Neurosurgery cases, if not involving brainstem surgeries, are generally not accepted into the Institute.
This case involves an American, a young 7-year-old female, introduced by Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Yang Ping stood outside the yellow line, walked to the head side of the patient, glanced, and then looked at the gauze nearby. Indeed, it was slightly more bleeding than Song Zimo's usual brainstem surgeries. Intracranial surgeries theoretically need to be clean and minimize bleeding.
This type of surgery isn't unacceptable with slightly more bleeding, but more bleeding indicates that separation is more difficult. Difficult separation easily damages brainstem tissue. If an impatient doctor loses patience, can't remain calm, trouble comes easily, possibly causing severe consequences, minor as disability or major as death.
The psychological resilience of a doctor is actually very important, especially when facing unpredictable surgical troubles.
