Chapter 21: Going to extreme lengths for the surgical assistant position.One day later,

“Congratulations, your cancer is still in the early stage,” Lin Feng said with a smile to the middle-aged man.

After conducting an enhanced CT scan, tumor marker tests, MRI, and a series of other examinations, it was determined that the man’s cancer cells had not spread yet, indicating an early stage of cancer.

The man, surprised and anxious, asked, “What do you mean?”

Lin Feng replied, “I can perform surgery to remove and potentially cure this cancer, but risks are involved. I can’t guarantee a hundred percent success…”

Even though Lin Feng was highly confident, he refrained from making absolute assurances to avoid potential medical disputes.

The man exclaimed with joy, “Really?”

Originally prepared for the worst, he was now hearing the possibility of a cure. A ray of hope emerged, and things were looking up.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “Don’t worry; it should go smoothly. Please complete the payment for admission. We must remove the cancer immediately, as it could spread over time. Let’s schedule the surgery for tomorrow morning since there’s an available slot in the operating room, and I’ll arrange it for you.”

The man nodded eagerly and said, “Okay, I’ll go pay right away!”

…

As the middle-aged man completed his payment and was admitted to the emergency room, intern Wu Haoming quickly found Lin Feng and offered him a cup of hot milk tea.

“Teacher! Dr. Lin!”

Wu Haoming wore an ingratiating expression as he tried to win Lin Feng’s favor.

“What are you up to?” Lin Feng felt a sense of unease.

“Dr. Lin~~~ I heard there’s going to be a colon cancer surgery later. Could you assign me as the second assistant?” Wu Haoming asked hesitantly, eager for his first surgical experience.

Lin Feng sighed, contemplating the request.

At that moment, the door to Lin Feng’s consultation room was forcefully kicked open, and a group of doctors rushed in. Attending physicians Song Ziming and Huang Ziqian, along with six interns, had all arrived, their eyes gleaming with ambition.

Song Ziming declared, “Dr. Lin, I want to be the first assistant!”

Huang Ziqian asserted, “The first assistant position is mine!”

The other interns sneered at these two senior colleagues, expressing their desire to be the second assistant.

“Dr. Lin, could you please assign us as the second assistant this time? Let us gain some experience!”

“Yes, please allow us to be the second assistant!”

“I’ve been diligently studying various subjects daily to become the second assistant.”

“I sleep with surgical tools every night. I may not hold them, but my mind is filled with them!”

“Eww~~~ That’s so fake!”

“Dr. Song, Dr. Huang, you two shouldn’t snatch our opportunities.”

“Yes, show some sportsmanship, you unscrupulous individuals!”

The interns unanimously criticized Song Ziming and Huang Ziqian.

Song Ziming and Huang Ziqian coldly chuckled, “What’s wrong with us competing with you? We also need to learn!”

Lin Feng: “…………….”

A senior doctor entered the scene!

Chief physician Zhang Yuan pushed everyone aside.

“Clear the way for me… Dr. Lin, this time, I’ll take the first assistant position. I want to learn too!”

Song Ziming, Huang Ziqian, and the interns stared in disbelief at Zhang Yuan.

Their mouths hung open!

Zhang Yuan, the chief physician and surgical expert, was trying to snatch their opportunity!

Zhang Yuan looked disdainfully at them, “What’s the matter? Can’t I learn too? I haven’t performed surgery for colon cancer yet!”

Song Ziming and Huang Ziqian gritted their teeth inwardly but could only compete for the second assistant position.

By now, they were hiding in a corner, silently cursing: “Wishing those seniors have a night shift and work until they drop dead!!”

The next day in the morning, Several relatives of the middle-aged man arrived at the emergency room to visit him but were driven away by the emergency nurses. Then came the preparations before the surgery, various examinations, and family members signing consent forms.

At 10:30, the middle-aged man was wheeled into the operating room.

“The surgeon looks so young?”

“I asked, and he’s only 24.”

“Can a doctor that young handle it?”

The relatives began chattering and gossiping among themselves.

Inside the operating room…

Preparations began.

Zhang Yuan occupied the first assistant position proudly, Song Ziming secured the second assistant position happily, Huang Ziqian sobbed, and the interns were envious, secretly cursing them…

This surgery was for cancer, and one crucial aspect was preventing the “implantation metastasis” of cancer cells.

Meaning: During the surgery, tumor cells might detach and spread like seeds in the body cavity, implanting on the surfaces of other organs and forming metastatic tumors.

If this happened, it would be a disaster!

Therefore, placing towels, protective barriers, and organs became crucial.
