"Mr Li is a seventy years old patient with a past record of heart failure, he has undergone artificial heart surgery to replace his left and right ventricle two years ago, the artificial heart that was implanted into his body is now faulty and it needs to be replaced, we are not just going to replace the right ventricle but we are going to replace the whole of his heart," Surgeon Wei said. Everyone around the room started murmuring, replacing the heart with an artificial heart is already a surgery that has a high failure rate, not to talk of replacing it twice, they all knew that the surgery was not going to be easy and there is a ninety-seven per cent chance that the surgery might fail. Mr Li Zhang Wei is known to be one of the most influential men in china, his children also hold high positions in the country, if the surgery fails, those that were in charge of the surgery will definitely face severe consequences and if the surgery is successful, they will surely be promoted and receive other benefits, but they couldn't risk it. Most of the older surgeons in high positions were not satisfied with Yue Ling and Yu Yan being the surgeon in charge and the assistant surgeon, they felt that the both of them were too young and inexperienced to perform the surgery, the announcement in the last meeting doesn't really count since they were not really aware of the full situation so they wanted to take the chance of snatching the opportunity from the both of them.
Everyone focused their gaze on Yu Yan and Yue Ling to see their reaction after the patient condition has been explained and as expected, the both of them seemed anxious, there is no way anyone won't be anxious in such a situation, it was indeed a huge pressure for them, they had only started working in the hospital for seven years and they started as resident surgeons and attended other medical training for five years, it has only been two years since the both of them became general surgeons. They were indeed not appropriate for such an important surgery, if the surgery fails they knew that it would be the end of their career.
"I know that in the last meeting, I nominated Surgeon Yu Yan from the general department and surgeon Yue Ling from the cardiology department but now that the complexity of the surgery has been explained, I know that there might be slight changes. So, anyone is free to speak of their opinions" the chief surgeon said, the hall became noisy once again, they all started talking to each other in pairs.
"I don't think I can handle the risk of this surgery, the last time we had this meeting, I wasn't even sure of how important the patient I so I made my research, he is really a big shot and he is not to be messed with," Xiao Qi said to Yu Yan who is sitting beside her.
"Even I am just finding out, I am not really sure about it too, I want to do the surgery but I am not sure if I am ready to risk my career on such a risky surgery," Yu Yan said. The chief surgeon frowned when he saw that everyone in the hall was speaking to each other and the meeting hall was already noisy.
"If anyone has an opinion or anything to say, let everyone hear it," the chief surgeon said with authority and dissatisfaction resounding in his voice.
They all glanced at each to her and kept quiet, Yue Ling, on the other hand was really desperate to perform the surgery, she has always been an excellent surgeon and has always dived into dangerous surgeries in the last two years but she has always been successful in all of her surgeries. She wasn't expecting the surgery to be this complicated but she was still having mixed feelings about the surgery, part of her wanted to do the surgery in order to increase her experience, such an opportunity is very hard to come by, if she has the experience of being successful in such an operation, she would definitely increase her value in the hospital and it will help her to fulfil her ambitions, another part of her didn't want to do the surgery in fear that the career that she has struggled to build without her parent connection might crumble.
Finally, one of them raised up his hand to speak.
"I don't think it is right that we should allow surgeon Yu and surgeon Yue to perform this surgery and I am sure that if Mr Wei fins out that the surgeons who are to perform such a complex surgery for him have only just completed their residency two years ago, he definitely won't allow it," Surgeon Chang said, he is a surgeon in his early fifty's, and one of the most experienced surgeons in the hospital, he is also known for his greediness and his bootlicking skills, he makes sure that he takes up any surgery that concerns V.I.P's and that his why he has been promoted severally during his career as a surgeon. Many people in the meeting room nodded in agreement with his suggestion including the chief surgeon.
"What do you think surgeon Kang?" the chief surgeon asked
"I agree with what surgeon Chang said, not to talk of the patient if his children know that we are letting such young surgeons perform this surgery, it might cause problems for us" Surgeon Kang replied, surgeon Kang is a specialist surgeon from Korea and he is also one of the board of directors so he has a say in the operation of the hospital. Surgeon Chang smiled in satisfaction when he saw that surgeon Kang agreed with him.
