209 Spoon Fed So Much He Is Stuffed (1/2)

”Deal with the thread.”

Doctor Qu did not say anything, but Ling Ran had already coiled the thread and placed it by the side.

”Make it moist.”

Right when Doctor Qu finished speaking, Ling Ran had already asked for saline solution.

”Carry out the aspi...”

Doctor Qu did not finish his sentence, but Ling Ran had already drawn out the fluid.

Doctor Qu had just cut open the skin, treated the subcutaneous tissue, and then did the necessary protection needed for the mesentery, small blind vein, the sural nerve, and the other parts. He felt… extremely comfortable, but also awkward. His body was comfortable, but he felt awkward in his heart.

Once he thought carefully about the surgery, Old Qu noticed that he had not scolded anyone since the beginning of surgery.

The operation was done too smoothly, to the point that Doctor Qu did not even think about scolding anyone.

Basically, right when Doctor Qu thought of doing something, before he could make his request, Ling Ran was already several steps ahead of him.

Such a surgery could only be said to be extremely comfortable.

As an ordinary surgeon, Doctor Qu never once thought that surgeries could be done in such a comfortable manner.

This was exactly like a person delivering the food you wanted to eat to your lips when you wanted to grab some food.

Although the surgery was done smoothly, Doctor Qu did not feel happy.

What he pursued was not a smooth operation.

What he pursued were surgeries that were challenging, and him being able to overcome them by himself bit by bit. He pursued surgeries that would give him a sense of accomplishment.

Doctor Qu was only forty years old this year, was bald, and ambitious. He was different from Wang Haiyang.

Wang Haiyang was old and frail, and his favorite thing was being spoon fed. Wang Haiyang could always keep on performing surgeries and enjoy being endlessly spoon fed.

Doctor Qu hoped for a surgery that was at least a little difficult to chew.

In today's surgery, he even looked forward to watching Ling Ran make a small mistake.

A senior doctor's authority towards junior doctors was based on mistakes done by the juniors.

A doctor's qualifications were not what others cared about the most in operating theaters. Perhaps the qualifications and identity of a department director would make everyone feel a little wary and make them a little uncertain of their movements. However, while the department director could scold anyone anytime he wanted to, any doctor who wanted to scold others must find a suitable opportunity to do so.

When a junior doctor made a mistake, it was a good opportunity for the senior doctor to scold him and vent his anger.

But what if the junior doctor did not make a mistake throughout the whole operation? That meant that the authority of the senior doctor was non-existent. Perhaps, both of them were already on the same level. Their skill levels might even be reversed.

If there were no gap between their skill levels, and the surgeon did not have control over the surgery and the operating theater, how could the senior doctor show his seniority?

He could not just act unreasonably and rudely, right?

Although surgeons had aggressive temperaments, there were basically none who were unreasonable and rude.

Doctor Qu raised his head and cast a glance at Ling Ran. He opened his mouth and said, ”It's time to suture.”

”Okay.” Ling Ran's eyes never left the lens of the two-head microscope. He held the forceps in his hand with a posture that suggested he was ready to grab the Achilles tendon at any moment.

When Doctor Qu looked at him, he frowned. Indeed, his next step was to suture the Achilles tendon, and he planned to use a method that will strengthen the tensile strength of the suture, so he needed an assistant to bring out the Achilles tendon attached to slightly atrophied muscles.

Doctor Qu was sure that as soon as he started to work, Ling Ran would begin pinching the Achilles tendon, because the steps to strengthen the tensile strength of the threads were as such.

So, would there be no need to strengthen the tensile strength of the stitches?

An idea flashed in Doctor Qu's mind, but he vetoed it in an instant.

Although he could indeed use another suture method to suture the Achilles tendon, the sudden change of plans during the surgery required a series of other changes to other things, and Doctor Qu was more worried that he would be confused himself.

There were many ways to repair the Achilles tendon. None of them were too complicated to describe in words, but it was not so simple to implement and execute any of them on a living person, even though they were certain whether he or she was alive.

To put it in the perspective of a math problem, this situation would be like how there were four solutions to the mathematics of Orsay, but no matter how many times the teacher taught all four solutions, most people can only master one or two solutions.

Doctor Qu had originally mastered two kinds of Achilles tendon repair techniques, the simple end-to-end repair technique and the repair technique that aimed to strengthen the Achilles tendon. The latter was already the complicated form of the former, so if Doctor Qu were to perform an even more difficult surgery on the spot...

His mind was not so vulnerable that he would do something so stupid to show his worth.

”Take out the Achilles tendon.” Doctor Qu sighed in his heart and watched Ling Ran bring out the Achilles tendon in only a second.

The corner of Doctor Qu's eyes twitched, and he began to suture without a word.

He used the modified Kessler method, which was the most commonly used tendon suture method used by doctors in the Hand Surgery Department of Yun Hua Hospital.

The Achilles tendon was still a tendon, and the Achilles tendon was the sturdiest of all tendons in the human body. Therefore, it was enough to use the more common tendon suture method on the Achilles tendon. Meanwhile, the M-Tang technique which Ling Ran was familiar with would not show any of its advantages on this super-thick and super-strong tendon.

Ling Ran silently watched Doctor Qu's operation and gave real-time assistance according to his speed and progress.

He now had the Perfect Level of Achilles Repair Technique in his possession, and it naturally included the complete version of the modified Kessler method in the skill. In fact, there was no need for Ling Ran to wait for the system to give such a basic tendon repair skill to him, he could just practice it a little and master it.

It was even easier for him now because he did not need to use the technique as the chief surgeon.

The pressure and responsibility of a first assistant were much lower than the chief surgeon. Ling Ran had ample time to observe and understand Doctor's Qu operating habits, think about his operating purpose, and sort out the sequence of his operation.
