21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 173 A Short Break (1st Update)

After retrieving Doctor Higashiyama's sister's medical records from Michiko Daimon's hands, Yu Chen returned to his own office without paying attention to her eager desire to perform the surgery.

"Rena, if someone looks for me, say I'm not in unless it's an emergency surgery," Yu Chen instructed his assistant before he walked into his office, having her block anyone who might come looking for him.

He placed Doctor Higashiyama's sister's medical records on the desk, then collapsed onto the sofa, letting out a comfortable groan. The two surgeries from yesterday truly drained a great deal of his energy, leaving him extremely exhausted.

If it had only been Ichinose Miyako's surgery, it would have been within the scope Yu Chen could handle. Nerve reconnection surgery, though requiring intense concentration under the microscope and exceedingly energy-consuming, was somewhat mitigated by Michiko Daimon's assistance, thereby sharing some of his workload.

What really exhausted Yu Chen was the emergency surgery he performed last night on an empty stomach.

Rib fractures had punctured the lung alveoli and damaged the heart, causing severe hemorrhage. By the time the patient arrived, they were almost drowned by the blood flowing into their lungs.

It took Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi a full five hours to pull him back from the brink of death, and even Yu Chen had to resort to some of the Necromancer's tricks to keep the patient, who was at death's door several times, alive.

Even though Hiromi Jounouchi served as the first assistant in the surgery, Yu Chen clearly tried to avoid overfatiguing his girlfriend. He handled problems on his own whenever possible, without involving Hiromi Jounouchi, which undeniably also increased his own burden.

Such life-and-death surgeries are incredibly taxing for a doctor, especially since both Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were hungry at the time. The intense physical exertion combined with hunger would have most likely floored an ordinary doctor.

Some might think that surgeons merely stand there and operate with their hands, so how could it be as exhausting as heavy physical labor?

Thanks to his little secretary's interception, Yu Chen was able to rest well in his office, waking up just around lunchtime.

Thanks to his transcendent nature, even such a brief rest was enough for Yu Chen to recuperate and refresh his state of mind.

Holding Doctor Higashiyama's sister's medical record, Yu Chen left his office and headed toward the surgery department's main office. Since he had promised Doctor Higashiyama, Yu Chen naturally wouldn't go back on his word, and like Michiko Daimon had said, his sister's surgery could be cured.

"Professor Chen!" Seeing Yu Chen arrive at the surgical office, Doctor Higashiyama immediately stood up excitedly from his seat and approached Yu Chen, asking, "Professor Chen, have you looked at my sister's medical record? Is there hope?"

Seeing this scene, the Glasses Doctor who was aware of the situation also hurried over, joining in with concern, "Doctor Higashiyama, don't get too excited. With Professor Chen's medical skills, he can definitely cure your sister."

While saying this, the Glasses Doctor also looked at Yu Chen, asking, "Professor, is there anything we can do to help?"

"Not at the moment, you aren't able to assist with such a complex neurosurgery. However, there is one thing you can do." Yu Chen smiled faintly, teasing them.

"What is it? Just ask, and if it's within my capabilities, please order me to do it!" Doctor Higashiyama, hearing Yu Chen say this, became very excited and assured him seriously, while also looking at Yu Chen earnestly, hoping he really could cure his sister.

"Relax, it's nothing difficult, it's just treating me to lunch." Yu Chen made a joke, then handed the medical record back to Doctor Higashiyama, "I've looked over your sister's condition. She has a paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury from the third thoracic vertebrae down, primarily due to spinal fractures that have also damaged the spine and the cauda equina nerves.

Although she may have been injured for quite some time now, it's not beyond cure."
