System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Tendon suturing, muscle suturing, Lu Cheng completed them not slowly, and with better quality, which Tong Yuan’an naturally acknowledged.

Of course, Tong Yuan’an had seen Lu Cheng’s ’vegetable’ days, so Tong Yuan’an didn’t find anything pretentious about Lu Cheng doing so well.

Having witnessed Lu Cheng’s journey, he better understood the exaggerated speed of Lu Cheng’s growth.

After finishing the soft tissue muscle suturing, the next critical procedure was the vascular suturing.

The arterial and venous diameter in a forearm amputation is quite thick, much larger than that in a finger amputation.

In hand surgery, some skilled professors even joke that apart from finger artery and vein anastomoses needing microsurgical instruments, forearm and above limb replantation can be done without them.

This truly tests a person’s actual skill level.

This is naturally a joke.

The essence of human civilization is that humans can flexibly use various tools, not abandon more useful tools, unconditionally demanding their potential.

...

In terms of vascular suturing, Lu Cheng’s operation was standard, not something Tong Yuan’an found incomprehensible. Instead, Tong Yuan’an noticed many areas in Lu Cheng’s vascular suturing that could be improved.

This is Tong Yuan’an’s major technique, the confidence to surpass his peers, not something Lu Cheng can easily surpass.

However, in nerve suturing, Tong Yuan’an could only smile silently.

This is the real ”technique” Lu Cheng learned from the advanced training class at Union Hospital, the basic principle being similar, a combination of fascial and epineural suturing. But in the specific operation mode.

Because Tong Yuan’an didn’t carefully ask Lu Cheng about the specific details, he couldn’t comprehend it well.

Tong Yuan’an could only be sure that Huazhong Union Hospital’s hand surgery is extremely skilled in nerve suturing.

Nerve suturing and handling nerve-related issues can be said to be a feature and hallmark of Huazhong Union Hospital, famous nationwide.

Even though Xiangya Hospital’s hand surgery strength should not be underestimated, it doesn’t have such a landmark ’mountain top’!

In this calculation, Tong Yuan’an felt completely numbed.

Glancing at the surgery timing panel.

[16:02:32:14] Two minutes past four in the afternoon.

[03:45:54:32] Surgery duration, three hours and forty-five minutes.

The remaining suturing of subcutaneous tissue and skin will take at most half an hour, meaning Lu Cheng can finish the surgery around four-thirty.

And the quality will be very good.

The concerns Tong Yuan’an guessed at prior have happened without surprise.

This teacher can only teach loneliness in front of Lu Cheng.

The remaining subcutaneous and skin suturing, Lu Cheng handed over to Tian Zhuang.

Tian Zhuang wasn’t suspicious about anything else, honestly starting the routine operation by the book.

Lu Cheng, while cutting thread, said to Tong Yuan’an, ”Teacher Tong, can today’s surgery be counted as limb replantation?”

The overall charge for limb replantation surgery is higher than the breakdown charge.

Lu Cheng isn’t someone noble, having labored without getting the rightful reward.

If unable to operate, that’s unavoidable, but if someone can operate on the stage, then the charge should still be collected.

Tong Yuan’an’s chubby face twitched for a while, but due to the mask, it wouldn’t be discovered by Lu Cheng.

A slight nod, ”Hmm...”

Tong Yuan’an cherished words like gold.

Lu Cheng continued, ”Teacher Tong, I’ll be on duty at the emergency room tonight, won’t have much time tonight, arrange your dinner yourself later.”

Chen Song is still in Long County, but the others don’t know this, and Chen Song also doesn’t want to be bothered with calls during his leave, so he asked Lu Cheng and others not to publicize this matter.

He’s applying for leave for research at Xiangya Hospital, unrelated to going to the countryside.

Surgery in Long County is not his task.

”Hmm... okay.” Tong Yuan’an replied with comparatively luxurious two words.

Lu Cheng: ”???”

What’s up with Tong Yuan’an?

Honestly, Lu Cheng prefers the joking Tong Yuan’an rather than the ’Meow Star’ Tong Yuan’an Chen Song has become.

Tong Yuan’an ended the topic, and Lu Cheng forced awkward conversation for over ten sentences but couldn’t open a new topic, so he stopped talking.

Clearly, Tong Yuan’an doesn’t want to chat now.

The surgery ended methodically, with the patient under nerve block anesthesia, directly transferred from the operation room to the observation ward.

Lu Cheng, after getting off the surgery, went to the emergency department observation ward’s doctor office to write postoperative orders and surgical records.

Main surgeon: Tong Yuan’an, First Assistant: Lu Cheng Attending Physician, Second Assistant: Tian Zhuang Attending Physician. Proposed surgery: Limb Replantation Surgery. Practical surgery: Limb Replantation Surgery...

Long County, Chen Mansion’s firewood chicken.

The not-so-good mood Chen Song sat listlessly, hands behind him, slightly tilted a glance towards Fatty Tong as he came in, without speaking.

Raising his chin slightly, his brightly shining forehead reflected light that pierced into Tong Yuan’an’s eyes.

After entering, Tong Yuan’an sat down heavily at Chen Song’s left, hands clasped, his muscular arms bulged like hills.

After sitting for a while, Tong Yuan’an raised his broad right hand, rubbing his left face’s beard, with no intention to speak.

Chen Song glanced at Tong Yuan’an, sneering, ”Did your vocal cords get cut today?”

Can’t you tell I’m not in a good mood?

Tong Yuan’an’s eyes drifted halfway towards Chen Song, rotated half a body, closed his eyes.

Deep breaths made his broad chest muscles rise and fall, the sound of breathing slightly heavy, still without reply...
