Early in the morning, I thought there would be a special patient.

But I didn't expect it to be this special.

Zhou Mo Sen originally planned to stay in Palm Springs, after all, the scenery there is good, and the air is nice too.

Besides, Owen told Zhou Mo Sen that there were people from the Gulf Group involved.

Zhou Mo Sen was sure that he should be safe.

Before crossing over, he had seen a report.

The biggest head of the Gulf Group, a guy named Jorge, was caught.

This leader had been wanted and rewarded for several years, apparently 5 million.

But this time, the reason he was caught was... the Gulf Group kidnapped two Americans.

That sounds absurd.

Just because they kidnapped two Americans, the CIA swiftly captured the head of this powerful military group that had dominated America for years?

Is your CIA really that impressive?

If they were so impressive, how could this group have been rampant for so many years?

Of course, a lot of public intellectuals were just there praising that they're incredible without a backer, taking down such a powerful criminal group.

But any friend with a functioning IQ could definitely see something was up here.

The head captured might really be the head.

But, probably the Gulf Group won't collapse because of this.

The inside story, Zhou Mo Sen certainly didn't know.

But just from the fact that capturing the head happened because they kidnapped two Americans.

It's really like burning paper offerings at a grave, fooling the ghosts.

The United States has done plenty of such things.

But as for now, Zhou Mo Sen is an American, so he's really not afraid of the Gulf Group.

This infamous illegal military group dominating South America definitely wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the United States.

And because of this, Zhou Mo Sen was so arrogant.

At the time, looking at Carlos' face, Zhou Mo Sen felt very pleased inside.

But anyway, Zhou Mo Sen had already arrived at the UCLA Medical Center.

This patient is indeed special, but treatment is still necessary.

The governor, actually, is okay.

He's not a bad person, but from being a bodybuilding champion to a world-famous tough guy star, and now the Governor of California.

Schwarzenegger certainly has had a special journey of the heart.

His wife is Maria Shriver, which might sound like a strange surname.

But she's genuinely the niece of former President Kennedy.

There are many stories about Kennedy, but he probably never expected to become famous on China's internet later on.

One is him, the other a five-star general.

One with wild imagination, one with sharp commentary.

It became popular on the Chinese internet 60 to 70 years later.

Various memes, let's not go into detail, are quite hellish.

But no matter what, the fact that the governor could become the governor.

Surely, it has a lot to do with his wife.

Or to put it directly, it has to do with the Kennedy family.

Maria is just a niece,

And she was originally a journalist, with a rather quirky personality.

Zhou Mo Sen knows that this woman later divorced the governor, and was photographed again years later, and Americans were shocked.

There was this TV drama that aired after Zong Da Variety back then, "Lionheart"... cough, Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit old-fashioned now.

Twenty years later, Maria Shriver had become like the main character of that drama.

The main female character?

The female lead was quite impressive, either involved with the governor in Terminator or had tangled with the Terminator's director.

Sarah Connor's actress, Linda Hamilton, was married to Cameron for a short time, but during the divorce, Cameron paid her 50 million US Dollars.

That was 1999's 50 million US Dollars.

And Maria was like that male lead.

In other words, she had developed typical lion-like features.

Zhou Mo Sen is a doctor, he could tell at a glance.

This should be due to an illness.

It might be lymphocytic leukemia, or perhaps a genetic disease.

Of course, Dr. Zhou couldn't make a diagnosis, he could only look at the photos.

Yet, American netizens are so sarcastic.

All kinds of teasing, all kinds of roasting.

It seems they also enjoy the Kennedy meme.

And now...

Maria is already lying in bed, looking quite calm.

That's right, what we're going to do next is a liver transplant surgery.

The patient is Catherine Schwarzenegger, and the liver donor should be her mother, Maria.

Next...

"Mr. Governor, we still need to discuss a little, please wait a moment."

"Alright."

Zhou Mo Sen didn't even have a few words with the governor before Professor Hansen appeared.

Then he pulled Zhou Mo Sen and Sidney into his office.

