He Yuanzheng donned green scrubs. His weedly arms swung hard as he walked along the corridor in the Operating Area—like a lioness wandering about the land.

When he arrived at the area where the demonstration room was, He Yuanzheng only stopped for a second before he turned around and entered. He showed a serious face, but his eyes were shining with curiosity.

Just as he expected, the big screen in the demonstration room was turned on. Six to seven doctors who wore scrubs were watching the screen. Among them were resident doctors, housemen, and maybe some interns.

He Yuanzheng quietly walked to the corner of the room before he looked at the screen. He saw an ongoing hepatectomy performed on the right robe of the liver, which was something he was already incredibly familiar with.

He was naturally familiar with hepatectomy, and he was also somewhat familiar with hepatectomy performed on the right lobe of the liver. However, He Yuanzheng actually did not perform many cases of hepatectomy on the right lobe of the liver. Compared to hepatectomy performed on the left lobe of the liver, hepatectomy performed on the right lobe of the liver was more troublesome. When He Yuanzheng did preoperative assessment, he would be very careful when it came to this sort of surgery.

Before Ling Ran showed up, He Yuanzheng was the major department director for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Yun Hua Hospital. Other doctors looked for him if any problems occurred in the surgery, but if He Yuanzheng encountered any problems in the surgery, he could not go to anyone for help.

Perhaps the other surgeries in the General Surgery Department could wait for a while before they asked for help, but if a surgery like hepatectomy was not finished in a few hours, the patient would die because of massive bleeding.

Therefore, He Yuanzheng must consider carefully before he approached such difficult surgeries.

Ling Ran obviously did not have this kind of problem.

At least, Ling Ran did not have any problem in performing hepatectomy for the right lobe of the liver. Not only did he not have any problems for it, he could also operate very quickly.

He Yuanzheng also took a glance at the number of broadcasts at the bottom of the screen: 42.

Those forty-two broadcasts were all broadcasts that belonged within Yun Hua Hospital’s system. This number was naturally not comparable to the high-class surgeries that required detailed preparation, like Lloyd’s surgery in Anderson Cancer Center a few days ago, which had a number of broadcasts that far surpassed the current number.

However, He Yuanzheng knew that Lloyd from Anderson Cancer Center was watching Ling Ran’s surgery now.

For He Yuanzheng, who could be considered a senior expert of hepatobiliary surgery, it was still hard to find where Ling Ran was weaker in his current surgery compared to Lloyd’s surgery a few days ago…

Perhaps, not having a good title was Ling Ran’s weakest point. He Yuanzheng could not help thinking about it, and for some strange reason, he found it odd.

At this time, a young doctor who heard a sound from the back turned around and took a look.

He Yuanzheng showed a stern face and made a motion to make him keep silent, just like a dignified lioness warning a cub.

The young doctor stood straight nodded, and slowly turned around. His body was slightly stiff, but he became relaxed in a short time. He Yuanzheng was a department director, but he was not the department director for the young doctor, so he did not need to bother.

He Yuanzheng also noticed it.

There was only a young doctor from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery watching this surgery, and the rest were all the General Surgery Department to the Cardiovascular Surgery Department.

He Yuanzheng felt slightly resigned in the next second. There were not many young doctors under him. If he counted everyone, there were only four resident doctors and three housemen under him.

Housemen who came for only a short rotation might not work for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in the future. Besides, the four resident doctors were taking turns working at full capacity. They were so busy that they might not be able to finish their ward rounds, unlike departments like the Cardiovascular Surgery Department, who had plenty of free time.

In comparison, there were quite a number of attending physicians under He Yuanzheng. He had four people along with a mole, but attending physicians were always the busiest…

*Ring.*

In the screen, the phone rang and attracted He Yuanzheng’s gaze.

‘The scene of the circulating nurse picking up the phone is so familiar.’ When He Yuanzheng thought of this, he saw the circulating nurse hanging up the phone.

“The borders are clear,” the circulating nurse answered in a simple and firm way.

For the nurses in the Emergency Medical Center and the Department of Surgery in Yun Hua Hospital, they were already incredibly familiar with Ling Ran’s surgical needs.

