"Doctor Ling, we will be recording the entire surgery today."
Ji Tianlu continued to be Ling Ran's assistant and gave him a reminder.
Standing in the operating theater, the part-time cameraman was a plump doctor who weighed 198 pounds. Beside him was a camera on a tripod. It was aimed at a plastic bag, which was the same treatment as a large microscope.
As usual, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center used an operating theater with a panoramic camera and a high-definition surgical field camera. The entire surgery was broadcasted simultaneously in the demonstration room. In order to record the surgery that might be used in the meeting, Zhu Tongyi also asked someone to add a normal camera to the operating theater to capture more angles.
The panoramic camera in the operating theater filmed from top to bottom, and there would always be some parts that were missed. Then, the resident doctors under him could choose an angle to film, and it would naturally be more comprehensive.
Ling Ran only raised his head and glanced at it before he hummed in acknowledgment. He did not say much.
The Achilles tendon repair surgery was a surgery he was very familiar with. Over the past two days, he had also gone through training with cadavers. It was not an exaggeration to say that Ling Ran himself felt that he had improved.
Because of this, Ling Ran deliberately came to the operating theater earlier today.
On one hand, he wanted to do a checkup, and on the other hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with the instruments.
"Get me a few finer Edison forceps." Ling Ran glanced at the instruments on the tray rack and added.
Edison forceps were used to clamp small tissues and skin. There were different specifications for the width of the scalp, and different doctors had different requirements. If there was no prior explanation, the nurses would only bring the normal ones.
For Ling Ran, the normal plastic forceps could still be used, but it was not that convenient. If he were to use a game analogy, the habits of different doctors when they faced different surgical methods were like the inscription habits of different players when they faced different heroes.
No matter how a beginner used it, he would fail, and no matter how an expert used it, he would succeed. However, there was still some difference between the ease of the process.
The nurses obediently responded and went to do the supplementary work.
Ling Ran looked at Yu Yuan again and asked, "How's the patient?"
His first assistant was Ji Tianlu, but as a chief physician, it was obvious that Ji Tianlu did not know how to take care of patients. It was already very doubtful whether he knew how to use the computerized medical record system. There was no doubt that a doctor's ability to learn continuously, but the degree to which a senior doctor's skills deteriorated was also shocking.
Although Yu Yuan was not the doctor in charge of today's patient, she had been a resident doctor for three years. She already knew what the chief surgeon was going to ask. She quickly said, "The patient is twenty-seven years old, a fencer, and a national champion … Achilles tendon is not completely ruptured. The chief complaint is … after the neighbor's husky pounced on him while he was walking his dog, his right Achilles tendon is in pain, and his movement is limited. The MRI scan confirmed that the patient's right Achilles tendon is ruptured …"
Ling Ran listened with a straight face, while Ji Tianlu laughed out loud.
"Did he really get pounced on by a husky and ruptured his Achilles tendon?" Ji Tianlu did not look sympathetic at all. His face was full of curiosity.
Yu Yuan knew that they were filming, so she acted like a 1.48-foot-tall junior high school student and said, "This is the patient's chief complaint."
"Has it been broken before? Do you have any old wounds? " Ji Tianlu was too curious. When he saw that Ling Ran, the chief surgeon, did not ask, he asked himself. After all, the patient had not arrived yet.
"There's no record of an Achilles tendon injury."
"In other words, this fencer is a national champion. You just said that he's twenty-seven years old, right? His Achilles tendon was fine for more than ten years, but it was ruptured by a dog? "
"It's a husky," Yu Yuan corrected him.
Ling Ran also coughed a few times in a very serious manner and said, "It was broken after he was pounced on by a dog."
Ji Tianlu glanced at Ling Ran from the corner of his eyes and said, "Doctor Ling, you also want to laugh, right? If you want to laugh, just laugh. "
Ling Ran faced Ji Tianlu with an expressionless face. Only when Ji Tianlu looked away did Ling Ran's lips twitch a few times, and it was completely captured by the camera.
The demonstration room was already filled with laughter, and at that moment, they laughed even harder.
There were even girls who screamed and commented.
"Doctor Ling smiled."
"So cute."
"Doctor Ling's smile is so sweet …"
"Ling Ran, all the best!"
The demonstration room was bustling with noise.
Doctor Qu, who secretly wore thermal underwear, still felt cold, laughed bitterly and said in a low voice, "You know that Ling Ran can't hear you, right?"
"Of course."
"What if our Prince Charming sees us being crazy?"
"We only dare to fool around when it's a live broadcast."
Doctor Qu thought of the fear in his heart when Ling Ran grabbed his neck. He could not help but shake his head and look at them with an innocent expression. 'You don't know the true face of a handsome man.'
The laughter stopped abruptly when the patient was sent into the operating theater.
Ji Tianlu was also embarrassed to continue laughing. He used his hand to wipe his tears and said, "I'll go and wash my hands."
Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment and asked the nurse to help him put on his surgical gown.
The patient shook his head and looked around. He felt a little guilty and joked, "This is my first time. Doctor, you have to be gentler."
