Wednesday afternoon, a little after two o'clock, in the surgery experimental lab on the top floor of the Medical College's comprehensive experiment building.
Amid the hum of the extracorporeal circulation machine and ventilator, as well as the alarm sounds of various monitoring instruments, Guo Peng completed the final stitch.
He gently placed the surgical forceps and suture needle on the nearby surgical tray and turned, like the other students, anxiously watching the silent Lin Jie.
More than three hours earlier, the second experimental monkey had no vital signs.
Repeated resuscitation was ineffective, but Lin Jie had not said "stop," so Xiao Ganghao, Guo Peng, Gao Yanhong, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, and others had no choice but to press on with the surgery.
Lin Jie gently waved his hand, and Guo Peng immediately turned off the various running instruments.
The surgery lab returned to silence.
