Every two or three days, Ling Ran went to a nearby hospital for freelance surgery. He mainly performed hepatectomy and Achilles tendon repair. He also performed knee arthroscopy meniscoplasty and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
As Ling Ran's fame spread, the number of patients organized by major hospitals also increased. Three surgeries per trip was already the starting point. After all, Ling Ran could go to many hospitals, but the number of specialists was relatively small.
In Changxi Province, those who could perform freelance surgery in the province were at least department directors of tertiary Grade A hospitals, or even department directors of Yun Hua Hospital, People's Liberation Army General Hospital, or provincial hospitals. It was very difficult for assistant lecturers to perform freelance surgery. The hospital had too much work to do, especially when the department directors flew away. One of the duties of assistant lecturers was to fill the vacancies left by the department directors after they left.
This was also the operating model of modern large hospitals.
The excellent department directors of tertiary Grade A hospitals spent most of their time performing freelance surgery in other hospitals. The price of ten thousand RMB or even tens of thousands of RMB allowed the department directors of the advanced tertiary Grade A hospitals to surpass their foreign counterparts in minutes.
Correspondingly, the assistant lecturers in tertiary Grade A hospitals took on more and more tasks in surgeries and scientific research.
However, in order to become an assistant lecturer one day, the assistant lecturers had to work hard.
After becoming an assistant lecturer, a doctor could be considered to have earned a moment of freedom. The department director was usually an assistant lecturer, but an assistant lecturer was not necessarily a department director.
Therefore, the assistant lecturers who could not become a department director would either wait for the department director to resign, or actively operate to become an independent department, or they could only bring their own treatment group and only think about making money.
Of course, for patients, the doctor who spent a lot of money to hire must at least be a department director. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, a department director was nothing more than a specialist who cost 17 RMB. This requirement did not seem to be high.
Ling Ran took a different path. He performed Achilles tendon repair for Liu Weichen and hepatectomy for Elder Mei. He was a typical "famous" doctor. Because of this, the number of patients who asked him for freelance surgery for Achilles tendon repair was the highest, and the number of patients who asked for hepatectomy was also not low.
Due to Ling Ran's request and the high demand in Changxi Province, the frequency and number of freelance surgeries arranged by Zuo Cidian also increased.
China's current situation, or rather, the world's current situation, had always been that there were more patients than doctors. Of course, the main reason was that there were too few good doctors.
There were only a handful of surgeons in Changxi Province who could reach He Yuanzheng's level in hepatectomy. This was why he was able to become the department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Yun Hua Hospital.
However, below He Yuanzheng, there were four doctors in Yun Hua Hospital who were chief surgeons for hepatectomy.
All the hospitals other than Yun Hua Hospital that hired Ling Ran as a freelance surgeon were either hospitals that had already carried out hepatectomy or were about to carry out hepatectomy. There was no need to insist on their surgical skills.
Practice was indeed the only way to improve one's surgical skills, but just like how some people spent three years studying at Peking University, and some people spent three years studying at Renmin University, the more difficult a surgical method was, the more talent was required in addition to hard work.
There were very few surgeries that an orthopedic surgeon with twenty years of experience could not perform. There were also not many surgeries that an orthopedic surgeon with twenty years of experience could perform.
If he could not become a national champion by the age of twenty, he would have no hope in life. The profession of doctors was not that cruel. They were only cruel to their patients.
Ling Ran's skills became more widely known as he performed more and more surgeries.
The circle of surgeons was a circle of gossip.
If two surgeons stood at the operating table for four hours, they would talk more than they did with their relatives during Chinese New Year.
In the past, doctors from the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City and the Second People's Hospital of Wuxin City praised Ling Ran's hepatectomy skills. As Ling Ran's circle of freelance surgeries expanded, more doctors praised him.
Ling Ran was handsome, skillful, and had a good personality. He was indeed admired by the doctors. For surgeons, being eloquent was considered a good personality, and being taciturn was also considered a good personality. Those who were in between the two were considered a nuisance.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
With Zhang Anmin's substantial participation in Ling Ran's group, their business gradually improved.
Ling Ran worked seventy to eighty hours in Yun Hua Hospital every week, and then he went out for freelance surgery. Despite the limited number of hospital beds, he was able to make the entire group run smoothly.
Among them, Lu Wenbin's M-Tang technique and Ma Yanlin's Achilles tendon repair technique were able to be the chief surgeon for one or two cases every week if they were lucky.
