Post-surgical bleeding is a relatively common complication in surgical procedures, sometimes caused by the surgery itself, while other times it may be due to various other postoperative reasons. Depending on the situation, medically, the bleeding caused by other postoperative reasons is referred to as secondary bleeding.

Bleeding caused by the surgery itself mostly occurs on the day of the surgery within a few hours afterward and is typically known as primary bleeding, whereas secondary bleeding usually occurs around 7-10 days after the surgery.

The causes of secondary bleeding are diverse and, compared to primary bleeding, can range from mild to severe. Severe cases of secondary bleeding may even lead to hemorrhagic shock and endanger the patient's life.

As for the causes of postoperative secondary bleeding, there are many factors involved, such as pre-existing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic bronchitis in patients before surgery, which are all possible causes of secondary bleeding after the procedure.

However, the patient at hand did not have any of these systemic diseases, which made Chen Yu consider the possibility of other causes leading to secondary bleeding.

Was it preoperative anticoagulant medication? Improper postoperative care? Or some factors during the surgery that led to secondary bleeding?

If one were to delve into the reasons, there would be too many potential causes of secondary bleeding to list; one could even write several related papers on the subject. Therefore, even though Chen Yu knew the patient had secondary bleeding in the kidney, he could not immediately determine the exact cause.

Even though his body was now that of an Underworld Feather Angel with a Divine Body, and his two eyes had been enhanced with a magic eye modification, his capabilities allowed him to directly see inside the patient's body. However, after all, these were still human eyes, and he could only see bleeding in the patient's kidney, unable to locate the precise bleeding point. As for the cause of the bleeding, that required pathological analysis and could not be simply seen with the naked eye.

Moreover, even if Chen Yu knew the answer, he could not just tell others directly. Medicine is about evidence, and although much of it involves speculation, it must be backed by sufficient factual basis, or else, even if what Chen Yu said was true, it would be difficult to convince others.

Fortunately, modern medical diagnostic tools are very advanced and did not keep Chen Yu waiting long before the specific cause was identified.

"The cause of the bleeding was due to a mistake made by Professor Shiye's assistant during the last surgery, which caused the suture to slip due to increased blood pressure postoperatively, resulting in secondary bleeding," Jounouchi Hiromi said, placing the examination report on Chen Yu's desk, her expression somewhat troubled.

Chen Yu picked up the report and began to read through its contents. Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi's somber face, he asked her, "What's wrong, Hiromi? You look upset?"

"The secondary bleeding in the patient might be my fault," Jounouchi Hiromi explained guiltily to Chen Yu: "During the surgery, Professor Shiye's assistant made a mistake that caused massive bleeding in the patient. When you were resuscitating, I controlled his blood, which is why we were able to stop the bleeding so quickly. But this also resulted in a lower blood pressure in the patient's blood vessels than normal. So once his blood pressure rose after the surgery, the original suture slipped, causing the bleeding! This is all due to my negligence!"

Jounouchi Hiromi spoke with deep self-reproach for her actions during the surgery, regretting that she had not considered this possibility, which would have prevented the current situation.

Looking at Jounouchi Hiromi's remorseful face, Chen Yu stood up, took her into his arms, and comforted her, "Hiromi, you had good intentions, and if anyone is to blame, shouldn't it be me for not suturing more securely? What's most important right now is not who's at fault, but how to treat the patient."

Receiving Chen Yu's reassurance, Jounouchi Hiromi felt slightly better as she lifted her head from his chest, "Do we need surgery to stop the bleeding?"

"Surgical intervention is the most appropriate method, although you could also use your blood control to stop the bleeding, but that might be harder to explain," Chen Yu shook his head, dismissing the idea of using magical means.

While utilizing magical methods could easily solve the problem and spare the patient some pain, such things are hard to explain to ordinary people. Besides, neither Chen Yu nor Jounouchi Hiromi planned on revealing to the hospital that they were Transcendents.

"Alright then, let me do the surgery. Since I caused the problem, I should resolve it," Jounouchi Hiromi insisted. As a doctor, she felt a heavy sense of guilt knowing that her actions had caused a postoperative complication that could have been avoided. She hoped to rectify her mistake as much as possible.

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's determination, Chen Yu nodded without objection. The procedure to stop the bleeding was minor, and Jounouchi Hiromi's skills were more than up to the task.

"Doctor Qingdai, you're back at work? Are you feeling alright?" In the General Surgery office, Qingdai had returned to work, and upon seeing her, a group of male doctors immediately crowded around her, showering her with concern and warmth.

"I've mostly recovered, so I came back to work, and I don't have any major issues anymore," Qingdai replied, maintaining her proper smile and politely thanking everyone.

For her, this response had become instinctive.

While she dealt with the male doctors, Qingdai also noticed Jounouchi Hiromi's empty desk and asked with curiosity, "Where is Doctor Jounouchi? Why is her desk empty?"

"Doctor Jounouchi has been promoted to Associate Professor by the hospital, so she has moved to the professor's office. Naturally, her desk here is now vacant," one of the male doctors explained to Qingdai, adding, "Professor Chen Yu has also been promoted to full professor. There's a celebration dinner by Professor Chen Yu tonight, will you be joining us, Doctor Qingdai?"

"Professor Chen Yu is hosting a dinner?" Qingdai was momentarily taken aback, but then quickly regained composure, considering for a moment she said, "I don't think it's very convenient for me to go tonight, right? You guys are definitely going to drink, and if I don't drink, wouldn't that dampen your spirits?"

"Who says that!" Another male doctor interjected as Qingdai spoke, quickly denying, "The atmosphere gets lively with Doctor Qingdai there! And Professor Jounouchi will also be there, and since she's also a woman, we won't get too rowdy."

Hearing the male doctor refer to Jounouchi Hiromi as Professor, Qingdai felt it odd but ultimately didn't decline, nodding in agreement to the invitation from the male doctors.
