[I’m so happy. I thought the surgeon had stopped livestreaming…]

[Youngster, you will only appreciate the things that you’ve lost.]

[You guys talk, I’ll have a look at the case details. The surgeon no longer allows downloads and honestly, without the patient’s details, I’m at a loss.]

Hundreds of people entered the livestream but the numbers were significantly lower than before.

Remembering their previous mistakes, the audience quickly read through the case details before they disappeared.

The surgery began with imaging. With his Grandmaster-level skill, the procedure was easy. By the time the audience had finished reading the case, imaging was already complete.

[Imaging is done? I’d just left to read the patient details. That’s some incredible speed.]

[It seems like a tough surgery. I wonder what the surgeon plans to do. An emergency wire-guided hemostasis surgery for a lower GI tract bleed? Is the surgeon trying to do the impossible?]

[Don’t spout nonsense when you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. Using imaging to identify the bleed is common these days, but not a lot of people perform the surgery itself because the risk is high. Even with the imaging data, only about 20% of patients go to surgery.]

Medical opinions flew by in streams and for a moment, the livestream resembled its former glory.

Its audience knew the surgery was difficult.

Among its spectators were experienced doctors from Imperial Capital, Sorcery Capital and Provincial Capital. They had seen patients with similar conditions before and knew the likely outcome.

The surgery, while doable, was high-risk.

Most doctors would refuse to perform such a surgery.

Knowing the challenge posed, viewer curiosity was at an all-time high.

[The location of the bleed is not obvious from the imaging. There are too many things going on in the abdomen. Any movement will alter the image.]

[The one who called this a common procedure, come out and explain how you would do it.]

[Don’t listen to that fellow’s nonsense. Didn’t you see the patient’s test report? In his condition, there’s a 90% chance he won’t survive a laparotomy.]

Zheng Ren grimly studied the angiographic image.

It was impossible to locate the source of the blood with the intestines spasming everywhere.

His hopes of using interventional radiology to identify the bleed were dashed. He simply could not make sense of the visual data.

There was only one thing left to do.

Zheng Ren entered the System and traded his experience points for training time. The operating theater rose from the ground.

He had faith in his plan, but it was a rare procedure. He needed some practice in the System before attempting it in the outside world.

[Why isn’t the surgeon moving? Are they frozen? I can’t believe the surgeon dared livestream a case like this, they must be out of their mind.]

[Hold your tongue. Someone once said something similar and had to eat their words minutes later. I can foresee history repeating itself!]

[It’s a difficult call to make. I suspect a bleed from one of the mesenteric artery branches. Would embolization be viable? Any experts on interventional or general surgery here?]

[Not an expert, but I can shed some light on the issue. Unlike the uterine artery, the mesenteric artery cannot be embolized without harming the organs. The intestine will necrotize if its blood supply is cut off.]

[The h.e.l.l, this is a life on the line. What’s the surgeon thinking? There’s still time to turn back.]

As the comments went wild, Zheng Ren suddenly moved.
