'That was quick,' Pan Ziyao thought.
The surgery was likely not over.
Appendectomies were one of the few procedures the rural healthcare center could perform.
Each appendectomy took at least 30 minutes to complete.
Pan Ziyao had only stepped out for a cigarette. There was no way the procedure could be over so quickly.
This must be another patient.
He scanned the waiting area. The only other people there were the family members he had scolded.
Su Yun hollered, "The head of the family, please stay back. Chief Zheng wants a word with you. The others should assist with transport."
'So, it was the patient,' Pan Ziyao concluded.
When he found out Old Chief Physician Pan would not be personally handling the case, he was slightly offended, but that feeling quickly faded when he saw the patient being wheeled out in record time.
