"Academician Zhu, are you going to guide the surgery?" Huo Congjun asked before Ling Ran could respond so that Ling Ran would not be cheated.
Zhu Tongyi nodded and said, "The surgery plan is ready. All we need is a suitable surgeon."
Zhu Tongyi was old now. He had stopped performing microsurgeries himself for ten years. Still, he could design the plans for the surgeries and participate in them with a position that was higher than the chief surgeon's to guide the chief surgeon in completing the surgery.
This mode of operation contradicted the typical mode of a chief surgeon, who usually controlled everything in the surgery. It reduced the authority of the chief surgeon, and only extremely skilled doctors could do this. In other words, only surgeons with high statuses were qualified to guide the surgery once they were too old to carry out any surgeries. Such a phenomenon was normally seen in Asian hospitals.
