Ling Ran raised his hand and swiped the air above the operating table. He used less than one minute on the Virtual Human to glance at Xu Jinyi's liver.

He mainly wanted to observe if the patient's cancer cells had expanded again.

This was actually against the preparation he did for the promotion, but from Ling Ran's perspective, promotion was promotion. It would be strange if he put aside the skill he had just to try out a new technique.

Ling Ran was already very familiar with Xu Jinyi's liver condition.

Right then, when he took a look at it again, there were not many changes.

”Let's start.” Ling Ran glanced at the monitor beside him and gave a reminder.

The few assistants quickly stood at their positions seriously. Even if he was the attending physician from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University, he also did not put on airs. He was like a police dog with a muzzle. He straightened his back and showed his professional attitude.

From the standard of the General Surgery Department in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University, the surgery today was a piece of cake, but it was not always that easy to perform any surgery well.

The young attending physician who was sent out by Department Director Li Yuan did not want to be the scapegoat for the failed surgery, therefore, if anyone was the most nervous in the operating theater aside from the patient Xu Jinyi, who did not receive full anesthetics, it must be this young attending physician.

”Scalpel.” Ling Ran stretched out his hand and touched the handle of the scalpel handed to him.

The scrub nurse by the side puffed out her chest, raised her head, and also looked professional.

Different doctors had different habits when performing surgery. Scrub nurses not only needed to remember the surgical procedure, most of the time, they also needed to remember the doctors' habits.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this was a process that happened step-by-step. When a scrub nurse coordinated with a few doctors multiple times, she would remember the surgical procedure. The more times they cooperated with the doctor, the more familiar they would be with the doctors' habits.

However, there was no such condition in the operating theater of the hospital today. To ensure that the surgery process could be followed, this young girl who graduated with a Master of Nursing had memorized the surgical method for two days and also watched videos of Ling Ran's surgeries for tens of hours.

She even adopted the standing position that accommodated Ling Ran's surgical habits.

And the effects were also outstanding. At the beginning of the surgery, Ling Ran slowed down his speed, but when he realized that the scrub nurse could keep up with him, Ling Ran kept speeding up.

”He's performing the surgery so fast.”

”He's so good.”

”The young men nowadays are so damn annoying.”

The doctors of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University also entered the visitation room and discussed the surgery without holding back.

Department Director Li Yuan also clasped his hands behind his back and watched Ling Ran's operation with a serious face.

He acknowledged the fact that Ling Ran could perform the surgery well. In fact, when a doctor was among the top in the nation, it was meaningless to point out their flaws in their surgical skills. Doctors at this level just handled the direction of the surgery differently.

Some doctors were obsessed with bleeding control and pursued bloodless operating fields, so much so that they would keep taking care of all intraoperative bleeding problems. Some doctors liked to cut a bigger surface area and suture carefully, while some doctors pursued speed and abandoned certain degrees of precision…

However, no matter which type a doctor belonged to, the patient or patient's family could only choose the type of surgery that they were willing to accept, but they could not ask the doctor to do everything according to their expectations.

A doctor's personal style also needed to be formed gradually through ten to twenty years of training and application of skills.

Forcefully requesting the doctor to change his style could never get what the patient wanted.

Meanwhile, any of the personal styles doctors might have was actually enough to handle Xu Jinyi's early slash intermediate hepatic carcinoma hepatectomy. Its outcome was probably not decided by the patient as well.

”I heard that Department Director Xu chose his own chief surgeon?” An assistant lecturer from the hospital walked close to Li Yuan and asked in a low voice.

”Yep,” Li Yuan answered.
