Seeing Liu Ziang's grave expression, Zhao Heng instantly understood his difficult predicament.
Whether it's brain vascular repair or handling a cerebral aneurysm, both are immensely challenging surgeries. Even considered together, given Liu Ziang's level of expertise, he should still be able to handle them.
But the most critical issue now is the patient's unstable blood pressure, and the two high-difficulty operations must be completed successively, with simply not enough time.
Thinking of the perfect-level brain vascular repair technique that just merged and fell from Liu Ziang, Zhao Heng composed himself and said to Liu Ziang, "Senior, let me handle the brain vascular repair."
"You do it?"
Liu Ziang, his head feeling like it was exploding, was momentarily stunned upon hearing Zhao Heng's words.
"Yes, leave it to me."
Zhao Heng nodded.
For someone else, they might not necessarily believe that Zhao Heng, as an anesthesiologist, can perform such a high-difficulty neurosurgical procedure as brain vascular repair.
But Liu Ziang knew that a genius like Zhao Heng couldn't be judged by common standards because he himself was like that.
Although he specialized in neurosurgery, he was also proficient in several disciplines, unbeknownst to others.
"Alright."
With this in mind, Liu Ziang looked at Zhao Heng and nodded.
Compared to brain vascular repair, handling cerebral aneurysms is actually more troublesome. Even at Eastern Hospital's neurosurgery, only the chief and associate chief physicians have the ability to handle cerebral aneurysms.
Emergency surgery is like fighting a fire—taking advantage of the patient's relatively stable blood pressure, Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang must quickly complete the surgery and close the skull.
Quickly, Zhao Heng changed into surgical attire and stood opposite Liu Ziang.
"Let's start."
Liu Ziang and Zhao Heng exchanged glances and spoke simultaneously.
Tian Zhen, with keen awareness, stood beside Zhao Heng, assisting with his surgery.
Naturally, Liu Ziang had his usual cooperating resident doctors to assist, whereas Zhao Heng had only the surgical nurse Tian Zhen to assist.
However, Zhao Heng and Tian Zhen had previously performed surgeries together, and their cooperation was fairly seamless.
Zhao Heng composed himself, fully mobilizing the experience that merged and fell from Liu Ziang in his mind.
There's no denying that this perfect-level skill is indeed extraordinary.
Generally, performing surgery on the brain requires extreme caution. One must have a profound understanding of the brain's anatomical structure, with each step being as cautious as walking on thin ice.
But after integrating Liu Ziang's experiences, Zhao Heng felt what it was like for a genuine surgical genius to operate.
It was a feeling of commanding the entire situation with unparalleled fluency and confidence!
Performing acute traumatic brain injury vascular repair surgery has a vivid analogy; it's like defusing mines in a foggy minefield, where a single misstep can lead to severe consequences.
Boldness and meticulousness are merely the basic requirements for such surgeries.
Performing such a surgery demands extraordinary psychological quality, hand coordination, and stability—truly beyond human norms.
Both Tian Zhen, who was assisting Zhao Heng, and the two neurosurgery resident doctors were astounded by Zhao Heng's performance.
Are anesthesiologists so competitive now?
They can perform neurosurgery, too?
The two resident doctors, upon seeing Zhao Heng's operation, couldn't help but question their own lives.
But it must be said that in the eyes of the two resident doctors, Zhao Heng's performance was almost as good as Liu Ziang, who was performing the surgery, and even vaguely had the same grasp of the overall situation and aura as Liu Ziang.
This is truly outrageous!
Time ticked by second by second, forty minutes later.
Having completed the aneurysm repair at the last possible moment, Liu Ziang finally had time to carefully watch Zhao Heng's operation.
The more he watched, the more amazed he was.
Because he found that many of Zhao Heng's operational habits and sequences were remarkably similar to his own.
One must know that this was the result of him performing numerous surgeries, summarizing and deducing the most suitable operational habits and sequences.
In neurosurgery, these practices are invaluable treasures.
Even if he were to teach it hand by hand, talented neurosurgery residents would need to study for over five years before they could initially grasp them.
But seeing Zhao Heng, he seems to have mastered it incredibly proficiently.
Although he had considerable confidence in Zhao Heng taking over the brain vascular repair, Zhao Heng's performance exceeded Liu Ziang's expectations.
"Junior, your level is already at nine-tenths of my power."
Liu Ziang glanced at Zhao Heng and said.
This nine-tenths was one more than the eight he previously awarded Zhao Heng's paper.
"Uh..."
Just having completed a small blood vessel repair, Zhao Heng looked up at Liu Ziang when he heard this.
However, this skill was indeed derived from Liu Ziang. Just starting with it and having nine-tenths is apt.
How did Liu Ziang even notice this so clearly?
Could it be that Liu Ziang is the real protagonist?
"Senior, since the aneurysm is done, you can take over here."
Zhao Heng set down the vascular clamp and said to Liu Ziang.
Repairing brain vessels inherently requires high attention and concentration, and Zhao Heng also has to manage the patient's anesthesia and blood pressure. So, despite Zhao Heng's astonishing endurance and physical strength, he was beginning to feel somewhat mentally fatigued.
"Mm, alright, you continue to monitor the patient's blood pressure, leave this to me."
Liu Ziang nodded.
It seems that recruiting Zhao Heng was indeed the correct decision; Zhao Heng indeed provided substantial help in this surgery.
Besides Zhao Heng's textbook-standard operations in anesthesia, providing the most solid assurance for the surgery.
Moreover, when Liu Ziang felt overwhelmed, Zhao Heng could step in to handle the neurosurgery; such a perfect anesthesiologist is likely what every surgical doctor yearns for!
Zhao Heng exhaled a sigh of relief, sitting down for a short break.
As soon as Zhao Heng sat down, the circulating nurse, Sun Meng, said to him, "Dr. Zhao, you're absolutely amazing!"
This wasn't an exaggeration from Sun Meng. Being a circulating nurse, she has participated in an incredible number of surgeries.
Hence, she's seen numerous doctors.
But having an anesthesiologist take over neurosurgery from a deputy chief neurosurgeon during an operation was indeed a first for her!
Sun Meng was keen to ask Zhao Heng how he learned and mastered so many skills.
"It's alright,"
Zhao Heng replied lightly.
During the surgery just now, he hadn't yet fully maximized the merged skill and experience derived from Liu Ziang.
As Liu Ziang pointed out, it was at most nine-tenths of the original.
Maybe that's the limitation of Zhao Heng's golden finger?
Experience and skills gained from others, to reach a hundred percent, ultimately requires one's own effort?
