Under the flashing lights, Ling Ran showed a socially acceptable smile. His flash memory was much more than Liu Weichen's.
The reporters took photos of Liu Weichen for work, but they took photos of Ling Ran as a hobby. Naturally, they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Zhu Tongyi also had a smile on his face. He held the certificate so tightly that his fingers turned white, but he did not use up many reporters' resources.
For the reporters, the title of academician was great, but they did not need to pay much attention to the photos.
"Weichen, shake hands with Doctor Ling." A reporter held up a large DSLR camera and made a request.
"Okay." Liu Weichen turned around and shook Ling Ran's hand tightly. He then whispered into Ling Ran's ear, "Doctor Ling, thank you."
"You're welcome." Ling Ran smiled and patted Liu Weichen's hand.
He looked at Liu Weichen from the perspective of a patient. As for whether Liu Weichen could bring more patients, Ling Ran did not care too much about it.
At the end of the day, patients were brought by medical skills. Ling Ran was not a person who was obsessed with fame, and he was not confident that he could use the fame of a celebrity to become stronger. If he needed fame, he did not need Liu Weichen's help at all.
He just preferred to read quietly and perform surgeries quietly. He felt the clamor brought about by fame even before he was in kindergarten.
Liu Weichen felt touched when he felt Ling Ran's gaze.
He was familiar with this gaze.
He remembered that when he just got his results from the sports school, the track and field coach of the city team had this gaze.
It was a calmness that did not ask for anything in return, but only for peace of mind.
"Thank you, Doctor Ling." Liu Weichen could not help but say it again.
Ling Ran only nodded slightly. Then, he saw the white Basic Treasure Chest appear in front of him.
Along with it was a notification of Sincere Gratitude.
"Just do the examination with peace of mind." Ling Ran now believed that Liu Weichen was truly grateful.
"I will definitely do the examination properly." Liu Weichen spoke with force as if he was making a military order. He said, "As long as it's your medical advice, I will definitely obey it."
He did not trust the track and field team doctor, nor did he trust a great doctor like Zhu Tongyi. He just wanted to follow Ling Ran to see patients and do the examination. That was why he especially emphasized that it was Ling Ran's medical advice.
Ling Ran did not think too much about it. He just nodded lightly again.
Liu Weichen thought that Ling Ran did not believe him, so he quickly said, "I'll do it twice or thrice. As long as it's Doctor Ling's medical advice, I won't complain. I'll definitely do my best."
"You've done every checkup two or three times. The doctors are the ones who have to work hard, right?" Ling Ran looked at Liu Weichen and began to wonder if he should perform an MRI scan again.
In this world, there would always be people who were unaware that there was something wrong with their brains. They were very suitable for an MRI scan.
At night.
Zhu Tongyi was followed by Ji Tianlu, Ling Ran, and the others. They arrived at Liu Weichen's presidential ward in a mighty manner.
It was the first time some of the resident doctors and in-service training doctors had seen such a luxurious presidential suite. All of them were extremely curious, and when Zhu Tongyi entered the room, they secretly took out their phones to take selfies.
Lying on the bed, Liu Weichen smiled and said, "I'm feeling pretty good now. There's really no need to make such a big fuss."
"Let's do another check-up. That way, you'll feel more at ease." Zhu Tongyi smiled and said, "I'll tell you the results first so that you won't overthink it. There's no problem with the Achilles tendon, and it's recovering very well. You can continue your training. "
Liu Weichen could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The coach who sat beside the bed also thanked him repeatedly. Although it was just a sixty-meter run, which took less than seven seconds, it was impossible to say that he was not worried. Even a healthy athlete's Achilles tendon could be broken, let alone an Achilles tendon that had just recovered.
After being a coach for a long time, he had seen more strange diseases than many doctors. For example, when Liu Weichen trained, he would do half squats of 150 pounds every day. When he stepped on his Achilles tendon, he would break the wooden board and break his own Achilles tendon.
The problems that could be taken care of during training were not so easy to notice during competitions. The coach was even more afraid that Liu Weichen would have hidden problems after a competition, and he did not know how long he would need to recuperate.
Zhu Tongyi smiled gently and said, "Liu Weichen's physical condition has always been very good, and he has also put in a lot of effort during his rehabilitation. Next, he will be fine after regular check-ups."
"Can I ask Doctor Ling to give me regular check-ups?" Liu Weichen sat up a little.
Zhu Tongyi looked at Ling Ran, a little troubled.
He had a very good impression of Ling Ran, but Zhu Tongyi's first priority was to consider the problems in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. Ling Ran was currently still affiliated with Yun Hua Hospital. If he became Liu Weichen's doctor in charge, he would have to bring Liu Weichen to Yun Hua Hospital.
However, it wasn't easy for him to object to it.
The trust between a doctor and a patient was the strongest during the initial recovery stage of a major illness. Besides, Ling Ran's understanding of Achilles tendon repair had already surpassed most of the doctors in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, and Zhu Tongyi could not come up with a better one.
"I'm afraid I don't have time to give you a check-up." Ling Ran's words helped Zhu Tongyi out of his predicament.
