"Focus and finish up this surgery first." Ling Ran raised his head to glance at the clock on the wall and said to the nurse, "Set the countdown timer to six minutes."
Ling Ran reserved some time for himself to run over to the Emergency Department as well as freshen up.
"Countdown start. Six minutes," the nurse immediately said.
The nurses in the operating theater were very well-trained too. They perked up, and even the atmosphere in the operating theater had become different because of this.
The circulating nurse picked up the phone in the operating theater and called the Emergency Department. She said solemnly, "Doctor Ling is with us now. He's in the middle of a cholecystectomy. Yes."
After the circulating nurse hung up, she said to Ling Ran, "Only three resident doctors and two housemen are on night shift today in the Emergency Department. All the second-string doctors have gone home. They'll probably be back in one and a half hours. Wow, this young man's really gutsy."
