Very soon, Yu Yuan and Lu Wenbin arrived to assist Ling Ran. Just as they did during their training, they soon took over the task from Ling Ran.

Ling Ran exercised his limbs a little and prepared to enter the operating theater.

Huo Congjun nodded a little when he saw how well all of them worked together.

In the Emergency Department, CPR was something that needed to be carried out all the time, and most doctors were pretty skilled at it. However, groups that were able to work so well together were quite hard to come by.

After the defibrillator was used a second time, the patient's cardiac rhythm returned.

Lu Wenbin and Yu Yuan moved away from the gurney. They looked like they were reluctant to stop.

They were only resident doctors, and this was the first time they had carried out CPR so smoothly. Moreover, it was a group effort.

”You're a pretty good team leader.” Huo Congjun became even more satisfied with Ling Ran. He then looked at the preparation work that was ongoing in the operating theater and said, ”Bring more bags of blood over. Take an X-ray of his injured arm. See what's inside…”

Huo Congjun watched as everyone carried out their tasks. He only went before the operating table after all the preparation work was done, and said, ”Exploratory laparotomy. Carry out bleeding control first. Pass me the scalpel.”

*Slap.*

A scrub nurse placed the scalpel on Huo Congjun's palm.

”Where do you guys reckon the blood is coming from?” Huo Congjun suddenly asked.

Unlike Ling Ran, Huo Congjun had been working in the operating theater for years. He could be likened to the ”lion king” who ordered the other lions around, led his pride on hunting expeditions, and went hunting alone. Aside from that, he also guarded his territory and entertained himself using the young lions.

The young lions were very willing to entertain the ”lion king” too.

Zuo Liangcai immediately said, ”Ruptured spleen.”

Among all the organs, the spleen had the highest probability of sustaining trauma. Therefore, even a clueless doctor had a fifty percent probability of getting the answer right.

”Liver.” Another young doctor joined the discussion.

”Ling Ran, what do you think?” Huo Congjun looked at Ling Ran.

”It's probably the liver.” Ling Ran made the same judgement.

”Not bad.” Huo Congjun nodded with a smile. ”Ling Ran is right. Based on the patient's current condition, if he were experiencing splenorrhagia, he probably would not have been able to stay alive until now. Hmm... let's carry out an exploratory laparotomy now and take a look at the exact situation…”

The moment he said that, all the medical staff focused their attention on the patient.

Of course, the chest of the young doctor who said the correct answer before Ling Ran was raging with all kinds of emotions. However, no one had time to pay him any attention.

”Ling Ran, what's the surgical method for hepatic trauma?” Huo Congjun directed the question at Ling Ran.

When senior doctors threw questions at junior doctors in the operating theater, it was could be said to be both pedagogic and entertaining. Most junior attending physicians, resident doctors, housemen, and medical interns lived in fear of it every day.

Hence, this was considered one of the driving forces for doctors to study more.

If doctors were unable to answer the senior doctors' questions or came out with unsatisfactory answers, the senior doctors would roar at them in fury.

Ling Ran was already very used to senior doctors throwing questions at him. He simply answered, ”The surgical method for hepatic trauma should include debridement and bleeding control of the trauma. Usually, incision would be made on the right hypochondrium on the rectus abdominis or on the epigastric region…”

A direction was needed to perform exploratory laparotomy too, hence it was important to choose the right place to make the incision.

Huo Congjun was extremely satisfied as he listened to Ling Ran's answer. He advised the other doctors, ”You guys should learn from Ling Ran. Not only does he perform well in the operating theater and is well-trained in various surgical methods, but he also increases his theoretical knowledge of medicine.'

The young doctor from earlier was standing in a corner, and he could not help but mutter, ”We'd be able to come up with the correct answer too if you were to ask us the same question.”

Huo Congjun heard that. He immediately raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him. ”All right, then. I'll ask you a question. What's your name again? Tell me, let's say the patient really sustained hepatic trauma, which part of the liver do you reckon is injured, and how long and deep do you think the wound would be?”

The young doctor widened his eyes in shock. 'You may as well ask me how much the patient's spleen weighs.'

Of course, it was a must for junior doctors to answer senior doctors' questions. The young doctor had no choice but to say meekly, ”I reckon that it might be the middle lobe…”

”Nonsense. We wouldn't be able to tell anything based on the information we have right now. As the saying goes, 'It is wiser to admit that you don't know something.'” Huo Congjun automatically went into rebuking mode. It only took him a few seconds to make everyone in the operating theater more alert.
