191 Blood Vessel Laceration (2/2)

The consultation took half an hour. When Wang Haiyang was tired of speaking, he took a sip of tea and asked Ling Ran, ”Doctor Ling, do you have anything to add?”

Kong Xiangming and the other six doctors looked at Ling Ran in unison.

Yiyuan County Hospital's Department of Orthopedic Surgery was not as large as the one in Yun Hua Hospital, which had a few medical groups. The Department of Orthopedic Surgery had a total of seven doctors, and they were divided into two medical echelons. This was all of their medical power. Aside from Kong Xiangming, there were an associate chief physician, two attending physicians, and three resident doctors. They were usually divided based on their roles instead of into groups. This was actually a pretty healthy overall structure.

The group could not be considered to respect Ling Ran, but that did not mean that they did not respect Ling Ran as well; they just did not pay much attention to him.

Ling Ran took a gulp of water, cleared his throat, and said, ”I have a few things to add.”

Some of the young resident doctors almost burst out laughing on the spot. When these kinds of words which were usually used in meetings came out of the young and handsome Ling Ran's mouth, it sounded very odd no matter how they looked at it. Not only that, it actually sounded wrong.

Ling Ran continued, ”I believe that the patient's blood vessel is displaced. There are signs of laceration on the arcus venosus dorsalis manus[2]. During the surgery, we should make a small incision and resuture it.”

After he said that, Ling Ran lowered his head and drank a few gulps of tea.

However, Kong Xiangming and the others froze on the spot in astonishment. If they looked a little cuter, they would probably be meowing out loud like fascinated cats right now.

The arcus venosus dorsalis manus was not a specially important blood vessel in the context of finger replantation surgeries. You could choose whether to suture it or not, but how was he able to discern that that blood vessel was torn...?

”Doctor Ling, how did you discern the signs of laceration of the blood vessel through the films?” Kong Xiangming asked earnestly and seriously. The fact that Ling Ran was able to say those words, and had the guts to say them meant that his experience when it came to performing almost one hundred finger replantation surgeries was no joke.

Ling Ran rose and moved the MRI scan from the side to the middle. He then pointed at the middle of the arcus venosus dorsalis manus with his finger, and said, ”This part shows signs of laceration of the blood vessel. I reckon that it's damaged. I don't think that we need to make guesses when it comes to the exact degree of damage. As for the surgery plan, if we were to suture the arcus venosus dorsalis manus during the surgery, we can just make an incision and suture it. We can also choose not to suture it. We'll see whether time allows us to do that.”

Kong Xiangming and the others looked at one another. They were all speechless.

Even though Kong Xiangming was hungry for knowledge, he did not have the ability to learn right now. Neither he nor his subordinates knew how to read MRI scans. And this was not something that they could master with just a months of dedication.

At this moment, Kong Xiangming could only look at Wang Haiyang.

”Doctor Ling is also top-notch in our hospital when it comes to reading MRI scans. It so happens that his discovery doesn't affect our original plan. Let's bypass it if we come to use our backup plan as well.” Accidents of this magnitude were something very normal for him, and he was used to Ling Ran showing his extraordinary skills as well, since he had displayed them for a long time when they were in Yun Hua Hospital.

However, Kong Xiangming and the others were extremely impressed with Ling Ran. When they divided the roles for the surgery, Kong Xiangming took the initiative to give way and became the second assistant.

Wang Haiyang was extremely satisfied with this. Even though freelance surgeons were highly paid, they also had to bear high risks. No matter how fun preoperative consultations were, freelance surgeons always placed the most emphasis on the surgeries themselves. As long as they carried out the surgeries well, it would be to the satisfaction of all. If the surgeries went badly, serious problems would arise.

Wang Haiyang brought Ling Ran here so that he could draw on his abilities. He naturally did not want Ling Ran to become the second assistant.

As for whether Kong Xiangming and the others got to learn anything during the process of the surgery, it would depend on themselves.

Wang Haiyang glanced at his watch and reckoned that the teaching session had gone on long enough. ”It's almost time. Let's go and take a look at the patient, shall we?”

Kong Xiangming was also satisfied. He quickly rose and opened the door. ”I'll lead the way.”

The group went out one after another, and they immediately discovered that there were young nurses dressed in blue and red nurse uniforms lined up at the sides of the corridor. Some of them held trays, some held books, some pretended to be on the phone, but most of them did not even bother to hide their curious gazes.

Kong Xiangming wanted to say something, but when he saw that most of the nurses were not from his department, he wisely chose not to say anything.

The group from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery walked forward without saying a word.

The young nurses in the corridor also moved forward quietly.

Only the camera shutters could be heard in the quiet environment. The sound was clear and fascinating to all those who heard it.
