Ling Ran started performing surgeries at three o 'clock in the morning. He worked until noon, drank a bottle of Energy Serum, and continued performing surgeries until ten o' clock at night. Only then did he finish the day's surgeries.
Ling Ran could not help but smile as he watched the patient being wheeled away.
"Happy?" Zuo Cidian could barely open his eyes. He only managed to hold himself together after drinking two cans of Red Bull.
Ling Ran nodded.
"Happy?" Zuo Cidian asked again.
Ling Ran nodded.
"Happy?" Zuo Cidian asked again.
Ling Ran nodded.
Zuo Cidian was swaying, but he did not forget to give Ling Ran a thumbs up. "Doctor Ling, you're really energetic. I didn't even follow all the surgeries. If I followed all the surgeries, I'd probably be exhausted."
"I'm also exhausted after following half of the surgeries." Lu Wenbin had long since slumped to the ground.
"Phew …"
Su Jiafu, who had really followed all the surgeries for the whole day, did not say a word. He quietly sat on a small stool, fell asleep on the table, and started snoring.
Ling Ran was still brimming with health and vigor. His handsome appearance was like a jade tree in the wind.
Zuo Cidian, who was over forty years old, said enviously, "It's said that age is a treasure. My experience in the past was biased. Even as a doctor, being young is also useful."
"Useless." Lu Wenbin groaned because his waist and legs were aching. He said, "I'm still young. Look at me."
Zuo Cidian glanced at Lu Wenbin as if he was looking at a country dog.
"Make an appointment for tomorrow's surgeries." Ling Ran interrupted them and said, "Especially mark the patients who bring their own rooms."
"There aren't many patients who bring their own beds these two days, but I reckon that in a few days, there will be more patients." Zuo Cidian chuckled and said, "Treating cadres is like digging a rat's nest. They're all connected to each other. If they can persevere, they'll be connected to each other."
The circulating nurse who was drinking spat out her water. "You really dare to say that."
"Why wouldn't I dare? I didn't name anyone. I'm just talking in general," Zuo Cidian said and smiled humbly at Ling Ran. As Zuo Cidian spoke, he smiled humbly at Ling Ran. "Doctor Ling, you must be tired after a long day. You can go back first and leave the rest to us."
"Yes." Ling Ran was not interested in cleaning up the mess. He turned around and said, "We can go to work a little later tomorrow morning. Let's do eight o 'clock. We'll do ward rounds before we perform surgery."
Zuo Cidian forced a smile.
After Ling Ran left, Zuo Cidian looked at his watch and said in a low voice, "It's less than twelve hours before we have to start work."
"This is Doctor Ling's normal schedule," Lu Wenbin said in the tone of a senior brother, and there was a hint of pride in his voice.
Zuo Cidian furrowed his eyebrows a little and said in a very skillful manner, "We're assistants, after all, and we can still assign tasks. Doctor Ling will be the chief surgeon, and he will continue to work, is that okay?"
"As long as the sickbed says it's okay, he can." Lu Wenbin glanced at Zuo Cidian and said, "You've opened Pandora's box. If this group of old cadres can bring their own hospital beds, Doctor Ling will probably go crazy performing surgeries."
"Cadres. Not a veteran cadre, "Zuo Cidian corrected Lu Wenbin.
"Alright, cadre. Does that mean that the scope is broader?"
Zuo Cidian nodded seriously.
"Even if there is a group of cadres, there shouldn't be too many meniscus injuries, right?"
"Then you're underestimating the cadres' ability to spread information."
"I don't think so." Lu Wenbin struggled to laugh a few times.
Zuo Cidian nodded seriously again.
"Don't learn from Doctor Ling." The young nurse next to him could not take it anymore.
Before Zuo Cidian realized what was going on, Lu Wenbin had already rushed out of the door. "Sorry for troubling you today. I have to go back and clean up Old Tang."
…..
The next day.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, Ling Ran led the members of the Ling Treatment Group to perform ward rounds.