"Don't be nervous. Doctor Ling's Achilles tendon repair technique is top-notch. The surgery he performed before was very similar to yours. The patient just won a bronze medal in the championship." Yu Yuan comforted the patient.
The patient smiled bitterly. "He used to win a medal in the National Games. This time, he won a bronze medal in the championship, right?"
"Of course not," Yu Yuan said. She did not know anything about sports, so she could not say anything else.
The patient laughed in a self-deprecating manner. "I've already planned to retire. If it really doesn't work, I'll just retire …"
"The Achilles tendon repair technique we're performing on you now is a riskier but effective Achilles tendon repair technique. It's mainly targeted at athletes and other occupations that have extremely high requirements for the quality of the Achilles tendon repair and the recovery time. If you're ready to retire, I suggest that you consider ordinary Achilles tendon repair technique, "Ling Ran suddenly said as he listened to the patient.
The patient was stunned. He thought for a long time before he sighed and said, "Let's go according to the original plan. I'm twenty-seven years old this year. Although I'm ready to retire, people will always have times when they're unwilling to give up. I just think …"
"Dalang, drink the medicine first." The anesthetist raised his small tool under Ling Ran's signal.
The patient tilted his head and fell asleep.
"Achilles tendon repair technique," Ling Ran reminded him, raised the scalpel, and made an incision.
As the first assistant, Ji Tianlu watched with wide eyes.
He had also seen the video Ling Ran performed before. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to take a good look.
Although he did not have a clear classification of skills in his mind, it was still easy to see if there was a huge improvement. Just like Ling Ran's performance in the video, it surprised Ji Tianlu.
The Legendary Level Achilles tendon repair technique was actually a little beyond Ji Tianlu's imagination.
Of course, Ling Ran was currently only at Perfect Level, but Perfect Level was still a skill that surpassed Ji Tianlu's level by a lot.
Going from Master Level to Perfect Level was not something that could be achieved simply by performing hundreds of surgeries.
Ji Tianlu looked at Ling Ran's Perfect Level operation as if he was looking at a Legendary Level, and he still felt fascinated.
In fact, Ling Ran's Perfect Level performance was already at the level of the top one hundred in the world.
If a doctor's surgical method was definitely among the top one hundred in the world, the treatment he would receive would be completely different. For example, among the participants in this international conference, there was not a single surgeon who could be ranked among the top one hundred in the world.
From the beginning, Ji Tianlu and Zhu Tongyi did not look at Ling Ran as if he was in the top one hundred.
However, if he was strong, they would think that he was strong.
It was not considered great if he was slightly stronger, but if they broadened their horizons, they would notice the gap. It was just like how the second place in many classes did not feel that there was a big gap between them and the first place, but if they looked at the whole year, they would see that the first place in the class was thirty to forty places away from the first place in the class. If they looked at the whole region, the second place in the class and the first place in the whole region were already hundreds of places away from each other. If they looked at the whole city, it would be a gap of more than a thousand places, and if they looked at the whole province, it would be a gap of more than ten thousand places.
The world of adults was far more complicated than the world of students.
The competition that young doctors faced was still the competition between their peers in the same hospital. When they became attending physicians, they would only come into contact with doctors outside the hospital. However, once they were promoted to associate chief physicians or chief physicians, they would face competition from all the doctors in the whole city and the whole province. If they were lucky and skilled, they could even face competition from all over the country.
The winners in the competition from all over the country, like Chief Physician Ji Tianlu, would occasionally think about the whole world.
Doctors in China actually rarely thought about the competition from all over the world. The medical expenses in China were already very low, and the income of patients was also lower than the average. Even if the medical conditions in other countries were better, patients would continue to stay in China for medical treatment due to economic reasons.
Doctor Ji Tianlu, under normal circumstances, would also not think about a doctor's skills, ranking, and standard in the world.
However, as the International Sports Orthopedics Academic Conference was organized, Ji Tianlu suddenly became sensitive to the word "international".
He subconsciously judged Ling Ran's standard based on the video information of a few international experts that he had watched not long ago.
In the end …
In the end, Ji Tianlu lost his confidence.
He shook his head and could not help but think, 'It's even harder to judge a surgeon's standard now. Ling Ran seems to be quite strong.'
"It's done. Let's change sides." Ling Ran put down the scissors and said to Ji Tianlu, "I'm going to the operating theater next door to perform another surgery."
Ji Tianlu panicked for a moment and quickly said, "I'll go with you."
This was a choice that went beyond the plan. According to the original plan, Ji Tianlu would perform one surgery to determine Ling Ran's current condition before he moved on to other things.
In fact, Ji Tianlu had to decide whether the video recording should be played during the conference.
As he made the judgment, Ji Tianlu suddenly lost his confidence. At this moment, he was not in the mood to do anything else.
He wanted to take a good look at Ling Ran's surgery.
Ling Ran did not mind. He handed the remaining trivial tasks to Yu Yuan and brought Ji Tianlu to the operating theater next door.
Ling Ran walked in front with a majestic gait and an imposing manner.
Ji Tianlu followed behind him. He frowned and lacked confidence.
