on site.

[System auxiliary detection complete.]

[Ultrasound ear function has been used.]

While examining the cow with a stethoscope, the system was also scanning it, and he, of course, also used his own ultrasonic ear.

"call--"

Zhang Lingchuan took the stethoscope off.

Then he let out a heavy sigh.

It seems he guessed correctly.

System scans are effortless, requiring almost zero effort with two scans per day.

But after using the ultrasonic ear, I felt noticeably tired.

It feels like your energy is instantly drained, leaving you with the exhaustion of a cigarette afterwards.

"How's Veterinarian Zhang? What's wrong with this calf?"

Seeing Zhang Lingchuan's exhausted face, Li Caihua asked him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, he just ate a plastic bag and his stomach is full of hay that he can't pass. He can have an expectoration surgery to remove it."

Zhang Lingchuan said.

"We suspected they ate the rope, gloves, and plastic bag, and we never imagined it was true!"

Upon hearing this, Li Caihua exclaimed excitedly.

"Veterinarian Zhang, let us help you move the table over here."

Zhao Weiqiang and Zhao Dagang went to move a table.

As a cattle farmer, I've certainly seen gastric tummy tucks performed before.

"Mr. Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you can just leave it here."

Zhang Lingchuan said.

"Alright, alright, Dr. Zhang, feel free to contact us if you need anything."

They were watching from the sidelines.

"Okay, friends in front of the camera, we're about to move on to the surgery. From pre-operative preparation to post-operative procedures, it takes quite a while and might be a little tedious, so let's just chat for a bit."

Zhang Lingchuan took out a disposable blue cloth and laid it on the table, then opened his medicine box.

He took out the tools one by one, while talking to the viewers in the live stream.

"My God, I've never even seen surgery performed on a cow before."

"I'm a medical student at a medical university, and if I may ask, does veterinary medicine require this level of professionalism?"

"Here comes the general surgery intern. To be honest, I was really surprised by these tools. They're basically no different from what we use when we're performing surgery."

"+1, I always thought your major was about breeding pigs in the countryside, but when I saw this tool, I was dumbfounded. It's almost like a human being."

Because of what happened yesterday.

Many medical students joined in the fun.

As everyone saw, the first thing Zhang Lingchuan took out were surgical instruments: scalpels, surgical scissors, forceps, drape clamps, hemostatic forceps, needle holders, curved needles, triangular needles, silk thread, syringes, small and long needles, drapes, hemostatic gauze, large pieces of gauze, sutures, dressings...

Then came the surgical medications: procaine injection, Lysol solution, iodine tincture cotton balls, alcohol cotton balls, ammonia, penicillin injection, and saline solution.

The table was instantly filled with food.

Then I was stunned.

To be honest, they have almost never seen a veterinarian perform surgery, after all, many people still have fixed ideas about veterinarians.

In their minds, being a veterinarian wasn't something that anyone, even an illiterate person, could do. When did it become so professional?

"Everyone must be very curious as to why we veterinarians, who are considered by the older generation to be at the bottom of the medical hierarchy and working in the sewers, have so many tools, right? In fact, modern veterinary medicine and surgical procedures have evolved in the direction of human medicine, and the three 'basic training' are also part of our daily routine."

As Zhang Lingchuan set up his tools, he spoke to the netizens.

After all, surgery takes quite a long time, so we need to chat for a while.

"Three basic training areas? Are they basic theory, basic knowledge, and basic skills?"

"This feels so familiar... I think Dr. Zhang was referring to these three!"

After all, quite a few industry professionals came to the live stream.

Upon hearing these familiar words, everyone immediately flooded the screen with comments.

"The three basic trainings are actually the basic theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills of animal surgery. The theories and knowledge are a bit complicated, but the basic skills are easier to explain. In short, they are debridement, suturing, and knot tying. For example, suturing and knot tying depend on your skill, speed, and accuracy. Also, rubber, flesh skin, banana peel, tofu, orange peel... Does this sound familiar to students of clinical medicine?"

Zhang Lingchuan picked up a razor, tried it out, and then asked with a smile.

Holy crap!!

"Mommy, please stop talking!!"

"Why do veterinarians have to learn so much?!"

"As I was sewing together fifty segments of a white mouse's tail in the practice room, tears of bitterness streamed down my face."

"A rat's tail suturing? Holy crap, upstairs expert, I can't even sew up an orange peel properly!! /crying with anger." Zhang Lingchuan said this.

This resonated directly with medical students.

"Veterinarian Zhang is right. Although we are not as skilled as human medicine, we can sew up rubber flesh and banana peels normally. There are even experts who can sew up orange peels. But those who can perform tail suturing on mice are true experts."

