The department director of the General Surgery Department of Taiwu Central Hospital did not come very quickly. He only rushed over after about an hour.
During this period, Luo Guan was so anxious that he was like a eunuch on a hot pan. He apologized and comforted him several times.
"I'm sorry, I was performing surgery when I picked up the call, and I really couldn't leave." The department director of the General Surgery Department, Liang Xue, was almost sixty years old. He also said sincerely, "Nowadays, we use the da Vinci robot. It's useful and has its uses, but it's not easy to find someone to take over. The doctors under me can't handle it."
"Our department director is performing a duodenectomy today, and we can't handle it." An associate chief physician who came with him was responsible for smiling and explaining for the department director.
"However, I've arranged the patients and the operating theater. If Doctor Ling wants to perform surgery, he can do it at any time." The department director of the General Surgery Department, Liang Xue, hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, it's still according to freelance surgery …"
When Zuo Cidian heard this, he shook his head and said, "You're too kind. Doctor Ling just wants to perform surgery, and there's no need to pay."
Both parties looked at each other and sighed softly. Then, they laughed.
Department director Liang Xue relaxed a little. Freelance surgeries had to be arranged in advance and discussed with the patient's family members. Nowadays, when it came to a hospital like Taiwu Central Hospital, most of the time, only patients who knew a thing or two about the field and had a good relationship with the attending physician would be arranged for freelance surgeries. It was equivalent to the risk of compliance, and the mutual trust between both parties was used to offset part of the risk.
Zuo Cidian suddenly proposed to perform surgery. It was very easy for the General Surgery Department to find patients and prepare medical records. There were many patients in the department waiting for hospital beds. At most, they just needed to call to inform them and seize the time to do a checkup. In contrast, the freelance surgery fee became a problem.
If they did not pay, they would feel that they were not sincere. If they paid, they could not let the patients who did not want to perform freelance surgery pay tens of thousands of RMB. In fact, even if the patients were willing to pay, in this case, the doctors might not dare to accept it. The risk was too high, and for the doctors of Taiwu Central Hospital, it was not worth it.
Liang Xue was originally prepared to let the department or himself pay for it. When he saw that Zuo Cidian clearly said that he did not want it, he was naturally much more relaxed, and he felt like he saved more than one hundred thousand RMB.
However, Liang Xue immediately thought of something and quickly said, "It's indeed not convenient this time. If Doctor Ling is free in the future, we can arrange freelance surgery. We'll do it according to the rules …"
"We basically have plans for the next two months." Zuo Cidian waved his hand and said, "Department Director Liang, don't think too much about it. Doctor Ling's hands are just itchy. You'll know when you see him later …"
"Speaking of which, when you guys came, I was also performing surgery. I didn't even get to see you." Liang Xue revealed everything and followed Zuo Cidian into his own meeting room.
In the space of a hundred square meters, there were many light boxes, and all of them were hung with video clips. The middle-aged doctor was busy introducing the situation and helping out. He seemed to be very happy.
The learning phase of the da Vinci robot had ended, and the middle-aged doctor finally returned to his original position. He began to lick Ling Ran's boots, and he felt exceptionally comfortable and at ease.
"Doctor Ling is quite happy with the patient's information that you just sent over. He immediately instructed his team to read the medical records and scans and discuss the plan." Zuo Cidian gave Department Director Liang a brief introduction of the current situation before he served Liang Xueyi a cup of tea.
Ling Ran was very happy to see him. He did not let Liang Xue wait for long before he walked over.
Liang Xue immediately felt much more at ease.
To be honest, he was even more impatient than Luo Guan had expected. The General Surgery Department was the core department of Taiwu Central Hospital. As the department director, Liang Xue had long been qualified or had the opportunity to participate in the designated guidelines. However, qualification and opportunity were one thing. Whether he could grasp it or not, and whether he had the qualifications were another matter.
Liang Xue used to be more inclined toward clinical work, and in recent years, he was attracted by the da Vinci robot. He invested more in this area, and he invested less in traditional skills.
Moreover, he was still young at that time, and he always thought that he still had a chance. However, academia was a place that relied on qualifications, and it was even more difficult for him to enter when he was older than when he was younger.
The reality was that the closer one was to achieving success, the more anxious and anxious a person would be. It was just like how associate chief physicians in hospitals were always the most anxious and hardworking, and associate professors in schools were always the most serious and devoted. Even when they were in their fifties, sixties, or seventies, prospective academicians were the most active in participating in various activities.
In Liang Xue's opinion, Ling Ran was strong and had a strong background. Regardless of his age, he was someone who had produced the consensus of the experts. Now that he had produced another version, the success rate was naturally high. As long as he could participate in this once, his subsequent work would obviously be smoother.
As for the fact that he would be associated with Ling Ran because of this, he actually did not care that much.
"Doctor Ling, which one do you want to choose for the first surgery?" Liang Xue did not know Ling Ran, so he just talked about the patient and the surgery.
Ling Ran seamlessly connected the dots and said with a smile, "Whichever patient is ready first."
"Hmm …" Liang Xue suddenly did not know how to continue the conversation.
Zuo Cidian secretly facepalmed and thought, 'The familiar Doctor Ling is indeed not easy to talk to.'
Zuo Cidian turned around and quickly explained, "The three patients who are preparing for surgery here are all preoperative preparations."
Department Director Liang Xue was slightly relieved. "That's fast."
The patients were patients of the General Surgery Department, and the General Surgery Department was naturally the one who took care of everything in the end. Therefore, as the department director, Liang Xue naturally hoped that Ling Ran could treat surgeries seriously. It was necessary to strive to become a "specialist", but he also did not want to encounter some unfortunate things.
As Liang Xue spoke, he glanced at the subordinate doctor he knew.
The middle-aged doctor's gluteus medius tightened, and his brain worked 8.57 times faster than usual before he managed to say, "Doctor Ling's team is very professional, especially Doctor Ling's imaging analysis, it's very admirable."
"Was it smooth with Da Vinci?"
The middle-aged doctor actually did not want to answer this question, but with the help of his gluteus medius, he quickly answered and said, "It was smooth. Doctor Ling was the chief surgeon for the second splenectomy, and he did a very good job. "
He deliberately used the word "very good" to prevent the department director from misunderstanding. This was naturally not the time to be satisfied with the conflict in his heart. After all, if the department director was unhappy, his internal organs would be in a mess.
Liang Xue had also understood some of the situation before coming here. This time, he asked his subordinate because he wanted to make a final confirmation.
He also understood what the middle-aged doctor wanted to express, so he finally nodded in relief and said, "Then, it's up to Doctor Ling to perform next."
As for the words like the consensus of the experts that he was looking forward to, he did not even mention it. The resources that he provided were so little that he was embarrassed to talk about an exchange.
"Have a cup of tea." Department Director Liang Xue used his right hand that he had taken care of for fifty years to pour a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Ling Ran.
His son was quite cute today, but it was a little troublesome.
