Chapter 1098: Chapter 890 Who Is Swimming Naked_2

"Yes, don’t worry, we can handle it!"

Little Five too refused to be left behind, deciding to join Zhang Lin and really give it their all.

Even Li Guodong was itching to try, hoping to make a good impression at this critical time.

With the eldest and the second senior brothers now lecturing in Europe, and so young to stand on a world-class stage in front of spinal surgeons from all over the world, Li Guodong made a firm resolution to work hard and aspire to achieve the same, learning from his two senior brothers.

Yang Ping was browsing through the case files on the computer, and faced with their self-recommendation, he pointed to the computer and said:

"That’s great; there’s a patient from Southeast Asia right here—a vertebral tumor. They sought us out after many hospitals dared not take the case. Arrange the surgery for them, and do a complete resection of the vertebral tumor using my no-leak resection technique. You’ve followed a lot of surgeries and done quite a few animal experiments, and under the guidance of more senior doctors, you’ve handled some cases too. You should be able to handle this, right?"

Little Five and Zhang Lin were thrilled; this was an opportunity to leapfrog social classes!

"No problem, rest assured! Leave it to us."

The two slapped their chests with great confidence.

"Then you will perform this patient’s surgery, and I will observe from below," Yang Ping said earnestly.

"Also, this patient with scoliosis who can’t tolerate long-term treatment with an external fixation frame needs traditional osteotomy for correction. Leave that to you as well. Let me see, what other surgeries are there these days? There’s a coronary bypass, radical surgery for pancreatic cancer, correction of upper cervical cranial base deformity—let’s leave all these to you. You need to hold up the fort," Yang Ping said casually.

Zhang Lin and Little Five immediately felt immense pressure, their foreheads sweating; these were top-tier surgeries.

Ordinary surgeries could never showcase one’s level; to shine, one must undertake such technically demanding surgeries—the heavens were about to place a great responsibility upon these men.

The brothers clasped hands tightly, encouraging each other. Whether they could transcend their current status would depend on their performance in the coming days.

Maybe with a strong performance, they could lead their own team in the future. When Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were leading teams, they were attending physicians, who were only promoted to deputy chief physicians later on.

Now that they themselves had been promoted to attending physicians, it was the golden time to make achievements. Since ancient times, heroes emerge from the young!

Suddenly, a lofty and bold spirit burst forth from the chests of Zhang Lin and Little Five.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Yang Ping decided to let them experience it on their own, even if they couldn’t perform the surgery when the time came. They could experience making decisions as the primary responsible persons, knowing there was a safety net with him around.

"Professor, are you really entrusting this to us?" Little Five was somewhat incredulous.

Yang Ping nodded, "Really; you should also do some things independently. The surgeries you usually perform as chief surgeon are either relatively less difficult, or under the guidance of Dr. Song and Dr. Xu. The surgeries of these patients are indeed challenging; it’s a good test of your abilities."

"Right! When the tide goes out, you find out who’s been swimming naked!" Zhang Lin nodded gravely.

"Don’t worry, it definitely won’t be us swimming naked," Little Five also nodded.

Xia Shu, Dr. Jin, and Dr. Wen, standing nearby, could hardly believe their ears. Could these two dummies really perform these kinds of surgeries?

Since Xia Shu wasn’t originally from Sanbo Hospital, she might not have been as shocked, but Dr. Jin and Dr. Wen, who were formerly from orthopedics, didn’t yet know what sort of characters Zhang Lin and Little Five were. They were just on good terms with Yang Ping and had clung to his coattails. When the department was first established, they followed Yang Ping over. Frankly, these two lads were nothing but Yang Ping’s lackeys.

Zhang Lin in the hospital was known for his big mouth, bragging everywhere every day; as for Little Five, well, due to his sweet talk, good looks, and nimble handling of matters, plus having married a rich and beautiful wife, was seen by everyone as a pretty boy—one who managed to get a free ride because of his looks.

Ignoring the shocked expressions of the others, the two got straight down to work.

"Guodong, bring over all these patients’ films, so we can thoroughly analyze the illnesses and thoughtfully establish the surgery plans," said Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin was extremely serious, not at all pretentious, and he could sense the unusual looks from the people around him; he didn’t care about that at all.

