21st Century Necromancer

Because Chen Yu was now an associate professor, his surgeries were naturally scheduled quickly. After all, wherever you are, if your status is higher than others, the preferential treatment you enjoy is naturally more. Associate professors would, of course, receive priority in the arrangement of the operating room.

It was still the scrub sink outside the operating room, and Chen Yu was intently cleaning his hands, while Jounouchi Hiromi was also washing her hands beside him.

"Speaking of which, this is your second time performing surgery with me, isn't it, Hiromi? The last time in Kanazawa was completely impromptu, but this is the first time we are really operating together!" As he washed his hands, Chen Yu chatted with his girlfriend, relaxing his mood.

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but laugh, responding, "Didn't you say you wanted me to be your exclusive anesthesiologist? How come I am still acting as your assistant this time? Could it be that Mr. Chen Yu, you couldn't find anyone else to be your assistant?"

"Haha, in the vast Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, there are countless people who want to assist me in surgery.

How could it be possible that I couldn't find someone to be my assistant?" Chen Yu laughed as well, explaining to his girlfriend with a smile, "This level of surgery doesn't require the presence of an anesthesiologist as talented as you, Hiromi, so having you as my assistant to help me perform the surgery will do."

"But why do I feel that assisting you in surgery is more tiring than performing an entire surgery as an anesthesiologist?" Jounouchi Hiromi said, her smile teasingly teasing Chen Yu.

Because he was washing his hands, Chen Yu couldn't make any moves towards Jounouchi Hiromi, so instead of pinching his girlfriend's nose as he intended, he could only look at her affectionately and say, "Isn't it because you mentioned last time that, as an anesthesiologist, you also have to manage the patient's postoperative care?

As an assistant, you only need to help complete the surgery, and someone else will be responsible for the postoperative management. You can relax a lot and won't have to bear responsibility."

Hearing her boyfriend say this, Jounouchi Hiromi pouted with a huff and turned her head away, but there was a hint of happiness in her voice, "You make a good point, let's hurry up and get ready for the surgery!"

After saying this, Jounouchi Hiromi washed her hands thoroughly and walked towards the operating room.

Watching his girlfriend get dressed for surgery with the help of a nurse, Chen Yu smiled, continued to wash his hands calmly, and after he was done, he headed towards the operating room.

Having donned the surgical gown and gloves, Chen Yu flexed his fingers before stepping up to the operating table.

"Spleenectomy, now starting." Chen Yu glanced at Jounouchi Hiromi standing opposite him, nodded at her to start the procedure, and stretched out his right hand to the nurse beside him, "Scalpel."

A scalpel was handed to Chen Yu.

————————————————————————

Spleenectomy is not a complicated or particularly difficult surgery, and with Jounouchi Hiromi's assistance Chen Yu had smoothly cut through Qinzi's abdomen, opening her abdominal cavity.

"It doesn't seem like there is any problem, do we really need to remove her spleen?" Inside Qinzi's abdominal cavity, the spleen appeared to be normal, and Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but inquire of Chen Yu.

Although the spleen is not a vital organ, its removal would still have an impact on Qinzi's future life. If it wasn't necessary, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't want this girl she knew to go through all of this, especially since she was young and had a long life ahead of her.

However, faced with Jounouchi Hiromi's words, Chen Yu simply told her, "Feel it for yourself."

Jounouchi Hiromi knew that Qinzi's spleen calcification was severe, so she reached out to feel it, only to sense it was as hard as a stone, "So hard! How can this be?"

"It's not strange. According to the previous CT scan, the inside of her spleen was already filled with calcification, essentially no different from stone," Chen Yu didn't stop his movement while Jounouchi Hiromi was confirming the condition of Qinzi's spleen.

He was already prepared for the removal, but he continued to explain, "Now her spleen is just a bag filled with fine sand, serving no purpose, so it must be removed."

"I understand," Jounouchi Hiromi said, reluctant but firm in her decision now that the necessity of surgery was confirmed. She turned to a nurse beside her and said, "Right-angle forceps."

...

Having removed Qinzi's spleen, it was placed on a tray to the side. Chen Yu cut open the surface of the spleen with a scalpel, revealing its contents to the astonished eyes of Jounouchi Hiromi.

However, what was inside caused everyone in the operating room who saw it to feel a tingling on their scalp, and even a chill down their back.

As operating surgeons and nurses at the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, these people were quite experienced and broad-minded, but they had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help getting goosebumps all over.

It was a dense cluster of small granules, each granule already calcified with a rich blood supply around them, looking like opening a steamed bun, but inside it was all red bean paste.

"Send this for a pathology examination, it's probably parasitic eggs," Chen Yu was still able to respond calmly, but he also felt that the scene before him was overly stimulating, so he quickly told a junior nurse beside him, indicating her to take it away promptly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Though the junior nurse also felt a shiver looking at the split spleen on the tray, it was her job, and she could only brace herself. She covered it with a piece of gauze before carrying the tray out of the operating room.

Chen Yu didn't scold the nurse for her behavior, but rather let out a sigh of relief because of her action and composed himself before saying to Jounouchi Hiromi, "Alright, close her up."

"Ah? Oh!" Jounouchi Hiromi was clearly still shaken and paused for a moment before responding with a sound and started the suturing as instructed by Chen Yu.

...

After the suturing was finished, Chen Yu dropped the suturing instrument and walked towards the exit of the operating room. Perhaps it was because today's surgery was so shocking, he felt somewhat mentally impacted, not even responding to the other people in the operating room who were saying "Good work."

Jounouchi Hiromi also quickly finished her own work and then followed him out.

At the door of the operating room, while taking off her surgical gown, Jounouchi Hiromi asked, "Mr. Chen Yu, what exactly was that? How could a human spleen turn into that?"

"Those were calcified parasitic eggs. This child really has a stroke of luck. Thankfully it was the spleen — if it had been another organ, she might not have made it through today," Chen Yu explained to Jounouchi Hiromi while also feeling a cold sweat, those countless parasite eggs were horrifying to even hear about.

Thankfully they were already calcified, otherwise, if they hatched, they might have hollowed out her completely.