Evidently, we were having a small meeting first.

Zhou Mo Sen looked at the films, and the medical records.

"Are we still waiting for Professor Feng John?"

This statement made Hansen see him in a new light.

"Indeed, we have to wait for him. Without him, the governor wouldn't trust us."

It was clear that Hansen felt a bit helpless.

Zhou Mo Sen smiled and nodded, while Sidney frowned.

"But we can't! Didn't the change in the patient's condition expedite the need for a transplant? If we keep waiting and something goes wrong, then this..."

Sidney's concern was justified.

Clearly, the unexpected change in the patient's condition necessitated an earlier liver transplant.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to call Zhou Mo Sen over.

But, Feng John is the current authority in liver transplantation.

If this leading figure doesn't show up, the governor obviously won't feel assured.

As Zhou Mo Sen was summoned,

this operation was undoubtedly going to be a laparoscopic liver transplant.

Moreover, Zhou Mo Sen had already made a simple deduction.

The governor's family did not wish to expose this surgery to the media.

This is understandable.

Because Schwarzenegger became the governor not long ago.

That's how it is, the state election indeed selects the governor first, then the state senator.

The terms are also different.

But by now, Schwarzenegger hasn't even warmed the governor's seat.

It can be further deduced.

That is, Catherine's liver damage may be related to some unsavory matters.

Maybe she used some medication.

What exactly it is, Zhou Mo Sen wasn't naive, he certainly wouldn't delve too deep.

And to talk about how the governor's daughter used that bad medicine... well, it could just be an American version of the "yellow hair".

These are all gossip, and Zhou Mo Sen was merely guessing.

Of course, it's also possible Catherine's issue was due to genetic mutation.

After all, her mother later obviously developed a lion-like face.

But in any case, the governor's family absolutely hopes these rumors don't surface in the media.

This would have a huge impact on a governor who's just taken office not long ago.

So, the surgery has to be conducted in secrecy.

And laparoscopic surgery is the best option.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery, allowing normal eating the next day.

The surgical wound is also very small.

Perfect for keeping it confidential!

However, laparoscopic liver transplant is definitely something new.

Globally, there had only been one case before.

Which means, it carries significant risk.

Given the governor's status, naturally he'd trust someone like Feng John more.

Even if that single global case was a collaboration between Zhou Mo Sen and Hansen.

But since the patient was in an emergency, wasn't the surgery brought forward?

Liver transplant surgery usually takes at least five hours.

What if waiting too long results in...the patient dying on the operating table?

In hospitals, that's not unheard of.

At this moment, Hansen gave Zhou Mo Sen an interesting look.

Zhou Mo Sen caught it and realized.

This professor was actually presenting him with a challenge.

The challenge was how to race against time!

So...

Zhou Mo Sen smiled and said, "In the previous operation, laparoscopy was only used halfway."

This statement… surprised Sidney instantly.

"Are you planning to use laparoscopy during the hepatectomy as well?!"

Hepatectomy, which is the removal of the liver from the donor.

Last time, laparoscopy wasn't used!

That's why Zhou Mo Sen said only 'half' of it was used.

And now...

"Are you confident?" Hansen actually wanted this answer!

Zhou Mo Sen smiled again, "The risk is indeed high, but I..."

Before he could finish, Hansen directly said, "Once the surgery is done, you'll have an academic paper. Don't worry, you won't have to write a single word, but it will surely be credited to you."

What a smart Professor Hansen!

Zhou Mo Sen laughed, "Then let's get started."

Using laparoscopy during the hepatectomy was indeed daring.

But it not only aids in confidentiality, it also means Maria will have a minimal incision.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about whether Feng John shows up.

What he wants to see is not the second half, right?

It can also save a lot of time.

Retrieving the liver from the donor is not an easy task either, almost as complicated as transplanting it into the recipient due to the many blood vessels that need to be handled.

Using laparoscopy during the hepatectomy is undoubtedly a major innovation!

The key point is, my status as a general surgery specialist, Zhou Mo Sen, is solidified.
