Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 893: Morning

Chapter 893: Morning

An attending physician from the General Surgery Department, an attending physician from the Orthopedics Department, and a resident doctor from the Neurosurgery Department came—one after another—to the operating theater in the Emergency Medical Center. They stood in their positions, read their scans, and quietly analyzed the situation.

Among them, the resident doctor from the Neurosurgery Department looked the calmest, while the attending physician from the General Surgery and the attending physician from the Orthopedics Department looked very serious.

Under normal inter-departmental consultations, specialist departments normally sent out resident doctors. Most of the emergency cases were not serious, after all, there were patients who had their heads hit a clock, legs hit a clock, or an*ses hitting a clock, and all of them came for consultation. During those times, resident doctors were enough to treat them.

Even if there were patients with serious symptoms, the resident doctor could make their judgment and send them to the relevant departments.

As for the attending physicians in the department, they could chill when they were free, but they needed to stay in their department and chill.

However, if Ling Ran wanted a consultation, then to certain departments, they could not treat it as something casual.

For example, the Orthopedics Department and General Surgery Department dared not send resident doctors over.

The departments were still keen on preserving their dignity.

It was not embarrassing to serve as the junior doctor for a doctor like Ling Ran, but if he or she could not answer a question or was completely unable to answer whatsoever, then it would be bad. If there were any mistakes made during the operation, it would make the situation worse.

Under normal circumstances, specialist departments had a psychological advantage over the Emergency Department.

However, in Yun Hua Hospital, the normal doctors from the Orthopedics Department or General Surgery Department had lost their psychological advantage over Ling Ran, and the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery even had a psychological disadvantage…

When they worked for other doctors in the Emergency Department (in the past) or in the Emergency Medical Center (as it was known as now), they did not worry that other doctors would look for their faults. After all, it was impossible for them to make any mistakes in a normal operation, and emergency doctors could not find fault in the specific operations, anyway.

However, when they faced Ling Ran, the doctors from the Orthopedics Department or General Surgery Department felt like they were working under the supervision of a department director.

“By the looks of it now, there are two main parts. The bone fracture at the ankle is simpler, so we can just apply plastering after the surgery. The more serious part is at the shoulder. It should be a Colles’ fracture. I think he needs to undergo surgery to receive reduction…” The attending physician of the Orthopedics Department opened up and suggested his plan first.

Ling Ran nodded and accepted it. “Do the plastering for the bone fracture later, pass the Colles’ fracture to Zuo Cidian.”

“Then…” The attending physician of the Orthopedics Department was surprised and pointed at himself.

If this was in the past, he would definitely argue with Ling Ran without bothering about the difficulty of Colles’ fracture. No matter what, it was still considered to be the Orthopedics Department’s work.

However, this was not the first day it was known that Huo Congjun liked snatching over everything in the Emergency Medical Center, while Ling Ran…

Ling Ran was never the sharing kind when it came to surgery.

The young attending physician of the Orthopedics Department was depressed and looked at Ling Ran before he smiled in resignation. “Then, we don’t have any business here.”

“If there’s no other problem with the bone, the Emergency Medical Center can handle the patient’s bone fracture.” Ling Ran’s answer was incredibly clear.

“Alright, then I’ll go back now.” The young attending physician of the Orthopedics Department did not talk much. He turned around and left straightaway.

The attending physician of the General Surgery Department could not hold back his laughter. He said in a semi-joking tone, “Surgical investigation tool.”

“I…” The attending physician of the Orthopedics Department could not help but turn around, then he saw Ling Ran’s side profile, and he could not help but have his words change. “It’s bad if we don’t have work now?”

The attending physician of the General Surgery Department shrugged. “As long as you feel good, then it’s not a problem.”

They naturally were unwilling to have more work, but doctors were weird. Even if they did not want to increase their workload, they would be unhappy if a patient that required their skill sets were given to other people.

The attending physician of the Orthopedics Department became angry. He did not leave, but stood at the front and said, “I’d like to see what work you can get.”

“At least an ascending colon.” The attending physician of the General Surgery Department chuckled and said, “Everyone knows that Doctor Ling does not do intestines…”

“The ascending colon ruptured?”

“Maybe it was pierced through by an iron sheet.” The attending physician of the General Surgery Department raised his head and said, “The exact situation is more complicated, I’m not going to describe it.”

