Chen Yu's surgeries had almost settled into a fixed team pattern, with him as the chief surgeon, Jounouchi Hiromi as his dedicated anesthesiologist, and the second assistant role alternated between Doctor Higashiyama and the Glasses Doctor. As for the third assistant, that role was almost invariably filled by the lucky trainee doctor, Nakagawa Susumu.
As for the first assistant in surgery, Chen Yu didn't mind having Jounouchi Hiromi assist him, but most of the time Jounouchi Hiromi was just his dedicated anesthesiologist. In most cases, it would be Doctor Higashiyama and the Glasses Doctor, the pair serving as second assistants, who would step in as the first assistant. After all, if the surgery wasn't too difficult, it wasn't necessary to have all three assistants present.
Of course, for major surgeries like the one today, Chen Yu would also invite Daimon Michiko to be his first assistant.
