"Doctor Pan is not here... Where is Department Director Jin Xi?" Huo Congjun asked for Jin Xi, the Director of the Hand Surgery Department.
If a person had been a resident doctor for a long time, he or she would eventually be able to read another person's thoughts through the expressions on that person's face. Hou Kang immediately understood Huo Congjun's intentions. He then spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "The M-Tang technique is Department Associate Director Pan's speciality. Department Director Jin wouldn't normally perform it."
Even if a doctor were a chief physician, that doctor would not recklessly employ a technique they were unfamiliar with in actual practice.
Huo Conjun hummed in acknowledgment. He arrived next to the operating table, put on his surgical magnifying glasses, and examined the patient's fingers meticulously.
