1032 Turned Black (2/2)

”Really?” The crew member was pleasantly surprised. The rest of the crew members could not help but breathe a sigh of relief too.

”Really,” Ling Ran confirmed.

”Then… is there anything he needs to do to deal with it? Does he still need to go to the hospital at the harbor?” one of the crew members who was also in the waiting room asked. Tian Qi and her assistant, who arrived later than Ling Ran, also looked over in curiosity.

Ling Ran thought about it for a while and said, ”To deal with it, you can try washing it with soap first. If it doesn't work, you can try washing it with gasoline or alcohol… As I don't know what the colorant is, you might need to try a few methods.”

”What do you mean?” The crew members did not understand what was going on.

Ling Ran explained things in another way. ”The black thing on your finger is just colorant, and you just need to wash it off. There's nothing else that you need to do.”

”Colorant? I'm not injured?”

”No.”

The crew member anxiously said, ”But I still feel a bit of pain when I press these fingers. They feel different than my other fingers.”

”It's because the colorant is corrosive. This is why you're feeling a slight burning sensation which amplifies when you touch it.” Ling Ran paused for a moment and said, ”It would have hurt a lot more if you were injured.”

The crew member's fingers trembled a few times.

The people around him also smiled, and all of their smiles meant something different.

”Okay, let's go back.” Ling Ran rubbed his belly. He decided to return to the hospital to take a look. This patient whose fingers were only dyed with colorant was not enough to satisfy him.

Tian Qi covered her mouth as she smiled. ”I'll send you back, then.”

…..

Most of the doctors at the Emergency Medical Center had already gotten off work.

Lu Wenbin, Ma Yanlin, and Zuo Cidian were still in the hospital, though.

Now that Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin finally had the chance to act as chief surgeons, they treasured it very much. They were unwilling to let go of any opportunity.

In tertiary Grade A hospitals nowadays, attending physicians definitely had so many opportunities to perform surgeries that they could barely finish it. However, it was extremely hard for resident doctors to get a chance to act as chief surgeons. Many young doctors who had just started working in the hospital had to wait for a long time for such an opportunity. Sometimes, even after their girlfriends broke up with them, their s*x dolls were damaged from overuse, and they had to get a new large white coat because their old one was dirty, many of them would still not get the chance to act as chief surgeon.

That was also the fate of many doctors working at the Emergency Medical Center. If it were not for the fact that Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin were part of the Ling Treatment Group, they probably would have had to continue acting as the first assistant for a year or two before they could act as a chief surgeon in so many surgeries.

By that time, Lu Wenbin would be an attending physician already.

Even Zuo Cidian was extremely envious right now.

Of course, he did not go home not because he wanted to participate in surgeries. It was mainly because his house was empty and quiet, and there was nothing he could do at home.

”Whoo!!”

A cacophony of cheers rang out from the operating theater's corridor.

”Doctor Ling's here.” Even though Zuo Cidian was inside the operating theater and he could not hear what the people out there were shouting about, he could tell what was happening from the noise and the cheers.

Soon, the door of the operating theater was opened.

”Doctor Ling.”

”Doctor Ling!”

All the medical staff members who were operating on the patient greeted Ling Ran.

The patient, who had received brachial plexus anesthesia, turned to look at Ling Ran in curiosity. Right after that, he sucked in a sharp breath.

The tired anesthetist raised his gaze and realized that the figures in the monitor were skyrocketing. He was calm as he educated himself about the situation. 'It's okay. The patient is a guy. I'll just wait for him to calm down.'

”Is the surgery going smoothly?” Ling Ran walked over to the chief surgeon.

”Finger replantation surgery. It's going quite smoothly so far. The patient is a thirty-seven-year-old carpenter,” Lu Wenbin gave Ling Ran a brief introduction.

Ling Ran nodded when he heard that and took a look without disturbing Lu Wenbin. He then turned and said to Zuo Cidian, ”I've read the records you sent me when I was in the car just now. Lu Wenbin was carrying out M-Tang surgery at that time, and Chief Physician Tao and a few other people were watching him?”

”Yes,” Zuo Cidian replied, ”I specially invited Chief Physician Tao over.”

”Was there anything special about the surgery compared with when other doctors were watching?”

”I guess Chief Physician Tao is more talkative,” Lu Wenbin answered.

Zuo Cidian agreed. ”Indeed. Chief Physician Tao even explained things to the medical interns and the doctors who were doing their in-service training. He said that Doctor Lu is good at M-Tang Surgery and that he is one of the best at it in the hospital. Young Lu was smiling from ear to ear.”

Lu Wenbin cleared his throat a few times. ”Chief Physician Tao is good with words.”

”I know, right? There are only two types of surgeons who are good with words: those who aren't good at surgery and those who are retiring soon…” Zuo Cidian said meaningfully.

Ling Ran nodded when he heard that. ”If that's the case, do invite Chief Physician Tao to watch Ma Yanlin operate.”

”Chief Physician Tao explains things pretty well during surgeries.” Zuo Cidian knew what Ling Ran was implying. ”Since he's good with words, we'll let him talk more.”
