Xu Peichen's movements were very slow. If this patient's bone quality were even one grade better, he wouldn't have needed to be so "slow and deliberate."
Spinal surgery is inherently a very risky procedure; one careless move, touching the spinal cord, could leave the patient with a lifelong disability.
