Ling Ran left the house ten minutes earlier. He also sent the novice monk, a bag of aluminum-carbonate, a bag of nifedipine, and a box of Mayinglong to the bus.
Dong Sheng skillfully found an empty seat and waved goodbye to Ling Ran. He then took out a book called Knowing Words and started reading it silently.
Ling Ran stood across the road and waited for the bus to depart before he strolled toward Yun Hua Hospital.
Early mornings were the most carefree time for doctors. Before making ward rounds, they did not have to bear all kinds of responsibilities from the hospital. After leaving home, they did not have to worry about all kinds of restraints from their families. They could be free people for an hour every day.
Ling Ran had not completely integrated into hospital life, but he still enjoyed the time he wasted on the road.
It was only when the steel words "Yun Hua Hospital" appeared in front of him that Ling Ran regained his focus.
Ling Ran entered the room, changed his clothes, and wanted to go to the lounge.
The interns were first holed up in the lounge before they were called out one by one.
"Doctor Ling." Nurse Wang Jia stopped Ling Ran. He didn't know if she had run over, but her nose was a little red and there was a bead of sweat on it.
Ling Ran stood still and looked over.
"The head nurse told me to cooperate with you." Nurse Wang Jia said excitedly, "From today onwards, I'll follow you to perform surgeries using the M-Tang technique."
"Oh, okay." Ling Ran paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "I'll have to trouble you with the operating table."
"It's no trouble at all." Wang Jia shook her head vigorously and said happily, "I'll study hard too."
A brand new surgical method was a challenge for both doctors and nurses. In order to form a well-coordinated team, not only did the doctors need to be familiar with the surgical method, but the nurses also needed to be familiar with it. This way, they could hand over the appropriate instruments at the right time, and when the doctor's attention was focused on one point, the nurses could help check for any mistakes.
Most doctors had the experience of being scolded by scrub nurses, criticized by nurses in the operating theater, and urged by circulating nurses before they became senior resident doctors or even attending physicians. This was especially so for minor surgeries such as appendectomies. Young doctors used these surgeries as practice, and nurses had probably accompanied them in more than a hundred surgeries. When they saw that their clumsy claws could not remove the appendix even after a long time, there were very few who could not help but speak up.
But when it came to major surgeries like the M-Tang technique, nurses could not rely solely on time to accumulate familiarity, and they did not have that many surgeries to practice. Therefore, when it came to major surgeries, many hospitals also required nurses to participate in preoperative discussions to understand the steps of the surgery. Those who were interested would also want to familiarize themselves with and understand the chief surgeon.
At this moment, Wang Jia's eyes sparkled. She wanted to get to know Ling Ran better. She followed and asked, "Doctor Ling, what kind of equipment do you need? You can tell me, and I'll write the report."
"I don't have any special requirements." Ling Ran thought about it carefully. The M-Tang technique did not actually require too many special instruments. Yun Hua Hospital had at least two or three commonly used surgical methods to suture flexor tendons. There were probably almost ten surgical methods that had been developed, and the M-Tang technique was naturally one of them.
Speaking of which, Yun Hua Hospital's Orthopedics Department, General Surgery Department, and Emergency Department had all performed hand tendon sutures. It was just a matter of frequency and success rate.
In hospitals, especially large-scale tertiary Grade A general hospitals like Yun Hua Hospital, the surgical methods they carried out were often not decided by the department or the name of the department, but by the high-ranking doctors in the department.
On one hand, doctors were required to carry out new surgical methods and surgical methods during various professional title assessments and annual accreditation. On the other hand, arrogant doctors would always have new ideas and new interests. Not only would the hospital not stop them, they would also give them support, or rather, they might not be able to stop them even if they wanted to.
The Emergency Department was a major department in Yun Hua Hospital. If Huo Congjun wanted to snatch business from the Hand Surgery Department, other departments would only cooperate with him.
Wang Jia thought that Ling Ran did not understand, so she deliberately said, "There's no need for special requirements. You can ask for anything. If you don't ask for it now, it'll be difficult to ask for it in the future."
Ling Ran said, "Let's wait until we have patients first, then make specific arrangements."
"If you want patients, you can have them within a day. Let's make arrangements first —"
"Department Director Huo has found patients?" Ling Ran interrupted Wang Jia.
The biggest obstacle for doctors to carry out new surgical methods was the source of patients. Patients could not be created by themselves. They could only wait, and this made many medical research very complicated.
For example, Wu Jieping, a master medical scientist from Union Medical College Hospital, one of his achievements was to identify a new disease — adrenal medulla hyperplasia. To confirm this disease, he started in the sixties and spent sixteen years to collect seventeen cases. On average, there was only one case per year. This kind of passive waiting often made doctors feel like astronomers when they did research.
Wang Jia could not understand Ling Ran's thoughts. She said in a daze, "There are many people with flexor tendon injuries. Our hospital receives one every few days. If you're in a hurry, you can call the Emergency Medical Center and ask them to send more patients with flexor tendon injuries here. Also, you can ask Department Director Huo to inform the district and county hospitals under him. If you're lucky, you'll get one on the same day. "
Ling Ran came to a sudden realization and asked, "What about my assistant? Who's going to be my assistant? "
"Department Director Huo." Wang Jia paused for a moment and added, "You're not qualified to be the chief surgeon, so in the surgery records, Department Director Huo will be the chief surgeon, and you'll be the assistant. When it's time to operate, you'll be the chief surgeon."
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Department Director Huo will probably talk to you when the time comes. Don't say anything, I'll tell you first."
Ling Ran nodded to show that he understood.
Not long after, Department Director Huo summoned Ling Ran and talked about the chief surgeon and assistant.
Ling Ran was fine with it. He only said, "For the sake of convenience, I'll need another second assistant."
It was very unreliable for a department director to be an assistant. He was very busy, so how could he stay in the operating theater every day to do chores for Ling Ran? In fact, many department directors were used to being chief surgeons in name and letting the doctors under them do the actual work.
Huo Congjun reckoned that he would only pay more attention to Ling Ran in the beginning. He wanted a big Emergency Department, not a big chain.
"Even if you didn't ask, I would've arranged it for you." Huo Congjun chuckled and said, "Well, as for the second assistant, I'll arrange Lu Wenbin for you. He just finished his housemanship, so let him learn from you. "
He actually wanted to send an attending physician to learn from Ling Ran so that he could learn the M-Tang technique faster. However, Ling Ran's status as an intern was too dazzling, so the resident doctors had no choice.
