"Doctor Ling, do you want to take a break?" Lu Yongmian, the department director of the General Surgery Department of the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City, struggled to keep his eyes open. He followed Ling Ran's footsteps like a ghost, and his shoulders were still rubbing against the wall.
Ling Ran, who had already drunk three bottles of Energy Serum, was also a little sleepy. He took the medical record from Lu Wenbin, who had just woken up. He looked at it and said, "I'll perform another surgery, and then I'll go have some tea and rest. You should go to bed early."
"Doctor Ling." Lu Yongmian used all his strength to grab Ling Ran's arm and said, "You can't perform more surgeries. Rest for a while. It's … it's been forty hours."
"Thirty-eight hours. It's still a long way from forty hours." Ling Ran did not even need to look at his watch to tell the time. He drank an Energy Serum every ten hours. He felt that it was the best way to ensure that he could perform surgeries this way. Now, there was still one more surgery before he drank another bottle of Energy Serum. That was thirty-eight hours.
But Lu Yongmian could not do it. A normal person would feel dizzy after staying up for twenty hours. After thirty hours, they would basically be like a walking corpse. Doctors could stay up for thirty or even thirty-six hours by secretly sleeping in between. Even if they only slept for a few hours, they could solve major problems.
Of course, if they were too busy, they would not have the chance to sleep at all. Then, they would have to stay up for thirty or even thirty-six hours. But this number was also the limit, especially for a department director of the General Surgery Department like Lu Yongmian. The last time he stayed up for thirty-six hours was a few years ago.
He did not expect that Ling Ran was really performing surgeries. He performed surgeries for nearly forty hours.
Of course, there were many strong people who persisted in performing surgeries for more than thirty hours in the stories reported by the media. But did it not mean that it was rare to be in the news?
Lu Yongmian also knew that many doctors persisted in performing surgeries for more than thirty hours or even forty hours when they were forced to do so.
But was the situation so urgent now?
Moreover, Ling Ran looked as if he was enjoying it.
"Doctor Ling, you … did you eat something?" Lu Yongmian was also a little confused. If he was awake, at least in the first twenty hours after he woke up, Lu Yongmian would not ask this question.
Doctors who took strange drugs were never strange things to see or hear about.
The Department of Anesthesiology had always been a disaster area for people who took illegal drugs. Surgeons had to perform surgeries, write research papers, memorize books and take exams, attend banquets, and attend meetings with their leaders … There were often people who could not help but try certain drugs that could help them maintain their condition.
Lu Yongmian looked at Ling Ran. He doubted Ling Ran's choice.
Lu Wenbin, who had just woken up and was full of energy, had a clear mind. He immediately stood in the middle and said, "Department Director Lu, are you out of your mind? What? Is there a problem just because Doctor Ling has been performing surgeries for a long time? What kind of leader is this? "
"What kind of leader am I?" Lu Yongmian came to his senses a little and chuckled. He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground. "Sigh, I really can't hold on any longer. Doctor Ling, we're not in a hurry. Let's rest for a night and continue with the surgery tomorrow. "
His original task was to accompany Ling Ran during the surgery and help Ling Ran coordinate his relationships with various parties. On the other hand, he was also to wait for Ling Ran in case something unexpected happened.
The people from the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City had good intentions, but they did not expect Ling Ran to be so capable.
When Ling Ran saw that Lu Yongmian had already sat on the ground, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, I'll rest after I'm done with this patient. You should rest too. Arrange for someone to follow me tomorrow. "
Lu Yongmian wished that someone could take his place. He nodded and said, "I'll find someone now. I'll inform you when I'm done."
"Alright, I'll go into the operating theater first." Ling Ran politely went to wash his hands. After he took a few steps, he reminded Lu Yongmian, "Please make the arrangements now. It's best if you can make the arrangements before work tomorrow so that the surgery won't be delayed."
A surgery without a prefix was considered an important surgery in the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City. Lu Yongmian did not dare to delay. When he saw Ling Ran enter the operating theater, he quickly sent a message.
Ling Ran happily performed another hepatectomy and sent the patient to the ICU of the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City. Then, he said to the new, ordinary associate chief physician sent by the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City, "I'll sleep for four hours. Get ready for the surgery."