In the operating theater, Ling Ran also nodded lightly and said, “Start the lymphadenectomy now.”

The nurses immediately adjusted the equipment, while the assistant doctors by the side instantly became relaxed.

Lymphadenectomy was a meticulous work, and it was also the key difficulty in cancer surgery. However, among surgeries of this caliber, lymphadenectomy was considered the easiest work.

If they were bold, careful, and serious, they could perform lymphadenectomy well. Naturally, they also needed a good grasp of anatomy.

For Zhang Anmin, Lu Wenbin, or Yu Yuan, this was not the problem.

And Ling Ran moved like fist in water. He could even have an easy performing lymphadenectomy in the brain with Perfect Level Lymphadenectomy, so it was more than easy to perform lymphadenectomy in the abdominal cavity.

While in the one-hundred-inch big screen, the four doctors on the screen who were there for the remote consultation showed serious faces.

“You cut along the boundaries of the cancer cells. How did you make the judgment?” Michelsen had too many doubts and questions. For Michelsen, who always performed cancer radical operations, Ling Ran’s judgment was extremely impressive!

Ling Ran’s brain did not feel that what Michelsen said was meaningful, therefore, he easily filtered out his words.

Michelsen waited for a while, but he did not receive any response. Then, he shouted urgently, “Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling Ran!”

“Hmm?” Ling Ran looked at Michelsen in boredom.

“Judgment. How did you judge the range of cancer cell infiltration?”

“I always perform surgeries like this.” Ling Ran pursed his lips. For high-end surgeons, a unique skill was something pretty normal. This was just like gynaecology doctors who had small hands. Doctors were actually particular about core competence as well.

This was especially true for this kind of situation. Even if hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons became high-end doctors, the competition between doctors, departments, and hospitals could still be seen everywhere. High-end doctors needed to try their best to create their sphere of influence before they could grab patients for themselves, their department, and even their hospital.

Even when it came to hepatectomy itself, there were doctors who performed abdominoscopy, some focused on laparotomy, some specialized in operating the left lobe of the liver, and some liked to cut the gallbladder together with the liver…

The continuous division among high-end doctors was because of the needs of scientific research and also because the competitive world of medicine required them to do so.

Doctors who became department directors or center directors had their own teams to lead. They were not only required to share their honor and disgrace together, they also shared benefits together. As the person in-charge of the signature treatment group, at this time, he needed to act like the boss of a small company. He needed to find a way that everyone felt satisfied with in order to maintain a corresponding level of morale before they continued developing.

Otherwise, they would break down.

Doctors in the United States faced a more complicated situation. Most doctors did not lead a team, but they were still their own boss. Therefore, Michelsen also understood Ling Ran’s condition very well.

He just felt slightly unhappy.

“Doctor Ling’s surgery is still different from what we normally know about hepatectomy.” Michelsen had been holding back his words for a long time, and he finally squeezed out these words from his throat.

“Hmm,” Ling Ran answered as if he did not care about what he said.

At this time, Yu Yuan heard what Michelsen said, and she suddenly came up with something on her mind before she said, “Doctor Michelsen, what you mean is Doctor Ling’s surgical method should be a pioneer in the world, right?”

“Hmm… in terms of method, I suppose you can say so.” Michelsen was slightly stunned.

“Does everyone else agree?” Yu Yuan’s expression became excited, as if she was attending a big international conference.

“I suppose so.”

“It does indeed feel that way.”

“A method that serves as a pioneer might not necessarily be a good method…”

The three doctors on the screen had different tones and contents, but they were all the same from Yu Yuan’s perspectives.

“Thank you for proving that Doctor Ling Ran created a world class method for hepatectomy!” Yu Yuan could not wait to announce her conclusion.

The operating theater instantly became silent.

A normal surgery was suddenly upgraded to be a pioneer, and it was indeed pretty unexpected.

They also did not know what to say.

Ten seconds.

Sixty seconds.

One hundred seconds.

Suddenly, the number of broadcasts on the bottom of the screen kept increasing.

Fifty broadcasts were surpassed very soon, and the number was increasing to sixty very quickly…
