Do not say too much to the mother; saying too much adds to her worries. Doctor Tang used herself as an example, effectively calming the mother’s heart. In such a situation, if everyone has been through it, I needn’t be afraid either.

Li Xiaobing’s expression relaxed.

Seizing the time, as Doctor Tang was helping her husband prepare the episiotomy instruments, she asked the others, "Who, ah? Old Du can’t move his hands, who will help with the disinfection?"

Song Xueling’s hand, which had withdrawn, was completely stiff and took a while to recover.

Cao Yong, accompanying the mother, couldn’t leave.

Remaining was Huang Zhilei, who hurriedly put on gloves to assist with the obstetrics work.

"Hold on, don’t let go until I say so," Du Haiwei repeatedly issued a command like a death order to Student Xie.

Oh my god, Talented Scholar Song was freed, but Student Xie needed to maintain the original position and continue holding, which was terribly painful. Lin Hao and Li Qi’an thought that if they had to be in Xie Wanying’s place, they would probably feel that they’d die before the mother did.

"Yes—" Xie Wanying squeezed out this word through clenched teeth to respond to her teacher.

She didn’t dare to relax, as all her highly tense nerves were concentrated in those few fingers, and she could barely speak.

Seeing her like this, the others sped up their actions.

"Hurry up," Doctor Tang urged Huang Zhilei to disinfect.

Huang Zhilei’s head was also sweating profusely. He hadn’t been to the delivery room in a long time after graduation, and he had almost forgotten all the obstetrics knowledge from his OB/GYN internship. Now, forcing him to recall everything about obstetrics suddenly felt like an impossible task.

"Disinfect, disinfect, and this area too," Doctor Tang stood behind him instructing for her husband. If her husband was assisting her all the time, she’d do it herself. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Only by being quick can Huang Zhilei help the mother and those little juniors escape their predicament. He held his concentration and quickly disinfected the operation and surrounding areas with a large disinfectant swab.

Doctor Tang and the nurse together broke the glass ampoule of Lidocaine and saline, drew the mixture into a syringe, and handed it to Huang Zhilei.

Taking the syringe, first perform nerve block anesthesia on the perineum. The goal was to numb the pudendal nerve before withdrawing the needle, then perform local skin infiltration anesthesia in the surgical area.

The injection of anesthesia is destined to be painful. Li Xiaobing felt her face scrunch up the moment the needle pierced her. However, this pain was far less than the pain of contractions or the agony of being unable to deliver the baby.

Cao Yong squeezed her hand to encourage her.

Li Chengyuan connected the defibrillator taken from the ambulance to the patient’s chest wall for cardiac monitoring during labor.

Doctor Tang asked the medical student, Lin Hao, to use a towel to wipe the sweat off Huang Zhilei’s head, mentioning to the young doctor, "What are you afraid of? Is this procedure really more difficult than the brain surgeries you neurosurgeons perform?"

The boss teachers always spoke in this style, seemingly always nonchalant and composed when facing challenges.

Huang Zhilei felt like crying. How could he not be scared, the patient was his Senior Zhu’s wife, and he had forgotten all the obstetrics knowledge. Like now, he was entirely following Du Haiwei’s instructions. It could only be said that the basic technical skills of a doctor prevented him from being as panicked as a medical student. Many aspects of various medical departments are quite similar. Local anesthesia procedures are roughly the same, as long as the positioning is accurate, there’s no need to be too afraid.
