The surgery had been arranged, and naturally, Director Fang from the General Surgery Department wouldn't miss this opportunity. He volunteered to be the first assistant, and there was no room for negotiation.
He did so because he had his reasons. The patient had come through his hands, and he was the attending physician—he had to be responsible for the patient. Moreover, compared to the youngsters from the Surgical Research Institute, he had deeper seniority at the hospital.
Old Fang was also a man with ideas and ideals. He didn't want to bumble along without achievement; he wanted to become a world-class expert in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. How would he do that? Of course, by closely following Professor Yang's lead.
Director Fang saw the current situation very clearly; whoever could keep pace with Professor Yang would make a name for themselves.
