As the four of them were talking, Chen Fan and Zhao Qianqian had already arrived in front of them.
Chen Fan and Zhao Qianqian had naturally overheard their conversation.
"Are you the new interns?" Chen Fan asked.
The young man on the left glanced at Chen Fan with a sneer, "As if you're not an intern. We were all personally invited by the dean here."
As he spoke, the young man's face once again showed arrogance.
"How can you speak like that! Do you know who is standing in front of you?!" Zhao Qianqian's face was displeased.
In her opinion, these people couldn't even compare to one-thousandth of Chen Fan. She really didn't know where they got the courage to be so arrogant in front of Chen Fan.
"Isn't he the same as us? Could it be that he's the director of surgery here?" Another young man glanced at Chen Fan contemptuously.
"He!"
Before Zhao Qianqian could speak, Chen Fan had already raised his hand to interrupt, and smiled calmly, "That's right, we're the same. I'm an intern here."
"Were you also personally recruited by the dean?" the young man asked, scrutinizing Chen Fan.
Chen Fan shook his head, "Not as impressive as you guys. I was assigned by the school."
Upon hearing that Chen Fan was assigned, the young man on the right said disdainfully, "Then we're different. We're all interns personally recruited by the dean. After this internship period, we'll be surgeons in this hospital, unlike you."
The young man on the left reached out and patted Chen Fan's shoulder, "But don't be discouraged. We all graduated from prestigious schools. Learn from us more, and it won't be difficult to stay in this psychiatric hospital."
Zhao Qianqian, standing by the side, showed a strange expression upon hearing this.
Perhaps no one in the entire Jiangcheng's surgery department dared to say such a thing to Chen Fan. This young man's audacity was truly extraordinary.
Especially since on the leadership announcement board pasted on the wall behind these four interns, Chen Fan's name and photo were right above the words "Director of Surgery"!
Chen Fan smiled calmly, "It seems you have great confidence in your medical skills."
"Naturally. We all graduated from prestigious schools, and we've been on the operating table several times," the young man replied proudly.
He then looked at Chen Fan again, "Hey, you probably haven't even been on the operating table, right?"
Chen Fan replied, "I've been on it a few times."
The girl beside them chuckled, "When we say being on the operating table, we mean participating in the surgery, standing by to observe, or wiping sweat for the doctor. That doesn't count."
Immediately, the four of them chuckled, looking at Chen Fan with mockery in their eyes.
Chen Fan smiled calmly and looked at Zhao Qianqian beside him, "Isn't there a surgery this morning?"
Zhao Qianqian nodded, "Yes, a patient came in last night with acute purulent pericarditis. A pericardial drainage will be performed today."
"Tell Dr. Zheng that this surgery will be handled by them," Chen Fan instructed.
Zhao Qianqian seemed a little surprised.
These four interns also looked at Chen Fan with confusion.
Chen Fan asked, "How about it? Can you handle this Grade 1 surgery?"
"You're an intern, and you can decide who performs the surgery? Don't joke around," the young man replied disdainfully.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm just asking if you can perform this Grade 1 surgery or not," Chen Fan asked again.
"Of course, pericardial drainage isn't a major surgery." The four exchanged glances, all with relaxed expressions, as if they didn't take this Grade 1 surgery seriously at all.
Chen Fan glanced at Zhao Qianqian.
Zhao Qianqian quickly nodded and turned to walk towards the operating room.
"Let's go," Chen Fan instructed the four interns.
"Where to? We still have to wait for the director of surgery here."
"No need to wait. The director of surgery is in the operating room. Today, there's a pericardial drainage surgery, and you four will be the chief surgeons." After speaking, Chen Fan turned and walked towards the operating room.
"We'll be the chief surgeons!" The four interns were all surprised, their faces showing delight.
One young man was even more excited, "It seems we made the right choice coming to this small hospital. We have a chance to shine right after arriving."
"Yeah, this kind of Grade 1 surgery is child's play. Perhaps there aren't many doctors in this hospital qualified to perform surgery."
"Then won't we be highly valued by the hospital in the future?"
The four chatted excitedly and then hurried to follow Chen Fan.
Hearing the conversation behind him, Chen Fan's lips curved slightly, and he sneered without paying attention.
Soon, the four interns followed Chen Fan, changed into surgical gowns, and entered the hospital's operating room.
"The patient has been anesthetized and is ready for surgery," the anesthesiologist said as they entered the operating room.
The four interns took their positions on either side of the operating table.
The tallest young man looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Didn't you say the director was here?"
Chen Fan, wearing a mask, replied, "You can start. He can see your every move."
Hearing this, the tallest young man looked at the one-way glass beside him, thinking this was the hospital's test for them. He smiled confidently and looked at the other three, "Yao Qingqing, you're responsible for the external incision. Make it as small as possible, and don't leave a large scar on the patient."
"Jia Xiaofei, you're responsible for opening the pericardium."
"I'll be responsible for drainage and closing the pericardium."
"Du Zihui, you're responsible for suturing."
"This is our first surgery, we must do it perfectly. Let's go!"
Zhu Shang had already started assigning responsibilities for the surgery.
When they arrived at the hospital earlier, they had all introduced themselves and knew each other.
The other three nodded, their eyes full of confidence.
The female intern named Yao Qingqing had already begun disinfecting the skin. After cleaning the skin with iodine and alcohol a few times, she picked up the scalpel.
However, as Yao Qingqing was about to make the skin incision, she appeared somewhat nervous, her wrist trembling slightly.
"Yao Qingqing, what's wrong?" The three looked at Yao Qingqing.
Yao Qingqing swallowed, and in the cold operating room, cold sweat was already forming on her forehead. The confidence in her eyes had completely disappeared at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I, I'm a little nervous." Although Yao Qingqing had participated in surgeries before, this was her first time as the chief surgeon for an external incision, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I'll do it! You can be responsible for opening the pericardium later." Jia Xiaofei, being a boy, was bolder and picked up a scalpel.
However, he also appeared somewhat nervous, and cold sweat was forming on his forehead. But he finally managed to make an incision on the patient's chest.
The human skin has seven layers. To avoid damaging internal organs, Jia Xiaofei carefully opened the seven layers of skin, revealing the patient's sternum.
