Chapter 776: Chapter 694: Replication

PS: I am still revising, check again tomorrow morning.

Yang Ping’s drawing is getting faster and faster. Due to his frequent practice, he could practically draw a human anatomy diagram with his eyes shut.

Any skill related task, as long as one is not dim-witted and is committed to learning, investing a large amount of time, there is nothing one cannot learn.

Not only is Yang Ping not dim-witted, but his mind is also very effective. The system generously provides him with an enormous amount of study time, allowing him to refine any skill to a proficient level.

After drawing fourteen diagrams in a continuous sequence with a whiteboard marker, Yang Ping said: "That’s all for today. Members of Teacher Sun’s surgical team should take some time to learn from Dr. Ivan and engage in some advance planning discussions. The rest of you are free to do as you wish. Dr. Ivan, do you have anything to add?"

Dr. Ivan slowly twisted his stiff neck and shook his head: "No more."

Song Zimo took note of Ivan’s facial expression, immediately understanding that the professor’s unintended act had once again hurt a colleague’s feelings. He sighed inwardly, knowing that this would not be the first time, nor the last. Recalling how many times he had been hammered by the professor, finally leading to his current calmness.

Song Zimo fully believed that the professor had absolutely no malicious intent. He simply wanted to help Ivan complete his surgical interpretation within fifteen minutes, and the drawings on the whiteboard were merely routine standards.

"You can sit down now since the shift has ended." The considerate August helped his Russian comrade to sit and rest while Robert brought over a cup of warm water. Everyone present was experienced and knew what was going on.

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome. Long live friendship."

Ivan’s throat felt parched. It was the first time he’d ever met someone who had a higher rank in medical illustration than him. From his childhood, he had undergone strict training in professional painting, during his medical studies, he had received rigorous medical illustration training under the guidance of his teacher. He was far superior to many professional medical illustrators. In terms of medical illustration, he was professional and top tier.

At this time, Director Chi from the burn department also arrived. Song Zimo had already notified him to join Director Lan on stage as an assistant.

Director Chi didn’t have much interest in Ivan, he was here for Yang Ping. He was determined to learn Yang Ping’s skin augmentation technique, and he had no interest in Ivan or anything related to cosmetic surgery.

Thus, when Director Lan was discussing with him about assisting, he immediately agreed without hesitation. It didn’t matter to him what role he plays in assisting, whether he’ll have to go first or last. His idols were Director Gao and Duan bald, and he hoped that Yang Ping would teach him the skin grafting technique.

Teacher Sun’s surgical team was put together temporarily. The chief surgeon and the assistants needed to have sufficient communication, so Ivan, Director Lan, Director Chi, Song Zimo, and Xu Zhiliang needed to sit down and communicate well in order to cooperate smoothly during the surgery.

The patient’s body position during the surgery, the order of the grafting, post-operative bandaging etc., were all the key points of the communication, especially post-operative bandaging. Ivan had his own methods.

Bandaging after a full body graft requires careful skills. It needs to apply pressure to ensure that the skin graft adheres to the base to receive its nutritional supply, while also not affecting functions such as breathing.

The time spent on communicating lasted a full three hours. The photographer arranged by Director Lan also took photos for three straight hours from different angles, capturing high-definition pictures displaying Director Lan and Dr. Ivan seriously discussing the surgery and receiving personal guidance from Dr. Ivan. These photos were precious assets. Once Ivan leaves China, these photos would serve as evidence proving that Director Lan was Dr. Ivan’s personal disciple.

Of course, this was only the first step in Director Lan’s plan. He was playing a long game.

Yang Ping sat in his office, recalling Ivan’s surgical plan in his mind. Indeed, his aesthetic sense was very high, and every detail of the surgery was guided by both medical knowledge and aesthetics.

Yan Ping lacked aesthetic proficiency. Which isn’t surprising, as he typically thought about how to rescue patients from death or how to alleviate their pain, not about how to make people look more attractive.

As he recalled the details, he drew them on A4 paper, duplicating Ivan’s drawings.

During this morning’s shift handover, he merely used his own style to express Ivan’s surgery on the whiteboard. Now, he wanted to completely reproduce Ivan’s drawings, in order to learn from Ivan’s strong points. Only by learning from each other can one progress, learning has always been an open process, and being closed off can only lead to regression.

After Ivan finished communicating with his assistants, he was led to Yan Ping’s office by the enthusiastic August and Robert.

"Professor, you work so swiftly, you’ve drawn another dozen or so diagrams?" Robert picked up the drawings.

Ivan also picked up a sheet, wasn’t this a miniaturized version of his schematic? On closer inspection, it was indeed a miniaturized version of his schematic. Every detail, every annotation, was exactly the same.

This meant that based on this morning’s memory, Yang Ping was able to completely duplicate his fourteen drawings. How could this be possible?