The arteries on a rat's tail are as thin as 0.2 millimeters. Normally, about sixty segments are removed, and the patency rate after suturing must reach over 99% to be considered acceptable. That is simply a nightmare for all newly graduated medical students, and even some doctors who are already working in hospitals cannot achieve it.

Veterinarians, let alone during their university years or even after joining a pet hospital, rarely receive this kind of high-level training.

First, there's a lack of resources; second, no one is willing to pay for it.

Many people think that once a pet dies, it's gone.

Surgery is so expensive, why bother with all this?

"Boss Zhao, Boss Madam, come over here and help me lead the cow over here. Clean it up a bit, then I can give it anesthesia and shave it. After that, I'll perform the rumen incision surgery. Of course, if we're being professional, we'll call it a rumen incision. Although the rumen is a tumor, it's not a stomach with a tumor. It's the first stomach of ruminants, the most powerful natural fermentation tank known to date for degrading fibrous materials. Generally speaking, the feed and even plastic bags are stored inside."

Moving the cattle to a clean, shaded area is also one of the surgical guidelines.

At this moment, Zhang Lingchuan was trying to make some dry information vivid and interesting in front of the camera.

After all, while performing surgery, I am also showing everyone a different kind of daily life as a veterinarian and popularizing animal science.

"Good good."

Zhao Dagang and Li Caihua quickly led the ox away. They didn't understand the technical details, but seeing so many tools, they knew they had gotten great value for their money!
"I was just wondering what 'keeping the stomach empty' meant."

"Haha, I thought I was the only one who was uncultured. I didn't expect there were other people as confused as me."

"A cow has four stomachs: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. It's not that you're uneducated; normally, people who aren't professionals don't know these things."

"Wow! Cows have four stomachs? That's amazing!!"

Studio.

[Zhang the Veterinarian's daily live stream viewership: 1723.]

[No. 95 on the Veterinarian Daily Livestream Competition Popularity Ranking.]

Because of yesterday's buzz, coupled with the extremely complete surgical equipment he just used, he attracted a large audience.

This time, the Veterinarian's Daily Life Competition has reached number ninety-five on the popularity list.

However, since today is the second day of the competition, more and more people are flocking to the competition. It is no longer just more than 10,000 yesterday, but more than 50,000 participants today.

In particular, many of them have their own following and are considered internet celebrity veterinarians.

So today's difficulty is much higher than yesterday's. He's the only one who managed to squeeze into the top 100 as a complete newbie.

Of course, Zhang Lingchuan was unaware of this.

Because the cow has already arrived at the designated location.

"Next, we will proceed with the surgical procedure. In fact, there are significant differences between veterinarians and human surgeons when performing surgery. For example, human surgeons can perform debridement, surgery, suturing, and postoperative rehabilitation in batches, with a very detailed division of labor. But we veterinarians have a much tougher job. Preoperative preparation, intraoperative procedures, and postoperative management are basically all handled by one person. This is especially true for rural veterinarians, who are in a much worse situation and have to shoulder the entire burden alone."

As Zhang Lingchuan spoke, he picked up the clippers.

Start shaving the area where you'll be using a razor later.

After all, there are still big differences between animals and humans.

"Veterinarian Xiaoyu: Listening to what Veterinarian Zhang said really resonates with me. As a practitioner, I can only say that the standards for veterinarians are indeed rising. A sterile surgical environment is the most basic requirement, and there is a lot of training in surgical skills in addition to that."

"Little Veterinarian: Yes, if the conditions are not good, one person can basically handle an operation. It's not like human hospitals, which are so luxurious that they have several assistants. We don't even have assistants. For example, Veterinarian Zhang now has to do everything by himself: anesthesia, shaving, incision, removing foreign objects, cleaning the wound, and suturing."

"Yingying Xinghuo: This is terrible. I work at Qingxian People's Hospital. If I didn't have to work, I would want to be Zhang the veterinarian's assistant."

It is heartbreaking to hear and bitter to listen to.

Even the students from the medical school felt a mix of emotions.

Imagine performing a surgery to remove a foreign object from the stomach all by yourself—cutting open, removing the object, cleaning the wound, and suturing it—without even anyone to hand you the tools. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"Teacher Zhang, we are so sorry we are late. Wanqing can be your assistant for this surgery, and Xiaoyuan can handle the camera."

Just at this time.

A familiar voice sounded.

There were three people wearing volunteer uniforms from the media convergence center, two women and one man.

"The traitorous teacher is here!"

"Aww! I've been waiting for you!"

"Haha, perfect time to chat!!"

"Zhang the veterinarian probably didn't expect this, did he? The mole teacher has arrived. He promised to help us find out how syphilis was diagnosed."

And this moment.

I heard Chen Qian's voice.

The live broadcast room was abuzz.

Especially medical students.

It's as if the truth is right before our eyes!
