"Ling … Doctor Ling, I don't know how Yun Hua Hospital operates, but in our research center, the lowest target for an Achilles tendon repair is an excellent one. If you only get a good one, it means that you fail." When Doctor Qu saw Ling Ran, he started chattering nonstop.
"Every year, doctors from the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center come for training. Everyone brings with them the operating habits of different hospitals in different places. As for us, I don't care how you describe these operating habits, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center has the most standard operating mode. We demand that the surgery can withstand scrutiny, especially don't bring in your unique habits, and don't explain them to me during the surgery …
"I've always adhered to the philosophy that if you're capable enough, you'll be the chief surgeon. If you're not capable enough, you'll naturally be the chief surgeon. If you're not capable enough, and you interfere with my operation as the chief surgeon, I might replace you at any time. At that time, don't talk anymore, and don't think that I'm targeting you. We'll discuss the operation as it is …"
Doctor Qu, Xue Haochu, Ling Ran, Lu Wenbin, and a resident doctor participated in the discussion. Compared to surgeries of the same level, the number of participants in this discussion was quite sufficient.
However, throughout the discussion, Doctor Qu was the one who kept talking, and what he said had nothing to do with the specific content of the surgery.
Xue Haochu looked at Ling Ran strangely more than once. Even though they were colleagues in the research center, Xue Haochu could not stand Doctor Qu's nagging.
Ling Ran just looked at the various scans and did not say a word.
When the discussion finally ended, Doctor Qu left with a slightly doubtful and satisfied look. Xue Haochu deliberately stayed behind. When Doctor Qu walked a little further away, he said, "Doctor Ling, why didn't you say anything?"
"There's nothing to say," Ling Ran answered.
Xue Haochu looked at Ling Ran from head to toe and said to Lu Wenbin, who was beside him, "I didn't know that your Doctor Ling is a person who forgets everything."
Lu Wenbin chuckled and said, "Doctor Ling mostly agrees with Doctor Qu's words."
"What do you mean?"
"Doctor Qu's opinion is to use standard operating methods, request excellent results, and replace the chief surgeon at any time … I agree." Ling Ran looked up at Xue Haochu and said, "It's a very pertinent opinion."
"Very … pertinent?" Xue Haochu could not understand it at all. He looked at Lu Wenbin and then at Ling Ran. He did not believe that both of them could not tell that Doctor Qu was deliberately making things difficult for them.
However, as a member of the research center, Xue Haochu had no reason to expose Doctor Qu right now.
"In short, Doctor Ling, you don't have to worry too much. Whatever Doctor Qu says can only be used as a reference. When my teacher comes back, we'll still do what we should do."
Ling Ran nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. He then said, "I don't care what your internal mechanism is like. I want to perform surgery. If I can't perform surgery in the research center, I'll go back."
Xue Haochu stared blankly for a moment, then immediately felt depressed. Wasn't he sandwiched in the middle and roasted from both sides?
Xue Haochu looked at Ling Ran's expression and felt that he did not look like he was making a fuss. His mood became even worse. At the end of the day, he was just Academician Zhu Tongyi's student. Ling Ran would not listen to him, and neither would Doctor Qu. But the surgery had to continue.
"Everyone, take a break first and calm down. Let's complete the first surgery smoothly." Xue Haochu had no choice but to use a persuasive tone to repeat his good wishes.
Ling Ran and Lu Wenbin did not say anything. They went to prepare.
…..
It was time for the surgery. Doctor Qu arrived at the operating theater twenty minutes before the start of the surgery and checked everything carefully.
On the surface, he did not care about this surgery and said that it was "the simplest typical surgery". However, in order to be able to cover up what he said, Doctor Qu became even more careful.
Normally, it was good enough for a chief surgeon to come to the operating theater ten minutes earlier. Chief surgeons often watched the anesthetist anesthetized the patient, watched the scrub nurse count, and watched the young resident doctor verify the results.
Doctor Qu came twenty minutes earlier and personally performed the surgery because he wanted to destroy Ling Ran's prestige.
When it came to the sports star who fell into his hands after much difficulty, Doctor Qu was very attentive and wanted to perform the surgery himself. Unfortunately, the surgery plan he designed could never get through Zhu Tongyi's review, so the sports star Liu Weichen's Achilles tendon repair was delayed day after day. Now, it had reached the point where it could not be delayed any longer.
Rationally, Doctor Qu knew that he had to let go, but emotionally, Doctor Qu really could not bear to do it.
The Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center might be overseen by academicians, but when a sports star came, everyone in the research center acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Performing surgery for a sports star could also be seen as a battle to make a doctor famous, and it was also the best choice for the hospital to expand its reputation.
At the end of the day, modern medicine was built on the foundation of medical treatment for the masses. Even high-end medical treatment still hoped to provide high-end medical treatment to many people, not just a few people.
In this environment, any medical institution regarded attracting a flow of people as an extremely important task.
Even in tertiary Grade A hospitals in first-tier cities that were overcrowded, the higher-ups still wanted to maintain their overcrowded state. Of course, it would be better if they could get high-priced patients or patients with special characteristics who had been screened.
If Doctor Qu could personally complete the surgery for the sports star Liu Weichen and get a better result, he would become famous after one battle. In the future, there would definitely be a continuous stream of similar patients coming to him.
As a surgeon in his forties who was bald and had just accumulated a lot of medical knowledge, Doctor Qu was willing to perform Achilles tendon repairs for the rest of his life if he could become an authority in this field.
Ling Ran changed into scrubs and arrived at the operating theater seven minutes earlier.
Doctor Qu snorted softly and said, "You're on time."
Ling Ran raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. He did not say anything.
"We're performing an Achilles tendon repair today. The patient is a thirty-eight-year-old female with a closed Achilles tendon rupture. The auxiliary examination showed that the Achilles tendon is continuously ruptured. We'll perform an exploratory surgery first before we decide which plan to carry out …" Doctor Qu explained in great detail, and he perfectly met his standards.
In the operating theater, there were very few doctors who would speak like this.
Ling Ran was very used to it. He liked this style of speaking clearly.
"Scalpel." Doctor Qu asked the second resident doctor who was his assistant to disinfect the patient before he extended his hand to ask for a scalpel. Up until now, he was quite satisfied with Ling Ran's attitude.
Although he was a young man with thick hair, he had a good attitude. In Doctor Qu's opinion, he was not a terrible person.
With the spirit of treating patients and saving lives, Doctor Qu no longer targeted Ling Ran. He skillfully cut open the patient's skin and started the surgery.
"Pull …
"Tissue forceps."
Doctor Qu and Ling Ran spoke almost at the same time.
The scrub nurse immediately slapped the tissue forceps into Ling Ran's hand.
"Gauze." Ling Ran shouted again. He used gauze to protect the skin, clamped the tissue forceps, and tore open the space.
His movements were impeccable. Although Doctor Qu did not shout out the specific requirements, this was what he needed.
In Doctor Qu's many years of surgical career, there were not many doctors who could cooperate with him so skillfully.
Doctor Qu lowered his head without saying a word. He felt a little strange, and his mood was caught between pleasure and displeasure.
Ling Ran's expression did not change. He continued to do his own thing.
