"The founders of the profession of surgeons are a group of people, and their name is Tony. Yes, it is Mr. Tony from the barber shop.

Yao Le told the talk show with humor, allowing the audience to travel through the "past and present" life of surgery with laughter.

What will happen to surgery if humans lose anesthesia? Yao Le led the audience to "immerse" the operation scene like a slaughterhouse.
