43 Success and failure

Zeng urged himself to do well today. It was his responsibility to save the patient's life and he would give his best shot.

The Emergency Ward was alerted for a scheduled arrival of an emergency. The patient was a case of multiple stab wounds and was brought to the hospital via ambulance which had departed from the location as soon as possible.

Dr Xiao Zeng was in his surgery scrub, ready for his first major surgery, his hands firm inside the gloves and eyes determined.

He waited with his team in OT no.1 among the three operation theatres. The ward boys brought in the patient on a stretcher. The moment he laid his eyes on the bleeding man, he froze in his place. Nausea bubbled at the pit of his stomach, making him sick to his soul.
