Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 871 Exposed 

“Excuse me.” Lu Wenbin pushed the portable CT scan machine. He carefully put forth the strength in his arms.

The new BodyTom was not hard to push. If it were on the flat floor of Yun Hua Hospital, one person could easily move it. To be on the safe side, two people would move it, with one pushing and the other pulling. They would also have to control their speed.

Bazhaixiang, naturally, could not be compared to tertiary Grade A hospitals in terms of infrastructure. The portable CT scan machine was basically used as a fixed CT scan machine, but it would be moved every day to make it easy for critical patients, and 30% of its function could be said to have been brought into play.

Wei Jiayou observed every detail of the BodyTom with a scrutinizing gaze.

BodyTom was one of the most high-end CT scan machine models, and Wei Jiayou started using them in Beijing a few years ago. At that time, it was even reported by a newspaper.

However, even until now, portable CT scan machines were not common goods. At least half of the provinces among thirty provinces in the country did not even have one, whereas most of the doctors in the country had not even seen this machine before.

However, Wei Jiayou believed that he could distinguish a real and fake BodyTom based on his familiarity with the machine. Wei Jiayou did not know whether there was a fake portable CT scan machine, but he felt it was extremely normal if Bazhaixiang used a fake one. At the very least, it was a second-hand item made to look like a new product.

Wei Jiayou kept observing and staring at it until he heard someone snickering beside him.

Wei Jiayou turned around to look, and he saw a middle-aged doctor smirking at him.

When he saw Wei Jiayou turn around, that middle-aged doctor did not feel embarrassed. Instead, his smile faded away. He looked at Wei Jiayou with empathy and said, “It’s your first time seeing one, right? It’s a portable CT scan machine, so it’s an advanced technology, and it’s ridiculously expensive. It’s quite fun.”

“I’ve seen it before.” Wei Jiayou gritted his teeth.

“You’ve seen it? That’s normal, too. I’ve even seen the throne, mind you. Oh well, why am I saying that to you? Sigh, let me tell you something else. Young men like you all might have seen the world, but when you’re now in a small town and in a lower rank hospital to boot, just do whatever you should, and don’t bite off more than you can chew. Alright, I’ll just stop here. Consider myself to have been too chatty and offended another person. Ah… I just wasted my time talking.”

This middle-aged doctor was Cai Qiong. One of his ways to relieve his depression was to tease other young doctors in the ward area, scold resident doctors, and educate housemen and interns. These could make him feel happier and persist for one more day.

Cai Qiong used this way to insist on not resigning, but the only consequence was that after ten to twenty years, the young doctors he teased previously had become attending physicians and even held the position of associate chief physicians, and this made his living environment outside the General Surgery Department more difficult…

However, Cai Qiong should retire in another twenty years.

Therefore, when he saw a good-looking doctor daydreaming, Cai Qiong took the opportunity to give his “advice”. He left right after he finished talking to prevent the doctor from defending himself and affecting his mood.

For Cai Qiong, such handsome doctors really affected people’s emotions sometimes.

“He seems quite familiar.” Cai Qiong frowned slightly when he was far away.

Wei Jiayou was basically fuming, especially when he lowered his head and saw Yu Yuan covering her mouth while giggling. Wei Jiayou felt so angry that he was shivering.

But his pride did not allow him to fly off in a rage.

Yu Yuan continued leading the way in front, and her movements became lighter.

“Go in. After showering, you can look for Doctor Ling in the operating theater.” Yu Yuan asked for scrubs, keys, and other items from Nurse Liu, who was in charge of guarding the place today. Then, she passed them to Wei Jiayou and gave him another piece of advice, “We are now performing surgeries back to back. Doctor Ling has a high requirement toward aseptic operations, so pay more attention to that. Don’t let the circulating nurse catch and chase you out, or else, it’ll be very awkward for you.”

“I got it,” Wei Jiayou answered in a muffled voice.

Yu Yuan saw him enter in the manner of someone who was not very bright in the head, and she could not help but sigh. “What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t wear perfume. If they recognize you and know that you’re a doctor from another hospital, the nurse will not be polite.”

Yun Hua Hospital was also the top hospital in the region. Throughout the year, hundreds to thousands of doctors came for in-service training, and there were even more people who went to observe Ling Ran’s operations. Ling Ran had high requirements as well, hence, the nurses who were familiar with Ling Ran and often set things up for him were really strict when they needed to be strict.

Wei Jiayou pursed his lips and lowered his voice. “Eau de Gentiane Blanche is very mild, and it does not affect the surgery…”

“You can make the decisions all you want if you’re the chief surgeon. If you’re not, don’t put the blame on others when you get scolded. ” Yu Yuan acted like she had already warned him.

Wei Jiayou stood at the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, “Even if I don’t wear the perfume, there will still be some scent lingering.”

“What?”

“I’ve worn it for quite a long time, so maybe I’m stained with its scent. It’s impossible to wash it away after a bath,” Wei Jiayou explained helplessly.

Yu Yuan almost burst into uncontrollable laughter. “So, you’re pickled!”

Wei Jiayou’s expression became stiff, and he quickly rushed into the shower room.

..…

In the operating theater, Ling Ran started the second surgery in the afternoon.

Once plenty of equipment, as well as new instruments, were sent into the operating theater and after they changed the rules for continuous surgery, Ling Ran alternated between using two operating theaters, and his surgical volume every day was 50% of the surgeries performed in Yun Hua Hospital.

Naturally, he included minor surgeries like debridement in the Emergency Department. The advantage in it was that his assistants could rest more. There were only two operating theaters anyway, and the doctors who were not on duty could all wake up naturally in the morning before they went for an unprotected sleep. There was absolutely no issue whatsoever in them waking up when the sky was bright, after all.

Ling Ran himself would perform the surgery as meticulously as possible.

The Perfect Surgery mission was not really a mission to him, but more like a reminder.

Ling Ran himself chased after perfection, but the high number of patients and surgeries unintentionally generated a large amount of stress on him, and it caused Ling Ran to be indecisive.

Right now, now that he was in a Bazhaixiang that still suffered through geographical limitations but the patients’ need for surgery was not high, Ling Ran could naturally complete the Perfect Surgery mission.

From Ling Ran’s perspective, performing perfect surgery did not mean completing every surgical step accordingly but taking more flexible measures that were more suitable for the patient.

In the operating theater, Ling Ran decided to first pay close attention to the exposure of the liver surgery.

Usually, when he did a surgery, Ling Ran used the bilateral subcostal incision the most, which meant that he would perform a V-shaped incision on the patient’s tummy, then open up the abdomen above the belly button.

The exposure in that method was good, and it pretty much provided a very high coefficient of safety when used in highly difficult surgery like a hepatectomy. However, if he wanted to become even better, that kind of incision would basically destroy all the muscles in the upper abdomen. The patient would have a hard time recovering, and it also easily caused psychological expectation for a surgery, which would deal heavy damage to the body. It was not considered the perfect choice.

It was especially so when he faced a tumor at the border of the liver or had to perform hepatectomy on a smaller part of the liver. In truth, he could absolutely use a small incision for the surgery.

As Ling Ran thought in this way, he stared at the patient’s CT scan and made a small incision at the right costal margin.

“Huh? You’re making such a small incision?” Ma Yanlin the assistant was stunned.

“Yes, for the surgery today, this incision is enough.” Ling Ran’s tone was confident and firm.

The young nurses in the operating theater heard the voice and looked at Ling Ran. Then, they squealed in their hearts.
