There was a sea of people in the demonstration room of the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, and it was overcrowded.
More than thirty permanent doctors in the center, more than ten doctors receiving in-service training, more than ten interns, and a considerable number of nurses as well as office clerks not only filled the seats, but blocked the aisles until the back of the room. There were even some people who stood on the tables later on.
Everyone was really curious.
They were not curious about the surgery itself, but curious about the patient who was about to undergo the surgery.
Liu Weichen was considered the biggest star athlete the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center had received ever since its establishment. Of course, Academician Zhu Tongyi was involved in the operations of patients with even greater fame when he was younger, but after he became an academician, there were instead fewer opportunities for him to operate on important people.
