"It's done." Ling Ran inserted the scalpel into the plate, and his tone was light.
Cardiac bypass surgery was the most standard and typical major cardiac surgery. Completing this surgery was also very meaningful for him.
Department Director Kang was different. His liver was trembling, and his heart was trembling as he repeated, "I'm done."
If it were not for the fact that his liver and heart were both in Ling Ran's strike zone, Department Director Kang would have let them tremble for a while more, let the sadness flow like a river, and let himself release his emotions for another five minutes …
He was not feeling emotional about Ling Ran's good surgery. He could not care about that now. Department Director Kang was now racing against time to feel emotional about his ill-fated life, the difficult path of medicine, and the tortuous path of becoming a department director …
He was born a genius. When he was still in university, he was the famous Bold Kang and a divine anatomist in his class. During his internship and residency period, he was also the best among his peers. That was how he got the opportunity to enter the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. He did not expect the tables to turn. With the development of technology, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery began to decline in the past twenty years, even though the medical system in the country was booming.
He, Bold Kang, worked hard to become an associate chief physician, and was promoted to department director. From then on, he climbed to the peak of his life, but the department he controlled was losing in the competition of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, which was becoming more and more inflexible.
It could not be helped. Thoracotomy sounded scary and looked even scarier. Even if interventional radiology and ablation technology could not guarantee a higher cure rate and safety, patients would still choose interventional radiology and ablation first.
Actually, he could only accept all of this.
What he could not understand was Ling Ran!
Why would a handsome man become a doctor? He was a doctor and wore a white coat, so why would he still work hard? It was fine if he worked hard, but why would his hard work produce results?
It was as if God was taking care of Ling Ran's degenerative brain disease. There was no logic to it at all!
"Doctor Li, come and help." Lu Wenbin operated the retractor with Ling Ran for a long time, but he still did not dare to touch anything. When it was the final stage, he directly called Li Liang, the attending physician in front of him, over.
Lu Wenbin could guess the thoughts of Department Director Kang and everyone in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery because he had seen too many of them. He did not care about it.
Now that the main part of the surgery was completed, Department Director Kang could pretend that he did not hear him even if he was unhappy when he asked for Li Liang's help.
After all, Li Liang was not used to it, so he looked at Department Director Kang with a stutter. He behaved like a patient who was unfamiliar with surgery. Although he was about to be operated on, he still did not know what he was going to face.
Department Director Kang was the same, but he was the kind of patient who understood a little. At this moment, his eyes were already lifeless as he muttered, 'If this continues, in less than three months, Ling Ran and Huo Congjun will be able to destroy the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.'
Take the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Yun Hua Hospital for example. The standard was not high to begin with, and the department was small. In reality, the types of surgeries they carried out were far fewer than what they displayed.
Cardiac bypass surgery was their main surgical method. In fact, for a small department with only a dozen or so doctors, having one or two main surgical methods was enough.
Department Director Kang could imagine that with Ling Ran's current skills, he could easily get a team of people and two traitors to carry out professional heart bypass surgery.
He did not need to perform other surgeries and just focused on performing bypass surgery. His reputation might increase even faster, and the department's income might also increase even faster.
There was no such thing as an all-rounded patient. At that time, word of mouth would spread, and patients who needed heart bypass surgery would gather. It could be said that success would come naturally when the conditions were right.
"Department Director Kang, I'll go and rest first. See you later." Ling Ran looked at Lu Wenbin and Li Liang as they tightened the sternum with steel wires. He was relieved.
He did not have much interest in a large-scale suturing scene.
Department Director Kang quickly replied, "See you later." Then, he reacted and looked at Zuo Cidian. He said in a resigned tone, "Doctor Ling said that he'll see you later. Does he mean that he's going to perform surgery later?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Zuo Cidian said as he took out his phone, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I have to call Department Director Huo."
"Say … what?"
"Doctor Ling performed a complete heart bypass surgery. The surgery should be successful, right?" Zuo Cidian asked even though he already knew the answer.
"The patient has been released from extracorporeal circulation, but we can only say whether it's a success or not after he wakes up." Department Director Kang was unwilling to admit it, so he said, "It's best to observe him for one or two days. If it's confirmed that he doesn't need to enter the uterus again, then the surgery can be said to be a success."
Zuo Cidian was too confident in Ling Ran. Or rather, he had seen many cases where Ling Ran used his "talent" to learn surgeries and become famous overnight. So, he only smiled and said, "I thought that Doctor Ling's operation just now was approved by Department Director Kang."
"Doctor Ling's maneuvers are indeed quite good …" Department Director Kang hummed and hawed a few times before he said, "All of us doctors know that surgical maneuvers are important, but whether the surgery is successful or not, it still depends on the actual results, don't you agree?"
"I don't know anything about cardiovascular surgery." Zuo Cidian smiled, raised his phone, and said apologetically, "The call went through, I'm sorry."
"Okay …" Department Director Kang felt that he was ignored. He turned around, but he smiled self-deprecatingly.
Whether he was ignored or not, Ling Ran performed the surgery smoothly, and his skills were obviously better than Department Director Kang's.
Department Director Kang could not find out how Ling Ran practiced his skills in cardiovascular surgery, but he believed that Ling Ran did not learn it on a whim, and it was even more impossible for Ling Ran to learn cardiovascular surgery just because Huo Congjun's heart had a problem. Department Director Kang was very clear about the difficulty of cardiovascular surgery and how much it consumed geniuses. If he dared to use his department as a bet, Ling Ran and Huo Congjun must have deliberately planned this beforehand.
When he thought of this, Department Director Kang felt sad again. 'Why do you have to do this? Our Department of Cardiovascular Surgery is so weak that it can be considered useless in Yun Hua Hospital, and you actually want to take it over?'
"Department Director Kang." Zuo Cidian came back from outside.
"Doctor Zuo." Department Director Kang's face was serious.
"Department Director Huo asked if it's convenient for Doctor Ling to be the chief surgeon for the next surgery, and it will be broadcasted on Yun Hua Hospital's platform." Zuo Cidian smiled and said, "We contacted a few doctors we are familiar with, and they can help us take a look at Doctor Ling's skills."
Department Director Kang thought, 'Does this mean that my skills can no longer guide Ling Ran?'
After thinking about it carefully, Department Director Kang admitted that he could not guide Ling Ran.
So, Department Director Kang nodded quietly and asked, "Who are the doctors?"
"Professor Tong Gao Yi, Professor Wang Tian, and Professor Yao Jiapin." Zuo Cidian only needed to say their names. He did not need to mention the hospital, and it was enough for Department Director Kang to know who Huo Congjun invited.
"Department Director Huo wants to establish a foothold in Southeast China and spread to the whole country." Department Director Kang was a little envious and nostalgic. If he had broken through the ceiling of a young genius in the past, he might have received the same treatment.
He could show his face in front of a few experts, participate in all kinds of related academic activities, publish articles, and then show his face again. He might have seen a different world.
