”A patient with three severed toes… tsk… it's basically like a celebratory gift…” Ma Yanlin said, and he inevitably paused for a moment, he whispered to Selena doubtfully, ”This man is not a gift from Miss Tian Qi to Doctor Ling, right?”

”How can Miss Tian Qi give a person as a gift?” Selena smiled, and in a flash, she thought of something and asked, ”By the way, I remember that in traditional Chinese culture, there is a dowry system for girls?”

”I have never heard of there being a system for dowry.” Ma Yanlin shook his head. ”You can call Doctor Ling to perform the surgery.”

The moment Selena heard the words ”Doctor Ling”, she could not be bothered to talk to Ma Yanlin anymore. She immediately went to get her walkie-talkie.

After fifteen minutes, Ling Ran was dressed neatly and walked into the operating theater.

After the construction of the passageway between Cuba Town and Guozheng Charity Hospital, the first thing they had to bear was the increase of a large number of patients.

The general practitioner in Cuba Town was inferior compared to other general practitioners. His ability to deal with diseases was not even comparable to Australian doctors. After all, Australian doctors could use Google proficiently, but the mother tongue of the general practitioner of Cuba Town was Portuguese.

The patients who had been ill or injured over the past few days received either anti-inflammatory pills, painkillers, antipyretics, or the most basic debridement. Of course, on the bright side, this general practitioner was a doctor, no matter what. Although his treatment level was poor, there was no big mistake done. For example, if Naldo's toes were not resolutely amputated, then it would be more difficult to replant it now.

Moreover, the preservation of the severed toes by the general practitioner was quite remarkable.

He wrapped the severed toes with clean gauze, then packed it in a plastic bag and sealed it tightly, then placed it in the only small refrigerator in the clinic. He kept the refrigerator at a constant low temperature. In the process of transportation, the severed toes were placed in an incubator to ensure the condition of the toes was good.

It could be said that severed toes like these still had a great probability of being replanted even after another twenty-four hours.

In fact, if Naldo were lucky, the severed toes could be stored for a week and still could be replanted successfully. In terms of prognosis, naturally, it could not be compared with severed toes that had only been stored for a day. It was very difficult to get a good result. However, it was not an easy feat to make sure the severed toes survived.

The best toe replantation needed to be done within twenty-four hours. Naldo's time had exceeded the ideal time, but with excellent preservation conditions, he could still get rather good results.

The key word being ”rather”.

”He needs to have bone atrophy.” Under the 10X microscope, Ling Ran observed Naldo's severed toe for a moment, looked at the severed end of the foot, shook his head slightly, and said, ”The tissue of the severed end should be completely removed from the lifeless and contaminated tissues. After that, hand me some of Andover's gauze and 10-0 nylon thread, then mark the blood vessels and nerves…”

Ling Ran had more issues to consider over here compared to when he was at Yun Hua Hospital's operating theater.

This meant that the difficulty of the surgery had increased dramatically.

Ma Yanlin, as an assistant, was also busy in the corner. In fact, the nurses' skills in the operating theater were not up to standard.

However, the imperfect surgery still needed to be carried out in the end.

At the end of the day, most surgeries were imperfect anyway, and that was just the world Ling Ran was familiar with.

”Clean this severed end.” Ma Yanlin was so busy that he broke out in sweat. When his sweat was wiped off roughly by a middle-aged part timer next to him, he felt as if his skin would fall off.

”Loosen the tourniquet,” Ling Ran commanded. When he noticed the active bleeding, he let out a sigh of relief. ”Fasten the tourniquet. Wipe my sweat.”

Selena only translated the parts concerning the tourniquet. She then picked up the gauze herself, then dabbed it gently and carefully against Ling Ran's forehead.
