Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 878: Enjoy A Diversion

Chapter 878: Enjoy A Diversion

“The bleeding is controlled quite well today.”

“When I strip the liver and adrenal gland, I would break out in sweat, I didn’t expect you to do it so well, Doctor Wei.”

Two doctors from the provincial hospital surrounded Wei Jiayou and buttered him up as much as possible.

Wei Jiayou also looked excited. Although he always performed cardiovascular surgeries, which was more difficult and required more attention to detail, the sense of accomplishment from laparoscopic hepatectomy was similar.

In fact, since he wanted to compete with Ling Ran, it made Wei Jiayou become even more high spirited.

“Once you’re familiar with laparoscopy, when you do hepatectomy or cholecystectomy, it’s about the same.” Wei Jiayou praised himself from another perspective. Then, he took this chance to say, “Laparoscopy has an advantage. Its magnification function is very useful in hepatectomy. When it comes to the stripping of the adrenal gland, which you mentioned just now, when it’s magnified, it is actually much simpler than open abdominal surgery.”

“But bleeding control becomes more difficult. Normal people might not be able to control the bleeding like you do, Doctor Wei.” The two doctors from the provincial hospital who came to help were senior attending physicians, and they were about to be promoted to assistant lecturers. They were also considered to be outer sect disciples under Academician Di. They had developed medical skills, and their ability in buttering up to people was just as developed.

Compared to young doctors, they were less shameless, and they could butter up to the right things.

The one thing difficult about hepatectomy was how difficult it was to control the bleeding in the liver, and when it came to laparoscopic hepatectomy, this difficulty was magnified multiple times. When surgeons performing laparoscopic hepatectomy had to switch to laparotomies during the surgery, it was always because they cannot control the bleeding.

Both assistants praised Wei Jiayou’s bleeding control skill. Wei Jiayou was proud of that.

“Both of you have seen Ling Ran’s surgery too, right? What do you think of it compared to mine?” Wei Jiayou raised his head slightly.

He chose to support Bazhaixiang and also to stay temporarily at Bazhaixiang because he wanted to compete with Ling Ran. With his level and current age, his meaning of life was to keep competing with others.

Monkeys, gorillas, and even kindergarteners kept comparing themselves with their peers around them to ascertain their own status. This was an inborn instinct.

For a doctor, a comparison like this had more practical meaning.

Only first-class doctors could enjoy first-class resources. Only the best doctor could enjoy the best resources.

Wei Jiayou had long cast aside the desire for titles like that of an associate chief physician or chief physician. He wanted more, and so, his vision was even broader.

The two doctors from the provincial hospital felt a bit awkward.

They tried to size up how shameless each other were and compete with each other who was more shameless, and the winner first said, “Doctor Wei’s hepatectomy skill is suited to the local conditions, and that is something Doctor Ling cannot compare to.”

“Exactly. Doctor Wei did very well for today’s surgery.” The loser followed up quickly and said. They did not bother about their integrity anymore.

Wei Jiayou did not feel that there was anything wrong with their statement. He used to be praised by others. After he became the disciple of Academician Di, he was praised even more than ever.

“Yes. Do the two of you always observe Ling Ran’s surgeries at Yun Hua Hospital?” Wei Jiayou suddenly thought of this question.

“How can we? Everyone has work to do.” The shameless attending physician smiled and said, “But we will sometimes watch the livestream from Yunli Medical Company.”

Wei Jiayou knew about the livestreamed surgeried by Yunli Medical Company as well. He suddenly changed his mind and asked, “You guys always watch that?”

“Sometimes.”

“I’m sure both of you have a lot of work, right? Among the surgeries you watched, which surgeon appeared the most?”

Both attending physicians hesitated.

“Ling Ran?” Wei Jiayou was surprised. “Why?”

The shameless attending physician tried to explain, “Um… After all, we are from the General Surgery Department. Hepatectomy is one of the most high-end surgery types in the field of general surgery. And Ling Ran is quite famous for this.”

