Li Zehui was glared at by Robert and immediately stepped aside. Robert skillfully assisted Yang Ping in taking off his surgical gown.
Then, the sports medicine professor didn’t know where he learned massage. He followed Yang Ping and started massaging Yang Ping’s shoulders with both hands.
After Yang Ping sat down, he stood behind Yang Ping, squeezing his shoulders and beating his back, and even pulled Yang Ping's arm away and shook it in a decent manner.
Li Zehui, Marshall and the nurse were stunned. Is this Robert from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, USA? No matter how he looked, he looked like Yang Ping's follower doctor.
The anesthesiologists and perfusionists from the United States did not know Robert and were shocked by this scene.
"Okay, the technique is okay!"
Yang Ping moved his neck and shoulder joints, and the effect was indeed good.
"And some acupuncture points!"
Robert said the massage was not over yet.
Tap acupoints, tap acupoints, Robert kept mumbling, but he couldn't start, as if he had forgotten something.
"Is there a ruler?" he asked the circulating nurse.
In the operating room, it is often necessary to position the incision, and a ruler is a common tool. The circulating nurse was stunned and found him a steel ruler.
The anesthesiologist is resuscitating the baby, and the equipment nurse is starting to pack away the equipment.
The circulating nurse stopped what she was doing to see what Robert was going to do. Li Zehui and Marshall were also confused.
Yang Ping himself couldn’t figure out what Robert was up to.
Robert started to measure with a ruler behind Yang Ping's back, as if he was locating a point. After finding the point, he tapped it with his finger. After confirming the position, he poked hard with his finger.
Damn it! Yang Ping almost jumped in pain.
Is this acupuncture? It’s a powerful Vajra finger.
"Enough, enough!"
Yang Ping immediately waved his hand and then paused. Robert raised his finger: "You haven't finished clicking yet?"
But Yang Ping has already said to suspend it, and Robert does not dare to take action again.
The monitor shows that the baby's heart beat rhythm remains normal.
After Marshall watched Robert's acupuncture performance, he also raised his fingers and tapped his own back.
Li Zehui understood that this was acupuncture, and he told Marshall: "This is a very Chinese way of relaxing. I have seen it in Chinatown."
Marshall seems to understand.
He was wondering whether, in order to win the friendship of this Chinese doctor, he had to learn this kind of massage acupoints?
The anesthesiologist allowed the baby to resume breathing on his own, then sucked out the secretions from the respiratory tract and pulled out the tracheal intubation.
The little guy may have been irritated when he was suctioning sputum and extubating the tube. His limbs moved wildly. He had no idea that his fate had been completely changed at this time.
After half an hour of observation, the baby was normal.
Everyone went to the dressing room to change clothes. When the baby was pushed out from the operating room, the waiting father was very excited. He ran up, held the back of his head with both hands, and looked at his son. He was still alive.
When he heard that the operation was successful, the father was so excited that he made a muffled sound in his throat, his eyes flashed with tears, and he wanted to touch it with his hands, but he didn't dare.
The translator told him that he would need to be transferred to the intensive care unit and would be able to return to the general ward after he was stable.
On the way to the intensive care unit, the father kept holding on to the railing and looking at the baby. He wanted to touch the baby's face several times, but he retracted his hand.
Li Ze will transfer a doctor from the Cleveland Medical Center to be responsible for the post-operative monitoring of babies. This doctor is good at post-operative monitoring of children after cardiac surgery.
In this way, Yang Ping feels more at ease. As long as no accidents occur, the little one can survive the dangerous period after surgery smoothly, not to mention that Li Ze will be there.
At this time, he just wanted to return to China as quickly as possible, but there were not many flights from Saudi Arabia to China and they would only be available the next day, so he booked a flight for the next day.
Yang Ping looked at the time and saw that it was only after eleven o'clock. The corresponding time in China was around six o'clock in the morning. He said hello to Li Zehui and started to use his mobile phone to send WeChat messages and make calls in a conference room in the intensive care unit.
At this time, Xiao Su should be working out.
There is a gym at home with a treadmill. Xiao Su has a habit of working out. When she wakes up in the morning, she will spend an hour working out. If she has time to start a side business, Xiao Su would be a good fitness coach for female white-collar workers.
Tennis, swimming, and fitness are all Xiao Su’s favorite sports.
Running is a common hobby between the two of them. Yang Ping has been running from middle school to university. He also insists on doing pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, one-leg stand-ups and other free-hand fitness exercises every day.
I sent it via WeChat and Xiao Su responded immediately.
Xiao Su's home on Shuangsha Island, Yang Ping remembered that today was New Year's Eve, the day of reunion, and he was still far away in Saudi Arabia overseas.
We agreed to go to her house to celebrate the New Year, but now we are still having surgery outside. Fortunately, Xiaosu’s whole family is a doctor and they all understand.
Video call with Xiao Su for ten minutes.
Yang Ping dialed the video call of his parents again and received a call from his son. The two parents were so happy that they rushed to talk. Of course, the father gave way to the mother every time.
In the past, Yang Ping was most worried about finding a girlfriend, but now she no longer worries about it because her mother has started urging marriage and childbirth again.
Now that Yangping's economic conditions have improved, they have asked for money to go back several times, but the two elders refused. They said they owed some money to build a house, but that was their business. They should pay off the money they owed, and they could not let future generations pay it back.
One person does what one generation does.
Before the New Year, Xiao Su bought some southern-style souvenirs as gifts from Japan, picked out a few sets of good clothes, packed them and sent them back together.
Yang Ping's parents were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. When their mother put on the new clothes, when people in the village asked, they proudly replied: "My daughter-in-law bought this." The blind dates cast envious glances.
After calling my parents, I called my sister again. I worked outside and rarely saw my parents once a year. The task of taking care of my parents fell to my sister.
My sister and brother-in-law are both rural teachers. A few years ago, my brother-in-law resigned to start a business. I don’t know what the situation is like.
Anyway, every time I ask them, they say it’s very good.
On New Year's Day, after a round of greetings, Yang Ping sat down to rest.
Li Zehui's handover is almost over, it's time for lunch.
Robert understands Yang Ping better than Li Zehui.
Since Li Zehui had arranged lunch and he had just completed the operation and needed to rest, Robert accepted Li Zehui's arrangement and had lunch near the hospital.
But in the evening, Robert said he had to make the arrangements.
He found a Chinese restaurant called Jixinyuan, a famous Chinese restaurant in Jeddah, and had dinner there.
Dumplings, authentic Chinese dumplings!
The table should be round-shaped, with red tablecloth, and it is best to hang red lanterns, Chinese knots or firecracker models at the door.
Robert repeatedly emphasized that he had to confirm this with the restaurant repeatedly before he felt at ease.
On New Year's Eve, if you dare to invite Dr. Yang to dinner if you don't have dumplings, your joke will reach the Red Sea.
Although Li Zehui is Westernized and knows some about Chinese culture, he still neglected to mention the dumplings.
Robert was very dissatisfied with Li Zehui and believed that Chinese food should serve dumplings instead of Saudi food.
So he decided to go out on his own and arrange the dinner.
Place the baby in the intensive care unit and everyone goes to eat together.
After lunch, Yang Ping rested in the hotel and made another round of phone calls.
