"Go and contact other hospitals and find more patients with Achilles tendon ruptures for Ling Ran." Zhu Tongyi sat in the office and made arrangements to Ji Tianlu.
Ji Tianlu rubbed his temples and asked, "How many?"
"Find as many as you can. Patients are not cabbages. You can just dig them out from the ground." Zhu Tongyi sighed and said, "I'm going to Beijing for a meeting tomorrow. You have to keep Ling Ran under control. Don't wait for the injured athletes to come, and Ling Ran can't be found."
Ji Tianlu looked at Zhu Tongyi and said half-jokingly, "Injured athletes are cabbages?"
"I know that there is an Achilles tendon rupture in the national badminton team. I'll go and see if he's willing to come to us. Xue Haochu is contacting other provincial and city teams. If there are any Achilles tendon ruptures, he should be able to find them. If not, find retired athletes with old Achilles tendon ruptures. "Zhu Tongyi also had a slight headache.
Plan A was the plan he specially designed for Liu Weichen, but Zhu Tongyi did not expect the effect of this plan to be quite good. Based on the results of the recent examinations, the recovery of Liu Weichen's Achilles tendon was far better than expected.
Because of this, Zhu Tongyi was also interested in Plan A. He wanted to seize the time to do more cases and study it well.
At that time, if the surgical method was really developed, he could name it Tongyi Achilles Repair Technique or Tongyi Achilles Repair Technique. Wouldn't that be great?
If there was a need in the future, he could even write a book like "Tongyi Achilles Repair Technique Perioperative Treatment Strategy and Plan Selection" and find a few universities to teach it. It would also be fun.
However, finding cases had always been the most troublesome part of developing a new surgical method, especially for doctors at his level. Funding, equipment, and even imported equipment were not a problem. If necessary, he could easily find tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funding from a hospital.
However, patients could not give birth on their own, and this was the biggest problem surgeons encountered. The more complicated and rare the disease, the more trouble there was in this aspect.
Zhu Tongyi's sports medicine was slightly better. After a while, there would always be athletes with Achilles tendon ruptures, especially badminton and basketball players. The proportion of Achilles tendon ruptures was quite high.
However, the total number of athletes was a problem. No matter how high the incidence rate was, it could not make up for the small number of athletes, especially high-level athletes. No one knew how long they would have to wait for their Achilles tendons to rupture.
This was also determined by the limitations of Plan A. Without confirming the complications and subsequent recovery, Zhu Tongyi could not casually expand the scope of the experiment. Without prior preparation, finding suitable patients became a difficult task.
Zhu Tongyi looked at Ji Tianlu and said, "I think I'll be able to find at least two patients with the right symptoms this time. So, you have to keep an eye on Ling Ran for the time being. Don't let him run back to Yun Hua so easily. In addition, he had to maintain his condition. He had to perform surgeries, but not too many. Young doctors don't know how to control themselves, you have to keep a close eye on them. "
"He still wants to receive finger replantation surgeries. Should I add some finger replantation surgeries to his list?" Ji Tianlu asked tentatively. Compared to Achilles tendon ruptures, the endurance of finger replantation patients was much higher. They had a lot of finger replantation surgeries, and they could handle the workload of five or ten Achilles tendon ruptures.
Ji Tianlu now had a glimpse of Ling Ran as a surgery maniac. However, he did not know much about him, so he wanted to provide a certain amount of surgeries to appease Ling Ran first.
Zhu Tongyi frowned and shook his head slowly. He said, "Try to give him patients with Achilles tendon ruptures. Ling Ran is obviously talented in Achilles tendon ruptures. Although his finger replantation surgeries … are quite good, let's talk in private. Don't you think Achilles tendon ruptures have a better development prospect? "
If Plan A could be carried out and proved to be an effective way to treat athletes with Achilles tendon ruptures, then Ling Ran could earn a lot of money just by performing Achilles tendon repair surgeries.
However, for any doctor, hard work was not the only thing that could make them famous in the world.
Most of the world-renowned doctors had more than twenty years of medical experience. During this period of time, instead of saying that it was a time to practice their medical skills, it was more like a publicity period to build their reputation.
