Ma Yanlin had been working under Ling Ran longer than Zuo Cidian.
Since the earliest days of Ling Ran's M-Tang Technique, Ma Yan had already been the assistant. Later on, he also performed more than a few hundred cases of Achilles tendon repairs and finger replantations.
Compared to the frequency of a normal doctor, the surgeries that Ma Yanlin performed were more than the total surgeries performed by a resident doctor.
However, the only disadvantage of Ma Yanlin was his status as a houseman. Unlike Ling Ran, who was supported by Department Director Huo, Ma Yanlin was just a normal doctor, and he was also a normal houseman who was an authorized personnel at the Orthopedics Department. If he wanted to learn from Ling Ran in the Emergency Department for the long term, it would be very troublesome.
