At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Both of them donned sterile surgical gowns and prepared all the tools at the side of the operating table.

Then they looked at each other, nodded their heads to indicate the surgery was beginning.

Gu Yu took three deep breaths and silently observed the patient who had already passed out.

[Do you confirm the exchange for the Anesthesiologist Skill (Attending)? Required Check-in Points: 100,000]

Hearing the number of Check-in Points required, Gu Yu admitted to himself that he hesitated.

That was a hundred thousand! One hundred thousand points!

Once exchanged, he would be left without his life-saving card.

But at the moment lives were at stake, and it was impossible to operate on the patient without an anesthesiologist.

Just as he was gritting his teeth and preparing to exchange,

an old doctor wearing a full sterile suit and carrying an anesthesia box pushed the door open and walked in.

"What a joke, you dare to operate on the patient without anesthesia?"

The anesthesiologist who came in saw Gu Yu and Qin Wanwan standing by the operating table without moving and let out a deep breath.

He had just finished administering anesthesia to a patient in another operating room and rushed over when he heard from the nurses that another operating table had been set up here.

Fortunately, he arrived just in time.

Otherwise, these two were about to perform surgery without anesthesia on the patient!

Gu Yu didn't speak.

Seeing the anesthesiologist arriving, with a Deputy Director Doctor badge hanging on his chest, he also felt relieved.

He saved one hundred thousand Check-in Points, which were his lifeline.

"Third-degree burns covering about seven percent of the body surface, high-temperature smoke inhalation causing airway obstruction," Gu Yu said without waiting for the anesthesiologist to speak, actively introducing the situation to him.

The anesthesiologist, with his cloudy eyes, showed a hint of surprise but didn't ask further questions, only silently preparing the necessary anesthetic.

Gu Yu quickly started to debride the patient's burn wounds.

"Saline," he said to the nurse at his side, who hadn't entered the operating room before but recognized the medication, hastily grabbed it from the shelf and handed it to him.

Taking a bottle of saline, Gu Yu began to irrigate the patient's wounds.

Perhaps because the saline was relatively cool, the patient's eyebrows relaxed a bit.

But Gu Yu knew that after the comfort ended, there would be intense burning pain.

Fortunately, by this time the anesthesiologist was also ready.

He picked up a small bottle of colorless clear liquid, then used tweezers to pick out a large cotton ball and soaked it inside.

When the cotton ball was completely moistened, he gently placed it on the patient's burnt area.

"0.2% diluted concentration of lidocaine solution. Without this anesthetic on the wounds, he would be in severe pain," the anesthesiologist said, unable to resist commenting after anesthetizing the nearly cleaned wounds.

He thought about how this young man in front of him had dared to start the surgery directly, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Surgery without anesthesia could cause severe psychological problems for the patient!

Gu Yu remained silent, letting him speak.

After all, he couldn't very well say, "I was about to exchange for the Anesthesiologist Skill when you, the anesthesiologist, walked in," could he?

After injecting the patient with an unknown anesthetic, the elderly anesthesiologist quietly stood aside.

His comment just now was a caution.

This operating room was still the domain of Gu Yu and Qin Wanwan, and as an anesthesiologist, it was enough to be prepared for emergencies.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized he didn't recognize Gu Yu!

He had never seen such a young chief surgeon in the operating room before.

But he recognized Qin Wanwan on the side, who was a student mentored by Director Dai.

So although he was puzzled, he still temporarily held back his questions.

It was a good opportunity to see just how skilled the student trained by Director Dai was.

It had to be said, the composure to take charge in an emergency and to step into the operating room showed admirable fortitude.

He had seen too many new graduates enter the hospital but not dare to step into the operating room.

Qin Wanwan was brave.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But the next second, Gu Yu interrupted his internal praise.

"Have you found the laryngeal membrane?"

After completing the debridement surgery and plasma replenishment for the patient, Gu Yu turned his head and asked Qin Wanwan.

Qin Wanwan nodded, her right index finger gently touching a depression just below the patient's Adam's apple. Explore more at empire

In school, it had been taught that by gently feeling down from the most prominent part of the Adam's apple, a small depression the size of a soybean could be found around 2 to 3 centimeters downward—that was the position of the laryngeal membrane.

"The position is correct, insert the needle."

As Gu Yu cleaned the wound on the patient's foot, he kept his eyes on Qin Wanwan's movements.

"Ah?" Qin Wanwan hesitated, holding the no. 18 puncture needle in her hand without daring to proceed.

The old anesthesiologist standing by shook his head.

Sure enough, she was still a student, finding it very difficult to overcome the psychological fear of operating on a real patient.

However, Gu Yu had caught his attention a few more times.

He had thought that Gu Yu was also one of Dai Zhengguo's students, considering how young he looked.

Compared with Qin Wanwan, it was evident that Gu Yu had learned a bit better.

"Don't be afraid, insert the needle perpendicularly into the laryngeal membrane, go slowly, and stop once you feel a sudden give."

Gu Yu continued to instruct verbally.

Seeing him unfazed while cutting and cleaning the fierce wound on the patient's leg, Qin Wanwan suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

Even if she was not as capable as Gu Yu, she wanted to set him as her target and strive to match his skill!

She gritted her teeth and plunged the syringe into the skin.

And just like Gu Yu had said, after the needle went down two or three centimeters, she suddenly felt the resistance give way.

Seeing her movements speed up, Gu Yu hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

"If you go any further, be careful of puncturing the patient's esophagus!"

Qin Wanwan immediately stopped her hand.

"Try aspirating with the syringe; if you can draw air, it means you've succeeded."

Gu Yu finished up his own work, walked over, picked up a large syringe lying by, connected it to the needle, and gently pulled the plunger. Indeed, air could be aspirated.

It meant Qin Wanwan's laryngeal puncture was successful.

What followed was the routine process of securing the needle and connecting the breathing tube; they quickly completed the entire procedure.

"Simple, right? Sometimes, once you overcome your fear, you're already halfway to success."

As the patient's chest movements gradually returned to normal and the sound of air flowing through the breathing tube could be heard, he said with a smile.

At that moment, he and Qin Wanwan were standing very close to each other.

Qin Wanwan could even smell the faint antiseptic scent on him through the mask and, looking at his encouraging eyes, her cheeks involuntarily warmed up.

Thankfully, the mask hid her blushing face.

"Yes, yes! Idol!"

With a shy look in her eyes, Qin Wanwan quickly nodded.

"Idol...?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking at her incredulously.

Was it just for teaching a simple emergency technique?

She called him an idol just for that?

Indeed, sometimes the reason women chase after stars is simply inexplicable...

"It's all thanks to my irresistible charm~" Gu Yu bragged inwardly.

"I am your teaching assistant, almost equal to your teacher. It's right for me to teach you. Don't call me an idol anymore..."

But outwardly, he maintained a serious demeanor as he spoke.

"Teaching assistant? Aren't you one of Old Dai's students?" The old anesthesiologist who had witnessed the whole process couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? She is, I'm not, Old Dai and I are good buddies!"

Gu Yu turned his head, pointed at Qin Wanwan, then gestured towards himself with one hand and waved the other.

"!???"

The anesthesiologist's eyeballs almost popped out.

"Good buddies?"

As for the laryngeal puncture, indeed, it can be useful to remember as an emergency method—not too many to learn!

Just like that~ Love you all~