The shameless attending physician also added, “The hospitals in Changxi Province do quite acknowledge Ling Ran’s skills in hepatectomy. Doctor Wei, you’re a cardiologist at Beijing. You don’t walk down the same path as him.”

Wei Jiayou was not a fool. He chuckled, put his hands behind him, and said, “It’s fine, I’ll go and check out the surgeries performed by Ling Ran. It’s more convenient to observe it live than from streamed videos.”

The two attending physicians followed behind him and saw that Wei Jiayou walked like a ginseng baby without a red string tied to it . They could not help but sigh together.

“Our EQ is not sufficient.”

“Were we tactful enough?”

“Why should we be tactful? At this moment, we should just turn our backs against our consciousness and butter him up so much he’s covered in butter. At the very least, if we manage to butter him up, it won’t be a waste that we were sent here.”

……

Wei Jiayou found the operating theater and saw Zuo Cidian standing at the position of the chief surgeon.

Wei Jiayou was incredibly shocked. “You can perform surgery as well?”

Zuo Cidian looked up and saw Wei Jiayou. He could not help but sigh, “Doctor Wei, won’t the way you speak offend anyone in Beijing?”

Wei Jiayou was reminded of this fact, and he smiled in embarrassment. He quickly said, “I didn’t mean it. I just let myself run a little too loose when I’m here. Are you treating… a Colles’ fracture?”

“Yes. The patient was injured badly…”

“Colles’ fracture is considered an injury as well?” Wei Jiayou smiled. “Are you actually an orthopedist?”

Zuo Cidian sighed again. “Doctor Wei, what brought you here?”

“Oh, I’m looking for Ling Ran.”

“Doctor Ling is resting now.”

“Resting? Resting for what?” Wei Jiayou was even more shocked.

“Recently, the roads are all cleared, and there are other doctors who came over to help. It has been a long time since we ran out of hospital beds, and we have to distribute them as well…”

Zuo Cidian said lots of stuff, and Wei Jiayou finally understood the situation.

“Where is Ling Ran?” Wei Jiayou asked.

“Taking a walk, maybe?” Zuo Cidian replied.

This reply was against Wei Jiayou’s expectations.

Wei Jiayou could only think that if Ling Ran who was at the operating theater, he should be at the cafeteria, performing consultations or even bathing. But he could not think of Ling Ran… taking a walk.

“Where did he go for a walk? Aren’t there a group of people chasing after him?” Wei Jiayou said subconsciously. He then shook his head fiercely and asked, “Where is his exact location?”

“Why are you looking for Doctor Ling?” Zuo Cidian raised his head and looked at Wei Jiayou.

“About surgeries.”

Zuo Cidian waited for a few seconds before replying, “At Zhongzhai.”

Zhongzhai was a village at the border of Bazhaixiang. Since it was close to the geographical center of Bazhaixiang and it was not too far away from the main street of Bazhaixiang, it will only take half an hour to reach that place, and it can be considered as one of the scenic locations in Bazhaixiang.

Wei Jiayou ignored that and asked for a car before he drove to Zhongzhai.

The road heading to the center of Zhongzhai was only at the level of a village road. Along the way were huge and tall trees as well as mist, and it could make a person feel refreshed.

Wei Jiayou treated this excursion as a diversion to enjoy himself to get rid of all the frustration from how things did not go his way over the past few days. He even slowed down his driving speed to delay his time of arrival.

After half an hour, before he arrived in Zhongzhai, Wei Jiayou saw Ling Ran at a small platform at the top of a cliff.

It was impossible for him not to see Ling Ran.

A cement platform that was about half the size of a basketball court was now covered with a red carpet, and on its center were a table and chairs.

Ling Ran and Tian Qi sat at both ends of the table while looking at the sunset.

They were surrounded by green forest, and the mountain scenery around them lasted for miles. Around them were also dozens of servants and chefs, who were busy…

“This man is having a picnic? And it’s such a luxurious picnic…” Wei Jiayou mumbled to himself. His relaxed mind started to become conflicted again.
