Chapter 339: Main Surgeon
Her confidence was admirable and the two other young doctors nodded in agreement.
Mo Li swore that she could feel the woman’s hostility towards her but she didn’t take it to heart. Ross’ expression was unreadable as he turned to Mo Li.
“I do not agree with laparotomy. First, the patient is too old to undergo such an ordeal. Second, based on the patient’s past medical history, I can confirm that the patient suffered from gastroptosis in the past. Therefore, instead of exploratory laparotomy, I suggest a gastrointestinal angiography.”
A hint of surprise crossed Ross’ eyes. The way he looked at Mo Li changed. “Gastrointestinal angiography?”
The 3 other young doctors scoffed at Mo Li because they didn’t agree with her, especially the brunette. She groused, “You’re an interesting girl. You’re saying the patient’s stomach has dropped down to her abdomen? Are you kidding? Based on what you said, Old Madam Tian’s stomach would be at her pelvis already!”
“When did I say that? As a doctor, you shouldn’t take things out of context.” Mo Li felt the girl was cherry-picking and that was not the making of a doctor. She reminded her. “I notice that the patient has a history of gastroptosis just now. Laparotomy is not the safest route, but gastrointestinal angiography is. A professional doctor will put the patient’s safety first.”
“How dare you! You’re just a kid and you’re lecturing me?”
Everyone turned to Ross. Ross looked contemplative and he said, “Ok, we’ll do the gastrointestinal angiography first.”
Other than Mo Li, the 3 other doctors were shocked, especially the brunette. She bit on her lips and gripped her fists. She glared at Mo Li with dissatisfaction. She was annoyed that her proposal was denied in favor of Mo Li’s. But as a doctor, she understood that the safety of the patient would always come first.
Ignoring his 3 own students, Ross studied Mo Li with surprise. Then he added, “Go and get prepared. In the imminent surgery, Mo Li will be my assistant.”
The other doctors would be so happy when they heard that. To be Ross’ assistant meant that they would have a lot of chances to learn. As future doctors, they all couldn’t wait to learn from Ross. Even experienced doctors were fighting to be Ross’ assistant.
This was especially true for the brunette. For her, every second in the surgical room was a chance to gather experience. It also helped build a bond with Ross. That way, her rapport with Ross would get better. However, everything changed because of Mo Li’s appearance, therefore, it was understandable that she felt miffed towards Mo Li.
However, Ross’ orders couldn’t be disobeyed. While the other doctors looked on with envy, Mo Li frowned and declared, “I’m not going to be your assistant. If you want to know my true capability, then I have to be the main surgeon.”
“Hey, how can you talk to Doctor Ross like that? You’re still underage. What would you do if something went wrong during the surgery?” The brunette immediately jumped on Mo Li.?How dare a child without a medical license speak so arrogantly in front of Ross??The brunette was already preparing for the surgery but she had to say something to preserve the sanctity of the medical world. She would not allow someone like Mo Li to ruin it.
Mo Li was too young to have gone through the systematic study of medicine. Even if she was a genius, how could she operate on someone without a medical license?
Ross looked at Mo Li. He didn’t expect that the girl would make such an unreasonable request. If Mo Li were his student, he would expel her right away and make sure that she would not find work in the medical field anymore. She was too young to be the main surgeon! She should know that surgical knowledge only came with tons of experience.
However as Ross studied Mo Li, he couldn’t find any arrogance in Mo Li. It was not like she was saying these things to gloat. There was no hesitation in her eyes. She was really confident in herself.
Ross had studied Mo Li’s history prior to his approach of Mo Li. He had not seen her handle any big surgery before.