"Four hours … Alright." The associate chief physician chuckled a few times. After he sent Ling Ran to the on-call room, he said to the resident doctors outside, "Go and rest. He hasn't slept for forty hours. He'll be lucky if he doesn't sleep for twenty hours."
After he finished speaking, Department Director Siping, who had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary IQ, and an ordinary EQ, went to sleep in the on-call room.
Who would not want to sleep well in the wee hours of the morning?
Early in the morning.
Department Director Siping was woken up from his deep sleep by a loud knock on the door.
"Did you know that Ling Ran went to perform surgery?" The hospital director's gaze was so heavy that it could crush four associate chief physicians and two hundred resident doctors.
The associate chief physician smiled. "Impossible. He just performed surgery for forty hours …"
"Operating Theater 2." The hospital director turned around and left. He did not even bother to argue with him.
The associate chief physician wrapped himself in a blanket. He waited until the group of people had taken enough advantage of him with their scornful gazes before he quickly put on his clothes and ran out.
Operating Theater 2.
Ling Ran was in high spirits.
His spirit was extremely good.
Last night, to ensure the quality of his sleep, and most importantly, to seize the window of free hospital rooms, Ling Ran drank an Energy Serum before he went to sleep.
Logically speaking, after drinking an Energy Serum, he could immediately return to his original state.
Ling Ran drank four bottles of Energy Serum and rested for a while purely because he did not trust unlicensed drugs.
It was a little like an English tea break.
In other words, Ling Ran slept for another four hours while he was full of energy. At this moment, Ling Ran was like a man who had just returned to sleep. His entire body exuded an aura that said, "I really want to vent."
"Scalpel!"
"Endotherm Scalpel!"
"Forceps!"
Ling Ran spoke very quickly because he performed surgeries very quickly.
He could not help it. He was really familiar with it.
The doctors in the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City used their personal connections to contact many patients with hepatolithiasis. They used clinical research as an excuse to invite them to the hospital to perform surgery. This was also something that major hospitals often did.
The doctors in the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City were indeed prepared to do research on hepatolithiasis, so they formed a specialized team. It was one thing for Ling Ran to bring his own team, but it was another thing for the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City to want a backup team. Reality proved that their decision was very necessary.
Ling Ran only used one day to tire out his team, especially the two young nurses, Wang Jia and Su Mengxue. They could not bear to work for such a long time without making mistakes.
For Ling Ran, who had Master Level Hepatectomy, hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis was relatively easy. If he continued to perform the same surgery, not only would he be familiar with it, but his judgment during the surgery would also be very fast.
"It's done. Send him to the ICU. Give him special care. Pay attention to his blood pressure … "Ling Ran completed the surgery and gave medical advice. He could be considered to have done one-third of the work in the ICU.
The ICU of Yun Hua Hospital was not very willing to listen to Ling Ran's advice. The ICU of the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City did not dare to disobey Ling Ran's advice. This made Ling Ran very happy.
The patient's surgery was successful, and the prognosis was good. The patient and his family were also very happy.
Only the doctors from the General Surgery Department of the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City became silent as they watched Ling Ran's surgeries.
Many people worked hard because they had not seen the strength of the strong. When they saw it, they lost the motivation to work hard.
It was a new week.
Monday.
The ICU beds in the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City were full.
Although there was a continuous flow of patients leaving the ICU, considering that other departments would also send patients over, Ling Ran could not continue to perform surgeries.
"Call Mei Tiangui. I'm ready." Ling Ran called Professor Huang in a dejected manner. "Arrange for him to have his second or third surgery tomorrow. Let them choose for themselves."
There would be patients transferred out of the ICU tomorrow, and Ling Ran wanted to fight for two more surgeries.
Professor Huang could not help but hesitate. "Are you going to operate on other patients tomorrow?"
Ling Ran recalled the Mei family's behavior and said, "Let them choose. Just tell them that I want to operate on Elder Mei as the second or third surgery. If they insist on being the first surgery in the morning, I don't mind."
Professor Huang could not help but laugh. "Alright, then let the Mei family choose."
From a layman's point of view, surgeons should be the most energetic when they perform their first surgery. However, from a layman's point of view, the surgeon who performed the second surgery might be hotter and more accurate …
