Chapter 340: Surgical Plan

“How should I know you’re capable to be the main surgeon? Plus do you know who this person is?” Ross challenged Mo Li, intending to see how stable this young lady’s bearing was.

“Action speaks louder than words. If you don’t believe me to carry out the surgery on Old Madam Tian, why don’t you assign me to perform surgery on another person first?” The people present were shocked. They didn’t expect Mo Li to talk back to Ross like that.?Has she lost her mind?

Ross didn’t say anything. He turned to inject some medicine into Old Madam Tian and then he brought all of them back to the medical research center.

“As you wish then, you shall perform surgery on this person.” Mo Li accepted the medical report from Ross.

“Patient is male, 55. A single nodule of about 1.3 cm is found in his left thyroid lob. Cytology examinations show that it is thyroid cancer. The plan is to perform a left thyroid lobe and isthmus resection as well as a preventive left-side lymph node dissection.”

There was jealousy in the eyes of the 3 other doctors. Ross looked at Mo Li and said expressionlessly. “Before entering the operating theater, you have 2 hours to prepare a surgical diagram and surgical plan for me.”

“Okay.” Mo Li showed no emotion as she flipped through the records. She found a desk and sat down. She didn’t mind Ross’ suspicion of her. She was willing to use her capability to prove him wrong. Even though Mo Li was not in the theatre, she could already imagine herself there.

Ross had given her a simple yet technical surgery. It was a left lobe and isthmus resection of the thyroid, as well as a preventive left VI lymph node dissection operation.

Mo Li closed her eyes and began to move her hands. She moved the patient to a supine position and placed her hands around the patient’s shoulders…?No, wait, this is when one examines the dead body. For a living patient, I have to lay him flat on his back and allow the performing of general anesthesia. There should be a disinfection of the upper jaw, lower lip line, both sides of the neck, neck junction, and collarbone. Surgical forceps will be used to dip cotton balls in disinfectant and then I will disinfect the central incision of the operation area.

The incision should be made in the middle of the neck, right above the sternum. I haven’t touched a high-frequency scalpel for so long already. It’s quite exciting.

Mo Li had her eyes closed so she didn’t realize someone was secretly observing her. Her hands were simulating the surgery. This was a simple nodule dissection to suture the platysma muscle.?After the nodule is cleaned, the surgical instruments needed to be checked before the surgery could be considered to be over.

Before her transmigration, Mo Li had studied to be a general surgical doctor but due to her interest, she spent most of her time as a coroner. She would only attend the surgery of the most powerful and rich patients.

Soon Ross received Mo Li’s surgical plan. Ross expected a surgical plan from the perspective of a second surgeon because, in Ross’ mind, Mo Li was a newbie. However, Mo Li’s plan proved him wrong. Mo Li’s perspective was broad and holistic. She had even prepared plan b for every single step of the surgery.

‘Before proceeding to the next step, one should expose the recurrent laryngeal nerve to avoid recurrent laryngeal neuritis…’ Ross was impressed when he read that. This was a precaution that even he didn’t think of!

Studying the neat and orderly plan, a look of surprise appeared on Ross’ face. He didn’t expect this caliber from Mo Li. At the same time, he also sighed in relief. If Mo Li was not to his accepted level, he would be so disappointed in his old friend, Lu Xuan.

For a successful surgery, a pre-surgical plan was very important. The main surgeon had to have a contingency plan for any kind of possible complications.

This was the first time Ross had encountered such a perfect surgical plan. He grabbed Mo Li’s plan and printed them all out. Ross glanced at his watch. Mo Li had completed the task he had given her in less than an hour. It was done with flying colors too. While Ross printed the documents, he spotted Mo Li studying the clinical operation support system in his room with interest. Ross explained, “This is the world’s most advanced system. It allows medical interns to simulate surgical operations.”

Ross distributed the surgical plans to the 3 young doctors. The brunette’s name was Nicki Carroll, she was the most outstanding intern working under Ross. When she read Mo Li’s full English report, her eyes twitched with disbelief.
