Mo Li saw the disbelief on the woman's face and she added, "I managed to finish the plan so quickly because I've studied all of Ross' surgical videos. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Reading the plan again, Nicki's heart was filled with surprise. Nicki wouldn't be so shocked if this was a surgical plan which mimicked the surgical methods of Ross. However, this plan was something completely new and incredible. This proved that Mo Li was both hardworking and had a solid foundation... Honestly, even after Ross saw Mo Li's plan, he didn't have the confidence that he would be able to follow through with every step of her plan. The girl had considered things that he had not.
When Ross handed Mo Li's plan to Nicki, Ross' usually unimpressed face brightened with a smile. He added, "All of you should learn from Mo Li. This is a perfect plan. We will carry out the surgery according to this plan."
Before reading Mo Li's plan, Nicki still had her prejudice against Mo Li. She was just too young to be the main surgeon. Therefore, when she first got her hands on Mo Li's plan, Nicki went through it thoroughly to find any mistake. However, Nicki had to admit that Mo Li's plan was perfect and she was indeed capable enough to be the main surgeon...
Nicki, who stood behind Mo Li suddenly raised her head to say, "You are incredible. Do you mind if I keep this plan for myself? I wish to study it further. You have done such a great job."
"Sure." Mo Li answered. She was still absorbed in the surgical simulation system. "Use it as you wish."
In the original book, Nicki was Ross' right-hand woman. Like Ross, Nicki specialized in orthopedics. Eventually, she also became a good surgeon in her own right. Every year, Nicki would lead Ross' team to provide lectures and tutorials to students of famous medical universities.
Nicki might appear hard to deal with at first glance but she was unexpectedly simple-minded. She was easily impressed by knowledgeable people. Mo Li's surgical plan had completely won Nicki over. Nicki quickly got along with Mo Li and they discussed the details of the surgery enthusiastically. The other 2 doctors became abandoned and forgotten.
Soon it was time for the surgery. They scrubbed up and entered the operating theatre together.
The patient's family member sat in the observation room outside the theatre. This was a unique feature of Ross' research center. Since their patients were mostly political and business bigwigs, it was quite often that there would be people observing from the sidelines.
Inside the observation room, the young nurse was conversing with the patient's family members. The family complained, "She looks so young, can she really perform the surgery? And that woman next to her... Isn't that Ross' disciple? Why is she assisting this little girl?"
The patient inside the theatre could still hear his family and he added in a sneer. "They have sent you to operate on me? Have they run out of talent?" The young man's tone was sour. This was because he had a history with Nicki. They applied for medical school together to be Ross' disciples but Ross had picked Nicki over him. So he had held that grudge until this day.
"Don't worry, we have seen Miss Mo Li's surgical plan, it is perfect! And she is qualified to be the main surgeon!"
"Anyone who has read a medical textbook or two can write a good surgical plan." The man shook his head with derision. He argued, "I dare guarantee that this girl hasn't even seen a surgical scalpel before. After the surgery starts, she might not be able to hold the scalpel without shaking."
"No way, Doctor Ross will not treat my husband like that, right?!" The family was worried.
"Don't worry, we will not let that happen!"
To everyone's surprise, when Mo Li approached the operating table, Ross suddenly spoke, "Nicki, you've read Mo Li's surgical plan, right? You'll be the main surgeon this time."
When she heard that, Nicki was surprised and delighted. She had studied under Ross for 3 years already and she hadn't had the chance to hold a scalpel yet.
Ross' sudden decision shocked everyone.
"Me? Really?" Nicki widened her eyes. She didn't expect this turn of events.
Mo Li sighed internally. She knew things would turn out like this. After all, this was a perfect chance for Ross to train his disciple.. Since Ross had that intention, Mo Li would do her best to cooperate, to help the future generation.
