At 2:46 a.m. on Sunday, the moment Lin Jie put down the scalpel, he felt his legs go weak and his body light, as if he was stepping on cotton, floating in the clouds.
He knew this was the result of total exhaustion, both physically and mentally.
During the earthquake in the Bamboo Sea of western Sichuan, Lin Jie had worked intensely for more than twenty hours, but that was more of a physical drain, racing against time with very rough surgery processes.
However, in this surgery, Lin Jie had been in a state of extreme mental focus, not daring to neglect even a second, which doubled the consumption of his energy and strength.
Despite being utterly exhausted, Lin Jie also felt a sense of relief, even a bit of elation.
Because he knew that the cranial separation surgery for the conjoined twins was a success.
