"Department Director Huo, it's just a physical examination. It's just an MRI scan. Why are you so nervous?" The young nurse on duty had a shrewish personality. She took advantage of her young age to speak carelessly to the department director.
At Huo Congjun's age, he naturally smiled when he saw a young girl in her early twenties. However, there was a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth as he deliberately complained, "There's no need for an MRI scan for a physical examination. The one who requested for an MRI scan should be Ling Ran, right? "
"Doctor Ling is just concerned about you." The department director had guessed it, and the young girl did not have to hide it.
Huo Congjun snorted and said, "You young people know what it means to care about others. You won't be able to experience it until you're my age … "
As he lamented, he saw the young girl in front of him pursing her lips and giggling. He could not help but frown and ask curiously, "Which part of what I said was a joke?"
"You young people."
"You can't use this form of address now?" Huo Congjun was very surprised.
"What kind of address is this?"
"It's like a term like little princess."
"What are you thinking about?" The young girl acted coquettishly and said, "I'm laughing because when you say 'you young people', you include me and Doctor Ling."
Huo Congjun said sarcastically, "How long has it been? Even if Ling Ran is handsome, he should be handsome enough, right?"
"No, he's still as handsome as before." The young nurse cupped her hands.
Huo Congjun chuckled and took the initiative to lie on the metal bed of the MRI machine.
The young nurse performed another examination before she pushed the door open and went out.
Soon, the rumbling noise of the MRI machine could be heard.
Speaking of which, MRI was truly high-tech. It could even be called black technology. Its principle was to use atomic nuclei to resonate in a magnetic field to reconstruct the image.
It sounded like a problem that could be solved with a strong magnetic field, but in fact, it involved at least two Nobel Prizes.
The first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1944. It was awarded for the discovery in the 1930s that atomic nuclei in a magnetic field would be arranged in an orderly and parallel manner in the direction of the magnetic field. After the application of radio waves, the atomic nuclei's spin direction would be flipped.
The second Nobel Prize was awarded in 1952. It was awarded for the discovery in 1946. If atomic nuclei with an odd number of nuclei were placed in a magnetic field, and a radio frequency field of a specific frequency was applied, the atomic nuclei would absorb the energy of the radio frequency field.
After that, they still needed to invest in basic research before they could slowly establish the foundation of the MRI machine.
In 1974, Lobo Locher and his team produced the famous MRI image "Nottingham's Orange." Not to mention how much money it would cost to build a 0.15T MRI machine with their bare hands, just the team of more than a dozen people and maintaining it for more than a decade was already a staggering project expenditure.
Before patients could get an MRI scan in the hospital, more professional terms were needed to be added to the MRI scan. For example, the Fourier transform, superconductivity, surface coils, and active shielding …
It could be said that nuclear magnetic resonance was an instrument that truly reflected the development of modern science and technology. It was also a great application of modern science, especially basic science.
If someone were to ask, what was the point of investing so much money in science, especially basic science that seemed to be useless? If he used an MRI scan as an example, he could politely reply, "Truth be told, it can be used to save your mother."
Of course, most people did not believe that they needed to be saved.
Just like Huo Congjun, who came out of the MRI scan, still said unhappily, "I'm really fine. Forget it, I'll do a check-up to make you feel at ease."
"It's best if you're fine." The young nurse pretended to be cute and quickly led the department director out. There were many patients waiting to be treated, especially after Ling Ran came back. All the MRI machines in the hospital could not wait to work for twenty-five hours a day.
"Where's Ling Ran?" Huo Congjun came out, cleared his throat, and asked.
"Doctor Ling is in the office." The young nurse covered her mouth and smiled.
Huo Congjun saw it and could not help but frown. "What are you laughing at?"
"I just feel that Department Director Huo, you're acting like you're living a normal life at this time."
Huo Congjun sighed and walked to the office as he said, "I really don't understand what you young people are talking about."
When the young nurse said that, she was a little nervous. She actually wanted to say that Huo Congjun was like an old man brought by his family to see a doctor, and the moment he went out, he would look for someone to take care of him.
However, no matter how naive and naive she was, she knew that she must restrain herself when she teased Department Director Huo. In the words of the head nurse, she should act coquettishly in front of her father whenever she could, but she had to think twice before doing so.
The young nurse thought about it and felt that if she described Department Director Huo as an old man, she would most likely be scolded like a piece of rotten meat.
"Living a normal life means that you're approachable." The young nurse made up a story to cover up for what she said.
Huo Congjun would not delve into it.
When he arrived at the office area, he put his hands behind his back, and a dignified aura rose from his tailbone. When he entered the office, he already had an imposing manner.
The young doctors who came and went were silent, and they even tiptoed when they walked.
Huo Congjun raised his head slightly and looked over. He saw Ling Ran facing the computer and quickly reading the cases and medical history.
He had been out for a few days, and all the patients who should be discharged had been discharged. Those who stayed were mostly those whose conditions had changed and relapsed. This was also a very normal situation. As the number of patients treated increased, even if the cure rate was ninety percent, it still meant that there would be dozens or even hundreds of patients who could not be completely cured every month. The probability of various complications or changes in their conditions would be higher.
Ling Ran read very carefully. He was very used to obtaining information from reading.
Of course, this required the doctors under him to spend more time and effort when they wrote the cases and medical history.
Huo Congjun looked at Ling Ran's tall and straight back, and he could not help but nod secretly. If there were doctors like Ling Ran in his Emergency Department, he would not have to worry about not being able to have a big Emergency Department.
"Department Director Huo is here?" Doctor Zhou originally came to rest, go to the toilet, drink some water, eat something to replenish his nutrition, and then go back to work after a short rest. When he saw Huo Congjun, his face was full of righteousness and calmness.
He also had experience. In the office, whoever behaved like a mouse would be a mouse, and whoever behaved righteously could be Ling Ran.
"Yes." Huo Congjun glanced at Doctor Zhou and did not say much. Instead, he said to Ling Ran, who turned around, "Ling Ran, you're back. Why didn't you rest for a day?"
"I rested on the way," Ling Ran answered naturally. He then asked, "What's the result of your examination?"
"I'm still in good health." Huo Congjun waved his hand and said, "At my age, I should take care of my body, but it's not to the extent where I need your care."
"Are the scans out?" Ling Ran did not care about his "main complaint" at all.
"Not yet," the young nurse who followed him answered with a smile.
"Then when they're out …"
"When they're out, just hand them to me." Huo Congjun turned around and gave an order. He then said to Ling Ran, "You don't have to worry about me. I know how my body is."
Ling Ran did not agree or disagree. He changed the topic and said, "Department director, why don't you arrange a few more heart surgeries for me?"
Ling Ran might have wanted to use his skills to prove something, but Huo Congjun had never been able to refuse such a request. He could not just watch Ling Ran be stuck in liver surgery. If Ling Ran was prepared to devote himself to research in the field of the liver, Huo Congjun would only support him. But if he wanted to expand the scope of his research, Huo Congjun would naturally support him.
"Alright." Huo Congjun sighed, but for some reason, he felt much better.
