Ling Ran got off work on time, went home for dinner, and prepared for surgery.
Recently, Ling Ran had been staying in the hospital for two days and resting for one day. He would either use the two or three days of rest time in his clinic or go to other places for freelance surgery.
This was also the daily routine of ordinary high-end doctors, especially those who were slightly famous. They used freelance surgery on their rest days to supplement their family expenses, and they also used freelance surgery on their rest days to practice so that they would not be rusty.
Ling Ran felt the same way. He had already leveled up in hepatectomy, the surgery he performed most often. His skills in other surgeries such as finger replantation, Achilles tendon repair, splenectomy, orchiectomy, and other surgeries were very limited.
In comparison, the Achilles tendon repair technique was considered a higher level skill that Ling Ran had mastered. Through Lower Groove Clinic, Ling Ran could continuously develop Achilles tendon repair techniques, and his skill reserve could continue to grow.
"Doctor Ling, you're back." When he heard the sound of the Volkswagen Jetta's engine, the first person to come out to greet him was Miao Tansheng.
"Yes, is the patient ready?" When Ling Ran saw Miao Tansheng, the first thing he asked was about surgery.
"Um … Doctor Ling, do you want to drink some soup first? Madam Tao cooked a big pot of gumbo today, and she invited everyone to drink it … "
Ling Ran stopped in his tracks. Ling Ran was very familiar with Miao Tansheng's behavior of looking around. When he was in school, there were often girls who beat around the bush and talked about some useless information. Then, when the truth was revealed, they would give him gifts or even love letters.
Ling Ran glanced at Miao Tansheng and knew that he was hiding something from him.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Ling Ran's attitude was also very straightforward. He said, "Make it simple."
Miao Tansheng looked a little helpless and said, "To make it simple, today's patient ran away."
"Ran away?" Ling Ran did not expect the topic to change in this direction. He asked, "The patient is a sixteen-year-old girl, right?"
"Yes."
"Is this equivalent to running away from home?" Ling Ran did not wait for Miao Tansheng to answer this question. He continued to ask, "Did you find the patient? Did you call the police? "
"Found her." Miao Tansheng shrugged, sighed, and said, "But this is the problem."
"Hmm?"
"The patient's family has now brought it up. They want to see other hospitals and doctors to find a second opinion." Miao Tansheng said these words in one breath, and he finally felt a little more relaxed. He added carefully, "I reckon that the patient still hopes to have a small wound and a strong Achilles tendon."
Ling Ran did not comment on this. He asked, "Did you explain it to them?"
"I explained it to you on the phone. Because we can only communicate by phone. " Miao Tansheng hurriedly explained and said, "I also warned them. Visiting a doctor is not like going shopping. It's impossible for them to compare each other like this. But their attitude was more resolute and polite, but they refused to come over for the surgery."
"It doesn't matter if you don't do it." When Ling Ran heard this, he understood the development of the situation. He naturally took out his phone and said, "If there are no more patients arranged, I'll play the game."
"Okay … that … you're not angry?" Miao Tansheng half-closed his eyes, ready to scold.
If the request had been made two days before the operation, he would still have had time to rearrange the operation and personnel.
However, before the operating table, the patient ran away, and Miao Tansheng could not make up for it.
Ling Ran shook his head. "It's normal for the patient to have new ideas. Besides, this sixteen-year-old patient is very risky to perform a surgery with a large incision. It might be the right choice not to do it."
"Huh? Is there a big risk?"
"Yes. The patient's Achilles tendon is relatively short, and the arrangement of her bones and muscles is not very beautiful. So, this patient is not a very talented dancer. If she wants to gain more benefits through dancing, there is a bigger risk." While Ling Ran spoke, he opened Kings of Glory on his phone and said, "Using minimally invasive surgery, trying not to leave a scar, and changing a hobby may be a more suitable choice."
Miao Tansheng was stunned. "When you met the patient's family, you didn't say that. It's too surprising."
"Talent cannot be equated with achievements." Ling Ran shook his head. "Poor talent does not mean that she can't have higher achievements. The patient's Achilles tendon ruptured because the quality of her Achilles tendon is not good. It's naturally short and not strong enough. But maybe it's because she is not talented that the patient practiced so hard, causing her Achilles tendon rupture. "
Miao Tansheng muttered to himself, "I actually think that what you said makes sense. I …"
Ling Ran had already lowered his head and focused his attention on the game again.
Two days later.
The weather was clear, and the sun was bright.
Not long after Ling Ran arrived at the hospital, he started to enjoy the plain porridge with sixteen side dishes given by Tian Qi. Then, he saw his phone screen light up.
"The king sent me to patrol the mountains …"
The voice on the phone was loud and clear, and it instantly pulled people away from the lively atmosphere of eating.
"Hello." Ling Ran had to put down his chopsticks and pick up the phone.
"Doctor Ling, I'm Wang Chuanwen." Wang Chuanwen's laughter sounded very familiar.
In fact, Wang Chuanwen and Ling Ran were indeed familiar with each other. After Wang Chuanwen donated to Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, he appeared a lot in the process of building the ICU. On the one hand, he did not want the money he donated to go to waste. On the other hand, he was also actively building a relationship with the doctors.
Especially building a relationship with Ling Ran.
And the work he did could be said to be fruitful. At the very least, Ling Ran's familiarity with him had greatly increased.
"Go ahead." Ling Ran held the phone and looked at the plain porridge.
"I have a friend whose daughter is sixteen years old this year. Her Achilles tendon ruptured because of dancing. He should have looked for you before, but he did not persist …" Wang Chuanwen chuckled and said, "He still wants to look for you to operate on his daughter, but he's a little embarrassed. He's afraid that you won't accept it, so he came to me."
"Is this friend of yours President Pei?" Ling Ran asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. Do you remember him?"
"Of course. When I was about to perform the surgery, the patient ran away." For Ling Ran, this should be a very creative and very memorable move.
Wang Chuanwen could not help but feel a little regretful. He quickly said, "Ah, I didn't know that was the case. Ah, President Pei, this guy didn't explain clearly. If he did, I wouldn't have come to persuade him … "
"How's the patient's condition?" Ling Ran interrupted Wang Chuanwen's long-winded speech.
Wang Chuanwen hesitated for a moment and said, "His daughter's condition is not very good, and her foot is also swollen. He wants to perform minimally invasive surgery and continue to dance, but all the hospitals dare not agree …"
"If it's minimally invasive surgery, I won't do it," Ling Ran immediately answered. There were many doctors who could perform minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair, and for him, there was too little challenge.
Wang Chuanwen quickly said, "No, no, they still want to operate on her. Let's do as you said …"
"Send her to Yun Hua Hospital first."
"You agreed?"
"Yes." Ling Ran always answered with certainty.
When Wang Chuanwen heard Ling Ran's words, he only felt a sense of satisfaction. He suddenly felt that donating money to the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital might be one of the best decisions he made.
