Ling Ran's ward round took about two hours.
The hospital had a recent MRSA outbreak, and all the patients who could be discharged were discharged. The number of elective surgeries had also decreased, and there were not many people in the wards. At the very least, the extra beds in the corridor were all gone.
For the Ling Treatment Group, after the outbreak of MRSA, it was equivalent to them losing three to five patients every day. Even though it was not very obvious at the moment due to the lack of time, it was foreseeable that after this week, the Ling Treatment Group would also have empty beds. Moreover, the empty beds were not extra beds, but the fixed beds.
Ling Ran went through three wards and saw two empty beds. This was impossible for the Ling Treatment Group in the past.
In his treatment group, the three-person ward often had to be increased to four people, and during the worst cases, there were even five or six people. Of course, these were all temporary measures, but it also showed how tight the hospital beds were.
This was especially so when they performed surgeries such as finger replantation and Achilles tendon repair. The patients were often hospitalized for a long time, and there were far from enough hospital beds.
On the other hand, the patients did not have many choices.
The current public hospitals were not willing to perform surgeries such as finger replantation and Achilles tendon repair because they used fewer consumables, and the doctors could not earn much money, and it took a lot of effort.
At the same time, the turnover rate of hospital beds was becoming a hard target for hospitals, so some hospitals set a rule that unless the patients were critically ill, they must be discharged within fifteen days.
Under such circumstances, it was expected that the hospital beds in Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, which could provide long-term hospitalization policies, were in high demand.
But today, there were only seven beds in the three wards that were fixed for nine, and Ling Ran was really not used to it.
What surprised Ling Ran even more was that when he came out of the third ward, he actually received another Sincere Gratitude Basic Treasure Chest.
Including the two treasure chests for the five people in the first two wards, Ling Ran received three Sincere Gratitude Treasure Chests from the seven beds. None of the three wards were empty.
Ling Ran could not help but think as he stood in the corridor. From the looks of it, the crowded ward had become the bottleneck for Sincere Gratitude.
Of course, this did not mean that the space in the ward was very important. It only meant that when the surgery went smoothly, the nursing was good, and the patients recovered well, the space in the ward became important.
This was the so-called medical upgrade.
The demand of the public was always increasing …
Ling Ran could not help but think seriously.
Zuo Cidian followed Ling Ran's footsteps. When he saw the empty hospital beds in his group's ward, he could not help but feel sentimental. When he saw that Ling Ran was stunned by the side, he could not help but console Ling Ran by the side, "Doctor Ling, it's a good thing that the patients are discharged. If we perform surgeries in the future, we'll have more patients …"
Lu Wenbin quickly caught up and said, "That's right. Our group performs surgeries very quickly. We can fill up the hospital beds whenever we want. This is the problem with MRSA. Once the MRSA passes, we can immediately perform more surgeries."
"Recently, there have been quite a number of patients who have been recommended for Achilles tendon surgery. We've postponed all of them. Once MRSA is over, I reckon that the number of patients will increase by leaps and bounds again." Ma Yanlin specialized in Achilles tendon surgery, and he paid a lot of attention to this aspect.
Ling Ran glanced at them. "Didn't you say that the number of surgeries was too high?"
"It's because you're unhappy. Besides, if we perform more surgeries, we'll have more opportunities to practice. Their income would increase as well. We'll increase the frequency of surgeries in the future, and the hospital beds will be full very soon. "Zuo Cidian spoke warmly and honestly, and he felt that he was very good at what he said.
Ling Ran could not help but think for a moment before he said solemnly, "I was originally thinking of maintaining the state of not adding more hospital beds for the time being, but if you really want to perform more surgeries …"
"Doctor Ling, Old Zuo is old and muddle-headed. It's good to rest for a while." Lu Wenbin was so scared that his face almost turned green. Among them, Lu Wenbin was the one who suffered the most and was the most tired.
During surgeries, other people woke up at three o 'clock in the morning to make preparations for ward rounds, but Lu Wenbin woke up at one o' clock in the morning to go to the market to buy pork trotters. Then, he came to work at three o 'clock in the morning.
Other doctors only needed to do ward rounds, write medical records, and perform surgeries. Lu Wenbin, on the other hand, had to manage his pork trotters group and frequently participate in all kinds of matchmaking sessions that did not produce any results …
If it were not for the good physique that he got from working out a few years ago, Lu Wenbin would have collapsed a long time ago.
For him, the timing of MRSA's arrival could be said to be very politically incorrect.
