"There's cardiac tamponade. I'm about to slice it open to reduce the pressure," Faulkner ordered as he gazed at the surgical field.
As he was not familiar with the people helping him out, it was better for him to state what he was about to do beforehand.
Department Director Kang, who was panting, heard the interpreter's rendition of Faulkner's words and quickly said, "Prepare for blood transfusion. When the heart is sliced open and the pressure lowers, a lot of blood would gush out."
"I've already prepared the blood bags," the anesthetist said in a soft voice.
Department Director Kang turned and saw a couple of blood bags that had already been defrosted. He could not help but click his tongue. "Good job, you're improving day by day. You're able to take things into consideration even before the chief surgeon did."
The chief surgeon was a foreigner, so he was not worried about offending him.
