GDLR - Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 68: Someday, With the Scalpel In My Hand

The following day.

It was the day of the surgery.

Lu Wenbin was the first one to enter the operating theater. He had completed all his tasks from draping to inspection when Ling Ran and Huo Congjun came.

Huo Congjun appeared poised.

Ling Ran appeared elegant.

Lu Wenbin was extremely stressed.

"The patient, Li Xingguo, is twenty-one years old. He has an open wound, and the flexor tendons of his index and middle fingers are ruptured. Both the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis of his middle finger are ruptured. It's rather complicated..." Since Lu Wenbin had read the information beforehand, he explained it to the others.

Ling Ran had read it too, so he pondered as he listened to what Lu Wenbin said. His expression could not be deciphered.

Huo Congjun exhaled. This was the only kind of patient he could find that day.

The location of the wound was known as no man's land, because the tendons in that area of the hand were too closely-packed. Both the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis were bound in narrow tendon sheaths. Adhesion was a serious postoperative problem, and it was not an ideal situation for the recovery of hand function.

Now, the fact that both the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis were injured meant that there was more activity in both of them, making the probability of adhesion even higher.

But all these were not a problem for Ling Ran.

For someone who possessed the Master Level M-Tang Technique, treating the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis at the same time was only a basic procedure.

Ling Ran checked everything according to sequence and palpated the wound a few times. He then nodded and said, "Let's get started. Repair of a ruptured flexor tendon in Zone II... Pen."

The moment Ling Ran stretched out his hand, the focused Wang Jia placed a surgical skin marker pen in his palm. She did it in a way that it was extremely comfortable for Ling Ran to receive the pen. She was most probably specially trained for this.

Wang Jia looked at Ling Ran. She could vaguely see a smile behind Ling Ran's mask, and it made her extremely happy.

Huo Congjun wanted to be the one making the incision. But he only thought about it; he did not voice his thoughts out in the end.

Higher-ranking doctors often rewarded the lower-ranking doctors by giving them a chance to make an incision. There was no reason for it to be the other way around.

Besides, Huo Congjun could not just help Ling Ran with the incision every single time. In the end, Ling Ran would have to practice making incisions by himself.

When Huo Congjun thought of that, he looked at Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin was the Emergency Department's resident doctor no matter what. Even though he did his housemanship in another hospital for about two to three years, he was just like a sheep that was let out from the farm to graze. When it was time for the sheep to be milked and sheared, it would have to return to the farm. Moreover, since Lu Wenbin just finished his housemanship, this was the golden period for him to elevate his skills...

Lu Wenbin's performance in the previous surgery was not bad.

After the surgery, he was also very diligent when it came to the patient's prognosis.

If Huo Congjun were truly the chief surgeon, and Ling Ran the first assistant, Huo Congjun would most probably choose to let Lu Wenbin make the incision. When he thought about it, no matter how badly Lu Wenbin was at the job, it could not be worse than the incision Ling Ran made during the previous surgery...
