Zhang Fan was the primary surgeon for the surgery, with Chen Qifa as his surgical assistant. The patient was placed on the operating table, while Zhang Fan and Chen Qifa stood across from each other on opposite sides of the patient. The medical equipment nurse and table were also across from the patient. There was no room for a third doctor!
What could be done then? Tong Lili could only stand to the left of Zhang Fan. There wasn't even any space for a stool for her to stand on. She would have to stand in order to participate in the surgery.
