After completing two surgeries, Professor Zhong and Professor Chu's first surgery was still in the process of vascular anastomosis.
After making rounds to the other two operating rooms, Professor Xu returned and, after some thought, said to Yang Ping, "When the time comes, you'll take the lead as the chief surgeon, and I'll be your assistant. I'll talk to them—if it can also be done using thoracoscopy, the trauma would be lesser, and postoperative recovery faster."
It now seemed that in both surgical skills and speed, Yang Ping was superior to himself. Director Xu understood the principle that capable individuals should assume leadership.
He decided that after the meeting, he would personally make a trip to 301 Hospital to meet with Dean Liu and Commissioner Qiao and recommend Yang Ping as the chief surgeon.