The attending physician of the Orthopedics Department was angry, but could do nothing about it.

Once the attending physician of the General Surgery Department said this, he reported to Ling Ran, “Doctor Ling, the General Surgery Department can do a colon repair. I see that the spleen has been removed, and the stomach seems to be repaired. There’s no need to even mention the few abdominal wounds…”

As he said this, he became depressed. The surgeries had been performed by the Emergency Department, so the space given for the General Surgery Department to survive naturally became smaller…

“When you mentioned colon repair, you mean there is a rupture at the ascending colon?” Ling Ran pointed at the scan, and it clearly showed a ruptured ascending colon.

The attending physician of the General Surgery Department nodded. “The surface area is not big. Later, I will use a laparoscope—”

“I’ve repaired it,” Ling Ran said.

“What?” The attending physician of the General Surgery Department not only was stunned when he heard this, he also thought that Ling Ran was wrong.

Ling Ran only said, “When I performed the surgery just now, I decided to repair it too.”

“You… decided?” The attending physician of the General Surgery Department could not help but make a sarcastic quip. ‘How in the world do you casually decide to repair an ascending colon, given its location?’

However, for Ling Ran, who mastered gastrointestinal perforation repair and right hemicolectomy, a colon repair was not very complicated. It would just easily pollute the operating theater and scrubs.

“If there are no other problems, the General Surgery Department can go back first,” Ling Ran said with a relaxed expression.

The fewer problems they managed to detect, the higher the chance of success for the surgery. The completion speed would be faster too. So, the survival rate of the patient would be higher.

The attending physician of the General Surgery Department took two steps backwards.

The attending physician from the Orthopedist Department deliberately walked past him, smiled, and said, “I’ll go back first. Ascending colon… Haha…”

The attending physician’s features were twisted together, just like a colon.

He looked at Ling Ran angrily. Then, he stared at Ling Ran’s hands and fell into deep thought, ‘It’s truly well done!’

The attending physician of the Orthopedist Department saw his expression, looked in the direction of his gaze, and suddenly lost his interest at laughing at his peer.

They were one of the batches at Yun Hua Hospital which quickly got promoted to attending physicians. As the main force of their department, both of them were just over thirty five years old, and they were at the age where they could climb up the skill tree in the medical world the fastest. They were now the experts in their respective departments.

However, such arrogance, pride, and mocking words thrown at each other instantly became meaningless when they faced Ling Ran.

When the patient was pushed out, it was already sunset. Most of the hospital staff naturally clocked off work as well.

However, the doctors and nurses who walked out from the operating theater had no will to go back home at all or clock off work late. They just did what they needed to do.

Zuo Cidian was waiting outside the shower room and waited for Ling Ran to finish bathing and change his attire. After Ling Ran came out, he chuckled and went to him, “Doctor Ling, the patient’s family came over, and they want to give you a treat to express their gratitude.”

Ling Ran looked at Zuo Cidian in a puzzled manner, “Why did the previous patients’ families not give us a treat?”

If Zuo Cidian were not familiar with Ling Ran, Zuo Cidian would have been defeated by Ling Ran’s question.

“You are trying to ask what’s so special about this patient’s family, right?” Zuo Cidian slightly corrected Ling Ran’s words.

Ling Ran said, “Of course.”

“Hmm…” Zuo Cidian sighed quietly and said, “The patient resuscitated today is an investor from another place. Well… this means he’s pretty capable, and, the patient’s family is truly thankful for this.”

“Oh?”

“They wanted to donate to Yun Hua University School of Medicine.” Zuo Cidian looked at Ling Ran’s expression as he said, “When they first came to me, I ignored them, then they went to Yun Hua University School of Medicine. Dean Wu Junior purposely made a call to me and let me ask for your opinion. ”

Ling Ran thought about this for a while. “It’s okay to meet them, but there is no need for a meal.”

This was the strategy that Ling Ran always carried out. If Ling Ran agreed to have a meal with the people who wanted to treat him, he would probably spend most of his time every day in the restaurant.

Zuo Cidian immediately felt relieved. “Just a meeting will do. How about you fix the time?”

“Tomorrow morning. Come earlier,” Ling Ran said while drying his hair, and he slowly went away.

Zuo Cidian looked at Ling Ran’s back, and he used his foot to write the letters for morning, but it just looked like a very skewed version of a squiggly line written by a bent fork.
