"How is Fang Lin?" asked Zheng Ren.
Zhao Yunlong had been keeping an eye on the ICU in the hours since the accident. After ensuring that Fang Lin's condition had stabilized, he invited Su Yun to dinner to thank them both for their help.
"Thanks to his timely resuscitation, he should be fine. You've saved him, Doctor Zheng, and I must thank you for that," said Zhao Yunlong, raising his glass. However, he soon realized that Zheng Ren did not drink, and so chugged the whiskey down in one go.
"How was the surgery on the patient with aortic dissection?" Zheng Ren's focus remained on the patient.
"Good. It took me six and a half hours to complete the surgery." Zhao Yunlong looked exhausted just recalling the elephant trunk surgery.
It usually entailed a six-and-a-half-hour operation including any potential intraoperative accidents under immense stress, which would wear anyone to a frazzle.
