Okay, now the most difficult surgical procedure has been chosen, but there is little time left for the Chief Surgeon and the assistants. The numbers on the electronic clock on the wall are ticking away, showing five hours and thirty-two minutes.
The air in the operating room becomes scorching hot, and the faces behind the doctors' masks are slightly sweaty. There is noise from the next operating room, and people passing in the surgery corridor are saying: "Is Dr. Han on his way back?"
"Yes. Fortunately, we can make it in time to use it."
"Whether it can be used might have to wait until the heart arrives. How is Dr. Cao's side of the surgery going?"
"It's hard to say. Their donor heart is far away, and it has taken a long time to bring it back. The heart doesn't tolerate long durations. Perhaps both surgeries will end at about the same time."
Tonight, both surgeries are unusual, with the donor heart challenging the transplant surgeons' technical limits.
