Girl, change your scrub first before operaring on the next patient 😑
And seriously, you can't do an open heart surgery while the heart is beating. You need to stop the heart and direct the blood to heart-lung bypass machine. The machine moves blood away from the heart so that the surgeon can operate. I doubt they have that. And the 30 minute mark? Omg.
I like the romance and political issue in the story, but the medical one really put me off. The writer didn't research enough.
Better skip the medical part and focus on other theme, seriously.
