Outside the operating room, Daimon Michiko was carefully scrubbing her fingers; behind her, Jounouchi Hiromi was doing the same.

"Hey, you, the anesthesiologist, why aren't you doing anesthesia today, but instead assisting me?" Daimon Michiko raised her head and asked Jounouchi Hiromi, who stood behind her. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

Today was the day of the embryo extraction and tumor removal surgery for Egawa Sae, and Jounouchi Hiromi had specifically asked Daimon Michiko to perform the operation. She herself, breaking precedent, did not serve as the anesthesiologist for the surgery but chose to be Daimon Michiko's surgical assistant.

"Today's patient is mine, and as the primary doctor, I couldn't possibly be absent from the surgery, could I?" Jounouchi Hiromi replied while scrubbing her hands, answering Daimon Michiko's question and also taking the opportunity to remind her, "This is a VIP patient, Daimon-san, you cannot fail in today's operation!"

"Rest assured, I won't fail!" Daimon Michiko said, using her usual catchphrase, exuding complete confidence.

But what Daimon Michiko didn't see was that, behind her, Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes had turned blue.

Inside the operating room, Egawa Sae, already anesthetized, lay on the operating table, covered with blue non-woven surgical drapes, only her swollen abdomen was exposed.

Daimon Michiko and Jounouchi Hiromi were already positioned at the operating table. The difficulty of today's operation was high, causing the nurses within to be somewhat tense.

This was a world-first operation. No doctor had thought to extract an embryo intact from a pregnant woman's womb before.

If it was just for inducing labor, it wouldn't need to be so complicated; in China, a single dose of abortion drug could settle it. Therefore, no one had studied how to perform this kind of surgery, and cesarean sections were not prepared for this.

For that reason, aside from Daimon Michiko, the Doctor X who dared to operate without a surgical technique and would not fail, other doctors in the hospital wouldn't dare perform this surgery. After all, if a problem arose, it could be a matter of two lives lost.@@novelbin@@

Laypeople might struggle to understand why doctors hesitate to operate without a surgical technique. Aren't surgical techniques developed from scratch by other doctors over time? Why can't you doctors operate without a technique?

It really isn't fair to blame these hesitant doctors. Ask any doctor if they don't want to cure their patients and save more lives?

But without a surgical technique, it means that the entire operation process must rely solely on the experience of the doctor. Having never been done before, if you're not skilled enough, you might not even know where to make the next cut or what problems you might encounter.

Only truly skilled and daring doctors dare to perform a surgery they've never done before without an established technique.

A surgical technique is like a formula for solving problems in mathematics, the formula enables you to solve the problem; without it, solving becomes much harder, even the results can easily be mistaken.

Getting a math problem wrong is no big deal, you can just start over; but doctors don't dare and cannot do this because a patient's life cannot be restarted.

Thus, the creation of each new surgical technique is a summary of a doctor's experience and hard work, and also signifies that a new disease can be treated or an existing treatment method improved.

As such, the operation on Egawa Sae also attracted attention within the hospital. In the observation room above the operating theater, aside from Chen Yu and Egawa Sae's husband, Shimura Maru, Professor Kube, and Yamamoto Hisae were all observing the surgery.

"Extracting the embryo at this stage and using an Artificial Womb for gestation, unexpected that Doctor Jounouchi could come up with such a method and also succeed in the experiments," Yamamoto Hisae exclaimed as she looked down on the operating room where the final preparations for the surgery were underway.

As the hospital's Chief of Internal Medicine, Yamamoto Hisae naturally understood what the success of Artificial Womb technology meant; for the hospital, it was a research breakthrough as significant as the Broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug developed by Chen Yu, and for the entire medical field, it held tremendous significance.

"It's only because these young people dare to be bold and not bound by the divisions between surgery and internal medicine that they dare to research and try such treatment plans. If it were me, I probably would have just advised the patient to terminate the pregnancy and receive surgical treatment," lamented Professor Kube. As doctors age, they tend to become more cautious—a common sentiment among doctors who, after seeing so much life and death, hesitate to try riskier treatment plans and prefer safer options. Even he was no exception.

This was also the reason why Professor Kube, despite having the technical skills to perform the operation, chose not to attempt such a treatment approach.

Advising Egawa Sae to terminate the pregnancy and then proceed with surgical treatment would only result in one unborn child lost, and he was confident enough to cure Egawa Sae.

However, if Jounouchi Hiromi's treatment plan was employed, and any issue arose during the surgery, the consequence could extend beyond just the child.

Hearing Yamamoto Hisae and Professor Kube's discussion, Shimura Maru couldn't help but chime in, "That's also one of the flaws of our hospital, where the professors are more focused on their positions and self-interest, gradually losing the drive for medical research and innovation. Meanwhile, the younger doctors below lack the experience and skills, even with good ideas, they lack the capacity to realize them, not to mention the constraints of the administrative system. They're all thinking about how to climb the ladder, so how can they achieve results in treating and saving patients?"

"Ahem, Chancellor, your words are a bit harsh. The hospital's professors are indeed dedicated to academics," coughed Professor Kube, speaking up for the other doctors in the hospital. Although the research achievements of other doctors couldn't compare to those of Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi and indeed they devoted more energy to politics, Professor Kube clearly couldn't let Shimura Maru, the Chancellor, have such a negative impression.

Compared to the discussions of Shimura Maru, Professor Kube, and Yamamoto Hisae, Egawa Sae's husband was more concerned about his wife's surgery and asked Chen Yu, who was standing with folded arms, "Doctor, why isn't Doctor Jounouchi taking the lead in the operation, but instead this doctor?"

"This doctor is the finest surgeon in our hospital, and she operates very quickly, which is why she is leading the surgery," Chen Yu smiled at Egawa Sae's husband, "Don't worry, she will not fail."
