Ten o'clock in the morning
While everyone was busy working, Doctor Zhou walked out of the resuscitation room while everyone was busy.
He tossed the bloody gloves aside, took off his cap, and wiped his hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. When he looked up, he saw Zuo Cidian walking out of the Debridement Room not far away in a daze.
"The patient in bed 102 has been discharged?" Even though Doctor Zhou did not do many things, he knew a lot about the things that happened in the Emergency Medical Center.
Zuo Cidian nodded tiredly. He was much older than the doctors in his group. He had been working from five or six in the morning until now, and he was almost at his limit.
If it had been a while ago, he would have spent half of his time doing things like preoperative conversations, and it would have been easier for him to pass the time. However, most of his time today was spent on surgeries, and he felt like his head was about to hurt.
Doctor Zhou also noticed Zuo Cidian's condition, and he could not help but smile. "The patient in Room 102 hasn't paid his hospital fees yet, right?"
"He really doesn't have money." Zuo Cidian sighed.
"Not much medical insurance coverage?"
"Their household registration is not in Yun Hua, and they used self-paid medicine. The reimbursement rate is less than half." Zuo Cidian also tried his best to help reduce the expenses. For example, nursing fees, medicine replacement fees, and so on, he had done his best to avoid these expenses. But compared to these, the low reimbursement rate for non-local accounts was the most troublesome part.
"If you can't even pay before the surgery, it's even more impossible for you to pay after the surgery." Doctor Zhou did not talk about psychological or philosophical issues with Zuo Cidian. He just described the reality.
Zuo Cidian also knew the reality.
"Did you pay for it?" Doctor Zhou looked at Zuo Cidian's expression. He knew what Zuo Cidian was thinking under his collarbone even with his palm.
"Not yet. The finance department is calculating it, and we're dragging it on. I reckon that we'll only be able to make up for it after two or three months … "Zuo Cidian answered with a stiff expression.
Doctor Zhou said, "That's not too bad. The grandsons of the finance department are acting like human beings. How much? "
"If you come to me, it'll be around a few tens of thousands. I don't know. When the time comes, we'll have to see how much the department can give us. "
"Aren't you the one who decides the department's accounts?" When Doctor Zhou said this, he came to a realization on his own. He clicked his tongue a few times and said, "Are you sorry for embezzlement?"
Zuo Cidian shook his head. "No need. It's not that I don't have money, it's just that I have to give birth to tens of thousands of yuan. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. Wouldn't it be better to buy a Black Water Ghost? "
Doctor Zhou chuckled. He was not envious of Zuo Cidian's extravagance. Zuo Cidian was rich because he worked as a freelance surgeon with Ling Ran. To have time to work as a freelance surgeon, the doctors in Ling Ran's treatment group worked from dawn to dusk, and almost all of them stayed in the hospital. This kind of life was not what he wanted.
Doctor Zhou glanced at Zuo Cidian again and asked calmly, "You're planning to earn money from Black Water Ghost, right?"
"Doctor Ling has already opened the back door for us. We can't not know what's good for us." Zuo Cidian was talking about the hospital beds and the source of patients.
In any hospital, there was a shortage of hospital beds, and it was especially so in the Ling Treatment Group.
For low-ranking doctors like Zuo Cidian, if they wanted to be the chief surgeon for a surgery, they could not just rely on their own ideas. First, there must be a source of patients. Second, there must be beds.
Compared to the source of patients, the scarcity of beds was much higher.
After Zuo Cidian paid for the patients out of his own pocket, Ling Ran temporarily arranged five hospital beds for Zuo Cidian.
These five hospital beds were not for five patients. If a patient left, another patient would be added to the hospital bed.
Zuo Cidian used all his time to treat patients with Colles' fractures. The average stay time of the patients was only about three days. After more than a week, he had treated quite a few patients.
This was especially so for these surgeries. He often had Ling Ran's help and even acted as an assistant to guide him. Zuo Cidian was also gaining skill points at a rapid pace.
Compared to the direct and clear income, the growth of skills that he mastered actually made Zuo Cidian feel more at ease.
Doctor Zhou also saw it, and he smiled. "Do you think it's a blessing in disguise?"
"I'm just a lowly resident doctor." At this moment, Zuo Cidian showed a smile that he knew very well.
Doctor Zhou was a little familiar with Old Zuo now. He could not help but look at him in a higher light. He asked, "Your skills in the Orthopedics Department have reached such a level that you can call yourself lowly?"
"It's just Colles' fracture."
"If you can treat all kinds of fractures, wouldn't you be able to open an orthopedics clinic?"
Zuo Cidian was stunned. He immediately laughed in a self-deprecating manner. "It's a good career after retirement. Unfortunately, I can't do it anymore."
…..
At the same time, Ling Ran, who had just finished a surgery and was tearing his surgical gown, heard a "ding" in his mind.
"Wait." Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows. He did not want to be disturbed when he took off his surgical gown after surgery.
The system, which was about to issue a mission, instantly froze.
Ling Ran tore off his surgical gown, threw it into the trash can, and slept with his gloves. Then, he walked out of the passage and took off his scrubs in a separate shower room. Then, he washed up comfortably. Only then did the system let out another "ding" that lowered the temperature by an octave.
"Okay." Ling Ran nodded as he applied the shampoo.
The system immediately released a mission in front of Ling Ran.
[Mission: Adjustment]
[Mission Details: Your subordinate, Zuo Cidian, wants to learn a variety of fracture techniques. It's more suitable for him to learn some simple surgeries to adjust his skills during complicated surgeries. Whenever you teach a skill to your subordinate and achieve Specialist Level, you can unlock the next fracture technique.]
[Reward for the next stage of the mission: Latarjet Technique (Master Level)]
Ling Ran nodded. He rinsed off the shampoo and accepted the mission.
Then, the system let out another "ding" that lowered the temperature by 16 degrees.
[Mission Completed: Adjustment (1)]
[Reward: Latarjet Technique (Master Level)]
Ling Ran shook off the foam on his face and asked directly, "Has Zuo Cidian's technique for Colles' fracture reached Specialist Level?
"Yes." The system's answer was still very concise, and it sounded very cool.
"The surgeries weren't done in vain." Ling Ran was a little satisfied.
Although Zuo Cidian did not have any talent in surgery, he was still very mature and knew how to cherish resources. In conclusion, Zuo Cidian had indeed spent a lot of time to master Colles' fracture, but if one were to look into it, the number of hospital beds he used was not out of line.
Moreover, Ling Ran's allocation of hospital beds was not based on talent.
When it came to talent, Lu Wenbin and the others were not particularly outstanding.
Even if Ling Ran wanted to choose a young doctor with outstanding talent, it was actually very difficult.
Nowadays, when young people had a choice, they would rarely choose medical schools. And the hospital's screening system did not prioritize talent and intelligence. The most important thing was whether a person's body could withstand work, and whether his spirit could withstand leadership.
With the current size of the Ling Treatment Group, if Ling Ran wanted to select people based on outstanding talent, he would not be able to find many people.
This was especially so when it came to the definition of outstanding. Ling Ran's judgment was not very standard.
Ling Ran quickly finished showering, picked up his phone, and dialed Zuo Cidian's number. "Pay attention to patients with indications for Latarjet Technique from today onwards. I'll teach you tomorrow."
"Yes! Okay! " Zuo Cidian, who had just laid down on the bed, put down his phone, and tears flowed down the ravine on his face.
