Yang Lei, wearing a surgical gown, was asking the scrub nurse for a pair of Rampley sponge forceps and a kidney dish containing gauze and iodophor for surgical site disinfection.
On the operating table, the woman's words stunned both of them.
"Okay, auntie." Without any hesitation, Zheng Ren turned around to perform a surgical scrub and said, "I'll just use ordinary cephalosporin, is that alright?"
"Sure," replied the woman, obviously satisfied.
"..." Yang Lei froze for a brief moment. The scrub nurse, who had her back to the patient and was counting the surgical instruments, nearly burst into laughter and contaminated the sterile instrument table.
The surgery ended successfully. Even though there was no deliberate pursuit of speed, the whole procedure had been done dexterously to the point that the newly-allocated scrub nurse had to recount the surgical instruments without taking a break.
