Felix held his head high when he walked out of the operating theater.
His surgery went very smoothly. His full concentration, ample preparation, and good luck allowed him to experience the smoothest surgery he had in the past few months.
Felix believed that he was invincible in this state. If he did not have this confidence, he would not have been able to become a cardiac surgeon.
In Felix's opinion, even if Ling Ran's surgical skills were great, it was impossible for him to perform every surgery so smoothly. Among the three surgeries he performed at the same time, it would be his limit if he could perform one surgery as smoothly as he did.
Therefore, after Felix took off his equipment, he went to the bathroom to take a shower without looking back.
He had to get rid of the stinky sweat on his body and then accept Ling Ran's compliments and surrender in a refreshing manner.
At this moment, he was like the incarnation of George Clooney. He would not turn around to watch the explosion, and would only show his heroic side when a beautiful woman jumped into his arms …
"Doctor Felix."
Felix unexpectedly ran into Ling Ran at the entrance of the bathroom.
Ling Ran, who had just taken a shower, looked fresher and more handsome.
Ling Ran seemed to be in a good mood. He greeted Felix when he saw him, and did not seem to be in a hurry to perform surgery.
Felix was also in a good mood. He greeted Ling Ran and said "hi". Then, he froze before he stepped into the shower.
What the hell?
Why was Ling Ran here? And he had already taken a shower?
Did he lie to me?
This was the first answer that came to Felix's mind.
He immediately recalled the time when he was in university. A few of them had agreed to go to the morgue for supper. In the end, the bravest kid was locked in the morgue, and the cowardly kid laughed at him outside the door.
When he thought of this, Felix became furious. He turned around and found Ling Ran. He reprimanded him, "This is a surgery! It's not a game played by the Brotherhood! "
"I don't understand." Ling Ran glanced at Felix and continued to walk forward. There were always people around him who would say strange things. Ling Ran had tried to answer them before, but he would usually only get more strange answers. By now, Ling Ran was basically immune to these kinds of words. If he did not understand, he would just say that he did not understand. A normal person would probably repeat himself. If he did not repeat himself, he was either a fool, or he was saying something stupid, so he did not need to bother with him anymore.
Felix's brain short-circuited for a moment, but he quickly reconnected. His small and medium-sized blood-pumping organ, which he prided himself as a big heart, expanded and contracted rapidly. His eyes lit up in an instant. He changed his tone and spoke in English, "Why are you here? What about your surgery? "
"I'm done." Ling Ran did not need to keep Felix in suspense. He looked at Felix calmly, and a story about Premier Zhou, which was told to him by his third-grade teacher in elementary school, suddenly flashed in his mind. So, he stood still, lowered his hands, and politely asked in English, "What about your surgery?"
Felix felt sarcastic, but he wasn't quite sure.
Felix pursed his lips before he took a deep breath and said, "I've just completed the surgery. It took one hour and 25 minutes."
He was talking about the surgery time, which did not include the preparation before and after the chest fitting. However, this speed was still far faster than the general literature report.
Ling Ran nodded when he heard that and praised, "Well done."
However, to Felix, this tone sounded like a condescending compliment.
Felix could not be blamed for thinking this way, because Ling Ran himself had this kind of attitude.
When Ling Ran invited Felix and the others through Academician Di, he went for the Cleveland Heart Center. On the other hand, Ling Ran was not very confident in his skills in cardiac bypass surgery.
Things were different now. After performing surgery on Department Director Huo, Ling Ran's spirit and skills had been upgraded. In addition, his original skill level was higher than Felix and the others, so when he looked at them, he naturally felt a little condescending.
Moreover, Ling Ran had interacted with Felix and the others more than once or twice. He now knew that he had the ability to give Felix and the others a certain amount of guidance. Therefore, it was not a problem for him to say "very good" to them with the attitude of a master.
However, Felix's emotions were not balanced. He could not help but feel a little angry. He thought to himself, 'By the heavens and the earth as my witness, I, Nar W. Felix, am also a respected person in North America. Why should I be lectured by a little Asian doctor?'
Felix took a deep breath and looked at Ling Ran. He deliberated over his words and prepared to teach him a good lesson.
At this moment, Ling Ran seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Felix and said, "The treatment speed of your anterior descending arteries is a little slow. Based on the situation at that time, we can use Professor Carter's technique …"
Felix, who was already preparing for battle, was instantly stunned.
'It sounds … kind of reasonable.'
Felix, who had not had time to take a shower, rubbed his body anxiously. He felt that he rubbed something, but he also felt that he did not rub anything out. It was just like the thoughts in his mind, it was faintly discernible.
"Professor Carter's method … can indeed be used, but … but …" Felix could not say the words he wanted to say for a moment.
Ling Ran said calmly, "Be confident. It's worth the risk. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything."
Reality was not a game. Not every gamble was proportional to the risk and reward. Similarly, there would always be some low-risk but high-reward plans that would appear on a doctor's list of choices.
There were many reasons why Felix did not choose, but it was not wrong. It was normal for him not to choose the best plan when he was in the middle of a surgery. It was just like speculating in stocks. One could not always buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point.
…
However, he was now in the review stage, so he naturally had to strive for perfection.
Felix pondered for a moment and looked at Ling Ran suspiciously. He said, "Can you think of this when you're performing the surgery?"
"It's just a hypothetical situation. There's no need to think about it." Ling Ran did not answer directly.
"You think you can think of it, right?" Felix was very familiar with surgeons. When it came to fighting for attention, they could even throw away their pride.
Ling Ran, however, thought about it seriously again before he tilted his head and said, "I can only be sure when I actually encounter it … Yes, I'm sure I can think of it."
Felix was speechless. He wanted to object, but he did not know where to start.
"Doctor Ling Ran's surgery … How long did it take?" Felix changed the topic and asked.
"One hour and ten minutes."
Felix counted with his fingers and felt that the inside story was not simple. But he did not know where to start.
"You did a good job." Ling Ran praised Felix again to keep him in a good mood.
Felix's mood was terrible. It was the kind of terrible feeling one would feel when one owed an online loan.
