The patient had already been anesthetized and intubated for general anesthesia. Dr. Tao was preparing the patient's position, waiting for Director Tian's instructions.
The surgical position is crucial; one inaccurate positioning could render the operation impossible.
The films were hanging on the operation room's lightbox. Director Tian read the films again. Although Dr. Tao had already marked the operation site, Director Tian decided to verify the left or right side of the operation site himself.
"Professor Tian, how many people do we need in the surgery?" asked Director Miao.
Director Tian replied, "Just the two of us, Director, and we need Dr. Yang onboard. Dr. Song can rest."
Song Zimo was responsible for driving. He needed to rest to avoid fatigue in case he had to drive back at night, so he stayed on as backup.