They had been learning from Ling Ran for more than a year. In Ling Ran's opinion, they were already at a high level. If they were in Yun Hua Hospital, they would be at the level of junior attending physicians. With Ling Ran's care, Lu Wenbin, who had performed seven M-Tang technique surgeries in a month, gradually became high-spirited.
"Doctor Ling, let's go to the gym tonight." Lu Wenbin followed Ling Ran to perform the last arthroscopy for the night. When he saw that it was still early, he could not help but invite Ling Ran excitedly.
Ling Ran looked at the clock in the operating theater. It was almost nine o 'clock. He could not help but ask, "Don't you sleep at night?"
"Doctor Ling, you're the one who sleeps less, right?" Lu Wenbin flexed his biceps and said, "I'll go practice a few sets, then go back to the on-call room to sleep."
"Then you can only sleep for three or four hours," Ling Ran said.
When Lu Wenbin heard Ling Ran say this, he felt that something was not right. He could not help but say, "You sleep less than four hours every day, right?"
"Not necessarily." Ling Ran shook his head and thought, 'I have Energy Serums, but you don't.'
After finishing the surgery, Ling Ran thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital gym or the gym outside?"
"The hospital gym. Usually, there are not many people there." Lu Wenbin then started to talk about the gym.
Like many tertiary Grade A hospitals, Yun Hua Hospital also set up a gym at the ground floor of the newly built inpatient building for staff. It was free, and there were free trainers. The equipment was also brand new …
Compared to the equipment in tertiary Grade A hospitals, the expenditure of a gym was pitifully low.
However, unlike the gyms in foreign hospitals, there were only about a hundred people who habitually worked out in Yun Hua Hospital's gym, and there were even fewer people who went to the gym at the same time.
Ever since Lu Wenbin joined Ling Ran's group, he had less time to work out. He usually did push-ups in the on-call room.
However, as long as there was a chance, he would still hurry to the gym.
Ling Ran was also a little too lazy to go home and come back.
He had four gallbladder surgeries scheduled for tomorrow morning at four o 'clock, and he wanted to prepare in advance.
"I'll go get a few clothes to change into. See you in the gym later?" After Ling Ran finished the surgery, he notified Lu Wenbin and went to prepare.
"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the gym." Lu Wenbin chuckled and said, "I can't do anything else, but I can help you grab a barbell or something."
Ling Ran nodded and agreed. He personally did not like team sports, because in his impression, there were too many girls in places like basketball courts, football courts, and volleyball courts, so it affected sports.
In comparison, he preferred activities like jogging.
A few minutes later.
Ling Ran and Lu Wenbin went out one after another. The nurses and anesthetists in the room looked at each other and sent messages in a frenzy.
[Doctor Ling is going to the gym.]
[Doctor Ling is sweating profusely. Those who want to know his location, send red packets.]
[Doctor Ling wants to change and go to the gym.]
…..
Outside the gym, Lu Wenbin waited quietly for a few minutes before he saw Ling Ran, who was wearing a T-shirt.
"There seem to be more people coming today. Let's hurry up." Lu Wenbin urged him a little and asked, "Did you bring your work pass from the hospital?"
"Yes, it's in my bag." Ling Ran patted his backpack. Nowadays, when he carried out freelance surgeries, he would leave after putting something in his bag.
Lu Wenbin nodded. "We don't usually check. It's better to be safe than sorry. It'll be a waste of time if we don't have the pass."
Lu Wenbin said as he followed Ling Ran inside.
At the entrance of the hospital gym, two receptionists were busy checking the guests.
There were so many guests today that the two of them were a little busy.
"Both of us." Lu Wenbin walked forward, pointed at Ling Ran, and then pointed at himself.
"Huh, Doctor Ling?" The young girl at the front desk looked past Lu Wenbin and instantly fixed her gaze on Ling Ran. "You're here to work out too."
Ling Ran smiled and nodded, then asked, "Do I need to show my work pass?"
"No need, I'll swipe it for you." The young girl quickly walked out and used her own pass to help Ling Ran swipe the door.
Lu Wenbin also wanted to go in, but he was stopped.
"Are you a doctor from Yun Hua Hospital?" The young girl looked at Ling Ran as she spoke.
Lu Wenbin flexed his biceps and said, "I come every week."
"You have to swipe your card even if you come every day." The young girl waved her hand, and she did not seem to be flexible at all.
Lu Wenbin was stunned. He lowered his head quietly, opened his bag, took out his work pass, and swiped it to enter the gym. His heart was emotionless, and he was as calm as an ancient well. His state of mind had been greatly trained, and his understanding of society had reached a new height.
