Ling Ran took a shower and changed into a new set of clothes. Only then did he exit the operating theater.
He felt that he needed to give this kind of difficult surgeries the basic respect they deserved.
Academician Zhu who had been waiting outside got a little anxious. The moment he saw Ling Ran, he could not help but ask, "Could there have been an accident?"
"No," Ling Ran answered as firmly as usual.
Zhu Tongyi almost wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. Ling Ran was way too young indeed to be able to give such a firm answer as a doctor. He did not bother to lecture Ling Ran, though. He merely asked, "Where's Zuo Cidian?"
"He went to talk to the patient's family members together with Zhang Anmin." Even though Ling Ran did not like to communicate with his patients' family members, this was a necessary step. Hence, he sent Zhang Anmin, who had a good idea of what was going on in surgery, to explain things to the patient's family members in layman terms.
