Chapter 751: Focus

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The assistants whispered among themselves, while the patient and the onlookers arduously kept up a conversation. However, Ling Ran who was the chief surgeon did not utter a single word as he operated on Tian Guozheng.

If he were operating on Tian Guozheng in Yun Hua Hospital, Ling Ran would only need an assistant who would be operating the arthroscope to execute the surgery. This was also why he brought Yu Yuan and Ma Yanlin to Brazil. Lu Wenbin and Zhang Anmin were more skilled compared to them, and while Ling Ran was not around, they could operate on more patients. This way, they could gain more experience while filling up the hospital beds that became empty after patients got discharged.

Of course, it would be impossible for them to fill up all the hospital beds. But by the time there were a lot of empty hospital beds, Ling Ran should be back in Yun Hua Hospital already.

Overall, Ling Ran was very relaxed and at ease.

As the patient, Tian Guozheng was tremendously nervous. His butler was also very nervous, and even the doctors who were standing around the operating table and watching the surgery were feeling the stress. However, Ling Ran was not the kind of person who got affected by the atmosphere around him.

The atmosphere around Ling Ran was often weird. For unknown reasons, the people around him would be anxious, stressed, shy, or experience other emotions. Hence, Ling Ran had long since avoided analyzing the thought processes of those around him. Not only were they disorderly, but they were also illogical.

It had always been Ling Ran’s habit to focus on his own tasks.

As long as he carried out his own tasks well, all the problems around him would be solved automatically. This had always been the way Ling Ran functioned, and today was no exception.

In reality, as the surgery progressed, the attitude of the people around Ling Ran changed too.

Yu Yuan and Ma Yanlin who were acting as assistants have come to realize that the progress of the surgery would not be affected by the patient’s anxiety or the cameras around them. Hence, they became more focused. Department Director Li, Wallace, and the other doctors watching the surgery saw that Ling Ran had no desire to engage in conversation at all and was fully focused on the surgery. Moreover, they could not help but focus on the operating table when they saw that the surgery was progressing without a hitch.

The random onlookers in the operating theater, including Brandon, who was uploading images and videos to the internet, were swept along by Ling Ran’s momentum. The way Ling Ran was focused on the surgery had affected them and changed the way they thought, and they focused on the surgery as well.

Brandon, who was holding the camera, started talking about the surgery itself. “Arthroscopy is a type of keyhole surgery. An incision that functions as the keyhole is made on the knee, and the arthroscope which functions as the key is inserted into the incision. It’s just like opening a lock with a key. Of course, the difference between opening a lock and performing arthroscopy is that arthroscopy involves plenty of tools…”

Next to Brandon, the butler said nonchalantly, “Opening a lock requires a lot of tools too…”

Brandon paused for a moment and said, “The difference between arthroscopy and opening a lock is that during arthroscopy, we can see what’s going on inside the knee joint on the screen through the use of an endoscope.”

“You can do the same when opening a lock too. You can see what’s going on inside the keyhole on the screen…” The butler continued arguing about this based entirely on the standpoint of an outsider.

Brandon hummed in acknowledgment and said slowly as he looked at the butler, “Which is why I said that arthroscopy is a type of keyhole surgery.”

The butler gave him a thumbs up.

“In conclusion, the good thing about arthroscopy is that it inflicts a small amount of pain, there’s low chances of infection, and the recovery time is short. You guys shouldn’t underestimate these benefits. When it comes to orthopedic surgery, infection is a very serious problem. Most complications that occur as a result of orthopedic surgeries are caused by infection. The advent of arthroscopy lowers the risk of infection and makes things a lot better for patients.” Brandon explained things without going in-depth.

He had uploaded a few hundred videos to YouTube and already knew how the viewers were like. Hence, he would not go in-depth when talking about medical stuff.

When Tian Guozheng, who was receiving surgery, heard what Brandon said, he became a little calmer.

His English was pretty good. Not only could he understand what Brandon was saying, but he was also able to detect the hidden meaning behind Brandon’s words. He could feel that the surgery was going pretty well, and his entire being relaxed.

