993 A Doctor’s Job (2/2)

”Isn't Doctor Ling the one who will be operating on me?” Pei Baoer was almost screaming.

”The anesthetist is here,” Wang Jia explained.

”Why are there so many anesthetists?” Pei Baoer curled up uneasily. ”How long do you guys plan to knock me out?”

”The rest of them are doctors who are here to observe the surgery,” Wang Jia explained with a smile. ”Doctors from many hospitals are interested in learning about Achilles tendon repair from Doctor Ling. This is why there are often people visiting the operating theater when he's working. You don't mind, do you?”

”Not really.” Pei Baoer looked around at the people in the room. She then craned her head and asked, ”How about Doctor Ling? When is he coming? Don't tell me that he'll only come over after I'm under anesthetics.”

”Doctor Ling will position you with the help of Doctor Su before Doctor Su administers anesthetics,” Wang Jia explained.

Pei Baoer immediately blushed, and various s*xual positions that she had seen on explicit images and porn videos immediately appeared in her mind.

*Swish.*

Ling Ran entered the operating theater.

All the doctors in the operating theater looked at him.

Ling Ran raised his hands and put on a pair of scrubs with the help of a nurse.

Ma Yanlin walked in after him. He tore open the plastic wrapping around a pair of scrubs and quickly put them on.

Pei Baoer could sense the tense atmosphere in the operating theater and merely looked anxiously at Ling Ran with yearning. Ling Ran was standing not far away from her, and she could basically smell his hormones in the air. It was as if the ventilating system of the operating theater was no longer working.

”Relax your body and lay on your stomach.” Ling Ran's voice rang out from beside her.

Pei Baoer immediately did as she said, and she kept screaming internally, 'Doctor Ling has such a pleasant voice! I hope he speaks more.'

Soon, Ling Ran's voice rang out again.

”Go ahead and administer anesthetics.”

Before Pei Baoer realized what was going on, she started losing consciousness.

”We're performing Achilles tendon repair surgery with a small incision today,” Ling Ran said calmly only after the patient lost her consciousness entirely.

Ma Yanlin, who was carrying out the preoperative preparations, froze. ”Aren't we using the Zhu-Ling Achilles Repair Technique?”

”Something similar, but I made some changes.” Ling Ran paused for a moment and continued, ”I had a discussion with Academician Zhu, and we came to the conclusion that open Achilles tendon repair surgery with a small incision could be quite valuable to some. For example, this patient of ours wants to continue dancing after the surgery. Her occupation and lifestyle mean that she needs a small scar. Hence, what she needs are a strong Achilles tendon and a smaller incision.”

Ling Ran explained things in detail, and the other people who were participating in the surgery naturally had no objection. Of course, since Ling Ran was the chief surgeon, all the other medical staff members would definitely go along with everything he said. If some other attending physician or senior resident doctor were the ones breaking the protocol that had been agreed upon, the other medical staff members would have cursed him to death.

After the surgery began, Ma Yanlin struck up a conversation with Ling Ran. ”Doctor Ling, did you specially modify the steps of this surgery because of this patient?”

”I guess so. If it goes well, we can continue promoting this new surgical method.”

”You didn't reveal anything about it beforehand at all. I thought that we would be using the normal Zhu-Ling Achilles Tendon Repair…”

”The surgery might not be successful with a small incision. If it fails, we'll have to expand the incision and go according to the original plan.” Ling Ran's voice was loud and clear.

Ma Yanlin immediately understood. ”I see. You did this so that the patient's expectation wouldn't be too high. But you did come out with the best solution for this young woman's plight…”

When Wang Jia heard what Ma Yanlin said, she could not help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart.

All the other doctors in the operating theater were touched too.

”Let's carry on with the surgery.” Ling Ran did not look at any of them, and he continued operating on the patient. ”The plan would only be considered successful if the surgery is completed smoothly.”

”So, you've indeed come out with the best solution for this young woman's plight.”

”Isn't this a doctor's job?” Again, Ling Ran spoke without raising his head. There was not even the slightest change in his tone of voice.
