Beep … Beep, beep, beep …
Beep, beep …
Woo …
Screech …
When the four alarm clocks on the bedside rang at the same time, Zuo Cidian slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were bright and full of spirit. His dark eyes reflected the light in the room without blinking. He looked like a CEO from Pluto, except that his face was a little too old. At first glance, he looked like an old tree with its roots, a pine tree, a flying duck, a fish with its eyes, and an ape hugging a tree.
Zuo Cidian slowly warmed up his hands, then he slowly rubbed his face and his heart. When his whole body was warm, he slowly got up.
This trick was taught to him by his classmate who was a department director in a tertiary Grade A hospital.
Doctors in tertiary Grade A hospitals worked overtime and were in emergency situations all year round. It was normal for them to wake up early in the morning or be woken up in the middle of their sleep.
Although Zuo Cidian did not need to work overtime to treat patients and did not perform surgeries at night, to serve his leaders, he woke up early and slept late more frequently than the surgeons in tertiary Grade A hospitals. Ever since he used the trick taught by his classmate, he felt much more comfortable. He could stay up late and serve his leaders better.
After all, he was already in his forties. In order not to look old when he served those leaders in their thirties, Zuo Cidian had to spend more energy.
He looked at his watch. It was just past two o 'clock.
Zuo Cidian smiled evilly and got up. After he got dressed, he took out the famous Long family's soup dumplings that he bought last night from the refrigerator. He brought two small steamers with him before he headed to Yun Hua Hospital.
2: 40.
Zuo Cidian entered the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital and greeted the doctors and nurses on duty. Zuo Cidian then turned into the waiting room that he saw yesterday with familiar ease. He set up the steamer, placed the small steamers, and placed the Long family's soup dumplings on the table. He only looked relieved when he saw the white smoke rising from the dumplings.
'F * ck …'
The muffled sound of an engine came from outside the door.
Zuo Cidian looked through the window of the waiting room and saw Ling Ran getting out of a Rolls-Royce.
Zuo Cidian could not help but be stunned.
When he took a closer look, it was not just a Rolls-Royce, but also a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a price tag hanging on its head.
Zuo Cidian had a very deep impression of this car. There was a mine in their town, and among the mine owners, the richest one bought this car.
"As expected of the gilded clan." Zuo Cidian smacked his lips in envy. It only took him a few seconds to calm down. For Zuo Cidian, who was forty-two years old this year and had used up his last bit of resources to start a new life in a new city and work hard again, Rolls-Royce had nothing to do with him.
"Doctor Ling."
"Hello, Doctor Ling."
"Doctor Ling, you're so early."
The young nurses in the hall outside the door greeted Ling Ran in a friendly and pleasant manner, as if they were birds that announced the time.
Before this, Zuo Cidian did not even greet him.
"It seems like Yun Hua's tertiary Grade A hospital is not that easy to get along with." Zuo Cidian thought quietly, 'I wonder how many resources Ling Ran has snatched from normal doctors in order to become so powerful.'
Zuo Cidian thought, 'Why would a person who can drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom come to the hospital to be gilded?'
Doctors had a high social status, but that was for ordinary people. For families below the middle-class level in the city, being a doctor was a good choice. However, did a family with a Rolls-Royce Phantom need to be a doctor?
They worked hard to snatch resources, but they still had to come to the hospital at three in the morning.
Zuo Cidian could not figure out the relationship no matter how he thought about it.
"You're here?" Ling Ran walked into the waiting room and found that Zuo Cidian was already there, so he greeted him with a socially acceptable greeting.
Zuo Cidian quickly said, "I just arrived, and I just prepared some buns for breakfast. I don't know if Doctor Ling likes to eat meat or vegetables. The buns are from the Long family, and the ingredients are clean and exquisite. I've seen their kitchen. "
As he spoke, Zuo Cidian was about to serve the buns from the small steamer.
Ling Ran waved his hand and said, "I just ate in the express car."
"Huh?"
"The taxi just sent you breakfast," Ling Ran explained and said. "Eat it yourself. Come to the operating theater when you're ready. Don't be too late."
After he finished speaking, Ling Ran changed into a large white coat and went straight to the operating theater.
Zuo Cidian was stunned behind him. He stomped his feet, made up his mind, and ate a whole steamer of buns before he ran to the operating theater.
He panted when he arrived at the Operating Area. Just as he changed into slippers and entered, he smelled the faint smell of pork trotters.
The Operating Area was relatively large. Other than the four core operating theaters, there were also storage rooms, medicine storage rooms, disinfection storage rooms, and so on. All of them had their own functions.
The waiting rooms, washrooms, toilets, and so on outside this area were areas for doctors to rest for a short period of time.
Although Zuo Cidian was a little curious about the early opening time of the cafeteria, he did not think much about it. He hurriedly used his temporary work pass to take scrubs and surgical gowns before he changed into them and entered the operating theater. A surgery was already halfway done.
The first assistant opposite Ling Ran was Lu Wenbin.
When Lu Wenbin saw Zuo Cidian, he was quite happy. He cheered, "The newcomer is here!"