At the same time, it could also be considered as a waiting period for the senior doctors.
Ji Tianlu did not want to flatter Ling Ran. That would be too insincere.
Ji Tianlu did not directly respond to Zhu Tongyi's words. He changed the topic and said, "Now, there are still some media outlets that want to interview Ling Ran. Some of them are media outlets that have worked with him for many years. After Ling Ran met them, he did not want to see them again …"
"He doesn't want to meet the media? Don't young people nowadays want to post their sh * t on their WeChat Moments? "
"He said that too much exposure will affect his life." Ji Tianlu then whispered, "Young people nowadays usually play TikTok."
"Isn't it more comfortable for others to play TikTok than to play TikTok yourself?"
"I don't know much about this …"
"You have to meet the media more often, and you have to meet them while the iron is hot." Zhu Tongyi spoke in the tone of an experienced person, "Doesn't he want to perform surgery? You can discuss it with him or something. Hmm, if the media's publicity spreads, won't it be easier for us to find suitable patients? "
"Yes. Judging from Ling Ran's expression, this method should work. "When Ji Tianlu thought of this, he felt relieved.
…..
The next day, Ji Tianlu once again stated the benefits of exposure for hospitals and doctors. He also proposed to Ling Ran the idea of interviewing patients in exchange for surgeries. He said, "Ling Ran, as doctors, we do want to be more relaxed. We don't have to deal with so many things outside the operating theater. I also thought so when I was young, but later …"
"How many surgeries do you want to exchange for one interview?" Ling Ran did not want to interrupt Ji Tianlu, but Ji Tianlu was too long-winded and did not grasp the main point.
Ji Tianlu did not even carefully consider the relationship between surgeries and interviews. Of course, normal people would not think about this kind of problem.
Ji Tianlu answered a little casually, "Five interviews will do. You accept one interview, and I will find you five surgeries. The surgery fees will also be the same as what you do in Yun Hua Hospital. I will pay you the fees of the chief physicians."
Compared to the former, Ji Tianlu's second sentence gave a much higher degree of trust. Ordinary doctors did not dare to sign on the surgery forms of others.
Of course, the chief physicians of large general hospitals could not do anything about it. They often had to sign on other people's surgery forms, especially hospitals that often carried out freelance surgeries. They had to find someone to sign the surgery forms. As a doctor in Yun Hua Hospital, Ling Ran needed the research institute to issue the forms, regardless of whether he had a medical license or not.
The fact that Ji Tianlu was willing to sign meant that they trusted each other quite a lot.
Ling Ran did not think much about it before. When he heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude and said, "I will send you one more time. Accept one interview, perform four surgeries …"
"It's a deal." Ji Tianlu was very happy and said, "Then I will arrange for two interviews now. You can prepare a little."
"Okay. You should prepare too. " Ling Ran said with concern, "If there are eight surgeries, we must connect them well in the middle. We can have one anesthetist, but there must be substitutes in the middle. We need at least two groups of nurses, or five people in rotation. We need a specialized group of nurses. We can't mix them up, or else it will be a waste of time. The same goes for the assistants. Lu Wenbin is one of them. The other one should be skilled in suturing and understand preoperative and postoperative preparations. "
Ji Tianlu looked at Ling Ran in a daze. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen you talk so much."
"It's just some experience to improve efficiency," Ling Ran answered shyly.
"Alright. In that case, are the eight surgeries scheduled in two days?" Ji Tianlu felt that if he wanted to arrange for two groups of full-time nurses, it would be reasonable to perform four surgeries a day.
However, Ling Ran looked at Ji Tianlu doubtfully and said, "Chief Physician Ji, the surgeries that I received in exchange for accepting the interview should belong to me, right?"
"Well … you can say that."
"Then please arrange it for one day."
Ji Tianlu smiled. "From morning to night, eight surgeries? Do you want to tire yourself to death? "
"I'm not tired, really," Ling Ran answered very sincerely.
Ji Tianlu looked at Ling Ran seriously and said, "Even if you're not tired, I can't arrange for eight surgeries to be performed in a day. This is irresponsible to the patients, you, and the research center."
