The patient Chen Yu was operating on had lost the thumb and index finger of his right hand in an accident years ago.
Now that he had the financial means, he wanted to restore the appearance and function of his right hand through surgery.
However, the patient's big toes were thick and short.
Chen Yu mainly used the patient's slenderer second toes from both his left and right feet as the main framework to reconstruct his right thumb and index finger.
During the operation, Yan Feifan realized that his role as a surgical assistant was not just for show.
He ended up doing most of the suturing.
By the middle and later stages of the surgery, as soon as Chen Yu aligned the trimmed sections, Yan Feifan would instinctively begin suturing without so much as a glance from him.
The surgery ended at nearly twelve-thirty in the afternoon.
By the time Yan Feifan cleaned up and got to Cafeteria Number One for lunch, it was already past one o'clock.
