"Mister Lloyd, should we start now?" Xu Jinyi looked at his watch. It was almost time, so he reminded Lloyd in English.
His English was passable. His grammar structure was basically a mess, but when he spoke to native speakers of English, they would be able to understand him.
Lloyd smiled and nodded, but he said, "Yes, we can do it after watching this surgery."
Xu Jinyi raised his eyebrows. 'How long do we have to watch the surgery?'
Xu Jinyi secretly shook his head. Ever since he got sick, he had reestablished the concept of time. At this time, he could not help but urge Lloyd again, "This surgery will take one or two hours. Why don't we do the surgery first? After that, I'll ask someone to record the highlights or the complete video for you to watch."
"Hmm … The other party is doing a live broadcast, and we're doing a live broadcast as well. Are we trying to steal the viewership ratings?" Lloyd said and laughed. "I'm afraid that I won't be able to steal the viewership ratings."
Xu Jinyi smiled. "You're a surgeon from Anderson Cancer Center. Although Doctor Ling is also very good, he can't be compared to you. Moreover, I've already said that our audience is mainly a few famous hospitals in Beijing, the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of some affiliated hospitals, and the General Surgery Department. There's no conflict between them …"
Lloyd did not answer Xu Jinyi's words. Instead, he asked curiously, "Do you know this doctor? He's performing the surgery. "
The HD camera installed by Yunli Medical Company did not have a panoramic view by default. The screen in Donghuang Regional Hospital only showed the scene of the surgery. The camera only showed the surgical field, and the chief surgeon's face could not be seen.
However, Xu Jinyi could guess the content just by looking at the operation of the surgery. He pulled up his shirt without hesitation and said, "My surgery was performed by Doctor Ling from Yun Hua Hospital. Doctor Ling is relatively young, but his skill level is really good … "
"Yes, I remember now. The prognosis of your surgery is very good." Lloyd nodded continuously.
In the Anderson Cancer Center, Xu Jinyi was able to get to know Lloyd. In other words, the reason why Lloyd noticed Xu Jinyi was that, apart from Xu Jinyi's years of bootlicking skills, Lloyd's surgical traces were rather attractive.
In a place like the Anderson Cancer Center, surgeries and internal medicine could naturally be done at the same time. However, it was inevitable that there would be patients from all over the world with different physical conditions and medical backgrounds. Among them, there were many patients who had undergone surgery before they came for post-treatment. After all, the threshold for entry into the United States was getting higher and higher, and most cancer patients didn't want to waste time waiting.
Correspondingly, Lloyd and the others would perform a preliminary examination and evaluation on patients like Xu Jinyi who had undergone surgery in advance.
Among them, many patients' cancer cells were not completely removed.
It was not surprising that the incision was not clean. Even in hospitals in the United States, there were good and bad surgeons.
Half of Lloyd's time was spent dealing with patients who should have been cut clean, but failed to do so. In the remaining time, he had to spend half of his time evaluating the patients who could not be cut cleanly.
Radical surgeries that could safely cut cleanly were extremely rare.
In fact, from Lloyd's point of view, after Xu Jinyi's surgery was completed, he did not really need any further treatment. The prognosis was so good that Lloyd initially did not even believe that Xu Jinyi was here for treatment.
Xu Jinyi knew that, and he was even a little proud of his own judgment, so he smiled faintly. "In a few years, when Doctor Ling completes his surgery, your viewership ratings might not be higher than his. However, your surgery today is about to start. … "
"I don't want to perform surgery at the same time as him." Lloyd pointed at the screen and shook his head. "We'll do it later."
"If that's the case, alright." Xu Jinyi originally wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
Just like what Lloyd said, at the end of the day, everyone wanted to fight for viewership ratings. Although the viewership ratings were not something that anyone cared about, if someone compared it to someone else, it might cause some people to feel awkward.
Xu Jinyi felt that it was not good to make Ling Ran feel awkward, but there was no point in making Lloyd feel awkward.
"Go and inform them that we'll delay the surgery by two hours," Xu Jinyi said to his subordinates and went outside to explain to the patient's family.
This was the advantage of live broadcasts with low viewership ratings. They could call each audience member and tell them that the program would change its schedule.
The patient and the patient's family members were also very easy to talk to. The patient had not been anesthetized yet, so it was fine to wait a little longer. On the other hand, according to the patient's family members, it was very normal for foreign doctors to adapt to the environment when they came to China.
After Xu Jinyi comforted the patient and the patient's family members, he came back slowly and saw a group of people in the operating theater looking ahead with tense expressions.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jinyi was curious.
"He's blocking the portal vein," a doctor answered in a low voice.
Xu Jinyi hummed in acknowledgment. He did not think much of it.
He was also someone who had seen Ling Ran's surgery, so he naturally knew how skilled Ling Ran was in these surgeries. Xu Jinyi did not care about just blocking the portal vein.
But Lloyd pitied Xu Jinyi, so he explained on behalf of him, "The patient has a compensatory side chain circulation."
"There's an extra vein?" Xu Jinyi's back was instantly filled with a series of medical malpractice certificates.
Lloyd hummed in acknowledgment. "The patient's vein is rather thin. Your Doctor Ling is very cautious, and he stopped immediately."
Lloyd, who had blond hair and blue eyes, gestured a little when he said that. He was really shocked by the surgery in front of him.
Xu Jinyi's level was much lower. He continued to ask, "After he stopped, he found an extra vein?"
"It's not that easy." Lloyd said and shook his head. "This Doctor Ling thought about it for at least two to three minutes before he started to look for the extra vein."
"He determined that there's a vein with a side chain circulation in the first round of judgment …" Xu Jinyi muttered to himself, and he still could not believe it.
"The condition of the liver is very bad. Look at how your doctor performs the surgery. He's very careful. I don't know how bad it is … "
The more Lloyd spoke, the more eager he became. Compared to watching the surgery live, the video in the demonstration room was becoming more and more of an obstacle.
While he spoke, Ling Ran had already completed the preliminary preparations for the liver surgery. He slowly lifted the liver with his hand, and the moment he touched the hilt of the scalpel, it was broken in half on the spot.
Soft, flat liver flukes were wriggling inside the exposed honeycomb-shaped liver.
The patient's fragile liver structure was clearly displayed, and it made Lloyd widen his eyes.
"I want to go to Yun Hua." Lloyd turned his head and quickly made his request.
