383 A Sham of A Surgery

After the phone call ended, Cheng Lixue lit a cigarette.

He took a deep drag to clear his head.

Cheng Lixue was not from the cardiothoracic department. but as a doctor, one had to be familiar with the basics of emergency rescue.

Any experienced doctor would know the criticality of a cardiac tamponade. There had been cases where the patient was successfully rescued, but ended up in a vegetative state.

Was Old Qian trying to prank him?

He sat in the chair in the changing room and took a drag of the cigarette. The smoke lingered in the room.

Cheng Lixue could not wrap his mind around the whole thing.

He glanced at the clock and found that it was close to 9:00 a.m. He had been away for almost 20 minutes. The surgery would have started already. Regardless, he should be present when Director Ren shows up.

As he stepped out of the changing room, Cheng Lixue saw a nurse calling for the next patient.