Lu Wenbin, Yu Yuan, and Zuo Cidian, who were in charge of the beds, introduced the conditions of the patients in the beds to Ling Ran as they walked. The three interns were nervous and looked forward to the question-and-answer session.
Ling Ran rarely spoke to most of the "old" patients, and Yu Yuan was in charge of the consultation and other matters.
This kind of mode trained Yu Yuan's ability to perform ward rounds.
In fact, before attending physicians were promoted to associate chief physicians, their main ability to perform ward rounds was honed by performing ward rounds within the group. Yu Yuan also had the advantage of having the highest seniority.
This was unimaginable in other treatment groups or other hospitals.
The power of a treatment group was extremely great. If it was measured by numbers, a decent treatment group in a tertiary Grade A hospital would receive more than ten million RMB in a year. Before the medicine reform, if the price of medicine was increased by 15%, the legitimate income that the hospital could get in a year was more than one million RMB.
A treatment group with such resources would not have a problem in providing for and poaching people.
Therefore, most treatment groups were led by chief physicians or associate chief physicians, and there were many attending physicians.
Hospitals that could not cultivate enough attending physicians would also have the motivation and need to poach people.
However, in the Ling Treatment Group, Yu Yuan, who had just become a chief resident, was the doctor with the highest seniority. Her title of chief resident was not even a title, but a position.
Performing the patrolling duties that only attending physicians had as a chief resident was a great opportunity for the petite Yu Yuan.
Ling Ran enjoyed his free time today, especially after he turned to the VIP patient building. Ling Ran's attitude became even more aloof.
He did not like to have direct contact with patients, and the gentlemen who brought their own beds were even further away from being cute or likable.
In comparison, Yu Yuan was much better at making friends.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, they would always be kinder to small animals.
Ling Ran quietly listened to Yu Yuan ask questions. He would only correct her if there was a problem. Otherwise, he would let Yu Yuan control the rhythm.
After walking around the VIP patient building, Ling Ran did not get a single Sincere Gratitude Treasure Chest.
Ling Ran was indifferent towards all of this.
He was not in urgent need of Treasure Chests right now. Compared to that, surgery itself was his passion.
Nine o 'clock in the morning.
Ling Ran finally returned to his beloved operating theater.
The operating theater's schedule for that day was also listed in the waiting room of the Operating Area.
"A total of eight surgeries." Ling Ran's tone was neither disappointed nor excited.
For other doctors, this number of surgeries would be exhausting, but for Ling Ran, whether he needed an Energy Serum or not depended on his condition.
"One M-Tang technique, two Achilles tendon surgeries, five arthroscopy surgeries …" Lu Wenbin counted and felt a little disappointed.
"There are no more beds in our treatment group. Only four people brought their own beds today, and the remaining four have to use extra beds." Yu Yuan brought more bad news.
Zuo Cidian felt a little guilty and said, "The news hasn't completely spread out yet. I reckon that in a few days, there will be more patients who bring their own beds."
"Now, it's not a problem of patients who bring their own beds. We don't even have enough beds."
"The extra beds are about to be filled up."
"If they stay in the hospital for a long time, our hospital bed turnover rate will definitely not be fast."
Everyone gathered their thoughts, but they still could not think of a good solution.
Ling Ran changed into scrubs and new underwear. He listened to their conversation and thought about it seriously for a few seconds before he said, "Now, the only solution is to reduce the patients' recovery time."
"Are we not going to stay in the hospital for a long time anymore?" Zuo Cidian was the first to react. He did not know anything about staying in the hospital for a long time or staying in the hospital for a short time. He only knew that this was going against the hospital's policy. So, when he heard that Ling Ran had the intention to change, he immediately brought it up.
Ling Ran shook his head. "We have to stick to the strategy of staying in the hospital for a long time, but we can completely consider reducing the patients' recovery time during the surgery."
"During the surgery?"
"Reduce the amount of bleeding, reduce the surgery time, and carry out simpler and more accurate surgeries …" Ling Ran said three things in one breath. He paused for a moment and said, "If we can reduce the average hospitalization time by one day, we can also save a lot of hospital beds for one hundred patients."
Zuo Cidian and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this.
