For the next two weeks, Ling Ran controlled the average number of surgeries per person to be around two. For the rest of the time, he either followed Huo Congjun to familiarize himself with the details of the Emergency Department or stayed in the office to read.
A doctor had to study for a lifetime. If he spent an average of two hours a day on self-study, he would not even be able to finish reading the latest textbooks, let alone the latest literature.
Compared to ordinary people, Ling Ran was a person who read very fast. When he was in his second year, he accompanied the cadavers and finished reading a bunch of basic textbooks. But in the next three years, Ling Ran still struggled in the shame of being in the top three, and occasionally became the first in his year.
Ling Ran was not satisfied with such results, and he also understood that he was not a genius in studying. After all, geniuses would not participate in academic competitions in universities. Just like when he participated in child star competitions when he was a child, he went all the way to Central TV, and it was impossible for him to compete in primary school competitions.
Although Ling Ran did not follow the path of child stars because the Ling family was not short of money, his experience in primary school gave him enough standards to use as a reference.
When he only got first place in three subjects during the final exam of his freshman year, and he got eighth place in one subject, Ling Ran knew that he was not meant to study.
In the following days, Ling Ran could only study with a humble attitude.
If he did not get the system, Ling Ran might have chosen to take the postgraduate and doctoral exams to study much faster than others.
However, the System itself could not give him an even better reading ability.
Ling Ran could only use time to study.
Compared to surgery, this kind of pure reading was much more boring.
If Chief Wang Haiyang from the Hand Surgery Department did not take Ling Ran on freelance surgeries, Ling Ran might not be able to control himself and use up the remaining hospital beds.
However, no matter how "frugal" Ling Ran was, the remaining hospital beds were still reduced, and soon, it was reduced to single digits.
"Doctor Ling, we've reached the maximum number of beds, we can't add more." The head nurse deliberately came to the office to inform Ling Ran.
Behind her were Lu Wenbin, Ma Yanlin, and Yu Yuan, who were cautious.
The doctors in the office also widened their eyes and waited to see Ling Ran's angry expression.
There would always be a moment when doctors in the hospital were half dead from anger before they were rescued. No one had seen Ling Ran's anger, and they always felt that he was not perfect.
Ling Ran, who was treating patients, turned around and said slowly, "We've reached the maximum?"
"101 beds, we can't add any more." The head nurse said, "It's not just that we don't have enough space. The nurses can't take care of so many patients, and the doctors' ward rounds take too long. Also, our Emergency Department needs to have some flexible beds …"
"I know. 101 beds are good enough." At that moment, Ling Ran slightly missed the 180 beds in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, which could still add more beds. In his memory, half of the hospital bed area in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center was still under their control. If all of them were developed, it would be possible for them to place another 180 beds.
However, even though the Emergency Medicine building of Yun Hua Hospital was big, it did not have such space. Ling Ran was also well aware of this.
Lu Wenbin glanced at Ling Ran again and said, "Doctor Ling, if this is the case, do we have to stop the surgery?"
"There are no discharged patients?"
"The average hospitalization time of the patients has dropped a lot. I can't find them for the past few days."
"Alright." Ling Ran sighed again and said, "Let's take a break then. I'm going home too."
He left as soon as he said that. He turned off the computer and went straight out.
The other doctors in the Emergency Department still had to take care of emergency services, but Ling Ran only went to the debridement room when he wanted to play. Since there were no more beds, he could only go home.
When Ling Ran appeared outside the Emergency Medicine building again, Huo Congjun slowly returned to the office.
"Did Ling Ran go back?" Huo Congjun asked even though he already knew the answer.
Ma Yanlin was the first to answer, "Doctor Ling went back."
"Sigh … I really can't get more beds." Huo Congjun pretended to be a hero who was wiping his tears. He grabbed the railing in front of the office window with one hand and looked at Ling Ran's back from afar. He said, "It's my mistake as a department director that the infrastructure can't meet the needs of the doctors. I will definitely fight for what is right in the next hospital administration meeting."
