526 Ordinary (1/2)
Chief Physician Wang Haiyang was debriding the patient's wound along with Yu Yuan, while Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin partnered up to debride the patient's ring finger, which sustained the least serious injury.
Meanwhile, Ling Ran, along with two medical interns, Xiang Xueming and Zhengjun were debriding Shi Qiang's thumb. They were getting prepared to carry out finger replantation surgery. Guan Fei had no choice but to stand on the sidelines and watch on.
Based on Ling Ran's usual speed, Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin would probably only be done debriding the patient's ring finger by the time Ling Ran had debrided and was almost done replanting the patient's thumb.
Debridement for severed fingers had to be carried out extremely carefully. It was very normal for ordinary doctors to take thirty or forty minutes to separate the necrotized blood vessel tissues.
Things were naturally not so complicated for Ling Ran. There was no need for him to deliberately speed up either. All he had to do was to follow the procedure without stopping. As long as his maneuvers were accurate and in the right order, speed naturally followed.
It was just like putting together ready-to-assemble furniture. Those who knew how to do it merely needed to follow the steps, and even though they would not seem like they were doing it at lightning speed, they were always able to assemble a large piece of furniture within half an hour to an hour. As for those who did not know how to do it, or those who were not so skilled, they would often be stuck at one of the steps for a long time. They might also assemble it wrongly and end up having to dismantle the furniture and doing it all over again. In the end, they might even take ten times longer than those who knew how to do it to assemble a piece of furniture.

It was also the same when it came to surgeries, especially in the orthopedics field. Orthopedists were often known as carpenters, and those who engaged in microsurgeries were highly regarded. It required a lot of skill and physical strength, and beginners often had a very hard time with it.
Lu Wenbin had been practicing M-Tang surgery for over a year and even became the chief surgeon of an M-Tang surgery a while back. He had also grasped most of the basics when it came to finger replantation surgery. Even so, he had to put in a lot of effort to prevent damaging the patient's blood vessels.
Xiang Xueming stole a glance at Lu Wenbin. He was a little envious of Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin, who was also a medical school graduate, was only three years older than him. However, as Lu Wenbin was working in Yun Hua Hospital, he was at a very advantageous position compared to Xiang Xueming.
Moreover, Lu Wenbin was under Ling Ran's guidance.
Xiang Xueming could also be said to be under Ling Ran's guidance right now. This was exactly why he was envious of Lu Wenbin, as Lu Wenbin was a long-term recipient of Ling Ran's guidance.
Even though Ling Ran was a man of few words, because he was extremely skillful, he knew how to allocate just the right amount of work to his assistants. As his assistant, a person would neither feel bored nor find things too difficult. Most of the time, the tasks allocated would match the assistants' capabilities perfectly. Every now and then, though, things would get a little challenging. However, after completing those tasks, those assistants would experience the thrill of being a doctor. They would feel like they were useful indeed.
Xiang Xueming truly wished that this could go on forever.
He finally knew why Ling Ran was always surrounded by so many people back in university even though Ling Ran always acted indifferently. Whenever Ling Ran went, people would always crowd around him.
Xiang Xueming used to think that it was because people in his university were superficial, and they were that way due to Ling Ran's looks. However, now that he thought about it, Ling Ran was a born star.
”Doctor Xiang, please don't swing the other way.” Guan Fei was not a person who knew how to hold her tongue. As she was the only one in the operating theater who had nothing to do, she naturally spent all her time observing Ling Ran.
This was why she noticed Xiang Xueming's gaze.
Guan Fei was very careful when it came to this.
Xiang Xueming came from the same university as Ling Ran, and Guan Fei was extremely worried that he would utilize this connection.
Xiang Xueming, who was being a little cautious, immediately became embarrassed and anxious when he heard what Guan Fei said.
”What? What are you even saying?” At that moment, Xiang Xueming did not know how to respond.
”I'm talking about the pair of forceps you are holding. What were you thinking?” Guan Fei started giggling.
The two nurses in the operating theater also laughed out loud.
Xiang Xueming got even more embarrassed. ”We are in the middle of an operation.”
”It's true that you shouldn't swing your forceps the other way during an operation.” Wang Haiyang chose to join in the conversation at the perfect moment.
He liked it when the atmosphere in the operating theater was lively. Since people were hyping things up, he felt obligated to join in.
Everyone in the operating theater laughed even louder.
Xiang Xueming sighed in resignation.
”Apply some saline.” Ling Ran totally ignored the conversation.
Xiang Xueming immediately shifted his attention back to the surgery.
After he was done with the task, everyone had forgotten about the conversation they were having just now.
Xiang Xueming suddenly felt a little emotional. He could not help but ask Ling Ran, ”Doctor Ling, you seem like you don't really care about what other people say or do?”
”Eh, isn't it the same for everyone? There's no time to care about other things when we're working on something.” As Ling Ran answered Xiang Xueming's question, he did not slow down at all.
Xiang Xueming chuckled a few times. ”I don't think many people are like this.”
Ling Ran was immersed in the surgery once again, and he did not bother processing what Xiang Xueming was saying since his words had nothing to do with the surgery.
