chapter 3: another save

The room fell into a tense silence as Mina made the first incision. The intricate dance of precision and expertise began, each movement calculated to the finest detail. The patient's genetic therapy required delicate manipulation, and Mina's hands moved with unwavering confidence.

"Dr. Han, we're ready for the first genetic sequence insertion," Dr. Liu reported.

"Proceed," Mina commanded, her eyes never leaving the surgical field.

Hours passed in a blur of meticulous work, the team operating with clockwork precision under Mina's leadership. Every step was a critical juncture, every moment a test of their collective skill and resolve.

"How's the patient's response?" Mina inquired as they neared the final stages of the procedure.

"Response is within expected parameters," Dr. Liu replied, his voice tinged with relief. "We're in the home stretch."

"Excellent. Begin closing, Let's wrap this up."

With the final suture in place, Mina stepped back, her hands trembling slightly from the intense concentration. The team collectively exhaled, the tension in the room dissipating as they realized they had achieved the impossible.

"Well done, everyone," Mina praised, her voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through her veins. "Let's get the patient stabilized and into recovery."

As the team began the post-operative protocols, Director Jiang approached Mina, a look of profound gratitude and respect in his eyes. "Dr. Han, your skills are nothing short of miraculous. Thank you for saving this life tonight."

Mina nodded, her mind already shifting to the next steps. "It's what we do. Now, let's ensure our patient has the best possible recovery. Our job is far from over."
