Hearing Professor Qiu’s words, the interns finally realized just how difficult this plan was!
If the needle was stuck somewhere else, like in the hand, leg, stomach, or even the brain, using forceps to remove it would indeed be the simplest plan.
Because those parts barely move, and even if they do, the movement is minimal.
But this needle was currently stuck in the heart!
Even when a person is anesthetized, the heart continues to beat!
At this moment, if you want to pull the needle out of the heart with forceps, the wrong angle could cause new damage to the heart.
If you don’t synchronize with the heartbeat, if the forceps linger for even a moment too long, the needle they’re holding could be slammed into the expanding heart as it beats, potentially puncturing it!
What seems like a simple surgery becomes one of the most difficult surgeries precisely because the heart is beating!
“But, apart from this surgical plan, how else can the needle be removed?”
An intern’s question instantly silenced Dean Hao and Professor Qiu.
If this surgery were given to them to perform, they would also have to adopt this method.
But they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t cause secondary harm to the patient.
As the two fell silent, Qin Jiang had already begun the surgery.
With the assistance of a robotic arm, Qin Jiang first anesthetized Tang Guo, then proceeded with the open-heart surgery.
When the bright red heart appeared on the live stream, everyone gasped!
Through the membrane on the heart’s surface, they could faintly see an embroidery needle slanted into the heart!
Right in the middle of a bundle of blood vessels!
With each heartbeat, the needle would rise and fall!
Netizens in the live stream couldn’t help but clutch their own chests.
“Holy crap, that’s so intense. So this is what it feels like to see a needle stuck in a heart with your own eyes!”
“I feel like my own heart hurts too. This kid not crying is truly brave. His pain tolerance is insane!”
“This is terrifying. Every time the heart expands, the needle becomes clearer, like it’s about to pop out of that flesh any second. It’s horrifying!”
“Yesterday my son was still putting building blocks in his mouth. Thinking about it now, it’s scary. I need to put a mask on him from now on.”
Watching the continuously beating heart, the hand holding Qin Jiang’s scalpel also trembled slightly.
Damn, this is too hard!
Although the heartbeat follows a certain rhythm, trying to operate directly on the heart in sync with that beating rhythm… that’s practically inhuman!
Qin Jiang just stared quietly. He hadn’t done anything yet, but he was already drenched in sweat.
Even the netizens in the live stream held their breath along with him, feeling utterly suffocated.
Qin Jiang took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then fixed his eyes tightly on the beating heart.
He cast aside distracting thoughts, thinking of nothing.
[Divine-Level Micro-Operation Technique Activated]
With the system’s prompt, Qin Jiang felt his mind clear considerably.
It was as if everything had been shrouded in fog before, but now it was suddenly bright and clear.
He felt the surroundings become brighter, his vision seemed enhanced, allowing him to clearly see every blood vessel on the heart!
He even felt the heartbeat slow down significantly, as if he could now grasp the rhythm of the heartbeat!
Seeing Qin Jiang hesitate to make a move, Dean Hao sighed.
“In the end, he’s still young, too confident.”
“Making an incision while the heart is still beating carries too high a risk.”
“He should have first used an artificial heart to take over the child’s heartbeat, then lowered the blood temperature to reduce the patient’s metabolism and protect the heart muscle from injury.”
“The protection of the heart muscle is absolutely critical. In heart surgery, everything should prioritize protecting the heart muscle.”
“If his incision is even slightly off, it could turn into a medical accident.”
Dean Hao’s explanation opened the interns’ eyes.
So you could use an artificial heart to replace the heart’s original function!
“Dean, then why isn’t he doing that?”
Dean Hao said gravely, “Because he’s too confident.”
“He thinks it’s just about removing a needle from the heart. If the incision is small, there’s no need for an artificial heart.”
“But he hasn’t considered how risky this is. Once a mistake is made, the consequences are unthinkable.”
Just as Dean Hao finished speaking, Qin Jiang made his move!
They saw his right hand, holding the scalpel, gently poke downwards.
As the heart recoiled and expanded, Qin Jiang’s hand also retracted in sync.
With just that light, dragonfly-touch-like motion, a small incision appeared on the heart!
Both Dean Hao and Professor Qiu’s eyes widened.
Holy crap, how did he do that!
Is this level of micro-operation even humanly possible?
Before they could react, Qin Jiang had already switched to forceps.
He performed the same operation, following the same method.
The moment the heart contracted, Qin Jiang’s forceps clamped onto the embroidery needle.
Then, the instant the heart expanded, Qin Jiang smoothly pulled the embroidery needle out.
Smooth, fluid, elegant!
What seemed like a difficult operation was, in fact, anything but simple!
If the forceps hadn’t held steady, if his hand speed had been too slow, if he hadn’t matched the heart’s contraction rhythm perfectly… any of these would have caused the entire series of actions to fail!
One could imagine the immense psychological pressure Qin Jiang was under while performing these maneuvers!
But Qin Jiang had done it!
Precise and elegant!
This way, Qin Jiang didn’t need to put Tang Guo on a heart-lung bypass.
Not only did this reduce physical damage to Tang Guo, but it also saved his family a huge amount of medical expenses.
Tossing the embroidery needle into the tray, everyone in the live stream breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is probably the most expensive embroidery needle ever, right? Straight into the heart, its value skyrocketed!”
“Watching Dr. Qin’s maneuver just now had me sweating bullets. He really dared to make that move!”
“All I can say is, Dr. Qin is amazing!”
After suturing Tang Guo’s chest, Qin Jiang walked out of the pharmacy and stretched his limbs.
The micro-operation technique the system provided was indeed amazing, but it consumed a huge amount of energy.
He had only been in that state for a few minutes, yet he felt more exhausted than after an all-night gaming session in the past.
But fortunately, with the help of the micro-operation technique, the surgery was very successful.
Once Tang Guo woke up, his heart definitely wouldn’t hurt anymore.
“Dr. Qin, thank you. You are truly our family’s great benefactor!”
After Qin Jiang came out, Tang Guo’s parents insisted on kowtowing to him.
Qin Jiang quickly helped the two up from the floor.
“Healing and saving people is what I should do. Please don’t kowtow. First, let’s settle the payment. The total is seventy-five thousand yuan. Since you also need some medication, I’ll prepare it all for you at once.”
Tang Ping nodded repeatedly, hurriedly taking out his phone to scan and pay.
A heart surgery for only seventy-five thousand yuan? That’s incredibly reasonable!
