021 ups and downs

"You can see a lot of things, and if you look closely, I'm sure you'll find something soon." The cousin said in a very seductive tone.

I knew that my cousin didn't tell me directly about his intentions, he was just trying to distract me in this way, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving the tension in my heart to a certain extent. I knew that my cousin had all the best intentions, so when there was really nothing to do, I raised my eyes as he wished, and carefully observed the LCD screen above.

The display clearly shows the status of different patients in different operating rooms. Specifically, the number of operating rooms, departments, the name of the patient, and the status of the patient. For example, the first operating room, general surgery, Zhang San, and surgical preparation. However, it is not immediately apparent what a specific state means. There are four main types of states: preparing for surgery, starting anesthesia, anesthesia, and during surgery.

It didn't take long for me to find that "in preparation for surgery" and "under anesthesia" had the most words and took the longest. However, the words "during surgery", which are of most concern to the patient's family, appear for a relatively short period of time, and are generally sandwiched between anesthesia. To put it simply, the sequence is "Preparing for Surgery", followed by a short "start of anesthesia", followed by "Under anesthesia", with a short period of "during surgery" and finally "under anesthesia". At first, we were a little puzzled by this change. However, through continuous observation of the relatively short surgical process of general surgery, the clues were soon discovered.

As soon as the patient is wheeled into the operating room, the LCD screen shows that he or she is "ready for surgery". Of course, what exactly is prepared is not something that laymen like us can speculate. The length of preparation time varies from person to person. When ready, anesthesia is next. It is estimated that it is necessary to wait for the appearance of anesthesia effect, so whether it is local or general anesthesia, it is generally necessary to wait for a period of time. The surgery will not begin until the anesthetic has actually taken effect. At this point, "Surgery in progress" will be displayed on the screen. I don't know if it was due to the psychological ability of the patient's family or some other reason, but anyway, the words "in progress of surgery" only appeared for a very short time, and then changed to "under anesthesia" again. Ordinary people will definitely wait for the words "in progress of surgery" to appear again, but until the patient leaves the operating room, such words will not appear. In other words, the words "under anesthesia" will persist until the end. It is easy for the family members of patients who do not know why to wait until they are pushed out of the operating room while they are relaxed and relaxed by the word "under anesthesia".

After figuring out the mystery of the LCD screen, I was immediately concerned about my father's situation. My father was a cardiothoracic surgeon, and as I had estimated, surgery for esophageal cancer was not a minor surgery as my parents thought. The ones in general surgery are really minor surgeries. It's just over an hour, and although there is no pinching statistics, I'm sure there is absolutely no more than two hours. As a result, several patients came in and out, and the father was still in the process of preparing for surgery.

If the surgery doesn't really start, it means that the risk doesn't really start. Therefore, I naturally relaxed a little bit of my mental strings.

After my cousin's reminder, I wanted to simply look at the LCD screen with a little cooperation, but now, almost all my attention is put into the information on the LCD screen about my father's surgical status.

Seeing that my spirit began to focus on the LCD screen, my cousin knew that his goal had been achieved. So he didn't bother me anymore, just sat quietly on the sidelines.

Finally, anesthesia began. My heart started to strain again. Because I know that anesthesia is also risky. The words "anesthesia begins" almost flashes in a flash, and then there is a long period of "under anesthesia". If there is danger, even life-threatening, then the doctor will definitely come out and inform the patient's family. A long time has passed, and nothing is out of the ordinary. I know that the dangers of anesthesia are behind me. The heart that had been hanging was put down again.

Unlike minor general surgery, my father was under general anesthesia, so the waiting time was much longer. Finally, the words "surgery begins" begins. My heart shook violently, and then there was a thump. With a bit of common sense, I know very well that the most critical and most dangerous moment has finally arrived. Success or failure depends on the development of the surgery. successfully, he was able to successfully remove the malignant tumor that had plagued his father for many days; If you lose, your father will probably not survive today. Success or failure? Although I prayed for success, if I could succeed by praying alone, then I would not have brought my father to heal. It was precisely because there was a difference between success and failure, and the odds of failure seemed to be greater, that my nervousness was almost at its peak. It's no exaggeration to say that my heart is really on the verge of reaching my throat.

The words "surgery begins" are only fleeting, and then they are always "under anesthesia". But having already seen the truth, I knew that my father's attending physician was in the midst of an extremely intense operation at this time.

My cousin, who was sitting next to me, saw my face turn from iron blue to pale again, then his body shook slightly, and then his phone began to tremble......

Hey, it's time for me to do it again. After the cousin sighed secretly, he immediately took action. "Cousin, has my uncle's surgery started?"

"It should have started, because just now I saw the words 'surgery begin' flash on the screen." I replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

"Then why do you still say that your uncle is under anesthesia?" The cousin asked, pretending to be puzzled.

"I don't know, but maybe I'm afraid that the families of the patients waiting here are worried. I paid attention to it, and the few patients who had already come out just now were all like this. After the words 'Operation Started' flashed, until the operation was over, the screen kept saying 'Under Anesthesia'. "Although my heart is still pounding, when I answer my cousin's question, I am not as nervous as I was just now, because I was unconsciously distracted.

"Oh, then it seems that my uncle should be in surgery now." When my cousin saw that my nervous expression had eased considerably, he knew that his efforts had made a difference, so he continued to mumble to me. "What do you think of your uncle's surgery?"

"Well, the situation is not optimistic." I replied in a dull tone.

"Why?"
