching their performances. The cameras focused on the models, casting images onto the big screen. 481 The Simulated Surgery oil

Standing beside the operating bed, Anna took a deep breath and cut open the patient’s abdomen. The patient suffered liver and kidney damage and blood in her chest cavity. A shard of glass near her heart’s aorta was threatening her life. While she was operating on the models, an assistant nurse connected the instruments and read out the patient’s relevant data.

Even though it was only a simulated surgery, the environment of the drill site was very realistically shaped. Because so many people were watching them, the participants felt even more stressed than when they were performing actual surgery.

“Prepare to remove the fragment.” Anna put on the medical magnifying glass and asked her assistant for the scalpels. She tried to clip the glass fragment while holding her breath.

The blood vessels surrounding the model’s heart artery were extremely dense. The glass pierced the model’s skin and cut many tiny blood vessels, resulting in a bloodshot wound. The fragment was not as easy to find as Anna had hoped. With caution, Anna penetrated surgical forceps through the blood-red “skin”. Her fingertips touched its texture, causing her to sweat all over her body.

“Found it!” A moment later, she exclaimed softly. She then opened her surgical forceps carefully and caught the fragment. She paused for a moment before gently withdrawing her hand. Just as she thought she was about to make it, Anna heard an alarm. Taken aback, she nearly dropped the forceps.

“Number nineteen is out.” The host announced regretfully. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Anna froze for a while and soon came back to her senses. Her wrists gradually became numb, making it even more difficult for her to do what she needed to do next.