Soon, Ling Ran shifted his gaze away from the screen.

Tian Guozheng, who had been paying close attention to Ling Ran, became anxious again. He fixed his gaze on Ling Ran as he wanted to know what Ling Ran was about to do.

The butler smiled and said, “Mister Guozheng, it’s normal even for thieves who are opening safe deposit boxes to take a short break.”

Tian Guozheng grunted and asked, “Does my knee look like a safe deposit box to you?”

“Your knee is more precious than a safe deposit box.” The butler bowed a little.

Tian Guozheng flashed a satisfied smile.

This was when Ling Ran nodded and said, “The surgery is almost over. Ma Yanlin, I’ll leave the rest up to you.”

Ling Ran habitually stepped aside and made way for Ma Yanlin.

“Wait a moment!” Tian Guozheng shouted. He continued, “Doctor Ling, you should finish what you started. I don’t feel comfortable with someone else operating on me.”

Ling Ran hesitated for a moment. Many patients had made similar requests to him. However, most of them would only ask him to finish off the surgery. They would not talk about how they were not comfortable with someone else operating on them. After all, ordinary patients would not want to offend any doctor, even if the doctor was only a junior doctor like Ma Yanlin.

However, in this case, Ma Yanlin did not dare to offend a patient like Tian Guozheng. He quickly said, “Doctor Ling, why don’t you do it instead? I’m worried that my hands would tremble.

“Why would your hands tremble?” Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows. Shaky hands was a major problem for doctors.

When Ma Yanlin saw Ling Ran’s solemn expression, he quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just thinking about how after we traveled all the way to Brazil, Mister Guozheng treated us to a feast of tremendously delicious beef. Doctor Ling, why don’t you close the incision for Mister Guozheng? You’re better at suturing, and the stitches would look nicer.”

Ling Ran glanced at the growing hair on Tian Guozheng’s shaved leg and said, “If you guys don’t want to do it, I’ll close the incision. But with the patient’s condition right now, the stitches would not look nice no matter what.”

After Ling Ran finished speaking, he examined the patient’s knee joint and aspirated the fluid out of the patient’s joint cavity. He then took a needle holder and started closing the incision.

Yu Yuan, who was standing beside Ling Ran, reminded him. “Doctor Ling, the patient is under local anesthesia.”

“I know,” Ling Ran replied. He then turned and asked, “Did I say something wrong just now?”

Yu Yuan stayed silent for a few seconds before she answered, “It’s true that you didn’t really watch your words.”

Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment. He then thought about what he had said for a moment and added, “By closing the incision, I can at most make sure that the patient’s knee looks like how it used to. But the patient’s knee doesn’t look nice, to begin with…”

“Doctor Ling,” Yu Yuan cut Ling Ran off. “Why don’t we focus on the surgery?”

“Sure.” Ling Ran lowered his head. He attached a surgical thread to the needle holder and made a knot.

Tian Guozheng experienced conflicting emotions after he heard what Ling Ran said. He wanted to refute Ling Ran’s statement, but when he raised his head and saw how Ling Ran looked like as he focused on the surgery, he could not help but sigh and say, “Doctor Ling looks really handsome.”

Everyone in the operating theater nodded in unison.

After Ling Ran finished closing the incision, he stepped aside again and said, “You guys will be applying the surgical dressing and bandaging the incision.”

Yu Yuan and Ma Yanlin did not say no this time. They quickly stepped forward and got to work.

Tian Guozheng grunted in slight displeasure, and the butler quickly asked, “Doctor Ling, why are you stopping again?”

Yu Yuan replied on Ling Ran’s behalf, “You’ve watched documentaries where lions eat the meat of their prey, haven’t you? But have you seen lions licking the bones of their prey clean? Bandaging is akin to licking the bones clean.”

“So… this means that you’re vultures?” Tian Guozheng nodded in understanding.

Yu Yuan parted her mouth a little. She wanted to retort, but she suddenly realized that what the other party was saying made a lot of sense.
