Ma Yanlin had been working under Ling Ran longer than Zuo Cidian.

Since the earliest days of Ling Ran's M-Tang Technique, Ma Yan had already been the assistant. Later on, he also performed more than a few hundred cases of Achilles tendon repairs and finger replantations.

Compared to the frequency of a normal doctor, the surgeries that Ma Yanlin performed were more than the total surgeries performed by a resident doctor.

However, the only disadvantage of Ma Yanlin was his status as a houseman. Unlike Ling Ran, who was supported by Department Director Huo, Ma Yanlin was just a normal doctor, and he was also a normal houseman who was an authorized personnel at the Orthopedics Department. If he wanted to learn from Ling Ran in the Emergency Department for the long term, it would be very troublesome.

In current tertiary Grade A hospitals, there were usually more housemen and interns than officially hired doctors, thus it greatly reduced components that could allow the housemen and interns to learn, but a large number of housemen and interns made up the free labor components. Hospitals like Yun Hua Hospital had accumulated more than thousands of interns and housemen. Most of them were just purely housemen and unauthorized interns.

Under this situation, it was very hard for Ma Yanlin to obtain a chance to perform surgery independently. Even when he was with Ling Ran, he barely got the chance. In comparison, Lu Wenbin had started to work with Ling Ran at the same time as him, but he could already perform the M-Tang Technique independently, even though it was an even harder surgery.

The only advantage Ma Yanlin had was that he was younger than the other people in the team. However, his young age was not as apparent, as he was not as young as Ling Ran.

But today, after learning by himself for a month, Ma Yanlin followed Ling Ran to perform surgery once again, and he was performing the finger replantation that he was incredibly familiar with. This made Ma Yanlin feel that it was a breakthrough for him.

When he was performing debridement for Bramble, since he was too familiar with it, Ma Yanlin started to imagine in his mind and kept thinking, 'What would I do if I am the chief surgeon?'

When Chief Surgeon Ling Ran started to perform the surgery, Ma Yanlin started to look at Ling Ran's operation and realized that some of the main steps were quite similar to what he had thought. His confidence went through the roof. He felt that his skills had attained new heights while he tied the knots for Ling Ran.

From Ling Ran's perspective, Ma Yanlin's skills had indeed matured.

According to the notification from the system, Ma Yanlin's finger replantation skill was upgraded from Novice Level to Specialist Level.

Specialist!

It might sound like it was only a level higher than Novice Level, but in terms of competition, he had defeated more than 99% of other doctors.

In a hospital like Yun Hua Hospital, it was considered quite good for a senior attending physician to master a Specialist Level skill. Many attending physicians who were promoted after years of experience could hardly master a Specialist Level skill even if they had worked for four to five years.

This was nothing out of the ordinary. Some children would definitely get 90 marks for the first midterm test, while some children would never catch a whiff of 90 marks in any test in their entire lives.

There were many imperfect doctors, but there were also many lousy doctors.

No matter what, if a doctor mastered a Specialist Level skill, they could survive well.

However, a surgery like finger replantation was not valued in public general hospitals. However, the medical field and medical skills had never relied on being highly valued to exist.

Human's fingers could be severed, so finger replantations were needed.

Even if the hospital and society cared about heart replantation, it would be useless if there were no hearts around, and when someone severed their fingers, they only needed a doctor who knew how to perform finger replantation and not doctors who mastered other skills.

Ling Ran raised his head and looked at Ma Yanlin before he asked, ”Do you want to try becoming the chief surgeon and perform finger replantation?”

”Huh, can I?” Ma Yanlin became excited. He was too tired after accompanying his wife for a week.

”I can let you handle it,” Ling Ran said, went to wash his hands and bathed, and opened the Intermediate Treasure Chest.

In the shining blue light, Ling Ran saw a notification. [Virtual Human: An additional four hours.]

”Not too bad.” Ling Ran sighed in relief. He had guessed that he might get a Virtual Human.

There were too many usages for Virtual Humans. As long as it was not simply wasted, one minute of the Virtual Human could promise a good life for a patient for the next year. For those difficult medical cases, the use of Virtual Human for five to ten minutes could extend the patient's life for five to ten years, and he could even promise a better quality of life.

As a doctor, Ling Ran still liked this system very much.

Besides, the Virtual Human could also be used in the research field.
