Hearing Yang Jinglong's words, Lin Jie's face immediately darkened, and he unceremoniously reprimanded Xiaoxiao: "Didn't I remind you not to eat for twelve hours before surgery and not to drink water four hours before?"

"Are you a child of three or five who can't control themselves?"

Perhaps it was the first time Xiaoxiao was treated so sternly by someone, combined with the fear of surgery and the guilt of making a mistake, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears began to fall.

Han Wenbin was heartbroken upon seeing this, and he embraced Xiaoxiao, dissatisfied, saying: "Expert Lin, isn't it just a glass of water? Is it necessary to be so harsh?"

"Just a glass of water?"

Lin Jie was almost amused, let out a cold laugh, and said: "A glass of water can sometimes cost a life."

He was somewhat disdainful of talking further with Han Wenbin, so he turned to Yang Jinglong and said: "Dr. Yang, explain to these two who know nothing about why you can't eat or drink before surgery!"

Yang Jinglong smiled lightly and said in a soothing tone: "Not eating or drinking before surgery is an essential part of preoperative preparation, and it's a standard requirement for surgeries in hospitals. You should never take this requirement lightly."

"This requirement is necessary and mandatory!"

"It's mainly to prevent vomiting reactions during anesthesia or surgery, which could cause choking or aspiration pneumonia."

To ensure they understood, he explained in more detail.

"This vomiting reaction can occur during anesthesia, especially during tracheal intubation, suctioning, and extubation, because some anesthetics weaken the body's normal protective reflexes."

Under Yang Jinglong's detailed explanation, Han Wenbin and Xiaoxiao understood that under normal circumstances, the lungs have a protective cough reflex to prevent stomach contents from entering.

But after anesthesia, these protective reflexes disappear.

And the stomach acid is very irritating to the lungs; if it enters, it often causes aspiration pneumonia, which can lead to respiratory failure and even be life-threatening.

Therefore, if you undergo anesthesia after eating or drinking, the stomach contents might not have been fully digested and can be regurgitated, causing severe consequences.

Finally, Yang Jinglong solemnly said: "Since Xiaoxiao is undergoing throat surgery, the operation will involve a lot of stimulating procedures on the throat, which can easily trigger such a vomiting reaction!"

Han Wenbin also realized the seriousness of the issue and said awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, we were careless. Expert Lin, what should we do now?"

Lin Jie snorted angrily: "What else can be done? You can't just spit the water back out! Wait! Just wait!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and left without paying attention to anyone.

Han Wenbin watched Lin Jie walk away and murmured: "I didn't notice this small Lin... expert has quite a temper!"

Zhang Daya smiled and explained: "Dr. Lin is usually quite amiable, but once in the operating room, he becomes a completely different person, extremely serious."

"He doesn't tolerate anyone making mistakes, and during these times, we're all afraid of him."

"This is the demeanor of an expert-level doctor, and having a strict lead surgeon is good for both patients and the assisting surgical team, reducing the risk of surgical accidents!"

After Yang Jinglong's small defense of Lin Jie, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, you just need to wait three and a half more hours."

"Miss Xiaoxiao, I really like your singing; you're my idol. Can you sign an autograph for me?"

"I also like you very much, could you also sign for me?" Zhang Daya quickly chimed in.

Lin Jie returned to the office, mostly calmed down, and made a video call to Lin Miao.

Lin Miao appeared in the video, wrapped tightly in a blanket, with only a small face showing.

Seeing Lin Miao like this, Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh and asked: "What's up with you? Aren't you afraid of the heat?"

Lin Miao, with a crying tone, said: "Brother, I'm scared! Thinking about someone dying upstairs makes me scared! And the house is too big, the emptiness makes it even scarier."

Lin Jie realized his neglect and said tenderly: "Miaomiao, don't be afraid, death is like a lamp extinguished, there's nothing to fear."

He had an idea and quickly said: "Pour yourself a glass of red wine; you get drunk easily; once you're drunk, you'll sleep, and once you sleep, you won't be scared."

Lin Miao realized this was a good idea, immediately jumped off the bed, and quickly returned with a large glass of red wine, sipping it while saying to Lin Jie: "Brother, you must stay with me until I fall asleep before hanging up."

"Mm, brother will always be with you!"

Lin Jie watched Lin Miao down the glass of wine in a few gulps, her face quickly turning red, eyes a bit dreamy, asking: "Brother, is your surgery over?"

"No, the patient had an issue, so it will be a few more hours before the surgery."

"Oh, so you'll be staying up late then..."

Lin Jie saw Lin Miao, sitting on the bed, swaying like a tumbler, looking very cute.

"Brother, I can't... hold on much longer..."

With that, Lin Miao fell backward onto the bed, tossing her phone aside.

The screen on Lin Jie's phone turned pitch black, and occasionally, he could hear a few indistinct murmurs from Lin Miao, and soon there was no sound at all.

He happily turned off the phone, feeling a sense of happiness and satisfaction in his heart!

Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded from the hallway, followed by a loud shout: "Doctor, something's wrong, Fang Yan is in trouble!"

Lin Jie was startled, immediately got up, and rushed out of the office, almost bumping into the person coming in!

The person was Chen Lili, responsible for accompanying and caring for Fang Yan, who hastily said: "Fang Yan's stomach hurts, suddenly it hurts terribly; Dr. Zhu asked me to come get you."

Hearing this, Lin Jie quickly made his way to Fang Yan's room on the second floor, finding Fang Yan curled up with her arms hugging her stomach, rolling around on the bed, her face covered in sweat, constantly crying out.

Zhu Heping stood by the bed, uncertain of what to do, and upon seeing Lin Jie enter, looked as if he had seen a savior, hurriedly saying: "Dr. Lin, it's likely acute appendicitis, requiring surgery."

At this moment, hearing the commotion, Yang Jinglong and Zhang Daya also hurried over.

"Dr. Yang, Dr. Zhu, hold Fang Yan down! Daya, quickly take the X-ray machine."

Following Lin Jie's instructions, Yang Jinglong and Zhu Heping held down Fang Yan, making her lie flat on the bed.

Lin Jie discovered that Fang Yan's hand had been covering the lower left abdomen, essentially ruling out acute appendicitis since the appendix is located in the lower right abdomen, although a few individuals might have it on the left due to physiological anomalies.

Could it be intestinal spasms, intussusception, or ureteral stones?

With this in mind, Lin Jie pressed gently on Fang Yan's lower left abdomen, and she immediately let out a blood-curdling scream!

Lin Jie was also stunned, detecting a hard object with his sharp touch.

"Dr. Lin, I've brought the portable X-ray machine!" Zhang Daya said, panting heavily!

Lin Jie took the X-ray machine, asked the others to step back a bit, and took a shot of Fang Yan's abdomen, clearly showing a foreign object on the screen.

Seeing this foreign object, Lin Jie's heart sank, and he instructed: "Immediately move Fang Yan to the operating room for emergency surgery."
