The First Patient

"The patient… should have been anesthetized, right?" Selena the interpreter asked in a low voice, and her worries were very obvious.

"Hmm," Ling Ran answered, but he did not immediately take any action. Instead, he quietly observed the patient and said, "We'll use as little time and as few steps as possible to handle the patient's wound. We'll focus on keeping him alive."

He tried to explain it in a clearer manner. The manpower in the operating theater was not enough, and the assistants did not have sufficient experience… In fact, he did not even have an assistant. He had only a nurse and an interpreter who had her hands washed, and he even needed to guide them while he operated on the patient. 

Under this situation, performing a complete surgery would be challenging his limits.