"Bring the case records, too. Have the lab results been attached?" Little Five instructed Li Guodong.

Usually, they were split into two groups, with Zhang Lin following Xu Zhiliang and Little Five following Song Zimo. If they were to separate now and each fight on their own, their strength would be clearly insufficient, so the two decided to join forces, twist into a single rope, discuss everything together, and conduct the surgeries together as well.

Everyone was serious. The cart with the medical records was immediately wheeled over, and the X-ray films were brought over in bag after bag.

Seeing the seriousness of the two, Xia Shu, Dr. Jin, and Dr. Wen could only watch idly by, unable to step in. Besides, the cases Professor Yang just mentioned were indeed very complicated, and only a few doctors would be capable of handling such surgeries. They themselves might not be up to the task.

"Hmm, the tumor has invaded T1–T4, and the blood supply in this segment is very poor. We have to be extremely careful not to damage the blood vessels supplying the spinal cord. The tumor has adhesive contact with the thoracoabdominal organs in the front, so here we need to be particularly careful, brother. During this time, you’ve been focusing on the anterior approach and I’ve been focusing on the posterior approach. How about we team up, give combined support, with you handling the anterior and me the posterior?"

"That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ll take care of the anterior surgery."

The two brothers often trained together, and to avoid conflicts, like when an experimental pig was used for surgery, having both perform surgery on the same area would be problematic. So their focused surgical training was often separate, like in spinal surgery—for the time being, Zhang Lin specialized in the posterior approach and Little Five in the anterior approach. They would switch training after they each felt quite proficient.

"We have to plan well to achieve an entire block resection without leakage. How about starting from here? What do you think?"

"That can be done, but be very careful here. These are the blood vessels supplying the spinal cord, and we absolutely cannot damage them."

"These vessels are in the front; you’ll handle them."

"No problem. I will take care of these few vessels, which need to be separated and protected in advance."

"Let’s take our time, no rush. We’ll do it step by step, and the blood reserve needs to be sufficient."

"Guodong, you need to communicate with the Blood Transfusion Department in advance. Make sure we have enough blood for the patient, we’ll need 10 units of packed red blood cells, and prepare 2000 milliliters of plasma. This way, we’ll be prepared for any eventuality. Brother Five, is that enough blood?"

"That should be about right."

"We’ll work overtime together tonight, draw the surgical diagrams. Such a comprehensive vertebral resection involves a custom-made prosthesis for dual-implantation support. Get in touch with Manager Huang to prepare in advance."

These two guys completely ignored everyone around them, looking every bit the serious professors.

Yang Ping watched the two of them, seemingly proper in every way, but these two were indeed very diligent. They knew they were not as academically strong as Song Zimo or Xu Zhiliang, so they worked very hard, even giving up gaming. They spent their entire days together, either drawing anatomy diagrams or training in surgical fundamentals, followed by participating in surgeries with Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang.

Originally, Xu Zhiliang wasn’t too fond of Zhang Lin, so when he supervised Zhang Lin during surgeries, Zhang Lin would often be on the receiving end of scolding. Each time he was scolded, Zhang Lin would nod and bow, trying to appease with a smile.

But although Old Xu was harsh in his scolding, his teaching during surgeries was very serious. He instructed step by step, rigorously, leading Zhang Lin through each surgical procedure.

Compared to Zhang Lin, Little Five didn’t get scolded as much by Song Zimo. Song Zimo generally didn’t like to scold people. Plus, with Little Five’s quick mind and his ability to speak pleasantly, he generally didn’t provoke Song Zimo’s temper, resulting in a much more harmonious superior-subordinate relationship between them.

Moreover, Song Zimo was not as serious as Xu Zhiliang and had a more flexible and varied teaching style, valuing learning through fun, which meant Little Five’s working environment was a lot more relaxed.

After so much learning, whether they were ready or not, Yang Ping also wanted to see. It was like setting an examination.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Yang Ping would be watching the whole process vigilantly, the so-called ’hands-off but eyes-on,’ keeping everything within a controllable range.