Ling Ran looked at Zuo Cidian in puzzlement before he looked at Lu Wenbin. He did not know what was going on between the two of them.
When Zuo Cidian saw this, he knew that he was done for. Did Doctor Ling really mean to add more surgeries?
"I'm old and muddle-headed." Zuo Cidian quickly laughed out loud. He kept his grievances to himself. If he was old, he would admit that he was old. After all, he was indeed old in Ling Ran's treatment group.
"Then, we won't add more beds for now." Ling Ran thought about it. Since the patients would increase the ratio of Sincere Gratitude even if they did not add more beds, it meant that the patients really needed to reduce the number of extra beds.
Ling Ran still had cholecystectomy to learn, and he was not in a hurry to provide more surgeries. Therefore, he felt that it was more necessary for him to rest in bed.
The doctors in the treatment group were all happy, but the three medical interns were gloomy. They were about to end their internship, and the hospital's MRSA problem might not be solved before then.
When they arrived at the new hospital, even if the hospital carried out major surgeries like finger replantation or hepatectomy, they would not know how long it would take for them to get their turn …
Ling Ran walked around and checked all the patients in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery before he went to the ICU.
Compared to patients in normal wards, the medical histories of patients in the ICU were usually more complicated, and their conditions tended to be more serious. It would not be strange for an internist to write the medical records of a patient sent to the ICU for an entire afternoon.
In this regard, surgeons were still more relaxed, especially surgeons who had junior doctors. They could let the junior doctors write the medical records, and they could just talk and decide on the plan. It was more comfortable.
Of course, once a patient was sent to the ICU, he would be an ICU patient. With the ICU doctors watching over him, normal surgeons could only come and take a look. Most of them did not even come, and even if they came, it would be useless. The doctors in the ICU had their own way of doing things, and they would not listen to normal surgeons.
However, when Ling Ran came, no matter how unwilling the doctors in the ICU were, they still obediently accompanied him.
This was the value of a skill. Previously, Ling Ran performed finger replantation and Achilles tendon repair surgeries, which were orthopedic surgeries that were looked down upon in clinical medicine. However, when he performed hepatectomy, he seemed to be a master of skills.
If the associate chief physicians of the General Surgery Department and the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery were here, the doctors in the ICU might be able to talk about postoperative recovery. However, as Ling Ran got rid of all the freelance surgeons from Beijing, the doctors in the ICU had to be careful in this regard.
It was the right of the doctors in the ICU to disagree with other doctors' treatment plans, but being beaten up by a master of skills was definitely not the working environment they wanted.
In a top tertiary Grade A hospital like Yun Hua Hospital, there were really masters of skills who would beat up other doctors whenever they had nothing to do. For example, Huo Congjun, Department Director Huo, and Troll Huo …
Jin Xuezhen's father waited anxiously outside the ICU. He could enter the ICU if he made a phone call, but it was meaningless. He could not understand the doctors' conversation. Most importantly, Jin Xuezhen's father was worried that he would disturb the doctors' conversation.
"Doctor Ling, how is it?" When Jin Xuezhen's father saw Ling Ran, he looked as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"His condition is stable. There's nothing to say," Ling Ran answered in a straightforward manner.
"So, he's getting better?"
"If there are no accidents, he can be transferred to a normal ward after staying in the ICU for a few more days," Ling Ran answered according to his order.
Jin Xuezhen's father thanked him repeatedly.
After a series of questions, Jin Xuezhen's father finally calmed down a little.
He had no more questions to ask, but he could not bear to let Ling Ran go just like that. So, he looked at his watch and said, "Doctor Ling, it's time to get off work. Why don't we have a meal …"
"I want to go home." Ling Ran rejected him cleanly. This was also something he had learned through practice.
Jin Xuezhen's father saw his gaze and had no choice but to say, "Then, I'll send you back."
He tried every possible way to persuade Ling Ran to get into his Audi Q7. Jin Xuezhen's father flattered him along the way, and he drove to the entrance of Lower Groove Alley before he casually asked, "By the way, Doctor Ling, do you know how to drive?
"Yes."
"Then, I'll leave the car with you. This car is big, and it's convenient to put anything in it … "Jin Xuezhen's father used a trick commonly used by construction companies. It was not expensive to borrow a car, and it was easy to take it back.
It was like giving a car away, but it was not. The effect was very good.
Ling Ran said uninterestedly, "No, it takes up space."