"Hello, Doctor Lu." Zuo Cidian bowed humbly and greeted him. He really did not know how to play the little tricks of young doctors.
"You'll operate the retractor. Lu Wenbin, arrange the thread." Ling Ran did not give them time to communicate. He raised his head and continued to perform the surgery.
Lu Wenbin chuckled. He did not have much energy to tease Ling Ran.
Aside from Ling Ran, normal people would feel tired when they performed surgeries at three o 'clock in the morning. Even the famous surgery maniacs in Yun Hua Hospital only started their surgeries at four or five o' clock in the morning. As for those who stayed up to perform surgeries until three o 'clock in the morning, there should still be a few people who were busy on the surgical floor next door, but in the foreseeable future, they would probably become disabled from exhaustion.
Zuo Cidian grabbed the wound retractor handed to him by the scrub nurse in a daze. The retractor was made of silver stainless steel. Just like other medical instruments, the middle of the retractor was flat, and both sides of the retractor were curved in the shape of a rake. It looked like a child stretching out his arm and curling his fingers into a right angle.
Zuo Cidian had not operated this kind of wound retractor for a long time.
Even if there were patients coming to the town hospital, they would not perform surgeries in the town hospital. If they were really unlucky, they would need to be dealt with in an emergency. That was because they used more gauze and tourniquets than knives. The retractor was only used once every half a year, and there was also an assistant who operated it. If there were surgeries in the town hospital.
"Retract the retractor!" Ling Ran rarely spoke during surgeries. When he spoke, he always gave orders.
"Oh … yes!" Zuo Cidian answered in a hurry and used all his strength to pull the retractor.
Retracting the retractor was a very tiring task. Many young doctors would be drenched in sweat when they participated in a surgery.
Zuo Cidian knew that he was not as strong as young people, so he could only hold his strength and try his best to persevere.
As long as Ling Ran could retract the retractor enough, he would ignore him.
Twenty minutes …
Thirty minutes …
Zuo Cidian's hands were numb, but he still lowered his head and persevered. This was nothing compared to making a small model for the leader's child at three o 'clock in the morning.
Forty minutes …
One hour …
Zuo Cidian trembled. He still widened his eyes and watched Ling Ran's operation. He knew that he needed to learn, and this was his last chance. Retracting the retractor for an hour was quite tiring for a young doctor in his twenties. For a middle-aged man in his forties, it was even more tiring. But Zuo Cidian did not care. He once stood in front of the leader's office for a few hours just to treat the leader to a meal. So, it was nothing even if he had varicose veins.
One and a half hours …
Two hours …
Zuo Cidian felt that his entire body was numb. His muscles were trembling, and his brain was in a daze. He recalled the scene when he caught his wife and his leader in bed having an affair. At that moment, his wife flew into a rage, and his leader hurriedly left after saying some harsh words. In the end … his leader did not only know how to say harsh words …
"Hmm, it's almost time."
Ling Ran's words pulled Zuo Cidian back from his daydream.
The anesthetist also yawned loudly. He looked at his watch and said, "It's only been two hours. Did you run into any problems?"
"I ran into some obstacles," Ling Ran answered.
Lu Wenbin chuckled. "I thought that you were going to bleed."
"We definitely have to control blood loss first," Ling Ran answered again.
Zuo Cidian looked at them in a daze. He had no idea what was going on in the surgery just now. For Zuo Cidian, who had long since left the operating table, Achilles tendon repairs were very unfamiliar. He did not know what was going on with this kind of Achilles tendon repair that took a lot of time.
"It's not easy for those who are gilded nowadays." Zuo Cidian raised his head and looked at the big clock in the operating theater. It was already five in the morning.
"Lu Wenbin, suture the skin. Newcomer, follow me." Ling Ran did not remember Zuo Cidian's name. After checking for a while, he put down the instrument and stepped out of the door.
Zuo Cidian quickly followed him. "Doctor Ling, you've worked hard."
"Yes."
"Doctor Ling, if you're tired, I can give you a massage. Although I'm from the town hospital, I've specially learned from an old Chinese doctor in Beijing …" Zuo Cidian himself wanted to lie down and take a nap, but his desire to please Ling Ran overcame his laziness.
"There's no time." Ling Ran shook his head.
"It's okay. There are ways to massage for long periods of time, and there are ways to massage for short periods of time." Zuo Cidian smiled and thought, 'These gilded doctors are still young. They might not be used to ordering people around. This is good. I can relax a little, and the other party will be satisfied …'
"The surgery just now has already taken up a lot of time." Ling Ran said and went to wash his hands again.
Zuo Cidian was baffled and followed him to wash his hands.
Then, he saw Ling Ran turn around and step open the door of the operating theater opposite him. A patient was already lying on the operating table.
"Achilles tendon repair, second case." Ling Ran checked the information with the anesthetist again and extended his hand to ask for a scalpel.
Zuo Cidian saw a long, S-shaped incision being drawn out of the wound.
"Another one?" Zuo Cidian was a little dizzy.
