54 You try doing it if yousre so good (1/2)

Wang Qian purchased a complete set of clothing for Zhang Fan. He couldn't refuse, as that would make her really unhappy. Wang Qian's son was now studying abroad, and her husband was incredibly busy with work. Work was alright for Wang Qian, but she was always incredibly bored in her free time. Due to her husband's high status in the government, it was inconvenient for her to make friends with whomever she pleased.

Zhang Fan had a simple and loyal personality. Wang Qian knew all this because she saw it for herself, which was why she really liked him. Not only was he a talented doctor, she felt that he was also of a good character. Li Xiao and Kang Hua also similarly had a high opinion of Zhang Fan.

Wang Qian had received some gift cards from her workplace, as well as some from various other people. After the shopping spree at the mall, Zhang Fan gave Wang Qian a ride home. He was then forced to stay and eat dinner with her. He was also given smokes and tea leaves as he left. That was always how it was every time that he visited her, which made him feel too awkward to visit Wang Qian often.

Kang Hua had managed to get acquainted with Li Xiao thanks to the previous game of Double Rise. Wang Qian was also helping her out, so Kang Hua finally got a chance to meet someone much higher in ranking. The end result was quite good for Kang Hua: she became the acting city leader of Chark City, a city bigger than Kuake City.

Zhang Fan felt that all of this had very little to do with him. No matter if Kang Hua was the city leader of Kuake City or Chark City, Zhang Fan didn't feel anything about it. That was the pity of someone who only cared about skills. He would see nothing but others' skills, feeling that only skills were the best.

Since it was almost New Year's, Chasu City Hospital kept giving its employees free gifts, such as rice, noodles, and cooking oil. Since this was Ouyang Hong's first year as superintendent, she wanted everyone to be in a celebratory mood for New Year's.

Director Zhao Jun refused to work on night shifts, which meant that Zhang Fan was also unable to work on night shifts as he was in a team with the director. This entire month had been the freest Zhang Fan had ever been in the past year and a half since he started working.

There was a scheduled surgery the next morning for the hepatobiliary department. It was for hepatic hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis of the liver, or commonly known as tapeworms. This was a problem common in northwestern China, especially in the nomadic herding areas. The reason for this was because canine tapeworms would live inside dogs' intestines. The tapeworm eggs would be spread by contaminated dog feces and often stick to herding dogs' fur or sheep fur, which could then spread to human hands. A person who ate food that was contaminated by tapeworm eggs would then become infected. The tapeworm eggs would hatch with the assistance of stomach acid, which helped the larvae inside break free. The tapeworms would then pass through the intestinal mucosa, the portal vein system... then, most tapeworms would end up in the liver. The larvae would mature for three weeks in the liver before developing into hydatids. The hydatids would then grow in in the liver, pressuring the nearby organs and possibly causing infections, liver ruptures, organ obstructions, or other such medical problems for the patient.

To explain more simply, when in the nomadic district, you would have to be careful when coming into contact with dogs or any water that might have been contaminated by dog feces as that could cause being infected by tapeworms. These parasitic tapeworms would live in the human liver; as time passed, the worms would grow in size and rapidly multiply. The liver would become distorted from the pressure of all the tapeworms, and the patient would feel discomfort, start to vomit, and display jaundice.

There were many surgeries scheduled in the hepatobiliary department today. The medical specialist doctors all rushed to help with the gall bladder surgeries. None of them were willing to volunteer for a tapeworm surgery, because that was far too disgusting. Opening up the patient's body would always result in seeing a seething swarm of tapeworms. Those with helminthophobia would even faint. Not only that, tapeworm surgeries were highly difficult to complete fully as it was common for a few tapeworm eggs to remain in the patient's body, which meant that the patient would soon suffer from tapeworms again.

Zhao Jun was the primary surgeon for the tapeworm surgery, while Zhang Fan acted as his primary surgical assistant. This was Zhang Fan's first time ever working together with Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun opened an incision, stopped the patient's bleeding, then drained the blood. Zhang Fan's assistance made Zhao Jun have the most comfortable surgery he'd ever had. Zhang Fan provided excellent vision for him, and was always one step ahead and prepared for everything that Zhao Jun wanted to do. After Zhao Jun removed the liver capsule, Zhang Fan directly cleaned the lesion with medical alcohol.

The tapeworm surgery was now mostly complete. All that was left was to sew the surgical sutures. Zhao Jun wanted to see Zhang Fan's skills, so he said, ”General surgeries are quite different from orthopedic surgeries, aren't they? Are you familiar with how to sew the abdomen? Would you like to try sewing the sutures?”

Although Zhao Jun had heard rumors about how amazing Zhang Fan was in the orthopedic department, he had never personally witnessed Zhang Fan's skills for himself, so Zhao Jun wasn't that certain. That was why he wanted to ascertain Zhang Fan's skills. Zhang Fan glanced at Zhao Jun, and responded, ”Sure, Director Zhao. It should be no problem at all.”

Zhang Fan thus began sewing the surgical sutures. He was especially swift at sewing the peritoneum, fascia, and muscles. The nurse in charge of the operating room's medical equipment wasn't even able to keep up with threading. Zhang Fan was extremely well practiced regarding sewing surgical sutures, even to the point where he had ridiculous speed. He wasn't trying to intentionally show off; this was simply his usual speed.

Zhao Jun remained silent for a while as he watched Zhang Fan sewing surgical sutures. After some consideration, Zhao Jun spoke up again. ”Zhang Fan, you've been in our hepatobiliary department for one month now. How have you been with watching the surgeries? Are you familiar with how to do a gall bladder surgery now?” Zhao Jun viewed Zhang Fan as someone who was skilled for a resident doctor. To Zhao Jun, he was asking a normal question, and he even admired Zhang Fan's good foundations.

”Gall bladder surgeries are easy,” Zhang Fan stated directly. He had been incredibly bored and frustrated by this month with nothing to do, so he answered without even considering Zhao Jun's feelings.