"The surgery will take place next month, for now, the patient will be put under special medical care before the surgery, next two weeks another meeting will be held regarding the nomination of the surgical crew," the chief surgeon said, then he stood up and left the meeting room. As soon as the chief surgeon left the room, the other surgeons left then they started discussing on their way back to their various department.
"Yu Yan, I think what they said is right, there is no way his children will agree to let us perform their father surgery, if I were in their position, I will do the same" Xiao Qi said to Yu Yan after they left the meeting room.
"I also have the same thought but I really want to perform the surgery, not because of the fame I will get if it is successful but because of the experience, the first time I saw the surgery being performed although it wasn't as complex as this, I really wanted to try it once and the opportunity is here but I am not sure that I am ready for such a big challenge," Yu Yan said
"I agree with you but you should really consider the pros and cons of performing the surgery, it has a high failure rate, if it fails, it might be the end of your career," Xiao Qi said
"I will, you should also think about what you want to do, you were supposed to be the second assisting surgeon," Yu Yan said
"Alright, I am already here, bye," Xiao Qi said then she waved her hand and left after they separated, Yu Yan sighed, then she took the elevator to return to her office.
They were all anxious to know that context of the meeting when they saw Yu Yan entering the office, they smiled knowing that their curiosity will finally be satisfied.
"How did the meeting go?" An Ke sked with curiosity written on her face.
"It didn't go well, the surgery was more complicated than everyone thought" Yu Yan replied.
"I heard that the patient is to have an artificial heart implant, although the surgery has a high failure rate, you should still consider doing the surgery," Li Chen said, then An Ke shook her head in agreement, but Yu Yan sighed then she sat up on her seat and turned her chair to face Li Chen.
"That was what we all thought so I was willing to take the risk and challenge myself but that is not all, although total artificial heart implantation is not an easy surgery, removing an implanted artificial heart and replacing it with a total artificial heart is almost impossible," Yu Yan said
"What do you mean, I know a surgeon who has performed such surgery before but he is a European surgeon and he is not my personal acquaintance," An Ke said
"Don't tell me that is the surgery you are going to perform?" Li Chen said then An Ke looked at Yu Yan in shock, she didn't know that was what Yu Yan meant to say.
"It is" Yu Yan replied then the both of them exchanged glances.
"How are you supposed to perform such complex surgery?" An Ke asked
Although Xiaomeng was in the office too, she didn't bother to say anything, she was in fact happy that Yu Yan was going to have a hard time with the surgery.
"that is not all, the patient is a V.V.I.P patient and he is one of the most influential people in China, if the surgery fails, that would be the end of my career," Yu Yan said
"I don't think you should go-ahead to perform the surgery, the loss is greater than the gain" Li Chen said with concern resounding in his voice.
"Everyone in the meeting was against me and Yue Ling performing the surgery and I also agree with them, the surgical crew might be determined next two week," Yu Yan said, then she sighed again.
"I don't think it is wise to perform such a complex surgery," Li Chen said.

"Why didn't you bring the bag to my house yesterday?" Han Chen asked, Roy and Shi Fen came to his house to visit him then he remembered that he asked Shi Fen to bring his bag yesterday but he was to happy being with Yu Yan to even remember his bag.
"I was too heartbroken to come here yesterday when I went to your sister's villa, she was there, I asked her about her stay abroad but all she kept talking about was her boyfriend," Shi Fen said, then Roy and Han Chen exchanged glances, they were trying their best not to laugh at him but they just couldn't hold it in. The first time Han Chen introduces Shi Fen to his sister two years ago, he fell in love with her at first sight, since then whenever he sees Jia Yu, he always stammers.
"You should just find yourself another girl, I am sure you will get over it soon," Roy said
"Boss, how could you allow her to date another guy, she told me that you were very close with him and you approved of their relationship," Shi Fen said
"I am sorry but her boyfriend is indeed handsome and likeable, moreover, what I say wouldn't matter, she has fallen head over heels for him already," Han Chen said.
