Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Hot and Bothered

Once the young man’s abdomen was opened, the blood and fluid that gushed out, along with what was suctioned away, totaled nearly 1,600 milliliters.

With the sudden drop in abdominal pressure, the young man’s blood pressure dropped significantly.

The third standby IV line for rapid transfusion was quickly put to use, which managed to halt the drop in blood pressure.

Yan Feifan knew this was because an unknown bleeding point in the abdomen was now bleeding faster due to the reduced pressure.

His job was to find the bleeding point in the shortest time possible.

The young man’s body wouldn’t be able to withstand such a rapid and massive transfusion for long.

Yan Feifan began to rummage through the young man’s abdominal cavity.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably question how rough his movements were.

Those were a person’s cecum, large and small intestines, and other organs. How could this person act like he was rummaging through a junk box, with no sense of handling things gently?

To be honest, during surgery, surgeons don’t handle human organs as carefully as many people imagine—as if they were exquisite, priceless porcelain.

Many of their movements were quite “uninhibited.”

Yan Feifan quickly found the source of the bleeding.

A ruptured left kidney.

Seeing blood continuously seeping from three fissures on the surface of the left kidney, Yan Feifan knew this kidney couldn’t be saved.

He looked to Chen Yu for confirmation.

Chen Yu nodded and sighed softly. “Remove it.”

“Can you do it?”

Yan Feifan nodded as well.

Then, Chen Yu remembered to remind him, “Check the right kidney, too.”

The human body has two kidneys.

If one kidney is removed but the other functions normally, it doesn’t have a major impact on one’s life.

As long as one takes extra care in their daily life, they can maintain a normal lifestyle.

This extra care starts with a proper diet.

The diet should primarily consist of high-quality, low-protein foods. Protein intake should not be excessive, to avoid increasing the burden on the remaining kidney.

Food should also be low in sodium, light, and easy to digest.

One should not overeat or consume overly greasy foods.

Regular, moderate exercise is necessary, as is a consistent daily routine.

Overexertion must be avoided, and strenuous physical labor is out of the question.

It is crucial to avoid drugs and foods that are toxic to the kidneys and to have regular check-ups on kidney function.

One more thing to note is that if the single kidney functions normally, it will not affect one’s sex life.

Yan Feifan clamped the left renal artery, which supplied blood to the kidney, and at the same time ordered the transfusion to be stopped.

He then began to examine the young man’s right kidney.

A simple visual and manual inspection revealed no abnormalities in the right kidney.

After waiting a moment longer, he saw no drop in the young man’s blood pressure.

Yan Feifan felt a wave of relief.

’This means the left kidney was the only source of bleeding in the young man’s body.’

Yan Feifan mentally reviewed the kidney removal procedure for a moment, then began the operation…

Kidney removal and transplant surgeries are common surgical procedures.

After all, the number of uremia patients in China is enormous, even shockingly so.

Current research shows that patients with chronic kidney disease account for about 10% of China’s total population, meaning there are over 100 million chronic kidney disease patients in the country.

Among them, the number of uremia patients exceeds 3 million.

The number of patients with end-stage uremia who require dialysis or a kidney transplant alone is over 1.3 million.

And this number is increasing year by year.

The urology department at the Affiliated Hospital performed several kidney removals and transplants every day.

Due to the shortage of kidney sources, the kidneys required for transplant surgeries were, in most cases, donated by the patients’ family members or relatives.

Although Yan Feifan had never performed one himself, a kidney removal was a routine surgery, and he was extremely familiar with it in his mind…

At 3:40 AM, Yan Feifan finished the surgery.

He informed the young man’s family, who were waiting outside, about the surgery’s outcome, and then saw Xiao Man walk over.

“Mrs. Man, you need to get your rest. Staying up late isn’t good for you.”

Xiao Man chuckled. “It’s just this once. It won’t hurt.”

She then explained, “There have been incidents of kite strings injuring people before, just none as severe as this one.”

“I think it’s very necessary to report on this, to make kite enthusiasts more vigilant and careful.”

Yan Feifan grunted in agreement. “Kite strings are thin and strong. At high speeds, they’re as sharp as a razor blade. People really need to be careful.”

The two exchanged a few more words and then parted ways.

Yan Feifan returned to the surgical area’s changing room. After changing and washing up, he saw it was already almost 4:30 AM and decided not to go home.

He left the trauma surgery department and went straight to the director’s office in the plastic surgery center to rest.

Exhausted, he lay down on the sofa, pulled a blanket over himself, and quickly drifted off to sleep…

But he hadn’t been asleep for long before he was woken up by strange sounds.

“Baby, you’re so beautiful…”

The intermittent sound of a man and a woman talking slowly brought Yan Feifan’s hazy consciousness into focus…

The heavy panting and moans aroused a strange feeling in his body.

A wave of heat uncontrollably coursed through his body…

As a doctor, Yan Feifan naturally understood what was happening in the office.

Yan Feifan recognized the man’s voice. It was Liu Can, a resident in the plastic surgery department.

The woman’s voice was unfamiliar. He guessed she was probably a newly hired nurse at the plastic surgery center.

Medical staff work under relatively high pressure. And the best way to relieve that pressure is undoubtedly the most primitive of human activities.

Besides, with society becoming more and more open, it wasn’t all that rare for doctors and nurses, or doctors and other doctors, who hit it off to find an opportunity to blow off some steam with a passionate encounter.

’But how could these two be so bold and reckless as to do it in the director’s office?’

’Are they trying to get a thrill by courting disaster?’

Hearing the BANGING sounds coming from the director’s desk, Yan Feifan suddenly realized something.

’This sofa I’m on?’

At that thought, it felt like a thousand ants were crawling all over Yan Feifan’s skin, and he couldn’t stand it anymore.

He shot up into a sitting position.

Immediately after, two terrified screams of “AHH!” rang out one after the other.

Yan Feifan forced himself not to look at the two pale, shimmering figures.

After a flurry of rustling as they got dressed, a pleading voice reached his ears.

“Mr. Yan, I’m begging you. This was my first time. I acted on impulse, my head wasn’t clear, and I did something stupid coming here.”

It was Liu Can’s voice. “Please don’t tell the director.”

“I could be fired. I’m begging you.”

Immediately after, a woman’s voice also pleaded, “Mr. Yan, please, I’m begging you. If the director finds out, I’ll definitely be fired.”

“This job is very important to me. Please.”

Yan Feifan held up a hand, silencing them.

He turned his head to look out the window. “How did you get in?”

Liu Can’s voice piped up again. “I know a little about lockpicking. I just gave it a try, and I didn’t expect the director’s office door to actually open.”

“Mr. Yan, I swear, this is really my first time in here.”

’Yan Feifan didn’t believe his bullshit for a second.’

However, he didn’t want to know any more details. He waved his hand dismissively, his voice laced with disgust. “Don’t let it happen again!”

“Thank you…”

“Thank you…”

Amidst a continuous stream of thanks, Yan Feifan heard the office door click softly shut.

Once the two of them had left, Yan Feifan still felt exhausted, but he had lost all desire to sleep.

That wave of heat still lingered in his body…
