361 Suture Epidermis (2/2)

As a result, when he faced the medical interns Department Director Huo assigned to him, the only thing Ling Ran could do was immediately assign them a task.

Meanwhile, the three medical interns were rather dumbfounded.

They had been interning for almost a year, and it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

”Can I suture it however I want to?” Xiang Xueming was the first one to come back to his senses. He heard the phrase ”follow me into the operating theater as my assistant” very clearly.

Regardless of what Ling Ran's actual position in Yun Hua Hospital was, Xiang Xueming knew that the group leaders of treatment groups had a lot of authority when it came to operations. There would never be a lack of ordinary patients in a tertiary Grade A hospital like Yun Hua Hospital. The only thing medical interns needed was for those doctors to give them the chance to participate in surgeries.

Xiang Xueming immediately lowered his head and started to choose a grapefruit.

Grapefruit that were supple with smooth skin were suitable for suturing. The reason was the skin of dried-out grapefruit would become crumbly and possibly fall apart the moment you pull the surgical thread with force. However, it was also hard to suture grapefruit with skin that was too thick, especially if you want to suture it beautifully because that meant they had to control the thickness of the thread. If the skin was thick, you would need to exert a lot of force to pull the thread, and that might cause the surgical thread to cut through the grapefruit's skin.

Xiang Xueming chose the grapefruit with the most elasticity and smooth skin because it would be the easiest to suture. It was also of moderate size, so his workload would not be too high.

Even though Zheng Jun and Guan Fei were one step behind Xiang Xueming, both of them were not picky. Each of them chose a grapefruit that was somehow suitable for suturing from the remaining selection.

Xiang Xueming had no time to care about what the other two were doing. He retrieved a surgical thread and started to work hard.

Even though he did not know Ling Ran well, he knew one thing; while Ling Ran did not like to talk, he was a reliable person. Since he had promised to give one of them the chance to participate in an operation, he would definitely not go back on his word.

Ling Ran did not have the intention of explaining things either. He went back to his office table and began to write his research paper.

His paper was basically done. It was just a little too long, and he needed to edit it to make it shorter.

Zheng Jun and Guan Fei returned to their senses too. They quickly found somewhere to sit down and started to suture their grapefruit.

For a time, the tapping of the keyboard and needles poking through grapefruit skin were the only sounds heard in the office.

After a while, Guan Fei quietly raised her head.

Ling Ran was sitting under the sunlight. His back was straight, and his gaze was fixed on the computer screen in front of him. The golden sunlight shone on him, and it was as if a cluster of brightly-colored flowers had bloomed on his body.

Guan Fei inhaled blissfully, as though she was inhaling the sunlight into her belly.

”I'm done.” Xiang Xueming leaped up as if he was afraid that someone might beat him to it.

”All right,” Ling Ran replied and continued to work.

Xiang Xueming sat back down and felt a little uneasy.

A few minutes later, Zheng Jun finally finished suturing his grapefruit. He raised his hand meekly to report to Ling Ran that he was done.

Ling Ran nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. It did not look like he had any intention of coming over and inspecting the grapefruit.

Now that the other two were done, Guan Fei had no choice but to speed up.

Compared with Xiang Xueming and Zheng Jun, it was obvious that Guan Fei had not spent much time honing her suturing skills. She was inclined toward internal medicine, and she never cared much about her surgical skills to begin with. Aside from that, it was also because she would rather spend her time on other things.

”Doctor Ling, I'm done!” The time Guan Fei spent on suturing her grapefruit was as long as the time spent by the other two combined. However, when she was done, she was even more excited than the other two combined.

”Coming.” Ling Ran wrote the conclusion to his research paper before he went over to inspect the three grapefruit.

From an aesthetic point of view, Xiang Xueming's grapefruit was obviously the ugliest. This was because he added a few more stitches while he was waiting for the others. Comparatively, Zheng Jun's grapefruit was the lowest in terms of the degree of completion. Even though he took a shorter time than Guan Fei, his work was a lot cruder.

”Xiang Xueming did the best job. Go ahead and change into scrubs, then wash your hands. Have you entered the operating theater before?” Ling Ran quickly made his decision.

Xiang Xueming nodded nonstop and said, ”I've carried out epidermal sutures twice.”

”All right.” Ling Ran then turned and said to Zheng Jun, ”Peel the skins of all the grapefruit and send them over to the nurses' station. After that, you and Guan Fei can go to Yu Yuan so that she can tell you guys about the standard precautions.”

After Ling Ran said that, he went straight to the operating theater with Xiang Xueming.

Meanwhile, Guan Fei leaped in joy. When she saw how baffled Zheng Jun was, she giggled. ”Doctor Ling remembered my name.”

Zheng Jun was so exasperated that he felt like laughing. ”I remember your name too.”

”Please forget it.” Guan Fei flipped her hair. She then turned to have her back facing Zheng Jun and started using her phone.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