This time, even Yu Yuan was anxious. She quickly said, "Regular check-ups are only done once every two to three months, and it won't delay anything …"
Ling Ran looked at Yu Yuan in annoyance and said, "One afternoon in two to three months means two days in a year, and twenty days in ten years. The life expectancy of a modern person is more than eighty years old. Liu Weichen still needs to be checked for sixty years, so he will be delayed by one hundred and twenty days!"
Yu Yuan was not the only one who was shocked. The doctors beside her were also shocked by Ling Ran.
The 220-pound resident doctor, who had been in a bad mood recently, could not help but say, "That's not how you calculate the time."
"Hmm?" Ling Ran looked at the resident doctor, who had a large body.
The 220-pound resident doctor shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "The regular check-ups only start at two to three months. In the future, you can reduce the frequency to once every six months. After you retire, special check-ups related to your bones can be done once a year."
"So, the time you will be delayed is between thirty to forty days …" Yu Yuan's quick calculation was not bad at all.
Liu Weichen smiled bitterly. "We don't have to think about it for so long. No matter what, Doctor Ling, I'm going to rely on you. In the future, you can just give me the bill, just like the American doctors. I'll follow you. In the future, I'll just tell the media that you're my professional doctor. "
The practice model of doctors in the United States was a bit like the multi-practice model that was being implemented in China. It meant that a doctor could work in multiple hospitals or clinics. Of course, he could also work in a fixed hospital or clinic.
But regardless of whether they chose to work alone or all of them, the doctor and the hospital would still charge them separately. Moreover, most of the doctors' charging methods and prices were decided by the doctor himself and the insurance company he signed a contract with.
In contrast, the hospital provided comprehensive services, just like the relationship between a shopping mall and a shop.
Liu Weichen had gone abroad for treatment many times, and he was very used to the foreign model. His attitude toward the hospital was far less loyal than his attitude toward the doctor.
Ling Ran thought about it very rationally for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "Alright, having a celebrity patient can at least attract some patients …"
The people beside him could not help but look at Ling Ran with envy and jealousy.
Having such a celebrity patient could not only attract some patients!
Liu Weichen was also used to it. He chuckled and said, "Doctor Ling is a straightforward person, and I like him even more. Academician Zhu, don't be unhappy, Doctor Ling and I like each other … "
"I won't be able to live for another sixty years. Next, it's the world of you young people." Zhu Tongyi chuckled and interrupted Liu Weichen's words. He did not want him to continue.
In fact, no matter how Liu Weichen chose, it was impossible for him to choose Zhu Tongyi as his responsible doctor. Academician Zhu Tongyi did not have the time to do so, but he was still a little disappointed.
As for Liu Weichen's original responsible doctor, Doctor Qu, he did not even show up today.
After the ward round ended, the doctors left one after another. Liu Weichen got out of bed and warmly invited Zhu Tongyi and the others to go out for a meal.
Zhu Tongyi naturally declined. Ji Tianlu agreed and looked at Ling Ran.
Ling Ran shook his head decisively and said, "I have a surgery in an hour …"
"How about this?" Liu Weichen advised, "Let's eat first, and we can take pictures together after dinner. I'll post it on Weibo and say that my Achilles tendon was cured thanks to you. I'm telling the truth, right? By then, you'll see, there will be a lot of patients coming, and they won't be in a hurry."
Before Ling Ran could speak, Yu Yuan whispered beside him, "A normal Achilles tendon surgery can be completed in thirty minutes."
Ordinary people did not need to undergo the surgery according to Plan A. If the patient was not a professional athlete or a professional, the rich blood supply did not matter. When Ling Ran was fast, he could complete an Achilles tendon surgery in twenty minutes.
If that was the case, attracting more patients would obviously improve his work efficiency.
However, Ling Ran would not easily delay the surgery.
He thought about it and said, "How about I order a takeout and eat in the ward's restaurant?"
This was also a compromise. Liu Weichen thought about it and nodded. He said, "Then, I'll ask my friend. I'll order a restaurant …"
"No need. The takeout steak I ordered two days ago was pretty good." As Ling Ran spoke, he took out his phone and clicked on Meituan's takeout app.
Liu Weichen could not help but look at his coach.
The coach smiled and said, "Doctor Ling, Weichen is not suitable to eat steak from outside."
"The other party will bring fresh steak over. They only put salt and pepper on it." Ling Ran showed that he knew the diet of athletes.
Liu Weichen suppressed his puzzlement and waited for half an hour. Then, he saw a chef wearing a white top hat appear in the room with four assistants.
They brought their own stove and kitchenware. In front of everyone, they burned the huge cast-iron pot until smoke rose. They then placed more than ten steaks on the stainless steel tableware in a row and introduced, "Currently, we can provide Australian Wagyu beef M9 and M12, grass-fed and grain-fed Argentinian and Uruguayan cooked steaks, ribeye and sirloin steaks. Also, the United States, Kentucky's hind leg steaks are also quite unique …"
Liu Weichen looked at the beautiful steaks that were as thick as his knuckles and had marbling on them. He could not help but take out his phone and asked, "I didn't expect the domestic takeout to be so good. How do you earn money by selling steaks like this?"