Ling Ran had to admit that what Ji Tianlu said was very logical. Ling Ran would give basic respect to people who were logical.
"Then I'll go for the interview now. Please arrange the surgeries." Ling Ran did not continue. He had never been a person who was good at using words.
Ji Tianlu nodded in satisfaction and thought, 'Ling Ran is quite cute like this.'
Ji Tianlu took the initiative to stand up and send Ling Ran out of the office. Then, he called Xue Haochu and asked him to inform the media to interview Ling Ran. Then, he slowly opened WeChat and bought patients with Achilles tendon ruptures in the group.
In general, Ji Tianlu was quite satisfied with his work in the first half of the day. He completed a lot of things, was very efficient, and everything went smoothly. Ji Tianlu had already started to think about getting off work early and going to have fun.
As a doctor, he was busy all day long. Only when he was promoted to chief physician could he have some time for himself.
Ji Tianlu had been working overtime every day for the past few days. Today, he finally had the chance to relax, so he decided to relax. He walked around the department, greeted his subordinates, checked the conditions of a few key patients, checked the medical records of the resident doctors, walked around the ward area, solved a few patients' requests, gave a few young doctors pointers, scolded an attending physician for five minutes, walked around the Operating Area, took some time to look at the medical records of the patients sent by a few of his old friends, and politely rejected the invitations of a few pharmaceutical sales representatives …
Before five in the afternoon, Ji Tianlu packed his things and prepared to leave the hospital.
"Chief Physician Ji." Ling Ran appeared outside his office with a gentle smile.
"Ling Ran … Is the interview done?" Ji Tianlu smiled.
Ling Ran smiled. "It's done. I did interviews with four units. Xue Haochu arranged it. "
Ji Tianlu was amused. "So obedient?"
"Xue Haochu said that it's very convenient to arrange it together."
Ji Tianlu nodded in satisfaction and returned the favor. "The two patients with Achilles tendon ruptures you wanted should have arrived. I saw that one was transferred over from the Third People's Hospital, and the Emergency Medical Center …"
"It's done." Ling Ran continued to smile.
Ji Tianlu smiled stiffly. "Did the patients from the Third People's Hospital arrive first?"
"A total of three patients with Achilles tendon ruptures were sent over." Ling Ran paused for a moment and said, "I don't know where they came from, but they're all done."
Even without Academician Zhu Tongyi's Plan A, a normal patient with Achilles tendon rupture would not need more than two hours in the hands of a normal doctor. In Ling Ran's hands, the patient would not even need more than an hour. An afternoon would not be enough.
Ji Tianlu looked at Ling Ran's expression and said carefully, "So, you are …"
Ling Ran stared at the junction between Chief Physician Ji Tianlu's ankle and calf and said, "I think I'm in good condition. I can perform a few more surgeries …"
Ji Tianlu's eyes twitched.
"Let me prove it to you." Ling Ran took out a pen and paper and opened it in front of him. It was a set of Sudoku questions.
In front of Ji Tianlu, Ling Ran casually flipped open a page of Sudoku and finished it in front of Ji Tianlu. He then said, "I won't have a problem even if I perform five more surgeries."
"Wait a minute, let me ask." What else could Ji Tianlu say? When he saw Ling Ran swallow Sudoku, Ji Tianlu was really worried that Ling Ran would bring a leg over later and show him how to grab the tendon with his bare hands.
Ling Ran very politely retreated to the side to avoid hearing Ji Tianlu's voice on the phone.
Ji Tianlu made a few phone calls and looked at Ling Ran. He said, "It will probably take a while. Why don't I treat you to a meal?"
"I'll treat you." As Ling Ran spoke, he also took out his phone and said, "Doctor Lu Wenbin sent some stew from Yun Hua. It's braised pork trotters, pork knuckles, mushrooms, corn, and a piece of beef shank."
"Stew … can be mailed?"
"Yes. Once it's frozen, vacuum it, put it in an insulated bag, and put ice inside and outside. SF Express will arrive on the same day. It's very simple. "
