Queen of The Scalpel - Chapter 37

This person…
Hearing his response, Elise thought that maybe this person was a good man, despite his hard words.
The man spoke.
“Call me Ron.”
“Alright, Ron. Then let’s get started right away.”
First they anesthetized him, wore medical gloves, and used the disinfectant Fleming had invented to clean the location of the injury.
‘Gunshot wound. Spleen damage…’
Actually, at first, she had been worried if it was okay for her to stand up. And If she could do this big surgery. She was already receiving excessive attention. It was unimaginable how much attention she would get after this surgery. But she didn’t worry for too long.
A patient was dying right in front of her. What could be more important than saving a patient? ‘Enough with the useless thoughts. This is the beginning. Let’s do well, Elise.’
Her gaze sunk. ‘Looking from the outside, it’s at least a grade V injury. The moment I lose control, we lose the patient. Let’s do our best.’
Even as doctor Song Jihyun, this surgery wasn’t easy for her. Without treatment, the chances of death were 100%. Even attempting the surgery was dangerous. Since it was like that on Earth, it would be worse here.
But it didn’t matter. She was going to do her best regardless of the situation. So she was definitely going to save him.
Thump.
Her heart palpitated from nervousness at the brink of life and death. It was a familiar nervousness. And a nervousness that she had been longing for. She had longed for this moment of grasping the scalpel.
“Scalpel, please.”
Rose received the surgical knife from an assistant. On the other hand, her teach Grayam looked at her with a confused face. ‘Just what…’ He didn’t know what he was doing. He ended up following her, but she was really going through with this surgery? Of course, he knew. That it was better to do something than letting the patient die. And if they continued with as the girl said, it might really be possible to save the patient.
However…could she really do it? This big surgery that no one had attempted? It was impossible! He wanted to shout out loud.
But looking at her, he shut his mouth. In front of the surgical field, she was completely different. The normal softness she exuded was gone. Rather, he could only feel her iron will. It was an intense pressure he never would’ve imagined he would feel from her.
“…”
And…the Crown Prince, Linden, looked at the person chosen to be his fiance with undecipherable eyes.
“Open.”
Along with those words, her hands moved up and down. Midline incision! The scalpel split the stomach into right and left. And….
The blood that was gathered inside flew everywhere!!
“!!!”
“!!!!!”
At the immense amount of blood splattering around them, Grayam and Linden were taken aback. Only Elise wasn’t shocked. She immediately started to get to work.
“We have to stop it from bleeding more! Gauze! Please press on it with gauze, Ron!!”
“…!”
“And doctor, please move the greater omentum towards here!”
The two frantically moved according to her orders. ‘The bleeding is too much. We need to finish it as soon as possible!’ Elise bit her lips. It had been a while since the patient was in shock. He could have a heart attack any second. They need to use any means possible to stop the bleeding. ‘I have to get vision on it first.’
Because of the blood, she couldn’t see any of the internal organs.
“Please give me as much gauze as you can. Ron, please wipe the blood.”
If she was on Earth, she could use suction for the blood, but this was the empire. They had to get rid of the blood by themselves.
“Doctor Grayam, please move the stomach more towards here with this tool. And lift up the ribcage as well.”
Following her orders, a surprising thing occurred. The spleen that was deep inside the abdominal cavity showed itself.
“…!”
Grayam couldn’t get a grasp on his attention even though he was following her orders. ‘Just what…?! This child?’ She was too skilled. Like she had done this skill several times. How was this possible? But it wasn’t the time to be surprised by her.
“The injury…how do we?”
Grayam moaned. The injury of the spleen was bad. The gun had completely ripped the spleen, and blood was pouring out. There was nothing they could do. Grayam thought that giving up now would be better for the patient.
But at the same time, Elise was having other thoughts. ‘It’s actually a relief. Since the bullet didn’t hurt any of the other big organs, and only pierced the spleen. It’s possible.’
“What will you do now, Rose?”
Elise answered.
“I’m going to cut the spleen.”
“…!”
Grayam’s eyes shook.
“How? The spleen is next to the organs around it. It’s not something you can just snip off with scissors.”
“We can scale it off. Especially if I just peel off the tip of the pancreas around it, it’s possible.”
“…!”