"Department Director Huo!"
"Department Director!"
"I'm so touched!"
A group of attending physicians rushed to put on a good show. The resident doctors were still ignorant, but the associate chief physicians no longer relied on this to survive.
Fortunately, there were enough attending physicians in the Emergency Department, and they helped Department Director Huo hold up a TVB-level stage.
Huo Congjun sighed deeply. "If there's even the slightest possibility, I will ask for more beds for our department. We can't do without beds if we want to expand the Emergency Department. Now, the beds are our shortcoming. Don't worry, everyone. When our Emergency Medicine building was built, there was a space reserved for additional beds. If we really can't do it, I will split a space from the inpatient building. "
"Department Director Huo, thank you."
"The department director is the department director."
"Department director, don't be too anxious. Young people are impatient. It's okay to wait for a few days."
The attending physicians spoke their lines without hesitation. They did not waste their time in the past few years.
Huo Congjun posed for a while. When he saw that Ling Ran was not around, he sat down with an embarrassed expression and said to Lu Wenbin and the others, "You guys are Ling Ran's assistants. You can't just be his assistant during surgeries. You also have to be his assistant in life. For example, whether Doctor Ling's mental state is healthy or not, you guys have to think of ways to help him, understand? If Ling Ran pays attention to the surgery, he might miss out on other aspects. You assistants have to help him fill in the gaps. "
"Yes …" Lu Wenbin led the team and answered. He only criticized in his heart, 'Doctor Ling doesn't need our help in his life. There are plenty of girls who can help him.'
After Huo Congjun finished giving his instructions, his guilt was greatly reduced, and he smiled.
Since Ling Ran came to the Emergency Department, the income of the Emergency Department had been increasing. Now, they had climbed out of the edge of incurring losses.
For any hospital's Emergency Department, as long as they did not fall into the quagmire of incurring losses, there were many ways to make money.
Huo Congjun had already begun to consider whether he should support another core force.
A big Emergency Department could not just take advantage of the Orthopedics Department. He had to get some help from other departments.
If it really did not work, Huo Congjun would think of poaching people from other hospitals.
However, that would definitely increase the expenses of the Emergency Department. They might even need to prepare some new surgical instruments and instruments. Huo Congjun had always been preparing in this direction.
Even if the attending physicians did not object to it, the other associate chief physicians and chief physicians would have objections.
Huo Congjun was quite satisfied with his acting skills. He had been the department director of the Emergency Department for many years, and he still knew how to balance things out. Besides, he could not let dozens of doctors in the Emergency Department suck Ling Ran's blood alone.
"Department director, you have a phone call." The doctor in the office picked up the landline and hesitantly called out to Huo Congjun.
Huo Congjun subconsciously took out his phone and glanced at it before he picked up the landline suspiciously. "Hello?"
"Department Director Huo, I'm Zhu Tongyi." Academician Zhu's voice rang from the phone. He said with a smile, "I'm here to send an invitation."
"What invitation?"
"Yes, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center is very grateful to Doctor Ling for your help despite your busy schedule. This time, our center is organizing an international exchange conference, and we would like to invite Doctor Ling to our center as a guest to revisit our old stomping grounds. We've specially called you, and we hope that you can approve it." Zhu Tongyi's voice was full of energy, and he sounded very excited.
Huo Congjun was also happy when he heard that. Doctors still liked things like international exchange conferences, and he had to balance things out every year. It was quite good to have one more slot.
Just as he was about to agree to it, Huo Congjun was puzzled and asked, "What do you want me to talk about as a guest?"
"Just talk about the joints."
"Is Ling Ran qualified to talk about the joints?"
"Why not? He's more than qualified. I think he can even talk to foreigners." Zhu Tongyi laughed.
Huo Congjun could not find any loopholes, so he could only agree and let Zhu Tongyi talk to Ling Ran himself.
After he hung up, Huo Congjun thought carefully for a long time and said, "We still need to expand the hospital beds. I'll go to the hospital director first."
"Huh?"
"We still need to increase the hospital beds?"
